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"
"I guess I should tell you all the story about your father.
His name was Duke he was the Alpha of our pack before my father. He fell in love with a human and since she had no wolf blood he could not bring her to the pack. So instead he left the pack and went to her and a few years later you and your sister were born. Your father told me he was hunting for food in his wolf form when two hunter's from town spotted him. One knew of our kind and shot him in the leg. Your father had one ice blue eye and one as green as yours due to an injury when he was young. Well he made it home that night and his human dressed the wounds and he started the healing process but the next day they took you and your sister to town and the same hunter bumped into your father seeing his eyes he told the whole town what he was. Well that night the village burned your family from their home killing your mother.. Your father was badly injured and weak so he put you two on the castle doorsteps where the queen adopted you and he made his way to me so I could find you, I'm sorry I don't know more."
Edward gaped at him, slowly shook his head. "No. You have the wrong person. I know my parents. And if it WERE true why not bring my sister too!!!
He laughed. " When your father stumbled into my camp he told me the story .....I did not understand how he could allow sheep to raise a wolf. As for your sister my brother David is charged with her safety"
Edward tried to scoot away from him across the blanket, but found himself hopelessly tangled and unable to move more than a few inches. "You're lying."
He cocked his head. "Why would I do that?"
"I'm not like you. I can't change into a fucking monster."
He frowned. "The human blood in you prevented it." He motioned to his shoulder, "I fixed that though. My bite is awakening your true self. You WILL turn into a fucking monster, soon."
His hand moved to the bite, eyes still wide and unbelieving. "You're lying," Edward whispered.
Adam stood, annoyance growing in him. He grabbed up his breeches and began dressing quickly. "We'll see I suppose. The full moon is tomorrow night."
"You're lying!" he screamed at Adam as he clutched the fur blanket tighter around his bare shoulders.
Anger rippled through him and he crouched in front of his prince, grabbed Edward's chin in his hand to force him to meet his eye. "Your body knows I'm not and more than that your spirit KNOWS."

Adam tossed him one of the shirts that he had stolen from the village. Edward pulled the soft cotton tunic over his head and it fell nearly to his knees. He gritted his teeth, trying to ignore the sudden ache his scent elicited. Curling back down on the soft fur blanket Edward watched Adam move around the small camp. Was he...preparing dinner? He wanted to laugh at the absurdity. This man-wolf creature was acting like this was the most normal evening of his life. He was actually humming as he stirred at the pot on the fire.
"Where did you get the food... the pot... the blankets. I didn't see them before" He looked around the camp.. A tent, cloths on the line...
