if you took advantage of the situation and just had some fun. I think you need a little more fun in your life.”
    Thomas studied his reflection and Parker’s own image in the mirror before reflecting, “I think you might need to have fun tonight too, sir.”
    Parker started at the suggestion. What did Thomas mean? Parker had fun. He had lots of fun in between all of the official appearances, lawmaking and hours of study needed to understand the world. He had quite a history as a ladies’ man and he was sure Thomas would blush if he only knew. It might have been awhile since he’d given into the urge to be wild, perhaps before his coronation...but he didn’t need a night off for fun, that was for sure.
    Turning to face the mirror, Parker held out his hand for his ceremonial jacket. It was a stiff affair from the turn of the century of two centuries ago. It was a jacket that the last three generations of Alphas had worn for their wedding. . Thearon had tried to fight the tradition by suggesting they have suits made on Savile Row in England, but Parker had been steadfast to the traditions set forth by their forefathers. If they had all worn the sharply cut red jacket with the epaulets then so would he. Thearon, however, had remained stubborn to his point of view and had gone to a tailor to design a new outfit. Parker had yet to see the monstrosity but just thinking about the break in tradition made him angry.
    Taking in his tall form in the gilt mirror that had been a gift from a Russian Czar in the nineteenth century, Parker was proud of the traditions of his clan. He was even more than happy to share a wife with Thearon because he could see the beauty in the trinity they would become; each holding an important part in the hierarchy of the LeKing Tribe.
    What Parker tried to ignore as he fixed the cufflinks on his shirt, was the fact that he was not only marrying a woman he’d never met, he’d also be marrying his best friend who also happened to be the most frustrating man he’d ever met. Parker wasn’t sure what was worse, knowing what he was getting into with Thearon, or not knowing what he was getting from his new Queen. He was pretty sure Thearon was the worst part.
    Parker trusted in the Tribe’s tradition that the two men spend their wedding night and the following day together as a threesome with the Queen, but he wasn’t sure what it was going to be like to have sex with a man in the same room. Obviously, it was important that they participate in the act together but how was that supposed to go? What would their roles be? What was he supposed to...touch...
    Parker snapped his jacket together and forced himself to focus on the image in the mirror. He looked as all Alphas had on their wedding day: handsome, formal and sure. Keeping in the traditions of his Tribe had always served him well. Parker just had to trust that they would continue in leading him to a life of health and happiness, and that the gods had chosen the right three people to bring together in holy matrimony.
    Sighing again, Parker realized he needed a little time to clear his head and remove the weight of stress from his shoulders. “Thomas, what time is it?”
    “You have fifteen minutes till the wedding, sir.”
    Hmm, fifteen minutes . He could get around the garden easily in ten, more than enough time to arrive at the entrance to the ceremonial cave for the ceremony. It would be perfect timing as, at the moment, he wasn’t sure he could stand next to Thearon without feeling anxious. Parker wasn’t ready to show weakness in front of his other half.
    “Alright, Thomas, as your last act of assisting for this evening, I would like you to escort me to the gardens. I think I’ll take a loop around them before heading to the wedding.”

    Thearon LeKing checked his watch for the fifth time. It was official: everyone else was late. The first time he’d checked the time, Thearon had admitted that he was early. The second and third times
