This story is fiction. None of the characters are based on real people.

This story takes place in the same universe as my stories Plan of the Shusheen, Son of a Wolf, Being Pack, Protecting Pack, and A Winding Path. It is a sequel to Protecting Pack and A Winding Path. You should read those two stories before you read this one. Plan of the Shusheen explains how three genetically-engineered shifter races were created.

Warning: this story contains incest scenes.

Ten

Alephin, Rince, and a naked, hairy, very muscular man the size of Alephin walked into the pool room. Bobby gasped. This was Nelson. Nelson was one of the most handsome men he'd ever seen. Bobby couldn't take his eyes off him. And considering the fact that Alephin was naked and standing next to him, that was remarkable. Nelson ran up to him, picked him up, and swung him around. The grinned at each other. 'He's my mate!', they both thought simultaneously.

Bobby looked at the gray hair on the sides of his head. It looked so distinguished. Nick hated his gray hair, even though Bobby liked it. He felt the man's stubbled cheek. Hairy. Hot. Perfect.

Nelson realized that just his cheek had increased Bobby's already intense lust for him. But that was how it should be.

"Wow! Nelson?" Bobby said.

"It's me, Bobby! No wonder I liked you so much on the phone."

"Damn, do you smell good!"

Bobby felt like a doll, as Nelson clutched him to his hairy, muscular chest. Bobby's feet were a couple of feet off the ground. Bobby nuzzled Nelson's shoulder, smelling him. Bobby rubbed his stiff cock against Nelson's mature, hairy body. Nelson loved that without thinking. It caused precum to shoot out of Nelson's cock and splatter on the tile floor.

"Oh, fuck!" Alephin said, as he watched Nelson effortlessly lift Bobby in the air and then smell the boy's crotch. More precum shot out of Nelson's cock.

Bobby saw Jack and Tom walking away quickly. Nelson's back was to them. They left the pool room. That was odd.

Nelson lowered Bobby a little. Bobby wrapped his legs around Nelson's waist, making them both smile at each other.

"Wow!" Bobby said, grinning.

Nelson grinned. "You said that."

"Oh my god! You're so hot!" Bobby said.

Bobby saw Alephin frowning.

"What's wrong, Alephin? Everything feels great to me!" Bobby said.

Nelson grinned.

"You weren't a thousandth as handsome on FaceTime. I need a new phone," Bobby said to Nelson.

Nelson grinned.

"I wasn't your mate, then," Nelson said.

Bobby smiled, shyly. Nelson felt his heart explode and then reassemble.

"But I'll buy you a new phone," Nelson said. "I'll buy you fifty."

Nelson put Bobby down. Bobby leaned forward and smelled Nelson's chest. He closed his eyes and smiled. Nelson smelled incredible. He wrapped his arms around Nelson and looked up at him. Nelson looked very happy. Bobby sniffed something wonderful. He bent down and realized it was Nelson's cock. It had an exquisite odor of it's own. Nelson groaned as Bobby took a deep sniff of his crotch. He looked back up at Nelson.

"I was expecting you to be in an expensive suit," Bobby said.

Nelson grinned. "Alephin said it would make you uncomfortable, that he left you naked. Are you disappointed?"

Bobby laughed. "Oh, yeah. Don't all gay men hate looking at hot, muscular studs with incredible cocks?"

Nelson was pleased.

"Some don't like a lot of body hair," Nelson said.

"I sure do!"

And Nelson believed him. Bobby's lust saturated the air around them. Nelson hugged Bobby.

"Rince, get Bobby's mates," Alephin said.

Nelson took Bobby's hand and kissed it. Bobby giggled. Nelson thought it was adorable.

Bobby looked Nelson over. Bobby wrapped both hands around Nelson's cock. "I love your cock!" Bobby said. Nelson grinned. "It looks just like Alephin's." Nelson's grin disappeared. "I really, really love it!" Nelson grinned, again.

Nelson looked over at Alephin. Alephin wasn't erect, but their cocks were very similar. It was strange. He wondered if Maria found it amusing. But she was very fond of his cock. She must have been as pleased as Bobby seemed to be that they were similar. That was another sign of a strange connection with Alephin—two different lovers would share their cocks.

Nelson gasped when Bobby began feeling him all over. Nelson shuddered in pleasure when his mate's hand brushed one of his nipples. Bobby noticed Nelson had sensitive nipples and looked forward to play and maybe chewing on them.

"You're going to make me come!" Nelson said.

"It's my new hobby!"

Nelson laughed. Bobby was delightful!

"I'm not too old for you?"

"You are absolutely fucking perfect!" Bobby said. "Oh, fuck! I love your muscles. I love everything about you!" Bobby pressed his face to Nelson's chest and sniffed. Then he smelled Nelson's cock, again, which excited Nelson even more. The wonderful scents made Bobby shiver. "I can't wait to eat your ass," Bobby said, shocking, but thrilling Nelson.

"I can't wait to eat yours, Bobby."

Bobby grinned.

"Bobby, I have a lot of old-fashioned ideas. I'll try to shed them as quickly as I can, but please be patient. For example, for hundreds of years, I thought sodomizing a man was the worst thing you could do to him, worse than torturing him, worse than killing him." Nelson saw the shocked expression on Bobby's face.

