Finding Family in the Shadows

“Hi,” Harry said with smile.

“Hello, Little Submissive,” Nefarion answered.

“We are going to have dinner outside in the yard like a picnic since it is still so pretty outside. Plus, Kyron made a comment about the two of you not spending a lot of time outside so we thought you might appreciate it,” Harry informed him.

“That is very kind. Thank you,” Nefarion responded. Harry ducked his head for a moment before taking a deep breath and turning determined eyes up to the Half Demon.

“Will you let me sit with you?” Harry asked him. He glanced behind Nefarion and saw Kyron, once again laughing. He seemed to think the entire situation was hilarious. Harry saw a quick flash of movement and then the other man yelped and punched Nefarion in the arm.

“That hurt, Rion,” Kyron exclaimed. “Keep your tail to yourself.”

“Quiet,” Nefarion stated with a glare. He turned back to Harry and inclined his head. “I am honored that you want to sit with me. Nothing would make me happier.”

“Perfect,” Harry said and smiled brightly. He reached out and slipped his tiny hand into Nefarion’s large one. “Come on, we are going to sit with my Ace Doyle, and some of my parents. Kyron you can come too.”

“Thank you, Little one,” Kyron said with a small bow. Then they followed Harry over to a blanket that had laid out. Harry instructed the two men to sit down and then Harry grinned before crawling right into Nefarion’s lap.

The Demon was shocked and a bit unsure what he should do with his hands. Physical touch of any kind that wasn’t a fight was really new to him. Even growing up, his family hadn’t been overly affectionate. Harry solved that problem for him by taking his arms and wrapping them around himself.

“There, that’s better,” Harry insisted.

“You are torturing the poor man,” Remus said with a chuckle. He sat down next to Kyron and shook his hand. “Remus, nice to meet the two of you. You smell like a were, may I ask what kind. It isn’t wolf.”

“Geeze, dad you couldn’t have waited like four minutes?” Harry said with a laugh. “And I am not torturing him. I am cuddling him.”

“I don’t think he even knows what a cuddle is,” Kyron pointed out. Then he reached out quickly and was suddenly holding Nefarion’s tail. “Stop hitting me with this thing. I mean it.”

Nefarion just shrugged and didn’t seem like he was sorry at all. He did seem to slowly relax as Harry played with his clawed fingers.

“I am half Shadow Demon half Were Panther,” Kyron answered Remus. “And this big oaf is half Fire Demon and half Shadow Dragel.”

“There are a lot of Submissives that are not ok with half-breeds. Are you not bothered?” Nefarion asked Harry who was happily tracing the glyphs on his skin that marked him as a Demon.

“Absolutely, not,” Harry answered distractedly. “My Alpha and one of my Kings are both also Dark Fae, Three of my Gheyo are also Unseelie Sidhe, and Zagan is also a Hellcat. Mixed heritage is not something that I am concerned with. What are these marks? None of my other bonded have them. Is it a Demon thing?”

“Yes, they are simply glyphs that represent the type of Demon that I am as well as my rank and power level,” Nefarion answered.

“For instance, he is a Fire Demon,” Kyron said and pointed to the markings on each arm that represented Fire. “The swirling here that travels from his marking up his shoulders and onto his chest represent his ranking in the Demon Realms and these that curl around his arms and down to his wrists show his power.”

“And do you have them?” Harry asked curiously. Kyron chuckled and pulled his shirt over his head to expose his arms and chest. His markings were definitely different.

“These show that I am a Shadow Demon,” Kyron pointed to the same place on his arms where Nefarion’s markings were, but Harry could see the difference in the design and color. Nefarion’s markings were deep red, and Kyron’s were dark grey.

He pointed to the swirling markings that started in the same place as Nefarion’s, but they stopped before they barely touched his chest.

“This is because I am of a much lower rank than Nefarion. And these represent my power levels. You can see they are much less detailed than his because he is also quite a bit more powerful than I am. He is quite a bit more powerful that most pure Demon’s. You’re little snake has actually called quite the impressive man to your side,” Kyron insisted.

