My cell rings. Grandpa. I answer it. "I picked up the new retainer, damn but he looks like a smaller, younger Alfred" Grandpa Walt says softly. I laugh, and I tell Alfred. He smiles.

"He's got the same last name too, Claude, he's Edward Michael Featherstone" Grandpa says laughing. I tell Alfred, and he looks horrified. "Your son?" I ask. He's speechless. I hug him tightly, I sit him down at the kitchen table.

"Claude, he wants to speak to you" Grandpa says. "Put him on" I say, and I wonder how this is going to work out now. "Master Claude, I asked to go to you, I know you were raised by my real father" Edward says softly. "I wish to know of him, I know he won't talk to me, I have been told so, but I want to know him, and I know your background and I know you can understand" he says softly. "Would you talk to him if you could, Edward?" I ask. "I would love to" Edward says."If he's there, please, Master Claude" he begs. I turn to Alfred. He looks so scared now.

"Alfred, he knows, and he wants to know you, as much as I want to know Takeru, please, he needs to talk to you at least, you know he does" I beg him. Alfred nods. And he takes my phone. I walk off to give them privacy. But Alfred's weeping heavily and he looks proud.

I go into the dining room. Dad's smiling. "You look happy" he says. I sit and I explain all about Alfred's son, and the improbability of Alfred's son being my new retainer. Dad laughs. "He's a member of our family alright" Dad says laughing. "Claude, he needs to go meet his son, but you know he won't leave us long enough to go" Dad says. "You could order him?" I ask. "I've never given him a direct order in the past" Dad muses. "Dad, we both know he needs to, maybe if we had him come help me take my stuff out to California" I ask. "Send him out so they can meet, and have him come back in a day or so" Dad asks. "We can see, Dad" I say smiling. "We are quite a family, and you're right, Dad, this proves Alfred is a member of our family" I say laughing.

Alfred comes out and hands me my phone. He's smiling softly. "He wants to meet me, he just wants to know me, like you do Takeru, Claude, you were right" Alfred says. Alfred breaks down. "His mother told him about me, he loves his father, as he loves the one who raised him." Alfred says crying. I hug him. "He told me he loves the Badger who raised him and always will, but he loved me too, and wanted to know me" he says crying. "He's my retainer now, Alfred, what's more fitting, his Dad is with my Dad, and your son takes care of me" I tease him. Alfred smiles. "Grandpa says he's a smaller, younger you" I say stroking his head. Alfred smiles. "Come with me, help me move out West, meet him, talk to him, start to get to know him, Alfred, and then come back home" I tell him. "Could I go, Sir?" he asks Dad. "Alfred, I love you, you're just as much a member of this family as anyone" Dad says. "Of course you can go, I was going to insist you did, but I'm glad you want to go" Dad says softly. "We can get by, it'll just be me and Harry now anyway, Alfred" Dad says softly.

"Claude, he wants to get to know me" Alfred says. "I'm not surprised, you helped me to know I had to get to know my sire, so you know how important that is to a son" I say softly. "I love my Daddy, just as Edward loves his, but I have to know Takeru too, like Edward wants to know you" I say softly. Alfred smiles. "Master James, if you will permit me to I'd like to go to California with Claude on Thursday and come back on Sunday?"he asks. "Of course, Harry and I can handle taking care of ourselves, and you've been my loyal retainer for so long you've more than earned it" Dad says. And he stands and hugs Alfred. "You're family too, you helped me raise such good sons, and you mean as much to me as they do, my Fox" Dad says stroking Alfred's head.

I call Grandpa. "Alfred's coming with me on Thursday, he wants to meet his son" I say softly. "Edward is Alfred's boy?" he asks. "He is, and he wanted to come to me since he knew I'd been raised by his Daddy" I say softly. "Claude, it's so obvious when you do meet Edward, he's Alfred down to how he works, he's got this place stocked and he's a great cook, he fixed one heck of a lunch for Jerry, Buck, Sam and Oscar and I" Grandpa says. "Buck?" I ask him. "Jerry's cousin, the mute Tiger, I asked him to move in with us, he hated where he was, and he's such a joy to have around, Claude, I didn't think you'd mind" Grandpa says. "I'm fine, I was surprised that's all, Grandpa Walt" I say softly. "You'll love him, Claude, he's big and beautiful and so sweet natured, he's not bitter at all, and he's a great top" Grandpa says. "You let him fuck you?" I ask. "I had to, he's so sweet, and he was horny but he won't fuck Jerry" Grandpa says laughing. "Edward knows sign, I shouldn't have been surprised" Grandpa says laughing. "I'll bet he knows Japanese too" I say softly. "For Takeru, I asked him and he does" Grandpa says laughing. "I'll pick you guys up at the airport, Baby Lion" Grandpa says happily.

"Have you tried to bond Jerry yet?" I ask. "Not yet, I wanted to ask Buck, and thanks to Edward I know he wants me to, so I'm going to take Jerry out to a fancy restaurant tonight, and beg him to take me" Grandpa says softly. "He's smart enough to snap you up if he knows you want him" I say softly. "You think, Claude?" he asks." I do, and I'll be thrilled if he does, Grandpa, he'll love you so much" I say softly. "Let me know how it goes, I love you Grandpa, and I miss you" I say softly. "I miss my boy, and I"m glad you'll be here soon, Claude" Grandpa says tearing up. "It's the first time I've been away from you since we...." Grandpa says tearing up. "Grandpa, nothing in my life made me as happy as the day you came home to us" I say softly. "Except maybe the day I talked you into taking my virginity" I tease him. Grandpa's weeping gently now. "Claude, I love you, I always will, I love Jerry, and he told me he'd never interfere with how much we love each other" Grandpa says. "I'd have taken you, but you're my own flesh and blood, and I can't, and hell, I miss Rory too" Grandpa says. "I love you, Grandpa" I say softly. "Call Edward and let him know when to pick you up, I got him a cell phone already as he asked." Grandpa says softly. "I have to go now, Claude" he says crying now.

