I did not intend for the break to be so long. I'm struggling with what comes next. Every time I've tried to write, it just didn't feel right. Let's see how this goes...
I'm very grateful to those of you who have followed this from the start, and for those who have given your input. Your feedback is taken to heart at Jst4fun2nyt@gmail.com.
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.

I looked at Tommy and Yuan and said "Both of you have information I need. I'll start with you." I said, turning to Tommy.
"I don't know much, Greg. All I know is there was an explosion at the house. The only contact I've had is with the guards from the gate, and they say the house is leveled. Human fire and rescue are on the way, as well as a dozen of my men from their homes. I wish I could tell you more, but it's too soon to know anything for certain." Tommy said as he read and replied to texts.
I looked to Yuan and said "And I'm assuming you know something
about this jet?"
"I ordered this two years ago Sire, as I could sense your time was near. It was
delivered just after your father came to visit me. It is an Airbus ACJ-380,
custom built for the King of Dracul. On this deck you have this business lounge,
and the larger one your pups are in, as well as a master suite forward of us,
and 5 other bedrooms to the rear. The center deck houses another large lounge
around the central stairway, the dining area, VIP seating for 24 guests, and
standard first-class type seating for another 48. The lower deck has the
kitchen, crew quarters, and a garage."
Billy's phone rang and when he answered it his eyes popped
open in shock. He offered it to me saying "It's the White House."
I took the phone and said "Hello?"
"Your Majesty, when your pilot used the
call sign `Dragon One' and declared an emergency take off, that got our
attention. My staff gave me a quick run down on what's happening, and I'm calling to say that the US
Government will do anything we can to help you through this. You can refuse
them, but there are two F-35's headed your way, to escort you safely to Dracul.
Your home is considered Dracul territory, but I'm authorized to offer the
assistance of the FBI in investigating the explosion, because it happened
inside the US."
I stammered "I um...thank you, Mr. President. I don't know what we'll need, but I appreciate the offer."
"I'm sorry our first conversation had to
be because of something like this. Jill and I will be praying for you and your
family. I'll call if my people find anything that can help."
The phone went dead and I held it out to Billy. Before he could take it, it rang again so I answered. "Hello?"
"The Prime Minister,
for King Gregory."
"This is King Gregory."
The line was quickly transferred, then I heard "Your Majesty, on behalf of Her Majesty's Government, I'm authorized to
offer any assistance the United Kingdom can provide."
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. I hope you'll
understand that, as we currently know little to nothing about what has
happened, we really can't say what assistance you can provide. I appreciate
your call, and we will keep you posted. If you will forgive me, I need to speak
with my people."
"Of course, your Majesty. Carrie and I
will keep you in our thoughts."
I held the phone out to Billy but Joshua reached for it,
saying "I'll take the calls Dad."
All the dukes had come up while I was talking to the President, and Joan Fabre
grabbed the phone, saying "I'll take the calls, your Highness. You and your
fathers will be busy enough."
George looked at me and sighed "I'm sorry, Sire. We should
have told you more, long before you were forced to announce yourself. Now that
you have, as you just learned, world governments will be talking to you. We
should have people in place to handle those calls for you."
I nodded and said "Yes, we should, but we don't. What
do we have people in place to do?"
"For official roles, no one. At the castle we have a staff, but we assumed
Andrew would come with you and manage them. You have your pilots, and Tommy and
his security force. The meeting earlier, and those phone calls, tells me you
will need to appoint several ministers to handle things, possibly ambassadors
to several countries."
"We will deal with things as they come up, and adjust.
Tommy? Any updates?"
Tommy looked up from his phone "Human authorities have the fires out, Greg.
Derrick and Brandon just got there and they're working with my people to start
searching, but it looks bad."
I tried searching my bond again, but there was nothing. The look on Billy's
face said he felt the same emptiness. I saw Joshua concentrating, so I waited
until he glanced my way and I asked him "Anything?"
"I can sense that Samantha's alive, but I can't communicate with her."
Hiroki spoke up "That probably means she's unconscious. You can wake your
sleeping mate, but a state of unconsciousness is different. Only worry if you
can sense nothing."
I hung my head and the tears started. Billy moved to kneel in front of me and
we held each other as we both understood the meaning of Hiroki's statement. We
could sense nothing. Our mates were gone. Everyone remained silent as we held
each other, mourning our loss. When I felt I could speak, I slowly pushed Billy
away and stood.
"Get in touch with Dad. I want his plane turned around and headed to New York. Fred can pick up the G-700 there, and bring Dad, Mom, Opa, Jack, Leonard, Johnny, and Todd. Have Amelia leave her plane in Boston and she can fly commercial to meet with Fred in New York or he can pick her up, whichever is faster. Have someone take his plane back to Pittsburgh."
George stood and said "I'll go tell Ted all of that, Sire."
