This story is fiction. None of the characters are based on real people.

This story takes place in the same universe as my stories Plan of the Shusheen, Son of a Wolf, Being Pack, Protecting Pack, and A Winding Path. It is a sequel to Protecting Pack and A Winding Path. You should read those two stories before you read this one. Plan of the Shusheen explains how three genetically-engineered shifter races were created.

Warning: this story contains incest scenes.

Five

Alephin told them all he knew about the Shusheen, the nearly immortal shapeshifters who'd visited Earth a hundred thousand years ago. He told them what the legends said about why they had changed some humans into shapeshifters like themselves. He told them about Jack's, Tom's, and Bobby's race. Chris, Nick Jr. and Bobby had trouble believing in male pregnancy. He named all the pups in his pack whose mother was a male. He explained what a pack was, and the rules in his pack.

"Are there any rules about sex?" Nick asked.

"Yes. It has to be consensual, except when someone is applying to join the pack," Alephin said.

"What about sex with someone else's mate?" Chris asked. Bobby wondered who he was talking about.

"In a Vin-Ta mated couple that normally won't happen. But some Vin-Ta have more than one mate, like Jack's father. Those members with more of the second race's blood seem to have weaker mating bonds. It is a possibility with them. And I have a mate, but I also have sex with other pack members. Jack, for example."

Jack smiled.

"This whole mate thing is very confusing," Nick said. He turned to Jack. "Your father is one of your mates?"

"Yes, but my mother is also his mate. We've never had sex and I doubt that we ever will. We feel lust for each other, but we ignore it. I have other mates to relieve the lust and he has my mother."

"Oh. Now I'm more confused," Nick said.

Alephin nodded his head.

"I can understand that. Tom, Jack, and Bobby have multiple mates. That seems to be a characteristic of the second race. Alphas excluded, the rest of the mated Vin-Ta in this pack only have sex with their mates. However, most of my pack members haven't met their mate. You folks are very lucky to have found yours so easily," Alephin said. Rince nodded.

The food was delivered and everyone took a break to eat.

"This pack is very open, sexually," Alephin said. "As you've seen. I try to keep the young males—those under eighty—who are unmated sexually satisfied. It cuts down on their aggression. We have an adult theater where sex is encouraged and a gloryhole in the gym. We don't have any females who want to suck cock anonymously, so I encourage the gay males in my pack to help fellow horny pack members."

"Jack and I both suck dick there," Tom added.

"I do it every day," Jack said.

"You suck dick at a gloryhole?"

"We both want to do something that helps the pack," Tom said. "And our mates enjoy fucking us while we're sucking."

"We both love to suck cock," Jack said.

"I love it, too," Bobby said.

Nicky leaned over to Bobby.

"We could share cocks the way we did Dad's," he whispered.

Bobby grinned at him.

"We might do that," Nicky said.

Alephin smiled.

"That would be great."

"I can understand why you want Techupawa to be sexually liberated, but why public sex?" Nick asked Alephin.

"For one thing, there are some oldtimers I hope will get disgusted and leave," Alephin said. "They would be happier in Jack's old pack, which is very religious, but I can't really evict them."

"One old woman is over five-hundred years old," Rince said. Alephin nodded.

"So if she sees you fucking Bobby on a table in the restaurant, she might decide it is time to leave," Alephin said to Nick. "But the main reason I encourage sex, public and private, because it keeps people happy and creates ties between pack members. A woman or man who has just had three orgasms is going to be mellow and smiling. And if they have those three orgasms in public, it will probably arouse other pack members enough to have sex. And then they will be mellow and smiling. As I mentioned, most of my pack members do not have mates. Some have spouses who aren't their mate, but many of them are single. A sexually-frustrated man or woman is going to be much more inclined to start trouble, and at the very least, will have a bad attitude."

Nick nodded his head. It was a strange way of thinking, but it made sense.

"You seemed to be really enjoying the sex outside, but I am a little concerned that you may start to feel guilty and regret what you did," Alephin said to Nick. Bobby, Nicky, and Chris looked at Nick. Each of them had wondered the same thing. "You led a conventional life before. Nothing about Techupawa is conventional."

