I put on my shorts and we walked back inside. We sat at the kitchen table.

"Does anyone want more coffee?" Joyce asked.

"I do," I said.

"Me, too," Luke said.

She refilled our mugs. She handed Dutch and Eddie each a mug.

Alephin looked at us. I could tell he was thinking. He even looked a little worried. I leaned against Luke. He put his arm around me. I was very happy. I belonged and was loved by people I loved.

"I will be perfectly frank with you. I have no idea what is best, in this situation. I'm going to give this some thought."

"Good," Rince said.

A man in another room called out, "Delivery!"

"Your things from the camp store are here," Alephin said to Luke and me.

"Oh, great," I said.

"Put them in the guest room on the bed," Alephin called out.

"Got it."

"Tom, Dag took care of your past life," Alephin said.

I didn't know what to say. 'Thank you' sounded insulting to my parents. I thought of them crying over my death and felt sick. Luke pulled me tighter him.

"I wonder what your friends will say about being married to us," Luke said to Dutch.

"What friends?" Eddie asked.

"You have a whole pack of friends," Alephin said.

Dutch and Eddie didn't look like they agreed. I looked at Rince. He looked at me and shrugged.

"Do some of the pack members not like you?" Luke asked.

"No. It's not a question of being liked. It's disapproval. People try to get us apart and dating women. Sometimes we hear them whispering about us."

"About what?" Alephin asked, hotly. His fists were clenched.

I pulled out of Luke's arms and backed my chair away from the table. I started shivering. I was terrified more than I knew I should be. After all, Alephin wasn't upset with me. But I couldn't help it. Luke moved next to me and wrapped his arm around me, as Dutch and Eddie stood and backed away, too.

"Sorry, pups," Alephin said. "Everything is fine. Please tell me what you heard."

I stopped shivering.

"Alephin, you will only get upset, or worse. Please don't ask," Eddie said.

Alephin sighed.

"I need to know."

"We need to know," Rince added.

"There are a few oldtimers who, well, let's just say they are old-fashioned and have traditional views about sex."

"Bob Jessel, for one," Joyce said.

"Have you heard him, too," Alephin asked her.

"Yes. I know exactly who Eddie and Dutch are speaking of. You could name the names, yourself, Alpha. They're all old and they all stick together," Joyce said. "And before you get all upset, or worse, kill them-"

"I am not going to kill anyone, but I may discipline them."

She nodded.

"Alephin, someone who grew up in the fifteenth century has a lot of trouble adjusting to life as we live it, now. These are people who still don't like electricity! I've had conversations with Dag Tuskus about this very thing. I wanted his perspective, being about seven hundred, himself. Some people don't want to change and they don't want to see change. Dag isn't like that, of course, because he has a business, and he wanted to stay current to keep up with the market. Who wants outhouses built, anymore? But others just want to coast, with their comfortable thoughts and lives. They are disturbed when they see things that challenge their thinking."

Listening to her, I had absolutely no doubt she was speaking the truth. Some people hated change and there had been so many changes for those people.

"Unfortunately, they are elders and some of the generations under them respect their opinions. They were raised to do that. I was born in 1822. I know. I was taught to never question my elders. I ignored most of what I was taught, fortunately. The vast majority of it is either unneeded, or just plain wrong."

I stared at Joyce. She was almost two hundred years old, and she looked thirty! She ought to look middle-aged, at least. But then I realized middle-aged for Vin-Ta was four hundred.

Alephin chuckled. Then he shook his head.

"So Erelda has a baby from Hephin, a gay father and she doesn't like homosexuals," Alephin said. "And an Alpha with a male mate."

"She is one of them," Eddie said.

"Has she said anything to you?" Alephin asked Rince.

I could tell the Alpha was angry. I shivered and Luke kissed my neck. That calmed me.

"No. But Hephin basically told us the same thing," Rince said. "We are just getting it from a different perspective."

"I just thought it was Hephin having sex with others, that she didn't like," Alephin said.

"Alephin, it isn't just gays they don't like," Joyce said. "Although they might give Dutch and Eddie a little slack if they didn't keep insisting they aren't gay."

I laughed.

"Why do you do that?" Luke asked Eddie.

"Because we like women. We just like each other more. We watch straight porn lots of times while we suck each other."

"I just accepted I was gay after I met Tom," Luke said. "After all, I'm never having sex with a woman again."

Joyce continued. "They are unhappy about all modern life. They outlived their time. They don't like electricity or cars or telephones. They don't understand what computers are, and have no desire to learn. Forget about cell phones. They still believe in dowries, for heaven's sake. And Erelda may be like that, but she is very, very fond of Hephin, as well as grateful. She would do anything for him. She just wishes he would find a nice female mate. Then Elepan would be free to find another nice female. After all, she knows Elepan dated Sylvia Denawa for years, and Sylvia is still single, and still smitten with Elepan. Erelda's convinced they would both be happier with women, and there is no changing her mind."

Alephin sighed.

"Alephin, it isn't so much that they don't think sex between males is always bad," Dutch said. "It's our relationship. Maybe we should say we are gay, if that would make everyone more comfortable."

"I don't want you lying to make other pack members happy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you two being together," Alephin said. "It's obvious to anyone with eyes that you two are happy together. I approve of your relationship and I have made that plain to the pack. That should be enough for other pack members."

"Anyway, everyone knows that we both dated females in the past. They think we gave up on finding women and have settled for each other. That's not true, of course. We decided we like each other more than we like girls. Both of us have eaten pussy and we prefer sucking each other. But they try to encourage us to keep looking. We just get told all the time that we won't find females if we spend all our time together."

"And that we would be much happier if we dated pack females," Eddie added. "Then they arrange dates for us, which we have to decline, sometimes hurting the feelings of some innocent female. Now that we are mates, maybe that will change."

I remembered from the day before when the man asked in the canteen why we were mates if we were both males.

"Well, I see I have educating to do," Alephin said.

"You don't need to hurry on our account. We have Tom and Luke, now. We will probably be spending most of our time, together."

I nodded.

"Alephin, please don't do anything until you've given it a lot of thought," Rince said. "Things are running smoothly in the pack. I know their attitudes about sex bother you, but yelling and threatening won't change their feelings. It will just make them afraid to express them. Changes need to be made. They need educating. But you want to carefully choose what to change and how to educate them. If the problem is solved by having Dutch and Eddie announce that they are gay, that sounds like a simple solution. Telling people they still like women is....just begging for help."

Alephin sighed, again.

"You are right. Flying off the handle won't help anyone. But something will be done about it. I promise you that. Let's finish breakfast," he said.

