			      The Feres King
				Chapter 17

Oh my God! Could it be true?

I wanted to go after Wren but I didn't know where he went. Even if I could
follow him, he was too fast for me, I would surely get lost in this
unfamiliar place.

`Go after him. Make sure he's alright,' I told Wain-wolf. He barked once
and darted after his brother.

I grabbed the towel Wren dropped and put it around my waist because I've
been naked all this time. Dale, Seth and the twins left the room. I figured
they wanted to give us some space.

I sat on the sofa. My eyes fixated the young woman.

Eric came to sit by my side. He grabbed hold of my hand for
support. Charlie stood staring at the darkness outside.

`If what you say is true, why were you following Rye?' Eric asked.

`Start talking,' I told her.

`My Lady was curious when I told her Wren was bonded. So she asked me to
find out who he was bonded to. It was hard to tell because ...'

`Wait a minute. You're confusing me here. Start from the beginning. Why
would she send a spy after Wren? And why not come to find him herself?'

Eric nodded in agreement.

`Well, after Graylard threw her out, my Lady mourned for her child, despite
what he did to her while she was visiting her sister here in Theran. She
tried to see him on numerous occasions and she succeeded only
once. Unluckily, Graylard found out and told her that if she comes close to
his son again he'll have her head. My Lady was petrified yet she couldn't
bare the thought of not seeing her son. She sent her familiars every now
and then so she could have a glimpse at him. She had done so for nineteen
years. But three months ago Wren disappeared and she went frantic.

`She searched for him everywhere and still couldn't find him. In the end
she became ill with sadness, because she thought him dead. That's where I
come in.  My family had been serving hers for years. She set us free but my
sister and I couldn't leave her in the condition she was in. Since she is
too weak to send her familiars, I volunteered to find him myself.'

`By chance you found him in Belen.'

`Yes. I found him and saw he was bonded. I followed you because you seemed
to be the one he was in love with but I was puzzled because you didn't have
a glyph.  My Lady wanted to know why. That's when you disappeared
again. Then we heard that you were in Notwitt so I waited here in Theran
for you. I knew you'll come here sooner or later.'

Wow! What can I say? Wow!

`Eric,' Charlie said.

`She's telling the truth. Her pulse is stable and she's breathing
right. What do you think Char? If she's lying she's very good at it. Does
her story sounds too good to be true to you?'

`It does seem that way, although part of it checked out. Wren disappearance
she was referring to the first time must have been the time he crossed the
barrier into the human realm with you.' My uncle turned to face her. `We'll
let you go. But on one condition; you stop pursuing Rye.'

`And tell Lady Amm that she hasn't been the only one suffering from the
separation. Wren will be the one to decide what to do once we told him her
version of the story.'

Dana nodded. `Thank you. She will love that.'

`Go.'

She wiped a tear and closed her eyes. Then she disappeared into a glow of
blue sparkling lights just like Nick had done many times before. That
reminded me, `Why didn't she use her teleport herself out when I caught
her?'

`Fear. It's difficult for some witches to concentrate when they're afraid.'

`Oh!'

Then I looked at Eric. `What's the deal really? I mean Wain warned me that
Wren was a little sensitive on the subject.'

`Wren blamed himself for his mother's departure. He thought he'd done
something wrong and that she didn't want him anymore. Growing up without
her had been a torment for him; especially since he had to watch his
brothers being spoiled by theirs. Sure, my mother and Wain's loved him and
treated him like their own but it wasn't the same. He wanted his own
mother. And now that I think of it I blame father for Wren's state of
mind.'

`This was the way he tried to alienate Wren from the rest of you. Get him
jealous so he would always turn to him. He is a clever man your father, if
I may say so myself.'

`The old divide and conquer trick,' I said.

`Exactly,' Charlie said.

 I felt really bad for Wren. I wanted to hold him. I wanted to tell him I
love him and that I would never leave him.

<Atsa come back to me>

I waited but no answer came.

Hours later Wain entered the chamber. It was close to dawn and the
neighboring perched birds were getting excited.

`Well?'

`I followed him all over Theran but I lost his scent by the vanishing pool
three hours ago.'

If he went through the vanishing pool then I might have an idea where he
might be.

`That's okay Wain. I know how hard you tried.'

I stood up and called for the feri-lights above.

`Where're you going?'

`I think I might have an idea where he is.'

`Want me to come with?'

`No. Get some sleep. I don't want you to miss the celebration later.'

He said yes but he didn't go to his chamber. He crashed on my bed as naked
as he was. I smiled.

`Sleep well.'

`Sure,' he replied.

I materialized in the courtyard back in Notwitt. Immediately I started for
the overhang. There I found him sitting on the ledge hugging his legs at
the knee with his head buried in them.

Gently I edged closer and sat by his side without a word. The cold slab I
sat on sent chills to my bones. I wonder how Wren wasn't feeling it, being
that he was naked.

`You know you gave us quite a scare,' I said.

He looked at me. His eyes were angry red and although he stopped, he had
been crying.

I pulled him into my arms. He didn't resist. I played with his hair and
told him what Dana told us. He didn't reply nor did he react in any way. He
just held me tight and kept his eyes on the horizon where the sun was
coming out of hiding.

After an hour he started talking. He told me about his childhood, and what
it was like growing up with his family. Eric was right. He did feel
somewhat responsible for his mother leaving. Indeed he was jealous of his
brothers but he was angrier at himself more than anything. He told me about
Eric's mother, how he treated him.  Meanwhile I just listen.