Nick wasn't sure what to say. But then he had an idea. He lifted Bobby off his cock and put him on Nicky's lap. Then he took his phone and brought up one of Chris' hottest homemade porn videos. He handed the phone to Alephin. Alephin watched the video and smiled.

"Chris makes these videos for me to jack off to. That isn't exactly conventional. The reason I didn't have sex with Bobby was because of a promise I made to his mother. She died right after we got back from our honeymoon. She got sick while we were there and I'm the one who picked the location and the hotel. I feel I really let her down. I wanted to do something for her, and there was nothing else I could do."

"I understand. And the promise?"

"Is broken. It can't be unbroken," Nick said. "And I realize now that keeping the promise does absolutely nothing to help her. It was for me. But I was hurting Bobby and myself, and I love him too much to keep hurting him."

Bobby cheered.

While they were eating, there was a knock at the door.

"Come on in," Alephin said.

The door opened and Jack's mate Jerry entered the room. Jerry was horny and he didn't want to jack off. "How much longer do you think you'll be?" he asked Jack.

"I don't know. Let me introduce you."

Jerry looked at Bobby for the first time and his mouth dropped open. Bobby got hard instantly and he tried unsuccessfully to hide his erection by crossing his legs. That was a real advantage of wearing clothes.

"This is Bobby. As you can tell, he is my brother."

Jerry nodded his head.

"And these are his lovers, Nick, who is his stepfather and Nick's sons, Nicky and Chris. They shifted for the first time a few minutes ago and found out they are mates, as well as lovers."

"Wow! Your stepfather has been your lover?" Jerry asked.

"We hadn't had sex, but yes," Nick said. Bobby was surprised at that. Nick had thought of him as being his lover? He knew Nick would have had sex with him if not for the promise, but he thought it was just sex. Did Nick love him romantically? But maybe it was recent. Maybe it started when they first shifted and Nick found out Bobby was his mate.

"Jerry's twin brother Keith is also my mate," Jack said. "They are actually clones, not twins, but saying twins is just easier and maybe safer."

"I know what it's like to suddenly find out you aren't human. It was only about a month ago that I found out. Our father kept it secret from us," Jerry said.

"Why?" Nicky asked.

"He said he wanted me to finish high school before I found out."

"Did you?" Nick asked him.

"No. We came here, instead."

"Are you working on a GED?" Nick asked.

"No. What difference is it going to make if I have a high school diploma in two hundred years? It won't help me get a job here in the pack. And I can't work outside the pack."

Nick frowned.

"Is that true?" Nick asked Alephin.

"I'm afraid it is. I'm not saying he shouldn't get a degree, but it is pretty useless here."

"Why can't he work outside the pack?"

"Because he could be kidnapped to get at Jack. And he can't be protected outside the pack. He would need several full-time bodyguards and their pay would far exceed what he could get in salary."

Nick thought that through. In this new world, the rules were very different.

"That means I can't get a job, either," Bobby said. "Or any of us."

"Your father will have a job. But your special ability to have children is worth a great deal of money. Tom got paid billions for one baby."

Nick swallowed wrong and started coughing.

"Ba…billions? Why?"

"Because there are a lot of older Vin-Ta who have been unable to conceive. Vin-Ta are not very fertile because of our long life spans. That doesn't mean we don't have the same biological urge to procreate. That's the reason we have two sets of clones living here. It was easier to make clones than to get their mates pregnant. Jerry's father was one of them. He gave up trying to get his wife pregnant and had himself cloned. They raised Jerry and his brother Keith as their kids. Try to imagine how you would feel if you had been attempting to get your mate or wife pregnant for three hundred years." Nick nodded. "One of those desperate people impregnated Tom and paid him for bearing the child."

Bobby looked at Jerry, again. Jack was sucking him while Jerry looked right at Bobby. Jerry was a hot guy. Crossing his legs hadn't worked, so Bobby tried to cover his hardon with his hands.

"You aren't fooling anyone," Alephin said to Bobby. "Jerry is your mate. It is completely normal for your body to respond to him." Bobby nodded, but he was still embarrassed. "Jack's mates will always make you horny. Your mates will always make Jack horny. It's not something that will stop. As Jack said earlier, you don't have to do anything about it, but there is no point at all trying to hide it."

