The Princess and Her Lycan Pirate

father and son talk

Adonis stiffened and said calmly: “You broke her heart last night! All I'm doing is comforting her.”

He heard the usual cracking of bones and a naked James walked out of the bushes in front of them. He dind't care that he was naked, he was pissed and slightly intoxicated as Markus and Conell forced him to change back and drink with them in the middle of the woods. Adonis looked at him and suddently smirked “If I was you, I would have a proper wash and put some clothes on. Thank the moon goddess that the girls are asleep otherwise they would have seen the love bites all over your body!”

That reminded James that there wasn't only booze waiting in the woods but a few very naughty and hot she wolves that weren't looking for mates but for fun. He gave Adonis a death stare and walked slowly into the mansion to have a wash and get dressed.

The water in the bath was hot and helped him to relax. Everything that had happened last night went through his head again and as a reaction to that he sunk with his head under the water. He didn't want to think about it any more! He didn't want to see Alana or Grian at the moment. All he wanted to do was to run away as far as he could.

Once he surfaced again he saw his father standing next to his bath tub. Without a word he passed him the soap. James took it and started washing. After a while Edward started: “Are you sure our princess isn't your mate?” James sat back down and started pouring water over himself. Then he asked for a towel and looked at his father with sadness: “Yes, I'm pretty sure!” - “Maybe your wolf is just tricking you because you was so sure and he is a bit angry that you haven't waited for his advice.” James threw the towel over a chair and started to get dressed. “I'm sure that she is not my mate because my mate was present as well!”

Edward was surprised because there were no other girls of his status and power and normally this was ballanced in mates. His Ginessa and him were an exception and he sincerely hoped that none of his sons had to mate with a servant girl! (Snop, I know)

But James didn't stop: “I want to go away! Travel, go and see the world! Maybe I could try to become one of the pirates that bother you and get information about them!”

This was too fast for Edward. “Why do you suddently want to travel? And becoming a pirate of all! Your mother will deny herself to me now for a few months if I let you do that!” James didn't take that well.

“That's right father! Just think with your d**k as usual!” - “How dare you! I am your father and what your mother and I have is pure! It is only natural that we can't keep our hands off each other!” But these words only increased James' rage “If you hadn't seen Eilidh and thought with your d**k 'Oh, she is an impressive and beautiful lycan wolf I better take her to bed and f**k her really well' then I wouldn't be in this position!”

Now it was Edward who was raging “What has Eilidh to with all of this? Your mother and I are happy together and that Eilidh lives with us doesn't disturb us at all! I ask you again what has my past to do with your wish to get yourself killed?”

“Because, my dear father, I am not mated to the moon, I am mated to the sun!” Edward stumbled backwards trying to understand his sons' words. “That's right, my dear father, I am mated to your wife's child with Bran! We are not blood related so it makes perfect sence! If only I hadn't seen her growing up, calling her my sister! There is no way that I can ever touch her! Anyway, I need space to think, to breathe. That's why I think the pirates are a good choice! I heard the human king's men have captured one. Maybe I can help him escape and become one of them. Humans are a bit gullible.”

It had finally sunk into Edward's brain, but he didn't know wheter he liked it or not.

“James, son, let's talk about this mate thing calmly. Grian is a really nice girl and actually she is a good catch! A healer's daughter and a lycan pure blood! You are actually really lucky!”

“Haven't you listen to a word I said? She is my brother's sister! I grew up calling her my sister! As long as I remember she was always there!” Edward made an impatient movement with his hand. “You could say excactly the same about you and Alana! You all grew up together! That is only nonesense!”

“Is it? I have always known that Alana was not a blood relative of mine! She is the princess of all Lycans and werewolves! You whispered into my ear all the time, that we were not related and that she was the most beautiful girl on earth and that she would be mine one day! So I grew up loving her! And you know what? I still love her! One day I will make her mine! I will find out who her mate is before she even knows and then I will hunt him down and kill him!”

Edward wasn't shocked about his son's outburst. He was right. Since James was a little boy he had told him that the princess was his one day. In his eyes that was the only possibility because Lycans were really rare. And to be one as powerfull as the princess was even rarer. Apart from James, there was only one other man he could recall to be an unmated Lycan and that said Lycan was ruling over an island groupe in the middle of the ocean and over 200 years old! It was said that his mate had died long ago and he had lost the taste of life.

So James was the only available option as a suitable husband for the princess. Nobody could blame him! His intentions were good.

“Son, James, I can understand your pain and I am truly sorry for causing you all this pain, but killing her mate would only destroy her! The only thing you could do was to make him reject her! And that is impossible! Who with his right mind would reject the princess of all lycans and werewolves especially when she is as beautifull as Alana!”

