Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 19:36:00 -0400 From: Justin Forfun Subject: New Reality 24 This story started out of boredom, and has now taken on a life of its own. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback, and some negative. I'm open to suggestions and feedback, but it is what it is. You can comment as you like at Jst4fun2nyt@gmail.com. The sex in it isn't going to be a major part of it, nor is it going to be graphic. If you're looking for masturbation fodder, look elsewhere. There will be slow times in this story, just like there are in life. Other times, things will fly at you too fast. There will be boring days, and exciting days. It's just how it's flowing. I was going to try to keep writing, and post chapters slower so I could keep up. Work and real life have me distracted, so I'm going to put everything I have so far on Nifty, as fast as they'll post it. After that, chapters will come as I can get them written. No promises on how fast that will be, as my busy time at work is coming, and the next 6-8 months, I'll be working 15 hour days.

I led the group to hunting rock, climbed up onto it, and spoke to the group. "Most of you will not master this tonight. In fact, some of you may never master the things I want to teach you tonight. Some of you may not be aware, but as Alpha, I keep my beast alert at all times. There is never a minute of the day that my senses aren't alert to a threat to my pups and my pack. I can look out of my office and read the book you are reading in the gatehouse, and I can hear the jokes you are telling. I'm not telling you all of this to impress you, I'm telling you this because you need to do your best to do that as well. Imagine the advantages you'll have over an intruder if you can see him hiding in the tree line while you're standing on the tower. Imagine being able to scent that there is a body in the vehicle that you don't see, or hearing their whispered plans as they drive up." "Most of this will require you to be extremely sensitive because you'll know things that you really have no business knowing, hear private conversations, see private activities. It is on you to know when to tone things down and allow your packmates their privacy, and when to turn up the heat to focus on hearing what you need to hear to keep your packmates safe." "Tonight, we'll focus on scent. Those of you working security need to recognize your packmates by scent from a distance. If you delay my car at the gate to verify that I'm me, you're holding me stationary as an easy target for an attack. If you can scent the occupants of an incoming vehicle, we can come and go quickly and safely. This is just an example, so don't feel I'm picking on any one, you're all doing a fine job. I want us to do better." "Now, let your beasts out, show me the true nature of my pack!" I roared, adding Alpha to my voice as I watched everyone shift. Most simply grew fangs, red eyes, and some sharper claws. Billy's Beta form startled me though. I hadn't seen him like this since the night we met Sam, but he had grown. I guess that, like my Alpha form, his beast knew his role as the Beta to a King, and was equal to the task. He was easily 8 feet tall with 6" fangs that curved slightly outward. His glowing green eyes told the world he was only a Beta, but his stature told them he was the King of all Betas. Scott's beast was also feeding off my status, as he was as big as Billy had been, standing a few inches shorter than Billy, with his softly glowing red eyes looking at me with love. Sam's Alpha form had changed as well, his fangs were a perfect match of mine, but much smaller. When I last saw his beast, he stood somewhere near 7 feet tall, yet tonight he was looking me in the eyes in my human form. Well, he would be looking in my eyes if he'd make eye contact. He kept his eyes to the ground, never daring to look me, or anyone directly in the eyes. "Alright Sam, what's your idea?" He knelt in front of me and explained. At first, I was disgusted at his suggestion, but as he explained all the details, it made sense, so I summoned my beast and stood towering over him. Then I started peeing. I soaked him from head to toe, drenching his hair, his face, and all of his body with the strongest of my scents. When I was done, he stood, dripping, and ran off into the woods. I had the pack follow me a few hundred yards away, so they couldn't use his trail, and told them to shift back to human form, and find him. I would be making several false marks around the area to confuse them and their goal was to find Sam and touch him. Get my scent, combined with his, on their body to confirm the `kill'. After I had marked a few trees randomly, I climbed to the top of the highest tree I could find and watched. It took Lucas a total of three minutes to find Sam. He didn't move a muscle at first, just stood with his nose up, eyes darting around, and ran straight to him. I mentally told Billy to bring