It's going to be an interesting life for sure in California.

I call Emil. And I tell him I will be there soon. "Could you start a week from today?" Emil asks. "I have your license here, and it'll only take a day to get you privileges at Demontfort University Hospital " Emil says. "Glad to" I say smiling. And I fill him in on all that has happened since last we talked. He laughs. "Got another Daddy, eh?" he says laughing. He's happy for me, and I note how thick his German accent is now. "Your accent is sure heavy now, you must be very happy, Emil" I tease him. "Claude, I"ve bonded, I never thought it would happen, he's a sweet natured Bengal Tiger, I met him when I took your Grandpa to lunch, he's a cousin of your Grandpa's Jerry, they brought him to lunch with them." Emil says. "I had given up, I'm getting old you know, I"m 46 now" Emil says. "Grandpa's gonna try to bond Jerry tonight,it's never too late" I tease Emil. "They are so much in love, I'd of thought they were already bonded" Emil says. "Grandpa Walt wanted to make sure I'd approve" I say smiling.

"Claude, my Willy is only a year older than you, but he's so sweet and he's a great bottom, he loves it when I fuck him hard like I get off on" Emil says. "I"m happy for you, Emil" I say softly. "Claude, it's why I want you to start as soon as you can, I want to not be tied up all hours, I want to spend as much time with my Tiger as I can" Emil says happily. "Fine with me, I have my retainer already getting things settled so I will be free" I say softly. "Thanks for understanding, Claude" Emil says. "I love you, Emil, I want you to be happy, and you sound ecstatic" I say happily. "I am, I was afraid I'd never find someone, and I have, and I'm happier than I"ve ever been" he says happily. "I'll call you on Monday and we can work out the details, sweet Walrus" I tell him. "I will be happy to see you again, Claude, I have been so proud of you, you've been a great protege and I'll be happy to have you with me" Emil says laughing.

I go up and work on packing. I pack everything except a few days worth of clothes. Alfred's got someone coming to ship it, it'll be there before I get to California.

I'm happy now, things are as ready as they can be for my new life. I will miss Dad and Harry a lot, but I know he'll be out with us eventually. It's going to be a long few days. Just get from Tuesday to Thursday somehow. I am excited to start my new life.

I work out the time difference and I decide to call Takeru. He is at his office and he answers quickly. "I am busy, but I can make a few moments always for my Lion son" he says happily. "I won't keep you long, Oto-Sama, I just felt I needed to hear your voice" I say softly. "My Lion son missed me" he says ecstatically. "I did, I know it's odd, we've not met face to face since I was 10 but I missed hearing my father's voice" I say softly. "Claude, my Claude, we are bonding as father and son already, my beloved Lion" he says softly. "I miss you as well, I have for so long, and it is stronger now" Takeru says. I update him. "I will call Alfred soon, I know how he feels, and as he helped me, I will see if I can help him as well" Takeru says joyously.

"Takeru, are you nervous about meeting me?" I ask. "I am a bit, I am more anxious though, I know of you, but I know I will cry a lot at first, you are proud to be mine, and I know I will be so proud of the Lion my son grew up to be" he says. "I'm sure I'll be crying too, I know a bit about you, but I want to know you so badly, I am looking forward to making love with you as well, Takeru" I say softly. "I cannot think of that, as I will get hard and stay that way for hours, my Claude" he says happily. I laugh. "Good omen for when you're here" I tease him. "Claude, I will be in late Friday night, and Yoshi wants to come on Monday, if you will let him" Takeru says. "I'll be happy to come and get you, and of course I want Yoshi here, will he bring his Tiger?" I ask. "He will, Daisuke is anxious to meet you" Takeru says. "I bet, I want to meet him too, I have to make sure he'll be good for my Onii-Chan" I say softly. "Claude he is a good and loving Tiger, our Yoshi is so happy now" Takeru says. "I miss him at home, but they have a nice home and are very happy" Takeru says. "I must go now, my son, I have a meeting now" Takeru says. "I love you, Oto-Sama" I say softly. 'I love my Lion son, and it means so much to me that you called me because you missed me" Takeru says happily. And he hangs up.

I lay out by the pool. I have so many who love me, yet I feel a bit lonely now. Time seems to drag along. After an hour or so, I decide to go visit Momma's grave and say my final goodbye to her, I somehow know I'm not coming back. California is my future, and I know it now. I go and I talk to her, and I tell her I hope she's proud of me, and that I'll do my best to always remember to be the Lion she raised me to be. I miss her, I always will, but I am proud of her. I tell her I understand why she never told me who my real father was, and I'm just glad to know now. And I tell her I love her, and I leave. I drive home slowly. I take a long way home, and I know though I have lived here all of my life, this isn't my home anymore.

I go home and I eat dinner and I go lay down. I'm tired and lonely and I have so much coming up I know I need to rest now.

About 11PM, Alfred comes in and he asks if I will let him sleep with me tonight. I kiss him, and we curl up in bed. I stroke his hair and I get him to open up about how he feels about meeting his son. He's excited, yet scared, and he's afraid Edward will be mad at him for staying out of his life. I tell Alfred not to worry, that if Edward is anything like me, he's just wanting to pick up and move forward and get to know his Daddy And I tell Alfred how excited I am to meet my Sire, my Takeru, and that even though I love Dad, and always will, I look forward to getting to know him.

"Claude, I'm so proud of you, you've grown into quite the Lion, and it's good to see how much you love me" he says and he kisses me deeply. "Love me, Alfred, show me your love now?" I beg him. And he gets on top of me And we kiss passionately and he fucks me slow and gentle, yet with great passion. I moan under him and we move well together, he's a magnificent lover. I put my legs around his waist and I pull him tighter to me. He growls softly. And we deep kiss. He growls loudly and he cums in me as I cum on his belly. He holds me and pants hard.

