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.

Chapter 65

 

Twenty minutes later I was in the library/conference room with Derrick at my side. Seated around the table were the six New York Alphas, Marcus of Boston, Eric of Maine, Lorenz of Germany and Switzerland, Frank Campbell of Buffalo, Antonio Rizzo of Philadelphia, Francis Lovelace of Albany, Archer Ratcliffe of Richmond, Donovan MacKenzie of Washington DC, and Cordell Gray of Baltimore. All other Serving Alphas were on the speaker phone in a conference call.

 

"As my son Joshua explained yesterday, the Councils have been reformed, and I wanted to update you on how that will affect this pack. All Council members, and princes on the Council of Nine have agreed to give up their Alpha status, to focus on serving the Council, and the worldwide pack in general. I have agreed to do the same. We said we would give the fates 6 months to provide us with a replacement. The fates didn't wait 24 hours, and I have an Alpha I would like to propose as my successor."

"I will not force him upon you, and if you choose not to serve him, I will sit with you and figure out what is to be done. He is young, younger than I am even and..."

Antonio Rizzo stood up and interrupted me "Sire, with all due respect, when I swore to serve you, it was you, and your rightful successors. You don't need to ask me if I'll serve him. If he's an Alpha, and is your choice to lead your pack, I serve him."

Everyone in the room was nodding their heads and all the voices on the phone were agreeing as well, so I changed my approach. "I appreciate that Alpha Rizzo, but you know I'm not so traditional, but I'll make this simple. My choice is my son, Derrick. He was human yesterday, changed last night, and found his Alpha beast this morning. Any of you that don't want to serve him, speak up. I will respect your wishes."

 

There was silence from those in the room and from those on the phone. I turned to Derrick and said "Gentlemen, I give you your new Alpha, Derrick James Warnick."

 

I stepped back and motioned for Derrick to step up. When he did, he looked at the men sitting at the table, and each lowered their eyes in respect. He cleared his throat and spoke.

 

"I am Alpha Derrick James Warnick, but please call me Derrick. Like with my father, if you're calling me Alpha, it probably means you're in trouble. Most of you know nothing about me so I guess that's a good place to start."

For an hour, Derrick told them about his life, from his father dumping him and Morgan at the campground to their life on the road, to my finding them in the woods. He didn't go into great detail, but he didn't hide anything either. He was honest about the things he had to do to get food while on the road, and he told them about his interracial, polyamorous relationship that was soon to be a mating.

 

"I have a lot to learn, but I have a great example I happen to live with, who will teach me." He then turned to Brandon as he said "Now I'd like to introduce you to your Beta, and my brother, Brandon."

 

Brandon stepped up and smiled as he said "I will serve you to the best of my ability. I too live with a great example of a Beta, and if I become half the Beta he is, I will serve you well."

 

Brandon stepped back and looked to Derrick who looked to me. I smiled and said "They're your pack, Alpha, I can't dismiss them."

Derrick stepped forward again and said "I don't have anything else, but with the changes our King is making, I think we'll all be quite busy over the next few months. If anyone has any questions, please call Brandon." Then he laughed "We'll get all our contact information out to you all shortly. All of you that are traveling, please be safe." And with that, he stepped back.

 

Those at the table stood, turned to him, and briefly offered their necks in submission. He said "Ok, I need to talk with my father for a while. Blake and Martin, would you get your wives and join us please? We need to discuss personal matters. The rest of you, I'll talk with you sometime soon, you can return to whatever you had planned. Those of you from New York, I'm sorry but your return trip is delayed a few hours while we sort this out. He turned to Brandon and said "Go get Jarrod and meet us in Dad's office, please?"

 

We turned and headed to my office. I went to sit at my desk and Derrick did the same. He looked at me and blushed "Sorry Dad, I just thought..."

"We'll have to figure it all out, but for now, get away from my desk pup." I said with a teasing growl.

 

He rushed away with a playful yelp then looked around and said "Let's do this in the sofas and chairs? The desk is too formal."