“And you have been a prison guard for centuries, I believe is what we heard?” Doyle asked as he sat down next to Nefarion and Harry.

“That is correct. Though I cannot remember how many exactly,” Nefarion answered.

“He stopped counting a five,” Kyron added. “So, at least that many.”

“Any particular reason you stayed on for so long? Most people tend to serve their first contract and then leave as quickly as possible,” Doyle asked him.

“I didn’t mind the work and there was no one waiting for me to return,” Nefarion responded.

“No, friends or family?” Harry asked him with a sad look.

“No, Little Submissive. My friends were still excited about fighting in the Demon Wars that were still being waged between clans and my family didn’t understand why I wanted to retreat from battle at all,” Nefarion told him honestly.

“You don’t like to fight?” Harry asked him curiously. Kyron chuckled and Nefarion flicked his tail in warning.

“I do but what they were doing was not fighting. They were massacring entire rival clan villages. Their children and elderly as well. I was not interested in being part of it,” Nefarion admitted.

“Sounds to me like you left for good reason,” Harry told him. “Did you enjoy the Prison Realm?”

“I am made of more feral things than what you consider a Joker. Working at the Prison allowed me to satisfy my need for a good, bloody fight as well as my need to make sure that criminals were punished for their crimes,” Nefarion answered.

“Do you want to go back?” Remus asked the half Demon.

Harry shot him a grateful look. Nefarion was silent and then tightened his arms around Harry and finally leaned down and nuzzled his hair the way he had been wanting to from the moment Harry had gotten so close.

“No, I believe I finally have a reason not to return,” Nefarion admitted. Harry purred in his arms pressed a small kiss to the man’s muscled arm.

“I am glad,” Harry added.

The food was levitated out of the house and put on all of the different picnic blankets Pandora made Harry and Remus a plate before sitting down next to Remus. Kyron and Doyle made their own, but Nefarion didn’t move to make his own. He kept his arms firmly wrapped around Harry.
“Not hungry?” Pandora asked the massive man carefully holding her son.

“Not particularly. I don’t eat all that often,” Nefarion answered.

“He likes his food a little rarer,” Kyron pointed out.

“Oh, like a were,” Pandora responded. Nefarion inclined his head. Pandora went to stand up, but Severus placed a hand on her shoulder.

“I will take care of it, Dora,” Severus assured her.

“You don’t have to bother I will be fine,” Nefarion insisted. Harry just patted his hand and shook his head.

“Let him fuss. He will do it anyway. Thank you Sev,” Harry said with a bright smile. Severus smiled at him and then headed back into the house. “This way he will know for next time what you like and can make sure it is prepared for you.”

“Alright,” Nefarion agreed.

“I am Pandora, one of Harry’s parents,” the Pareya introduced herself. “Luna’s bearer.”

“It is nice to meet you,” Nefarion said politely. Severus returned a lot quicker than Harry had expected him to with a plate for Nefarion. “Thank you.”

“Not a problem,” Severus said and then he went and sat next to Salazar, Lucius, and Tom.

The meal was spent with a lot of talking between them all and Harry enjoyed every minute of it. When his parents left, Harry and his bonded retreated to the sitting room in the house. Harry sat on the floor with Erebus and Zagan in his Hellcat form.

“If it isn’t too much trouble, I would like to hear the story that led to him having the ability to create Shadowsworn,” Nefarion asked Salazar.

“Shadowsworn? It has been a very long time since I heard that name,” Salazar asked surprised. He looked at Harry making Erebus stop pinning Zagan down. The Shadow Beast loved just flopping over on the other feline and seeing how long it takes for Zagan to get up.

“You did not know that is what it was?” Nefarion responded.

“No, we did not. We have not been able to figure it out. We figured it was something uniquely Harry,” Garrick answered. “His luck kind of works that way.”