"Bobby, that wasn't unique. Sodomizing men was a torture in many prisons. Men felt it stole their masculinity," Alephin said. Nelson was grateful for, and yet resented Alephin's help.

"Will you try to be patient?" Nelson asked.

"You are going to sodomize me, aren't you?" Bobby asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

Nelson laughed.

"Constantly, I hope."

Bobby grinned.

"Those prison guards must not have rubbed the prisoners' prostates with their cocks while they were fucking them," Bobby said.

"Damn! That would have really hurt," Nelson said.

"No. It would have given the prisoners intense orgasms," Bobby said.

Nelson was shocked. "Is that true?" Nelson asked Alephin.

"Yes," Alephin said. "And some guards probably found that out accidentally. But of course, that would have made it worse for the prisoners."

"That's true. It would have been far more humiliating," Nelson said.

Alephin nodded.

Bobby watched his other mates walk up.

"Where did Jack and Tom go?" Bobby asked.

"They didn't want Nelson to think they were his mates, too," Alephin said.

Bobby suddenly understood. "Oh!"

Bobby looked at Nelson, who didn't seem to care.

Nelson didn't care. What would he do with three mates? He wanted Bobby and Bobby wanted him. That was how it should be.

"Nelson, this is my mate and stepfather, Nick Kostas. This is his son, Chris, and his other son, Nicky. They are also my mates. This is Lobo, who I think you've met, and Ed. They are also my mates."

Nelson didn't say anything. Bobby looked up at Nelson's face. He looked resigned. Sad. Definitely not happy.

"What's wrong?" Bobby asked.

"I don't think Nelson ever thought he would have to share his mate," Alephin said. "Vin-Ta don't. Normally."

Nelson shook his head. "No. I assumed my mate would only have eyes for me."

Bobby felt sad about that. He could understand. He never intended to have multiple lovers. It just happened.

"I'm sorry, Nelson. Maybe you also have a normal Vin-Ta mate. I got the impression I'm not a Vin-Ta. If you decide you just want me to give you a pup..."

"No, Bobby. A normal Vin-Ta couldn't promise me a pup. I just—"

Bobby hugged Nelson.

You are a fool, Nelson told himself. Your mate is wonderful! You just have to adjust. Again. You've spent your whole long life adjusting to a constantly changing world.

"I love you," Nelson whispered in Bobby's ear. Nelson groaned as Bobby wrapped his hand around Nelson's erection. Bobby's hand wasn't large enough to wrap around it fully. That thrilled Bobby and Nelson could smell how Bobby's lust intensified.

Bobby looked up at him with love. Nelson fell more deeply in love.

"Accepting your mates and getting my pack to accept your mates are two different things, unfortunately," Nelson said. "I really...have no idea what to do about that."

"You have a lot of old-timers who aren't going to like the idea of a male mate," Alephin said. Nelson grew angry. He forced himself to calm down. It was a simple statement of fact, and something he would absolutely have to address.

"Nelson, I'm not saying this as any kind of attack, but if those people think you are having gay orgies with your mate and his lovers..." Alephin said.

Nelson grew infuriated. He closed his eyes and forced himself to be calm. Again, it was true. A male mate was one thing. A group of men having constant sex with his mate was another.

"You are pointing out the obvious," Nelson said. "Why don't you point out some solutions?"

"As a friend? Are we friends?" Alephin asked.

"How can we be?"

"Are we competitors?" Alephin asked. "We compete for nothing. Hopefully, you will be able to identify males who can get pregnant, by scent. Then your pack will have pups in addition yours. Maybe we competed for Tom and Jack. But Bobby is your mate. Is there still a competition?"

Nelson looked at Rince, who looked adoringly at Alephin, his father and mate. It seemed perverted. He'd known siblings who were mates, but that was very different from a father sodomizing his son thirty times a day. But from Rince's expression, it seemed Rince felt the mating bond for his father. Nelson had always felt Alephin was using his son, just because his son was fertile and could have pups. Nelson frowned when Alephin took Rince's hand and kissed it. That was an act of affection and love. They loved each other, apparently deeply. Nelson was very confused. He had never lusted after a male before. But he lusted intensely for Bobby. If he discovered that Bobby was really his son, could he ignore his lust for Bobby, especially if Bobby craved him just as intensely? Could he reject Bobby because he was his son? The rare cases of rejected mates usually ended in suicide. It wasn't an easy question to answer. And back on the subject of sodomy, Alephin impregnated his son through his ass. That meant that in some sense, Rince's ass could be thought of as a cunt, just as Bobby's could. If the Shusheen intended males to be capable of pregnancy, they must have intended for them to be fucked in the ass. Their asses would have been designed for it. They weren't pussies, but they were fuck holes. Sodomy was a perversion, wasn't it? But how could it be perverted to have sex the way their designers intended? It wasn't. It couldn't be. He'd been wrong, and as painful as it was to admit, Alephin had been right. He'd taken the mate the Shusheen intended and he'd had sex and pups with him the way the Shusheen intended. Nelson's father had belonged to a religion that seemed to have disappeared. Members of that religion believed the Shusheen were gods who were displeased with humans and made Vin-Ta to replace them. Nelson had a fleeting thought that perhaps it was true. Alephin pleased the gods for doing as they intended, and not caring what others thought. As a result, they blessed him with two mates, many pups over the years, and as many more pups as he wanted. No. That was dumb. The Shusheen weren't gods. Legend said they were very clear about denying that. One thing was certain: Alephin didn't give a fuck what other people thought of him. Nelson needed some of that attitude to deal with his pack, once they found out about Bobby—and Bobby's mates. He needed Alephin's opinion. He hated that he needed it, but he did. He and Alephin had already had Maria in common. Now they seemed to have much more in common. No one but Alephin knew much about Bobby's race, about Vin-Ta males who could become pregnant, about having a gay mate, or about how to get that gay mate pregnant.

