I laid my head back letting my mind settle. In the hour or so I've been plotting, nothing I had come up with had seemed fitting nor satisfying enough. Perhaps I should take a nap and sleep on it, but first the dogs needed to be let out. As I walked through the house I could hear the dogs worrying about what would happen not that their master was dead and gone. Some was sure it would be a trip to the pound for them as the kid is a kid as humans go but was an alpha of all alphas as far as Ralph was concerned.

"Hello my pups, how's it going?" Ralph was quick to come to me being very playful. You could see pure love and loyalty in his eyes. "hey there Ralph, hope all is well , sorry if I scared y'all cause truth be known I kind a scared myself. Who knew I was such a freak?"

"Alpha, no worries, we are all glad he is gone. There is some concern as to what becomes of us?"

"Well, I have set things in motion so that everything that was his is now mine. So if you want to stay you can or I can find a home for you if you don't wish to stay. Please know though. I will say that the pound is not an option even if you wanted to go there." I knelt down and gave Ralph a hug and a good rub behind the ears.

The other dogs approached cautiously and introduced themselves formally. There was another Doberman named Rex, a white English Bull dog named Clarabella or Bell for short, and a Pit-bull named Charlie. I found it interesting that Charlie and Rex were pretty much a couple and Ralph and Clarabella we a couple though Rex and Ralph played together as well. I had never thought of human dynamics applying to animals but I guess that shows how arrogant humans truly are. They are animals that pretend they are not like a blade of grass pretending it is not a plant. Humans seem to be that blade of grass thinking it was a tree. How silly is that?

Over the course of the evening we all became good friends. We played and chased each other till we were all exhausted. I was going to sleep on the floor as I was not used to a bed nor was I ever allowed in one but the gang, however, would not have it since I was alpha I should have every comfort, including the soft bed they were also denied. So I made a deal I would sleep in the king sized bed if they did. Once it was settled I went to take a shower and then off to bed we went.

I was overwhelmed with the softness and comfort of the bed. I mean it was like I died and went to heaven. I got comfy and as I was nearing sleep I was wondering if I would dream of HIM again. Who was he and why did I need him? I had so many questions but the comfort quickly won me over as I drifted off to sleep

I was standing in the same clearing by the lake under the moon but I did not see him. My heart sank for he was the beauty of this place without him here this place seemed less magical. I decided on a swim in the crystal clear lake that had a surface like a mirror. As I neared the water it started to move and shift slightly and ripples started to travel across the surface. I came to a complete stop. The nails on my hands began extending in to razor sharp claws that were black and hard as diamonds. I was preparing to defend myself from the unknown disturbance when HE walked out of the water. My claws retracted back to human nails as I sprint towards him. I had to be with him! My soul ached for HIM! The distance could not be covered quick enough. He smiled as he seen me and in sprinted to me. We impacted at full speed embracing in a hug that would make a bears hug weak.

"It's you, my blue eyed angel. You have come back to me." I did not give him a chance to speak as my lips met his with such hunger one my think I was trying to consume his soul. Luckily for me he returned my kiss with equal passion. Just having him this close brought me to a full erection and on the brink of cumming.

He broke the kiss and spoke softly. "My Love, I have longed for you." His voice was deep, rich, and melodious which sent me over the edge, I was cumming and when he seen me he started coming as well.

As our orgasms faded I smiled and embraced him as we lay on the soft moss near the lake. I whispered, "My Love? I like the sound of that. Though we just met I feel as though we have lived together as a couple for eternity and been separated for a few thousand years and yet I don't know your name." I leaned back so he could see the smile on my face. Then leaned in a lightly kissed the tip of his nose bringing a bigger smile to his face.

"My love, I feel the same and it is because we are what some call birth mates. As for my name, I am Jasper, Jasper Alexander Gibaldi the III."

"Heheee, My JAX. You are quite formal almost regal when you say that." I lean in for another kiss but shocked when I am pushed away.

"You know you have me at a disadvantage now for you know my name but alas I don't know yours."

" Gee, I am sorry Jax. You don't mind me calling you Jax do you Jasper?"

Jasper smiled shaking his head softly, "No, I think is rather cute." He kissed my lips gently.

"Sweet, now while I would love to hear you call me, My love, for the rest of my life, fair is fair. I am afraid I don't have much to offer though. My Name is Stephen but I do not know my true last name but have survived under the Garrets." Tears started to run down my cheek as feeling such love I now felt and realizing what I was deprived of for so long. Jasper was quick to comfort me.

As I embraced Stephen his entire life flashed before me every memory, all the torture, Pain, abuse, every rape, and all the emotion. I started crying not just with him but for him. Slowly a dark anger started to rise within me as I remembered my parent and caretaker had something to do with this. However that could be dealt with later now my Stephen needed me. "Babe, it's going to be ok. No one can harm you again. Your Mine and I will not permit it. Personally I want to avenge you but I know you will want that pleasure for yourself. I can suggest a few things to help in your revenge. I am sending a tracker and caretaker to you that are vampire, and yes, we do exist like you are werewolf. Our blood will heal them as long as there is life left in the brain and with a little of your blood mixed in you can rip them to shreds they can regenerate. In four hours you can do it again till you tire of it. Then you can kill them or sell them into slavery like you where to them."

I knew he read my mind and could tell the love he had for me by his reaction. I liked his plan but could not answer him through the tears so I tightened my embrace an buried my face in his chest and nodded in agreement.