"Claude, I hate to ask, you've done so much for me already, but can you help me with Master James?" he asks softly. "I'd do anything for you, Alfred" I say softly. "I have met someone, and I held off, I could not see my future plainly, and I know now, we will go to California for January, and he has agreed to go with me, but the only other animal I was interested in, Master James was against" Alfred says softly. "I would bond him to me, but I can't unless Master James will approve" Alfred says softly. "Does he love you, Alfred?" I ask. "He does, Claude, we have been dating for a while, and I know he loves me as I love him" Alfred says.

"Who and what?" I ask. "He is a big Texas Longhorn Bull, and he is versatile as I am, and he's a gardener" Alfred says softly. "Who?" I ask. "Manuel Guerra" he says softly. 'He is a poor Mexican immigrant, and he is a good Bull, Claude" Alfred says softly. "Is he here legally?" I ask. "He is, Claude" Alfred says. "I'll call our lawyer and get him a Security Bond before I go, Alfred" I say softly. "You would do that for us?" he asks. "I would, I love you, and I want you to be happy" I say softly. "I'd like to meet him if I could, Alfred" I say smiling. Alfred nods. "I can get him here, he is not working this week" Alfred says. "Dad's probably asleep by now, yeah, do it, and I'll call Jacob and get it all started. I say softly. Alfred gets up and puts his shorts on. He runs off.

I pick up my phone and I call Jacob Martin. I explain what I want. He laughs. "I'll get it to Alfred by Wednesday afternoon, so he finally fell for someone" Jacob says laughing. "He did and he's bringing him to meet me, and he's so happy, his eyes lit up when he told me about Manuel" I say happily. Jacob laughs. "I'll fax it to them by 2PM, make sure he knows, Claude" Jacob says smiling. "I'd like to come and visit you, Jim told me you're going to go to California for good" he says. "I'd love to have you visit us, you gonna bring Alexi?" I ask. "Yeah, I love that Russian Lion so much" he says tenderly. "I'd love to have you both, consider yourself to have an open invitation to come, or maybe since Dad's moving the office you'll take the Legal department and come to live out there" I say softly. "He is moving CMK?" Jacob asks. "He doesn't want to be apart from me and Rory and we're going for good" I say. "I"ll talk to Jim, Alexi hates the heat here in the summer, he'll go, and I'd love to" he says happily. "Good, I"ll be happy to have you around again" I say happily. "Claude, thanks for telling me, and I'll get Alfred and his Manuel the Bond" he says. "I'll send you a check in the morning" I say softly.

I go down and get a Diet Pepsi. And I go back up to my room. I lay and watch TV. About thirty minutes later, I"m surprised to see a huge Bull standing in my doorway. He's big and he's beautiful. He's as big as Rory, 6'10" easily. He has Chocolate Brown fur, and big hands and big hooves. His deep Brown eyes are soft and liquid. His hair is darker Brown and he has a thick Brown Beard. His hoof and tail tufts are the same Brown as his hair. His horns curve upward at their ends and are pearly white. He's handsome, and he is too shy to speak. "You're Manuel I assume?" I ask. "I am, Sir" he says quietly. "I don't bite, Manuel, I'm on your side actually" I say softly. "I love Alfred, Sir, I will be good to him if I am allowed to take him" Manuel says shyly. "You do love him?" I ask. "I love him, and I adore him, and I know he loves me, I am a simple Bull, Sir, I am not as he is, I am not educated as well as he is." Manuel says softly. "Manuel, I could see the love in his eyes when he told me about you, I wanted to hear it from you, but I can see he's showing his usual good taste" I say smiling. "You approve of me for him?" he asks. "I do, you are beautiful and you are honest, you seem like a Bull of great integrity" I say softly. Manuel blushes. 'You are a pretty young Lion, Sir" he says smiling. "No, I"m not Sir, I am Claude to you" I say smiling. "Thank you, Claude, will you help us with his employer?" Manuel begs. "I will" I say softly. Manuel looks grateful.

Alfred comes in. "I knew you'd approve, Claude" Alfred says. I get up and put a robe on. I take Manuel by the hand. And we go downstairs. "By the way, Alfred, Jacob will have Manuel's Security Bond faxed to you by 2PM this afternoon" I say smiling. "You got me a Bond?" Manuel asks sounding a bit shook. "I will not let anyone take you from Alfred, not even the INS" I say smiling. Manuel hugs me tightly, and I can feel his big Bull dick pushing into my thigh.

I have them let me go into Dad's room alone. "Dad, we have to talk" I say softly. Dad's curled up with Harry. "What, Claude?" He asks. "Alfred, he has found someone he loves" I say softly. Dad looks surprised. "He went to you first?" Dad asks. "He was afraid, you were so rough on him when he brought it up with another potential mate" I say softly. "Claude, that guy was bad news, he was only looking to bond Alfred so he'd support him" Dad says. "I've talked to Manuel, and I think he's a good Bull, he obviously loves Alfred a great deal, and I know how Alfred loves him" I tell Dad. "I'm having Jacob get him a Security Bond, Dad" I say softly. "He's an immigrant" Dad asks looking at me darkly. "He's a Mexican Bull, Dad, and he's here legally according to Jacob, he's got a green card already" I say softly. "So he's not just wanting that" Dad muses. "He isn't" I say softly.

"Get Alfred please son" Dad says . I do. "I'll talk to him, Son" Dad says. "Take Manuel to your room and wait for us Claude" Alfred tells me. I nod.

I go and I explain to Manuel what's going on. Alfred comes out and whispers to Manuel. Manuel is grinning. And he picks me up and carries me back upstairs. "Alfred wants me to take you if you'll have me, he wants us to spend the night with you, your father has already approved of me for him" Manuel says grinning. "I get my Fox and I get to spend some time with such a beautiful young Lion" he says softly. "It was so good of you to help us, and to get me a Bond without us asking" he says. "I'd like to show my appreciation for what you have done" Manuel says smiling.

