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 isn't 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. With work, I'm getting about a chapter done a week. So I'll post twice a week, and see how that flows. 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 DONATE to Nifty so you can continue to enjoy my story, and the thousands of others!!!! https://donate.nifty.org/ ********************************************************************************************* We walked to the dining room and I could smell the tension as we entered. Andrew had put all the extensions in the table, and there were no empty seats. He had added a fifth chair at the head, so I stood at the center seat, with Scott and Joshua to my right, Billy and Bea to my left. "I will start by saying don't always believe everything you hear. I will explain more on that when we're done eating and Mary can take all the pups to watch a movie. Most of you have met my son Joshua. He found his beast today, and he is rather unique. You'll see soon enough, so I'll explain it to you now. He is my heir, he stands equal to Billy, but he is not a Beta. Billy is my second, and do not forget that. Joshua stands outside the normal chain, until we sort out his exact role. Please treat him with the respect he deserves. Until we are finished eating and the pups are gone, I have nothing else, enjoy your meal." I sat and my family enjoyed the meal. Samantha turned to Josh and asked "What about your beast is different?" Joshua looked to me, and when I nodded, he said "I'm as big as Billy's beast, but my eyes glow golden yellow." "Oh, can I see?" Once again, Joshua looked to me for the ok before he turned and changed his eyes into two golden glowing orbs. As he looked around the table, everyone looked, then lowered their eyes in submission. When his gaze stopped on Billy, they looked at each other and smiled, then Joshua looked to me and instinctively lowered his gaze. I smiled, and looked around the table to see that my pack had accepted this unconventional addition to our pack. After a few minutes, Patrick looked to Billy "Will my eyes look like that?" "No. Lucas, you have rather good control, would you show my son what to expect?" So Lucas turned to Patrick and showed him the standard crimson eyes of a pack member. Patrick nodded then said "May I ask, who has different eyes and what they look like?" Billy turned to me and I said "Patrick, in your previous career, you had stars, or stripes, or bars, to denote rank. A vampire pack has our scents, our eyes, and our physical size to denote pack structure. Lucas, and most everyone in here, will have those red eyes you just saw. Billy's eyes, as a Beta, glow with a beautiful shade of emerald green. His mate Bea's eyes are also emerald green, with just a hint of a glow. Sam there, is an Alpha, and as such his eyes are the same crimson that yours will be, but you will notice they glow very brightly, and Tanya's eyes have that same hint of a glow." When I used Sam as the example for an Alpha, Frederick turned to stare at me. I could see the question in his eyes. Billy had noticed it when I shifted with Joshua yesterday, and I wasn't sure, but I had a guess. Amanda didn't know not to ask, so she did. "And your eyes Greg?" "In the last two days my son and my mother have said things that have educated me. Yesterday, I told Joshua a lie, to cover a secret. His reply was to ask that I never lie to him, but I am free to keep secrets from him. Donna said that I should never lie to my pack, and I agree with her, but I have to balance my role as your Alpha with that of a Prince of the Council. There will be things I need to keep to myself, and I ask that you respect that and don't take offense." "So your eye color is one of those secrets? Won't we see it when you shift?" asked Patrick. I heard Billy's soft growl as he said "You're not used to our world so I'll excuse it one last time. You do not question your Alpha!" "I didn't mean... I'm sorry Alpha, I meant no disrespect." I put my hand on Billy's arm "Patrick has lived his life asking questions, and he will continue to do so at my directions, I think we can forgive his curiosity. But we have several at our table tonight that are new to this, including me still, so maybe we should discuss what is and isn't acceptable, at least in this pack." "Excuse me Sire, should I take the pups first?" "No Mary, these are things they also need to know if they are going to grow up in a pack that doesn't plan to follow that traditions book to the letter. I suppose I should give a little background, so we all have the same basic knowledge. Feel free to finish your dessert, and I might leave out some details, but if I start to confuse you, please, ask your questions." Everyone relaxed a bit and some started into their cakes. Half of these people knew most of what I was about to cover, so they didn't need to focus. "I was born