“Will you explain what they are to us and then we might be able to tell you what you want to know,” Severus asked the half Demon.

“They are creatures that can only be created by those who have been to Death’s Court and returned with blessings from her. Shadowsworn are loyal only to those who create them. They can live as long as their creators do and truly need nothing to sustain them,” Nefarion informed them all.

“Been to Death’s Court and returned with blessings,” Hadrian repeated. He turned to Severus, since he was the one who had known Harry the longest. “Has he died and returned?”

“The only time that I can think of was when he was fifteen months old,” Severus told them. “He is the only known person to have ever survived the Killing Curse. Maybe he didn’t survive it at all. Maybe he died and was returned?”

“Yeah, that or it was when I was five and the Dursleys locked me outside during the winter. I spent an entire night outside in the snow with nothing by my clothes. I remember getting really cold and fuzzy and then the next time I woke up I was in my cupboard. I remember hearing the Dursleys talking about how they were going to explain my death to Dumbledore. They seemed pretty shocked when they realized I was alive,” Harry told them.

He has spoken with no emotion in his voice at all. As if he hadn’t just revealed to his bonded that he had frozen to death at five years old. Erebus licked his face and Zagan laid across his lap and nudged him for pets.

“Both instances could have been the one. Or both could,” Nefarion stated in the sudden silence. He was a bit upset to learn that he was right about the life the little Submissive had lived.

“Maybe he should be taken to Death’s Court and meet Aiden. He would be able to let us know if Harry was blessed by Lady Death or not,” Hadrian suggested.

“That might be a good idea,” Salazar agreed. “You can set up the meeting for us?”

“I can. I will go for a visit tomorrow,” Hadrian assured their Alpha.

“Thank you,” Salazar responded. Hadrian inclined his head. “Though I will be surprised if he is Death Blessed. I would have sworn he was Chaos Blessed.”

“Chaos seems far more likely,” Severus agreed.

“That is for sure,” Harry said with a laugh.

“While we are all here, I would like to bring up something with the rest of you,” Mistral asked.

“Go ahead,” Salazar answered.

“I was on Nevarah searching for the brother of the Unseelie Queen. Prince Essus was rumored to be on Nevarah, and I was searching for him to warn him that his sister is looking for him. I was also going to offer to help guard him or protect him from his sister if he needed it. I would like to request to be allowed to at least continue to search for him to deliver the warning,” Mistral asked all at once.

“And if he is not on Nevarah? Would you request to leave to search him out?” Salazar asked him.

“The honest answer is that I don’t know. I believe the Prince needs to be warned that his insane sister is searching for him. But I will not follow him across realms to deliver the message,” Mistral answered.

“I don’t see where it would be an issue or interfere with anything if you take some time to search him out. If some of the others would like to assist you I am fine with that as well,” Salazar said after a moment.

“Thank you, Alpha. I will not let my search interfere with my duty to our circle,” Mistral promised.

“Well, it is getting a bit late, and I still need to find a place to stay for the night. We only just arrived in Nevarah right before we you. I haven’t had time to make any arrangements as of yet,” Kyron stated and made to stand.

“You are welcome to stay,” Harry offered quickly. “We have the room and there is no reason for you to stay somewhere else unless you want to. Right Sal?”

“He is more than welcome to stay, Little Snake,” Salazar agreed. He turned to Kyron. “He is right we have the room and there is most likely not any places available. People are getting ready for The Hunt and most places are reserved at this point.”

“Thank you,” Kyron stated. “I would be happy to assist you in your search Storm Joker.”

“That would be welcome, thank you,” Mistral accepted.

“I also wouldn’t be opposed to joining your rotation for guard duty around the home,” Kyron offered.

“We can work with that as well,” Doyle agreed.

Harry got up and moved to Severus’ lap and whispered something in his ear. The Pareya smiled at him and nodded.

“Harry would like to bring up something else that is a circle matter,” Severus stated.