"I suppose the competition is over," Nelson said. "I'll be honest, Alephin. I have no idea what to do. I would like your advice."

Alephin looked shocked. Nelson had to laugh.

"It hurts to ask, believe me!"

Nelson groaned as Bobby took his balls in his two hands. He groaned again, as his mate's tongue lapped the sack. It suddenly struck Nelson how completely he'd changed in just a few moments. He was having gay sex in front of Alephin! The idea didn't upset him! If Bobby began sucking his cock, he wouldn't stop him. If Bobby wanted him to fuck him, right there, he would. He then realized it was because his wolf was proud of Bobby. His wolf wanted Alephin (and everyone else) to know how much his mate wanted him.

"Here are some options off the top of my head," Alephin said. "Option one: abandon the pack." Nelson gasped and grew angry. "Wait, Nelson. Raise pups instead. Have as much sex as you want. You've worked your whole life. Why not take a few decades off and have some fun? Do you really want to leave your pups and your horny young mate to listen to pack members argue about unimportant things that absolutely aren't urgent? Option two: introduce Bobby as your mate and claim the Kostas are his family and Lobo and Ed are private guards. That will be hard to pull off. It means all of you have to be good actors. Bobby will probably acquire more mates. That will complicate things. But you can train the new mates as guards and introduce them as more guards.

Rince chuckled.

"Bobby, would you consider giving Nelson twins for your first pregnancy?" Rince asked. Nelson gasped.

"I can do that?" Bobby asked, surprised.

"Yes. I had twins," Rince said. "I think it proved to a lot of doubters that Alephin was right. It said, 'I know how to have as many pups as I want. Who else knows that? You may not like how I do it, but my method works. In fact, it's the only certain way to have pups. Look at my pups, if you don't believe."

Nelson thought about that.

"Is it a lot more difficult? Twins?" Bobby asked.

"No," Rince said.

"I'll do it, Nelson," Bobby said.

Nelson was filled with love for his mate. He was certainly worth any trouble.

Nelson had to admit that option one held a certain appeal. A pack was a surrogate family, in a way. Did he need a surrogate family anymore? He enjoyed challenges, and running a pack was a challenge. Did he want to spend hours a day on pack business, when he could be spending them with Bobby? And he couldn't continue working the way he was and run the pack. Just board meetings kept him busy. It wouldn't leave him nearly enough time to spend with his mate. Why had he tried to stay so busy? Because he had very little personal life. That had certainly changed! And another thing: how would he keep from killing pack members who insulted his mate? Some were bound to do so. He had the right to do it, but there were always legal complications. The law didn't recognize Vin-Ta Alpha rights.

"Maybe I should just give it up—the pack. I do want to spend most of my time with Bobby."

Alephin nodded. "And your two pups."

"Of course!"

"I can understand that, Nelson, but it would be difficult to reverse. Part of the reason you are considering is to avoid dealing with unhappy pack members. If you kick out everyone who doesn't like your family, there will be a lot less trouble, and you'll spend less time running the pack," Alephin said. "You could also get a beta to help run the pack."

Nelson was very surprised. That was an idea. But he didn't know anyone he trusted that much. Quite a few betas had tried to take control of packs by challenging their Alphas.

"Lobo would make a good beta," Alephin said. "You can trust him."

Another startling thought. But it wasn't a terrible idea. Their goals would be the same. And Bobby would never let Lobo challenge him.

"That's worth considering. If it doesn't work, option one is always available," Nelson said.

Alephin nodded.

"I've given a lot of thought about my old-timers, but none about your situation. If you think of some other approach, don't be afraid to try it. I had no plan, and it has worked out pretty well. You can do at least as well. You have me as an example of what to try or what not to try."

Nelson seemed deep in thought. Bobby began stroking his cock. Nelson groaned. "That feels so incredibly satisfying."

Bobby grinned.

"I bet your cum is delicious," Bobby said.

Nelson's eyes rolled back. That was his one kink. He loved to shoot in a woman's mouth. But they had to swallow. He loved feeding them his Alpha semen. He had to hire whores to do it, usually. Sadly, he'd known too few women over the...centuries...who actually enjoyed it or claimed to enjoy it. It was a real shame very few women could suck him. His cock, especially the head, was too thick. It was the size of an apple. He liked the length of his cock, but he wished it wasn't so thick. He'd only been with two women who could suck him properly. Both had been somewhat frog-like, with oversized mouths. He'd longed for a blow job for years. He thoroughly enjoyed getting them from the two women, but he avoided looking at them. But ejaculating into a beautiful woman's mouth, even though she couldn't blow him was very, very satisfying for him.

