A single leaf drifted to the ground, the wind caressing it's surface as it floated closer and closer to the mud covered grass below. It was starting to change from green to a softer amber, a sign that nature was turning the clock and winter was on the horizon.
Autumn was his favorite time of year. His feet crunched through the fallen leaves, the smell of life surrounded the lycan as he moved deeper into the forest. Being back at court was not easy for him, he hate the politics of this three ring circus, but he had support his beta.
Lucian was the youngest lord at court, he hated the responsibility but he would serve his King and pack loyally. Being in the woods calmed him down, made him feel closer to his feral, lycan side which raged inside of him. The tall trees spiraled high, it was like they were trying to reach the sky like he was. Lucian was almost trying to climb higher, keep his head above the surface and survive the chaos of Vaan's court.
Dressed in only a pair of dark slacks, a loose white shirt topped with a tight Grey waist coat. On his feet were his expensive Italian leather loafers. This was a day of peace for him, he needed it more than anything. His mind was rushing, his thoughts were angry and frustrated since he could not predict the outcome of this case. Was his beta and his almost mate Eva going to gain peace as well as her freedom? Lucian did not know and he hated this. He wanted his beta to have some happiness.
Stopping suddenly he realized that he wanted happiness as well but that had to be put on a back burner. Eva and Raphael came first.

Dane was at the palace in the library reading a good book for a little while but he felt the itch to leave to the woods for a walk around. Putting the book away he had a snack soon after. Going to his mom and dad he let them know where he was going so they wouldn't worry about him but they would worry about their little boy. Showering he slid out carefully and dried off. Soon after he put on some black slacks, a black mess hoodies with a black tank top under that with some black shoes. Dane looked many colors but black was his favorite color to wear. Taking some snacks and wine with him if he needed it, Dane left the castle for his walk.
Watching the leaves falling around him he smiled all bundled up by a long black peacoat, with some black leather gloves on his hands as well.. The large buttons were buttoned up around him to keep him warm. With his small snack backpack with him he looked around along the way with his dark eyes, there in his eyes was ice flames blazing. Glancing behind him he didn't see anyone there but felt someone else was in the woods besides him. He was his parents little boy demon or lycan it didn't matter to them what he was, Dane was their child.
Softly humming to himself he went through the large woods and wondered where a nice place to have his snack was. Spotting a large rock he went over to it and sat down. His stomach was growling at him to have something to eat. Taking out his snack and the wine with a small wine glass, he poured the sweet red wine into his glass. Nibbling on his snack he kept his eyes peeled for anyone else in the woods.

Suddenly the atmosphere changed. Lucian was no longer alone in these dense woods. Turning on his heel, trying to location the source of this person, they were no lycan he was sure of that. Closing his eyes, he relied on his sense of smell only. Taking in a deep breath, letting it rush into his mouth, up his nose to his brain.
There, found them. Whoever they were they were no far from his present location. This people smelt male but recked of sulfur and fire. Lucian was going to find out why they were here at court. What they wanted from the King of lycans and most importantly what the hell they were. The young lord had never smelt anything like this, so exotic and dark. It pulled at his curiosity making him want to find the answers to the questions rushing through his mind.
The leaf crunched underneath his feet as he made his way through the trees in the general direction of the scent of this other person. As a high ranking member of court, it was his duty to find out, to question and interrogate this newcomer to court. Lucian was a faithful lycan to his king, serving his will and enforcing his word which was the law. Fair enough he had bent the law a few time in the past few years but he would never break a single law and risk exile. That was how this particular lycan was.

Dane wouldn't get to far from home he didn't want his parents to worry about him. He was their only son and their pride and joy as well. With the scent of his lycan parents on him but it didn't hide his demonic scent. It wasn't hard to miss it was of hell itself but he hadn't been raised in hell. He hadn't met many people so far but hoped that would change. His reasons for being at court were that his parents wanted him safe from kidnappers or from anyone else who wished him harm.
Hearing the sound he stood up and looked around on his guard for the person. Moving his snack away so he wouldn't trip over it or worse. "Who's there?" Calling out he waited for Lucian to get to him. He hated not knowing who was out in the woods with him, it bugged Dane a great deal. Not seeing Lucian yet he sat back down to finish his snack, taking his time. Thinking about how happy he was with his parents he did feel lonely and didn't know what he really wanted in life, he would find out when that time came.