“Go on, Harry. We are listening,” Garrick assured him.

“Well, I um, was talking to Severus about babies. He said it was something to talk about with everyone,” Harry started.

“What about babies, Love?” Salazar asked him. Harry blushed.

“We were talking about contraceptive charms and how pregnancies worked for Dragel,” Harry answered.

“I told him that Dragel pregnancies have a lot to do with magic and that there had to be an agreement between the circle that they were ready before a Submissive or other bonded would get pregnant,” Severus added.

“That is very true, if you are still worried about it, we can make sure that we start using them when we are together,” Garrick offered. Harry blushed again.

“I don’t want that,” Harry stated. “I..well I wouldn’t be upset if I did get pregnant. I know all of this is new and that maybe it isn’t exactly the right time and I am willing to wait until everyone is ready but I just wanted you all to know that I have aways wanted a large family and kids and I would be ok with it if it were to happen.”

“Calm, Love. No need to speak so fast or be nervous. Knowing how you feel is really important. Thank you for sharing that with us,” Salazar reassured him. Harry took deep breath and smiled. Severus kissed him on the cheek.

“I believe that this is a big step that deserves to be thought about properly before any decisions are made,” Hadrian stated. “I don’t think having one conversation is going to give it the attention and consideration that it deserves. I think we should each take the time to really think about it and maybe revisit the discussion in about two weeks.”

“I think that is actually a very good suggestion,” Severus replied. “What do you think, Love?”

“It is a really good point. I agree with Hadrian,” Harry stated with a smile. They hadn’t shot him down. He hadn’t been told no. In fact, they were going to take him seriously and take time to think about it before they came to a decision. He was so lucky to have these people.

“Ok, then that is what we will do,” Garrick agreed. “We will each take the time to really think about this for the next two weeks and then we will have another discussion about it together and decide what will work best for everyone.”

“So, do we need to use contraception charms in the mean time?” Blaise asked. He just wanted to make sure everyone was still on the same page.

“No, Harry has expressed his desire not to use them, so we won’t. Severus is right, Dragel pregnancies are a thing of magic. If only one person wants it, and the others do not it will not work. I say we trust the magic for now,” Doyle spoke up.

“Does everyone agree?” Salazar asked them all. There were nods or ‘yes, Alpha’ from every one of their bonded. “Harry, are you satisfied with this decision?”

“Yes, Alpha. Thank you for actually taking me seriously instead of dismissing me,” Harry responded.

“Always, Little Snake. You will always be taken seriously and never just dismissed,” Hadrian insisted. Harry snuggled closer to Severus and smiled at his bonded. Man, he loved them all so much.

“How long does it take to travel between here and the Prison Realm?” Harry asked Nefarion.

“That depends on how you travel,” Nefarion answered him. “It took Kyron and I a week because I hired someone who could manipulate time to get us here quicker. But to travel normally from here to there would take about two weeks.”

“That is where Vernon was being sent right?” Harry asked Salazar.

“Yes, that is where he is being sent. He is still enroute, it has only been a week,” Salazar answered.

“Who is Vernon?” Nefarion asked curiously.

“The man I was given to at fifteen months old. He, his wife, and his son, where paid to abuse, starve, and beat me by the headmaster of my old school,” Harry answered. “He had the Karma Curse placed on him and then was sentenced to spend the rest of his life on the Prison Realm.”

“Shame that we missed him. I would have enjoyed getting my hands on him,” Kyron said with a slight growl.

“I will message the Warden and see if we cannot get him a bit of special treatment,” Nefarion stated with a smirk. “The Warden and I are very good friends.”

“That would be most welcome, indeed,” Frost spoke up with a feral grin. Doyle leaned over and nuzzled him.

“My vicious, King,” Doyle praised. Harry purred into Severus’ neck and the Pareya laughed before setting Harry on his feet and nudging him gently toward the Gheyo. Harry crawled into Frost’s lap and let the two of them take turns kissing him.