I pull off my robe. "You are truly beautiful" Manuel says hotly. He pulls off his overalls. "You are a stunning Bull, Manuel, Alfred always did have such good taste" I say smiling. His dick is rock hard and huge. He's not quite as big as Grandpa. But not that much smaller either. He holds me tightly to him and he deep kisses me. And he's petting me all over. I growl passionately to feel his hands on me. "You are a passionate little one" he says and he kisses me again. His touch is setting my blood on fire. He's good. And he picks me up and lays me on the bed. "May I have you, will you give yourself to this humble Bull, who wants you so much" he says softly. I kiss him. "Please, take me, I want you badly now" I moan. He kisses me gently and he slides that huge Bull dick in me. I growl and twist under him. "You are hot just to have me inside of you" he says proudly. "You are..." I moan and I lose it. He's moving slowly but he's deep dicking me, with long slow deep strokes. I put my arms around his thick neck, and I wrap my legs around his waist. "You do want me, you are pulling me deeper inside of you" he says happily. "I do" I moan, and then I stop being able to make words. "I could not want a more responsive lover" he says nuzzling my neck. "You are a passionate and beautiful young Lion" he says speeding up in me a bit. I can't speak, I'm just making incoherent grunts. "You are so hot for this Bull" he says kissing me tenderly.

I Kick and I growl and I cum on his belly. He smiles. "Hot little Lion, squeezes tightly, but I am not ready to be done in you, my beautiful young Lion" he says passionately. And he strokes my mane. I weep from his passion. "Alfred does the same thing when I take him, I feel much for you, and I want you to want me, I know you are going away, but Alfred says we will be joining you soon, and I want you to want me, but you already do" Manuel says. "I care for you, but I love my Alfred" Manuel says when I look into his eyes a bit puzzled. I kiss him. And he keeps making love to me. I've never experienced anything like him.

Alfred comes in and sits on the bed. He strips. "I want him to get you warmed up, Claude, we both want to spend the night making love to you" Alfred says. "What about you two bonding?"I ask catching my breath. "Claude, we did tonight, I wanted to wait but my Manuel begged me to take him, and when you said you'd help us, we couldn't help it, we fucked and bonded." Alfred says shyly. "I love how much you trust me" I tease him. "I knew you would like Manuel, and you love me, I knew you could see how we loved each other." Alfred says smiling. "I did, and I can see why, he's a rare Bull, beautiful, honest and loving' I say growling as Manuel has resumed his deep dicking. "I am happy you approve of me for him" Manuel says deep kissing me. He and Alfred kiss and Manuel bellows and I feel him gushing his thick Bull cum into me.

We do spend the night, fucking in all combinations. I take Alfred's ass at one point and Manuel pushes right up me and he fucks me passionately. I have never cum like I do when I cum inside of Alfred with Manuel's big dick up me. We doze off eventually Manuel is holding Alfred while I hold him from the other side. When I wake in the morning they are both gone.

Alfred is in the kitchen and Manuel is moving his things into the house. I kiss Alfred. "I love you, I wish I had of had you like that before now" I tease him. "Master James is happy for me, he fussed a bit because I went to you first, but he's happy now after he talked to Manuel." Alfred says smiling. "I had to help, I didn't want you lonely because I was gone either, Alfred" I say smiling. "Claude, he's everything I'd always prayed to get" Alfred says grinning. 'I can see that, he's certainly an amazing lover" I say grinning. Manuel walks into the kitchen and he kisses us both. "You were magnificent" he says taking me into his arms. "You are almost as good as my Alfred" he says kissing me deeply. He lets go of me, and he hugs Alfred tightly, and he kisses him with a lot of fire and passion. I sigh, I'm kind of envious, I hadn't much thought of it, but I had not dated much. I was happy with Grandpa and Rory keeping me well fucked. But Rory's gone, and Grandpa will hopefully be bonded. So I'm going to have to learn to date among many other things to adapt to.

I was so busy getting through school and becoming a Doctor that I hadn't thought of getting a mate. Hell, I wasn't even aware that I wanted one. But I feel a bit lonely now. And I think about Jerry's cousin. I kind of wonder what he looks like. And I immediately think of all I have to do yet and I forget him for the moment.

I go out and eat breakfast. Dad's in a really good mood. He and Harry are very cuddly this morning. And it makes me feel more alone now.

I'm a bit sad. But I decide to go shopping. I could use some more suits and ties and such for the office.. So I go buy some. I buy a dozen suits, Three piece mostly. I like wearing the vest with the pants and not always the suit jacket. I'll wear the jackets but if I'm hanging around the office, I'll wear just the vest and the pants. It's a good look for me, I've been told I look sexy, especially with the shirt sleeves rolled up a bit. I buy a big garment bag to bring them with me on the plane.

I am happy out and about it seems. I go have a nice lunch. And I just wander the Mall a bit, after I've put my suits in the trunk. I wonder if I should do something with my car before I go. But then again, Alfred will deal with it.

I'm sitting in the atrium and my cell rings. Grandpa? He's excited. "Claude, Jerry and I bonded last night" he says happily. "Congrats, Grandpa" I say happily. And he tells me all about it, and I'm happy for him, but sad for myself. "Claude, he'll still let me fuck you, don't be sad" Grandpa says. "I'm not sad, I never thought about having a mate, but now that I'm done with school I'm feeling lonely, you're gone, Rory's gone, Alfred got his Bull and I'm just feeling sorry for myself, Granddad" I say softly. "Ignore it" I say softly. "No, babe, I can tell, you are very sad" He says gently. "I know, I am well aware of how my life has been, but I was so busy with school and you and Rory kept me happy in bed, but I have barely dated at all, and I hope I can sort it out and maybe one day find a mate, I've got so much to do soon, and I am happy, things are quiet today and I'm feeling a bit lonely" I say softly. "It'll pass, Papa Grizzly" I say softly. Grandpa laughs. "How did you know?" he asks. "Know what" I say. "That's what Jerry calls me now" Granddad says happily. "He's loved you so much for a long time now" I say softly. "I know, he told me, he's been hoping I'd bond him for a long time now" Grandpa says happily. "I told him, that you'd asked me to if I could, and he's very grateful to you now" Granddad says happily. "I 'm happy for you both, really I am, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself now" I say. "I'll talk to you later" I say and I hang up.

