The sex isn't a major part of it, nor is it graphic. If you're looking for masturbation fodder, look elsewhere.
There will be many 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.

Behind me I heard several of my pups shouting at the same time.
Josh "Look out!"
Eric "Stop him!"
Derrick "Watch it Dad!"
Charlie "NOOO!!!!"
Igor had taken two steps when his body froze in mid-stride. He was held, like Billy had been, but I hadn't done it. My plan was to let him get to me, then shift to King form and kill him. His attack on me, with all these witnesses, would mean I would be able to say it was simply self-defense, and his pack might support my actions. My thoughts raced as I considered who might be holding him. I looked to Frederick and his face told me that he was as confused as I was.
Many in the crowd had screamed when Igor had rushed me, but now they were deathly silent, stunned at the incredibly powerful magic being used to hold Igor stationary. I looked at Hiroki Honda as if to ask if he were the magic user holding him, but he looked as amazed as everyone else. I turned to my pups, looking first at Josh, then Eric, then Derrick. Each seemed to be wondering the same thing I was, then I saw it. His face was screwed up in concentration as he held his spell, holding the vampire that had dared to attack his father.
He seemed to have things well under control, so I turned to
Igor and said "Starting with me, each of the Princes of the Council will feed
from you, Igor Markov, so there can be no doubt as to your guilt. Any Alpha
here can do the same, if they doubt their Princes honor. I will also select
several from your party to do the same, so they can testify to your pack of
your crimes."
I stepped off the stage and walked to Igor, roughly yanked his head to the
side, and buried my fangs into his neck. I saw the hate, the greed, the desire
for power, and I saw something else. Something that shocked me. I had seen
enough, so I released him and motioned for George to feed. Each of the Princes
fed, and I saw their faces react as they each saw what I had. I turned and
motioned for Joshua to feed as well. He was, after all, the Crown Prince. When
all the princes had fed, I turned to Igor's group.
"Which of you are Super Alphas?" Three stood, so I said "You
three will feed, and each of you choose an Alpha to feed as well."
They each pointed to someone, and the six of them stepped up and fed. I could
see the disgust on their faces as they saw the true nature of their leader. I
also noted the change in their expression as they saw the final piece of the
puzzle fall into place. When they had all fed, they stepped back, and as a
group, knelt at my feet, bowing their heads and offering their necks in
submission. I ignored them and went back to the stage.
"I ask the Council for their judgement." I said, looking at the gathered princes.
They quietly talked for a moment, then Joshua stepped
forward and said "Sire, the Council has asked me, as Crown Prince, to announce
our decision." The crowd had remained eerily silent, but when they heard `Crown
Prince', there were murmurs. They fell silent once again, as Joshua went on
"Igor Markov is guilty of abuse of power and dereliction of duty. We require
his immediate removal from the Council."
I didn't react. I just turned and said "Charlie? Can you let him talk and still
hold his body? Or do you want Daddy to hold him now?"
My son smiled and said "Me", so I turned to face Igor.
He was staring at my son in terror, as he realized who had held him paralyzed.
He was straining to move his arms and legs, but was unable to move anything but
his head.
"Do you have anything to say in defense of your actions?"
"You have no authority over me! I founded the Council!"
I looked around at the crowd, then back at Igor and said "The Council you
founded is no more. The Council of Princes, led by my son, now serves the
King."
"I've heard that old fairy tale. You're
no King, you're just a worthless, magic using changeling!"
I shifted to full King form, then retracted my fangs so I could speak clearly
and said "It seems you have forgotten that you, Igor Danila Markov, are a
changeling with no magic, who has spent his life jealous of those with magic.
That jealousy turned you into the evil, greedy man we see before us today."
I turned to Joshua and said "Prince Warnick, remove his ring." Joshua stepped over and pulled the ring of office from Igor's finger, then stepped back as I turned and nodded to Charlie. His face relaxed and I turned back to Igor and the crowd "Igor Markov, today you will leave my home alive. I will not seek you out, but if our paths cross again, I will avenge your attack on my family."
Then I looked around the crowd as I said "Igor Markov is not to be harmed. His life is mine. Any who wish to join him are free to do so. Those of you who wish to remain are welcome to do so."
Igor turned to the group that had come with him and several turned their heads, refusing his gaze, while others bowed their heads in submission. He turned and headed towards his car, followed by roughly half of his group. As he got in his car, I heard him saying "This isn't over."
I shifted fully back to human and turned to my family, making sure my mates and pups were still safe. Billy was missing, but I quickly found him through the bond and he soon ran up to me with some clothes, as I had ruined my suit when I shifted. I dressed, and asked Mary to take the girls and the youngest pups into the house. Then I turned to once again, face the crowd.
Most were still kneeling, and I worried that it was fear that kept them there, not respect or loyalty. I stepped up to the podium once again, and spoke to them.