 

We moved to the sitting area and Scott and Bea joined us. When everyone was there and seated, Derrick stood with Jamie and Stephanie and looked to me, waiting for me to speak. I stared at him and waited for him to understand that this was his show. Finally, he said "Dad, I'm confused so I need your help with this. I'm an Alpha now, so I don't need permission to mate, but you're my dad, and my King. Blake, I'm your Alpha, so I could just say I'm going to mate your son, but I don't like that. I feel I should ask for your blessing."

I looked to Blake and he nodded for me to go first, so I said "You're doing quite well already, Derrick, and you're right, you don't need our permission, but I'll say you have ours, and our blessing." As Scott, Billy and Bea nodded their agreement.

"And our permission and blessing." Blake added as Brandie nodded and smiled.

 

Then Derrick asked "And what about Brandon? If he and Jarrod want to bond, shouldn't they talk to you and Martin?"

I nodded to Martin so he said "Derrick, like you said, you're our Alpha. If Brandon is my son's mate, you're Alpha to them both, it's your call."

I said "My rights over my son ended when he became your Beta, Derrick. You should talk to him. If the two of you need to ask me, as your dad, for advice, I'm here, but Brandon's your Beta, and answers to you."

 

Derrick looked to Jamie and Stephanie and they both nodded. He then turned to me and knelt as he said "Sire, would you do us the honor of holding a mating ceremony?"

I stood and smiled as I said "I would be honored." I turned to Stephanie and asked "When and where?"

She looked at Derrick and said "Tonight? At hunting rock?"

Derrick and Jamie both nodded. Then Derrick turned to Brandon "Have you and Jarrod decided anything?"

Brandon looked at Jarrod, then said "We need more time Alpha, but thank you." Then turned to me "Do I ask Derrick or is this still your house Dad? Either of you, can Jarrod stay this week? If it's alright with his parents, that is?"

 

Derrick then showed why he was now an Alpha as he said "This is Dad's house, and until we sort things out, everyone living under this roof still answers to him. My Alphas are here as his guests, and should already know who to ask for what."

I smiled as Blake, Brandie, Martin, Judy, Brandon, Jarrod, Jamie and Stephanie all said "Yes Alpha."

 

Derrick turned to me and said "I suppose Brandon and I should sit with you and Papa and sort things out?"

I said "Let's do that in the morning. I have a ceremony to plan."

There was a knock and we looked up to see Dad at the door. "Greg, that surprise I told you about will be here in five minutes, if you're able to get free?"

Scott jumped up and ran to the door. I looked at him and he still had me blocked. I turned to Billy and he shrugged, so I said "Sure Dad. It seems Scott's involved, anyone else?"

"You and your mates. Derrick, would you gather all your siblings that are home please? We'll come to the family room in half an hour or so."

"Sure Grandpa." He said, then turned to Brandon "You check outside, I'll go through the house. Try a mass text too. Let me know who you get."

"Ok." Brandon said as he headed out to the deck and down the stairs towards the lake.

 

I stood and said "If you'll excuse me, it seems I'm needed elsewhere." I put my hands out to Billy and Bea, and we followed Scott and Dad to the front door. Dad's phone pinged and he looked at it, then led us outside. I looked down the driveway and I saw a car coming through the gate and my jaw dropped. It can't be, but it was. I'd know that car anywhere, but it can't be him.

 

A midnight blue 1972 Buick Riviera pulled up and stopped by the front door. I had only ever seen one like it, but it couldn't be the same car. A slim, blond man in his early twenties stepped out and hugged Dad then turned to look at me. Those eyes, I knew those eyes.

"Hi Opa!" Scott said as he ran around the car and hugged him.

 

I looked at Billy and saw that he seemed as lost as I was. Bea just shrugged and shook her head to indicate that she too, was confused.

 

I stepped around the car and Dad said "Greg, this is my father, Baron Erich Johann Samuel Zell. Vati, du erinnerst dich an Gregor?"

"Of course I remember Greg, and your German is horrible James, stick to English."