Lucas to me as I watched Tommy tracking Sam next, he almost got fooled by a marked tree, but realized his mistake after taking a few steps, then headed straight for Sam. Andrew, Mary, and Edward were the next to find him, all coming from different directions and touching him at the same moment. Several of the new security people weren't far behind, but I could see we needed to work on things. Finally, after four hours of this, everyone had found Sam and I called them all in to the rock and again jumped up on it. "I am quite happy with the results we've had tonight. As you can see, using your abilities in human form is possible. I want you all to be practicing whenever you can. While sitting on guard duty, try to use just your eyes while your partner makes sure they don't phase. Tune your hearing and try to hear sounds from the house, or the guard shack. Try to track someone's movements through the house as you're doing your work. Imagine a packmate, and try to scent where they are. Your ability to enhance your senses might save the life of a packmate at some future time, so please take this as seriously as I do." "Tonight's winner is Lucas. He found Sam three minutes after I told you all to hunt. I don't know if it's that he's naturally gifted, or that he's so young he hasn't had time to develop bad habits. Either way, Lucas is the man of the night. Now that our training if officially done, we can hunt. Amie has mentioned we're low on white tail and rabbit at the house, so Andrew and Tommy will each be bringing home a doe, and each of the rest of you, please bring home a rabbit so they can be drained and butchered. Lucas and I will be finding that fat spike buck that has been living down by the lake. Enjoy yourselves, and get some rest. We'll do this every few nights with a different twist to help you gain skills. Good night, and thank you." I shifted and led Lucas off towards the lake. He shifted as well, and looked up at me with pride in his eyes. His arm reached out to stop my motion and his hand landed on my erection. He quickly pulled away and stifled a giggle, then pointed. I could smell the buck as well, and was impressed as this boy silently stalked up to the deer and quickly snapped its neck. I don't think the deer ever knew he was standing there. As we both shifted back, I remembered our first hunt, and looked at Lucas' erect penis and asked if I should. He nodded, and like before, I had barely touched it when he exploded on my leg. He looked at mine, then into my eyes questioning. I nodded and he reached out and slowly wrapped his fingers around me. I mentally reached out and asked Billy and Scott if they wanted to join but they both said Lucas should have his time with his Alpha. "You're free to do anything you like Lucas. You can stop at any time, you know that, right?" "I know Greg. But you did it for me so..." I took his hand and said "No, you don't owe me for that. If that's why you're doing this, you should stop. Only do things you want." "Well, I want to please you, but I don't think I'm into guys." "You please me by being honest with me buddy. Let's stop for now and go home. You can touch me like this anytime you'd like but I don't want you doing it just because you think it pleases me. I'm sure any of the boys will please you like this anytime you want, without pressure." He smiled up at me, taking his hand away "Well, are you going to finish?" "I have three mates, Sam, and Tanya. I'm sure I can get off anytime I want." He laughed as he shifted, picked up the deer and carried it towards the house. "Remember Lucas, our talk about consent. It always applies, only do what you want. Don't let someone pressure you to do things you don't want. If anyone does, you come to me, ok?" "I understand Greg. I just kinda thought `fair is fair', ya know? But I see what you mean, even that is pressure." We walked back to the house and after hanging the deer with the other two and setting it to drain, we joined several others in the showers. Mary and Amie where there and said they would deal with the deer and rabbits. A couple of the men offered to help butcher, and I knew we'd have a cooler full of fresh blood and meat to last a week or two. Andrew tried to apologize for not having filled the cooler before we got home but I cut him off, saying there was a lot going on and it was fine. I'm sure he'd have people taking care of it, and with our training hunts, the whole pack could help, at least in the near future. I liked hunting with my pack and thought we should do this more often, when time allowed. As we left the showers, we all ended up in the basement family room. Bea and Donna had all the pups there and were just finishing `Bambi'. I looked at Bea and thought `is this a subliminal message?'