"You want suck it out of me every day?" Nelson asked, grinning.

Bobby laughed for a while. Nelson frowned. Was he being laughed at? But he was glad Bobby was joyful.

"I was thinking more like ten times a day, Nelson. I love spunk!"

Ten times! Nelson sighed, and smiled. Of course! His mate wanted the exact same thing he did.

"Nelson, Bobby, Tom, and Jack all love jizz," Alephin said. "You can't give them too much."

"I think I can," Nelson said, grinning at Bobby.

"One of his brothers likes it on his food," Alephin said. "Like a condiment."

Nelson was very surprised.

"I bet yours would be great on French-fries," Bobby said to him, grinning.

"Oh. OK. Sure..."

Alephin shook his head. "I fed Tom my jizz for seven minutes yesterday. His stomach bulged. He came three times. And he wanted more."

"Seven minutes!" Bobby said. He was very jealous, but he certainly couldn't say that in front of Nelson.

That was a lot in Alephin's sentence for Nelson to take in!

"You had a seven-minute orgasm? How?" Nelson asked, shocked. And he made Tom come thrice, just by doing it? Tom wasn't even his mate. He knew Alephin had sex with all his pack members. Was he giving all of them multiple orgasms all the time? He was trying to promote gay sex so the old-timer males would try to get pregnant, so it made sense. It was a staggering thought. No wonder people like Tom, Jack, Bobby, and the security staff were so inexplicably loyal to him. Many, many people wondered why the clones were so happy in this backwater, when they could live in much nicer places. Alephin knew what they wanted and he gave it to them. How many orgasms did Alephin have in a day? Hundreds? Was it any wonder he didn't care what anyone else thought about how he ran his pack? He was in a constant state of ecstasy! And also, it wasn't a bit surprising that Bobby loved Alephin's cock. How much pleasure had his cock given Bobby, in just a few hours? The thought upset him greatly, but he forced himself to be logical—Alpehin had no idea Bobby was Nelson's mate. And Alephin was telling him how to keep Bobby just as happy with him as Tom and Jack were with Alephin. Then he remembered the gloryholes. The men Alephin didn't give orgasms to, the straight ones, got them from other pack members, and anonymously, so it didn't matter who was pleasing them. No wonder people stayed in Alephin's swamp. It was one big sex party. He'd heard someone describing Lombardy as a big country club, by comparison. He needed to make sure Bobby had some fun. Otherwise, he'd miss Techupawa after an hour. Then he remembered Bobby would be busy having sex with him and all his other brand-new mates. It might be weeks before he felt like getting out of bed. Plus, Bobby liked Nelson's cock more than Alephin's.

"Think about how much your mate or pack member needs your semen," Alephin said. "Your body will keep up."

Nelson shook his head in amazement.

"Any mated Vin-ta can produce enough to cover his mate twice a day. Alphas produce even more. And mated Alphas—well, I've never run out. I would guess I've ejaculated sixteen cups in a single day." Nelson was shocked. That was a gallon!

"So much!" Bobby said, groaning. Nelson thought he was going to have an orgasm! That showed Nelson how just much Bobby loved the stuff. It was now his delightful job to produce so much for him.

"If you find your orgasm ending, keep thinking Bobby needs more," Alephin said. "Of course, you might hate having an orgasm that lasts that long." Alephin grinned.

That was incredible! But it would make it even harder to leave Bobby to discuss pack business when he could be having seven-minute-long orgasms with him.

"Do you want that much from me?" Nelson asked Bobby.

"Well, Tom is not Alephin's mate," Bobby said.

Nelson frowned. "I know that."

"He wants more than that, because he's your mate," Alephin said.

Nelson smiled. He could feel Bobby's eyes on his cock. He almost laughed. Bobby wanted to milk him like a cow! Then he groaned. Except cows didn't have continuous orgasms from the milking. He could make Bobby even happier than Alephin could make him, if he was willing to have ten minute orgasms! He was willing! Nelson shuddered at the thought of it. Was his body really capable of that? But if Alephin's was, surely his was.

"Even you may find sixteen cups is too much, but I'll give you as much as my body can produce," Nelson said.

He chuckled at Bobby's grin.

"You're going to be a cheap date," Nelson said.

Bobby and the Kostas laughed.

"I don't think Nicky and I ever went on a date," Bobby said.

"We went to the lake when we first got together," Nicky said.

"Oh, yeah," Bobby said, smiling. He looked at Nelson. "I have no need for anything but love and sex," Bobby said.

Nelson shook his head. He believed him. Bobby was unique. Except he wasn't. He was a clone. Well, Nelson didn't care.

"Maybe you'd like French-fries on the plane, to go with my cream," Nelson said.

Bobby grinned.

Nelson smiled back. Bobby was delightful, charming, adorable, and kinky. But it was a kink Nelson liked.

