Date: Sat, 15 May 2021 23:28:01 -0400 From: Justin Forfun Subject: New Reality 27 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. Here is the house plan I used for inspiration for their new lake house. I've modified it to fit my dream, but this is what gave me the idea of the general layout. https://archivaldesigns.com/collections/castle-house-plans/products/balmoral-castle-house-plan I've put the Character list at the end of this chapter, as it's become quite long. I'll TRY to remember to add it to future chapters. This list includes new characters from this chapter, so don't jump ahead and get spoilers. And on another note, somewhere along the line, Warnick Enterprises became Warnick Industries. It wasn't intentional, but I'm not going to ask the archivist to go back and repost that many chapters. I like the sound of Industries, so I think I'll keep that. Sorry for the error. Please tell me of others?

I smelled his pride so I knew he wasn't just going by the vehicle. Tommy stopped by the front door and Scott headed in to check on the pups as Billy and I headed for the office. As we neared the conference room, I scented Sebastian in there, so I stopped. "What are you up to Grand-pιre?" "Just looking for Charolais breeders in the US. The breed originated in France, and they're strong, won't overgraze the lands, and will give us a good supply of beef blood. I'd like to start with two dozen cows and three bulls. I've called a friend in New Zealand about sheep breeds. I don't suppose we need to be too picky about geese or chickens." "Two dozen cattle? Wait, you're going to harvest blood from living ones, only butcher when we need the beef, and you'll be breeding them as well, right?" "J'ai un petit-fils si intelligent." My French wasn't perfect, but I blushed because he had just said I was an intelligent grandson, "If you really wanted to push the production, how much blood can we harvest without harming them?" "Harvesting only from the cows that aren't pregnant and the bulls, we could manage 75 liters a month, more than enough for the household with Andrew taking one deer and a dozen rabbits a month and everyone hunting as often as they seem to enjoy." I got one of my `feelings' again and I went with it. "And if we wanted say, 100 cows? How many bulls would we keep for breeding? How much land would it use? What about the numbers for sheep?" "You've got 300 acres of good pasture land on the southern end Greg, we could easily handle 100 beef cattle. Mix in 5 or 6 bulls, we'd need to keep them a good distance from the cows, and separated from each other as well, but we could mix sheep in with them. Maybe 20 each field... I suppose if we wanted to, we could harvest 300 liters of beef blood, along with 30 or so of sheep, why so much?" "My pack includes every vampire within roughly 200 miles of this house. I'd like to be able to offer fresh blood to them. If not to everyone, at least those with pups under 5. We could distribute it through the school to start. Can you handle all of this or do you need help?" "I can manage it but I'll need extra hands for the harvesting. Find me two vampire farm hands and I'll take care of it. With a herd that size, we'll have an excess of fresh beef though. I suppose we can use it for the school as well." "Excellent thinking, I like it. Keep these numbers in mind when you talk to Leonard tomorrow about structures you'll need." Then another thought crossed my mind "Billy, call Tammy Patrillo and see if any of the neighboring farms are for sale. We might not have to build if we can buy. They might have stock they'll sell as well. If it already has hormones, we can butcher it first and be done with it quickly, just an idea. Anyway, I didn't mean to add to your work, I just stopped to say hey. I'm headed to the office." We were just walking into the office when my phone rang. I saw that it was Patrick, so I closed the doors and answered. "Yes?... Well how soon can you be at SBA?... Yes, get there. I'll have Frederick call you, and Patrick? You might think you see some things on that plane but you're mistaken, it's just you, your wife, Frederick, and Leonard, am I being clear?... In the interest of being crystal clear, what's not on that plane is worth more than your lives. If you can't deal with that, find another way to get here by midnight tonight... Good, get there, I'll see you tonight." I ended the call and immediately called Frederick "Patrick is on his way to SBA and he's bringing his wife, how much longer until you're ready to leave?... Perfect, he should be there around that time, bring him to me... If you can, yes, but I told him there is nothing on that plane but the four of you, regardless of what his eyes tell him. He understands... That's fine, if you want to do that... Ok, call me before you takeoff, in case anything changes." I grabbed my secure phone and made another call "George, Greg, I need Patrick and his wife to die, tonight if you can... no not them literally, he's flying here with Frederick and I'm going to change him and his wife... He can still do work for you when I don't need him, his connections won't question things... That will work, do you want me to pay for the plane?... If it takes off from SBA that would be perfect, his car will be there... Excellent, and it would be best if only those involved know the truth, to your whole pack, he really is on that