Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?
Hunter’s P.O.V. “Turns out that there is an old Law that states that a female can challenge the worth of the Queen if she is not pregnant within three years of mating with the King. Challenging the Queen’s worth basically means that if the Queen is not pregnant at the time of the challenge the King has to reject her. Elder Matthew has looked at everything there is on this Law and nowhere does it state it becomes voided if there are Pups from his first Mate. Meaning that someone could have challenged your worth to the Kingdom without being pregnant, Dad would have had no other choice but to reject you.” Emma and Ella are fuming with anger and Mom looks as if I have grown a second head. We sit there in silence as we finish our drinks and snacks, each of us in a world of our own. Justice tells me to start looking in the digital library as it has had hidden parts of Laws and I smile as I realize that I have to do some digging of my own. I ask Emma to get me her laptop and I ask Mom why no one has come knocking on the door yet. My jaw drops as she tells us what she had said before she had walked out of Dad’s office and Ella is in stitches. Mom has to repeat herself for Emma’s sake and soon the four of us were rolling in the aisles. Once we have calmed down a bit I take the laptop from Emma and Mom looks at the screen with me, while Emma and Ella are looking at Ella’s laptop. It is rather easy to find the Law Dad mentioned and everything we read is what we already are aware of, but I want to find the hidden parts of this Law. “Got it.” Emma yells and she tells me how to find the file she has found. Silently the four of us start reading through pages on this Law called Queen Unworthy and a link from Daphne pulls my attention away from it. Martha had send her and Jack over with dinner for the four of us, we keep reading while eating our dinner and by the time we are done it is almost midnight. “Okay, girls, lets get some sleep. Those letters are standing to dance the tango in front of my eyes.” Mom mumbles and I see Emma and Ella yawn as I look up from the laptop. “We have read through everything and I could use a good night’s rest.” Mom and I each take a guest room as Emma and Ella walk into their own rooms. Mom softly calling my name wakes me up in the morning and even though I thought I would be unable to sleep without my Mates I had slept like a baby. We all get ready to attend breakfast in the main dining room and there will be hell to pay for the bitch that is after Dad. A lot of chatter is coming from the main dining room and I think I have found the female that is after Dad, but nobody has noticed us yet. Justice starts growling in my head as the female says that she hopes Mom will miscarriage, because than she will take over as Queen.“Even if you were the last She-wolf alive I wouldn’t touch you with a barge pole.” Dad growls at here and Mom and I have to stifle a smile as the female’s face pales. Dad and my Mates look as if they have pulled an all-nighter and I tell Mom through the mind-link it is time to put someone in her place. To my surprise I see that every Elder is present in the main dining room and I link Daphne and Jack to make sure none of them leave before I have had my say. Dad’s chair falls to the floor with a loud bang as he jumps up to wrap Mom up in his arms and a second later I am surrounded by my Mates. Through the mind-link I ask my Mates to take a step back and I know they think it because of them. I see a huge smirk on the face of a female I have never seen before, but I know she is the one after Mom’s Mate and I will be ruthless in cutting her down. “Elder Matthew, yesterday I was told that someone pointed out a Law called Queen Unworthy and this morning I heard someone say she hopes the our Queen will miscarriage. Is it safe for me to assume that that came from the mouth of one and the same person?” I ask and Elder Matthew nods his head. I turn my eyes on the female and as I look into her eyes I say, “Whoever gave you that information forgot to tell you that as long as I am breathing I will find every answer I want or need. In our digital library I have found documents that go with that Law and they are additions to that Law. You can challenge the Queen if she is the King’s chosen Mate, whether there are already Pups from a first Mate or not. However, you can NOT challenge the Queen if she is the King’s fated Mate and seeing the fact that my Mother is the King’s second chance Mate you can NOT challenge her. In short, you got screwed. Mom, will you do the honors?” I ask as Mom steps next to me and she banishes the female from Palace grounds for the rest of her life.
