"Breathe" Hunter whispers squeezing Isabella's hand, as if on comand she let out a large breath that she seemed to have been holding in for minutes at a time 

"I don't think I can do this" Isabella replies through gritted teeth, the whole of the pack house was lined inside whereas a lot of werewolves had come from far and wide to get a glimpse of the old King and Queen, it was times like this and their wedding that Isabella remembered that Hunter was the King and she was now in fact the Queen of every single werewolf (Even the rogues, not that they liked to admit it)

Taking her hand that wasn't occupied by regular squeezes from Hunter and cradles her bump with it like a safety blanket, it had become a habit of her and she didn't know what she was going to do when she didn't have the bump to hide behind anymore, then again she would then have her babies in her arms and nothing else would matter.

"You'll be fine, I love you and they will too" Hunter says smiling down reassuringly even though his palm was sweating nervously which didn't exactly fill Isabella with confidence

A louder cheer from outside the door told everyone inside that they were there, Hunter moved his hand from Isabella's and put it around her waist as if to make sure she didn't try to run away. The door was opened from the outside by two pack members to allow Hunter's predecessors in through the door, they had stern looks on their faces and were stood no where near each other as if purposely trying to not touch each other.

"Lets go" Hunter says pressing against Isabella's back lightly to get her to move forward which she did numbly, it had been a long time since she had felt so sick with nerves.

"Mother, Father.... this is Isabella" Hunter says with a forced smile on his face 

"Nice to meet you, your.... your highnesses" Isabella says stuttering slightly while Hunter's mother glared down at her 

"As a Queen you don't show much confidence" she tuts looking down her nose at Isabella while Hunter glared at her 

"Sorry" Isabella whispers playing with the hem of her tshirt, he looked down at the floor feeling a child who was getting in trouble, if this was how Hunter was made to feel like she was starting to see why he didn't want to see them

"Mum, don't speak to Isabella like that" He whispered angrily not wanting anyone else to hear him as he reached over to awkwardly kiss her on the cheek before shaking his hands hand, when they pulled away, Isabella noticed how Hunter's usually tanned skin had gone pale with the force of the bone breaking hand shake 

"Well she should be working harder to be an admirable Queen" she replies back tutting disapprovingly 

"Ah your highness, nice to see you again" A voice chirps up from beside Isabella, she is glad to see Jackson with a cheeky smile on his face with a wink that he sends to Isabella and Hunter

"Ahh, Jackson - still mateless i see?" The former King asks

Isabella was becoming increasingly annoyed, how dare they speak to them like that? Isabella was making their son happy as was Jackson at yet nothing they did seemed to be good enough for them, although she knew Hunter was never upset with her about what she had said two days earlier about him being ungreatful towards his parents but this experience had made her feel even worse.

"Nope, no mates yet - I've decided to dedicate my life to bring people together which could be preventing me from meeting my own mate... what can I say, I'm a man of the people - some may say a saint!" Jackson explains "Or even Cupid" he says turning to once again wink at Isabella, she stiffled a laugh as she rememered the time he had helped her realise how much Hunter loved her and he had said he was going to name himself Cupid 

"Peter, show my parents to their rooms" Hunter says biting his lip slightly to control his anger

"Yes your highness" a small boy to his right whispers nervously, there are 3 people behind them holding a number of suitcases that legs seem to be shaking slightly at the weight of the luggage, the boy whose name was Peter rushed off up the stairs with the former King and Queen following them

-

"UGH" Hunter yelled tugging at his hair as he threw himself onto the bed that he and Isabella shared, once the formal meeting was done, Hunter dragged her back up to their room to relax

"Well... I thought it went well" Isabella says lying unconvincingly, even Hunter removed his arm from over his face to look up at her with raised eyebrows "Okay, okay! So it wasn't great but I'll live" 

"Come cuddle" Hunter whispers holding out his arms sounding like a small child, Isabella couldn't help but smile at him as she waddled her way over 

"God, you're sexy" Hunter winked while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively

"Shut up!" Isabella giggled feeling herself blush as she crawled into the bed into his arms 

"I love you" he sighs contently shifting so that he was leaning over Isabella, he leant down slightly to kiss her, he ran his hand down her side making her shiver under his touch which made him smile in the kiss. Hunter deeped the kiss and leant further over his mates body yet he was barely even touching her, half to make sure he didn't hurt her or the babies but also because he knew how much she loved feeling his hands on her - it was almost torture when he barely touched her, pulling away for a moment he reached down to pull off his own top before doing the same to Isabella.

"I love you too" Isabella whispered before Hunter grinned, put his hands on either side of her face then pulled her to him to kiss her again, Hunter pulled Isabella on top of him and continued kissing each other 

"Hunter... I wanted to go and see your sister" a voice says making Isabella spring away from Hunter to try and dive under the bed sheet covers that had been made up by someone in the pack house, they had made it so well that Isabella couldn't even pull them out with both her and Hunter on the bed so she grabbed at her tshirt to just cover as much of her as she could without putting it on

"Mum!" Hunter yelled, the Queen whose name was Catherine was looking at him obliviously pretending like she hadn't walked in his room to see Isabella on top of her son, for that matter she was pretending like Isabella wasn't even there full stop "We have rules here and one of them is you knock at the door and i can tell you when you get to enter"

"Just put your clothes on, I want to go and see your sister" Catherine replies rolling her eyes as if she had been found in this position before and it wasn't a big deal, Isabella thought she must have never had fun or done anything that would be remotely embarassing

"Isabella?" Hunter smiles warmly as if to say 'you come too' 

"No Hunter, just family please, you don't mind to you Isabella" Catherine smiles sweetly but Isabella can see that it isn't a real smile, what had she done to Catherine to make her dislike her so much

"Isabella is family!" Hunter spits angrily once again

"No Hunter, you go. I'm feeling a little tired so a lie down will do me good" Isabella smiles, he eyes her up and down unconvinced "Go on, I'll be fine. I'll see you when you get back" she says reaching over to give him a kiss before he sighs and gets up taking his shirt with him before leaving the room, Catherine following closely behind.
