“Okay, let me explain what she meant with it. They are all nicknames, PJ stands for Prince Jax, GeeGee for Gamma Gabe and BeeBee for Beta Brent.” Jax’s eyes widen as it slowly sinks in and I decide to make it a little worse.
“PJ also means Prince Jayce, Prince Jason and Prince Justin. Hunter said to me when she found out your names, now I have four PJ’s on my hand.” Gabe and Brent are laughing their asses off and Aspen hides her face in my chest as laughter rumbles through me.
The boys ask all kinds of questions about Hunter and soon I realize there is more to this girl than meets the eye. With Aspen working at the hospital at odd hours, there never was much stability at home and I vow to myself and Joshua that we will make time for our Daughter.
Joshua considers her as his own as much as I do and we are fierce when it comes to protecting our Pups, even though my Sons can take care of themselves.
Hunter’s P.O.V.
Justice is the one that forced me out of that office, I was about to give that idiot a piece of my mind. Justice forced me to walk into the gardens and calm myself down by just walking around.
“Hunter, Dad doesn’t know how strong we are. Even Mom doesn’t know and she has been with us our whole lives. You need to talk to him, not yell at him. You can’t just piss him off, you hate it when people assume things, that also works the other way around.
You can’t just assume that he won’t listen to you or that he will shut you down before you get to explain yourself.” I know that she is right and I do need to give him the chance to hear my side of the story.
To hear why I do not agree with his rules, why it is not safe to apply them to me and I am already on my way back when Mom links me. “Pumpkin, can you come back to the office.
I think it is time that they hear about my family, before somehow that witch shows up here.” I tell her that I am on my way and that I will explain Grandmother to them.
As I walk back to the Palace I see Adam and Esther arguing just up ahead and I decide to walk right pass them, acting as if I didn’t see them. I hear her yelling at him, how he could sit next to me in front of her and I had to stifle a laugh at her ridiculous words.
“Esther, you rejected me. You didn’t want a simple Warrior, you wanted a High-ranking Lycan. Not even a High-ranking Werewolf would have been good enough for you and we both know that.
Hunter is a part of the Royal Family now and I swore to protect every member of the family. It is my job to keep an eye on her, to keep her safe and to protect her from the likes of you.” He says and I smile at him as I walk passed them.
“Your Highness.” He says as he bows his head and I keep walking towards the Palace, from the corner of my eye I see Chris standing behind a cone shaped shrub not far from Esther and Adam.
Before I open the door I look over my shoulder to see Esther yelling at Adam and I see Chris shaking his head as he runs his hand over his face.
“Hello, Princess Hunter. It is nice to meet you, now that you are awake.” The woman in front of me smiles at me with kind looking eyes.
She introduces herself as Martha and tells me that she has taken care of the Royal Family for decades. “That means if I ever need something to hold against my Brothers, I’ll come looking for you.” I say with a huge grin on my face.
I look around me and see that there is no one else around, I lean closer and say softly “If there is no one else around, just call me Hunter. I think I will blow a gasket if I hear Princess Hunter or Your Highness too often.”
She giggles as she tells me that she will keep that in mind and I ask her if she can serve lunch in the King’s office. “I need to explain a few things and that might take some time.”
Two staff-members show up and they are each holding a tray with food and Martha walks back into the kitchen to grab a tray as well. The four of us go back to the King’s office and I knock on the door before I open it for Martha and the others.
“Martha, thank you for bringing us lunch. But we could have had it in the dining-room.” Daniel says and Martha looks over her shoulder at me. “Dad, I asked Martha to bring lunch here. There is something you need to know and it might take a little time to explain.” I say.
After Martha leaves I walk over to Daniel and crawl on to his lap and he wraps his arms around me. “I’m sorry for growling and walking out. I know that I am not like every other Lycan and I forgot that you have no knowledge about what I am capable of.
I think it is sometimes a little difficult for me to accept that I have to keep a lid on everything. I speak my mind, which not everyone appreciates. I act before I think, which causes me to get in to trouble.
But most of all I have trouble controlling my strength when someone pisses me off. Justice forced me to leave the room and I am grateful she did, because I don’t know what would have happened if I had stayed.” I tell him as I hold on to him for dear life.
Aspen’s P.O.V.
I feel for my Daughter as she tells Daniel why she growled and why she left the room, I never knew this had been bothering her. I know she is smarter than most, I know she has no filter and I know that she is very strong, but I never realized it was troubling her.
“Princess, thank you for explaining yourself. I will do my best to keep in mind that I should listen to you and not treat you like a little Pup. It will not always be easy for me and I need you to bear with me, to explain things to me.
I need you to always be honest with me and I will make sure that you are always heard.” Daniel says to her and she tells him that she will always tell him what is troubling her, that she will always be honest with him.
“Daniel, I asked Hunter to explain to all of you a few things about my family. I can’t do it, because it causes me too much stress and I don’t want to go down that road ever again.” I say as I keep my eyes on my hands.
Daniel puts his hand over mine and I feel my nerves calming down at his touch. Hunter gets up from his lap and he quickly pulls me on to his lap, wrapping his arms around me.
I see Brent and Gabe sitting close together on a couch to my right, while the boys are slouching in armchairs and Hunter lies down on the couch to my left. She is staring at the ceiling and I see her clenching her jaw.
