Daniel’s P.O.V. Aspen and I are lying in bed, but neither one of us is able to fall asleep and I think it might take us a little while to actually fall asleep. Hunter has given us all a lot to think about and I know we will not be the only ones that have trouble falling asleep. “I am so proud of our Pups. They knew they had the Law on their side, but still they decided not to act on it and wait until this Law is correctly in place.” Aspen whispers and I completely agree with her. “I don’t understand why someone would want to hide this.” Aspen looks at me as she mumbles those words and I tell her we will ask Hunter in the morning about it, “Maybe she has an idea as to why someone hid this law.” I pull her closer to me as I hear her breathing even out and soon she is fast asleep in my arms. I let the past few years run through my mind with the knowledge I possess now and I realize that things would have been different for all of us, if we had known about this Law. It would have been a lot easier for our Sons, but I am not sure if it would have been better for Hunter. I will need to express this to her in the morning, she might want to take that into consideration for this Law and that is the last thing that runs through my mind before drifting off to sleep. I wake up startled as I realize I am alone in bed, but I can still smell her scent and that relaxes me immediately. “Sweetheart, why are you not in bed?” I ask without looking for her. She walks into the room from the balcony and I see a notebook in her hand. “I thought of a few things after I woke up and I needed to write them down. I didn’t want to risk waking you, so I decided to sit out on the balcony.” She explains as she crawls back into bed and hands me the notebook. She didn’t just write down things on underaged Mates, but also on the Succession Law and on punishments for every Law we have. She has even thought out a few ideas and like Hunter she wants what is best for the majority of Lycans and Werewolves. After we get dressed we head down to the main dining room and everyone we pass along the way bows their head in respect to me and Aspen. She still struggles with her title, but she has come to accept it as a part of her life and she has proven to me and others that she is worthy of the title. “Goodmorning, my Queen.” Matt says as we enter the dining room and before he can get out of the way Aspen smacks him on his head. Max bursts out in laughter as Matt rubs the back of his head and Emma and Ella hide behind Victor who is struggling to keep from laughing. “Matt, watch it or I will have to have a serious talk with your parents and your Mate.” Aspen says with a stern face and his face pales as he looks at her, but before he can respond Ella blurts out, “He will probably enjoy a punishment from Victor.”Everyone in the dining room stills at her words and Matt’s face turns every shade of red there is. Victor bursts out in laughter while Max is holding on to Gabe and I quickly walk over to the breakfast buffet to make sure no one can see me laughing. Aspen is hiccupping as she tries to keep a straight face, but as you can imagine she fails miserably. We are still laughing when our Pups walk into the dining room and for some reason I think Hunter is aware of what happened only a few minutes ago. “Matt, I thought you knew my Mother by now. Apparently I was wrong or you wouldn’t have called her “my Queen”, do you have a death wish or something.” Hunter says as she walks towards the buffet and kisses her Mom on the cheek. Matt tries to say something, but he looks like a fish on dry land as he opens and closes his mouth and I can’t hold back my laughter anymore. Brent joins me as he keeps his eyes on Matt and it takes us both a while to get our breathing under control again. After we have all calmed down I dig into the food on my plate and Emma tells us what happened after Victor got the news he is going to be an Uncle, making Aspen choke on her coffee as she repeats Peter’s remark.