plane, understand?... Thanks George, the next few days are going to be rather complicated, how much do you trust my judgement?... I don't want you to know details yet, in case it goes bad, the less you know, the better. I'll fill you in when I can... Thanks, we'll talk next week if not sooner." I ended that call and turned to Billy, "When you talk to Tammy, tell her I need a nice 3 or 4 bedroom house in the North Hills. Something similar to what Mike buys. We'll put Patrick there after his change. He can stay in the VIP suite here until then. And go ask Sebastian if he's talked to Sam's dad in the last few months, I don't need him coming around causing problems. I'd like them to work things out as a family, but Sam and Sebastian are ours now, the dad, er son, what's his name?" "Maurice, Maurice Renaud." "I'm a terrible Alpha, Billy, I thought Sam's last name was Bowers?" "That's what he told us, and what all his paperwork has now. He changed it when he went onto the streets." "Well he can be who he wants. I'm going to get some wine, do you want any?" "I'll bring it back Greg, try to relax, please? You're all over the place." I went to try to relax on the sofa as Billy went to talk with Sebastian. I was looking out over the lake thinking about the last few months when I smelled Scott coming down the hall with the pups. He sat down and picked up Davie, Charlie climbed onto my lap. "I'm not going to ask for details, but something really has you upset babe. Are you ok?" "Just stuff with Igor and the Council. I won't lie, I'm blocking you. Please don't try to get around it yet?" "I won't, ever. You're my mate, but you're also my Alpha, I'll always respect that. But remember, I am your mate and I'm here if you need me. Billy and Bea too, Just the four of us, like you said in Paris." I smiled, thinking of that night when we all realized the four-way mating we had. Less than two months ago, and already it felt like we'd shared our lives forever, and we had forever ahead of us still. "You know, we still need to have Lorenz and Eckhart visit. Have you talked to either of them lately?" "Not at all. I hope that means they're doing fine? Should we call?" "Not now, maybe soon. I have to talk with Joshua and Samantha, then change Josh. Patrick, you remember him?" Scott nodded "He's coming in with his wife tonight. I'm going to change them both, well, maybe I'll get Billy to do the wife. I need to know Patrick's secrets before he dies, if he's lied to me he won't come back. Sorry hon, that sounds so cold, but it's how things are for now. And I might have to kill tomorrow night. I'll be going to New York, alone." Scott looked at me, not with surprise that I was calmly talking about killing, but with concern. "Alone? You sure you'll be safe?" "I'm going to test some magic with Frederick in the morning. If it works like I expect, I'll be completely safe. Since I first learned about it, my magic has increased incredibly. I thought I'd have to study all those texts and scrolls, but I just have to think about what I want and my threads reach out and do it. Watch." I looked at Charlie and he started floating. I turned him over a few times as he giggled, then I settled him back into my lap. Davie had been watching and laughed "Me Da! Me!", so I flipped him over a few times and rested him back in Scott's lap. "That seems fine and all, but it seems tame." "It is tame hon, but I did nothing but think. No hand motions like Frederick or Stephan showed us, no words, just thought. I'd show you more but I think I'd scare you." "You won't scare me, Greg. Use me and show him what we did last night." Billy said as he walked in with our wine. "You sure? I thought I had killed you that last time." "Well, it did hurt, but I'm tough. Let's go down to the library where it's private." So we left the wine on the desk and headed for the vault. After we were inside with the door secured, I told the pups to stay with Pop and watch. Billy shifted, and attacked me. He didn't hesitate or give me any warning, just shifted and tried to rip my throat out. It didn't take me one second to shift, then I reached out with my mind and froze him in place. I was holding him in a magical bind, balanced on one foot. His eyes went to Scott and we heard him in our minds `see, I can't move. He can crush me like this, he did last night.' I relaxed the bonds slowly so he didn't fall on his face, and once he was free, we shifted back. "That's amazing babe, but you kinda knew it was coming. Can you react that fast with no warning?" "I'm not sure. Billy tried several times to surprise me last night and the best he could do was a scratch on my face before I had him. I also set a few fires, well, not fires really." "He turned a log to ash in a flash fire. We think he could do that to an attacker as well but I'm not willing to be the guinea pig for that one." Billy said with a laugh. "If you can do these things, there have to be other magic users with similar power though. If you come up against one of those..." "That's what I need to talk with Frederick about. Remember the prophecy, I'm supposed to have more power than anyone has ever had. It's possible that I'm unique in some of the abilities, I just don't know. This much power scares me though, what if I give in to it and become a dictator?" "The fact that you're asking that means you won't babe. Do you remember your first shift? What