Hunter’s P.O.V. I wake up with a huge smile on my face and my cheeks start to burn as I remember what happened last night. I can’t wait to mate with the others and I know they can’t wait either. Turning on my side my eye catches a glimmer of silver not far from me and for a moment my heart stops beating, we forgot to use protection. “Jayce is going to kill me.” I whisper to Justice and she just shrugs her shoulders, “If it is meant to be you will have a Pup and otherwise we will wait until the time is right.” She replies. I can sense that I am alone in the room and I slowly make my way over to the bathroom, feeling sore in all the right places. I stand under the cascading water with my eyes closed, “Justice, I am not sure if I actually want to wait with having Pups. I know I want to finish my studies and I want to enjoy some time with my Mates, but I still want to become a Mom.” I say as I starts to wash my hair. “We have four Mates, a family and great friends, they will help us out when we need them.” I listen to her as I wash the suds of my body and I wonder how long it will be before I will know if I am pregnant or not. “As a Royal Lycan we will be able to tell within twenty four hours and the pregnancy will be about four months.” Justice states and I decide that I need to talk to all my Mates about this. “I can not make this decision for them, Justice. I need to know how they feel if I decide I don’t want to take action today, I need to know that they will support whatever.” I quietly whisper to her as I make my way out of the bathroom. Jayce is sitting on an armchair in front of the window and the look on his face tells me that he is deep in thought, maybe he realized the same thing I did this morning. His eye color changing from time to time shows that he is talking to Colt and sometimes I see a worried look on his face. After I have put on some jeans and a tank top I walk over to the other armchair to wait for Jayce to figure out that I am in the room with him. A ding from my phone tells me that I have received a message and I quickly glance at the message, looks like Mom had to tell Dad about my plan. She most haven gotten so excited that Dad felt her emotions go up and down, Mom had to tell him as she is a lousy liar and I wouldn’t want her to lie to him about this. I wish I could feel Jayce’s emotions right now, but time has taught me that he is good at stopping them from coming to the surface and that is why I can’t sense how he feels about this. Jayce’s P.O.V. Minutes after I woke up I received my first message and I knew it was one of my Brothers, within minutes I received two more messages. I gave them all the same answer, “I need to figure out something, when I do I will let you know.” They didn’t respond and I didn’t expect them to. I had let Colt out for a run to clear my mind, I needed to find a way to talk to Hunter about forgetting protection and as he ran through the forest my mind got filled with Hunter and a baby bump. I kept seeing her getting bigger, her holding our Pup and then her holding our Pup with another baby bump. Colt had started to butt in and told me to keep quiet about not using protection, he would be able to tell within a few days if she was carrying our Pup or not. We had argued the rest of the run about telling her or not, I wanted to tell her and Colt didn’t want to. When I came back into our bedroom Hunter was in the shower and I sat down in an armchair, just staring out the window while arguing with Colt. I didn’t notice she came back into the room or that she sat down in the other armchair, not even Colt noticed she was near us. Apparently she got sick of waiting, because suddenly I get slapped on my head and I hear her walking out of the room. She slams the door behind her and both, Colt and I, know that we pissed her of for some reason. “Princess, can you please come back? We need to talk.” I am glad she didn’t block me and after a minute or two she walks back into the room. “Sorry, Princess. I didn’t hear you coming out of the bathroom, Colt and I were arguing.” I say and my jaw drops as she says, “Yeah, I watched the two of you for over thirty minutes. I called you both numerous of times, but I think I would have gotten a quicker response if I had talked to the bed.” She growls as I get out of my seat and I raise my hands in surrender before I sit down again. “Princess, after you fell asleep I realized we didn’t use protection. Colt didn’t want me to tell you, he wanted to wait a few days until he can tell whether or not you are pregnant and I didn’t want to keep it from you. Colt and I went for a run to think about how to tell you, but then I pictured you with a baby bump and then I was inclined to agree with Colt. Picturing you holding our Pup with another baby bump nearly convinced me to keep my mouth shut, but I know this needs to be a decision we all make and not just me.” I finally look at her and she is staring at her hands, an indication she is thinking. I keep quiet as she keeps staring at her hands and I hope that she will not be mad at me for wanting her to be pregnant. I know I was the one that told her to keep in mind that a combination of her studies and raising Pups at the same time would be challenging, but if she turns out to be pregnant I will make sure that at least one of us is home at all times. Hunter’s P.O.V. Justice and I are stunned at his admission that he pictured us pregnant, we know he was the one to point out my studies but he also said he wanted Pups and that it didn’t matter to him when it would happen. None of my Mates care when we have Pups, they just want Pups with me. “Colt won’t be able to tell for a few days, while we will be able to tell by morning. Should we tell Jayce we will know faster?” Justice asks with a grin on her face and for a moment I don’t know how to respond. “Jayce, we need to discuss this with Jax, Jason and Justin and we need to do that now. Is anyone doesn’t want to take a risk at me getting pregnant, than I have to take a pill within the hour.” I mumble as I am staring at my hands. “Princess, first answer me this. Do you want to get pregnant now?” He asks. “Jayce, if they agree with us I don’t want to take any pills. I am willing to take a gamble, if it is meant to be we will have a Pup soon and otherwise it will happen later. However this made me realize that I want Pups as soon as possible.” I say as I look into his eyes. A thousand watt smile appears on his face and he pulls me into his arms as his lips lock with mine. A knock on the door and my phone ringing pulls us apart, Jayce goes to the door while I see that Dad is calling me. “Hello, Dad. What can I do for you?” I ask him as I walk out of our bedroom to see my Mom walking into our living room. “I felt your emotions going up and down, what is going on with you?” He asks and I tell him that Jayce and I were in the middle of a discussion. “Don’t worry, Dad. As usual I am winning our argument, but then again when am I not.” I say with a smirk on my face and Mom looks relieved as she has also heard my words. Dad and I say our goodbyes and I turn to look at Mom. “Sorry, Pumpkin. I am hear for the same reason, but I will let you two continue with your discussion. Just promise me that you will both leave the Palace standing.” She says teasingly as she walks away from us and I see a strange look on Jayce’s face. “What? Did you want me to say; Dad, Jayce and I are discussing the fact that we didn’t use protection and now we need to figure out if I am going to take a pill or not.” He stares at me before he starts laughing as he shakes his head and I mumble, “I didn’t think you would.” He grabs me by my shoulders to guide me towards the couch and we both sit down while he is holding his tablet. He sends Jax, Jason and Justin a message, telling them that we need to have a video call asap and Jax is the first to answer. Jax and Justin are ready for the video call, but we haven’t heard anything from Jason yet and I wonder if he is still asleep.
