Prince Justus and the Rogue

Justus POV

"Yeah, about that. If you continue to go that route and follow after her I can not in good conscience give you the crown. Your coronation is in four days. I will give you two to think it over." My father says sternly.

My blood is boiling right now. "I can not do this with you right now." I walk out of the office unsure if I will ever return.

I mindlink Elim, Jackin, and Mack and tell them to meet me in the royal room at the infirmary. When I get to the infirmary I am happy to see that my mate is awake and eating some pudding. "Hey, how are you doing?" I slide onto a chair next to her.

"I am still a little weak but I am okay. The doctor here is really nice and said I should be able to be released tomorrow. Did you get Mr Taker and Chef Hann out too?" She puts the dish aside and lays back down sideways on her cot.

"Yes we have got them out as well and they are both being released tomorrow too." I smile down at her as I push some hair away from falling in front of her face. "So, what can I get for you? Do you need food, a book to read, a good foot massage?" She giggled at my last suggestion and it was the most angelic sound that I have ever heard. She smiled so big that it made my heart swell two sizes.

"There is something serious that I wanted to talk to you about and if you are not ready for this it is okay just be honest with me. I know we are mates and I think you know it also." I pause for a moment and she nods her head for me to continue. "Ever since you were taken and at first I could not find you and I did not know where you were at then if I had not come in at the right time who knows what might have happened I have been thinking of ways we could communicate our whereabouts to each other. Well I was thinking that maybe we should consider me marking you. Then, I can at least know if you are in danger, if you are hurt or in pain, and if you need help. What are your thoughts?" I am literally holding my breath waiting for her to answer.

"I think I understand where you are coming from and I do believe that we are mates." She paused for a moment. "After some consideration I will agree with you marking me." Grey, my wolf, starts jumping up and down in my brain. She and I need to communicate more.

I lean over her neck where I am supposed to mark her and push her hair out of the way. She bends her neck in the other direction in a sign of submission and also to grant me better access. I place a couple of small kisses around the area that I'm going to mark her in so she knows where it's going to happen. Then I start to suck on the skin a little as my canines protrude. I sink them deep into her marking spot, sucking just a little. When I feel her go limp in my arms I pull my canines back and I lick up the extra blood left on her neck, closing up the wound. I slowly lay her back down onto her cot. She seems to flinch a little when her back touches the cot but then she relaxes. Just then the guys walked in. "Hey, how's your girl?" Emil asked, trying to peek over my shoulder to see Gracia.

"Little mate, I need to step out for a moment and talk to the guys but I'll be right back. Sweet dreams little mate." I bend down and kiss her on the top of the head.

I lead the guys outside to a couple of vacant benches inside a small garden. "Listen, my parents are making me choose between Gracia and the crown." "Whoa that shit isn't cool man." Mack said, sitting up straight.

"No it's not. They've given me two days to make my decision but I've already made it. I'm choosing Gracia. She and I will just become rogues and learn to live on our own. But love can make anything happen. I have faith in us. But I wanted to let you guys know before rumors started and you guys heard things that weren't true. So you're hearing the truth from me now." I stand up and offer my hand out to Emil. "Emil, you've been my best friend since as long as I can remember. I'm going to miss you like everything."

"What the fuck man!" Emil slaps my hand away. "You're going off on some crazy love adventure and you're not taking us with you. We're your beta, gamma, and delta. We go everywhere you go. We'll fight with you, we'll live with you, and we'll die with you. Brothers to the bone. That's our code, remember? Or have you become so all in love that you forgot?" By the time Emil gets done he's practically in my face and shouting. It takes a lot to get him this emotionally angry. "Okay, calm down Emil! I never said you guys can't come with us. I just didn't feel it was right to ask you three to break ties with your families and become rogues. This isn't going to be an easy life all of the time. I just couldn't ask that of you. But of course you can come along as long as you know what you're really signing up for." I can't believe these guys. I must have the three best friends in the whole world.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"We want to go." All three said in unison. I've never been able to figure out how they've always been able to answer in unison like that.

"Besides, it's not like any of us have mates. Maybe we'll find mates along the way." Mack points out.

"Alright. Now I just need to talk with my parents." I give them a halfhearted smile.

"Wait, what about Gracia?" I don't want to tell her until she's back to her full health and everything is set into place. There's no reason to tell her now.

So, we all split up to go tell our individual families what our plans are. I wonder how their families are going to take it. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in each of their common rooms. I wait a few minutes as I lean against the wall outside my father's office and I hear furniture breaking up on the beta's floor. My dad's gamma runs down the steps and into my dad's office after giving me a hard glare. Then Mack's dad, my dad's delta comes strolling out of his office with his arm around Mack and they're talking energetically. With werewolf hearing I can pick up their conversation and they're talking about territories we should visit versus ones we should steer clear from, what he should be packing, and all the great she-wolf pussy he's going to get. Now why can't all dads be like him. Why can't my dad be more like that? Just as I was thinking that another loud crash comes from the beta's floor and then my dad's beta comes barrelling down the steps almost knocking Mack and his dad over. The beta stops to look at me and I can almost see the smoke coming out of his ears. I know he wants to say something to me but he also doesn't want to cross his boundaries so he just stomps over to my dad's office and walks in. So, I turn my attention to the yelling coming from my dad's office. I can hear rogue she-wolf pussy repeated several times, kitchen help, rogues repeated several times, pussy adventure, love sick, pulling my son in, and ruined lives. Then I see Emil and Jackin walking down the stairs both scratching the back of their heads talking about the reaction of their fathers.

I walk over to them. "I think the best idea is that we gather our things together and we meet tonight at our meeting spot at midnight. Does everyone agree." I'm almost whispering.

"Yea. We will tell Mack." Emil says and then runs back upstairs.

That is when my father mindlinks me to come to his office.

I slowly walked into his office and shut the door behind me. "Yes, you needed to see me."

"You know exactly why you're here. You've not only chosen that piece of trash over your family and the crown but you're going to drag three innocent boys down with you!" My father is screaming. I'm pretty sure everyone in the whole territory can hear him right now.

"Emil, Jackin, and Mack are free to make their choices and they realize what a shit choice you're asking me to make between my mate and the crown. So, they're standing up with me."

My father cuts me off. "Fine. Go. Be with your little whore."

The door opens and there stands Gracia with tears streaming down her face. "Are you all talking about me? Justus are you giving up the crown for me?"

"Little mate, don't worry I just need to grab a couple of things from my room and then we can leave."

"No. I'm not going to let you make that choice." With that Gracia turns and runs out the door shifting as soon as she is outside.