"Alephin, does it bother you that I'm taking Bobby from you?" Nelson asked, as he took Bobby's hand and kissed it. Bobby looked down, shyly. And he'd just been talking about how much he wanted Nelson's jizz! But that was sex, and this was a sign of love.

He was surprised when he saw how much the question pissed Alephin off.

"I bet you can guess the answer, if you try," Alephin said.

"I didn't ask that to be obnoxious. Truly. It was meant to be rhetorical. You took Maria from me because she was your mate. I'm taking Bobby from you, because he is my mate. There is so much poetic justice in that, that I can't help but consider us even. I've called you a pervert many times, but I have a new perspective. You have sex constantly, and with everyone. But I've known lots of people have devoted their lives to sex, and that was simply for their own pleasure. I learned you are willing to do anything to have pups and to let your pack members have pups. Considering how important having a pup is to me, I can't criticize you for it. People who are only willing to continue doing the things the way they always have, don't have pups and it's very, very unlikely they'll get them."

"Thank you, Nelson."

Nelson looked down. Bobby was staring lustfully at his cock. Precum spurted out of it. Bobby licked it up, making Nelson very happy.

"That big cock is going to make you happy, isn't it, sweetheart?" Nelson asked.

"It already does."

Nelson smiled.

Bobby moved behind Nelson. He wondered why, until Bobby pulled Nelson's ass cheeks apart and pressed his face into his crack.

"Oh, fuck!" Nelson said, as Bobby inhaled deeply.

"Uh...what was I going to say...Oh. Mates. If I cling to the idea that my mate should only have eyes for me, I could miss the best thing that even happened to me," Nelson said, partly to himself. Then Nelson groaned loudly when Bobby's tongue swiped Nelson's asshole. Nelson pushed his ass back, when Bobby began licking his asshole. It was incredibly pleasurable as well as a sign of Bobby's love, lust, and devotion to him. His wolf was especially pleased.

"Nelson, can I offer a little advice about his other mates?" Alephin asked.

Nelson found it difficult to concentrate. Bobby was trying to get his tongue inside Nelson's body. Nelson was rooting for him.

"Um...what? Oh. Yes, Alephin, please do."

Rince saw the sex had Alephin excited. He knelt and began sucking Alephin's cock.

"Think of them as your family, not as competition. I know that will be difficult. But that is how your mate sees all of you. It will get easier over time. If you get jealous every time one of Bobby's mates is with him, you will lose all the joy you should be experiencing. Don't avoid watching them have sex. You'll be avoiding your mate for long periods and that will make both of you unhapppy. He wants you there with your cock in his face, while his other mates breed him. Try to focus on how happy they are making your mate. Join in. If one of his mates is fucking him, fuck Bobby's mouth," Alephin said. "Or sit on his face. As you can see, Bobby loves to eat ass. He seems to think yours is delicious, but there's no accounting for taste." Nelson laughed out loud. Bobby groaned, again, as he continued to eat Nelson's ass. Nelson could see Alephin knew what would make Bobby happy. That made him jealous, but he needed to learn, not resent Alephin for having experience. "Sit Bobby on your lap, with your cock buried in him and your arms wrapped around him while his other mates take turns feeding him. Feel his ass spasm and massage your cock every time one of them ejaculates in his mouth. He'll have an orgasm each time. So will you."

Bobby stood and moved in front of Nelson. Nelson wrapped his arms around his mate and lifted him up. Bobby wrapped his legs around Nelson's waist again.

"Damn Alephin!" Bobby said.

"Don't be afraid to be kinky. You have a kinky mate. If you are having dinner, after you light the candles and seat Bobby, ejaculate all over Bobby's food. Then enjoy watching your mate enjoy his dinner. It will be the most satisfying meal you ever ate, for both of you."

Chris looked at Nicky. "I'll do that for you," Chris whispered to Nicky. They both tried not to laugh. Nelson didn't seem the type to appreciate it. Chris figured he'd say something like, "Children should be seen, but not heard."

"Oh, fuck!" Bobby said, in response to Alephin's suggestion. Nelson could smell Bobby's intense arousal.

Nelson became jealous and then angry. Alephin was exciting his mate. But Bobby wanted him intensely. Desperately. His mate began sucking on Nelson's ear. And Alephin was telling Nelson how to excite his mate. Nelson needed to know. He would never have thought of any of this. Besides, who else knew what Bobby and his brothers liked? He would be a fool to ignore it. And he had to listen, if he wanted to make his mate as happy as he could.

"Use your Alpha abilities to make Bobby especially happy," Alephin said. "Don't wonder why Bobby loves semen. Just give him as much as you can. Cover his skin and fill his stomach and ass with it."

Bobby groaned and came! Bobby shot on himself and on Nelson. His semen smelled delicious to Nelson. His would smell that way to Bobby. Nelson would have been insanely jealous that Alephin made his mate come, if it wasn't for the fact that he did it by making Bobby think of Nelson's cock and cum. It was thinking of Nelson that gave his mate the orgasm. Then the idea of his mate wanting that much of his semen excited Nelson almost to orgasm. Bobby's stomach would bulge as he began digesting the thick, white, very masculine gift from Nelson's body. Although how thick it would be with Bobby constantly, and very eagerly draining him was unknown. He shuddered again, thinking of ten-minute long continuous orgasms. Alephin had orgasms like that every day! Maybe several times a day!