A few minutes later, I heard the door open and children's voices in the next room.

"Hey, Granddad!" Hephin said, as he and Elepan walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Hephie. You know Dutch and Eddie. They are now mates."

"Wow! Congratulations!" Hephin said.

"Thanks," they both said.

"How are you fitting in?" Hephin asked Luke.

"Fine. We were going fishing this morning, but that was before we got married and they became mates."

Elephan and Hephin sat down. Elepan sat next to Eddie. I realized then how much Eddie looked like Elepan. They were both very attractive. I wondered if they were related. Then I remembered Alephin saying at the pack meeting that we were all related. They almost certainly were. Eddie looked at me and smiled. Then he blew me a kiss. I caught it and put it on my shoulder. He and Dutch laughed. Dutch blew me one. I caught it and rubbed it on my crotch. Dutch barked out a laugh and nudged Eddie.

Dag joined us.

"Sit down, Dag."

Dag brought a chair from the living room and sat.

"You look very serious, Granddad. Do you need a blow job?"

"If he tastes funny, we know why," I said.

"Oh. Has it been somewhere already? Hephin asked me.

I nodded.

"This morning I created a mating bond between Dutch and Eddie, at their request," Alephin said. "Unfortunately, because of the way I phrased it, Luke and Tom responded to the command, too."

"Holy shit!" Hephin said.

"I married Luke and Tom. Again, because of the way I worded it, Dutch and Eddie accepted the marriage, as well."

"So they are all mates?" Dag asked.

"More or less. Dutch and Eddie think the two of them are mates and that Tom and Luke are their husbands. Tom and Luke think Dutch and Eddie are their mates, as well as each other's."

Dag shook his head.

"Are you happy, Tom?" Hephin asked.

"Yes. Very."

"How about you?" he asked Dutch and Eddie.

"Very happy."

"Me, too."

"What are the chances removing it will make them unhappy?" Dag asked.

"I don't know. I ordered them not to let anyone come between them. I think if I tried to command them not to be mates, they would just run off."

"You didn't ask for my opinion, but if they are happy, I think you should consider leaving things alone," Dag said. "You would still have the option of trying to dissolve it, later."

"I agree," Hephin said. "You might harm Tom's mating bond to Luke. If they are all happy, why risk making any of them unhappy? Besides, when you broke my mating bond to my dad, it didn't stop me from wanting him, as you know. Tom and Luke might still want Eddie and Dutch, and be unable to do anything about it."

I saw Rince nod his head. I looked at Alephin.

"Do you want Dutch and Eddie to be your mates?" Alephin asked me.

I looked at them. I remembered the feel of Dutch's erection in my hand. I wanted it inside me. I looked at Luke. He smiled at me. I looked at Eddie. I wanted to lick him all over, starting with his face. Then I looked at Luke's dick. I wrapped my hand around it.

"Yes. Very much," I said. "I wish I had both of them inside me, right now."

"Well, being bred will have to wait until tonight," Alephin said. "But I bet you won't mind mouthfuls of their spunk."

I looked down, a little embarrassed.

"Please don't ever regret wanting that," Eddie said to me.

I looked up at my handsome mate and nodded.

"Where will the four of us live?" I asked.

Alephin let out a breath.

"Here, for now. Maybe we should start building a house for the four of you. With six adults, this house might be too crowded."

"They are all going to be in the same bedroom," Rince said. "It won't be too bad."

"Are you sure you don't mind?" Alephin asked his mate.

"We won't know until we try it."

Alephin nodded.

"That bathroom is not big enough for four adults," Hephin said.

"Hmm. There is that."

"If you are Tom's mates, you need to know something important about him," Alephin said.

I was relieved that Alephin seemed to accept our relationship. I didn't want anyone to come between us. I felt weird when I realized the reason I felt that way was because of Alephin's command. My brain just accepted it as a fact. I decided there wasn't anything I could do about it, not that I wanted to.

"Joyce, Eddie, and Dutch, I do not want you repeating this to anyone."

"Yes, Alephin."

"Tom can bear kids, like Hephin. In fact, they are related."

I looked at Dutch and Tom who looked surprised. They grinned at me.

"Do you want kids?" I asked them.

Dutch and Eddie looked at each other.

"I don't know," Dutch said. "I.Maybe."

"I would like a child," Eddie said.

I smiled at him.

I began stroking Luke. He sighed and leaned back in his chair. I looked at his cock and decided I had to have it. I bent down and began sucking him. Luke ran one hand over my back, and the other through my hair. I stroked his cock and sucked on the end. I was at a wrong angle to take him into my throat.

"Why is it a secret, Alephin?" Joyce asked.

"Because Tom is valuable on the open market. He is new here, and doesn't know who he can trust. He doesn't know a pack member from a kidnapper, and it is possible people outside the pack know about his ability. We are still working on security, here. In about six weeks, the monitoring stations throughout the pack lands will be in operation. We can't keep Tom's secret for long. He is pregnant. But for now, I think it is best that it remains a secret."

Luke sighed as he shot in my mouth. I gulped down his warm sperm. When he was done, I sat up. Luke pulled me against him and kissed the top of my head. Hephin was sucking his father, while Alephin grinned at them and pulled on Rince's nipples. Alephin was erect and his cock was dripping. He was quite a man; the most masculine person I had ever seen. While I was looking at him, Alephin looked at me and winked. I wondered if he could read minds. Or could he tell by smell who I was lusting after? Rince groaned and I could hear Hephin swallowing his father's cream. Personally, I couldn't imagine doing that with my father, but they both seemed happy. Luke began jacking me off while I watched them.

"He won't be showing much in six weeks," Hephin said, when he sat up. "Not enough for people to start wondering, anyway."

I leaned against Luke and groaned as Luke stroked me. Dutch got up and knelt on the floor in front of me. He swallowed my cock. Luke tilted my head back and we kissed while Dutch sucked me. I felt one of Dutch's fingers at my hole. I leaned back to give him better access. He pushed his finger inside me and fucked me with it while he sucked me. A minute later, I moaned as I shot in his mouth.

"He's probably pregnant," Alephin continued. "I don't want anyone else fucking him without a condom, until we are certain he is pregnant. That includes me, despite how much I want to do it. He may be pregnant with Luke's and Dag's baby."

Dutch stood. He and Eddie both looked at Dag. I could tell they were wondering why I was having Dag's.

"Dag asked me to have his, and I said yes," I said to them.

They both nodded.