human, 17 years and 7 months ago next week. I met Scott and felt an immediate connection, and while we were out one afternoon, I fell from a tree stand. The fall would have been fatal, but Scott carried me back to his father and convinced him to change me. Over the course of the next few weeks, my human father died in a car crash, I found I had an infant half-brother. That would be Charlie, and on the advice of friends, Scott and I changed him so he would age with his adopted brother Davie." "When I found my beast, I also learned I was an Alpha, but had no idea what that really meant. I have never liked people who expected respect just because of a title, I always felt that respect should be given where it had been earned. So, when my pack, and yes, that seemed odd to me, `my pack', but when my pack kept calling me Sir or Alpha, I quit arguing the point." "When three of the Princes from the Council came to tell me I had been selected to serve with them, I was shocked. I hadn't been a vampire for a month, yet they're asking me to help rule? I've always felt it is your responsibility to help those in your community, so I had no choice but to accept. I saw it as serving other vampires, a way to improve their lives where I could. I've come to find it's a lot more complicated." I turned "Would you please explain to our newest changelings what they can expect Frederick?" "Of course, Sire, everything?" and when I nodded, he went on. "I was born Silvanus Aurelius, around the same time as a certain Jewish boy was born in Bethlehem. The Prince you know as George, changed me so I could be mate to his granddaughter. Shortly after my change, I realized something was different about me, and after discussing it with him, I started a lifelong quest." "I could tell you about many things over the past 2000 years, but I will make it as simple as I can. Some changelings, for reasons we do not understand, have the ability to control powers that most simply call magic. Until I met Greg, I was the most powerful in these arts that I knew of. I have spent my life gathering knowledge, and trying to teach those I found how to use their abilities. I have also instructed them to keep this a secret. Being a magic user became a death sentence under the Council of Nine. Shall I continue Sire?" "Tell them Frederick, most in here already know." "In my research I discovered an ancient prophecy that spoke of a coming changeling who would be a King. Many of us are convinced that Greg is this King. The lines that describe him as a man fit Greg perfectly, the lines later tell of him uniting all vampires and bringing them out from a time of fear." "We have strayed a bit from where I was going when I started, but Patrick, Amanda, and Tanya... You may or may not have magical abilities. You might be powerful, or you might just be able to do simple stunts, or nothing. Frederick and others will help you figure that out. I started this conversation because Patrick did something that would not be acceptable under the old ways, so let me get back to that issue." "Like I said, when some of you started calling me Alpha, or Sir, I didn't feel I had earned that respect. I've come to understand it is no different than Joshua calling me `Dad', or Andy calling me `Uncle'. You're doing it out of love, so I will simply say to you all, that you can call me Greg, or Alpha, or Sir, or Sire, or Uncle, however you choose. I will not reject your love by correcting you. There are times we need to keep the appearance of formality, but I trust you to know when that is." "Andrew has decided that if I am to be King, my children should be treated as Lords and Ladies. I won't object to that, as I know it comes from that same spirit. But I will say," as I gave my boys a harsh look "that if I hear of them becoming entitled or mean, I will handle it quickly, and harshly. Am I undersood?" "Yes Father." said Brandon. "What's entitled mean Dad?" asked Chipper. "It means you act like you are better than someone else. When you feel you deserve something, just because of who you are." "You found me living by a trash dumpster Dad, I'm not better than anyone else. I don't deserve anything I didn't earn." I smiled at his words. "Where you came from doesn't matter, it's where you want to go that matters." Joshua spoke up "May I speak, Father?" I nodded, "When Andrew called me `My Lord' it confused me, but after what Dad said I need to say how honored I feel that you would accept me that way. I don't want treated special, and like Dad said, my name is Joshua, please call me that, but if you use other titles, I will simply hear `love' and accept it." A few said a quiet "Thank you, My Lord." and I saw Andrew smile and give Joshua a small nod. "We've strayed a bit again, but back to Patrick questioning me. In older packs, the Alpha declared how things are, and they were simply done, no questions. There are times we have to operate like that, and