Bobby felt uneasy. He didn't want to watch Nick, Nicky, or Chris get hard every time they looked at Jack. There didn't seem to be anything he could do about it. Then he realized he would be getting hard anytime he was around Jack's mates. They couldn't all keep hiding their dicks. He would just have to get used to it. Besides, he loved their erections. Jack might get them hard, but Bobby was the one who would get to play with those three wonderful toys.

"You will all see public sex here. You can enjoy watching it. You don't have to pretend you don’t see it. If you feel like having sex, too, or just jacking off while you watch, do it," Alephin continued.

"You're all tensed up," Nicky said to Bobby.

Bobby thought about that for a second. Then he started laughing. Everyone wondered what was funny.

"I'm watching my clone suck another clone. I should relax?"

Several of them laughed.

Bobby leaned back and whispered, "I love you," in Nicky's ear. Nicky wrapped his arms tighter around his Bobby.

Bobby nodded. He forced himself to relax.

Nicky wrapped his hand around Bobby's cock and began stroking it. Bobby wrapped his hand around Chris' cock and stroked him.

"Why don't you suck Chris' pretty cock," Nicky said.

Nick listened to the wondrous sound of his son's voice. He could hardly believe the horrors of the car accident and Nicky's disability were over. The damage had been completely undone. He had always assumed that because of the disability, Nicky's life would never be normal. And he was right, just not for that reason. None of them would have normal lives. Nick wasn't sure if that was a good thing, but whatever the price, it was worth it to get Nicky healed. One thing was certain. They would be having a lot more sex. To Nick's left, Jack was sucking Jerry and Nicky was jacking off Bobby. And they were in a meeting!

"I know you folks need sex," Alephin said. "But we should finish up here first." They all nodded. "Do you have any questions?"

"Yes. I need to return home for clothes and we need to arrange to bring all our things down here. And I need to get a realtor to list the house. Is it safe for us to go home?" Nick asked.

"I wouldn't recommend taking Bobby, but the three of you should be safe for now. But you really aren't going to need a lot of possessions."

Nick could see that, but he had no idea what they would need. He decided they needed to learn more about life in a pack, before they could decide.

"I have a question," Nicky said.

"Shoot," Alephin said.

"Bobby liked me to bite his neck to…I guess mark him as mine. But they disappeared when he shifted. Is there a way to make them permanent?"

Nick turned and looked at his son in shock. What a question! But Alephin just nodded his head.

"Marking your mate is a very common Vin-Ta behavior. What you need to do is cover Bobby with your spunk. Then rub it into his skin. The scent will make it very clear to every Vin-Ta here that Bobby is your mate. Unlike the bites, the scent remains after shifting. It does wash off, so you may want to reapply it daily."

Nick stared at Alephin with his mouth open. "Are you serious?"

"Yes. Absolutely. It's a hell of a lot more fun than giving him a ring to wear on his finger."

Several of them laughed.

"Oh, man!" Bobby said. He looked up at Nicky.

"Let's do it!" Bobby said. "I want you to cover me."

"How much of him do I cover?" Nicky asked.

"Some people do just the face and torso. Some do more. Covering the hair on your mate's head is considered kinky."

"You have three mates," Nick said to Bobby.

"Actually, he has nine mates that we know of," Alephin said. "Jerry is just as much Bobby's mate as you are," Alephin said to Nick.

Nick nodded his head slowly.

"Do you want all three of us to cover you?" Chris asked Bobby.

Bobby smiled at him. "I think so." He looked at Nicky. Nicky looked miles away. Bobby wondered what he was thinking.

"Now there is something I would like to recommend," Alephin said. "As I mentioned to you Bobby, Jerry is your mate. It's biological. Now you can refuse to have sex with him and he may be fine with that. But his wolf will be unhappy that his mate ignores him. I don't know what the long term effects of that will be, but at the very least, there will be tension. And there is already tension in Tom's house because he keeps his mates—who are your mates—to himself. Your wolves could become very aggressive towards each other when you are shifted. If you do not wish to pool your mates, I recommend that you at least have regular—I guess orgies, where sex with each others' mates is allowed. I want to hear how you feel about that. You first, Jack."

