Crown Prince?

As I walk out of the cave and turn the corner I'm shocked to see at least 10 armored men on horseback searching the forest at frightening speeds

WHAT THE HOLY FUCK

I quickly get in front of Hunter who had followed behind me in an attempt to get a higher chance of being able to protect him properly

Once they get in a twelve foot distance from us I start growing so loud the ground shakes and the horses rear upwards to a halt

I glare at them with a stare that almost seems to have something resembling a black gas coming out of some hell to strangle whatever its gaze lands on

The Armored peoples breathing hitches to a stop as sweat drips down their backs

For some reason even in their horrified state they keep looking back at Hunter with a worried look...

Just as I get ready to bear my fangs and hunt them all down-

Someone starts petting me from behind?

I turn my head around and see it's Hunter looking at me warmly with a smile

That makes my glare vanish from my face like it was never there

"It's alright their here to take us back"

Us? No bro if their here to take anyone it's gonna be your fucken ass not mine.

I look at him confused for a moment before sitting next to him while he continued to pet me

Now I know why my dog loved being pet...

This is pure bliss..

"Your Highness are you alright?!" one of the armored men on the horses yell over after he dismounted and lightly bowed with worry very evident in his tone

At that moment something in my head just clicked

THIS ASSHAT DOES COME FROM MONEY!

I KNEW IT!

THIS DUDE PROBABLY DOES HAVE A MANSION!!!!

NOT JUST A MANSION, A PALACE!?!?!?!

No NO NO HE probably HAS A WHOLE EMPIRE!!

I look at Hunter like I had just found a whole cave full of gold

"Yes, I am fine. Has anything of importance happened while I was gone"

Hunter asks with none of the previous emotions of the days I've been with him present although he does seem annoyed

Once the man hears Hunters words I see the once worried face of the man turn really awkward and reluctance was clearly shown on his face.

I can feel the guards occasional look at me but I'm to busy starring at Hunter like he's a gold mine to care

After clearing his throat the man he says "A lot of people in court believe you to be dead right now, and many of the nobles have begun to show interest in changing to the other factions side" he pauses "Duke Sean has spoken on behalf of the fifth prince on multiple occasions while you've been gone trying to state that you were probably long dead and a new heir should be named..."

Once he finishes talking I look back at Hunter to see what his opinion is, but his once friendly smile I saw only minutes ago has turned icy cold

I couldn't help but shiver as I stared at that stiff looking face

"Well I will have to disappoint them that their 'beloved' Crown Prince is still alive and well" Hunter says while laughing

"With that in mind do you have a spare horse for me to ride back on" Hunter asks in a tone that sounds more like a statement then a question

The man quickly says yes while hurrying to get the house that was once attached to one of the horses on side and another knight looking man and brought it up to Hunter in a hurry as if a moment of slowness would displease him

A moment later without saying anything Hunter picks me up

Although I'm smaller then normal wolves I am still very impressed when he manages to both lift me and get on the horse without breaking a sweat

Even I wouldn't be able to do that easily in my body

Hunter asks for a sack from one of the men in armor to put me in and no matter how much I give him the stink eye he still puts me in the sack

He flings the sack with me now in it onto his back sending me into a slight daze for a moment because of the 180 my body just experienced

After getting everything back on the horses and having Hunter give the word they start riding the horses in silence that only stops every few minutes by someone talking about something but with how comfortable the sack was compared to the cave floor I was already half asleep and couldn't comprehend anything being said

I see Hunter looking at me with my head sticking out of the sack with a smile and that smile tells me that he's still the same old softie I met in the woods which finally sets my heart at ease from a worry I didn't even know I had

Before I completely give in to my tiredness and sleep

I cant help but wonder how the fuck a man like Hunter is Royalty I'm honestly disappointed and if not for his abs I wouldn't have been able to understand how this man no matter how pretty could be a prince let alone the heir to some throne.

As my best friend bagel used to say so passionately -fuck my life
