Mated to the Pack Ch. 25

They sat together on the couch.

"I made a point of introducing you to my parents, and Rene and Sasha. Do you remember Sasha?"

"She's the gorgeous Amerindian woman with the handsome Frenchman for a husband, right?" Lucy said.

"That's right. Good memory. Sasha is Sean's mother."

Peter scoffed. "She can't be more than four or five years older than Sean is."

"She's over a hundred years older than he is. Gerhard, is my grandfather, and the father of my mother."

"He's younger than she is!" Peter protested.

"Much older, about a hundred and ten years older. Brigitte and Alicia are both around sixty years of age, older than my mother."

"Come on. You don't expect us to believe that, do you?" Peter said.

"What you're about to learn, is why you signed those documents earlier. You can't tell anyone about it, ever. The federal government does not deal kindly with leakers. I know of a young man who disappeared after talking about it. I have no idea what happened to him. For the show part of this, I'm going to ask Conor, Alicia and Brigitte to take off their clothes. They need to be naked for this. Go ahead."

The three of them stripped off. I think both Peter and Lucy became aroused, and why not. Conor's dick began to expand, scenting the arousal. Lucy had a hard time taking her eyes off of it.

"Gerhard, Sasha, Rene, Conor, Brigitte, Alicia, Ingrid, and many others at the wedding today are shapeshifters, able to transform to wolves and back to human again. The three naked ones are going to shift to their wolf forms now. Don't be frightened. They're not dangerous to you, no matter what they look like. Wolf shapeshifters are the source of the legends about werewolves, so that's how I think of them, as werewolves. You can pet them. They understand English, though they won't be able to speak it in their wolf form. Go ahead, friends, shift."

In under a second for the two older wolves and just over a second for Conor, the wolves shifted. Both Lucy and Peter gasped, Lucy clutching Peter's arm. I began to tell them about the genetics of wolves and why they needed to mate with humans in order to have puppies. How it was suspected that their ability to shift refreshed their genes and gave them much longer lifespans than humans had. And, that wolves as wolves had to mate with human women.

"You mean you expect Lucy to fuck a wolf to have a puppy?" Peter said.

"I don't expect anything. Lucy may not be able to mate with a wolf. A lot of people couldn't. I've done it, Gretchen has done it. A lot of women have done it, including your sister, Janet. She's carrying a puppy, her second. Barbara will do it. She knows what's involved and she doesn't want shapeshifters to become extinct, any more than the rest of us do. Before paying for puppies, wolves had to seduce women into breeding for them. They are, because of their lifespan, and how frequently they have sex, very good at having sex. Having sex with them in their human forms, is the best sex I've ever had. In their wolf forms, they're still good. Tender, gentle, caring. Lucy would undoubtedly orgasm during her breeding if you allow it.

"Gerhard was seducing my grandmother to have a puppy, but he impregnated her in his human form, so she had a human child, my mother. Sasha was raped by a rogue wolf in their human forms, so she had Sean, fully human, despite being the product of two wolves. The secret wedding that I mentioned is going to happen tomorrow, is the wolf mating ceremony. Since Gerhard is a sub-alpha in charge of all the wolves in northern Wisconsin, alphas are here to witness the mating from all over the country. Actual marriages between wolf and human are extremely rare because of the disparity in aging rates and the relative indestructibility of wolves. Since werewolves are supposed to be kept secret, anything that identifies them as another species, can't be allowed.

"Janet will be close to death before Gerhard looks more than ten years older than he does now. It is this disparity that causes problems in human/wolf marriages. They'll have to stop appearing together as man and wife to anyone who doesn't know about shifters. In six or seven years, they planned to have a boating accident on Lake Michigan and fake their deaths. Barbara, knowing about wolves already, would have been the only one who could know that Janet wasn't dead. You would have mourned your sister's death not knowing she was alive, but no longer able to appear in public. That's why it was important for you to at least agree to the possibility of breeding. Now she doesn't have to be dead to you. It was the one thing she was most worried about in marrying my grandfather. Your parents are elderly themselves. They could conceivably die before Janet had to disappear, but she wanted you to know, her younger brother and your wife. Why don't the wolves shift again, and dress."

