Prologue

1000+ Years ago

Drax

I was in a field with my best friends playing when we met up with the wolves from the River Bay Pack. We were between the ages of seventeen to twenty, and there is where I met the Alpha's son, Ryker, he was a pain in the ass. His brother Riley was younger than him but we accepted him as one of us, I was always the shy one but I would be outspoken if the occasion arose. Roman was always a little troublemaker and always a little friendlier with the girls. As we got older, we were always training to be ready to take over our father's respective roles when the time was right. Roman was abused by his father and would always bunk with any of us hiding out from him. Ryker moved away to train to be Alpha for a few years when he turned eighteen, as he was two years older than me, and it was weird not having him around.

Eventually, I started going with the others to the Fae kingdom where I had a huge crush on Michael, although he was identical to Cayden, he had this unique aura and attractiveness about him. I love women but I never understood why I was also attracted to Michael, I protected him as he was bullied for his stutter but we became good friends and it remained that way all my life. I kissed him once, and I was surprised he kissed back, when it got heated, he stopped, smiled, and said, "I knew you liked me, but sorry to break your bubble, lap dog, I like girls," I respected his decision but I wasn't sure why I kissed him either. As we got older, I dated a lot of she-wolves, over a hundred years had passed before I heard Ryker had returned.

We had a welcoming party that we were invited to and I attended, Aidan was not around as he was also doing his training. Roman was a heavy womanizer and drinker, rumor has it, that his mate rejected him and he became unbearable at times but he was our best friend and we loved and supported him. The celebration was a big one and the entertainment was amazing, the dancers kept us entertained and the food was in abundance. Ty had just taken a she-wolf to a room and I knew what was going on, I just smiled, I admired men and women as they walked by. I was conflicted about my attraction to both sexes and never really understood it back then.

Later that night, as some wolves were making out and having full-blown sex with the hired prostitutes, some even met their mates, my wolf, Klaus said, "Our mate is here," and I perked up and asked, "What do you mean?" "Mate is here, go find our mate," was all he said, so I started to walk around sniffing the air, it got stronger as I was walking away from the activities. I came to a gate that lead me to moaning sounds and I could smell the sex, I was furious, "Was our mate getting fucked by another, was she already marked, or is she a prostitute that fucked plenty of men?" I was thinking out loud to myself, I followed her amazing scent although mixed in with the sex and then I saw them by the pond, Ryker bottoming her out. I was drawn to her but as I got closer, Ryker was sniffing the air, not her, and then our eyes met, both our wolves saying, "Mate." The she-wolf was too far in her sexual high to notice, I ran away from there, there was no way in hell Ryker, a man, was my mate, my father would never accept this and I left the party without telling anyone.

One Month Later

I have been avoiding Ryker the best I could for over a month now, but my wolf wanted his mate, he didn't care that he was a man and I was so conflicted. I had she-wolves in my bed every night trying to fuck myself straight but I would always drift back to that night wishing it was Ryker fucking me and then I said, "Never, I would be fucking him." I kept training and kept busy, avoiding going to his pack until he ended up joining our warriors for a while so he could talk to me. I was furious and still tried to avoid him, I was going to the lake after practice to swim and relax clearing my head, no one knew about this location unless it was one of the others, this was our private sanctuary. I smelled Ryker before I saw him and he sat next to me and said, "Why are you avoiding me? I hope you are not angry I was fucking that she-wolf, I promised you if I had known I would have met my mate there that night, I wouldn't have been with her."

I smiled and said, "It's not that, I was just surprised that's all," he nodded in understanding. I looked at him and he was the most beautiful man I had ever laid my eyes on, his green eyes and blonde golden hair were up in a man bun, I could see he had stubble which suited him, and his tattoos on his chest and strong arms. I bit my lip and turned my head as the bond was really playing with me. He touched my face rubbing his thumb on my lip saying, "I always knew you were someone special to me, that's why I hung out with you years ago, I never expected we were mates and I don't care if we are men, the moon goddess paired us for a reason." the tingles and sparks I felt when he touched me went straight to my cock and I was hard, Ryker said, "I feel the same," before he leans in and kisses me, I wanted to pull away, but his lips were so soft and yet his kisses were the right amount of pressure, his scent of masculine musk and mint invaded my nose.

(Sexual Content)

We started going to the lake to meet up although we hadn't had sex, we were just getting to know more about each other and spending time together. We hadn't kissed after the first encounter as I was still conflicted but it was getting harder and harder to stay away from Ryker. I had tried taking she-wolves to bed but my wolf would refuse and I ended up pleasuring myself at night thinking about Ryker. One day my father announced that he wanted me and Ryker to travel to the hunting cabin to get a few supplies to bring back to the warriors and I was uneasy but did it anyway. Ryker and I traveled by horse to get the supplies but it was late and we decided to stay the night. The fire by the fireplace was keeping us warm as we ate our dinner, Ryker said, "I want us to accept each other, it has been weeks." I looked at him and said, "Are you crazy? We would be executed and or shunned," and he looked at me and replied, "I have been thinking about this, we could run away together I want you Drax, that's all that matters."

I looked at him and said, "You would give up everything to be with me?" Ryker kissed me so pasionately, I couldn't fight it anymore, I gave in to the bond as we started taking our clothes off, this man was everything I could ask for in a mate. He kisses my chess as the tingles intensified, my cock was leaking precum as he wrapped his mouth around my shaft. I throw my head back in ecstasy moaning, "Fuck," his mouth was amazing. I grabbed his hair as he bob his head up and down, feeling my release, I was breathing heavily now as my toes curled, he knew what he was doing to me and I cummed down his throat. That night we made love all into the morning, I woke up when it was almost midday and Ryker had just finished cooking the rabbit. We ate and he wanted to talk about what happened but all I said was, "This can never happen again," before we rode back in silence to the palace.
