A Long Time Ago....

I returned to Ironside as my father requested my presence since we learned that Roman had ambushed Alpha Aidan and killed him along with his Gamma and Delta. I was shocked by the news as it ripped through Ravena and many of us were shocked, he was one of my father's allies. Ironside was not a big territory, but we held our own, some of the deadliest shifters lived among us, and there were lions, tigers, bears, and panthers. We also had skinwalkers who could shift into anything in Ravena to blend in and those were the deadliest. However, it was hard to change into a Royal because Royal Marks were unique to each royal family, my father had been king long before Aidan was born, and he was one of the closest allies to his father, King Ivar. Aidan and I go way back, and although we weren't close for a while, we respected each other and I would never have betrayed his loyalty in any way.
My family was well respected and my father had been in a meeting with King Barron about separating their territory from ours, as the bears were growing in numbers and wanted their own. My father agreed and was going over the specifics, they wanted me to take Princess Polly's hand in marriage at one point, but I was gay as they came, unknown to my father. I have a younger brother and two sisters, my brother, Lucas, always ended up in trouble with people, and my father would save his ass. Sometimes I, depending on what it was, would help him, but he was a problem for the family, but my father loved us all. My father told me of what Lady Addison did in trying to save Aidan, Ty, and Drax from their fate, but we will have to wait and see if her spell worked. I was sitting under a tree watching the sunset when Lucas sat beside me and said, "I need help with something."
I sighed and asked, "What did you do now?" He said, "I didn't do anything, I swear, but I need a few extra coins, I have a debt to pay." I looked at him and said, "You are a f**k up, when will it end, Luke?" He smiled and said, "It's Lord Bishop's daughter," I looked at him and asked, "What did you do, Luke, she is a mated woman?" He said, "I didn't know until after we f****d around, she is pregnant, and I need to get her the money to get rid of it," I said, "Fine but if this comes out, Dad won't have to kill you," I give him my bag of coins from my pocket. Lucas ran off, and I stood by the tree watching the sunset, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at Rico and he smiled. He sat next to me, handed me a sandwich, and we stayed silent together until it was dark, he rubbed his hand on my leg and I said, "I miss you."
He said, "I miss you too," he was one of the Generals in my father's army, and we were having a secret love affair, we fell in love when we first started training together. He recently returned from Dragonmare on business for my father, the dragons were secretive, but they were good allies to have, and I know Roman would want that alliance. He said, "I heard about what King Roman did to Aidan and the others, I am sorry, I knew you were friends," I kissed his lips, shutting him up because it hurt that I wasn't there to help Aidan. But, it was fate and no one knew the truth, but who was privy to that information, I thanked him for being considerate of my feelings. Rico placed his hand in my pants and stroked my semi-hard d**k, I moaned and stopped him, saying, "Not here, we might get caught," so we got up and headed to his cabin not far from the training grounds.
The room was dimly lit, and we started kissing again, we slowly undressed each other and I looked into Rico's brown eyes, admiring how beautiful they were. We both stood naked looking at each other before Rico knelt and took my c**k into his mouth, he moaned, and I joined him, feeling this warm mouth on my shaft. Rico never disappoints with his amazing blow jobs as I grabbed his hair and thrust my c**k down his throat, I could feel my release approaching, and he kept going until I spilled my c*m down his throat. I returned the favor, and then we ended up on the bed, he kissed my chest and sucked on my n*****s, something I love, it turns me on, and my c**k was painfully hard again, ready to go. Rico bent over, and I thrust into his sweet hole going in and out of him, our moans got louder in the room as our bodies collided, making slapping sounds echoing in the room.
I wanted to mark him as mine, but I could not because no one would accept us, and I was training to take over as King, Rico grabbed the sheets in delight and yelled, "Yes, f**k, I'm cumming." I held his waist in place, pounding into him, wanting to make him c*m as much as I wanted to c*m again, the bed creaked loudly, and he started stroking his c**k, meeting my thrusts. I saw that he was on the verge of cuming and I kept thrusting at a steady pace, feeling my release approaching. I was going balls deep and we both tensed up as he cummed on the sheets and I emptied my c*m into his sweet hole. We collapsed on the bed beside each other, breathing heavily, he said, "I see that you really miss me, Your Highness." I turned to him, and kissed his lips, admitting I had missed him again. We laughed and cuddled in bed until the sun hit my face and I realized I had slept in his cabin.

Many Years Later
My father summoned me to this throne room, I went there and saw one of King Barron's men, he informed us of Princess Polly's situation and wanted help getting her back. My father did not hesitate to send men to help as Roman was a pain in everyone's side, but kidnapping Princess Polly would make Barron kill him before Aidan could wake up to take revenge. My father would always help Barron and so would I, Rico mind-linked me and told me to be careful on my trip to Volterra to meet up with Queen Marion. I smile because he still cares about me and, one day, I will be free to be with him without judgment, I hate that we had to be with each other privately. I walked back to my quarter hoping they would find Polly soon, I saw Lucas with a bottle of our father's fine brew in his hand and he was getting drunk, I took the bottle away, and he said, "I have a son."

Two Weeks Later
Rico
I have been in Bearmore helping with the rescuing of Princess Polly along with a few of my men, I miss Lear, but he would be fine until I returned. We got word to head out, and we ran among the bears ready to kill those wolves who dared to take the Princess, King Barron, and Prince Clarke were in war mode and I could understand their hatred for King Roman. King Emile of Elvira was there with us, and he was ready for war, from what I understood, his brother was betrothed to Princess Polly. We reached our destination and my men did not disappoint in getting the wolves to surrender until we got word to kill them all, I heard a roar and saw Prince Clarke with Polly on his back, and we escorted him back to Bearmore right on their heels, from what we knew, Roman assaulted her to get information on their clan and Barron wanted his head.
Two days later, I arrived home and my men went to rest and recuperate, I cleaned up and headed back to the Palace to learn Lear was not back from his trip, and I was worried. I kept myself busy until it was late in the night, I was about to go to bed when I heard a knock on the door and I answered, it was Lear. I let him in and hugged him, feeling his calming aura, my heart skipped a beat because I was in love with him, and he pulled back looking into my eyes and kissed me. He said, "My father wanted me to mate a witch, that's why I went to Volterra," I pulled back, and he said, "I should have told you, but I wouldn't do it, I couldn't do it, Rico, I love you too much." I hugged him again because I knew what this meant, he would never be King, and I was okay with that as long as we were together, we ended up making love to each other and fell asleep wrapped up in the sheets until morning.