“I believe it is time to retire for the night,” Salazar stated and stood up pulling Garrick with him. “Today has been a long day and probably much longer for the two of you since you have been traveling for a week.”

“Come on, we can talk about patrol and then I will show the two of you to rooms on the Gheyo floor,” Hadrian offered.

“Sounds good,” Kyron responded.

Harry stood up quickly and hugged Nefarion. The large demon wrapped his arms around the Submissive and nuzzled him gently. Harry smiled. For such a very big man, he was so gentle with Harry. Like he was made of glass.

“I am really glad you’re here,” Harry told Nefarion and tugged him by one of his weapons straps. Then he pressed a quick sweet kiss to his lips and dashed away blushing.

Doyle grabbed him and slung him over his shoulder. Harry squealed and laughed when he was swatted on the bum for wiggling. Frost followed behind the two of them laughing silently.

“He is small, but he is tough. You don’t have to handle him so gently. He won’t break,” Hadrian said to Nefarion as they watched the three of them leave the room.

“I am afraid to hurt him,” Nefarion admitted. “I am not used to handling precious things. I am used to roughing up criminals or brawling with Demons.”

“That fact that you are worried lets us know that you wouldn’t hurt him. You will get more comfortable with him the more time you spend with him,” Wikhn added.

“Let’s talk about patrol,” Zagan said and draped himself over Hadrian.

The Ace simply ignored him. They were all used to the Hellcat draping himself on people and furniture alike. He was also a giant cuddler who was frequently found cuddled up with whomever was sitting still long enough.

“This is how patrol works here….” Hadrian started and explained the rotations. He walked the property line with Kyron and Nefarion to show them where one person’s area ended, and the other’s began. Then they were led to rooms that they could use on the Gheyo floor and told to get some sleep. Hadrian and Wikhn were taking first watch.

“You were quite motivating and wonderful tonight,” Albus stated as he walked away from the run down building they had chosen for their first rally.

“Thank you,” Gellert responded gleefully. “It felt so good to be up there again. Inspiring people to follow. This is going to be so good for us, My Love. Next time I want you on stage with me.”

“Are you sure? You were never one for sharing in the glory back in our youth,” Albus asked with a chuckle. Gellert stopped walking and pulled Albus around to face him.

“In my youth I was stubborn and full of myself. I didn’t want to share in the power that would come from leading. I am older and wiser than I was then. You and I have been together since we were teenagers, Albus. We stronger together and I want the world to know we are strong,” Gellert insisted.

“I don’t know how welcome I would be at your side among these people. I believe having someone unseen behind the scenes is important, but we can find someone else for that,” Albus stated.

He was hoping not to join Gellert on stage. He was still hoping to be seen as a ‘Leader of the Light.’ He wouldn’t be able to do that if he was seen standing next to and supporting A Dark Lord. Gellert chuckled.

“We have someone behind the scenes that we trust, My Love. Septimus does a wonderful job of taking care of things in the shadows. He will continue to do so,” Gellert pointed out.

“You are right, Of Course,” Albus agreed. There wasn’t really a choice here if he didn’t want to make his husband doubt his loyalty. He had not receive anything from Molly, Petunia, or Vernon. And he had not been able to find another way to infiltrate Nevarah.

He had attempted to hunt down Juniper Evanson again to see if he could find a way to manipulate her into taking him to Nevarah, but the woman was gone. She was no longer on Earth. Maybe he could find a way to unseal Lily’s Dragel inheritance or even James’. If he could, surely he would be able to use them somehow to get to Nevarah.

“Come, I have a surprise for you, Albus,” Gellert said. He held out his arm and Albus grabbed hold of it. He let his husband side-along him and when they arrived, Albus was staring at a beautiful mansion surrounded by mountains.

“What is this?” Albus asked.

“Ours,” Gellert answered. “It has been too long since I actually had a home. I have been putting a little money away for us and I purchased this and was having it cleaned up. It is finally done. Our home.”

