Hey,

I'm incredibly sorry I haven't updated. I feel terrible, so, so sorry. Please enjoy!

Chapter 7

Sun fell through the high stain glass windows, casting coloured shadows across the ground. The sound of birds broke the silence and cast a peaceful aura across the extensive gardens. Together, Theo and Lucas sat at the stone table in the gardens, Theo's cult crazed followers and servants standing back, while Lucas' pet wolves lay at his feet.

It had been nearly two weeks since Theo had married Prince Sinclair and truthfully it felt strange. The Senet visitors hadn't left yet and Theo was still begging Draco to take him back to Senet, which so far hadn't worked.

The new Prince of Dehyvn found that, although not to his surprise, most of the Dehyvns despised him and generally didn't trust him. He had kept up an image of the perfect partner for the Prince, spending most of his time with Gabriel and Lucas and generally avoiding Sinclair.

The two were talking about the upcoming festival when Pollux made his appearance. Theo had gotten along surprisingly well with Pollux, who was the closest thing he had to a friend here.

"Pol!" Lucas grinned, jumping up and hugging the older boy.

Pollux laughed and hugged back, ruffling Lucas' hair. "Hey, Luke, your mum wants to see you."

Lucas nodded. "Bye Pol, bye Theo!" He ran off down the path, weaving through the carefully arranged plants and trees, his wolves following in his wake.

When Lucas was gone Pollux took his vacant seat and stole the last of his bread. Theo smiled at him, setting down his glass. "What's going on?"

Pollux shrugged. "Nothing much, besides the fact that the Sent party are leaving."

"What? When?" Theo demanded, jumping to his feet.

Pollux blinked in confusion. "Soon, they're about to head out."

Before Pollux had finished his sentence Theo was running from the gardens, taking the wide, steep steps two at a time and bursting into the main hall.

"Draco!" He called, his cry echoing off the wall as he sprinted for the open entrance doors.

Maids and servants alike, leapt aside at the rampaging Senet. He ran down the front steps and bowled into the unsuspecting arms of Draco. The blonde stumbled back and tripped, falling onto the floor with a THUMP, Theo sprawled out on top of him.

"Theo, what are you doing?" Draco wheezed, a smile on his face as Theo sat up and hit him lightly.

"You were going to leave without saying goodbye?" Theo sniffed.

"I'm sorry Theo." Draco tucked a loose strand of Theo's hair behind his ear and kissed his cheek. "You'll like it here, I promise. Sin will take care of you."

Theo scoffed. "I want to go home. Sinclair is just using me like everyone else."

"And how do you know that? Have you shared a bed yet?"

"Well…no." Theo admitted, thinking back over his first night together with his husband.

The room was half darkened and from the balcony Theo could still faintly hear the noise of the party in the gardens. The air was cold against his face, tugging at his clothes. He had changed from his wedding clothes and into looser, more comfortable clothing.

Behind him he heard the bathroom door open and the sound of bare feet against the carpeted floor. Theo pulled away and headed back through the silken curtains and into his Husband's rooms. Sinclair, himself, was seated at the foot of his bed, wearing nothing more then his sleeping clothes, which only consisted of the bottoms. His muscled chest gleamed in the half light and Theo turned away, studying the rest of the room.

"So how did you like the wedding?" Sinclair asked, drawing Theo's attention back to him.

"It was nice." Theo tried to keep the smug smirk out of his voice. He had gotten one up on the Lords and made his in-laws squirm.

"Yea." Sinclair laid back down, tucking his folded arms under his head.

Theo sat down on one of the plush chairs, sitting into the soft cushions. "You seem a lot less araogant then from when we were children."

"People change." The Prince shrugged.

Theo sighed, wishing they could cut pleasantries and get this night over with. It looked like Sinclair wasn't going to make the first move so it was up to Theo.

"So…this is our wedding night."

Sinclair nodded and sat up. "We don't have to do anything, if you don't want."

Theo blinked in surprise. "What?"

"Well I don't want to do anything that'll make you uncomfortable." Sinclair shrugged, not looking at Theo.

Theo frowned. Maybe Sinclair had a lover? The thought was possible, they had been engaged for years, not seeing each other and living on opposite sides of Random.

Theo nodded. "Good night then." He left, smirking to himself. If he found his husband's lover, he would have something against him.

Theo pulled back into reality. Of course he hadn't found any lover of Sinclair's, although he had originally suspected Pollux, until he found out he was married. He still had no idea who it could be and Sinclair wasn't letting anything go.

Draco climbed to his feet, pulling Theo up with him. "I'll miss you Theo, but I'll see you next summer when you come to Senet." They hugged again briefly. "Be good."

"Aren't I always?" Theo chuckled, holding back tears.

He knew once he was married he was going to be alone, he just didn't realize how much it was going to hurt. He still had Blaise, which was a plus.

Draco glanced over Theo's shoulder and smiled. "I better go before Sin beats me up for flirting with you." He teased.

Theo made a face but let Draco go, watching him climb into the carriage. He sighed and felt more then saw, Blaise come up beside him and wrap an arm around his shoulder.

"I'll protect you with my life, princess." Blaise whispered.

Theo glared at him but did nothing else. Appreciating the comfort his guard friend offered.

'I guess my plans are going into action now.' Theo mused. 'Now I need to find two noblemen powerful but easy to manipulate.'

It was easier to forget pain when you were plotting.

Next chapter will be Harry again, and he'll meet Draco. Please REVIEW and thank you everyone! Not much to explain really.

With love,