I hope I can make those times clear, but most of the time I am open to questions or suggestions. I want what's best for you, and sometimes I can't see things clearly. I appreciate your help at those times." "Then, if I may Sire?" Patrick asked. "Yes?" "You still haven't told us about your eyes." I laughed "No, I guess I haven't, have I? All this wandering talk I've done did have a point. The point being that I am a vampire, like all of you" and I let my eyes change to the simple red of my pack "I am also your Alpha" and I let my eyes glow the deep red of an Alpha. "I am also a Super-Alpha, with over a dozen packs that answer to me" as I let the glow brighten, as the color changed slightly. "But until Joshua changed, I thought that was it. I wasn't aware that Princes had an eye color, but when Joshua shifted, I shifted, and Billy noticed this." As I let my eyes changed into the bright glowing purple he had noticed yesterday. "Sire, may I speak on this?" Frederick asked. "I have a feeling my assumption is correct Frederick, but yes, please say what you know." "A Prince of the Nine, when he shifts to his full Prince form, has blue eyes Sire. In 2000 years, I have never seen eyes of royal purple." "Somehow, that's what I thought you were going to say. And you had to say `Royal' purple, didn't you?" "I did Sire, purple has been a royal color for thousands of years. If I may be direct, I see you can control your eye color choice, and I would advise you to refrain from showing the purple. And that this fact not leave this room." "I think everyone already assumed that, but I would agree. Mary, the pups have heard all of this, they might as well know everything." I turned to my sons "Granddad isn't dead." The looks on their faces told me they knew this so I looked up to address the pack. "James was attacked, no, betrayed, by an old friend. Kevin was trying to get information about me, on orders from another Prince. Kevin died, my father lives. I am still struggling with the issue of whether to lie to the community and pretend Dad is dead to see how the game plays out, or remaining honest, above all else." "Sire? If I might suggest?" "Yes Andrew?" "The US developed the atomic bomb, and even the Vice President knew nothing about it until Roosevelt died. Truman knew nothing until they brought it to him after he was sworn in. The people of the country knew nothing until it was used. Truman didn't resent FDR, and the people didn't resent either of them. There is a major difference between secrets, deceptions, and lies. I can only speak for myself, but if you need to deceive me in order for some plan to work, I will not judge you for it. If you need to keep secrets from me, no, let me say that one differently. You NEED to keep secrets from me, and I respect that. I do appreciate that you don't want to lie to me, but I look at your intent Sire." There was a muttering of agreement, and as I looked around, all I saw was love and support. "Well, I think I've said all I need to for tonight. I've talked so much I didn't get to enjoy Amie's cake. I'm going to take it to my office and finish it. Patrick, would you join us? Mom, are you and Amanda..." "Not tonight Greg, Patrick will be hunting with Billy, and we want him there. We'll go tomorrow night, while you're away." "Enjoy your evenings then, I will be hunting with my son as well. It might be best if no one is out, with two new vampires hunting, but use your judgment." "Dad? When can I go on my first hunt?" Brandon said as I was starting to leave. "You're still a bit young, aren't you buddy?" "You said you're not going to go by the traditions in your pack, right?" "I did say that, but that doesn't change the fact that your beast will only come out when your body is ready. I'm told that's around puberty, and not just at the beginning of it." He lowered his voice just a bit and said "I'm getting hairs Dad, and I've been shooting stuff since we were in Hawaii. I know I'm young, and all that doesn't mean much, but I can feel my beast wanting out Dad." "Let me get some advice ok buddy? I didn't go through this, so let me talk to Pop and Papa? This is important, and I want to do right by you, ok?" "Ok Dad. I'm not fighting him down yet, but he really wants out when..." I laughed "I know when buddy, can you wait a week? Let me take care of a few things and talk to Pop and Papa? Then you and I can talk." "Ok Dad. I kinda want to come watch Joshua hunt, but I know you need to train him. Can he come with us on my first hunt?" "You can ask him, it's your first hunt buddy, but let's figure out when it is before we plan it, ok? I have to get going." I got a big hug and kiss from him, then he turned and led his brothers towards the family room. I headed to the office, followed by Billy, Joshua, and Patrick. Before we talked about the hunt, I asked Patrick for his thoughts on what I should do about Dad. "That depends on the message