“It is beautiful, Gellert. Let’s have a look inside shall we?” Albus said with a smile.

He kissed his husband on the cheek and then linked their fingers together. He really did love his husband and the two of them had been together for so long. He knew that Gellert would do anything for him and really it went both ways.

As they walked around the house together, Gellert pointed out all of the little details he had made sure to include because he knew Albus liked them. Maybe, just maybe Albus would get on board with Gellert’s plans and see how things worked out for them. Maybe it would be really nice to rule this world at his husband’s side.

They had discussed the possibility of creating Horcrux and making sure they could rule side by side for a very long time. Albus smiled at Gellert and then pulled him into the Lord’s chambers.

“I think maybe the first thing we should do is christen our new room,” Albus said and vanished their clothes with a wave of his hand. Gellert grinned and followed him down to the bed.

“I think that sounds like a lovely idea,” Gellert agreed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“So Riven and Tavit are going to leave for a few days?” Harry asked.

“Yes, we promised ourselves that we would peak in on the situation on Earth in a month to see if things were being handled appropriately. So, Tavit and Riven are going to go and check things out and then report back,” Salazar informed him.

“Will they be back for introductions? You said it was important for us to walk as a circle,” Harry responded. “The Hunt starts in a little over a week.”

“If they only take a day to look around, then only two will pass here,” Garrick assured him.

“It won’t be like that,” Riven interrupted. He and Tavit were standing in the doorway to Salazar’s office. “Tavit and I are quite skilled at calculating time displacement when we portal. We will make it so that if a day passes there, then a day will also pass here. We will not miss our introductions, Little One.”

“Perfect,” Harry said with a smile. “You will be careful. Dumbledore is a manipulative old man. There is no telling what he has done on Earth to get people on his side. This is a man willing to force a child to kill his own father for no reason that makes sense at all.”

“We promise to be careful. We won’t engage him at all if he is still alive and free,” Tavit stated. “We will observe, gather information, and return home.”

Harry smiled at the two of them and then launched himself into Tavit’s arms. The grumpy Necromancer huffed and held him tightly. Harry nuzzled him and breathed his scent in as deep as he could. He would miss them both. He hated that they were going to Earth. He knew there was no way that Albus Dumbledore was dead or imprisoned. He as afraid for them.

“Hush now, Submissive mine,” Riven said and cupped Harry’s cheek. He looked between the two of them and realized he was crying and that was why Riven was hushing him.

“You are distressed,” Salazar pointed out. “Why?”

“I am afraid,” Harry admitted. “Maybe if the two of you took a Gheyo with you I would feel better. Albus Dumbledore is not dead or imprisoned. I promise you will find him alive and well or alive and fighting. I don’t want either of you to get hurt. He has taken too many people from me already.”

“We will go to Prince Raspen and ask for a few Gheyo to accompany us. Would that make you feel better?” Riven asked.

“You would do that for me?” Harry asked him with a watery smile.

“We would do anything for you. As you are well aware,” Tavit stated with a roll of his eyes. He kissed Harry and then handed him to Riven. Harry nuzzled the Mage and breathed him in just as deeply as he had Tavit.

“I love you both so much,” Harry told them. As Riven sat him on his feet.

“We love you as well, Little Snake. Behave while we are gone, well except when you are visiting with Aiden. Make sure you spread that Chaos around really good and then tell him I said ‘Hi’,” Tavit said with a feral gleam in his eyes.

“I promise I will,” Harry said. Then he buried his face in Salazar’s neck when they left. The Alpha sat down in his desk chair and situated Harry so that he was straddling his lap.

“How about you let me distract you for a bit?” Salazar asked him. Harry grinned at his Alpha and nodded. A distraction sounded really nice. “Good.” The Alpha stated and then pulled Harry forward and claimed his mouth in a devouring kiss. Harry was breathless when his Alpha pulled back and both of them were achingly hard.

