Chapter 25
The princey on his bed in his room, it was gettingte and still no one came in. He was getting
hungry, he gave a sigh at his difort. He got up to bang on his door again when he heard the most
painful howl, he knew in an instant that it was his father.
Good, he thought. At least he wasn’t the only unhappy wolf in this castle. Still that howl made him feel
worried. What was going to happen to him, what kind of punishment was he going to inflict on him. His
wolf let out a whimper inside him and then went silent again.
Just as he was about to bang on the door again, two guards came in with a tray. They sat it on the floor
and locked the door again. When the prince lifted the lid covering the food he grimaced. It was two
slices of in bread and a cup of water. That was when he had a feeling things are going to be worse
than he originally thought they would be.
Still though he won’t be treated like the others that get caught, there won’t be a public trial or
punishment for him. It will all be done under the table, so as to save face for the royal family That was
always his ace in the hole. He would get into trouble he would y the Royal card,
either buy his way out or intimidate them into silence
Well if his Dad found hisptop and his financial records then as the King he would be pissed. Which
means that the Elder council has also seen all the evidence. Shit, I am screwed this time. Better get
used to the horse faced princess, he has a feeling that his days of fun are over. 2
They will have a big fancy Royal wedding to distract the people about their prince’s dirty deeds. He will
get married and will have to start a family as soon as possible, while he is being watched day and
night.
As far as the ns on hisptop to kill his father, he will just say he was thinking about writing a book
about a king killer. He would never hurt his father how could they think such a thing…….. The Prince
startedughing and couldn’t stop.
Marco and two of his most trusted hunters were waiting at the spy’s meeting ce. Marco had already
put Nn in the dungeon, he then had Nn text the spy saying that he had more information for him
and to meet at their normal
snat
The fact that this wolf called himself a spy was a joke. They could hear him a mile away and he stunk
of drugs, sweat and sex. It was enough to make all three of them want to puke. Marco decided that the
first thing this guy was gonna get in the dungeon, was a much need bath, well sorta like a bath anyway.
When the spy reached the meeting spot, they all surrounded him. The spy was surprised at their
presence, geesh what an idiot. The were not even really hiding from him. What kind of wolves do they
have at that pack.
They threw him on his stomach, bound his feet to his hands and a rope around all of it and proceeded
to drag him out of the woods on his stomach. When the little girl screaming got too much they stopped
long enough to gag him.
They decided to drag him because not one of them wanted that stench close to them. Perhaps some
dirt and leaves from the forest floor will help to improve his smell.
The King woke up in a bunch of soft nkets on a floor, who’s floor? There was soft morning light
blossoms everywhere, it wasing from
outside.
“If you are awake your highness there are clothes for you on the bed, please put them on and join me
for some breakfast.”
Normally he would be a little put out if someone ordered him around but this voice was soft and it was
more like a request than an order. He put on his clothes and stopped for a minute. He didn’t remember
the night before, he ummm didn’t sleep with someone, did he?”
His wolf started tough something he hasn’t heard in a long time. “No we did not sleep with someone
He went out on the balcony and there at a table was a lovely young shewolf, then it dawned on him,
even though he had yet to meet her, this had to be Duncan’s Luna, Adira who was once named Spare.
He sat down and just looked out at the gardens, his heart still heavy. She handed him a cup of tea and
served him a te of food. It was pancakes, sausages with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs. It
smelled heavenly.
When he tasted them he was surprised. they were wonderful,tely his doctor has been
giving the cook instructions and his food has been a littlecking.
“This is wonderful, Luna Adira.”
“Thank you, I asked your cook for the use of her kitchen so I could make you breakfast.”
“I know you have some serious and terrible choices to make today, I also felt that for just this little bit in
time, that you could just be you and rx. I know that is hard and that this timing might be off, I don’t
think so though. I think this is what you need, to get back your strength.”
“What is it you think I need, some really good food? To make all this better?”
“No, your highness. You need to feel again, feel the sunshine on your face, the smell of the blossoms in
the air and yes the taste of good food. I suspect that you have not allowed yourself even the simplest of
pleasures for a very long time.”
“Once everything happens today, the world will be dark again. I want you to remember this moment
and what I tell you.”
“Oh, and what might that be? Just be happy, dance around and chase rainbows?”
“No your highness, all I ask of you is to remember to just breathe.”
He looked at Adira speechless as tears formed in his eyes, “how did you know?
She looked at him with a look that said she didn’t understand.
“Those were the same words my mate spoke to me before she left this world to be with the Goddess.”
“When things for me got really bad or I was starving as a young pup, I would cling to those words, I
would tell myself, Just breathe Spare, just breathe you know things will work out and I would go on.”
The King stared at her and then said…
“How in all that is good and holy, did that dark shit hole of a pack ever give way to such a bright and
beautiful light.?”
They sat there in happy silence and sunshine, as the King and his Wolf prepared themselves for what
was toe.
Before he left, she stopped him. “Your Highness do your heart some good, don’t handle matters today
alone. Let this burden be carried by more
than just you alone. Tonight you dine for thest time with your son and then tomorrow he will face the
council alone for judgement.
“Don’t discuss anything that has anything to do with this trial, just for thisst time be father and son. It
won’t be easy but if you manage to do it you will not regret it.”
Once the King had left, Duncan came in and sat down where the King just was sitting. He looked at
Adira in wonder.
“Do you know what the King just told me in the hallway?”
“He took me by the shoulders and said that if I ever miss treat you or make you cry. He wille
himself personally to beat the living shit right out of me. Then he is going to take you back here and
make you his queen.”
“Then he said that we are now family, that you are to be called Lady Adira the Luna of Storm Crow
Moon pack and of Crystal Moon Pack, it is the Kings birth pack. Our pup’s will be his grandchildren. Not
only in name but in an officialpacity. He said he wants at least six.” 2
What did you two discuss in here anyway? Whatever it was must of been epic.”
“Duncan we didn’t discuss anything other than the truth.”
Duncan went over to her and knelt down on one knee in front of her, I wanted to do this as soon as we
got here, out in the gardens but things happened.
“Will you, Adira Spare Williams MacPatton be not only my Mate but also be my Wife?”
He opened up a little blue box, inside there was a gold ring, in the center of the band were two hearts
holding a diamond in the middle of them. Like the love that their hearts share, brilliant and bright.
She jumped into his arms knocking him on the floor and started to kiss his face frantically while giggling
at the same time saying “Yes” over and over in between kisses.
Things quickly became heated and they both lost there sense of time and space. Duncan made love to
his Lady right there on the balcony floor in the spot light of the sun.
Everyone in the gardens and that side of the castle heard their joyous cries of pleasure.