We remained like this for what seemed like hours. We reached a point that there were no tears left to cry and no pain left. We kissed and cuddled for a bit then Jax whispered "There is a puzzle piece I can give you. Your last name is Capetian. " He stated tracing my sapphire tattoo with his fingers. "This wolf moon and tribal markings is your family crest and this glyph is my family crest." Jasper smiled at me as he undid his robe and I seen the emerald equivalent on his chest. "You see babe, we bear each other's mark as a crest."

I was in awe of this angel that had answers I needed. A single tear slid down my cheek. Seeing the concern in his face I stated, "It is a shame, that this is a dream. I want nothing more than to hold you in my arms for real"

"My love, this is dream fasting where our souls connect. It is very real just not physical. Now the tracker and caregiver should be there in an hour or so. Hide your crest from them as my father has trackers looking for you but I do not trust his intent as of yet. When They state `we come on behalf of thy beloved' reply `whose nickname is' and they should reply with the one you gave me , Jax. Only then can you show the crest and invite them in. They will keep you safe and will help you. When the time is right they will arrange our meeting. I hate to go but we have been here too long" he kissed me and vanished.

I rubbed my eyes and set up in bed. Man did I need to piss. I went to pull back the blanket to find it was glued to me with dried cum. I slowly pulled it free and raced to the bathroom. I pissed for 5 minutes non-stop, and then jumped into the shower as I smelled rank. I was tempted to rub one out but remember Jasper said something about someone being here in a hour so decided best to wait.

After my shower, I decided to check the doctor's email. I was surprised at the amount of emails then started looking at the dates. Seemed like I had slept 5 days but this could not be could it? There was email s from the lawyers and CPA acknowledging that everything was in order and included a PDF of the official documents. Which I printed a copies for my records.

I decided to check on the dogs as I had not heard them yet. I took a deep breath and the smell of dog shit and piss was pungent coming from the basement, When I arrived I seen them sleeping in the kennel and they had made use of the indoor dog walk. Thank god for automated feeders because I would have been upset if something happened to them because of me. I grabbed the hose and started spraying down the area. I was shortly thereafter that I was tackled by four loving dogs thankful I was finally awake.

I went back upstairs slipped on a robe, was reminiscing on the dream when the dogs started barking. I looked outside and the sun was still up so could not be the vampires could it? After all it was all a dream, right?

I made sure to have underwear and a robe so my crest was covered just in case. The dogs were going crazy so I was quick to get downstairs. Before I got to the stairs I smelled an earthen smell mixed with suntan lotion . This did not make since being it was January after all. I look through the peep hole to see 2 guys in their 20's in black polo's and slacks.

Without opening the door I asked, "Can I help you?"

"We are here to see Stephen Capetian on personal business."

"What is it you need?"

We can only discuss that with him, Is he Home?

"Master Stephen is gone at the moment, and will return in 5 days. Perhaps you can come back then?" I only hoped the believed me.

"Very well, we will slip a business card under the door you can have him call us."

The Card was blood red with silver trim and silver print. I started to pick it up but thought about silver and werewolfs in the movies so I left it. I went to the kitchen for some water when there was another knock at the door. Another set of guys in their 20's but in jeans and tee shirts and similar smells

"Can I help you?"

"We come on behalf of thy beloved"

Could this be real? Truly this was more than a dream, which means I may actually see Jasper, my Jax. I replied "whose nickname is"

In unison the reply was "Jax."

I dismissed the dogs then I opened the door, revealed the crest, and invited them in. Once the door was closed they were both on bended knee. "I pledge by all that is sacred, my service, my will, and my life to you Lord Capetian, till death take me I am in your service for eternity and longer. My Lord do you accept my pledge?" I was taken aback not sure what to make of it but decided to go along with it as I was told they would be here and responded as foretold.

"I accept your pledge"

The first one stood and touched my crest then showed me the bottom side of his wrist. A miniature of my crest appeared in platinum with a sapphire and a emerald bar below the crest. The second was the same but rather than bars it was 3 chevrons ( ^ ) above the crest, 2 emerald chevrons with a sapphire chevron in between the 2 emerald ones.

Apparently seeing the confusion that no doubt was showing on my face the one with the 2 bars spoke. "Lord Capetian, I am Sebastian Ta'Lorn and this is Anniston Williams. We have just entered your service till death. Should you die we also die with you and are bound to you and your birth mate for all eternity. If we die it will not cause you to die. You are now our life source. Beings you were kept by humans there is much of our world you are yet unaware of and it is my Job as caretaker or supporter, thus the bars under the crest, to bring you up to speed on history, customs, and understanding who you are. I suppose you can say I am like a head butler as I will be over all support staff from here on. Anniston here is you chief protector and responsible for your safety and all security where you and your birth mate are concerned. The Chevrons denote his status as tactical advisor. I am aware you have dream fasted the last several days and feel rested but I must insist you go to bed. We will secure the property for your safety, I have lesson plans to draw up and you need to regenerate your energy. I will go shopping and pick up so new foods you will need, So good night to you."

I was not give the option to object and any questions I tried to ask I was told I would find out soon enough but sleep first. I laid down and as soon as my head hit the pillow I started drifting to sleep, it seem bonding someone while so young take a lot of energy. I drifted off to a pleasant sleep. I dreamt of my Jax but it was not dream fasting...
