The Princess and Her Lycan Pirate

some stories and gossip

Outside was the groupe of young people not realising that they were the talk of the office. There were two girls and four boys. Two of the boys were about 18 years old, one was 17 and the fourth one was 13. The girls were both 16 with just a few months between them. Alana was older than Grian. She was breathtaking beautyfull. Her black hair was put up in a neet bun with lots of pearls sticked in and each side of her head two long curls falling down. Her skin was so pale that at night when the moon was out it looked like she was reflecting the moon and shining at night. Her eyes were a deep green with a brown circle in the middle. Her lips were full and of a natual redness. Even so she wasn't fully grown up you could see that she did already outstand all the other girls of her age.

Grian was just as breathtaking. Her caramel skin and hair glowed golden and her deep brown eyes had some golden flecks in them. Her full lips were similar to Alana's and her hair was done in the same style than Alana's but you could see that her natural curls were not happy to be tamed. Looking at the two girls you could think that Grian was like the sun and Alana like the moon. That's what they were called by everybody as well, the sun and the moon. To play a bit with them names, Alana chose light colours to go with her skin tone and Grian would wear golden or dark yellow dresses that brought out her glow the best.

The boys were playfighting while the girls were laughing at them. Markus was the oldest, then there was Conner, Alana's older brother, James, the son of Edward and his mate and the youngest Keegan, Alana's and Conner's little brother. The young men were all tall, well built and had black hair. Conner had short curls, Markus straight long hair like it was modern with the young men at the human king's court and James had curles that were ending just above his shoulders. Keegan looked like a smaller version of Conner. Their skin type was excactly like their dads'.

“Don't you envy them boys, Grian? They can just walk around with their comfortable trousers and loose shirts and whenever they want to go for a run they are very fast and don't have to drag these redicilious amount of layers of cloth with them! We have to call a maid and let her take off our corset with all them stupid undergarments...! Or jump in a lake! Just like that! Even with clothes. We would drown with the amount we are forced to wear!”

Grian laughed out loud and James turned to Alana and said in a husky voice with a smirk: “ Say the word and I help you undress and take you swimming...you don't need a maid.” That earned him even more laughter from the girls and growles from Conner and Keegan who tackled him straight away to the ground. James held his arms up laughed loud and assured the brothers: “I didn't mean anything. That was just bunter!” He winked at Alana and run off the other boys behind him.

The girls took that as a cue, stood up and walked to the house still giggeling about the situation. Grian asked Alana teasingly: “So what would you say if my dear so called brother did make you that offer in real?” Alana blushed “that was only bunter, he said so. Apart from that he is like a cousin to me!” Grian grinned “I see the way he looks at you when he thinks nobody is looking. And I know that you sigh whenever you think nobody sees you looking at him!” Alana blushed even more turned to her cousin and said enquiringly: “Do you think he knows how I feel? I don't even know how I feel. But when he looks at me I feel heat building up in my belly and I am soooo nervous around him. He is for sure the best looking boy around! Oh, why did I tell you that? Promis me you won't tell him! Promis!” Grian started laughing seeing her friend so wound up about her brother's brother. She felt close to him and liked the idea that her cousin had a crush on him and he for sure had one on her!

“Why don't you go for a little walk with him later? Maybe he will show you parts of the garden you haven't seen yet...” Grian said innocently. Alana gasped and looked at her speechlessly. After composing herself she chided Grian “What on earth possessed you to say something indecent as that? I am a princess and I don't do makeout sessions with anybody apart from my husband after I found and married him! And I think he is too much of a gentleman to even consider what you just suggested! You should be ashamed of you Grian of the Southern Shores!”

With that Alana held her head high and continued to walk to the castle. Grian run after her not even a bit impressed about her outburst: “I didn't say you should throw yourself at him. All I'm saying is that he has a very soft spot for you and I bet he is dying to kiss your sweet lips. From the stories I heard about our parents they have done much more before they got married! Espacially your father and my mother's husband! Did you know that your dad had once a harem of 15 she wolves to please him every day and night?” If Alana was shocked before, she was now dying of embarrassment and curiosity. “ How do you know about this? I didn't know and I certainly don't want to know about that! It is enough that I find my parents kissing around the castle all of the time! And worse! But they are my parents! It is disgusting!” “Only because it is them and not James taking you into a dark corner and ravishing you!”