"Please, return to your seats so I can clear up any confusion." I said, as calmly and compassionately as I could "Part of me is sorry that you had to see that, and part of me is glad that you now stand witness to the facts. If any of you that fed from Igor Markov hear me speak an untrue word, speak up and ensure the truth comes out today."
"The Council, as it was formerly comprised, was formed at
the request of Igor Markov, who claimed that there needed to be a body that
served above Super Alphas, to guide vampire society safely as human society
evolved from small villages to larger towns and cities. The idea that we needed
guidance and leadership to keep us safe was a concept that was easy to accept,
so George Hampton, Hiroki Honda, Chao Fen Yuan, and others that have passed on,
accepted Igor's motives and agreed."
"Once he had a power base established, Igor started a campaign of eradicating
any changeling that had the magic he had not inherited, and which he jealously
desired. I'm told he has, or had, a grandson who mated with a changeling who
had immense magical ability."
As I said this, an old man from Igor's group stood and I saw Nikita's shocked
look, just before this man spoke "I am Anatoly Grigori Markov, grandson of the
monster revealed today, and I believe I am whom you are speaking of, Sire."
Nikki leapt to his feet and rushed to his brother, embracing
him and repeatedly kissing his cheeks as their tears fell. We quietly waited
and watched the reunion play out, then Nikki turned to me and blushed "Forgive
me, Sire. We have not seen each other for three centuries."
I smiled as I said "Take your brother to the house, Nikki, spend all the time
you need."
Nikki turned to lead his brother to the house, but Grigori stopped and turned
to the crowd and said "The words King Gregory speaks are true. My grandfather
enslaved my mate and forced her to use her magic to increase his power. He has
killed thousands of changelings when they showed magic and refused to serve
him." He then turned to me, knelt, and said "I am a Super Alpha who has
followed the wrong leader for too long, Sire. I beg you for mercy. My life is
in your hands."
Those from Igor's party who had stayed were still kneeling with their heads down and their necks offered to me. Five other men stood and joined them, kneeling and offering their necks in submission.
I looked at them all, kneeling in fear for their lives, and thought about their situation. They had been trapped in serving Igor. If they dared speak up, they would be killed. If they tried to speak to another and form some type of alliance against him, they might find someone truly loyal who would divulge their plans and get them killed. That didn't excuse how they had allowed him to abuse their packs, and kill changelings for no just reason. I couldn't just kill them, and I couldn't just excuse them.
"There has been enough bloodshed today Grigori. Go with
Nikki and reacquaint yourself with your brother. You
others, stand and return to your seats. You will face the Council at another
time, and they will decide your fate."
I looked to the crowd again, and went on "As I was saying, the Council, as it
was formerly comprised, served the purpose for which it was formed. Providing
power to Igor, and serving as a final board of judgement when issues needed
decided between Super Alphas. Sadly, humans far surpassed our society, and many
of our kind faded into hiding, keeping our secret, while living as humans."
"That changed today. You heard what was said about the Council, the prophecy,
and who or what I am. I stand here today, ready to serve vampires, around the
world. I ask that you notice I said serve, not rule. It is my intent to serve
you by doing my best to provide for you those things that are difficult for you
to provide for yourself. I've reformed the Council,
and we will be working to provide schools for your pups, to educate them for
life in the 21st century. We will ask that you accept your fellow
packmate for who he or she is, regardless of skin color, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, or any other things that have been used to
discriminate in the past."
"I will not insist that any vampire swear loyalty to me, or the Council, yet we
will serve you all. The next few weeks and months will be a time of
reorganization as we sort out how the Princes of the Council, the Council
members, and your Super Alphas and Alphas can best serve your needs. I ask you
to be patient, and bring your concerns to your Delta or Alpha, so they can be
brought to the Council, and to me. I'm certainly not
saying I know the best way to do everything, I'm only saying that I swear to
you that I will do my best to serve you honorably, with your interests at
heart. I'm standing here asking you to have faith in my intentions, if not my
actions, and forgive the mistakes that I'm bound to make along the way."
As I looked around at the faces of vampires from around the world, I saw hope.
Hope that times would improve, hope that their pups could have a better life,
and hope that I was sincere.
"I've taken enough of your time. Please allow my father and
mother some time to reunite, as they've been separated
by events. I ask that you consider what I've said to
you today, and spread the word. Tell your friends, your Delta, your Alpha, what
I've said. Ask them to do what they think best for
your packs. If that means following me, contact the Council and let them know.
Thank you, and be safe as you return to your homes."
I started to step back and the crowd stood. Every single one knelt and bowed
their heads, offering their necks and I heard various versions of "I am yours
to lead, Sire" or "We serve you, Sire".
I had already talked too much, so I sent Joshua my thoughts, and led my mates, younger pups, and Mom and Dad to the house, with Tommy and his men around us to clear a path. Joshua quickly told the princes what I had asked him to do, and as we were walking in the front door, I heard him speaking to the crowd. Everyone else went in to the family room but I quickly slipped up the stairs and stood atop the tower at the entrance door, to listen to my son.