. She snorted and I got `No, Brandon asked for it by name'. Brandon then turned to me with a grin "Is the deer you got tonight as big as Bambi was at the end Dad?" "Well buddy, his body was, but he only had spike antlers. Why?" "This movie's silly. They make it seem like hunting is bad. If you're gonna eat the meat, there's nothing wrong with it. It's the idiots that just kill for fun that are bad." "Exactly Brandon, very good point. Now, tomorrow night, you, Chipper, and Andy are going hunting with me, Pop, Papa, and Mommy. I think maybe Jack or Lucas can come with us to stay with you boys, unless you want someone else?" "Lucas can stay with us Dad, he's a good hunter. Papa told us how good he did tonight. Is Kailani coming too?" "That's up to her dads, but she's welcome. You can ask uncle Tommy when he comes in." Just then, Leonard came in and looking from me to his daughter, nodded his agreement that she could go. I decided to wait and let the pups sort it out, and turned to figure out who I should ask for advice on something that had just crossed my mind. I decided Mary was my best choice, so I turned and headed to the game storage room. She and Amie had all the deer drained and all three were being skinned by the security, er, footmen. (I need a better name for these guys, they're main role is security, but they're always in the house and serve as footmen in the household staff, but neither title fits right. Maybe I should just call them `the guys' and leave it. I'll ask Andrew for a better title later.) Anyway, the guys were skinning the deer and Mary was hanging rabbits as Amie inserted needles to drain their blood into bottles to keep in the refrigerator. We didn't kill for sport, and we saved their blood for drinking, their meat for meals, and one of the new guys used to be a leather worker and told us he could make wonderful gloves, boots, or belts for us, so we saved all we could. Any scrap was put out for the local bears to eat. Yes, we had a bears on our land. They avoided us when we hunted and stayed away from the houses. We respected them and allowed them to thrive. "Mary, you're the only one I can think of to ask about this, but the traditions book didn't go into details. It seems a pup's first hunt is not done at a specific time in their life, or am I missing something?" "Well Greg, the truth is, it's up to the Alpha. You've just come into an odd bunch, with Billy not having a man around, and Lucas being raised by his uncle. Not to mention Sam's pack. When I was a girl, a boy would go with his dad and hunt as soon as he could walk. Most pups can't shift until they're well into puberty, and a first hunt used to be a rite of passage into adulthood. Now, adult is defined as a bit older than puberty, but you've shown the right instincts so far. When you told Lucas he couldn't be in your pack until he had hunted, you defined a rule for your pack. Personally, I think it's a good one and I think you should stick to it. Of course, by hunted I mean shifted and done the hunting himself." "And if a pup says their beast if trying to get out earlier than we expect?" "You consider each as the individual they are, and do what's right." "Ok, well what about girls? Did Kalyn ever get to hunt?" "I took her Greg. She came to me the morning of your wedding and asked if I'd take her. She did wonderfully, brought me a plump red squirrel." "Thanks Amie. I told Brandon, Chipper, and Andy they could come tomorrow night when my mates and I hunt. I hope it was ok to include Andy?" "It was fine. I'm sure he's honored, and I'm sure Lucas and Andrew will take him as well, and they'll likely ask to include your pups." "And who will take Kailani when she's ready?" "Again, that's up to you Greg. I hear Tommy and Leonard are both skilled hunters. It used to be a girl had to go with an adult female, but again, it's all up to you, as Alpha. You don't seem like the type to consider their sex so I'm guessing one of those boys will take her, unless you choose to offer." "I'd be afraid I couldn't trigger the change and I don't know I'd feel right using sex like that with a little girl. I haven't had to with any of the boys, although Lucas... Oh, sorry Amie." "It's fine Greg, he actually told Andrew and I about it and he felt honored that you'd touch him in that way. You really have to get past your human morals and realize we're different. None of us think you ever would do this, but if you went in and bent Andy over the couch and mounted him, everyone would see it as an honor for him, including him. He might not understand it yet, but once he's grown a bit, he would. Trust me." "Well, you know me too well Amie. Just tonight I had a chat with Lucas about not allowing someone to pressure him into anything, and I mean it. Sexual favors will not be traded in my pack. I'm certainly not holding myself up as some paragon of virtue, hell, I've got three mates, but they all have the right to say no to me at any time, and they know it. Same goes for anyone in this pack. No means no, regardless of rank. Make sure that word gets around please? And I'd prefer that any exploring done by the pups is done with their parent's knowledge. Am I being