I wander aimlessly around the mall going in and out of stores. And I see a big Grizzly and he's upset at a drug store clerk. He's trying to explain something to her in sign. I walk up and I sign to him to ask if he needs help. He's grateful. And he explains to me what he needs. I talk to the girl for him. He can hear but not talk apparently. He gets his meds filled and he hugs me and he thanks me effusively in sign language. I think of Buck, and I wonder if he feels this frustrated all of the time. The clerk thanks me too. "He was getting so frustrated, but I don't know sign and I couldn't find a pad for him to write his message on" she says sadly. "He's got what he needs now" I say softly. I don't even know this Buck Wilson, and I feel for him already. I am not sure why. Hell I've not met him, nor do I know what he looks like even. Grandpa says he's a big White Bengal Tiger, and I know what Grandpa thinks of as big. He has to be pretty close to Grandpa's size. Grandpa called him handsome too. I have to wonder now.

I go to a movie and I kill a few hours. I realize now, I'm just winding down my old life waiting for my new one to begin. Killing time. And I know I'll miss Alfred and Dad and Harry, hell, I got to liking Manuel too. But my real life is thousands of miles away in Sacramento now. Grandpa is there and my office is there waiting for me. I am not going to miss Auburn, Alabama, nor really the home I grew up in. My Daddy and my Papa Harry, and Alfred and Manuel will be coming out to be with me and Rory and Grandpa, Jacob and Alexi too. Those I'd most miss will be with me eventually.

I am sitting in a fast food kiosk, eating dinner. And I realize I had to get away from home, and I am a bit embarrassed by that. I finish eating and I drive home.

Dad's curious as to where I've been. He knew I'd been gone all day, Alfred told him. "Dad, I am not sure, I think I"m going to miss you and Harry and Alfred, and I had to get out, maybe ease my pains." I tell him. I go out and I bring my new suits in and I hang them up. I'll take them with me tomorrow.

Manuel knocks on the door. I ask him in. "I hate to ask, but I need help, Claude" he says. "Did you get your bond?" I ask. "I did, thank you, mi amo" he says softly. "I can stay with my Fox forever now" he says and he looks so grateful. "What can I do for such a sweet, and loving Bull?" I ask . "I just got him, and I know Alfred will be stressed, I wish to go with you to California, but Alfred doesn't want me to go" he says sadly. "Did he say why?" I ask. "He's so nervous, mi amo, he is scared, he needs me but he can't see that, Claude" Manuel says tearing up. "You love him so much, he's hurting and he won't let you help" I say stroking the fur on the side of his face. Manuel nods. "I'll talk to him, Manuel, he's stubborn but we have always listened to one another" I say softly. "Thank you, Claude" he says holding my paw tightly.

"Manuel, you're a good Bull, and I told you I was in your corner, I'll go talk to Alfred for you, I'll tell him I think he really needs to consider taking you, and I won't tell him you came to me" I say kissing him. He looks really grateful. "Wait a bit and then go to him, give me a bit of time to talk to him" I say softly. He nods, and he's tearing up. He really loves Alfred so much. He's quite a Bull.

I go to the kitchen. Alfred looks at me oddly. "Fox Daddy, are you packed for tomorrow?" I ask. "Mostly, Claude" he says softly. "Are you scared?" I ask. "I am, very much so" Alfred says. "Are you taking Manuel?" I ask. "No, I am going to be too upset, and I want to get to know Edward before I let him meet my mate" Alfred says sadly. I hug him. "If it were me, I'd need the love of my life at my side, Alfred, he'll support you and love you, and you know you need him" I say softly. Alfred hugs me tightly. "You wouldn't mind?" he asks quietly. "He's your mate, you need him, I don't mind, you're going to fly out with me, and unless Dad needs Eagle One you'll fly back on it" I say softly. "If he does, I'll be happy to pay for a flight for both of you, Alfred, I love you, I'll do anything for you, and Manuel" I say softly. "I was so happy, you got him a Citizenship Bond, Claude" Alfred says. "I want you two together, Alfred," I say. "I don't want him to be pulled away from you, he's quite a Bull, and I'm proud of you for having the good sense to choose him" I say hugging him.

"Will he go?" Alfred asks. "Go talk to him Alfred, I'll finish cleaning the kitchen for you, go find your Bull, let him comfort you, and he'll go with you, he loves you too much to not help you if you need his help" I say stroking his hair. Alfred kisses me and runs off. And I finish the clean up. Alfred taught me how to cook and clean. I can but I'm happier having someone else do it, but this is different. Alfred trusts me and he really needs his Manuel now.

I watch a couple of old movies on TV before I go to bed. On the stairs as I'm going up to bed, Manuel hugs me tightly. "He begged me to come, Claude, he opened up and he cried, he told me all, and I held him and comforted him, he told me he could never live without me, mi amo" Manuel says kissing me gently. "I'm glad, you'll be great for him and to him, he's kept so much in for so long, it's that English reserve, you'll have to fight it at times" I say softly. "I know" Manuel says softly. "Tell him I want to leave earlier than we'd planned to, I"ll let Grandpa know, but I want to be out of here for 10 AM." I tell Manuel. He kisses me and runs off to his Fox. I'm really impressed with our Mexican Bull now. I tear up a bit. I'm envious of Alfred.