Luke's cock was stiff and dripping. I leaned over and licked the precum off it. I stroked his erection slowly while I lapped at the head. Then I realized I had never tasted my other two mates. I got up and knelt in front of Dutch. I pulled his erection down and began sucking it. I moaned at the taste of him. Dutch sighed and I was glad he was enjoying it. I pulled off and began licking it, feeling the prominent veins on his cock with my tongue. Eddie was next to him. He was stroking himself. I reached for his cock and began stroking it. I pulled off Dutch and began sucking Eddie. Eddie groaned and immediately began shooting in my mouth. I moaned at the taste of his sperm. It was as delicious as Luke's. I wanted Dutch's, too. As soon as Eddie finished, I resumed sucking Dutch. After I had been sucking for a while, I caressed his nuts. He groaned and his cream began shooting in my mouth. I swallowed the delicious gift. When Dutch was finished, I stood. Rince was sucking Alephin and Hephin was sucking Dag. I knelt between Luke's legs.

"Let me taste your mouth, first," Luke said.

I sat on his lap and we kissed. Luke ran his hands over me and I shivered in pleasure. I pulled away and smiled at him.

"I love you, Luke."

"Love you, baby. I want to suck you."

He had me sit on the edge of the table. He sucked me, while I looked around at the others. Alephin had his fingers inside Joyce. I looked away quickly. I didn't particularly want to watch that. Then I realized that the oldtimers probably didn't want to watch men having sex with other men. Of course, no one forced them to watch. I wondered if only the younger men were bisexual. But Dag had said he was and he was quite old.

The table shook. I looked over and saw Joyce was sitting on the edge, the way I was. Alephin was eating her cunt, while Rince sucked him. Dutch and Eddie got up and stood next to us. They ran their hands over me and I reached for their erections. I stroked them while I groaned and shot into Luke's mouth. Dutch kissed me when he realized I was shooting. It was completely satisfying in a way nothing else had ever been. I had enjoyed sex with Luke enormously. But sex that included my other two mates was even better.

I got down off the table and sat down. Dutch and Eddie tried to get both of their dicks in my mouth. Luke began sucking me again, while I tried to suck my other mates. Eddie came pretty quickly and Dutch came not long after.

"I felt your cum hitting my cock," Dutch said to Eddie. "It made me shoot."

Both of them pumped their cream into my mouth at the same time. Eddie pulled Luke up. Luke stood. Dutch and Eddie began sucking him. There wasn't room for me on his cock, so I knelt behind him. I pulled Luke's furry cheeks apart and began licking his ass. He groaned, loudly. While I rimmed him, I reached out and found an erection. Eddie's, from the feel of it. I stroked my new mate. I pulled away from Luke's butt to breath. I saw his nuts swinging. I pulled them back and sucked on one, then the other. Luke groaned, and I knew he was shooting. I was a little disappointed that he didn't come inside me. But my other two mates were close. I bent down and began sucking Eddie, again. After only about thirty seconds, Eddie shot in my mouth. Once again, he didn't make me wait. I was glad. When he was done, I pulled off him.

"Eddie, you are like a fast-food restaurant," I said.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Why do you say that?" Alephin asked.

"I don't have to suck long before he shoots," I said.

Eddie looked embarrassed.

"I think it's wonderful," I said to him. Then I mouthed, "I love you."

He smiled.

"Do you?"

I nodded.

He pulled our mouths together. We kissed. He wrapped his arms around me tightly. When we stopped kissing, I rested my head on his shoulder. Somehow, through no effort on my part, my life had become perfect. I loved and was loved.

"I love you, Tom."

"I love you, Eddie."

We both sighed.

"Don't split them up, Granddad," Hephin said.

"No. I guess not."

"One of these days, I want you to shoot on Dutch's dick. Luke and I can lick him clean," I said to Eddie.

"That does sound hot."

Eddie took me in his arms.

"Do you like my spunk?"

"I love everything about you. I mean that."

Eddie kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him. When we pulled apart, I saw Dutch and Luke kissing. I knelt and took Luke back in my mouth. Eddie began stroking Luke, while I sucked him. I wrapped one hand around Luke's nuts. I pulled on them. Luke moaned. I sped up my bobbing on his cock. I felt Dutch's cock brush against my cheek. I stroked him with my other hand.

"Can we get some of our spunk on Tom?" Eddie asked Luke. "He smells like you, now."

"Do you want to smell like your other mates?" Luke asked me.

"If you don't mind," I said.

"I don't. Let's go to our bedroom."

We headed for the bedroom. All of our things from the store were on the bed, including our computers.

Dutch pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I felt Luke's hands on me. He pulled my cheeks apart and began rimming me. He stopped and Eddie began rimming me. I ran my hands over Dutch, while we continued to kiss. My hand settled on his cock. I wanted it inside me, and not with a condom. I wanted to feel his spunk in my ass. I thought Luke would enjoy eating it.

"Why don't you start bringing your things over," Luke said. "We need to put this stuff away, anyway."

Dutch pulled away from our kiss.

"Do you want to live with us?" I asked Dutch.

"Of course, Tom! We're mates."

"I do, too," Eddie said.

"When you get back, you can fuck Tom with a condom, I think," Luke said.

"Let's wait. I want to feel your cocks and your cum inside me, not a rubber."

"I want the same thing," Eddie said. Dutch nodded.

"Would you really have babies for us?" Dutch asked.

"Absolutely! I would love having a big family," I said.

"Are all four of us going to sleep on this bed?" Eddie asked.

"I hope so," I said.

Luke nodded.

"Hmm," Dutch said.

They left and Luke and I put our clothes away. I unboxed the computers and set them up on a desk in the room. There was only one chair in front of it. I wondered if we should get another.

I turned on the laptops and they booted up. I smiled when I saw they were already configured. On the desktop were icons for the pack web-site, the pack canteen, and the pack store. I opened the pack store. You could order things and have them delivered. I thought about ordering a chair for the other computer, but then I figured Eddie or Dutch had one. The desk was small for two computers. If Dutch and Eddie had computers, we needed a bigger desk, or maybe a second one. I looked around the room to see where we could put another desk. One of the other corners of the room would work. I went to the canteen website. You could place orders there and have them delivered. There were links for where you wanted it delivered on both the canteen and the store's websites. Alephin's house was the first link on both sites. I didn't order another desk. We needed to see what Dutch and Eddie had in the way of furniture.