was it that kept you in control?" "Love, life, protect, and mate. But you were there. You won't always be right there." "I can be half-way around the world and I'll be there babe, always. But `love, life, protect'... doesn't sound like a dictator to me, does it to you Billy?" "Never. You remember our first night? You told me to always speak my mind? Well, if I ever see a hint of a dictator I'll knock you on your ass and tell you." I smiled at that. "Thanks Billy. It's nice to know that your goal is to knock me on my ass." "Ass" said Davie. "Oops! Grandma's gonna kill one of us for that one!" Billy got a text saying Josh and Samantha were at the gate. We locked up and went to the office and I sent Bea a thought to come get the pups, if she was feeling better. She came in a minute later and took them up to the tower study to play. Scott and I were in the chairs looking over the lake when Andrew came to announce Josh and Samantha. I asked him to bring them drinks, and refill our wine and told them to relax on the couch. He came back with the drinks and closed the door as he left. "Would you prefer to talk business or life first Joshua? Both need addressed at some point this afternoon." "I think we should deal with the elephant in the room first, if you don't mind?" "I would agree. I'm going to assume Samantha has told you a lot but you still have many questions. I'll answer as many as I can, but trust me, the next few months, you'll learn something new daily. Do you have a copy of the traditions at home Samantha? Did he get a chance to look at one?" "We do Alpha, but we haven't had a chance. We drove up to the park and took a walk and just talked." "Please call me Greg? Like I told Joshua, if you're calling me Alpha, we're either in the company of vampires we don't know and don't like, or you're in trouble. Billy, grab our copy so he can skim through it while we talk, please? What are the top three questions you have for now Josh, we can start there." "Well like Sammy said, we talked a lot. I know about drinking blood for healing, and reverse aging, and that our kids, er, pups, will need it more often. I asked questions I'm sure you get sick of... garlic, stake through the heart, all the stories, so I know the realities there. And no, I didn't even ask if you sparkle, we were walking in full sunshine." We all smiled "I guess what I'm wondering is what has to happen to change me, does it hurt, and you said something about her dad and the honor of doing it? Could you start there?" Billy handed Josh the book as I started "First, that book is a book of vampire traditions. In it, you will find how vampires have interacted with each other, and with humans for centuries. You can study it, and learn all of those things, but as Bob Dylan said `The times, they are a changin'. I don't mean to make light of things, but the fact is that I refuse to have my pack run by those ancient rules that excluded women, treated pups like property, and kept the weak down and the strong in control." "It's easy for me to sit in this big house and say that, but I'd like to think I mean it. I said all of that to lead into your last question first. What I meant about her dad having the honor of changing you is simply that. If a vampire mates with a human, the vampire's father has a right to be the one to change the human. It connects the new changeling, that's a vampire that was born human, it connects them as not only a son-in-law in your case, but as a son. That will make more sense after I tell you how it's done. Do you want just an overview? Or graphic details?" "As much detail as you like Greg, I need to know what I'm facing." "The short version is that I, if I'm doing it, will rip into your flesh somewhere near a major artery and suck the blood from your body until there's not enough left for your heart to beat. As soon as I hear that last heartbeat, I'll open the vein in my wrist and hold it to your mouth for you to feed. At that point, you can choose life, or death. If you choose life, you'll feed on me for hours as your body regenerates, and changes into one of us. The movies aren't far off on how they've shown it, at least until that last idiotic series. Because I'm giving you life, a rebirth, I am your maker, in vampire terms, your father." "Sounds like I'm in for a lot of pain? But I see the father thing, it makes sense. Why would you do it rather than Sammy's dad though?" "I'm the Alpha of the pack. To be blunt, I can do whatever I please, if I want to be like that. I'm not like that though, and I offered the choice. To her dad, the honor is gaining a true son as a son-in-law. To you, the honor is being your Alpha's son, in a full measure. You'd be equal to all my other pups. We have four under the age of 5, and a daughter that is... I really don't remember if Tanya told us, I think she's 15? If I'm honest, with the position I've offered you in our businesses, I'd prefer you were my son, but I told you, I'm not like that. The job stands alone, regardless of who your maker is. It isn't even tied to you changing. If you decide that you don't want to go through with this, the job is still yours. I have to make sure you understand that our existence is a carefully guarded secret. Meaning if you don't change, and ever reveal that vampires are real, you forfeit your life. Although, if I thought you were going to reveal that, you'd be dead