“Merlin, you are an amazing kisser,” Harry panted out. Then he reached up and nipped at Salazar’s ear while he started unbuttoning the Alpha’s shirt. Harry kissed and nipped down his jaw and then his neck. He bit into his collar bone and then trailed hot open mouthed kisses down the man’s chest as he revealed it.

Harry slid to the floor once he was finished with the shirt and unbuttoned his Alpha’s pants. Harry grinned when his beautiful, hard cock sprang free. He looked up at his Alpha and held eye contact as he sat up on his knees and licked up his cock from base to tip before wrapping his mouth around it.

“Gorgeous, Harry. You are fucking gorgeous,” Salazar growled out. He gripped the arms of his desk chair so that he didn’t sink his hands into Harry’s hair and thrust up into his throat. This was the first time Harry had done this for him. And he wouldn’t ruin it by being rough.

Harry was pleased with the praise and wrapped both hands around the girth of the member in his mouth as he bobbed his head and worked his tongue. Spit coated the cock and made it much easier for Harry to slide his hands up and down.

He could feel himself getting harder with every grunt and growl that came out of Salazar’s mouth. He had done that. He had reduced his Alpha to inarticulate noises. There was a knock at the door and Harry got a glint in his eyes that Salazar quite liked.

Harry scooted further under the desk and then waved his hand. Salazar’s shirt re buttoned itself and then he motioned for Salazar to scoot up to the desk. The Alpha did as he was told and then Harry wrapped his mouth around the still hard cock and held it there.

“Come in,” Salazar said when he was sure he wouldn’t give anything away with his voice. Harry instantly felt a bit of panic when he realized exactly who had just entered his Alpha’s office.

“Hello, Salazar,” Tom greeted and sat down on the other side of the desk.

“Hey, Sal,” Remus added. Harry didn’t hear him take a seat so he must have stayed standing.

Harry closed his eyes and centered himself so that he didn’t bust out laughing under the desk. This was insane. But he was still going to have fun with it. He rolled his tongue around the still very hard cock in his mouth and started right back where he left off. Alternating between sucking, licking, and stroking.

“Tom, Remus, how are the two of you today?” Harry was impressed with how perfectly composed his Alpha sounded.

“Can’t complain. I wanted to talk to you about accompanying you all when you visit Death’s Court tomorrow,” Tom stated.

Harry hollowed out his cheeks and sunk down until he had nearly the entire length in his mouth. He could feel the tip hitting the back of his throat. He felt Salazar twitch and knock something off the desk.

“Sorry, my hand slipped,” Salazar said with a chuckle and Harry saw the paperweight levitate off the floor and back onto the desk. “You are welcome of course to join us tomorrow. Are all of you going to come?”

“No, probably just Bella, Dolph and myself,” Tom answered.

“Are you alright? You look a bit flush,” Harry heard Remus ask. The Werewolf sounded amused.

“Perfectly fine,” Salazar answered. “I went for a fly earlier and am still a bit sweaty because of it. I was just going to head up for a shower.”

Harry could feel Salazar’s balls drawing up and the cock in his mouth twitching. His Alpha was just on the cusp of orgasm. Harry gripped his thighs, took a deep breath, and relaxed his throat as much as he could, then he swallowed his Alpha until he reached the base.

He felt Salazar stiffen and then held himself in place as his Alpha came hard down his throat. Then he simply laid his head on his thigh and held the softening member in his hand while he licked it clean.

“Oh, well then just one more thing and then I will let you get to it…..” Tom responded.

Harry ignored the rest of what was said because he wasn’t really interested in it at all. What he was interested in was the way his Alpha was surprisingly beginning to stiffen again with his ministrations.

“Well, it was nice to see you both. I am sure it won’t be long until we see each other again,” Salazar bid them farewell.

“Of course, it won’t,” Tom agreed with a chuckle. “We are grateful for all of the time that you have given us with our son. Even though you are still settling in together yourselves.”

