Adam carefully dried Edward off with the large deep blue towel that the staff had left them. The spicy sweet fragrance of clove mixed with Edward's already delicious woody scent. He wanted to run his tongue down the valley between his ass cheeks, knowing his skin would taste even better. He gritted his teeth fighting for control of his thoughts though as he passed the towel over his cock instead. He'd delayed too long already. Once Edward was settled in his room he needed to meet with Micheal and the rest of his council to catch everyone up one everything he'd missed in his years away.
Giving Edward's ass one last smack for good measure Alan wrapped the now damp towel around him and quickly scooped Edward back up into his arms. His long bronze hair was still damp, and clung to his chest as he carried Edward from the room.
"I'm beginning to think you would prefer to carry me everywhere as if I were a baby," he said with a chuckle as he wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I just don't want your feet to get dirty," Adam smirked down at his prince. He squeezed one of his round little ass cheeks and he squirmed, protesting with a laugh. Of course, they both knew that he just leapt at any excuse to touch him. To run his hands along his prince's body.
And he eagerly pressed into him.
Adam was suddenly anxious, wondering what he'd think of his home after all it was not a castle. Edward said he loved it here...but that might just mean the bath. Or his cock inside him. He hoped Micheal had kept his rooms clean, had thought to have it refreshed and a fire stoked. For all his enthusiasm he'd still spirited the young price away from the only home he'd ever known.
Coming to his chamber door he kicked it open with his foot and entered, immediately relieved to feel the heat of a fire. Of course Micheal hadn't let him down. A fire roared in the fireplace. The doors to the terrace were thrown open letting in the fresh evening air. Carrying Edward to the large bed against the far wall he dropped him into the pile of fur blankets. He laughed, clutched the towel around him as he collapsed next to Edward, pulling him close again into his chest.
Edward swiveled his head, taking in the room and Adam watched him anxiously. Trying to see it through his new eyes. Furs covered the stone floor. The carved ceiling arched high, jutted out over the terrace that looked out over the valley of his pack below. Only a single table and chair sat against one wall. A few old-but soft-cushions sat in front of the fire. The four poster bed hung with thick burgundy curtains his mother had picked out so long ago.
"I'll get a better table," he said quickly, seeing his eye fall on it.
"You've never shared this room with anyone," Edward said.
He slowly shook his head, "No...not for long anyways."
Edward raised a brow at him, but then continued to survey the room. His eyes fell on a rack of clothes in the corner and he grinned, seeing Micheal had left a few simple outfits for him. Jumping up he hurried to the rack and fingered a few of the dresses, deciding on a dark red velvet one. Turning back to Edward he showed him the dress shirt and simple deer skin pants. "I think this one for dinner tonight"
Edward cocked his head, running his fingers over the soft material. "I've never felt anything so soft," he murmured then lifted the pants to his cheek. His eyes closed happily as he touched the velvety material to his skin and Adam chuckled. His cheek was even more deliciously soft he knew. Gritting his teeth he turned, found himself a clean pair of pants and a loose shirt.
Turning back to Edward, he'd slipped the shirt over his head. Simple buttons made of deer bone ran down the length of the hand sewn shirt The dark red of the shirt only made his bronze hair shine, picking up the shades of crimson in his thick waves. His bright green eyes seemed to sparkle even more brightly in contrast.
Adam gulped, moved to stand over Edward as he adjusted the jeans, still sitting in his bed. Adam ran his fingers over his collarbone, down his strong sleek arms. He wasn't weak or timid as Adam had suspected being raised by humans no not his prince. Edward was strong.. The open shirt showing his bare chest only accentuated the muscles under his skin, the strong shoulders, the coiled tightness of his finely tuned body. "I have to go. I'll have someone bring you some food but I've got to meet with Micheal and my council now."
Edward frowned, caught his palm and pressed it to Adam's cheek. "Can't I come?"
"Not yet. You're too...distracting. I'll be back in a couple hours though."
Edward pulled himself up so he knelt in the bed in front of him, still holding his hand to his lips. His other hand ran up Adam's thigh, rested it against his hip as he looked up to him with those dangerous, wide eyes. "You said I could stay at your side though."
Adam laughed. "So I did,my prince, but for now, you must stay here. You'll be safe. Just make yourself at home, rest. Tonight we'll have a gathering and you will stay at my side the entire time."
Edward's eyes narrowed as he saw he was not going to get his way. He licked his lips and Adam knew Edward planned a new tactic. Adam dropped his head, pulled him into a deep kiss and Edward sighed happily as he molded into him, thinking he'd gotten his way. Grabbing at his waist Adam lifted Edward and tossed him back onto the bed. Edward tumbled back with an squeal.
"Stay," Adam ordered, forcing his mouth into a grim line though a smile pulled at his lips seeing the indignant look on the young prince's face. But he obeyed, crossing his arms and glaring at him from the bed. Adam swore he heard a low growl from Edward as he left the room, locking the door behind him.

Adam swept into his council chamber, pleased to see Micheal had already gathered his lieutenants. She seemed to think of everything, which is why she was his second. He quickly nodded to five gathered Lycans before dropping down onto a low cushion at the head of the long, low table in the room.
Micheal sat on his right and he leaned into her, "Can you have some food sent up for Edward. Only your most trusted girl." He slipped her the key to his chamber with a serious look. She dipped her head, and slipped quickly from the room.
Turning back to his council Adam ran his gaze over the group. They were unchanged in the year he'd been gone. His closest confidents, friends. "Jhon, how is the valley?" he asked the petite golden haired woman at the end of the table.
She smiled brightly, her eyes warming to him, "The same as always Alpha Adam, though I think I've gotten a better rotation going for the crops and the goats, the yield will the highest ever."
Adam glanced to her mate, a serious eyed, dark haired man. "Simon, any news?"
The slight man shook his head slowly, "Everyone is healthy. We had two births this year," seeing Adam's raised brow he laughed, "Yes, I'm a father. Then also Rede and Sam had a daughter not three moons ago."
Adam chuckled as he nodded happily, "I thought you seemed happier than normal Jhon. Congratulations. What name did you settle on?"
The woman grinned at him, "Elsia, and she's perfect."
The large man next to Adam grunted, rolled his eyes. "She's only six moons old. She just cries and shits and eats."