"Can you do that? Will you do that?" Nelson's mate begged him.

"Yes, Bobby. I'll feed you with my cock many, many times every day. I'll coat your food, your body, and even your toothbrush with Alpha semen."

Bobby came, again! Nelson laughed with complete joy. He was learning!

Alephin walked up very close to Nelson. Nelson was slightly alarmed.

"See if it excites Bobby to call you Daddy," Alephin whispered. "I bet it will. Encourage it. Be his only 'daddy'." Nelson frowned. "Don't think incest, think 'sugar daddy'. You fit the role perfectly, and 'daddy' psychologically places you firmly and permanently at the head of your new family."

Nelson turned to Alephin, surprised. That was an incredibly good idea.

"Thank you," Nelson said, sincerely.

"How do I watch one of them fuck him without wanting to...well..." Nelson whispered.

"Chew him up?" Alephin suggested.

"Yes."

"Kiss Bobby while it's happening. Look at the joy on your mate's face and be happy for the joy. And most importantly, remember that the man fucking him is just as much as part of your family as Bobby. If it helps, think of them as sons. All of you will be together for the rest of your lives," Alephin said. "And remember your mate needs them. And they need him as much as you do. Imagine how it would feel to lose a mate, to lose Bobby, and be empathetic."

"Bobby? Would you like to lick Nelson's jizz off of Nicky's cock and balls?" Alephin asked.

"Oh, fuck, yeah! I hope Nicky will do it!" Bobby said.

"You might even enjoy watching it, Nelson."

Nelson doubted it. But he was willing to try. After all, his mate craved his semen. How could he refuse? Was it better that Bobby lick Nicky's cock when Nelson's semen wasn't on it? NO!

"You might also get a prescription for tranquilizers, for the beginning," Alephin said. "They won't make you less horny. They work very well on our wolves. In fact, they work better on them than on our human selves."

Nelson was very surprised by the last suggestion. Such a thing had never occurred to him, but it was so simple. Once his wolf was more accustomed to seeing Bobby with his other mates, he could reduce the dose until he was off them.

"That sounds like an excellent idea. It's going to be hard enough, at first, for my human self to watch Bobby having sex with other men. Trying to control the wolf, too, will be difficult."

"Will you ever be able to enjoy it?" Bobby asked him. "I want to have three-ways, at least, with you."

Nelson suppressed a burst of anger/jealousy.

"I hope so, Bobby," Nelson said. "If it will make you happy, I want to do it. And to be honest, at first, the only way I may be able to tolerate watching one of them fuck you, may be by sticking my cock in your mouth so you can't see them."

Bobby hugged him. "I love you for trying so hard. I know—no, I'm trying to understand how hard it must be, after a long life of thinking it would be different."

Nelson sighed and hugged him back. How could he deny Bobby anything?

And when he thought about it, was it better that Bobby have sex with his other mates when he wasn't in the room, participating? NO!

Nick mouthed to Alephin, "Should we stay here?" They weren't part of the discussion, and he had questions for Lobo. Alephin shook his head.

"Let's go into the den," Nick said to his sons, Lobo, and Ed. Lobo and Ed frowned, but followed the Kostas.

"I'm pretty concerned about how this will affect us," Nick said.

"Me, too," Chris said. The others nodded.

"Lobo, do you have any idea what it will be like for Bobby to have an Alpha for a mate?" Nick asked.

"Bobby will be incredibly powerful in the pack. He can have people killed if he doesn't like them, and they refuse to leave." The Kostas gasped. "On the other hand, the people in the pack are mostly old and very conservative. They will not like a male mate. A male mate with other mates will be intolerable for many of them. I'm sure Nelson is aware of this. I expect Nelson will kill a lot of people, until they learn to shut up, if they refuse to leave the pack."

"Killing? That's legal?" Chris asked.

"In a pack, it is. People are very aware of that when they join. All they have to do is leave if they are unhappy. If they stay, on Nelson's land—he owns everything, just as Alephin owns everything but this house, here—they have to live by Nelson's rules. Not disagreeing with Nelson is one of the rules. Their opinions are nothing to Nelson."

"Do you have any idea how he will feel about us?" Nicky asked.

"He will resent us. I would be surprised if he doesn't wish we didn't exist."

"Can Bobby assert himself against Nelson, or will Nelson be able to command him to do whatever he wants in his Alpha voice?" Chris asked.

"I think Nelson would feel like a complete failure as a mate, if he had to force Bobby to do what he wants," Lobo said. "That would be like having a zombie for a mate. I don't think he would do that, which means Bobby can assert himself."

Chris nodded.

"How do you feel about this, Ed?" Nicky asked.

"I don't think I'm Bobby's mate anymore."

"What?" Nick asked.

Ed sighed. "Nelson is Bobby's Alpha now, not Alephin."

"Maybe Nelson will re-mate you," Lobo said.

"Do you really think he will want to help Bobby get another mate?" Ed asked.