The sound of the stranger's voice was carried on the wind quickly reaching his ears. His body shifted, turning in the direction of the sound, his feet hammered against the soft forest floor. Curiosity surged through him, he had to know.
Curiosity may have killed the cat but it would not kill this particular lycan. This exotic scent was getting stronger with every passing second, Lucian knew he was close now. Slamming his feet into the ground inch away from the source of this smell. This part of the forest was much dense then the rest, trees blocked his view hiding whoever this way from his eyes.
Yes he was lycan lord but at heart Lucian Yale was a gentleman. There was no way he was going to barge through those trees like a savage without first announcing himself. "I am Lord Yale. The question is stranger who are you?" He said, making his move through the dense oaks.
His eyes searched the area, landing on a rather thin dark headed individual. A child, it was a child causing this smell? He looked no older than seventeen and that was a child in his books even though he himself was still a young lycan at thirty years old.
It was rude to ask a complete stranger what they were. Lucian was biting down on his tongue, stopping the words flooding from his mouth.

He called out again and listened for any noises that might be getting that much closer to him. Dane heard the leaves crunching under the weight of something. Happy that he was hidden from view and safe that way Dane smelled the lycan scent near by he smiled waiting to see the owner of the scent. Rubbing the back of his neck some he sat back down and paitently watched out for Lucian. Dane was a Marquess and proud of it but he was a good kid to no matter how old he was. Hearing the voice he stood up and looked around for Lucian. "Marquess Dane Sotheby is my name." Calling out his name back he stood there waiting once more.
Dane was soon found by Lucian and knew that he looked like a child but that was a demon thing. He matured until he was about 17 years old then stopped aging. Seeing how young Lucian looked Dane thought he was in his late 20's or very early 30's but was older then Lucian was in fact. Taking his bottom lip into his mouth he smelled the lycan smelled was so very strong he didn't move. "You are lycan?" He loved lycans they were always friendly to him and he felt safe with them.

This child was a Marquess? He had not excepted that, not in the slightest. The lycan thought he might have been a servant in one of the noble houses accompanying his master to court. However this was not so, this Dane Sotheby was a member of noble family.
If his knowledge of the nobles family was correct, the Sotheby family was a minor noble family who own thirty acres of land on the mainland. Lucian had no idea they had adopted a child in the last twenty or so years. "Greeting Marquess" He said with a slight smile whilst he bowed his head. This was a polite way of greeting another noble.
Now that was a strange question to ask of him, whether he was a lycan. "Indeed I am Marquess Sotheby, may I ask what you are. Your scent is exotic to my senses" He responded, querying the young man of his origin. Lucian was sometimes just to curious.
Knowledge was power after all. Lucian enjoyed a good book when searching for an answer always something he found thrilling, he would chase any leads until he found the answers to his many questions. Taking a few more, confident steps towards Dane as he did his scent grew stronger but it was not overpowering like the smell of females in heat was.

The teenage looking demon smiled and smelled the air again he was happy to be around Lucian and a lycan so he was just as happy as a clam. He adjusted the gloves a bit on his hands that covered the small ring his parents had given him but around his neck there was a white gold necklace with the symbol of his family hanging down it was pair of swords crossed through a crescent moon with a star on the bottom lip of the moon.
He read about all of the noble families around and through out history. Dane did miss home and all of his horses there, who were his friends. In truth his parents didn't tell many people they had adopted a child since they were worried someone might take their little boy. "Greetings My Lord." Smiling he bowed back to him being just as polite.
Asking his question he stood there quietly and hoped he hadn't offended Lucian or anything like that, it wasn't his intention to offend anyone. His eyes went wide hearing that it was music to his ears. "I am a demon Lord Yale but my parents are both lycans." Admitting what he was to the lycan he waited to see if there would end up being any disgust about it.
Dane would read anything he got his hands on and would hide much of the time with the book so his parents would have to sniff him out. Watching Lucian come over to him with a strong scent coming from the teenage looking demon. "I am sorry for the question Lord Yale I just really love the lycan race is all." Smiled being that adorable.