I looked at my photos in the cloud. I showed Luke pictures of my parents and Bob, with his parents. I wished Bob was alive. I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me. I had never come right out and told him. But I supposed he knew, anyway. I glanced through my other photos. I had several photos of angels. I'm kind of an angel buff. I've just always liked them. I looked at a photo of a statue of an angel that I had taken in a church. It was of Michael, the Archangel. He was carrying a sword. At the base of the statue was one word: Repent! I stared at the photo for a while. Its pale-brown, feather covered wings were extended. The angel was extraordinarily beautiful, the most beautiful one I'd ever seen. I closed the photo and checked my email. I sent an email to my employer, notifying them that I was quitting. As I looked at my emails. None were personal. I didn't suppose I had much use for email, anymore. Luke, Eddie and Dutch were my family, and we would live together.

I walked over to the window and looked out of it. Luke sat down and began working on his computer. I went into the bathroom and put my toiletries away. He called to me. I walked over to him. He pointed out a picture to me.

"Gross!" I said. It was a close-up picture of a vagina.

He laughed.

"Don't you wish you could lick that hairy cunt?"

"Uh. NO!

He laughed.

I watched him close it and then delete it. He deleted all his photos. I couldn't do that. My parents might think I was dead, but I knew they weren't. And nothing on Earth could get me to delete my photos of Bob.

I reached down and wrapped my hand around Luke's dick. He leaned back and sighed. I ran my other hand over his naked, hairy torso. He pulled my mouth to his and we kissed. I continued stroking him during the kiss. I felt wetness on my hand. I pulled away and saw pre-cum running freely from the slit of his cock. I bent down and licked it up. Luke pulled away.

"Sit on it, will you. I won't cum, I just want to be inside you while we kiss."

"We should probably do it in bed."

He nodded and stood. He got in bed on his back. I lowered myself onto his cock. We both smiled as he entered me.

"Does it hurt, at all?" he asked me.

"No. It feels perfect."

He smiled. When I was seated on him, he pulled our mouths together for a kiss. I'm not sure how long we kissed, but we stopped when we heard Dutch say, "Save some of that for me."

Luke and I pulled apart.

"I thought we couldn't fuck you," Dutch said to me.

"He was just inside me."

Dutch nodded.

"It's where I want to be."

Dutch was holding clothes.

"Which door is the closet?"

I pulled off Luke and showed him. I helped him hang his clothes up. Dutch was naked, and his cock was erect. I wrapped my hand around it and slowly stroked it.

"I need you to make me come, baby. I'm hornier than I've ever been. I guess it is because I have a mate."

I knelt and swallowed his cock. He groaned as I took him into my throat.

"Oh, fuck! No one has ever done that to me!"

I pulled back until my lips felt the head of his cock and took him all the way, again. I smelled Luke enter the closet. Then Dutch groaned loudly. I pulled off him and saw Luke kneeling behind Dutch. Luke was rimming Dutch. I swallowed Dutch's cock and began bobbing on it. I wanted his spunk. I wrapped one of my hands around Dutch's balls, while Luke and I pleasured him. Luke stood and pulled me off Dutch. He began stroking Dutch.

"Hold your mouth open," Luke said to me. "I want to milk Dutch and watch him feed you."

Dutch and I both groaned. I did as Luke said, and Luke stroked Dutch.

"Will you do this for Eddie, too," Dutch asked Luke.

"Of course."

I smelled Alaphin.

"That looks like fun," he said.

"After Dutch feeds your mate, will you make me feed him the same way, Luke?"

"Sure, Alephin," Luke said.

I groaned.

"You would like that, wouldn't you, Tom?" Alephin asked me.

"I would."

"Baby, my cock is yours whenever you need it," Alephin said. "Your wolf still feels insecure in my pack. You may crave sex with me. That will reassure him that I want you in my pack."

"Oh. I'm glad to know why I feel that way."

"It's completely natural," Alephin said. "Your desire for me may end after I breed you tonight. On the other hand, you might feel that way for the rest of your life. Neither one is wrong, and I don't want you to worry about it."

I nodded.

I ran my hands over Dutch's butt and hairy thighs. He groaned and his semen began shooting into my mouth.

"That's it. Feed him, Dutch," Luke said.

"Give Tom a lot of spunk, pup," Alephin said.

"Yes, Alpha," Dutch groaned.

Warm spurts of his semen shot into my mouth. I felt some of it run down my chin. I tilted my head back. I felt Luke wipe the cream off my face. He then wiped his finger clean on my upper lip. Alephin moved closer and the wet head of his cock rubbed against my cheek. I groaned and came, shooting on the closet floor.

"Damn!" Luke said, as he continued stroking Dutch.

I lapped at the underside of Dutch's cockhead. He groaned and the next couple of spurts shot with more force.

I smelled Eddie.

"You couldn't wait for me?" Eddie asked.

"Sorry, buddy!" Dutch said. "But no, we couldn't. We aren't anywhere near being through.

Dutch stopped shooting.

"Swallow that rich, Vin-Ta cream," Alephin said. I did. Dutch tasted different from Luke, but just as good.

"You have to do that to Eddie," Dutch said. "It was incredible!"

"All sex with your mates is incredible," Alephin said. "Speaking of which, are all four of you happy together?"

I looked at Luke. He nodded.

"I am," I said.

"Me, too," Luke said.

"Oh, yeah," Dutch said.

"I am," Eddie said.

"Do the four of you want to spend the rest of your lives together? I know that isn't an easy question, but tell me what you think."

I looked at my mates. I smiled at Luke. He pulled me up and we kissed. Then Luke kissed Dutch. I reached out to Eddie and we kissed. When we pulled apart, I asked, "Do you love me, Eddie?"

"I do. Dutch and I saw you in the store and we got so horny we had to have sex. That was when we met. I know that's sex and not love, but I think I fell in love when you and Luke tried to get Dutch and me mated. Everyone else in the pack seems to want to separate us."

"I think we are, Alephin," Luke said.

"We have a lopsided relationship.

"Dutch and Eddie, Tom and Luke are your mates, as well as your husbands," Alephin said, in his command voice. "Love them and respect them for the rest of your lives. If you do not, I will take your mates away from you. Do not let anything or anyone come between you. Do you understand?"

Eddie and Dutch both said, "Yes, Alpha."

"That's better," Alephin said. Then Alephin married Luke and me to Dutch and Eddie. They already felt married to us, because we saw them as our mates, if not our spouses. Once Alephin was done, we were all mates and all spouses.

"I want to kiss the bride," Eddie said. He took me in his arms and we kissed.

"Am I the bride?"

"I guess so," Luke said. "We will all be fucking you. And you will be having our babies. Does that bother you?"

"Yes. I want you to fuck me, and we have to wait."

Alephin chuckled.

