Prince Justus and the Rogue

Gracia POV

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, do not worry I just need to grab a couple of things from my room and then we can leave." Justus says while trying to get me to hold on. "No. I am not going to let you make that choice." With that Gracia turns and runs out the door shifting as soon as she is outside.

I've shifted to my wolf and I'm running as far away as I can. I need to get to Cecily and then I need to get the hell out of here. We were better off on our own. 'But he loves you.' My wolf, Grey, points out.

'Yeah but I can not be responsible for screwing up his life. What happens if he starts second guessing his decisions? He'll start thinking of all the things that could have been, everything that he's lost, and how much harder his life is now. He will blame me for screwing up his life.' I point out.

'I do not think you need to worry about that. I talked to Jasper, Justus' wolf, and he loves you so much that he is willing to do this without giving it a second thought and Jasper also said that his three best friends are coming with him.' Grey said knowing what my reaction would be.

'Yeah a second thought. That's what I'm worried about. So, Emil, Jackin, and Mack are coming? I never expected that.' I need confirmation on this.

'Yep those are the ones. I think that's so cool. You might as well stop running, he is coming after you now.' Grey said, trying to get me to stop running even though I'm in wolf form I am still in control.

"How far away are they?" I stop by a stream to drink some water.

"Justus is about twenty minutes away and according to Jasper Emil, Jackin, and Mack are leaving tonight at midnight." Grey informs me.

"Tell Jasper, I will wait right here by the stream for them to get here." I finally agreed to let him join me.

I sit by the stream for over an hour and I am starting to get impatient. 'Grey, ask Jasper if everything is alright. They should have been here by now.'

'He is not answering now, I am worried too.' Grey whines in my mind.

Justus POV

I did not even hesitate to run after Gracia. The only thing that is surprising me is how fast she is. She only got a ten minute head start and you would have thought she got an hour at least. I mindlink Mack to try to pack a bag of clothes for me and to keep to the original plan. The four of us are to meet at our meeting spot at midnight.

I'm moving as fast as I can towards The Takers' house. I know Gracia went there because that is where Cecily is and she is going to want to pick her up before leaving the region.

'Jasper see if you can make contact with Gracia's wolf. Tell her how much I love her.' I tell my wolf.

'I've already done that boss.' I can see him smiling in my head.

'She does not want to be responsible for screwing up your life. She is afraid you will blame her for making bad decisions. We love her and Grey. Why can she not trust us?' My wolf does not understand human emotions especially when it

comes to women.

'I don't know man.' I shake my head.

'She is surprised your friends are wanting to come along.' I saw that coming. I was guessing that she would be surprised.

'She does not know the guys.' I'm laughing thinking of all of us traveling together as our own little pack.

'She says she will wait for us by a stream up ahead. I think it is about thirty minutes more.'

We round a bend just in time to see a group of warriors blocking our path. They must have been sent by my father. King Richard POV

I threw the last piece of furniture available across the room in my office; everything else had been torn off the walls, smashed, or broken. I can not believe this son of mine. I have given him everything every luxury life can afford, everything he has ever asked for, and even the crown over his older brother but it is still not good enough. Nothing is ever good enough for him. Now his mother is sitting in our bedroom crying because her youngest son has left. What am I to say to her? Maybe I should send my royal warriors out to bring him back. I don't know what else to do. Will he just run again? I decided to send my warriors and we'll see if they come back with him. Beta Augusto

My son has left for what I do not know. It is not even his mate for fuck's sake. Emil has always been a good boy. He has never gone off on half brained ideas like this, he has never been the one to make snap decisions, or be a rebel. He is not one of those boys. I have always made sure of it because this is how I raised him. I just can not believe what he has done today. This is so not like Emil. His mother is not talking to me either. She says this is all my fault because I have kept the reins on him too tight and now that he is of age he has gone and left at the first opportunity.

My son Jackin has left and I do not know why. I am completely dumbfounded. I raised him to be better than this. I have always been on his ass about everything and the biggest was taking over my place as delta when I retire. This is what he has studied, trained, and breathed for almost his whole life. I made sure to focus his whole world to be all about becoming the delta in the castle. Now his mother is mad at me because I did not let the boy out to play enough when he was a child. What the hell? He got outside sometimes and look at the kids he was playing with. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe I should not have let him out at all.

I'm not really sure Mack's motives for leaving but I am thinking maybe he just needs to shake his tail feathers while he is still young. Maybe sew a few oats, act a little crazy, and turn upside down a couple villages before he has to settle down with a mate and work. I do not have a problem with that. Speaking of mates he does not have one so maybe he will meet her while he is out seeing the country. I do not see why Ermo and Augusto are all worked up. Let the boys go have their fun. They will come back. Mack's mother is not too happy but she will get over it. We were young and free spirits once upon a time too.

Bozhena POV

So Justus thinks he can just run away and everything will be fine? Well, it is not fine. With or without him I am getting my hands on that crown. I heard he has an older brother. Maybe he can be my ticket to becoming Queen. That is it I'll just have daddy find out everything he can about this older brother and see about getting him put in power and then I can do the rest.

"Hey dad. I was thinking about this whole shake up with the crown that everyone's been talking about." I sat down in front of his desk.

"What were you thinking princess?" Dad looks up at me and smiles. He can not ever tell me no.

"Doesn't Justus have an older brother?" I ask, watching for my dad's reaction.

"Yes, his name is Achard. King Richard gave me the responsibility of keeping my eye on him wherever he went. He recently left the coast of Croatia and is living not too far from here, maybe an hour in wolf form or two hours walking. I suppose I could put a bug in King Richard's ear that maybe we should consider Achard for the crown now that Justus has left. After all, it was his birthright." Daddy has always been so smart.