“We would do anything for him,” Salazar replied.

“Well, I am going to see Severus for a moment before we leave,” Tom stated. “Coming, Remi?”

“In a moment,” Remus answered. Harry heard the door open and Tom leave the room.

“Is there something I can do for you, Remus?” Salazar answered as Harry took him into his mouth again.

“Yeah, next time, try to remember that Tom wouldn’t find it as amusing as I do that my son is currently under your desk in a most inappropriate position while his father’s were on the other side of the desk,” Remus said with a chuckle.

Harry jumped and banged his head against the top of the desk. Merlin he had forgot had good his dad’s nose was. How embarrassing.”

“Bye, Pup. Have fun,” Remus called out.

“Bye, Dad,” Harry answered. It wasn’t like keeping quiet was an option now. He heard Remus laugh again before he strolled out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Salazar rolled the chair backward and looked down at the blushing Submissive under his desk still. Then the two of them burst into laughter.

“Get up here,” Salazar directed. Harry was grinning from ear to ear as he crawled into Salazar’s lap. He kissed him and all of that laughter quickly turned right back into passion. Harry was still achingly hard despite the embarrassment of the situation.

Salazar vanished their clothes and then sat Harry up on his desk. He placed Harry’s heels on the desk as well so that he was spread wide open for the Alpha. Harry leaned back until he was resting on his elbows and had a perfect view of Salazar as he hovered over his leaking tip.

“My turn,” The Alpha growled and swallowed Harry to the root. Harry had to bite his lip so that he didn’t shout out his pleasure.

Salazar took his time playing with Harry until he had come twice before the Alpha flipped him over and slid home. Harry found that he quite liked being taken over his Alpha’s desk like this. It was rough and dirty and absolutely satisfying.

When they were finally done, Salazar wrapped Harry in blanket that had been laid over the sofa in the room and carried him upstairs to the shower. They showered together and Harry basked in the care that his Alpha showed him. Once he was clean Salazar passed him off to Nefarion who happened to be walking past.

The half Demon looked down at the sleepy Submissive he now cradled in his arms in a princess hold. He looked back up at the Alpha questioningly.

“I think the two of you need some time alone to talk and you both could use a good cuddle. Have fun,” Salazar stated and then patted the Nefarion on the shoulder before walking away.

“Hi, Rion,” Harry said sleepily.

“Hello, Precious One,” Nefarion responded gently.

“There is a room two doors down on the left that no one has claimed. We can cuddle and talk in there if you want to,” Harry offered.

“Alright,” Nefarion agreed and then made his way to the room that Harry had indicated. He gently laid Harry on the bed and then removed all of his weapons and shoes before stretching out next to him.

“Can we talk about our Soulbond?” Harry asked him once he was settled. “Do you want to join my circle?”

“Yes,” Nefarion answered after a moment. “I want to join your circle, if you will have me and I am more than happy to acknowledge our bond. I never imagined actually having a bonded of any kind much less a Submissive as precious as you are. This is more than I ever thought I deserved.”

Harry turned toward the man and then released a heartcry that Nefarion returned. They exchanged Claim marks. Nefarion’s was a bit different from his other bonded. It was, instead of a circle, a band that encircled his forearm and carried some of the same glyphs that were in Nefarion’s markings.

“Is this because you are part Demon?” Harry asked as he ran his fingers across the pretty, deep, red markings.

“Yes,” Nefarion answered. “Does it bother you that it is different?”

“Not even a little,” Harry said with a smile. “Can we cuddle for a bit? I am a little tired and would really like for you to hold me.”

“Yes,” Nefarion agreed and wrapped his arms securely but carefully around Harry. The Submissive was asleep before he had time to properly settle. It was really nice and Nefarion vowed not to move an inch so that he didn’t disturb the precious bundle in his arms. He would never in a million years feel like he deserved this. But he would do nothing to ruin it.

Life could be good here for him and he was going to make sure that nothing threatened it.