I knelt in front of Alephin. Luke reached over and began stroking Alephin. Dutch moved behind Alephin and then Alephin groaned. I assumed Dutch was rimming him. Eddie got under me and tried to suck Alephin's balls. Alephin sighed and the sound of my Alpha being happy, made me happy.

I looked up at Alephin while I held my mouth open. He winked at me, as his warm milk shot into my mouth.

"Blink once if you've had enough, and twice if you want a lot of my spunk," Alephin said.

I blinked three times and he laughed.

He just kept coming, and coming. I reached out and felt his balls. I swallowed many times, but he was shooting faster than I could swallow. I closed my mouth to empty it completely, and a blast of semen hit my mouth. I opened it quickly again. I had no idea how he did it, but I finally had all I wanted.

"That's enough."

I closed my mouth and swallowed the last of it. Luke licked Alephin's spunk off my chin and chest. Alephin pulled me up and kissed me.

"I love you, pup," he said to me.

I hugged him.

"I love you, Alephin."

"I love you, too, Luke. If you ever want sex, let me know."

"I will, Alephin. I don't want to get fucked, but I may want to suck you."

He nodded and turned to leave.

"Have fun, pups!"

"Thanks, Alephin."

Alephin left, whistling. I heard Rince ask, "Had a good time?"

"Yep, and I'm ready for another one," Alephin said. "Let's go fuck Hephin."

Rince laughed.

"Damn, I really want to fuck you," Luke said to me.

"Me, too," Dutch said.

"And me," Eddie said.

"But Dag paid for a baby, so I don't want anything to go wrong. You can fuck me with condoms," I said.

None of them looked too enthused.

"Maybe if we just get your cocks into me, without fucking."

They grinned. Dutch moved behind me. We both groaned as his cock entered my body. Luke bent down and kissed me.

"How does it feel?" Eddie asked.

"Perfect!" I said.

"Like heaven," Dutch said.

"Let me try it."

Dutch pulled out and Eddie moved behind me. He pushed inside me, and then immediately pulled out.

"I didn't want to risk coming. For some reason, Tom makes me shoot quickly."

Eddie squatted behind me. I groaned as I felt his tongue on my asshole. I groaned even louder when his tongue slipped inside me. A mouth swallowed my cock. It had to be Dutch, since Luke was kissing me. While Eddie fucked me with his tongue, Dutch sucked me. I pulled away from Luke and gasped, as the most intense orgasm I'd felt hit me. I panted as Dutch stood. He pulled Eddie up and they kissed. When they pulled apart, Dutch grinned at Eddie.

"Did you like sharing his spunk?"

"Oh, yeah!" Eddie said.

I walked out of the closet and sat on the bed. Luke sat next to me. Eddie knelt and began sucking me. I sighed and leaned against Luke. He tilted my head up and kissed me. While we kissed, I felt Dutch move between Luke's legs. Luke and I were both sucked as we kissed. I couldn't believe I had ever been disinterested in sex. It had become my favorite activity. I thought about sharing thirty or forty orgasms a day for each of us. It was almost unbelievable. We didn't need a TV, that was sure. Luke pulled away and began sucking on my neck and shoulders. I reached down for Eddie's cock, but I couldn't reach it. Eddie shifted position and I began stroking him. Luke kissed me, again. Eddie stood. He began rubbing his cock next to our lips. Luke and I stopped kissing and began licking Eddie's erection. I swallowed the head briefly, before pressing it against Luke's lips. Luke swallowed the head and I reached up and felt Eddie's hairy belly and chest. He smiled at me before pulling out of Luke's mouth and offering his cock to me, again. I swallowed it and began sucking. Luke held my head in his hands and moved me on Eddie's cock. Eddie groaned as his warm sperm shot into my mouth. Luke pulled me off Eddie and kissed me. We shared Eddie's load, the way Dutch had shared mine with Eddie. It was the most erotic thing I had ever done in my brief but intense sex life. Eddie knelt and began sucking me, again. Dutch stood.

"Let's suck Dutch together," Luke said.

Eddie pulled off me.

"He hates it when he has two mouths on his cock," Eddie said.

"You liar!" Dutch said to Eddie.

Luke and I laughed.

"Just for that, I'm not going to fuck you, again, no matter how much you beg!" Dutch said to him.

Eddie's mouth dropped open.

"I have never begged for anything from you!"

"You've begged me to suck you!" Dutch said.

"I just asked, politely," Eddie said.

We all laughed.

"You two are so cute," I said.

"No! We are manly men!" Eddie said.

"Cute manly men," I corrected him. "Men I love."

Eddie kissed me, again. Then Dutch did. I stroked Dutch.

"Luke, my wolf is not very happy that his mate smells like you," Eddie said.

"Mine feels the same way," Dutch said.

"Hmm. I wonder if we should each cover a part of him or mix our spunk and cover him with the mixture. I'm new to the wolf business. What do you think?" Luke asked Eddie.

"I want a mixture," I said.

"OK!"

"I've got to use the restroom. I'll take a quick shower to rinse off your spunk," I said.

"I wish we could take one together," Dutch said.

That did sound nice. I decided it was kind of dumb to be a billionaire and the four of us living in a room in someone else's house. Of course, it was the Alpha's house, and an honor.

"A really big tub would be nice, too," Luke said.

"We have the money to build a house," I said to Luke.

He nodded.

"We should talk it over with Alephin," Luke said.

"Yeah."

I walked into the bathroom and closed the door. After I relieved myself, I got in the shower. My three mates walked into the bathroom. I got into the shower stall and they joined me. I laughed. We couldn't close the stall door. We all tried to squeeze over on the opposite side, but we still couldn't close it.

"Nice try," I said, laughing."

They got out and I rinsed off in a hurry.

When I stepped out of the stall, Luke began drying me with a towel. Dutch and Eddie were kissing. I loved them, but they were my mates accidentally. I wondered if they regretted it at all. Then I realized I could ask myself the same question. It had just been Luke and me. I was happy to have them as mates. They probably felt the same. Plus I could give them two things they couldn't give each other: an ass to fuck and babies. Looking at them, I felt intense lust. I actually craved being fucked by them.

Dutch and Eddie pulled apart.

"Whoa!" Eddie said. "That's some concentrated lust."

The three of them looked at me. They were all smiling. I forgot about my worries.

"We need our own house," I said.

The three of them nodded.

"Will it be difficult to build a house, here? You guys work in construction," I said to Eddie and Dutch.

"Not at all," Dutch said. "That is the one thing we are good at."

"Oh. I was hoping you were good at fucking," I said, mock seriously.

They laughed. "We would be if we got to practice! Do you know how hard it is to find a bottom in the pack?"

