Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?
Hunter’s P.O.V. “Thank you. I have arranged rooms for all of you at the Pack-house and I hope you will enjoy your time there. I also hope that at least some of you will leave there as a mated and marked couple and a small part of me hopes that will apply to all of you. I want you to stay and listen to the rest of this meeting, I hope you will let me know if there is something I might have to chance. Elders, because of Prince Drew a Law was written up by the King and the Elders three hundred and fifty years ago. At the age of seventeen we are considered old enough to consent to marking and mating. However, I do understand why we were taught to let your Mate experience the Harvest Moon for themselves and because of that I would recommend to remove the marking out of that Law. If the Wolf or Lycan is under the age of seventeen they are not allowed to stay in the same room, anyone that allows it shall receive a punishment that was decided on by the Pack-members; not death. My parents also pointed out something I had not thought about, there will also be mentioned that no one can stop their underaged Mate from studies or pursuing a career. I want to keep the rest of that Law intact, meaning they have to report it to the Elders and they have to be at the Palace at the first Harvest Moon after turning eighteen. The punishment will stay the same, the lying Wolf or Lycan will be put to death.” I walk back to my Mates and sit down on Jayce’s lap to give everyone the time to process my words. “Princess Hunter.” One of the Elders says to get my attention and I turn my head to face him, knowing exactly why what he wants to say. “Elder Ward, I know about your Niece and what happened to her. That is why I took out the marking in the Law for age of consent. If that had never been in the Law she wouldn’t have lost her fated Mate the way she did and I am really sorry for what happened to her, but we can’t let the majority of the Lycans and Werewolves suffer because of one rotten Lycan or Werewolf. The higher the rank of a Lycan or Werewolf the more difficult it will become to control their other half without their Mate present. I do not have to tell you what that can cause, now do I.” I say before he can speak a single word. One of the females I invited stands up and I nod my head, giving her permission to speak. “Your Highness, thank you for asking me to come. After I found out my Mate had known for almost two years and had been acting like a jerk because of it, I left our Pack to study. I build a career outside of our Pack and I avoid going onto Pack grounds, unless it is mandatory. For the last three years or so my Wolf and I have been struggling without our Mate, but we both agree on one thing we were not at fault and we won’t accept him easily.He has to proof that he deserves to be our Mate, he is the one that has to put in the effort to make this work.” I see a small smile appear on a male’s face that hasn’t taken his eyes of her since she stood up to speak. “Thank you. I believe your Mate is glad you are willing to give him a chance to proof himself worthy of you and I wish all of you all the happiness in the world. You also brought up something of which I still don’t know how to incorporate it into the Law. We also have to consider our Lycan or Werewolf side in this, after all this affects them as well and I think we need to keep that in mind. If anyone has any idea on how to put that in this Law I am more than willing to listen. I don’t need answers or ideas today, you can leave them with Beta Brennon or Gamma Grant and they will make sure I get them.” I reply and after that I suspend the meeting until after lunch. I inform the Elders I expect all of them to return after lunch and I tell my guests that they will be escorted to the Pack-house after lunch. It is busy and noisy in the main dining room as usual and I enjoy every second of it as I eat my lunch. This time I am seated between Mom and Dad at my request and I have a feeling my Mates will punish me for it.