"Maybe he'll see the value of having mate guards," Lobo said.

"Maybe," Ed said, but he wasn't convinced. Neither was Lobo.

"So let's hear the upside of all of this," Nick said to Nicky, who grinned.

"My brother-in-law is a hot trillionaire. You need more?" Nicky asked.

Nick and Chris laughed.

"What do you think the chances are they'll leave without us?" Nick asked Lobo.

"Zero. Bobby would crash the plane trying to get back to us. Really, Nick. Try not to be so pessimistic," Lobo said.

Nicky grinned at his father.

Ed sighed. He would miss Bobby. He left to speak to Alephin.

Bobby watched Ed walk up to Alephin and begin whispering. They both looked at him.

"Nelson, Ed would like to speak to Bobby and me. Would you excuse us for a moment?" Alephin asked.

"No. I won't. I'm not letting Bobby out of my sight for the next year," Nelson said.

Alephin rubbed his forehead. He took Ed's hand and they walked up to Bobby and Nelson.

"Ed is wondering if you still want him as a mate," Alephin said to Bobby. "Once you leave Techupawa, your mating bond will probably disappear."

"How can that be?" Nelson asked.

"Bobby has Lobo for a mate. I felt he would be safer having two security aces for mates. Ed and Bobby both liked each other, but weren't mates. I offered to make them mates, and they wanted me to do it. There's an artificial mating bond between them. Bobby's other mates are natural."

Nelson looked surprised.

"I didn't realize you were powerful enough to do that," Nelson said to Alephin.

"Does he feel like your other mates to you?" Nelson asked Bobby.

"Yes. I love him," Bobby said.

"Do you? Or is that the bond?" Nelson asked.

Bobby started to speak, but then didn't. He really didn't know.

"Do you want to stop being my mate?" Bobby asked Ed.

"No, but I think it will happen anyway. I doubt Nelson will want to mate us, up at Lombardy."

"Of course he will," Bobby said. He looked at Nelson, who looked doubtful.

"Look, Bobby. You will be getting more natural mates, it seems. You will be meeting a large number of men at Lombardy. I have over two thousand pack members," Nelson said. Bobby gasped.

"Six of them could be mates," Alephin said. "Even ten or fifteen."

Bobby groaned. He looked at Nelson, who looked sick. How could he keep all of them happy, especially once he had twins? He'd want to spend time with them.

Nelson was pleased Bobby looked just as upset at the idea as he felt.

"Once I have babies to care for, how will I keep the ones I have now, happy?" Bobby asked Alephin.

"Dave!" Alephin bellowed.

Dave was eavesdropping. He walked up to them.

"Tell us about scent blockers," Alephin said. "Can they prevent Bobby from acquiring more mates?"

"They work. If Bobby was wearing one, his mates wouldn't find his scent particularly notable."

"Is there a downside?" Nelson asked.

"Oh, hell, yeah. You mate won't smell like your mate. Something in the back of your head will say, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! The sex won't be nearly as good. You'll know he's your mate, but your lust will be much less intense. I assume you're straight. That might or might not cause a problem. Even if it doesn't, you won't be able to have as many orgasms. Not being able to smell your mate can cause panic attacks, as your subconscious worries he's no longer your mate. Your wolf freaks out. It's not fun."

"Oh, fuck!" Bobby said.

"But Bobby, your mates would not know they were your mates," Alephin said.

Nelson had been listening with growing horror. He began to realize just what the implications of this was. A Vin-Ta discovered a substance which kept mates from finding each other? But that was what every unmated Vin-Ta wanted more than anything? Why would someone do that? And why did anyone think it was desirable? There was something terribly obscene about it. Obscene in a way that sex with anybody could never be. The Shusheen would be furious. Probably.

"Someone figured out a way to deceive people so they wouldn't know they'd found their mates and you people all know about it?" Nelson asked.

Alephin was amused. Nelson was so...Nelson.

"Yes. Exactly what you hope to do. Keep more people from knowing Bobby is their mate," Alephin said.

Nelson closed his mouth. Alephin was right.

"And if you still feel indignant, they were invented by a man whose son was his mate. He doused himself and his son with them, so he wouldn't be tempted to do something naughty, with the one person he should have been naughty with. He rejected his mate, and scent blockers helped him get away with it," Alephin said. There were a couple of digs at Nelson in what he said. He knew he probably shouldn't have done it, but Nelson was so...Nelson. And that was a synonym for 'sanctimonious asshole'.

Nelson closed his eyes. That really hit home. 'He rejected his mate.' That was wrong. But it was his son. He couldn't allow his son to be his mate, could he? But his son would have been as happy as Rince to have his father for his mate. That happiness was denied him, and by his own mate, someone who should have cared more about his son's happiness than his own. It hurt to know that if Nelson had a son who was his mate, he would have done the same thing: rejected his mate. He would have hurt his son and risked his committing suicide to avoid going against or changing his beliefs. He shook his head, sadly. It was all so complicated. He hadn't realized that. Again, Alephin was probably right all along, as much as he hated admitting it.

But Nelson was sure Bobby would have a nervous breakdown if he had thirty mates. That could happen in just a few years. How could anyone be deeply, madly in love with a mob? The thirty mates would be desperately unhappy because they were seldom with their mate.