`You know I love you right?' I said to him.

He nodded.

`You are part of my life, my family. With me you'll never feel lonely or
abandoned again.'

`You really mean that?'

 `Of course, I've already planned our lives together.' He gave a short
laugh.

`And what that might be?'

`We will settle down somewhere quiet. Have children, lots of them. We will
watch them grow until we get old and believe me when I tell you we will
never be apart.'

`I like that plan.'

`Sure you do.'


When we got back in Theran, we met with Charlie and Eric in their chamber
after we had freshened up. They were having breakfast with two unexpected
guests.

`Rye, come meet my brother Warrick. The young man by his side is son Mani,'
Charlie said.

As customary in Wyrmer, we shared hugs.

`I am honored to finally meet you your Highness. I like your speech last
night. I found it intriguing, inspiring. And it was about time someone put
Benson in his place.'

`Thank you, I guess.'

`Warrick was telling us about his father,' Eric
interrupted. Understandable, he and Charlie would want to know about
him. They haven't seen them in more than eighteen years.

`Yes,' Warrick said. `Sorry Char but father died six years ago. He did of
sadness and regret, more so because he was responsible for mother's
death. She died a year before. Your loss was driving her crazy for years
and she couldn't take it in the end.  I will spare you the detail but she
took her own life.'

Charlie eyes filled with tears. Also tearing up Eric grabbed hold of
him. Wren held me too.

`I'm sorry Char,' Warrick said touching his brothers hand.

`I'm going to be fine brother,' he said meekly.

Meanwhile, Chase entered with a radiant smile. I could see it in his stride
that something happened to him last night. Did he get laid?

Everyone looked up at him. When he saw his dad's face he quickly became
concerned.

`What's wrong dad?'

`Dad?' Warrick said in awe. The word `dad' was said in English but it
meaning was widely understood in Targeten.

`Char, that's your son?' Charlie didn't answer but Warrick got up and
hugged a confused Chase.

`Chase, this man is your uncle Warrick. He was just telling us what
happened to your grandparents,' Eric said.

I told him what happened and he instantly was by his dad side. He kissed
him on the head. `I'm sorry dad.'

`I'm going to be okay son.'

Chase was then introduced to his cousin and his uncle told us more about
Charlie sister Terra who got married three years ago to an influential
Warlock in the Witches' capital Pixan. He told us about being his clan's
alpha and how he met his son's mother Lea.

Despite the initial bad news, Charlie laughed when he heard about his old
friends and family. In the end when Warrick left he was his old self again.

Chase and his cousin had really bonded as well. They had been having their
own private conversation for as long as we had. And when it was time for
Mani to leave he didn't want to go.

`Dad, can I go with them?' Chase asked.

Charlie smiled. `Ask your uncle. If he says yes then you could go with
them.'

Of course Warrick said yes. If he didn't he would have both Mani and Chase
to fend off.

Shortly after breakfast, Wren and I decided to take a nap. We've been up
all night and we were tired. We wouldn't be missed because Charlie and Eric
were going back to Notwitt. Apparently they were meeting up with some
others. Something to do with the task I gave them.

In our chamber I was surprise to see Wain still in our bed. And he wasn't
alone.

`Morning Wain, Rhett.'

Wren was quiet.

`Hey guys,' they said in unison.

`Got enough space in there, we need some shut eye,' I didn't want to evict
them nor did I want to sleep on the sofa.

`Sure, there's plenty of space.'

Stripping down, we climbed in. Wren went in first facing me.

`You're alright bro?'

`Yeah!' Wren answered but as soon as he laid his head down he was out for
the count. I took longer to fall asleep especially because Wain and Rhett
were constantly rustling their side of the bed with their love play.

Since I was facing them I couldn't stop myself from peeking.

Wain climbed on top of Rhett and kept on necking him. Rhett smiled in
complete bliss. He wrapped his legs around Wain to prolong the
feeling. Necking became a game of heavy petting and making out. I was
aroused but a little effort on my part I was able to tame the desire.

Rhett moaned a bit too loud. Wain shushed him. `Quietly, we don't want to
wake them.'

His friend held back a giggle.

`Fuck me,' Rhett pleaded.

`We don't have lubrication,' Wain murmured.

`Don't worry, I lubed up before I came.'

Wain smirked. `You've been anticipated this all night haven't you?'

`Stop talking and fuck me already.'

With his weight supported by Rhett's body, Wain reached down for his cock
and shoved it in his friend's chute. Rhett hissed. Wain made love to his
friend's chin and neck. Meanwhile his lover relaxed and became receptive.

`Are you ready for me big boy?' Wain whispered.

Rhett bobbed is head. Wain thrust forward. He was rewarded with a moan. He
did that three more times before really going to town on that ass. Rhett
pulled his head back. Eyes closed, he held fast to his lover and bathed in
the ocean of bliss.  The smelled of their love making filled my nostril and
still I resisted the urge to join them.

Grunting like a stag in rut, Wain thrust harder and harder until he became
tense and ended up breeding his friend's ass. Exhausted his chest crushed
his friend underneath him.

`That was awesome. Did you come?'

`Yeah.' Rhett whispered back.

I rested my head on Wren's arm content.

What a good way to fall asleep?