"I don't know. I guess if you think it is best, I trust you," Jack said.

"Nicky, you seem the most possessive," Alephin said. "How do you feel?"

Nicky's first reaction was worry. Would he lose Bobby? But he loved watching Chris fuck Bobby and he was looking forward to watching his father do the same thing. He looked over at Jerry. He thought he was a hot guy with a nice dick. The thought of him fucking Bobby with it didn't bother him, as long as Nicky was with him. He thought of kissing Bobby while a string of men took turns fucking him. Bareback. Seeing their cum leaking out of his puffy hole. Then he could fuck Jack—Bobby's brother—while sucking Bobby or even while eating Bobby's cum-filled hole. Nick groaned softly.

Bobby knew how Nicky felt. He felt Nicky' cock get rock hard and then wet underneath him.

"As long as Bobby is not unhappy, it sounds hot," Nicky said.

Bobby looked at Jerry, who winked at him. Bobby had to smile. He looked at Jerry's erection and wanted it.

"The idea is making Nicky's cock hard, so I'm willing," Bobby said.

"It sounds perverted and disgusting," Chris said. "I'm in!"

They laughed.

"Nick, you've already had sex with Jack, so am I right in thinking you are OK with the idea?"

"Yes, as long as Bobby and Jack are happy."

"Excellent," Alephin said. "I am going to show you around the pack, now."

"Excuse me, Alephin, but I think maybe we should go home for some things," Nick said. "I brought nothing and my only clothes are in pieces. If we leave now, we can be back before it is too late in the evening. It sounded like waiting might be dangerous."

Alephin nodded. "I can't tell you how dangerous it will be, but people here will know Bobby's abilities the moment they see he is Jack's twin. Once people start talking, word will spread outside the pack and the danger will increase."

"I'm not willing to subject my sons to any danger," Nick said.

"Then I would advise you to get what you need ASAP and deal with everything else—movers, realtors, etc. from here."

Nick nodded his head.

"That's about what I thought."

"You realize that no one should see you, right, Dad?" Chris asked.

Nick frowned. "Oh! I'm younger!" he said, when he remembered.

"Yeah."

"Well, I'll park in the garage and load the car from there," Nick said. Chris nodded.

"I'm sure Tom needs to know how many beds you need," Jack said. "We can get that all set up while you are gone."

Nick, Nicky, and Chris looked at each other and then at Bobby.

"I'm sleeping with Bobby," Nicky said. "Always."

Nick and Chris looked at each other.

"Why don't we discuss that while we're on the road," Nick said to his sons. They nodded.

"I brought an extra pair of shorts and T-shirts," Nicky said to his father. "They will probably fit you better than Alephin's T-shirt does."

"Thanks, Nicky."

"Do we all need to go?" Nicky asked.

"I don't know what you want brought here. Besides, it will be quicker if we all go," Nick said.

Nicky nodded his head. Then he pulled Bobby's mouth to his and kissed his sweetheart. They both moaned as Nicky tried to get his tongue as deeply as he could into Bobby's mouth. He wished his tongue could penetrate as deeply into his lover's body as his cock could. Of course, an eight-inch tongue would probably not be as attractive as an eight-inch cock!

"I wish I could fuck you before we go," Nicky said.

Bobby nodded.

"We'll take both cars. We can carry more," Nick said.

"That sounds good," Chris said.

"Should we bring a TV, I wonder?" Nick said.

"There are three at Tom's house," Jack said.

"And you won't be watching TV. Not with a new mate," Alephin said.

Nick nodded.

All three of Bobby's mates kissed him passionately before getting into their two cars. Nicky rode with his father. Bobby waved as they drove off. He turned to Alephin.

"Do you think they are in any danger?"

"I seriously doubt it. Don't worry."

Bobby nodded. He looked around. It was very hot and very humid and he felt fantastic.

"This already feels like home."

Alephin smiled.

"This is a terrific place to live," Jack said.

"What do you think about all this?" Nick asked Nicky, once they were on the interstate.

