Lucius held him. Long fingers carefully stroking his cheek, temple to chin, thumb following the contours of his lips. Looking deep into his eyes as he cupped his face. Eyes that brimmed with tears that Harry had thought cried out. Lucius licked the salty, bitter tears off his fingertips. Lifted his Chosen higher, closer and kissed his wet cheek.
The kisses were not kisses of passion. The kisses were kisses of love. Harry knew it. He felt it. He didn\'t question it. But, then why had Lucius gone to another? Not hiding it, but out in the open, where all the pride might see his infidelity. He hadn\'t sneaked. He\'d done it, as if it didn\'t matter that he had. Where Harry could witness it. Where it could cut his heart out.
Harry clung to the king. He sobbed. This was not fair. No matter how strong he was, he was not stronger than his heart\'s need for love. Under Lucius\' touch he was helpless. His body screamed for Lucius. His body was willing to endure all to keep him. His heart crumbled.
\"Harry.\" A whisper, soft and tender sound, then lips ghosted over his face. To his own mouth, all twisted with pain. Kissed him.
\"Please let me go.\" He begged, while clinging harder, ensuring that Lucius could not set him free. \"Why am I not enough?\"
\"You are enough, Harry.\" Lucius told him. Not loosening the hold he had. \"You are loved and wanted and needed here.\"
\"But, why do you want them? If I am enough?\" Harry demanded. Anguished. \"If I am enough, then get rid of them!\"
\"I am king. They are mine, to love and care for. As I love and care for my son, you, Graeme, Amrys, the unborn heir. Each of you. Some I take to my furs, others I do not. My life belongs to the pride. And the pride gives me what I need.\" Lucius said after a minute. He tightened his hold around the shaking boy.
\"Be their king. But be my lover. Please.\" Harry pleaded. \"Why are you casting me aside? I gave you everything. I let you...\" He couldn\'t say it. Not aloud. Not now. But he thought it,...Lucius, he was my first. I did for him what I never even thought of doing for another man.
\"I am your lover.\" Lucius\' rich voice offered him soothing words. \"You have my heart.\"
\"I saw you! I saw you with Troy! How can you be my lover and make love to him?\" Harry groaned.
\"He is one of my kittens. He is mine to take and to care for. He is mine to take pleasure with. He is not my lover. You, I have taken to my bed. Haven\'t you heard? I have accepted you where none of my ancestors have taken their kittens or their lovers. I am the only one in our history who has taken a kitten, and allowed that kitten to tell all who will listen that I am his lover.\"
\"I saw you.\" Harry cried out. He pounded at Lucius\' chest. \"I saw. I saw!\"
\"Have you heard nothing I said?\" Lucius asked sadly. He smoothed the damp tendrils of dark hair back off Harry\'s face.
\"They are words, just...\" Harry insisted. Lucius put a finger over his mouth stopping the flow of accusations.
\"Stop. Foolish boy. Do you think I say these same words to every one? Do I call everyone my lover? Who else have I brought to my bed? How often have I cast you out so I can bring others into my furs? Never have I done that to you.\" Lucius said with a growl.
\"I don\'t want to share my lover! If I can\'t be the only one, then let me go!\"
Lucius drew back. Harry dug his fingers into the big man\'s arms, holding with desperate strength. Preventing Lucius from getting free of him. The man made no real effort. He sat, calmly, sadly. Looking down at the wretched youth in his arms. Wondering how things had come to this.
The silence stretched.
\"He has told you, you are first. And all you can ask is why you are not the only.\" Graeme was the one who broke the silence. \"You take the honor he has given you and throw it back in his face. We are not humans! Our king is not some Muggle to be coerced with sex and threats into denying his needs, denying the pride and the needs of the pride. Yet, you ask it of him as if it is nothing. You ask him to become human, to abandon our laws, our way of life.\"
Graeme slowed, shook his head, took a steadying breath. Then started up again. He fixed Harry with his large, dark, expressive eyes. Lucius\' palm cradled Harry\'s cheek.
\"You disagree. Therefore our laws are worthless. We should discard them. You came to us. You were changed. You belong to the pride. *We* do not belong to the world you left when you came here. There are traditions passed down, ways of doing things among us. I tried to tell you. I tried to show you your place. I tried to take care of a kitten who was wandering lost. Who refused direction. And you did not listen. You defied me. The pride\'s third. Defied by a mere kitten.\"
Graeme sneered, stopped, gathered himself, before resuming. His face blazed.
\"My king asked me to think long on the words I would say. He told me not to speak with rash anger. He told me to speak wise counsel, not heated words. He reminded me that you are mine to care for, that you are mine to love as a member of my pride. Your well-being is my responsibility. It is my place to encourage you, teach you, as well as punish you. I can not do just one of those things, if I do only one, then I have failed you, I have failed the entire pride.\"
\"So, listen to what I have to say to you. Know I have considered these words, and that they are from my heart to you.\" The tall, elegant were-leopard said as he came to stand in front of the kitten held in his king\'s arms....