naïve?" "No Greg, you're being a loving, caring Alpha, and we all love you for it. You're separating sex, love, and power, into their proper roles, and it will deepen the bond between you and your pack. But remember, as Alpha, you're every pack member's parent in a way." "Thanks Mary. Some of this comes to me so easy, and sometimes I feel like I'm in so far over my head I can't see daylight." "You just want to do what's best for us. You're doing fine Greg, keep on doing what you feel is right. We'll support you." Just then, Kailani and Chipper came running in "Alpha Greg, Daddy says I can go with you tomorrow night!" I picked her up and hugged her "That's wonderful little girl. So you should all be getting lots of sleep tonight, right?" "Yeah Daddy, we just came in to say goodnight. Brandon and Andy already went up." "Alright pup, you take Kailani back to her dads, then give Pop, Papa, and Mommy a kiss. I'll see you in the morning." as I leaned down to get his kiss. "Amie, Mary, thanks again for your help. I can't speak for everyone, but I think my mates and I will sleep late tomorrow, you should see us around 9." "Mary and I are trading days so we both get to sleep in at times Greg. I'm up tomorrow and I'll have food ready for anyone that comes through by 6. That's our plan for every day, self-serve from 6 to 9, but of course we'll have food for you and yours anytime you ask." "No, if we're late, it's on us. Don't treat us special, we can make do until lunch if we miss breakfast. I don't want to make extra work, and don't argue. Don't stay up too late dealing with this either, the butchering can be done tomorrow. For now, good night all." With that, I turned and headed towards the stairs, sending out a mental message to my mates that I was headed to bed and they could join me or not, as they wished, I needed to sleep. When I got to our room, I found Bea and Billy already curled up together making love. I was about to join them when Scott came out of the bathroom and grabbed my hand. "Tonight is a couple's night babe." and he pulled me onto the bed beside them and we made sweet gentle love. We all exchanged kisses when we were done, and snuggled in to a deep sleep. I had told everyone I was going to sleep in, but I forgot to cancel my alarm, so when it sounded at 7 I had no one to blame but myself. I couldn't get back to sleep, so I quietly went to the nursery and picked up Charlie, changed him, and sat to feed him. As I looked down into the eyes of my son, I saw my father's eyes looking back at me. Everything had been moving so fast when Dad had died that I never took the time to grieve. This morning it hit me, and I sat there with tears streaming down my face as I held my son. He had grown quite a bit in the six weeks since we changed him, and the expression on his face seemed to say `It's ok Dad'. I don't know how long I sat there like that, but suddenly I felt a hand on my arm. I looked up to see Chipper looking at me with concern. "What's wrong Dad? Why are you crying?" "I was just thinking about my Dad baby. I miss him sometimes." "I miss my Mommy and Daddy too sometimes Dad. But then I think about you and Pop and Papa and Mommy, and I remember that me missing them doesn't help anyone. I can be sad and think about the past, or I can be happy about now. I choose to be happy about now Daddy. You should do that." I laughed at the simple logic of a child "I'm very happy about the now baby. If my Dad didn't die I might not have Charlie. If your Mom and Dad didn't die, I wouldn't have you. So you're right, there is a good side to even the worst of bad things huh?" "Yup! I think Charlie wants down Dad. I'll take him to breakfast if you want to feed Davie. He's getting grumpy." "Ok buddy, you take Charlie." and I put him down and Chipper took his brother's hand and they walked to the kitchen. Really? Walking already? When did that happen? I stood and pulled Davie from his crib, changed him, and sat to feed him. As I was sitting, Scott came in. "I heard babe. You sure you're ok? Anything I can do?" "Ya know, I wasn't ok, but our son set me straight. He's right. It's ok for me to miss my Dad sometimes, but feeling sad about it isn't going to bring him back, and I have four beautiful sons, three wonderful mates, and a baby coming in October. I have too much to be happy about to spend time being sad." Scott smiled and kissed my forehead, then reached for Davie who let go of my wrist but gripped me tight and said "DA!!" I looked at Scott and said "Well, I guess he told you huh?" We both laughed as I stood and we headed out to join our family for breakfast. We found Brandon sitting with Charlie holding a cup to his lips. Charlie tasted, then looked up and said "Abit." "That's right, rabbit. What's this one Charlie?" as he held a different cup for tasting. "B-uck" he said, making buck a two-syllable word because he had to work on the `b' sound. "That's right Charlie. Which one do you want more?" Charlie reached