"Can the scent blockers be removed?" Nelson asked.

"Sure. They wear off. They have to be reapplied, regularly. Several showers or baths are necessary to get rid of them completely," Dave said. "And there is one more problem. How are you going to apply them to all the other men?"

"What do you mean?" Bobby asked.

"You'll know they are your mates, Bobby. But they will completely ignore you. You may not want more mates, but that doesn't mean being rejected will be pleasant. You may handle it OK, but will your wolf?"

"Crap!" Nelson said. Alephin almost laughed. Nelson said a dirty word!

Nelson wanted his mate to smell right. He was afraid Bobby wouldn't arouse him, and Bobby would feel rejected. Or he could feel rejected by others. It wasn't a good solution. He needed to find a better one.

"Being rejected won't be as bad for him as it would be for a normal Vin-Ta," Alephin said.

Alephin stepped away and motioned to Nelson to join him. He spoke softly to Nelson. Bobby frowned. He couldn't hear him. Nelson nodded.

"I'll be right back," Alephin said.

Nelson walked back to Bobby and took him in his arms. Bobby sighed and rested his cheek on Nelson's chest. Nelson felt a pang of love for his mate. Bobby moved his head and his tongue flicked against Nelson's nipple. Nelson shuddered in pleasure. He kissed Bobby on the top of his head. He certainly had no trouble loving a man. He felt a deep love for Bobby.

Alephin returned with a handsome young Vin-Ta. Bobby couldn't take his eyes off him. Alephin introduced him as Keith. Bobby knew Keith was one of Jack's mates, but they hadn't met. Keith smelled wonderful. Keith was erect and he had a large, very attractive cock. Keith hadn't looked at Bobby once. He spoke to Alephin and Nelson. He completely ignored Bobby. That hurt. Dave had been so kind and friendly, even though they could never be lovers. Keith was just the opposite. Bobby felt himself disliking Keith, but it changed into depression. What was wrong with Keith? Or was it Bobby? Was something wrong with him? But Nelson didn't think so. It was just Keith.

"You are such a fucking asshole!" Bobby said to Keith. He was immediately embarrassed.

Keith turned and stared.

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that," Bobby said.

Bobby felt completely humiliated.

"Well, we know," Nelson said.

"Bobby, that was a test. We wanted to see how you would feel if a mate ignored you because you were wearing a scent blocker. You knew he was your mate, but Keith pretended he didn't know you were his mate," Alephin said. "Keith was told to ignore you."

Bobby blushed. "Sorry, Keith."

Keith smiled. "Don't apologize. It isn't necessary. I can smell how you really feel about me."

Bobby blushed.

"Are you OK?" Nelson asked Bobby.

"Yes. I'm glad you did it, but it wasn't a good test."

"Why not?" Alephin asked.

"Because I didn't know he was ignoring me because of a scent blocker. If I'd known, I wouldn't have blamed Keith. I would have blamed the scent blocker. I would know why I was wearing it. And I would have known I could just stop wearing it, if I really wanted him as a mate. Which I do, unfortunately," Bobby said, laughing.

Keith winked at Bobby, who was evidently a younger, hornier version of his own mate, Jack. Dave had told Keith about his near-sexual encounter with Bobby, and how completely free-spirited Bobby was. Sadly, Jack and Tom could not be described as free-spirited, especially Tom. It wasn't their fault; it was how they were raised.

Alephin sighed and nodded.

"Well, it was a nice try," Nelson said to Alephin.

"Would you have stopped wearing it?" Nelson asked Bobby.

Bobby thought for a minute.

"I think I'd realize another mate wouldn't make me happier. It would just make life more difficult. I think I would keep wearing it."

"Would it be difficult?" Keith asked.

Bobby looked at Keith's dick. "Yes." They all laughed. "But hopefully they'll be wearing clothes or have smaller, uglier dicks."

Keith was sorry Bobby was leaving. He was really cool!

"Where can I get the scent blockers?" Nelson asked Alephin. "Do you have any?"

"No," Alephin said.

"They don't store well," Dave said. "You'll have to keep mixing up more. I'll email you the ingredients and the recipe. I say recipe, but all you have to do it boil it, once it's mixed. You won't have any trouble making it. I made it up in a dorm room with a microwave."

"Thank you," Nelson said.

"Ed?" Alephin said.

Bobby turned to Ed. Handsome, sweet Ed. Bobby looked at Ed's erection and licked his lips. Hot Ed.

Ed suppressed a groan.

Nelson smelled Bobby's lust for yet another man. That was never going to be easy to accept. He assumed he'd get used to it.

"Ed, what do you want to do? Do you want to stay mates?" Bobby asked.

"Yes, Bobby. I wanted you before we were mates. But I love Techupawa. I love working for Alephin. I'm not sure I won't hate Lombardy. It's the exact opposite of Techupawa."

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

"We were all planning to cover Bobby on a table in the restaurant today, at dinner," Ed said to Nelson. "Bobby would love it. Could we do that at Lombardy?"

"Cover him with what?" Nelson asked. He heard a couple of people snicker.