you want to send, Greg." I must have looked confused because he continued "If you want to let Igor know he failed, you can do that by suddenly finding your dad alive. If you want to let him know that you know he was behind it, you can tell how you rescued him. I'm assuming that's where you went, but I don't need to know. If you want to force him into another play, then you keep him hidden and go on with the charade." "All of those options leave my pack in danger. Any advice?" "I don't know the whole game Greg, but from what I do know, I think you need to pretend to play his game and see where it leads." "Which means keeping Dad a secret." I said. "That's my take on it, yes. But you know more than I do, so consider everything." I thought for a minute, then asked "How long can we play stupid and still make `finding him alive' seem plausible?" "Depends on the story you use on where he was and how you found him, but I'd say no more than a week. From what I know, the worst injuries he could survive would fully heal in that time, and taking longer would make it seem odd that he didn't contact you." "There's also the bond Greg. I think we have to decide tomorrow night, otherwise it will seem odd that he didn't contact Donna through the bond when he first woke up, regardless of how badly he was injured." Billy added. Patrick looked confused "Bond?" "There's a mental connection between mates, Patrick. I can sit here and have a conversation in my thoughts with Scott, Billy, or Bea. Donna said she can sense he's alive, and has talked to him from here when he was in Germany." "Oh, then yeah, if that's well known it would seem odd." "Billy? Your thoughts?" "His advice seems sound Greg." I turned to Joshua and he said "He has it exactly how I see it Dad. If we simply found Granddad tonight, we are going to be waiting for their next move, and having no idea where he'll act. If we expose his involvement, we risk drawing the lines for a war I'd like to avoid. So far, we don't know how much his supporters really support him. Is it fear or love? If we play the cards he's given us and keep him dead to the world, we have a card to play, when we choose to play it. It's nice to have an ace in the hole, as they say." "Thank you all. That is exactly how I was seeing it, and it's always good to have your thoughts confirmed. Billy, take Patrick to hunting rock. Teach him all you can by dawn, you can sleep on the plane. Joshua and I will be on the ridge north of here. Those houses aren't finished yet and I want to use the gate guards as targets for him." Billy, Josh, and I started undressing and Patrick stood there looking confused. "The three of us can't shift without ruining clothing, you'll understand later. But also, vampires hunt naked, when we can. Clothing is so human, being naked allows you to be yourself, and to find your beast on his terms." "Thanks Billy. Amanda and I are nudists, so it's not a problem, it just caught me off guard." He said, as he too undressed. "Pack nature tends to lead us all to gravitate to the family room in the evening if we're not busy. You'll find most are nude, so you should feel right at home." Billy added. "Not something you told me about Dad. Is this just your pack?" "It seems to be a general thing Josh. I bet if you asked Samantha, she and Todd both grew up naked." My son just nodded as he considered this, then he and I headed over the deck and around the pool house. As we neared the woods I shifted, and without my saying anything, he did too. He had quickly learned to control his eyes in my office earlier, so I expected he would be able to learn everything just as easily. I wasn't disappointed. We had only been in the woods an hour before we were sitting 300 yards from the guardhouse with Joshua telling me what was playing on the guard's playlist. He adjusted, and told me they had eaten all the pizza because the scent was there, but faint so it must be just the box. I told him to stalk them, and we silently crept up and were standing to either side of the door when one said he was going to take a walk and look around. I mentally told Josh to hide, but that was a waste of time because he was already sinking into the shadows. When the door opened, the guard stopped and looked around. "Alpha?" I stepped out of the shadows and shifted "When did you notice me?" "About ten minutes ago, but you're not alone?" I smiled and waved for Joshua to join us. "Have you met my son?" "Brandon?!?" "Oh, no, this is Joshua, my heir. When did you realize I wasn't alone?" "You trained us to know your scent, so we picked you up about ten minutes ago, like I said. Donny said he thought he saw someone with you but he wasn't sure. Your scent is so strong it covered his up so I wasn't sure until I stepped outside." "I didn't hear either of you say anything about us, are you mated?" Josh asked. "Oh no, My Lord, come in, I'll show you." So we followed him inside, where