James turned around and looked at his father with hope in his eyes. “That would work?” Edward nodded his head slowly “If he rejects her it will hurt her a lot but it is still better than him dying!” He sighed. “Listen, son. I can only try to understand what you are going trough. At the end of the day she is still the princess of all lycans and werewolves. You can't just hunt down her mate and make him reject her! Have you actually looked at her? No man in his right mind would reject her!” James thought about that for a little while. “'And if she rejects him?” Edward took a deep breath. “That would actually work better! But is that really what you want? Causing her pain? She could end up crying after him for the rest of her life!” Suddently a smile appeared on James' lips. “She won't! I will be there, by her side and shield her from everything evil!”

“And Grian?” James' face turned serious again: “That is why I have to go away! Seeing her outside in the arms of this human nearly made me forget myself. Is it possible to love two she wolves?” Edward smiled about his son's innocents. “Before I met Eilidh I was a wild one. Believe me, the women were quiet taken with me and Conell.” A smile of rememberance crossed his face. James wasn't so patient. “We all know the stories, father! Sorry, but I don't want to hear about your adventures of the human bed chambers!”

Edward's smile even grew bigger. “I didn't want to talk about that. All I wanted to tell you, that when I saw Eilidh for the first time, I was sort of in love with her!” James looked at his father in shock! “What about my mother?” Edward made his son a sign to sit down and sat next to him. “First things first! I was in love with Eilidh. I stopped all affairs immediatelly! I had to court her for two years before she accepted me as her chosen mate! Two years of no woman, no she wolf! Just me on my knees asking for her hand in marriage. I admit, the main reason was so she could give me a suitable heir. But you know all that! When she finally said yes I was the happiest man alive! Believe me, I loved her. Otherwise I wasn't able to wait that long! She got pregnant with your brother quiet quickly and we were both happy. And then, one day, I was walking in the human town and suddently smelled the most intoxicating scent! It was like pure vanilla! I followed the scent and found a servant girl going into one of my human friend's house. As soon as she could catch my scent as well she turned around and run towards me! This girl was of course your mother. Without hesitation I took her home and showed her to Eilidh. She was brilliant! I could never have asked for a more understanding mate! She rejected me straight away so I could be with your mother! And as you know, with chosen mates a rejection doesn't hurt. I did the same at once and we smiled at each other. Your mother was jealous for about five minutes till she understood the situation. Eilidh gave me my freedom back and I gave it to your mother in the same minute. But, you have to understand, as a servant girl I could never ever have her next to me sitting at the human King's table! And she didn't want that neither! She kept saying she was a simple girl and didn't want to pretend to be a Lady. We never talked about it, but that Eilidh stayed my married wife and your mother became my lover and mate was to us the most natural thing to do. The humans only thought that I went back to my old ways with a servant lover and you know what, your mother enjoyed it a lot! Acting like my dirty little secret!” he chuckeled.

“Ginessa and Eilidh actually grew very close and then your mother got pregnant with you! My happyness was made! Eilidh might be not my mate and the last time I touched her in a lustfull way was the night before I met your mother, but deep down I still love her somehow! Not the way I love your mother but still the feeling is there.

So I do understand you a bit. But I have to warn you! If you reject Grian, you and her could be unable to love again till you find your second chance mate, if you ever get one! If you go after Alana and don't reject Grian, she will feel it and slowly die! What ever you do, be carefull and think about it for a bit before making a decision! Going away is probably just what you need right now. Why don't you come with us to the human town and let some steam off before you do anything you might regret! I have not only our town house, I own a few other properties in the human town as well. You wouldn't have to see Alana at all! So if you are ok with that, I will make arrangements and you could go today.”

James was greatfull for his father's understanding and he was a bit surprised about his father's confession that he still had feelings for Eilidh. What would his mother say if she knew? But when he continued thinking about it he realised that she probably knew and just didn't mind as long as he stayed away from Eilidh.

He finished his last buttons on his shirt and his father took him by the arm and said with a knowing look: “Let's go downstairs for breakfast! You must be starving after all that changing and fighting off horny she wolves!” He opened the door and they both stepped out. James let out a loud laugh: “When Markus and Connor were talking about it I never thought in a million years that they could be right and it is really interesting what she wolves can do with their mouthes!”

The next thing he saw in the corridor was two shocked girls that just met him with disbelief. Alana took Grian's hand and pulled her into the direction of her room. The only one smiling now was Adonis who was walking just behind them.

Oh moon goddes how much James hated that guy!
