Justin’s P.O.V. I am so proud of our Mate, she knew what she could expect along the way and she made sure how to clear some of the obstacles. I know she will always try to keep another’s best interest at mind and will do what ever she can to ensure that everyone is taken care of. I can’t wait to see her back at the Palace to deal with all the crap we had to deal with over the years and I can’t hold back my laughter at her way of dealing with it. “Why do I get the feeling this has something to do with that Cousin of mine?” Max asks. Hunter looks at me with a stern look and I start laughing even harder as I imagine her giving that look to one of the Elders, to calm myself I turn my face a way from her. “Princess, sorry for that. I was just thinking about how you would deal with some of the crap we have dealt with over the years. Or you giving that look to one of the Elders as they screw up again and I really look forward to seeing them squirm as you lecture them on their lack of knowledge.” I say and everyone starts laughing, knowing that I am telling the truth. Max and Matt are laughing their asses off as they keep looking at Hunter, I slowly turn around to face her and I burst out in laughter at the murderous look in her eyes. Jayce is shaking his head at me, but I can’t seem to stop laughing. I see twinkles forming in Hunter’s eyes and I know it won’t be long before she starts laughing too. Her lips start to twitch and I can see that she is giving it her all to not start laughing, as I keep looking in her eyes she finally bursts out in laughter. It takes us a few moments to calm down and make our way back to the Alpha office, to return to the stacks of papers spread out across the room. I grab the stack of papers that contains the punishment I think is very fitting and I see others do the same. We all read our paper out loud and it seems that some Pack-members were thinking the same thing on their punishment, making me smile as I hear a few things that have been written down on my paper. Hunter’s P.O.V. This Pack seems to care a great deal for their leaders and they understand what their Alpha and his Son have done for them. I still don’t like the fact they didn’t reach out to the Royals, but that is an entire other issue to deal with. It is close to lunch when we have finally agreed on what their punishment will be and first thing after lunch Alpha Quinten will tell his Pack that at eight o'clock they will hear what the verdict is and when their punishment will take place. Frank has asked me if and when he will be allowed to ask Myles to become his Beta and we decided it would be a good opportunity to ask him at the Pack meeting, before we will announce the punishment we have chosen. Slowly one by one we leave the Alpha office to get some food, I feel exhausted from listening to the ideas the Pack-members provided us with and then having to decide what the best course of action would be. It had been quiet a discussion and I have to admit that most of the ideas were exactly what a punishment should be like. Enough embarrassment for the ones involved and all having the same end result, death. One Pack-member made me realize that one person was overlooked in this matter and I actually liked his idea on how to make sure that person would not get away with his involvement. Jayce guides me to the dining room for lunch and I can't wait for this to be over and done with, I want to go home to see Mom, to tell her I love her. After lunch I tell Jayce I need to take a nap, because I am still exhausted from hearing every recommendation and to come to a decision on which to use. I slowly wake up with the realization that somehow during my nap I crawled onto one of my Mates and by his breathing I can tell that he is awake, just as my other Mates. “Hello, PJ’s.” I say in a still sleepy voice and in unison they say, “Hello, Princess.” Knowing what the rest of the day brings I wrap myself tighter around Justin, which makes him chuckle as he probably understands why I am reluctant to get out of bed and to emphasize my reluctancy I pull the covers over both our heads. “Leave me in here.” I mumble as someone tries to take the covers down. “Princess, you cannot neglect your duties, just because you do not like it. We all have to do things in life we don’t want to, like not telling you that you are our Mate. We wanted to, each and every one of us, but we were not allowed to.” Justin says as he pulls me a little tighter to his chest. I growl softly because I know that he is right, I still hold on to the covers as I mumble, “Fine, five more minutes.” I can hear the others move around the room, but I refuse to lower the covers or to release the hold I have on Justin. “Okay, Princess. Your five minutes are up.” Jax growls near my head and in annoyance I swat my hand up, only to hit him a lot harder than I intended to do. “Damn, woman. There go my good looks.” He growls and I burst out in laughter. I get off of Justin’s chest and pull Jax in my arms, “Sorry, Jax. I didn’t mean to hit you so hard.” I whisper in his ear as I straddle his lap and I almost jump out of his lap as I feel his raging hard-on against my core. He grabs my hips to pull me back down and grinds his hips, making me moan at the pressure against my clit. He moves my hips against his and I moan softly against his ear, which makes him groan in return. I start to move my hips as he kisses my neck, I push down harder on his cock and his hips buck up towards me. We start moving faster as heat travels through my body and only moments later I shatter into a million pieces. As my breathing starts to slow down I am aware of two things, for one my other Mates are not in the room anymore and for two Jax still has a raging hard-on. I know how to take care of that and I actually like doing it, so I slowly get of his lap to get on my knees between his legs.