I know one thing for sure now. When I find a mate, I want one just like Manuel, masculine, loving and who's willing to give his whole heart to me. Big and well hung like our Mexican Bull would be good too. I go to bed. And I sleep fitfully. I wake up at 4AM sweaty and shaking. I had a dream, about Buck, this is odd, I don't even know him, but we were making love in a big field of flowers, and he was a magnificent lover. I have to figure out why he's on my mind so much of late. I turn my TV on, and I put it on an old movie, an old romantic comedy. One of those 'will they or won't they' types. And I fall asleep, and I dream of that big mute White Bengal Tiger again. He's on his knees in front of me, signing to me that he'll love me forever and never leave me if I'll just take him to me. And it seems so real, as I can smell the flowers and feel the gentle breezes blowing through my mane. I wake long enough to turn the TV off and I fall back to sleep. When I wake up I know I have to figure this out, he's on my mind too much for it not to be some kind of sign. I get up and shower. And I dress casually. And I put all of my stuff in a suitcase and I take my stuff down to the trunk of my car. Harry's going to take us to the airport. He wants to keep and use my car. He likes it a lot, as much as I do.

I go to breakfast. Dad's sad. I hug him. "I'll miss you boy" he says softly. "Dad, I'll miss you too, I hope you'll come out frequently, I can't be away from my Daddy too long" I say kissing him. Dad smiles. "Takeru told me he's coming this weekend, and Harry and I will come out next weekend, Claude" Dad says softly. "I'll be happy to see you, Emil wants me to start work next Wednesday, so I'll need to have my Daddy around" I say smiling. I hug him. "Dad, my love for you will still reach you here, "I say gently. "If you love Takeru all of the way to Tokyo, Alabama's no where near that far" Dad says smiling. "He talked to me last night, we had a long talk, Claude" Dad says. "He loves you, and we will get together, both of your Daddies soon, but he wants a few months alone with you, before we both visit you" Dad says. "How do you feel about that?" I ask. "I can understand, he's so much like me in some ways, Claude, I'd be the same way" Dad says. "I was lucky, I had you all along, I can be generous here, he apologized that we fought, he didn't apologize for fighting so hard to get you, he doesn't need to" Dad says. "He knows that I fought just as hard to keep you, and we want to be friends again, we're moving that way" Dad adds. I kiss him. 'If we fight the only one who'll be hurt is our Claude, and I know now, you are our Claude, you love me and you love him" Dad says hugging me. I nod.

A more emotional start to what will be a hectic day that I'd hoped for. Time is passing quickly and when Alfred and Manuel have their things in the trunk. Harry takes us to the airport. I hug him. "I know you will, but take good care of Dad for me" I say hugging and kissing him. "I will, I love him, and I love you, I'm proud of you, Claude" he says hugging me. "I'll miss you Harry, but you can come out when you want, with or without Dad" I say. "Papa Harry, I"ll miss you a lot" I say hugging him. He smiles. 'You've never called me that before" he says softly. "It's how I think of you, you've always been there for me and Rory, and we love you a lot" I say softly. Harry kisses me goodbye and he's got a tear in his eye. I'll miss him too.

We go to the plane, and load our baggage. And soon we're in the air. It's an uneventful five hour flight. I doze off and I wake from a dream. Buck's making love to me, and he's a wonderful lover. Again I am amazed at how vivid the dream is. I can even taste his lips as we kiss. And I wonder. I've had flashes of things in the past that come true at a future time. Mom did too. But she never told me anything about it. Could this be a vision of my future? God, I hope so, if Buck is like he is in my dreams, he's all I've ever wanted in a male. Big, sexy looking, hung, and tender hearted. I'm kind of anxious to meet him now.

Alfred and Manuel are curled up for most of the flight. Alfred's something I've rarely seen him be. He's nervous as Hell. Not that I can't relate. I get really excited when we land in Sacramento. I am happy. I feel I've finally come home somehow. Grandpa's here to meet us, and he has Jerry with him. I hug them both tightly. Jerry's really happy now. And Grandpa, well, Grandpa's ecstatic to see me and he's so joyous. And then Jerry introduces me to his cousin Buck Wilson. I am totally speechless. when I see him. He looks exactly like he did in my dream. He's a truly beautiful White Bengal Tiger. His scent is the same and those eyes. So beautiful of an Amber color and so soulful.

Buck is Rory's height, he's 6'10" got to be 300 pounds and well built. His amber eyes are shining and his body is wide and muscular. He has big paws and foot paws. His forepaws look just like mine. He's got a barrel chest like Grandpa's. In fact he almost looks like he was Grandpa's son by a White Bengal tiger. His white fur is sleek and thick and the black stripes look hot. He has short cropped Black hair and a Black goatee. His face is very expressive, and he's looking at me the same way I'm looking at him. He's interested for sure. But he seems a bit shy. When I smiled at him at first, he blushed so hard. And he seemed flustered.

I try to get him into a conversation in sign on the way home, and he's answering my questions but not saying anything else. "Claude, he's a bit shy with new animals" Jerry says. "He's happy that you know sign, it's helped that Edward does" Jerry says. "He wanted to stay home, and meet you in a more comfortable place" Grandpa tells Alfred. Alfred nods. I introduce Manuel to Grandpa. "You got yourself a nice big Bull there, Alfred" Grandpa says smiling. Manuel smiles. He's happy, Alfred's holding on to him tightly. His love for his Fox is shining from his eyes.

We get home, and I"m happy. We all carry the luggage in. And I take mine to my bedroom, and I start putting things up. I know Edward will finish, but I want him to have time with Alfred.