already." "Somehow I understood that at the dealership, and I appreciate your honesty. And I understand you're stating facts, not making threats. Samantha called her dad and he said I'd be a fool not to accept the honor from you, but he will defer to your choice. Since you've said twice that it is my choice, I'll take you at your word and say I'd like the honor of being your son, if you want me?" "You need to know a few things before we commit to that choice Josh. First, you met my husband Scott, so you know I'm gay, but Scott is not my only mate. I have three. Billy is my Beta as well as my mate, and his mate Bea is also mated to the rest of us. In our mating, we are equals and we all bear three mate bites. We can go into that detail later, but as my son, you are also Scotts, Billy's and Bea's. With your age, we don't expect you to call us Dad, Pop, Papa, and Mom like the pups do, but we wouldn't reject it either. Another issue with being changed by your Alpha so you can mate a pack member is addressed in that book. Traditionally, when an Alpha changes a mate for a pack member, he also sexually mounts them and the changing bite is done when he climaxes. That is another thing that I will leave to you. I do not condone sex being used as a weapon of power and I will not tolerate non-consensual sex in my pack. I don't know if Samantha was aware of this tradition so I don't know if she mentioned it." "I knew about it Greg, and I said it might happen. That's entirely up to Josh." "Does it make a difference? I mean, am I somehow different once I'm changed if that's not done?" "I don't really know the answer to that Josh. I know it's not part of a changing if her father would do it, so I have to assume there's no difference. I can tell you that the mating bond allows telepathic communication, and the bond I have with my daughter allows me to send thoughts to her. She hasn't sent me any but I don't know if she's tried. If no one has told you, I'm a changeling myself, and a lot of this is new to me as well." "Samantha mentioned that. To be honest, and Sammy knows this, I'm not totally straight so it wouldn't be the first time, and if I do something, I prefer to go all in, so unless you object, I think I'd want that." "I don't object Josh, honestly, you're rather handsome. But I want to be clear, this would be a one time thing. I'm not saying we won't ever... I just mean I'm not going to be expecting anything other than this one time for the changing. My mates accept that I'll be sexually active with others, you and Samantha might not be so open minded, but again, that's a discussion for another time. Any other concerns you have?" "Will I have to fake a death? Avoid old friends and family?" "That depends on you. I'm thinking Samantha explained that you'll age normally, so you can live your life and let your parents die of old age never knowing the truth. Any siblings, we can deal with as you age and we might fake a death if any outlive the age you choose to regenerate. The same with friends, but your life after the change will revolve around your pack, almost to the exclusion of most of your friends, so if you have a large circle, it may create problems." "I'm an only child, and I didn't make friends in school, I was so far ahead of everyone. I got to be friends with Jonathan and his wife, at the dealership, but I can cut that one off easy enough." My laugh shocked him "Jonathan is one of us Joshua. All managers and above at our dealerships are vampires. He almost wet himself when I walked in today." "That explains his reaction to you huh? And if I'm reading things right, Bobby and Teddy are pups? You arranged for Todd and Lisa to adopt?" "They were orphaned, Todd and Lisa stepped up, and yes, the final say was mine. I'm very happy with how that's turning out. What else?" "I don't know Greg, we could go on for hours I'm sure. I think I have the picture of what I'm facing, at least in the near future. Oh, will I be able to do that thing with my eyes like you did?" I laughed again "I hope you'll have that control in time, yes. I hope all my pups do. Samantha, I don't mean to embarrass you, but of all of us here, I think you'd be the least likely to scare him, would you shift please? Josh, watch your mate please." She looked from me to him, afraid she'd scare him, but she did as I asked, dropping her 1" fangs and turning her eyes into a beautiful shade of crimson. To his credit, he didn't react at all, just smiled at her and quietly said "So lovely." "That reaction tells me you're ready and have accepted our world. You'll see me shift when we hunt once you've recovered, I'm quite a different animal. Now, to business if we may?" "Yes, I think so. What pay and benefits and such? What will I be doing exactly?" "Pay and benefits are, well, there are none Josh. You're my son, and in my pack. You'll have access to any money that you want or need. No limits, I just ask that you realize there are hundreds of people living like that, and try to be reasonable. We don't need medical insurance, so that's a non-issue. As far as what you'll do, you'll run the entire automotive group. Buy more dealerships, renovate, change policies, sell a few, hell sell them all. They're yours to control as you see fit. You answer only to me, and I'd like to think your decisions will increase the pack's profits to provide a better life for all of us." He sat