I smiled. I wondered why they didn't just fuck women, since they insisted they were bisexual. But I wasn't going to suggest that. "No. I don't know. I know there are lots of places to get sucked. I'm surprised Alephin doesn't hire a bottom for the young men."

"Yeah. A male bottom for the straight males, like our mates," Luke said.

"We're bisexual," Dutch said. "Not straight."

"If you are bisexual, why didn't you just fuck females?" Luke asked. I guess he was bolder than me. I almost laughed. Anyone and everyone was bolder than me.

I smelled Alephin.

"That's a great idea," Alephin said, from the doorway. "How much will you charge, Tom?"

"No. No. No. No. No," Luke said.

"And no," Dutch added.

Alephin chuckled.

"I'm off to a meeting. Are you still happy together?"

I nodded. The others nodded, too.

"See you later, pups."

"Oh, Alephin," I said. "I think we need a house of our own. It's going to be too crowded. Can we build one near here, or even next to you?"

"How close do you want to be to me?"

"Within swallowing distance," I said.

They all thought that was hilarious. Alephin laughed the loudest. I smiled. I was very happy. I remembered what Bob said in the dream, a whole lifetime ago. 'You'll be alone, at first.' I was definitely not alone, anymore.

"I can shoot next door, and I have. That's Les' old home. Would three bedrooms be enough?"

I looked at the others. They nodded.

"Sure."

"You can have it, if you want. You can remodel it the way you want and make it more secure at the same time."

I walked up and hugged him.

"Thanks. I love you," I said.

"I love you, pup.

"We can talk about it when I get back. I'll double-check with Les, but he is very happy at Hephin's. I am sure he won't mind. I own the house."

"Thanks, Alephin," Luke said.

"See you soon," he said, as he walked away. "Don't forget I will be breeding you tonight."

"I won't! I can't wait!" I said. I heard him chuckle.

I lay down on the bed, smiling at my mates.

"Why don't we use a container to mix it?" Eddie asked Luke.

"Good idea."

Luke left the bedroom and came back with a glass.

"I want to watch you fill it," I said.

"You don't want to help?"

I took the glass and began stroking Luke with my other hand. Dutch kissed Luke, while Eddie rimmed him. Luke groaned as semen shot out of his cock. I continued stroking him as jet after jet of white cream shot into the glass. When his orgasm ended, I got down on the floor and stroked Eddie's cock. I caught his spunk in the glass, and then did the same to Dutch. The glass was about half full. I began stroking Luke, again. He came, after a couple of minutes. Then I made Eddie and Dutch come, again. I swirled the semen around in the glass. I tasted a sip and heard my mates groan. I handed the glass to Luke and lay down on the bed. Luke poured some of the semen on me and the three of them rubbed it into my skin. Eddie was closest. I pulled his mouth to mine. We kissed while the others covered me with their jizz. Eddie pulled away, after a couple of minutes. He smiled at me.

"I need your cock inside me, Eddie. I don't know why, but I need it."

"I need to get it into you. I guess it's a mate thing."

I reached for it and he brought it to my mouth. I sucked him while he joined the other two, coating my skin. He began fucking my mouth. I left my mouth open and let him fuck. The scent of all three of my mates' cum was intoxicating. It was making me even more horny than I'd been. I wrapped a hand around Eddie's balls. He began shooting in my mouth. I came when they began rubbing their semen into my cock. One of them swallowed my cock.

They finished the front of my body. I watched the three of them stroke themselves for more spunk. By the time all three had shot in the glass, my front was dry. I rolled onto my stomach. I lay there while they rubbed it onto my back. What we were doing was so alien compared to anything in my old life, I couldn't help thinking about the aliens who made Vin-Ta. What were they like? They were shape shifters, I'd been told. Did they change shape continually? Or did they have a single shape they remained in most of the time?

The three of them coated my back. I felt someone's hand slip between my butt cheeks. I groaned.

"I need to fuck you," Dutch said.

"I need you inside me," I said. "It's like an itch."

"I know what you mean," Eddie said.

Dutch pushed a finger inside me. He left it in me while they finished covering me. Afterwards, I lay there waiting for it to dry.

"Why don't we look at the house next door?" Eddie suggested.

That sounded like a good idea.

We put on clothes. As we left the bedroom, we passed Rince, who was carrying a baby.

"Is the house next door locked?" Luke asked Rince.

"I doubt it. Hardly anyone locks their door, here. But I will get you the key, just in case."

Rince walked into another room and came back with a key ring with at least twenty keys on it.

"I don't know which one is to the house next door. You can try them or call Les. Alephin will be back in about an hour. He can tell you."

"We'll find it. Thanks, Rince," Luke said.

Rince smiled. "You're welcome."

"Howard, will you go with them?" Rince asked one of the guards.

"Sure."

We left the house. Howard walked next to me. He was a nice looking guy. He looked very military, with very short hair.

"Alephin and Dag are getting you your own guards," Howard said to us.

"Oh. That will take some getting used to," Luke said.

Howard nodded his head.

"For the guards, too. Pack Vin-Ta sure have a lot of sex. It makes me wish I was pack. Life is one big orgy here," Howard said.

"It must be distracting," Dutch said.

"It is. Yesterday, I watched Alephin fuck a woman while eating another one. It was hotter than any porn I've ever seen. We watch Alephin have sex with his son and grandson every day, too. Alephin must have over a hundred orgasms a day. If I sound jealous, I am."

Dutch and Luke laughed.

We were on the porch. Luke tried the door. It was locked. He tried a key.

Howard was looking around.

"Is talking to you distracting?" I asked him.

"No."

"Does any of it disgust you?" I asked him.

"No. Prudes don't get hired for this job."

I nodded.

"Do you have a mate?" Eddie asked him, while Luke tried a different key.

"No. I was planning to go looking for her, but when my contract is up, I've just about decided to live here. There are plenty of willing women. On my last day off, I was in the canteen, eating alone. A woman sat at my table and introduced herself. Two minutes later, I had pushed the dishes out of the way, and I was fucking her on it. Then she introduced me to her friend, and I fucked her, too. While I was fucking her, Les began rimming me." Howard looked at Dag. "Maybe you shouldn't tell Hephin that Les rimmed me."

"Hephin doesn't care about oral sex. He knows Les comes over here to suck. He doesn't want his pack members fucking or getting fucked outside the pack, though."

Howard nodded.

Good. Anyway, I never felt anything like it-fucking while getting rimmed. I was in heaven, let me tell you! By the time I left, several people were fucking in there and the room reeked of pussies, lust, semen, and my wet ass. When I pulled out of the second woman, Les sucked a third load out of me. Man, is he good! I definitely like it here! I'm not looking forward to being fucked by Alephin, though, and he requires that of his pack members."

