I would like to thank hcsd1719 for his help in editing and offering encouragement. Again, there are no actual sex scenes, since the main characters are underage. All italics indicate communication through the mental bond.
Please remember to vote and comment, I appreciate all comments and feedback. Thank you.
While the men were all gathering food and refreshments, Carlo asked his son through their bond,
"Son, are you ok? I know things are happening very quickly and I am afraid that I didn't prepare you enough, thinking that we had more time."
Anthony replied
, "I'm just scared Dad, I mean what the hell? One minute I'm throwing a football back and forth, talking to my buds about practice and girls, and the next second I'm mated? Is it supposed to be like this, this all consuming urge? I can't even think about anything else, my brain is like mush right now, and I have football and schoolwork, not to mention my work at the store. Most of all I'm just scared of royally fucking this up; I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing. And what the hell was that with Scott, I couldn't control myself, I wanted to hurt him and all he was doing was holding Sophia's hand. I feel the need to protect Sophia so bad that its making my stomach hurt, will it always like that?"
Carlo said to his son.
"We will be talking about a lot of these issues in the basement, but don't worry about your intended mate, the house has been secured and she is with her mother, aunt and your mom, so she is safe. Just get something to eat, whatever you feel isn't discussed in the basement, we will talk about at home. "
Twenty minutes later all the men were assembled down in Frank's man cave. It was one of his favorite Christmas presents to himself. The 60" plasma was every man's dream, with the soundproofing insulation even the surround sound system couldn't penetrate outside the walls. There were three leather couches, recliners, bean bag chairs and along the back wall was a wet bar complete with a soda fountain machine.
Like all new homes that Carlucci Construction Company built for pack members, the interior and exterior walls and floors were built of a combination of steel, rebar and concrete. With a push of a button steel doors would enclose all of the windows from hidden pockets, even the sliding glass doors leading to the patios. All doors, interior and exterior were manufactured from steel and painted to look like wood. Each house also contained a safe room, with enough supplies to last several weeks and separate telephone, air and water filtration systems. There hadn't been any wars or skirmishes lately, but South Mountain Pack wasn't taking any chances with their pack members lives.
Frank made sure that the door to the man cave was securely shut and entered the access code so that it would beep if anyone attempted to enter the room. What was going to be discussed tonight was for the men only. Things would be said concerning the male psyche that their loving wives and daughters may not understand and Frank didn't want to sleep out on that damn lonely sofa.
"In case some of you didn't understand what was going on tonight, apparently Sophia is the intended mate of Anthony. I know that they are both young for this to happen; females are usually at least 17 and males 18 when this happens, but Luna works in mysterious ways and she must have a reason for this. I must emphasize that regardless of her reason, pack law MUST be obeyed. There can be no carnal knowledge of Sophia until she reaches her age of majority at 18, no kissing until she is 16. I cannot emphasize this enough Anthony. To disobey this law means banishment from the pack and it doesn't matter if you are my son or not," Alpha Rossi stated emphatically. "You cannot be alone with her for any reason, believe me I know the temptation is immense. What we need to do for both of your protection is to ensure that you are never alone. I'm not sure if any of you are aware of this or not, but every morning of a female weres birthday, from the age of 15 until she turns 18, she is brought to a Doctor who ensures that she has remained pure. If she is found to have been breached, there are harsh consequences for her and her partner. I do not want that to happen to either of you."
"These laws were put in place over 50 years ago to protect underage female weres from overzealous mates and predators and have protected them from unwanted attention not to mention rape. Not to make any one individual suffer Anthony. Believe me when I tell you that when I was dating your mother before she reached her age of majority, I thought my balls were going to fall off they were so blue. It got to the point that every time I looked at her, I got a chub and had to run to the bathroom and rub one out. Not to mention the times that she hugged me & I shot off in my pants. I got to the point that I had to carry extra clothes just to be safe."
"Ewww Dad, that is so disgusting and disturbing, I don't think I'll ever get those mental images out of my head. Thanks," said Anthony while he pretended to fake vomit. All the rest of the Carlucci boys had their hands over their mouths trying to keep the laughter inside, but failing miserably.