There is a knock at my door. And there is a massive older Bull standing in the doorway. He almost fills the door frame. "I"m Sam Montoya, and I wanted to thank you for letting us move in sight unseen" he says in a sexy, Spanish accented voice. Sam is huge built. Deep blue eyes, and beautiful ivory horns. He has Dark Brown fur with black hair and his goatee, and hoof and tail tufts are black too. But fascinatingly, they have a thick white stripe running down their centers. It makes him so hot. He's so hot I can't speak for a minute and I know I'm staring at him. He smiles at me. "Quiet aren't you?" he asks laughing."I'm so sorry, Sam was it?" I ask. "I was rendered speechless by you" I say softly. Sam grins. "I can tell, you were practically drooling" He says laughing. I blush.

Sam strides over to me. And he looks into my eyes. I blush. "You're hot for me" he says smiling. I nod, as I can't speak with those blue eyes boring into me. "I'd love to have you, if you want me, you're a truly beautiful young Lion, Claude" Sam says softly and very seductively. I am still speechless. He pulls me to him and he hugs me tightly. "Will you let me make love to you, pretty Lion?" he asks softly "Please" I manage to squeak out. Sam laughs, and it's a deep, hearty sexy laugh. He kisses me and to my surprise I don't faint. I am hotter for him now though.

"Claude, Oscar and I are very much in love, but I feel something for you already, you're a good Lion, Walt thinks the world of you," Sam says smiling. I nod. He lays me on the bed and he strips me. "You are beautiful" he says quietly. And he strips. And he's gorgeous. Solidly built, and massively hung. He's as big as Grandpa. He lays on top of me and we kiss passionately. We get hotter for each other. And we aren't as much fucking as rutting for one another. He'll fuck me aggressively but somehow tenderly for the rest of the afternoon. Stopping only when Edward calls dinner. "I get so hungry after such good sex" he says stroking my mane, which is soaked from his musky sexual sweat. "Go eat, sexy Bull, I"ll shower and come out" I say softly . He grabs my paw. "Will you fuck me when I want you? he asks firmly. "Oscar won't care" Sam says smiling. "I will, just ask me" I say smiling. "I will, count on it, I haven't had sex that hot in years" Sam says kissing me. He gets up and dressed and leaves. I reluctantly go shower. I love having his hot musky Bull scent on me from his sweat. I wonder though how things are with Alfred and Edward now. I go shower quickly and I go out. Alfred's not at the table with us nor is Manuel. I go into the kitchen and he's sitting at the kitchen table with Manuel and he and Edward are talking, but I see Edward has Alfred's hand and is holding it tightly. I introduce myself to Edward and welcome him to my service. He smiles. "Claude, thank you, I had hoped to just hear of my father, and you brought him to see me, so we could meet" Edward says happily. And they are so much alike it's not funny.

"Claude, I am happy now, he is all I could have hoped for, and he'll be to you as I am to Master James" Alfred says smiling. Manuel is happy too, he's not letting go of his Alfred.

"Master Claude, I need your help" Edward says. "Anything' I say smiling. "I ...I would like..." he says and stops. "Claude, Edward has someone he'd like to bring here, he loves him and he thinks they'll bond" Alfred says softly. "Who?" I ask Edward. "My Bernard, he's a Bull not as big as Manuel here,but we dated and I had to leave, I could not fully explain, but I have spoken to him, and he'd come if I could have him here" Edward says. "I would not have asked. but Father told me how you helped him get his Bull, and I'd hoped you'd allow him to bond me and keep him here with me"Edward says shyly. "So your family likes Bulls" I tease Alfred. Manuel grins. "We do" Edward says shyly. "Alfred, you know the drill, get him to agree, and use the house card I have for Edward and bring him over as soon as you can" I tell him. Edward is grinning. I tousle Edward's hair. "You should never be kept away from the one you really love, I"ll be happy to have him here, just as happy as I was to have Alfred get his Manuel" I say smiling. "I will, Claude" Alfred says. "He'll be happy, and he'll be happier knowing me Dad approves" Edward says ecstatically. "You know how long I had to wait to get Alfred that way, to let his reserve drop when he was happy" I tease Edward. "And I see you can call me Claude, Alfred couldn't until I was leaving" I tease him. Edward laughs. And he stands and hugs me tightly. "I am glad to be here, Master Claude, Grandfather Featherstone says my life's work is to tend to you and your little family" Edward says. "I asked for you, and he told me I was already assigned to you" Edward says happily.

Alfred grabs my paw. "Claude, we have to talk to you seriously now" he says. Edward nods. "I'm intrigued" I say smiling. "Claude, you've been having dreams about Master Buck" Edward says, not a question, but a statement. "I have" I say softly. I feel exposed now. But I should be used to it, as Alfred always knew things, no surprise that Edward does too. "He is in love with you, he fell for you at the airport, Master Claude" Alfred says softly. "And you've been dreaming of him, and he's popped into your mind from time to time from out of nowhere" Edward says. I nod. "You love him, Master Claude" Edward says firmly. "Do I?" I ask. Alfred smiles. "You do, Claude, I could see it in your eyes when you first saw him, you recognized him from your dreams, you fell for him too" Alfred says smiling. "Then why wouldn't he talk to me on the way here" I ask. "He's afraid, he loves you, but he is mute, and he fears you'll reject him as others have, and he was poisoned by his last lover, so he's very scared Master Claude" Edward says softly. "I don't care, and I know sign" I say softly. "I know, Master Claude, you love him and you totally accept him for how he is, which is exactly what he needs, but he's been so badly hurt by the only one who he loved and he needs time to heal" Alfred says gently. "He knows he loves you, and he's scared, but he's trying to work past his fears, Claude" Edward says stroking my mane. "But you love him, and he is your predestined mate" Alfred adds.