"It wasn't that bad," Luke said. "And it's just once."

Howard nodded.

"I didn't say I wasn't going to do it, but I may need to get really drunk before I let him."

I wondered if I reeked of semen. My mates had just covered me.

"Do I smell bad?" I asked him.

He grinned. "I like the smell of semen, so no. I may have a little pack blood in me. Most non-pack aren't really into it."

It was kind of embarrassing, but Howard liked it, so there was no sense in being embarrassed about it with him.

"As a matter of fact, I would enjoy watching your mates cover you. I've never seen it done. Maybe Les could suck me while I watch. Damn! That would be hot!"

"I don't mind if they don't," I said.

"I don't mind," Luke said.

"I don't mind, either," Dutch said.

I looked at Eddie. He grinned at me and groped my butt. I rubbed his crotch and felt his erection. Eddie pulled it out and I began stroking him.

"You are a good-looking guy. Has a woman ever turned you down?" Dutch asked Howard.

"Oh, I don't have trouble getting dates, but I don't really like the bullshit of dating."

"I hear you there," Luke said, as he tried another key. "What you are interested in is sex and what she wants to do is talk about herself and then try to get you to open up and tell her your life story."

"Exactly!" Howard said. "And I want to say, 'Look, honey. If the sex isn't good, everything else is irrelevant, because there won't be a second date.'"

That seemed harsh to me, but all three of my mates were nodding their heads in agreement. What did I know about dating? Or women, for that matter.

Luke got the door unlocked and we went inside. The house was very similar to Alephin's. Alephin's house had four bedrooms, and Les' had three, but that was plenty for us.

I started to feel strange. I got dizzy. I sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Are you all right?" Luke asked.

"I feel weird."

Luke, Dutch, and Eddie surrounded me.

"What is it?"

"I don't know," I said. But then I had the strongest feeling that I was pregnant. I wasn't thinking about pregnancy. The idea just popped into my mind. But I wasn't worried about how I felt.

Luke sat on one side of me and Eddie on the other. Dutch squatted in front of me.

"I think it might be because of the pregnancy."

"So you are really like Hephin," Howard said.

I nodded.

"That's why this house really needs to be secure," Luke said.

Howard nodded.

"Do you think you want to live here? If you do, I will let Mr. Tuskus know and work on securing it can begin," Howard said.

"I like it," I said.

"Do you want something fancier?" I asked Luke.

"That doesn't matter a bit to me," Luke said.

I looked at Dutch and Eddie.

"It would be fun to build our own place. Design everything from scratch, but we can do that later," Dutch said.

"I agree," I said. "But maybe we should ask Les."

"Will you ask Dag to make sure it is OK with Les?" Luke asked.

"No problem," Howard said.

He touched a Bluetooth headset on his ear and spoke softly.

"You are sure you are all right?" Dutch asked me.

"I'm pretty sure. But, I'll ask Hephin about the symptoms he experienced when he got pregnant."

"Dag is coming over," Howard said.

A minute later, Dag walked into the house with another security man.

"Are you all right?" Dag asked me.

"I got dizzy and had to sit down."

"Hephin gets dizzy, too. Do you want the doctor to see you?"

"I had a feeling it was pregnancy-related."

"Yes, but if the dizziness doesn't pass, you should see the doctor," Dag said.

"Maybe you should get checked out, anyway," Luke said to me. "When was the last time you had a check-up?"

"I'm not sure I ever had one. I don't get sick."

"Most Vin-Ta don't," Howard said.

"I would feel better if he looked you over, anyway," Luke said. "I want to know if you need to take vitamins or eat or avoid certain foods."

Dag was nodding and I was probably pregnant with his baby.

"OK. I need to know if I should take any supplements, like calcium."

"I'll call Doctor Adams," Dag said.

"Thanks. We like the house, but we want a bigger master bathroom," I said.

"We want to all be able to fuck Tom in the shower and the bathtub," Eddie said.

I was embarrassed, again, but Dag just nodded his head.

"What did you think of the bathroom at Hephin's pack house?" Dag asked.

"It was nice."

"Do you want the same kind of thing?" Dag asked.

"That would be fine."

"Are you going to be getting any more mates?" Dag asked me.

I stared at him. I thought about saying 'of course, not', but I would have said that yesterday, and it would have been untrue.

"I sure hope not!"

They laughed.

"Are there any other changes you want?"

I looked at Luke. He shrugged.

"Can either of you think of anything?" I asked Dutch and Eddie.

"I always wanted a big screen movie room," Eddie said.

"Maybe one of the bedrooms would work for that," I said to Dag.

"It should. Is an eighty inch screen big enough?"

I laughed. It sounded pretty big to me!

"I think so," Eddie said.

"I really like the sex room at Hephin's," Dutch said. "Especially the slings."

"Hmm," Dag said. "You may need a bigger house. Don't forget you will need a nursery. And later, a play room."

I nodded. Then I thought of something.

"I always thought an indoor pool would be great to have. We could go swimming in the winter," I said.

"Well, it's obvious this house is too small," Dag said. "There is no reason in the world why you should settle for it. Alaphin has plenty of land. Personally, I would like to see you closer to Hephin's pack, although that is your decision."

My preference was to stay close to Alephin. I loved him and I didn't love Hephin. I felt completely safe around Alephin, too.

"Why?" Luke asked.

"Because security is much tighter there. I don't know if you plan to go on runs, but it isn't as safe to do that over here."

"What do you mean by runs?" I asked.

"As wolves," Eddie said. "We would all shift and go running and playing as wolves. It's a lot of fun."

If it wasn't safe, I didn't want to do it.

"Is that important to you?" Dag asked me.

"I'm not doing anything that isn't safe. Period," I said.

"Well, you are safest staying in the house, but you may tire of it. Some pack Vin-Ta go stir-crazy."

"Could we go running with your pack?" Eddie asked Dag.

"It would be up to Hephin. I really don't know how he would feel about it."

"Should I be running if I'm pregnant with two babies?"

"Vin-Ta females do, early in their pregnancies," Dutch said.

Dag nodded.

"It's not important to me. If you guys want to go running, I'll be in the pool. The indoor pool. With security," I said.

Dutch and Eddie laughed.

"I'll be in the pool with you," Luke said. "I had enough running before I met you when I lived as a wolf in the park. Maybe later I will feel like it, again."

"Why don't we go talk to Alaphin about locations?" Dag suggested.