for the first cup saying "Abit!" again and his brother helped him drink. I looked down to Davie who had been watching all of this. He reached towards his brother and yelled "BUCK!!!!" "Well, he's got his Pop's taste in blood. I just hope none of them develop a taste for that nasty sheep's blood Billy always likes." "HEY! There's nothing wrong with sheep's blood!" We heard Billy shouting as he and Bea came in. "Yes, well, we're out of it, so if you want any, you'll have to get it yourself." "Grandma! That's not fair!" We were all laughing by this point, and when Leonard and Tommy came in, we filled them in on the taste preferences of our pups, along with the poor choices their Beta made. Tommy laughed and agreed with us, but Leonard said he'd been considering getting a small flock of sheep just so we'd have a fresh source handy. This led to a discussion on us getting a few dozen cattle so we could also have fresh beef and beef blood. We certainly had the land, so breakfast was forgotten as Billy and Leonard started planning a barn and some fields to raise both sheep and cattle. I asked about hogs for bacon and everyone gave me dirty looks. "What?" "Have you ever smelled a hog farm? If you want to raise hogs, I'm moving out!" said Scott. "Oh it can't be that bad, can it?" "I'll take you by one today on our way to Mike's. Trust me, you'll change your mind. We can buy a hog from them and butcher it ourselves, but we don't want more than one here at a time, and it has to die the same day we bring it home." "Well, two of my mates are against it, I guess it's out." I said. "Three! Uncle Gunther took Lorenz and me to a hog farm in France one summer. I still can't smell bacon without smelling that stink!" "OK, fine, no hogs. If we're going to be `Old MacDonald', are we doing chickens? Ducks? Geese? What else?" Sebastian walked in about this time and said "If you're putting together a farm for fresh meat, I'd be happy to manage it Greg. If you'd let me do it the European way rather than all the hormones and chemicals they use here in the States?" "I think we'd all like that Grand-pére. Billy and Leonard have already started their plans. You'll have to do without Leonard for a day or two though. He's finishing something for me, then he has to go see George this afternoon." "Oh yeah Greg, sorry I forgot to tell you. I'm done. I can leave whenever Clint & Co are ready." "Talking about us behind our backs?" Clint said as he walked in. "Seems to me you were facing us Clint." Leonard said with a straight face, "But since you're here, I'm ready to go to Georges' whenever you three are. When can we leave?" "Give us time to eat and we can go. Ted got the Bell out at sunrise, and Atlantic said they'd have the Gulfstream fueled and ready anytime after 8am." "So I know roughly when to expect you back, If you leave here at 8, you're leaving PIT by 830, landing at 1230 our time, loaded and ready to leave by maybe 3? Back here just after dinner sound about right?" "Sounds about right Greg. I don't plan on fueling at SBA, leaving here full means we should have a 1000 mile safety margin for a round trip. That extra fuel weight might make a difference with whatever Frederick's bringing back. He told us to plan on about 5000 lbs." "Thanks Ted, please call me when you land at SBA, when you're ready to take off, and when you land back at PIT. Tell Frederick to call from PIT as well." "Will do Sir." "Ok Billy, you mentioned Mike's office today. Why am I going there?" "We have to officially open the school today Greg. All the pups that will be students are going to be there, and most of their parents." "How did this escape my notice Billy? It's only early August. I thought we wouldn't be ready until early September?" "Greg, it's the third week of August. I think you lost a week or two in Hawaii." "I guess I did. Did I miss anything else? Mary, do you have a boyfriend you're hiding?" Mary tossed a dishtowel at me as she shouted "Gregory Warnick, you behave! You might be my Alpha, but I'll still send you away without your dinner!" she said as we all laughed. "OK, so when do we leave for the school?" "As soon as Tanya, Shane, and I eat and get dressed Alpha. The rest of my pack is meeting us there. Regent is sending vans to all the houses for today, but once school starts, everyone will be using the public busses for everyday." "And how should I dress for this Billy?" "Business casual? Inexpensive dress pants, polo shirt and dockers?" "I think I agree. Scott and Bea? Are the two of you coming?" "Scott's coming Greg. The baby kept me awake all night, I think I'm going to rest, if it's ok?" "Of course it's ok. You take care of yourself and that pup." "Chipper, Brandon, Andy, Lucas, and Kailani will ride in the Sprinter with Andrew driving. Tommy will drive you, Scott, and me in the GLS." "Ok Billy, then I guess we should go get dressed?" and we all headed to our room as Mary took the pups to get them ready for their first day of school.