"I'm really happy. I can finally tell Bobby how I feel. But it's weird, too. I feel weird about you. You're my age, now. Before, when I looked at you, you were just my dad. Now you are this hot guy I just met. And sucked."

"You think I'm hot?"

"Yeah."

Nick smiled.

"Did it bother you when I sucked you?" Nicky asked.

Nick sighed. "It should. I know it should. But I just thought it was hot."

Nicky grinned. "I loved doing it. I loved sharing your dick with Bobby." He watched his father nod. "Would you like us to do it every day?"

"Oh, fuck!"

Nicky reached over and groped his father. Nick didn't try to stop him. On the contrary, Nick pulled his cock out.

"Take yours out," Nick said to his son.

They began stroking each other's cocks.

"How do you feel about sharing Bobby?" Nick asked.

"A little uncertain. But I love sharing him with Chris, and now you. Maybe it will be fine."

Nick nodded.

"I wonder how Chris is taking all of this," Nick said.

Nick called Chris on his hands-free setup in the car. He had no free hands. He had one hand on the steering wheel and one around Nicky's dick.

"Hey, guy," Nick said.

"Hi, Dad."

"We were wondering how you feel about all these changes?" Nicky asked his brother.

"I don't think it has sunk in, yet."

"Do you wish we'd never gone to Techupawa?" Nick asked.

"Are you kidding? Nicky can talk! We may live hundreds of years! Bobby can give us kids! But it is overwhelming."

Nick and Nicky both nodded their heads.

"This is difficult for me to ask, but how do you feel about the incest?" Nick asked.

"It's was creepy, but my dick was very hard."

"Did it bother you when Bobby and Nicky sucked me?"

"I guess you didn't see the cum shooting out of my dick while I watched."

Nicky grinned at his father. There was a bead of precum at the tip of his father's cock. Nicky rubbed it over the head with his thumb, then resumed stroking him. Nick did the same thing to his son's cock.

They talked briefly before Nick ended the call.

Bobby, Alephin, and Jack entered the town proper, where the businesses and homes began. The first person who saw them was a woman who looked like she was about twenty-five. She stared at Bobby.

"This is Jack's brother Bobby," Alephin said. "He has joined the pack."

She nodded.

"Are you straight?" she asked. Bobby thought she sounded hopeful.

"No. I'm sorry—"

She got visibly angry. Bobby was startled and stepped back.

"You've changed, Alephin. You used to be straight, yourself," she said. "Now every new member is gay."

"Don't be ridiculous. I fucked you last week. And I've always been bisexual, Helen. My first sex act was with a man and a woman."

She sighed.

"Why don't any heterosexuals ever join the pack?" she asked Alephin.

"Well, for one thing, most Vin-Ta males are bisexual and you know that, too."

"My uh, mother-in-law is straight," Jack said. "She just joined."

"A woman with a mate. A lot of good she does me! All she did was make it worse. Jerr is straight."

Bobby looked at the woman. She had a moustache! It wasn't thick, but he couldn't imagine why she hadn't removed it. Then he noticed her legs were hairy, too. Were all Vin-Ta women hairy?

"Helen, I haven't rejected anyone, straight, bisexual, or gay for almost five years. Don't forget this pack is lucky enough to have many children and we will continue to have more. Bobby, here and his brothers will give birth to many sons. And Rince will be giving me sons. They will grow up quickly and I imagine many of them will be delighted to learn about sex from an experienced woman like yourself."

In a day full of shocks, Bobby got another one. He was going to have many sons? They would be having sex with this woman? He didn't know anything about her!

Helen frowned. "I suppose that is true, but that is years away."

"Helen, you can have as much sex as you want. Go into the movie theater in the afternoon. There will be several males willing to fuck you. Or you can suck or get fucked at the gloryhole."

Helen got angry. Alephin tried to keep from getting angry. Helen was Helen's problem. She was a good person, but she couldn't keep a man because of her behavior. She was insanely jealous when she had a boyfriend. Plus, she was especially hairy and she wouldn't shave. Alephin knew it would be a big hassle for her to keep shaved, but many found a woman with hair on her chest unappealing.