As they shifted and dressed, I said, "Because werewolf puppies are relatively indestructible, they can't be raised around humans. Janet may be able to see her children with Gerhard, but not raise them, as they could accidentally harm her. Human children can't be raised among werewolves, because they could be harmed accidentally, and wouldn't know it needs to be kept secret, and might inadvertently blurt it out to people who can't know. Human children are given up for adoption, which is what happened to my mother, and Sean. If Lucy does have a puppy, they will still be alive in three hundred years, barring a violent death. It will never get sick or have any type of disease. A werewolf can't give you a disease. I just learned today that my second child is already the size of an eight month old child, even though it's only four months old. She's rapidly maturing as a child, or as wolves say, a puppy. Even before she has her first shift, she's relatively indestructible. She'll heal from most anything."

"Why does Janet have to have a separate wolf wedding ceremony for the wolves?" Lucy asked.

"Wolf traditions, ceremonies and societies are very different from human society. Wolves are very sexual. Monogamy is not a part of their existence. There is no 'forsaking all others' for wolves. From the time that they reach maturity, at about the age of seven or eight, they're expected to show obeisance to any senior wolf who asks for it. That obeisance is usually sexual in nature. Both oral and intercourse, including anal for both males and females, and vaginal for females. They tend not to demand vaginal sex when a wolf is fertile, but everything else is on the table. Conor are you fifteen now?" I asked.

"Just turned sixteen," Conor replied.

"Conor was first considered an adult, when he had his first shift to wolf at age seven. His government issued ID identifies him at his apparent age, not his real age, but he's got more sexual experience than most sixty year old men, with both males and females. Brigitte's DL doesn't say she's sixty-one, it says that she's my age. Wolves mate for life, except for death, and to ease the shift from human to wolf, they go naked most of the time when they're among their own kind. It's possible that it's easier for them to mate for life because they aren't monogamous, or expected to be so.

"The mating ritual tomorrow will involve lots of nudity, and likely sex. With a lot of alphas present at the ceremony, a lot of junior wolves will be sucking cocks and licking pussy as symbols of their deference to their elders. Janet will be nude, and probably having sex in public, and it may not just be Gerhard she has sex with. If she's going to join wolf society, she'll be expected to act like a wolf. Normally, a female wolf becomes an alpha when she mates with an alpha. That's limited in Janet's case. She can't fight with other wolves to establish a pecking order. Only wolves in her own sub-pack will show her obeisance, and only if they wish to. She'll have no say in pack politics or decisions unless it also affects humans. I suspect you'll see Janet mounted by a wolf. When she is, you'll see what it would look like if both Lucy and you agree to breeding. You don't have to attend, but if you want to know what her life will be like, you might want to go."

"Who would have sex with me if we agreed to have a puppy?" Lucy asked. She was glancing at Conor's cock just before he pulled his pants up.

"Since you live in Milwaukee, it would be determined by the alpha of the southern Wisconsin pack. He'll be at the ceremony tomorrow if you'd like to meet him. They each have territories, which don't wholly follow state boundaries. Gerhard's pack includes northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Gerhard is a sub alpha of that pack, and his alpha is in the UP near Marquette. He's the oldest wolf I've met. He fought in both the Civil War and World War I. Barbara's breeder will probably come from the Michigan pack that governs the rest of Michigan, and perhaps part of northern Indiana. Packs seem to center around wooded areas, so there aren't that many wolves in the Prairie states, like Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, which are all under the Missouri pack.

"The alpha will usually be one of your breeders, but doesn't have to be. Generally speaking, four wolves per day during your fertility would have sex with you, offering several wolves the chance to have offspring. A wolf can scent when you're fertile and most male wolves will get erections when they scent a fertile female. They also respond to female arousal. It's the reason Conor had an erection. There was one or more aroused or fertile females here. You can't hide being horny from a wolf. They can also scent when you get pregnant, usually two days after conception, which is when they'll cease trying to breed you as a wolf. They need to be able to scent pregnancy, because a female can no longer shift shortly after they become pregnant, and are stuck in that form to protect the fetus from the dangers of a shift.

"I can take you to the wolf compound to view the ceremony, but you'll need to be blindfolded to go there, until you are willing to sign an actual breeding contract. It's to protect their secrecy."

"Have you seen Jessica have sex with a wolf?" Peter asked Sean.