there stunned for almost two minutes, processing what I had said. "You're not kidding are you? Do anything at all, as long as it makes sense to me." "As long as you can look me in the eye and say that what you did, you did with sincere intent to improve the pack, yes. Let's say that you honestly believe that electric vehicles will take over the market, and you sell everything and buy Tesla, I'll support that. If it fails, well, I'm trusting you and we'll accept it as a mistake, and move on. Though I don't think I can quite buy out Elon Musk, yet, but you understand what I'm saying. For now, we have three groups, set up geographically. The leaders of those three will answer to you. Add more managers, add more groups, break them up into smaller groups, whatever makes sense to you, to achieve your goals." "With your approval, right?" "The reason I'm doing this is so I don't have to be giving approval all the time. You're free to ask me for my thoughts, but I'm saying don't ask, just do. Am I not being clear enough?" "Oh you're being clear, I'm just having a hard time believing it." "You accept that vampires are real after two minutes, yet you can't believe that you are being given the job you were born for. Sounds like me a bit, doesn't he hon?" "I was just thinking about all the similarities babe. He's your son already, that's for sure." "Oh, back to the changing, there's one thing you need to be aware of. I'm here to guide you through it, but changelings are sometimes, how should I say it, well, we're different than born vampires. I'll teach you how to deal with it, and I have one of the world's best to help us." "You're talking about magic?" I snapped my head around to stare at Samantha, my Alpha eyes on full display "How do you know about magic and who have to talked with about it?" I growled. "I'm sorry Alpha. My dad's a changeling and he's got magic. Our whole family knows about it and we all know to keep it secret. I just assumed Josh would too, so I mentioned it." "Your lives are in danger even knowing about it. There's so much I need to go into for that to make sense, but listen carefully and understand my full meaning here. Discussing magic with anyone outside of this household puts my life at risk, and the lives of my mates and pups. I will defend them to the death, with everything I have, am I being clear?" They both instantly said "Yes Alpha." "Samantha, contact your father, mother... anyone in your family that knows of his magic. I want them in this house by sundown tomorrow. Todd, Lisa and their pups will stay here tonight, call them and let them know, this is not a request." "Yes Alpha, what do I say when they ask why?" "Todd and Lisa will do it because I said. Tell your father... Tell him Lucien is asking about him. If he doesn't know that name I'll, well, if he doesn't know that name make up something you know he'll believe. Is he in a pack? Todd said he's in Quebec?" "No Sir, he grew up there, we live in Mars. When I refreshed, I moved back in and enrolled at Pitt." "Makes it easy, tell any of them in the area that I require that they come here. Make up what you need to for any others. Make your calls, now. Billy, take her to your office so she can talk." Once she was gone and the door closed, I looked at Josh "You've accepted some rather extreme things today, so I'm going to add to the list. I believe my magic led me to you today. I'm not in the habit of visiting the dealers and testing salesmen, but today we were driving by and I got an incredibly strong... I don't know, feeling I guess, anyway, I felt like if I didn't stop I would be missing out on something important. When you smiled at me as you came out, it hit me again. I know it sounds corny, but it's the only way I can explain it. That said, you're joining us at a very dangerous time. I'll explain everything when I can, but the short version is that the vampire world is changing, and we're a big part of that. And you know how those that have power hate anything that changes the balance of power." "I don't think you're corny or crazy Greg. I've gotten those feelings all my life. Today was my day off, but I woke up on time for work and went in just to make a few phone calls before going to see Samantha. I didn't need to do that, but as I was driving, something told me I should go in, just for an hour or so. Will you change me tonight, please? I have a sense of urgency now." "Scott, I'd just change our hunt tonight, but Lucas brought home a mate, and she was looking forward to it. Can you and Billy work with Bea on merging her beast? The two of you are already skilled enough. Maybe let Lucas stalk some for the pups, see if you can help LeAnn?" I quickly explained in thought, the reason LeAnn wasn't with her dad. "Billy and I will handle it Greg, you take Josh and Samantha to our room after dinner. We'll join you after the hunt." Samantha came back to say her parents would be here by 5. Todd and Lisa had just picked up the pups at school and were also on their way. She had no other siblings, and her mother's parents had chosen not to refresh, and were both gone. That certainly helped, I just hoped her dad was a reasonable man. I didn't want to kill her father the same day I killed her mate. ************************************************************************** I've had many requests for this, so I'll try to list the main characters here.