The Alpha looked at the Franks boys and smiled devilishly at them and said, "Don't laugh; it happens to all of us. Once we meet our mate, our only thought is to be with them physically. Your dad was in the middle of a football game once standing in the huddle right in the middle of the stadium and was watching your mom cheer on the sidelines and got so hard that he could barely move. He limped off the field and told Coach that he had a cramp but couldn't take his eyes off your mom and ended up shooting a load in his cup." At this pronouncement, everyone started laughing, including Frank. He hung his head down, before he raised it to his Alpha and best friend and said, "Yeah, but I ran for 150 yards that game." This brought even more laughter from the assembled men.
The Alpha next looked at Joe's sons and said, "Don't worry; your father wasn't any better. One of his moments occurred during a basketball game, we were standing courtside right at the doorway thankfully, waiting for the cheerleaders to finish up their half-time routine. I look over at your dad and nudged Frank and we quickly moved in front of him to block him from the crowds view. Your dad was sporting this huge erection while he stared at your mom. As soon as we did that, he doubled over and came right there in front of a crowd of hundreds, Frank and I almost fell over laughing, while your dad waddled back down the hall to the locker room to change." Joe looked at Frank and his best friend and mirrored Frank's response, "Yeah, but I scored 32 points that game." By now all of the boys were doubled over in laughter.
"Anthony, we are telling you these stories to show you that we understand what you are going through and to show our love and support. The main difference is you have to wait three years before you fully claim Sophia, while we only had to wait a year or so. This is going to be difficult for you, but with planning and family help we hope to make things easier on you," said Frank.
"You will be allowed over to our house anytime, as long as at least two of her brothers are home and they will never leave you alone with her. This shouldn't be a problem since Sophia was never left alone with less then four of her brothers before if her mother or I wasn't home. Also you are NOT allowed upstairs for any reason, you must remain in the main floor family room, kitchen area and dining area. When you are in the game room, if you are here with the boys', that is ok, if you are with Sophia, you must again have at least two of her brothers with you. Any questions so far?" Frank asked.
"You may pick her up and drive her to school, again as long as two of her brothers accompany you. After school you generally have football or basketball practice and she has cheerleader practice which ends about an hour before yours does. Her mother or Aunt Annie always took turns picking the girls up, which will continue like always. You will be allowed to hold her hand during school hours and basically whenever you feel like it, remember during school hours there will be twelve boys keeping an eye on you plus Maria. Also the faculty at school will be made aware that you are mates and will be observing the two of you to make sure that you are following the rules. Behave yourself and we won't have to take any of these privileges away. I feel like your father and I have been pretty generous with all of this so far," Frank stated firmly.
"Do you have any questions or comments so far son," Carlo asked his son.
"Yeah dad, I want to start driving Sophia to school but according to the rules, I can't because my sports car is only a two seater," Anthony looked at Gianni and Marcus and asked them if they could come over and pick him up this way they would already have Sophia in their truck.
"Don't worry about that son, I'll call Vinnie at the Ford dealership tomorrow and arrange for you to get a new truck, one of the 4 x 4, extended cab F-150's. Since you will be driving Sophia around, her father and I will feel much better if it is a reliable all weather vehicle. We should be able to pick it up by Monday afternoon. You'll work out the payments by putting in a couple of extra hours every week in the store," stated Carlo.
"Before I forget," Frank said, "Your grades must stay at the grade point average that they are right now. I do not want either of you to fall behind in your school work, if your teachers notify us that your grades are slipping, privileges will be suspended until your grades come up. Your dad tells me that you are planning on attending the University of Maryland to study Business Administration after you graduate from South Mountain High School. I hope that you don't change your mind, you will need to keep those stores profitable to be able to afford my daughter and her shoe and pocketbook obsession." At the mention of Sophia and her shopping habits, all the men started laughing hysterically, except for Anthony who just looked bewildered.
"I hope that you like shopping Ant, Sophia spends every Saturday morning with Maria at the local malls and boutiques, and if you want to spend time with her, she'll expect you to be with her as well. Dad and Uncle Joe always made six of us accompany them and it is my least favorite thing to do, but with you there and being tortured along with the rest of us, it may not be so bad," Gianni started laughing and the rest of the boys laughed too.
"Be prepared to answer her questions too and help her pick out outfits," Gino said.
"Do these pants make my butt look big, are these shorts too short, is this shirt too tight across my chest, do these shoes make my ankles look fat, do these pants match this blouse," Sal volunteered in a high falsetto.