We walked next door to Alephin's house. He wasn't home, but Rince said he was due back in a few minutes. Dag joined Hephin in the nursery. We went back to our bedroom and put more things away.

I wondered how long it would take to build a house. The more I thought about it, the happier I was that we would have our own place. I still wanted to be near Alephin, though. I wondered if we could demolish Les' house and build on the land next door.

After I had put my things away, I sat down on the bed. Luke sat next to me. I smelled my forearm and smiled. I looked up and saw Dutch grinning at me.

"Can you smell me?"

"I'm not familiar enough with your scent to pick it out, but I think I smell fantastic."

Eddie was bending over. Dutch moved behind him and rubbed his cock against Eddie's ass.

"I've decided you can stop begging me to fuck you," Dutch said to Eddie. "This is your lucky day."

Eddie stood.

"Ha! You are the one who is always trying to get Alephin to command me to fuck you," Eddie said.

"In your dreams, wolf boy!"

Luke and I laughed.

I pulled his cock out a leg of Luke's shorts. He leaned back on the bed, while I sucked him. I looked over and saw Dutch and Eddie kissing. I wondered, and was a little worried about how taking me and Luke as mates would affect their relationship to each other. After all, we were their mates accidentally. But it didn't seem like it was hurting it; they were kissing passionately. I was happy about that.

I was sucking Luke with my eyes closed, when I heard Dag's voice.

"Doctor Adams is here, Tom."

I pulled off Luke and stood. I followed Dag into the living room. He looked young, but that didn't mean much. He could be a couple hundred years old. He had sandy brown hair, which seemed unusual. Almost everyone I'd seen in the pack had brown or black hair. My three mates had black hair on their heads, as well as their bodies. My hair was dark brown. Looking at my mates gave me an erection. Dutch saw me looking at his crotch. He pulled his erection out of his pants and let me look at it. The doctor held out his hand.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Tom."

I smiled.

"You, too."

"People call me Doc, but my name is Richard Adams. I answer to either of them."

I nodded.

"I got a little disoriented and then dizzy a few minutes, ago. We think I got pregnant yesterday."

Doc nodded.

"Have you ever suffered from dizzy spells before?"

"No."

"Well, lots of things can cause them. Male pregnancy is one of them. You can thank Hephin for being the guinea pig who taught me that."

I smiled.

He took my temperature and then my blood pressure.

"Both normal."

He frowned.

"Luke is your mate, but I smell."

Dag cut in.

"Alephin made Dutch and Eddie their mates. They are a quartet."

Doc raised an eyebrow.

"Alephin amazes me, constantly," he said.

I frowned. I wondered how he meant that.

"We are glad," Eddie said. He was jacking off Dutch. "Dutch and I wanted to be mates, but I wasn't looking forward to spending the rest of my life begging him to let me fuck him. This way we are still mates, but we have Tom to fuck and Luke to love."

"You better love me, too, or no fucking!" I said, joking.

"We do love you. Don't we, Dutch?"

"Very much."

I smiled.

"Hmm. Well, Alephin always seems to know best," Doc said. "Sometimes it takes a while for me to catch on."

Dag chuckled.

"His pack does run smoothly. I've seen some that were more like war zones, with factions hating each other," Dag said. "I was very surprised to learn that every male in the pack is fucked by him at least once, but it shows very clearly whether a young male is submissive towards him, or not."

Doc nodded.

"Not just young males. He fucked me after he offered me the job. I was a hundred and ten."

I was surprised.

Doc wiped my arm with an alcohol swab. I groaned when he picked up a needle. I hated needles! Luke put his arm around me. I closed my eyes. I waited and waited, but didn't feel it. I felt Doc's hands on me. Then he let go. I opened my eyes and saw him holding a vial of blood.

"How did you get that?"

He grinned at me.

"I've been doing it for a hundred and twenty years. A bit longer than your average human phlebotomist."

I laughed.

I watched him sniff the blood.

"It smells normal."

He examined my eyes and ears.

"You seem very healthy, which is no surprise. We can't say for sure whether you are pregnant, yet, but you are healthy. Unless you feel symptoms other than brief dizziness, I would not worry about it."

"Should he take pre-natal vitamins?" Luke asked.

"I recommend a daily multivitamin and a calcium supplement. I'll have the pack store deliver them."

The door opened and Alephin walked into the room.

"Anything wrong?"

"No," Doc said. "Tom was dizzy, briefly."

Alephin nodded.

He walked over and squatted in front of me. He took my hand and held it.

"Hephin threw up a few times," Alephin said.

I nodded. I was surprised by his concern for someone he had just met. But I loved him and I guessed he really did love me. Alephin seemed to read my mind. He patted my leg and smiled at him. I smiled at him.

Doc put his things away.

"I'll have the lab results tomorrow, but I can tell by smell when something is wrong. You are fine," Doc said. "That doesn't mean you won't have other symptoms of pregnancy, though. Like brief periods of nausea. Your body chemistry is changing, and you are going to feel it."

I nodded. That certainly made sense.

Elepan walked into the room carrying a baby. A toddler. The little boy waved at me. I grinned and waved back. Elepan had a moustache. I looked at Eddie.

"You should grow a moustache," I said.

"OK.

"What about me?" Dutch said.

"There's nothing we can do about your appearance," Eddie said to him. "Except maybe clown makeup."

I laughed.

"I'll have to borrow yours," Dutch said. "And your floppy shoes, too.

We laughed.

"Call me if you have any symptoms that last longer than an hour," Doc said.

"We will," Luke said.

"Bye. Bye, Alpha."

"Thanks for stopping by," Alephin said to him.

He left.

"Alephin, they need a bigger house than Les'," Dag said. "Tom would like an indoor swimming pool, for one thing. I think that is probably a good idea. He'll be safer swimming indoors."

"That's true."

"I would still like to live close to you, though," I said.

Alephin nodded.

"You are safest next to me, or next to Hephin's pack. Since you are in my pack, having you close to me, is my preference, too."

He seemed to be thinking.

"That lot isn't that big, but you could build up, with several floors," he said.

"That sounds good to me," I said.

I looked at my mates. They were nodding.

"I think we should have an underground passageway connecting the two houses," Alephin said to Dag. "We may not ever need it, but you never know."

Dag nodded.

"Do you want to handle it, or should I?" Alephin asked Dag.

"I will be happy to do it, if that won't be a problem," Dag said.

Alephin shook his head.

"It isn't. I trust you, and Tom is having your baby."

Dag grinned.

"I can hardly believe it!"

If you enjoyed it, let me know and I will continue it.