Before he could go, I added "And call Dr. Phillips, have him get Matt and Liza, Kailani, Andy, Lucas, and LeAnn to New York in a Bell. I want them on that Gulfstream as well. Lisa and her twins too. If we have to use one of the Phenoms as well, do it. I want them all in Dracul tonight. Call Mike, get him here too. Tell him to bring David and Kalyn also."
I turned to Joshua and told him "Sit with each of the dukes. I need a list of what properties the crown owns. Include vehicles, aircraft, and boats. Anything we might use. Each of you feel free to keep personal ownership of whatever vehicles you choose, but the crown will own everything you'll use in service, such as limousines, sedans, SUVs, aircraft, and boats suitable for ocean travel. Choose a home as your official residence, the crown will own and maintain them. Then, list all others and we'll discuss their use and ownership. As for myself, I intend to keep the house in Woodstock privately owned, with the crown owning the house in London. We'll discuss aircraft once I see what we have to sort through. If ownership of your assets is tied up in your businesses, we'll figure it out as we go."
I looked at Billy "I need to be with our pups, are you coming?" Billy took my hand and we headed towards the door. I stopped and turned to Tommy "Any news, anything at all, you come tell me, understand?" Tommy nodded, so Billy and I went to sit with the pups.
We found Charlie and Davie asleep, curled up with Sam and Tanya on a sofa. Chipper, Jesse, and Jeremey were sitting together on another sofa, each working on school work on their tablets. Tanya looked up with a hopeful expression, but when I shook my head, her eyes filled with tears. I knelt in front of the boys and they set their tablets down and looked at me.
Chipper asked "What's happening Daddy? Where are we going? Where's Mom and Pop?"
Billy put his hand on my shoulder as I said "There was an explosion at the house buddy, we're going to a new house in the middle of the ocean. Lots of people were hurt and we don't know who's ok and who isn't. We don't know anything about Mom and Pop yet, but we have to hope they're ok."
Chipper jumped into my arms and started crying. Jesse and Jeremey jumped up and reached for Billy so he knelt and held them both. I tried the bond again but still there was nothing. My tears started flowing as I held my son, getting as much comfort from him as he was from me. We stayed like that for quite a while, then I realized that Chipper had gone limp. He had fallen asleep in my arms, so I picked him up and carried him to one of the bedrooms and laid him on the bed, kissing his forehead as I tucked him in. Billy followed with Jesse and Jeremey holding his hands. The twins quietly climbed in on either side of Chipper and snuggled in to hold him. We kissed them both, then turned and headed back to talk with the dukes.
When we walked in, Tommy looked up and asked "May I use your
computer, Greg?"
I was confused, so I said "I didn't bring one?"
"Follow me." He said, as he stood and walked forward. Billy and I followed as
he went on "Duke Chao showed me this after he talked to Joshua. This is your
suite. You have a king bed, private bathroom with shower, sitting room, dining
room for 6, and an office, complete with a computer. The whole plane has
wireless internet, and all the phones onboard can make or receive calls. There's another office in the rear of the second level, but
I wanted to use yours so I'm closer to you if I have anything."
"Yes, do anything you need to do. Have you heard anything more?"
"Craig has moved all his heavy equipment up to the house but they have to move most things by hand. They can't risk crushing someone under the rubble. Derrick says that word got out and pack members started just showing up, wanting to help. There are hundreds of them there, slowly moving the debris away, making piles of what can be saved. I want to get online and see if I can find any cameras still operating so we can see it for ourselves."
"Have they found anyone from the house?"
"Not yet, but they haven't found any bodies yet either, so don't give up,
they're not."
Joshua came running in holding Billy's phone "It's Grandma Mary, she's alive!"
Billy grabbed the phone and almost shouted into it "Grandma? How are you? Where
are you?... OK, just stay there. I'll get some help to
you. Save your phone battery, I'll call back soon. I
love you, Grandma."
Billy disconnected then called Derrick and put it on speaker "Grandma Mary was
cleaning the pool house when it happened. She's alone,
and the front wall is buried in debris. Get Craig to dig her out, she says she's safe in the bathroom, so he can dig until he gets to
that wall."
"That's great news Papa! Hang on a sec."
Derrick shouted. There was a lot of noise and confusion in the background as we
heard him telling Brandon to pass this on to Craig. Then he was back, talking
to us. "I have some bad news. We found
Patrick and Amanda. They're dead."
"Any sign of Mom and Pop? The girls?" I asked, hoping he knew more.
"No Dad, I'm sorry.
Can't you feel them through the bond?"
"There's nothing, from either one. I'm hoping they're
just unconscious but Yuan said if they were, I could stll
sense them."
"Don't you give up on them Dad! We'll find them." We heard Brandon come running up, saying something about finding a body. Derrick said "They just found Edward's body in the office wing, crushed. I have to go Dad, more pack members just showed up to help. We will find them, Dad, do you hear me? Don't give up hope!"
Billy called Mary and told her that help was on the way, then he wrapped his arms around me and held me. Joshua put his arms around both of us and said "Derrick's right, Dad. Don't give up hope yet. Not until we find them."