And damn it, they're right, and I know it now. I love that big White Tiger, even though I was so hot for Sam, it pales in comparison to how I feel for my Tiger. "Claude, you must wait a bit, he has to sort his feelings out, be kind to him, but try not to let on how much you care, he couldn't handle it, and Edward and I will tell you when you can go to him, and try to bond him, be patient, Claude" Alfred says softly, and he takes my paw. I weep. "I"ve been so lonely the last few days" I say crying. "You knew he was for you, and you could not be so far away from him without a crushing loneliness, Claude" Edward says gently. "How did I know?" I ask. "You are as your Mother was, Martha would get flashes of things, almost a precognition, different from how Edward and I know things" Alfred says. "I do?" I ask. "You have, I've seen it in you since you were a young cub, you'd know what was going to happen, you'd not admit to it, you'd say 'I just knew that would happen' and I'd know you'd seen it in your mind" Alfred says softly. "Just keep remembering he is your predestined mate, Claude, he can't help but come to you eventually" Edward says quietly.. "And I have to wait for him, why can't I just go to him and beg him to take me to him?" I ask. "He's scared, he'll run from you, Master Claude" Edward says softly. "He was badly hurt, mentally and physically by how his last relationship ended, and he lost his ability to speak" Alfred says softly. "How long will I have to wait for him?"I ask feeling anguished. "Not long, he needs to see how you are, he'll see soon how loving you are, and just be kind to him, don't let him know you love him, he has to come to you" Edward says. I put my head on the table and moan. I hurt to not feel his love for me. It makes me feel empty inside.

"Why is it never easy for me, Alfred?" I ask. "You feel so much, you love so completely when you love, you love so many of us, and you have no one to smooth the way for you like you do for us" Alfred says stroking my mane. "It's why we decided we had to intervene, this is all we can do for you, but you've done so much for us, we had to" Edward says smiling. "You'll know when he's ready to accept me" I say softly. "We will, Master Claude" Edward says. "I know to trust you, I trust Alfred and I will you too, Edward" I say softly. I stand up. "Alfred, talk to his Bull, get Bernard here as soon as you can" I say softly. And I go eat. Just great, I'm home now, and I was happy. I had such great sex from Sam, and now I'm feeling as lost and lonely as I did in Alabama. I go out onto my patio. And I sit and look at the stars, and I feel comforted somehow. I pray that I don't have to wait too long for Buck if he is my predestined mate. And I go in.

I go to bed. And I lay and watch TV a while. I get up and get a Diet Pepsi from the refrigerator. And as I walk back to my bedroom, I can hear Sam and Oscar loudly making love, and Grandpa and Jerry and Alfred and Manuel too. I feel so alone now. And to make it worse I run right smack into Buck. He looks at me, and I can tell he's trying to decide whether to talk to me. He does look rather torn inside.

"I understand from Grandpa that you do hear, you just can't speak" I ask him. He nods. "I took a hearing impairment assistance course, I read lips too, Buck" I say softly. He smiles at me. And he mouths words to me. I repeat back what he said. He's grinning. He signs to me. "You got it" he tells me. "One thing you need to know about me, Buck, is that I never lie, I'm no good at it, so I will never lie to you or anyone" I say firmly. He smiles at me. His smile is so sexy. I want to grab him and kiss him, but I fight the urge hard. I'm fighting tears too. I can smell his musk and I can scent his high level of pheromones, he is upset and more agitated then he'd appear. And I can smell a high level of testosterone. He's hot for me too. And I'm oddly comforted by that. Right now, I'd trade all of my millions to be Telepathic for just five minutes. Let him see in my mind how much I love him, and see how I would cherish him, and be all to him that he wanted me to be. And that I'd die before I would hurt him, or allow him to be hurt at all. But I know I can't. I want him so badly I can hardly think. I know my tail is thrashing now, but I concentrate hard to stop it. And it does stop. Just the very tip where my tail tuft is is twitching now.

But I know if Edward and Alfred took the effort to tell me I have to listen. And I smile at him. He takes my paw and he pulls me to the living room and sits me on the couch.

He signs to me, he's asking me about my previous love life. "I've never had a mate or a boyfriend, I"ve slept with a lot of guys, my Grandpa especially and my half brother and a few others, but I'm new at relationships" I tell him. "You know what happened to me, I assume" he signs to me. "I do, and I'm so sorry it happened to you" I tell him. He's agitated openly now. "No pity" he signs quickly. "I don't pity you, Buck, through no fault of your own you were damaged, and you seem to be coping well" I say softly. He nods. And he smiles at me again. "You understand me" he signs quickly. "I seem to" I say smiling. This is agony, to be this close to him, to have his scent in my nostrils, and to love him and want him so much, and not be able to let it show at all. I have to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from crying openly. I've not hurt this bad since Mom died.

And he asks me a few other questions about my life. And I end up explaining about finding out who my real father is and that Takeru is coming this Friday to get to know me. He looks a bit sad. "Must hurt a bit, you love the Lion who raised you too" he signs. "I do, he'll always be my Daddy, but I have my biological father too, we'll work out a good relationship, he's an incredible Bear, and I love him already" I say softly. He nods. Edward looks in on us. He shakes his head no at me. I stand up. "I"ve had a long day Buck, I need to go to bed now" I say softly. He takes my paw and he squeezes it. "I like you too, Buck, and I'm glad Grandpa invited you to live with us" I say kindly. He smiles at me again. He really is a happy soul, especially considering what he's been through. At least he let me know he likes me, that's something. My heart is breaking as I go up the stairs. Damn this! I fight the urge to run to him, and beg him to be mine forever. And I look back into the living room. And the sadness in Buck's eyes mirrors mine. "Why did I look back? I ask myself. And I"m really pissed at myself for the moment.

I go to bed. And I'm restless. I turn the TV on, yet I can still hear Sam and Oscar, as well as Grandpa and Jerry fucking hard. I know Grandpa, in this mood he'll be at Jerry's ass all night. Sam's so much like him I have to wonder if he will be fucking his Oscar all night too. I hate my enhanced senses sometimes. I feel so alone now. If they weren't busy with their mates, I 'd get Grandpa or Sam to spend the night fucking me, and I know I'd feel better. And to know my predestined mate is here, and only a few rooms away, and yet I can't have him with me, makes me break into tears. I cry myself to sleep.
