Tossed aside for his sexual preferences, a young lord is abandoned by his family. But, he isn't alone for long as a towering, rather intimidating and...handsome man happens upon him at the lowest point in his life. However, this man doesn't look upon him with judgment in his eyes. There is a sort of unspoken sympathy, and it shows itself well enough when he is swept off his feet and taken to the man's home. Untouched, unjudged and given a place to stay, this young lord will come to find he's been given a second chance. But he's afraid.
Of what?
(This story is based on a character introduced in 'The Beauty of Coincidence'. You don't need to read that one, but a piece of useful information would be that Edgar works for someone named Norman Ramsey, a man who has accepted that his own son is gay (he is not homophobic even though it's the 1820s, and Edgar is extremely loyal to the name of Ramsey). Enjoy!)

No Better Than The Beasts
(Completed MXM) In a kingdom of wolves, a prince dwells with an unappealing attitude and a way of distancing himself from anything that deals with 'love'.

But what happens when the snarky, harsh prince meets his soulmate? What happens when he learns that his 'destined love' is a werewolf? (Not as cliche as you think. Or at least I try to make it different.) {Ranked #6 in malexmale}<---Still unbelievableComplete![Before I Say I Do [18+][BXB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/394700394-256-k654025.jpg)

During the war, the Bird had been unwilling to let go of Louie; after the war, Louie was unable to let go of the Bird." -Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War Two Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption.

All throughout the years of being together, no matter what it was about, Noah really didn't think that he'd end up feeling how he did when his best friend ends up naked in his bed. Let me rephrase that: his male best friend. They've done it three times. And most of the human beings wondering around this sphere of an Earth tend to say: third one's a charm. And to add on top of that, Noah, is one oblivious player. So, what did the two best friends do three times? Why? Last, but not least, how are they going to get past it? Because the third brings sparks, fireworks, butterflies and all those shit the girls used to talk about during their high school days. --- This short story is MxM, written by the author in inspiration of the three pink hearts in chat boxes she saw while browsing through pictures. If you don't like two man liking each other, being together, having sex together and everything to do with homosexual stuff, then leave. This contains mature language, mature content and one oblivious player who the author has no idea how she's going to make him realize shit in a few chapters.