he showed us a notepad they had used to write their conversation. "We figured if we're being stalked, we don't want to let them know that we know, so we communicate this way." "That is awesome. Was this your idea just now? Or does everyone use it?" "We thought of it when Lucas and LeAnn were stalking us. The pizza box was her idea, it's a few days old, but the smell confuses the scents in here, if you're not used to it. For a weaker trained vampire, it makes it hard to count how many are here." "So you were hoping I didn't notice Tommy hiding in your bathroom?" Joshua said with a laugh. Tommy stepped out grinning "I'm impressed, My Lord. On your first night too." "He has impressed me from the start Tommy, but I have to say, I'm also impressed by your guards. I'm very happy they knew we were coming. Keep up the good work guys, I really appreciate it." They all thanked me and asked if they should handle things differently if others stalked them. I told them to use their best judgment and if they didn't know who the stalker was, assume them to be hostile and act accordingly. As Tommy walked back to the house with Josh and I, he told me of his concerns. "I understand everyone needs to learn these things Greg, but you actually mentioned the problem. If the guards don't recognize who's stalking them, they put everyone on alert. We could accidentally harm one of our own. I would prefer we don't stalk the guards. Use someone as a target and send them out, like you did with Sam. If you're just wanting to work on vision and hearing, let the guard shack know, or use the house as your target, with those guards knowing in advance." "He's right Dad. They didn't know my scent and they assumed you were training, but they could have just as easily assumed I was taking you away against your will." "I hadn't thought about those possibilities Tommy, I'm sorry. Pass the word so it doesn't happen. If nothing else, I'm sure Lucas would enjoy being stalked, as long as he can turn the tables and stalk his pursuers." "I'm sure he would Greg, I'm sure he would." Tommy said with a long laugh. We stopped at the front door and I turned to look over the fields. It only took me a moment to scent Billy, then Patrick. They were just inside the trees so I focused to hear Billy say. "Awesome job son, I'm so proud of you." I smiled and sent a quick message, asking how much longer he would be. He replied two hours, so I told him I would see him in bed. Tommy had gone on in, and Joshua asked if we could talk, so we sat on the porch, enjoying the night. "I don't know if you knew it, but I slept with Brandon and Chipper last night, and planned to tonight as well. Samantha and I talked and since we waited to have sex up to this point, we thought it would be nice to wait until our mating takes place." "That is so romantic. Scott and I mated our first time too. We played some, but the first night we made love, we mated. I sense there's more to this though?" "Well, yeah. I heard Brandon ask you if I could be on his first hunt and I wanted to tell you... this feels awkward, but Brandon has asked me to teach him oral sex." "He has huh? Did he tell you I taught them both to masturbate?" "Chipper said that. That's why I'm talking to you now. If he hadn't said that, I would have just refused." "It's your choice Joshua, how do you feel? I drained your blood, I know your deepest secrets and fantasies. I know you would never harm your brothers." Be blushed and looked away, but I gently touched his arm "Tell me how you feel Joshua, I love you, no matter what you're about to say." "You know my fantasies, like you said. And you know I would never hurt them. I think Brandon is gay, and I think Chipper is just a boy that likes how things feel. Brandon asked me, I swear. I would never have thought about it." "That's not true Joshua. You asked me not to lie to you, and I expect the same from you. You would have thought about it, a lot, then you would have gone off to masturbate. Your fantasies would have stayed just that, your entire life, if you had remained human. You would never risk harming a boy, am I right." "No Father, I mean yes, you're right, I never would have crossed that line and done it. But..." "But vampires are more open and accepting about sexuality? But your brother asked you?" "Yeah. In college I heard some guys talking about teaching their brothers to jer... masturbate and I wished I had a little brother, just so I could go that far." I laughed "You can say `jerk off', I might be your Dad, but I'm younger than you. Will it help if I call you `dude' on occasion?" That got him to relax and he actually laughed "Thanks `dude', but no. I like what we have Greg. You're my Alpha, my King, my Dad, and my friend. I feel better now just because I know you know about this. But still, what do I do?" "Brandon is almost ready to have his first hunt. He'll be an adult after that, he could select a mate at that