This chapter is from from Derrick's point of view, starting the morning of the explosion. I'll get back to Greg and Igor in a bit. I wanted to explore Derrick a while, but I'm struggling with it measuring up. I don't know where the next chapter will take us. More with Derrick, back to the castle, or somewhere else.

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 75

Derrick

When I opened my eyes Monday morning, the sun was just peeking over the lake and I was cuddled between my sleeping mates. Jamie had his arm over my chest with his leg draped over my hip, and his morning erection was nestled in between my thighs. Stephanie was spooned into my front, with her head on my arm and her hips pushed back against my own erection. We had made love more times than I could count last night, and it would only take a small effort on my part to get them both going again.

As I lay there, enjoying the peace, I started thinking about how I ended up here. I thought about Dad finding Morgan and me in the woods overlooking the lake, then I thought about the man who had abandoned us in the campground and the things I'd done afterward. Before I knew it, I was thinking about the night before Eric left for his mission...

"I still don't understand why you're doing this." I said for the hundredth time.

I was sitting on Eric's bed as he packed his suitcase. Mom and Dad were driving him to Salt Lake International Airport in the morning, and he was flying to Burbank, California to spend two years talking to people about our Church and asking them to convert. I didn't like our Church because it excluded gays and treated women like property, and him going on his mission made absolutely no sense to me.

"I've told you a hundred times already. I have faith that soon, the Church will see how wrong they are, and they'll change. We have to have faith that God will provide; He always has."

"It's not God that's wrong, it's his people." I said, rolling my eyes. "Jesus taught love and acceptance. He didn't exclude anyone, yet our church excluded blacks for years, and still excludes gays, and treats women like trash."

"Look, Squirt, we have to look past the faults in the Church and see the good it does.", Eric said as he went to his closet to get his suits.

"The good that happens is in spite of the Church. Look at how many teens commit suicide because they're rejected by their families who are just following the Church!"

Eric's head snapped around and he stared at me. "You're not saying you would..."

"No, I'm not saying that! I know that you've got my back, no matter what." I said, as Eric put his arms around me and pulled me into a hug.

"I'd go to the ends of the earth for you little brother, don't you ever forget that." my big brother whispered as he held me.

"I know bro, I know. I'll always have your back too. Remember that when you're alone in the big city." I said, as a tear fell from my eye.

... Jamie's lips on my shoulder brought me out of my memory. I pushed back into him as I said "Good morning, babe."

"Good morning to you too, my sexy Alpha." He said, gently nipping at my neck.

"Yeah, about that... am I really ready? Can I do this?" I asked, knowing I was safe sharing my fears with my mates.

Before Jamie could answer, Stephanie rolled over and grabbed my face, forcing me to look into her eyes as she said "You are ready, hon. Your Dad wouldn't have trusted you with his pack if you weren't. He'll be here to help you, and we'll be here to help you too, so relax."

I stared into her chocolate brown eyes as she said this, then I kissed her and said "I don't know what I did to deserve the two of you, but I'm glad I did it."

I was about to roll over and kiss Jamie when there was a knock on our door. I sniffed to see who it was, and said "Come in Brandon."

My little brother walked in with his head down and said "I didn't mean to interrupt, Alpha. I was just hoping... Never mind, it's silly. I'll see you at breakfast."

Brandon turned to go, but stopped as I said "Get back here little brother. First, you know not to call me Alpha, so knock that off right now, ok?" He grinned a bit and nodded his head, so I went on "I'm guessing you'd like your Beta mark before we do the assembly at school?"

Brandon grinned again as he said "I didn't want to bother you on your wedding night, but yeah, I was hoping you'd do that. If you want to, I mean. You don't have to..."

I reached up and put my finger to his lips "Hush. Of course I want to. Have you talked to Jarrod about this? Have you and he gone this far?"

Brandon blushed as he said "I've never gone that far. Dad and Josh were talking about teaching me, but we didn't get a chance. And Jarrod says he understands the Beta thing, and he thinks you should be first."

Stephanie got up and gently pushed Brandon onto our bed, as she said "Do you want to be alone with Derrick? Or do you want Jamie or me, or both of us, to stay?"

"And don't you dare say that you want whatever I want." I said as I pulled him close. "This is all about you."

"I think I just want my Alpha, this morning, if that's ok?" Brandon said quietly.

Jamie and Steph gave both of us a gentle kiss on the forehead, then headed to our shower. I turned Brandon over in my arms and brushed his red hair out of his eyes. "I know my first time with you is supposed to be rough, with me dominating you, but with you being a virgin, I don't want to hurt you. I want you to enjoy this. I need you to promise me that you'll speak up if I'm hurting you. You're my Beta, but you're also my brother, and I love you."

"I know it'll hurt, and no matter what, it's going to be special. Now, shut up and let's get this done so we can get to school."

I laughed at his impatience, then kissed him deeply as my hand slid down his back and I grasped his butt. He moaned and pushed back against my hand as my finger explored his hole. His impatience was contagious and I flipped him over and spread his cheeks so I could bury my tongue in his hole. His moans told me he was enjoying my tongue, but his impatience again showed itself as he handed me the bottle of lube.

I laughed and asked "Don't you want to enjoy this?"

"I do, but I want it done and I need you to just do it, like an Alpha, please??" he said, in a pleading tone that triggered something in me. I spread some lube over my erection, spread his cheeks, and slammed into him. His scream into the pillow caused me to pause and I was about to pull out, when he turned and said "Don't you dare stop! My beast needs this, and he's loving it. I'll heal."

My love for my brother almost caused me to quit, but my beast roared and I started pounding into him. As I was getting close, I let my fangs drop and when my orgasm hit me, I drug my fangs across his shoulder blade leaving two parallel scars, marking him as a Beta. While I was shooting inside him, I felt his hole contracting around me as his orgasm hit him as well. I wrapped my arms around him, picked him up, and carried him to our shower where my mates were waiting.

Jamie and Steph both gently washed Brandon as I whispered in his ear "You ok little brother?"

"I wasn't your brother just now, Alpha, and yes, I'm more than ok. Thank you." He said, then kissed me gently.

We all joined the family in the kitchen for breakfast, and Brandon was absolutely glowing when Papa mentioned his Beta marks. Pop came over and kissed me on the cheek.

Dad smiled at me and said "Derrick, you, Brandon, and your mates will fly downtown with us this morning Derrick. I have to meet with the dukes and that will give you time to talk with your Uncle Mike about things. Dr Phillips said he'd have the assembly around 10."

"Yes Father. Is there anything specific I should be worried about today?"

"Today, and every day from now, you worry about your pack. Remember son, `pack, mates, pups', in that order."

"I understand that, but I mean do we know who is going to be in whose pack or where I am going to live?"

Pop looked up and firmly said "You'll live here until you no longer want to. As to who is in which pack, that's going to take time, but Uncle Mike and your dad will work it out with you."

I walked around and gave Pop a hug as I said "I want to live here as long as I can Pop, but with Dad being King, we can't have my pack coming here with their issues."

Dad said "He does have a point, Scott. There's no rush, but pack members might be intimidated coming to the King's home to discuss their personal issues. It's something Derrick and I can talk about with Mike." Then he turned to me "Speaking of your Uncle Mike, we should be going soon, you boys get dressed."

Fifteen minutes later we were all in the Bell and heading downtown to the school and office. As we took off, I looked down at the dock and remembered the day Dad found Morgan and me in the woods. I almost died when Dad asked me if we wanted to swim. I don't know why I trusted him that first day, but I'm so glad I did. I have no idea where Morgan and I would be if we had run.
