Adam's cock was annoyed. He felt ready to burst with need for Edward as he now was tucked so perfectly against him. Edward's round firm ass pressed into his swollen cocked, teased him. But he knew he still needed to be patient. He'd given his prince a taste of what his life would be. Of what he could stir within him. Though Edward's mind still wanted to fight him, his body now lay soft and yielding against him as he recovered his breath.
Adam stood, picking him up smoothly and pressing him into his chest. He whimpered but his hands clung to Adam's arm as he made his way back to their camp. He couldn't help giving the boy's ass a few squeezes as he carried him, happy when he didn't try to jerk away, instead he just tightened his grip on Adam's arm. He wanted to hum with delight. All his searching had been worth it.
He set Edward down gently on the thick fur blanket, pulled another blanket up around his shoulders as he curled into himself, wide eyes watching him warily. It was then he noticed the abrasions on Edward's hands, on his knees from when he'd fallen. Adam tsked, picked up a towel and moistened it with a bit of warm water from the pot by the fire.
Adam sat next to him, met his eye, "Your hands. Do they hurt?"
He blinked in confusion, then looked down at his palms. "A little," he finally shrugged.
Adam reached carefully for Edward, took one of his hands in his and tenderly wiped at the blood. Adam glanced to his face, saw him grit his teeth against the sting. He grimaced an apology.
"You were a wolf," The prince said abruptly.
He chuckled, met his eye. "I suppose."
"That was real? Are you some kind of wizard? A demon?"
He nodded, "It was real and no I am not a wizard or a demon"
"It wasn't some magic trick?" Edward asked. Adam gently set his hand back down, picked up the other to clean.
"No. That's my true form. I'm a were wolf, Edward and so are you"
"BUT I'm not ... you have the wrong person ... "
He looked back to his face and his heart flipped as he watched Edward's eyes scan up and down his body. He met his gaze and flushed, seeing that he'd caught Edward examining him.
"Are you going to rape me?"
"Don't you think if I was going to I would have just now..... I wont force you."
"Are you going to kill me?" he asked.
He barked a laugh. "Of course not. You're my mate."
Edward jerked, tried pull his hand from Adam's but he held on tight, ignoring his attempts as he continued to gently clean his wound.
"Your mate!?" he snapped.
"Yes. Though, I didn't know until I smelled you. I thought I was just repaying a debt tracking you down."
He could feel Edward tensing, sensed his rising confusion and annoyance. "Why? What debt?"
Adam shrugged, finally met his eyes again as he sat back. He supposed it was past due, explaining who he was.
"How much do you know of your real family ... your mother and father?"
"I am the prince... my father is the king my mother the queen I have a twin sister and an older brother ... why?"
Adam held Edward's hand gently.
"The king and queen are not your REAL parents We were not told who your mother was ... just that she was not a wolf"
"I don't understand..... " Edward's eyes were shiny with unshed tears his whole world was about to come crashing down.
"I knew your father. Your true father not the King who they told you was your father ..... Your father saved my father's life, long, long ago. When he was dying, some eighteen years ago, his last words were to ask me to find his children. A girl and a boy ... twins. ...he'd sired with a non-wolf. He wanted me to find them, bring them into my pack to protect them. So I've been looking for you ever since. It wasn't until I finally caught your scent that I realized who you would be to me."
"I don't understand"