point and learn all this the hard way. Or he can have his brother lovingly share it with him, and teach him. I don't think he's ready for penetration, but I trust you to guide him. If he insists on that, maybe I will talk with you both together, if that's ok?" "Oh no, if he asks about that I'll make him wait. He's 5?" "5 and a half, so equal to a human at 11 or 12. Chipper is almost 3, we think, so think of him as a 6 year old boy. Did he hear this conversation between you and Brandon?" "He was asleep, I think. What if he wasn't?" "Use your judgment with him as well. He was curious about jerking off, so I taught him. I think he just wanted to be like his brother. I think I see the beginnings of a mate bond between him and Kailani. I really don't know." "I do too, but I don't know about touching him, being that young." "I think you just don't mention it. Try to do things privately with Brandon, and if Chipper asks, just do what he's asking about, nothing more. I agree that Brandon is either bi or gay, and he looks up to you already. If you really feel wrong about it, don't do it, and explain to him why. He'll come to me when he's ready, or he'll find a way. Lucas is closer to his age, and there's Andy. Not to mention all the pups he's in school with." I went on "I'll say this, then we can drop it if you want. If you help Brandon explore things, I don't want details unless you feel I need them. Know that you have my support in whatever you do. I will say again, I know you will never harm your brothers. And whether Brandon knows we've had this conversation is entirely up to you. I will never ask him. Anything else?" "No, thanks Dad. For not hating me for my... well, that." "One last thought you may not have considered, Samantha will read it in your blood. If not in the first mating bite, somewhere down the line, she'll know." "She knows. We had a long talk about everything last night. I wanted to know about her past lives and lovers, and felt she should know everything about mine. She asked if I'd take a male lover to fill that desire, or if I'd come to you." "And what did you say?" "When you changed me, you said we wouldn't..." "I said I didn't expect it, I didn't say we wouldn't. You are welcome in our bed anytime you feel that need. You are also welcome to take a male lover and never come to my bed again. It won't affect how I feel about you in any way." "I'll come to you at times. As to another lover, I guess time will tell." "A good way to look at things. You have centuries ahead of you." Almost like he knew we were talking about him, Brandon came out to say goodnight. "Tommy told us you were back Dad. I wanted to ask you something else, in private." "Should I go little buddy?" "No Josh, it's what I asked you last night." "Seeing as he's here asking, may I Joshua?" When I got a nod I went on "Joshua told me what you asked, and I told him it was his choice. Remember I told you that humans look at things differently and things like this between a father and son, or brothers, is considered bad?" "I know Dad, I shouldn't have asked him, I'm sorry." "Let me finish, ok? I said humans see it that way, you're a vampire..." His face lit up "Does that mean..." "I said let me finish pup.", I growled. "Yes Father." He said, a little nervously. "If Joshua agrees to what you've asked, and you ask something he's not comfortable with and he says no, you have to accept that. My guess is, he won't say no, but he'll say not yet. Do you understand the difference?" "No is final? Not yet means he thinks I'm not ready, or he's not ready?" "Your little brother is as amazing as you are Joshua. Yes baby, that's exactly it. And like I told Joshua, try to keep this away from Chipper. He's not ready yet. But if he discovers it, let your big brother lead, ok?" "Ok Dad. I was thinking about asking you but when you changed Joshua and he was in bed last night I thought... well, thanks Dad." I smiled and kissed my hormonal son. "Take your brother to bed Joshua. If you need privacy and Chipper is an issue, wait another few nights. There will be rooms changing soon enough." Brandon looked down at Joshua's lap "He had his foreskin cut off too Dad. Does that change how things are done?" I looked down to see his foreskin was pulled back as he was very erect. I reached down and gently stroked him as I said "Most doctors say yours is better, more sensitive. Makes things feel better. You'll never know though." He closed his eyes, enjoying my attention, and when I stopped, he begged "Please Dad, I was almost there." Joshua first looked to me, then turned to Brandon and said "You and I can go finish that, or Dad can finish for you, then I'll demonstrate what you asked, on him." "We can go. I'd rather you demonstrate on me!" Brandon said, pulling his brother along behind him. I laughed and sent Joshua `nice try, you can have mine another night'. His reply surprised me `when Samantha and I mate'.
