paramour.
Thearon was shaken from his thoughts by the sound of footsteps coming quickly down the hallway. It was a long affair that ran the entire side of the palace. The palace structure was built just outside of New Orleans proper, around a complex series of caves built into the natural landscape. Caves were sacred to the Werebears and every Werebear Tribe was set up around large cavernous areas in which to conduct and celebrate rituals no matter where in the world they lived.
As Parker turned the corner, Thearon could see the man already had his hands lifted in submission.
“Listen Thearon, I apologize. I’ve been fielding emails from the Loupbrun Tribe all day. Paulette is paranoid about a group of Werebeasts that are in for Mardi Gras. It has taken all of my political charms to talk her down from the wall. Add that to the wedding and, well, I just wanted to take a turn around the gardens to clear my head. That’s understandable right?” Parker seemed to pause to give Thearon the opportunity to commiserate, but Thearon only blinked.
Parker decided to explain further, “Then, by the rose bushes, I got stuck talking about crop rotation with Peter, you know the gardener in charge of the wheat? Anyway, he was bringing up some good points about the new law we’re considering on genetically enhanced crops and…”
Parker was finally close enough to Thearon to see that his tirade was not making a dent in Thearon’s anger. And though it hurt that yet again, Thearon wasn’t willing to acknowledge the hardships of being an Alpha, or an Omega for that matter, Parker had to admit that he’d screwed this up pretty bad. Parker sighed in submission, “Listen I’m sorry, man. I didn’t mean to be so late. It’s just a lot to take in. We’ve spent our whole lives knowing this was going to take place and yet it didn’t seem real till about a half an hour ago.”
Thearon watched as Parker’s hand gripped the back of his neck, pulling down on the tight muscles. Thearon felt his own resolve crack a little. “Yeah, your detour into the garden forced me into my own space to think about things. The way I look at it, there're some pros and cons to the setup, but they’re not worth cataloging because we’re gonna do this anyway. Like you always say: Tradition dictates it.”
Standing up straighter, Parker feeling his resolve, said “And tradition has never led us wrong so far.” Thearon watched as the man’s eyes skimmed the portraits lining the hallway. “Now it’s time for us to fulfill our final requirement to become a royal family.”
Walking toward the cave entrance, the men could hear a string quartet softly playing in the acoustic space. After announcing their presence to the staff member at the door, Parker leaned back “Do you think she’s going to be pissed at us?”
“Parker, I’m pissed at you. I don’t think I could’ve lived with myself had I been stood up by my groom. You should really start praying she even walks down the aisle.”
“Oh, I’m going to get us through this, I think. If she was just walking down the aisle to your ugly mug she’d turn around and run.”
Thearon stayed silent, but gave Parker the slightest of pushes as the doors to the cave opened, enveloping the room with a loud clatter. When Parker turned around to reprimand the Omega, all Thearon did was wink . Whatever life married to another man meant in the bedroom, life was always going to be amusing at the very least , thought Parker.
CHAPTER TWO
Lavinia was shaking like a leaf and looking down at her bridal bouquet. Rolling her shoulders back, she forced herself to relax. That one of the grooms had been so late to the ceremony didn’t bode well in her eyes, but she hadn’t asked which one was late. Lavinia didn’t want to start off her relationship with the men wondering why one of them didn’t value her. They didn’t know her yet, she thought as she stood taller, nothing mattered until she walked
