“OK, what the fuck was that about?” Adam asked as they sniffed through the wood, looking for their charge.  “What was what?”  “That, back there with the Prince.” “I dunno, nightmare or sommat,” Jaxson replied flippantly. “No, you went in there like your fucking arse was on fire. Like you knew.” “He linked me.” “Only you?” Adam asked skeptically.  “Well… it seems so.”  “I heard him, Jax. I heard him.”  Jaxson went cold, having a suspicion what he was on about. “The mind link? So why the fuck the th

  It was after lunch when Chris was lying sprawled over the bed, her words whirring around his head. She’d accept him as a forced mate, no qualms, no questions. She’d do it. From his conversation with her it seemed to be a more common thing outside of Royal packlands. But was it the right thing?    Right thing or not, he couldn’t accept his true mate.   He scrubbed a hand down his face. Regardless he should still finish the pack tour. Should he take her with him, a courtship period? That was common, many spent at least a few weeks getting to know each other before sealing the bond.    He felt he was tearing himself in two.    “My Prince, His Royal Highness is on the phone in the Alpha off

With his head bent low, they arrived back to the Alpha house without any altercation… just nasty words and looks. He was shaking as he stepped back into his room. He was so preoccupied he hadn’t heard or felt Trey step in behind him until he shut the door. “I’ll sort it,” he promised.  Chris shook his head. He stumbled back and landed on the bed, “Marc’s going to… he’s going-” “Chris, it doesn’t matter what they’re saying. Calm down, I will sort it, sort all of it.”  “Y-you can’t… I…” His breath began sawing in and out of his chest, the words wouldn’t stop in his head, the abysmal horrified looks of those under his brother’s rule span around his head. They knew… they all knew.    “Chris.” A hand landed heavily on his shoulder shook him bac

Chris sprinted through the forest on four legs, it was much faster progress as a wolf. He knew from his tour where the guards patrolled the border to unclaimed territory and easily slipped through undetected. He kept running as he worked out where was best to go. Human territory was dangerous… but so were wolves not under the Kingdom. ‘Mate could help.’ Chris shook his head, he couldn’t think that way. With a deep breath, he veered a sharp left, passing through the protective barrier. Knowing he was in human land, he quickly transformed, throwing on clothes and running his hand through his hair. He had no idea what to expect. The land looked much like he knew, he was in the middle of a field that looked full of wheat. Pushing his way through, he wondered where he could go. Going to human land wasn’t ever an option, he peered back, it just looked like more field, the only indication of the barrier was a slight ripple. ‘Mate.’ Chris frowned at his wolf, there was something missing in

Chris was beginning to relax with the people around him, the music was starting to not appear as loud as it first had, and the topics of conversation were far from anything he’d experienced before.  Sex seemed on the forefront of the group’s mind, that and ‘their rights’. He wasn’t sure really what they meant by that, but it was enjoyable to listen to. They were currently discussing gendered bathrooms. Like much they said… he didn’t really understand. He gathered males and females had separate bathrooms. He couldn’t work out if they did at home though… that would make for many bathrooms in every house!True… the palace had ample, but would that mean Adelaide wouldn’t be allowed to use his bathroom? Did humans have two bathrooms per couples bedroom?
