There are perks to being the second born prince, and one is that I don’t have to live my life in the spot light unless I want to. Since I didn’t have to worry about politics and things along those lines because I wasn’t going to be king, which meant I could focus on being a skilled fighter in the military. I spent most of my twenties training to be a in the army and how to lead it. Now, I’m approaching thirty. I’ll be thirty in a matter of months. It’s time for me to start thinking of the dreaded marriage word. 

My older brother, Dillion, is now king. Our father stepped down to illness that is affecting his memory. Dillion has been king for two years now. His rule is new, but firm. I’ve fully supported him. He deserves to be king. He married four years to a lovely woman named, Victoria. The had a son, Dalton, about year ago, and Victoria is very pregnant with baby number two that they have decided to not find the gender of until birth. My younger sister, Danessa, is dating a soldier that comes from wealthy family. My siblings are rocking the relationship department. It’s time I start to because I’m tired of being pursued by women who just want me for my title or women my mom throws at me hoping one will catch my attention. I can’t live off one night stands forever. The problem is finding someone who either interests me enough or someone who is okay with a fake marriage that’s actually a real marriage. Does that even make sense? All I know is I need to figure something out. 

There’s also the political bullshit with the werewolves. Their council has recently replaced so dead member, and there has been a shift of leadership. They are getting ridiculous with their trading demands. It’s as if the werewolf council wants to upset us. I don’t know what this new leadership gains from starting shit with us bit things are getting a bit tense politically with them. I know Dillion has a meeting with the council soon to see if negotiations can be done. My brother doesn’t need my help with political shit unless it’s war and then my skills are needed. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. There has never really been a war between the species before, but if someone in their leadership is getting greedy or bad ideas we have an issue. 

While I my brother plays his political games to see if he wins, I’ll be looking for something to entertain my time while looking for a potential bride. In the mean time, I’ll keep my training up because I am the leader of the army and I have to stay fit as well as sharp. Especially, if war is on the horizon. Was isn’t happening today, so to distract myself I decide to go visit my dad at the home for elderly and those who can’t take of themselves easily. My mom was quick to put the former king in a resident home. With his memory issues he is actually happier in the home. He has friends, he enjoys the activities, and he doesn’t have the burden of the crown any longer. Still, that doesn’t stop the fact that while my mom is still married to my father she has affairs. My mom was only a good queen because of my dad without him she’s better off shopping and staying out sight with her various lovers. 

I call my limo. Rio is my body guard so to speak. Not that I really need one, he comes in handy with press and other things I don’t want to deal with. Rio is also a good friend of mine. We trained in the army together. It’s probably why I trust him with my life. I gave him a job of driving me around being my body guard when needed. I pay him well so he is able to support his family comfortably while having extra for hobbies and stuff for the kids. 

Rio brings the limo around and I slide in. It’s a smaller limo. I might take my dad out if he’s in a good mood and mindset. There is a nearby winery we enjoy. I haven’t been to see my dad in a several months. I’ve been caught up with things. I try to see him as often as possible. The resident home is about two hours from the main city. Leave it to my mom to pick a home so far away. It’s easier for her so she doesn’t have to deal with my dad. In her mind he is already dead. She was left in charge of his care, and while I question some of her choices, she hasn’t totally fucked up. The place might be a couple hours away, but it’s nice and dad is happy. I guess that’s really all we could ask for.