This time Grian run away and left Alana standing there appalled. But she picked herself up again and run after her cousin. “I don't believe this about the harem! My dad wouldn't do something like that to other women!” Grian smiled: “ They weren't imprisioned, Alana. They wanted him badly. I heard it when I was in the library of our mansion. The servants were talking about it and didn't realise I was there. “ Now Alanas interest was awoken. She took her cousin's hand and pulled her on a small path that led to a bench. They sat down and Alana looked at her cousin hungry for gossip. Not caring at all about it being about their parents. It was just too exciting! Grian enjoyed her situation as well. She loved talking secretive to her cousin.” Well, that was not all. They said, that your father had to fight the she wolves off! But only after he had his wolf. Before that he tried very hard but no woman looked at him! And that is why he then became a men w***e!” Alana didn't like hearing that about her father but it was a bit similar with her oldest brother Conner. Since he had his wolf the servant girls were arguing who was serving him, bringing him breakfast or making his bed. Now she started to understand why. “ ugh! That is so gross! And what about my uncle?” Grian grinned even more. “ Excactly the same! The only difference is that he was using your dad's harem as well and they were even very popular in the human world! Believe it or not but together they were in every single bed of every debutant girl when they went to the human saison one time! Of course not at the same time. They made a schedule and visited the girls on different dates! It was so bad that the human king forbade them to ever anticipate again and they were bunished from the human king's court for quiet some time!” Both girls were laughing their heads off. Alana was the first to find her composure. “Our poor mothers! That is what I call being thrown to the wolves!” Grian looked coy at Alana and Alana asked in disbelieve:” You can't tell me that our mothers were behaving like that as well!” Grian waited a bit with her answer “No, they were still virgins when they met their husbands. But there were several guards and noble men that were said to have taken their own lives because they were so deep in love with them but were hunted away by our grandfather and uncles.” Alana found a mistake “Don't you think we would have heard about that if there were so many dead because of our mothers?” Grian thought about that for a bit “You might be right. Maybe we should take the whole gossip thing with a pinch of salt! Let's go to our mothers and have some sandwiches, I'm starving!” “Good idea, me to.”

While walking back to the castle again Grian took her cousin by her waste and whispered: “My point was James is not like them. He never looked at any servant girl and moon goddess they tried! He will respect you and a kiss won't hurt!”

Before Alana could react the boys jumped out of the bushes and surrounded the two girls. “What were you whispering about?” Markus asked with a grin. Alana turned deep red and clamped to Grian's arm for help. “Nothing about you, boys, we were actually talking about men!” Grian said triumphing. James walked a bit closer to Alana and asked with a shaky voice: “So who were you talking about? Who was it that makes Alana blush like this?” Grian was all in protection mood now. She wouldn't get her cousin embarrassed by them boys! “What is it to you, James? I don't like that tone! Are you jealous? “ Now it was James who blushed. “If you really must know, I told our dear innocent cousin about her dad's harem!”

The reaction that came was priceless! Alanas grip on her cousin got more intense showing Grian that she was dying of shame. Conner and Keegan exchanged a knowing look and Markus started grinning, probably thinking about starting his own harem very soon. James however took Alana's hand into his and scolded Grian “You shouldn't have told her that! It was ages ago. Before any of us were born or even planned! Alana, believe me, not all men are like that!” Grian took that opportunity and guided the other boys back to the castle saying something of her starving and getting some sandwiches for everybody. Keegan wasn't so keen on leaving his sister alone but a friendly nodge from his older brother put him on the right track.

Alana didn't like that at all. She felt like left alone to die of shyness. He held still her hand. Slowly he lifted her chin, looked deep into her eyes and moved his head towards her, leaning in for a kiss. Alana's heart was nearly jumping out the corset, she stopped breathing, the world around them stood still and all she could think of were these mesmerising eyes that came closer and closer. She just got ready for the impact when she heard her father's voice shouting from the office window: “ Alana! Inside now! The sandwiches are getting cold!”

With no regard for James she picked up the front of her dress and run towards the castle as quickly as she could.

Upstaires in the office Edward was laughing at his friend:” The sandwiches are getting cold?” Conall looked a bit sheepish: “That was the first thing that came to me! You saw that they were about to kiss! I had to do something!” Edward put his hand on Conall's shoulder “I suggest you stay here for the human season and I take her with your lovely wife and Conner. James won't be going he is still too young, you have my word. Amena, Conner, Markus and I should be enough to keep your princess safe! I fear if you was coming too, there was a blood bath. And I would like Alana to enjoy her season. We will all be staying in my townhouse and Amena can take Alana from there to all the balls, the opera and the soirées.” “I thought we were only talking about that stupid deputant ball! Now suddently you want my daughter to stroll around the whole season!” Edward appeased his friend: “ I was thinking about her too. Just let the girl have fun! All she will do is dancing, look gourgeous and have a good time. Give her that bit. In two years time she will have her wolf and go to every single mating ball till she finds her mate. For me, the human balls are just more fun! We can smell every emotion before they even know they have them! Do you remember our first season?” “That is excactly what I am doing! And I don't want any whippersnapper trying to get her into bed!” Edward smiked:” You are just angry because I am allowed back at court because I have proven to the human king that I can keep it in my trousers. You my dear friend are not allowed back to court because you managed to land in the young queen's bed! You are so lucky that only him and I know about that! I was able persuade him not to have you killed because it would show that his beloved queen cheated on him. So show a bit of gratitude and let your daughter go under my protection.” Conall took the bottle of Whisky and poored them some more. “ As if I'm in charge! I'm quiet sure her mother has ordered the dressmaker already!” And with the clink of their glasses the two men started talking about the pirates.