"Why don't you leave for a few weeks and go looking for your mate? Even if you don't find him, you might find men interested in joining my pack. That would be helpful and you might enjoy it."

Helen sighed.

"There are humans out there. I don't feel it's safe to leave," she said. "What about recruiting some of the guards. Maybe Ed, there."

Alephin smiled.

"I've been thinking along those lines," Alephin said to her. "But you shouldn't assume if a straight guard joins the pack that he will automatically have sex with you. And Ed is bisexual, too. Besides, but you already know he isn't interested."

"But maybe…"

She sighed.

"Why don't you come to my house in an hour? I'll relieve some of that tension," Alephin said.

She sighed. "OK," she said. She walked away.

Bobby looked up at Alephin.

"How are you going to 'relieve her tension'?"

"By giving her a few orgasms," Alephin said.

"You don't want to kiss him after he does that," Jack said. "Alephin loves to eat pussy."

Bobby shuddered and Jack laughed. "Exactly how I feel about it!"

"It's one of the only ways a man can make a woman scream using just his tongue," Alephin said, grinning.

Bobby and Jack laughed.

"That's good to know, isn't it?" Jack asked Bobby.

"I guess. But I've never wanted to make a woman scream."

Jack laughed.

"Then you better not eat any pussies," Jack said. Bobby chuckled.

"I'm surprised you didn't get mad at her," Jack said to Alephin.

He shrugged. "She is a nice person. She just goes crazy when she dates and crazy when she doesn't."

Bobby laughed. When was she not crazy?

"How come she doesn't want to get fucked in the theater or at the gloryhole?" Bobby asked.

"Because she wants a relationship, not casual sex. And she's jealous. When she does get in a relationship, she drives the man crazy. A few years ago, she accused a boyfriend of jacking off, and she did it in the canteen, in front of a lot of people."

Bobby and Jack laughed.

"She was jealous of his hand?" Jack asked.

Alephin shook his head. "It's sad. I wish she could be happy. She expends a lot of effort into being unhappy."

"She needs to shave her legs!" Bobby said.

Alephin laughed.

"What about her chest? Should she shave it?" Alephin asked.

"Eeww!" Bobby said.

Jack and Alephin laughed.

"You'll get used to it," Jack said to Bobby. "It isn't that uncommon in Vin-Ta females."

Alephin pointed out various businesses and facilities as they walked past them. They approached a building that was the tallest in the town. Bobby wondered if it was a prison, since the only windows were small and near the top.

"That's Tom's house," Jack said. Bobby didn't know what to say. It looked depressing. "It's very nice inside."

"The house on the far side of it is my house," Alephin said.

"Why is Tom's house larger than yours?"

"I love that house. My first mate, who has since died designed the house with me. To me, she's still in the house. Not her ghost, but I have many memories of her in each room. The rooms help keep the memories alive."

Bobby started thinking about his mother. What would he have to remember her by? In a hundred years, would he have forgotten her completely. That was terribly sad. He started to feel guilty. He tried not to think about his mother, or her death. He cried when he did. But was that worse than just forgetting her—trying not to think of her? He pulled out his phone.

"Hi, Nick."

"Is something wrong?" Nick asked over the phone.

"No, but while you are at the house, will you get some of my mother's things as…keepsakes, I guess?"

"I sure will. Don't worry. Family photos are going to be the first things I pack. But I'll bring some other things, too."

"Thanks. I love you."

"I love you, Bobby. Nick sends his love—"

"And lust!" he heard Nicky shout.

Bobby laughed.

"Hurry back!"

"Bye."

Bobby put his phone back in his pocket.

As they approached Tom's house, Jack asked Bobby whether he wanted to have sex with Jack's mates. If he didn't, Jack planned to tell his mates not to initiate anything.

"Well, we are going to have the orgies," Bobby said.

"I think you should do what feels natural for you," Alephin said. "If they excite you so much that you want sex, have it. Putting it off is not going to make anything better or make anyone happier."

Bobby nodded.

"Now that my mates—our mates—have two mates, can they have more orgasms?" Jack asked Alephin.

"Why not have some fun and find out?" Alephin said.

Bobby nodded, grinning.