"I did. I actually proposed to her during her second breeding. The wolf who bred her was being rewarded for discovering who and where I was, for my mother, and was the only wolf breeding her on that occasion. I probably had more of a problem with that one, because it was someone Jessica had loved and been submissive to, before me. I've seen it once since when she was showing a potential human breeder what it would look like. I didn't have as much of a problem with that one. If she was mated by the human form, that would be much tougher for me. The fact that it is a wolf makes it easier somehow. I know Jessica isn't interested in marrying a wolf, or running off with one. She already rejected a wolf she cared for because he was a wolf.

"If you're asking me if it's easy to watch, I'd have to say no, but you don't have to watch. If the two of you have an understanding that the sex that occurs with wolves is only sex, and doesn't represent an emotional attachment, it's possible that when Lucy is pregnant with a puppy, you could have sex with a female bodyguard. It's your present for putting up with wolf breeding and pregnancy, but you may not be able to divorce sex and love the way Jessica and I do. We've kind of assumed wolf attitudes about sex, and maybe that was easier because we're both descended from wolves. But I know that Jessica loves me, and she shows that every day, and it doesn't matter to her that I'm having sex with Brigitte, Alicia and Ingrid. She has sex with her bodyguards, as well as Gretchen, and I don't care about that either. She's a very loving, and giving person, and I know that."

"If you tell me where you're staying," I said, "and you want to go to the wolf mating ceremony, we'll pick you up and take you. You need to be ready to go at noon. If you don't want to go, let me know."

"Where are you staying, here?" Peter asked.

"We're staying on the wolf compound. My parents will be using this place tonight."

"Do you want to go, Lucy?" Peter asked.

"If we're really thinking of doing it, I think we have to go, so we know what it's like."

"We still don't have to do this if we go?"

"No, you're going there to understand Janet better, not because you're accepting a wolf breeding. As long as you go blindfolded, there's no expectation you're agreeing to a breeding. Up until you sign a contract and start accepting monetary assistance, it's all speculative. The wolves don't even know if Lucy is capable of conceiving. The medical exam has to come first."

"Then pick us up at noon. We're at the Americinn by Wyndham."

"I know where it is. Be ready to go. I don't want to be late. It's my grandfather being mated and I've never attended a mating ceremony before."

Before we left, I locked up and left the key under the mat. I'm sure my parents would be here soon with Lois.

We grabbed a couple of the soft cloth bags they kept on hand to cover Peter and Lucy's heads for bringing them to the compound and we were outside the hotel at noon, calling them as we pulled up in the parking lot. They came out to the car and got in the back seat with me in the middle. Brigitte and Sean rode in the front, Brigitte driving. As soon as we were on the road, I covered both of their heads and Brigitte drove around randomly to confuse the issue before we headed to the wolf compound, which didn't take all that long. When we got there, I removed the bags and we got out. The mix of wolf and human forms was roughly sixty percent human and forty percent wolf for the moment, plus the actual humans that were there, including my parents, Gretchen, Janet, and a few other breeders. As expected, nudity reigned supreme. There wasn't a single article of clothing among them. Peter's sister, Janet, the bride, was also naked and I don't know when the last time Peter saw her nude was, but he was getting an eyeful now.

"You don't have to remove your clothes, because you don't have to shift. We will, because we're comfortable being nude. Do what you want," I told Peter and Lucy.

We stripped off and left our clothes in the car. Both of them remained clothed. I recognized a lot of the foreign wolves, including Magnus and Takoda, from Arizona, Arturo and Julie from Grand Junction, Ward Johnson out of Penn Run, even Flint Spear from Canada was there, and as soon as Takoda shouted 'Wolf Daughter', Sean and I were inundated with wolves. I quickly met Steve, from Northern California, Lonnie from Missouri, and Gregory, from the southern Wisconsin pack, plus a dozen others I'd never met or heard of before. It was a little overwhelming.

I introduced Flint Spear to my husband. "Flint Spear is a Huron wolf who has visions of the future. He had a vision of me with Quinn. I told him I wouldn't mate with a wolf, and I wanted him to meet the man I did marry."

"Ah, yes, Sean Hagerty. A very fine man. I'm sorry your marriage is not fated to last that long. I can see that Wolf Daughter loves you."

"If she loves me, why wouldn't my marriage last that long?" Sean asked.

"I'm not sure, Sean. I do not see all of the future, only glimpses, but humans are fragile. Perhaps you drown. You run boats, don't you."

"I do, but I'm very careful."

"The sea is a powerful and fickle mistress. I hope I'm wrong, but a few years for you and Wolf Daughter is all I see for you."

"Then I shall have to love him twice as much," I said.

"Yes, I see that as well. He is a good man our man-wolf."

I looked at my husband. Please God, he's got to be wrong. I want to grow old with him. I clung to him and kissed him hard.

Gregory was a very handsome black wolf from between Milwaukee and Chicago originally, with a very nice prick, around nine inches long, and currently erect.

I brought him to Peter and Lucy. Her eyes popped.

"Lucy and Peter, I'd like to introduce you to Gregory, the alpha of southern Wisconsin. Peter is Janet's brother and Lucy is his wife. They live in Milwaukee, and they are trying to decide if Lucy will become a breeder like Janet. Peter is a little nervous because Lucy is his wife, and he's never before considered someone else having sex with her. Humans are more emotional about sex outside of their marriage. Lucy hasn't said yea or nay, and I'm sure a lot depends upon how Peter gets past the whole concept of infidelity."

"Peter, good to meet you," Gregory said, shaking Peter's hand. "I can sympathize with how strange that would be for you. I appreciate you even considering the need for wolves to procreate. I can assure you, we'd take very good care of Lucy, and wouldn't let any harm to come to her."

"Thank you, sir. No offense, sir, but it would be extremely embarrassing to me if my wife were to have a biracial baby, even if we weren't keeping it."

"If you and your wife would agree to breeding, we could either arrange for her delivery in another city, where you aren't known, or for her wolf breeders to all be of white ancestry. I understand how that would cause concerns for a husband. We'll do anything we can to allay any concerns you might have. It's very good meeting you. Lucy, it's a pleasure to meet you, too. I hope you and your husband can agree for you to be one of our breeders."

"Thank you, sir. It's an honor to meet you. How old are you?" Lucy asked.

"One hundred, seventy-seven. Are you going to tell me I don't look a day over one hundred and fifty," Gregory laughed.

Lucy laughed with him. "I was going to say a day over forty, but okay."

"That's what my driver's license says, so good guess."

"May I ask why you have an erection, sir?" Lucy asked.

"Because there are several aroused women in here, and I can scent every one of them."

"Would one of them be me?"

"I don't think it would be wise to comment on a woman's arousal in front of her husband," Gregory said. "Why don't you let him fuck you and find out."

Peter looked like he agreed with that statement, looking shocked that Lucy would ask.

"In front of everyone?" Lucy asked, flirting.

"Everyone in here is going to have sex in one form or the other before the mating ceremony is over. Don't be afraid of your own sexuality. Good to meet you both."

We went to the dining hall where we feasted. Lots of venison for the wolves, but 'regular' food for the humans present. I was seated at a table with all of the other humans, making it convenient for them to feed us with vegetables and salads, since we were about the only ones eating it.

There were some toasts to the mating couple. The most interesting one came from Hubert, the alpha of Gerhard's pack.

"For the second time in his life, Gerhard has fallen in love with a human. I never met the first one, as it was before my time as Alpha, but I've met their daughter, Anita, the fruit of their union, and she is an amazing woman, who herself was mated by her husband, Simon, and gave us Wolf Daughter, who needs no introduction to this company, as we've all heard of her exploits on behalf of wolves. Who could have imagined that his careless breeding of a human woman would lead to so much for wolves.

"Now, he has met Janet, another human, brought to Rhinelander by Quinn, tracker for the New England pack, and our own Wolf Daughter, and fallen in love again. She has already given one puppy to the pack, and is carrying another, this time, her mate's. She has learned the ways of the wolf, and is going to mate with one, giving up much of her past life to do so.

"The mating of wolf and human is very rare. So much so, that the last time in my memory it was done, was over fifty years ago. Such a mating has consequences for both. While mated to a human, Gerhard cannot rise within the pack. He is stuck in his current position as long as Janet is alive. As Janet is human, he can't rule with a co-alpha who can fight at his side as a wolf. She can make no decisions on the behalf of wolves, though I'm sure Gerhard will respect what words of wisdom she may offer. Where she will make decisions, is pertaining to the wolves' relations with humans, as she brings a perspective we don't often have.
