Arriving at the floor of the courtroom they all exited the elevator and walked inside the courtroom. Derek took his position with his lawyer at the front table at the right. Where his soon to be father took the other.
For the next fifteen minutes both lawyers chatted with the person they resided with. Four minutes later, the front doors open to reveal the judge and two security guards that took a place on both sides of the judge.
From the aura Derek felt from the judge he could tell that this man was an alpha like his late mother and father the guards omegas. But what kind of creature the three were he couldn't make out since he hasn't had his first shift. Regaining his composure he, Alexander and the lawyers stood up as the judge finished sitting down.
"All rise for the honorable Judge Stevens for the adoption case of Derek Hale to be adopted by Alexander Drason?"
"It has come to my attention that one Derek Hale five years ago lost his family who were murdered by the Calavera's who now are in prison for life and was temporally in a orphanage before he ran away to protect the orphanage and dropped out of school as well to protect the school as well am I correct?
"Yes your honor, that is correct. My client Derek Hale admitted this one night while eating dinner with the lord and has since lived with him for nearly a week. After the lord found him at death door from living on the streets for so long with little food or shelter."
"From what I am hearing is that Mr. Hale has food, housing, and schooling that will be provided by the defendant?"
"That is correct your honor. The defendant has already taken measures with setting him up with a trust fund account prior to the rescue, also assigned a tutor as well, and lastly has assigned a personal servant/bodyguard for the rest of his life."
"For the nature that his family was taken from him at a young age and will be a target for the rest of his life. The lord has assured him that he has nothing to fear, none will ever come to harm him whilst he lives and thereafter."
"Great! But is there anything that the child himself would like to say?"
"Yes, your honor, will you please allow it?"
"Go ahead Mr. Hale!"
"When I first met the defendant Alexander Drason he offered to adopt me but I refused. Only because I was afraid for his safety and his staff's safety because of what happened in my past. So for the next near four months he came to check up on me on a regular basis.
Even going as far as giving me his leftover food from the bar daily so I will have at least some resemblance of food. And as my lawyer mentioned four nights ago when Mr. Drason made his routine visit to the bar; he found me unconscious and barely breathing.
At the risk of his own safety he shifted into his bipedal form and rushed me back to his mansion. Where he tended to me and kept watch over me for thirty-two hours. Feeding me when I woke the following morning and providing me clothes and a bed as well. I have no doubts that he will be a great father even though his health is failing."
"It also says here that the defendant has signed all rights, wealth, knowledge he attained throughout the decades over to Mr. Hale at his death?"
"That is correct your honor. As you're well aware my health is quickly failing me and I don't have long left to live. For the time being I will instruct Mr. Hale the best that I can with the time that I have left."
"Then I see no reason to further delay the adoption. I hereby approve Mr. Drason's adoption of Mr. Hale that is if he accepts that is?"
"I do your honor."
"Then if you both would come forward and seal this adoption by signing the form with your blood?"
Both Alexander and Derek walk up to the judges stand. Alexander extended a claw and then lightly pricked Derek's right pointer finger and did the same to himself. Both placed their pricked finger on the line they were to sign at and wrote their names.
"Without future adieu you are now officially Derek Hale Drason now."
"Thank you, your honor?"
"Anytime! This court is adjourned. Would the next case come in please?"
As the four were leaving the courtroom they watched the next case walking in. Derek then recognized the boy as an old classmate that he hadn't seen in years.
"Fredrick is that you?"
"Yes, who is asking?"
"Me."
Frederick looks around his eyes finally landing on a boy the same age as him. Who seemed strikingly familiar but could remember from where but then it hit him.
"Derek is that you?"
"Yes old pal for a long time."
"Yes it has. The last time I saw you was when you ran away from the orphanage. What are you doing here bro?"
"Well I just recently got adopted."
"Wow small world I am getting my adoption finalized as well. What are the odds of meeting up here after all these years?"
"Yeah really. Well it was nice seeing you again bro. If you want to ever hangout or just chat just call the Drason residence okay?"
"No problem bro and I will the next time I get a chance too see you later man."
"See ya later."
After Derek and Fredrick caught up they parted ways after a quick hug. Running to catch up with the others eventually catching up with them at the elevator.
"So who was that son?"
"An old friend from the orphanage and classmate from school."
"Oh what are the odds of meeting him here after all these years."
"That is exactly what he said. I did invite him to call your residence later. I hope that was okay father?"
"My boy, yes it is. The mansion is your home now, call on or invite over anyone you like within reason that is."
"Thanks father."
"Anytime my boy now how about we go to a lavious restaurant for an early dinner before the full moon tonight?"
"Yes please, I have been really hungry as of late I am not sure why."
At the mention of extra hungriness that made Alexander wonder if he could be shifting early. Because usually before the first shift a new werewolf stocks up on calories like an omega does when they go into heat.
This inclination worried Alexander but remembered that the restaurant that they are going to has a basement for werecreatures to shift in since the owner and family are werecreatures. If it does happen early there is a good possibility that they will be just fine since the owner is an old friend of the Hale and Drason families.
Putting the thought aside realizing that in his thinking they had arrived at the limo. Hopping in the back while Drake hopped in front and started it up driving away from the courthouse and to the restaurant. Thirty minutes later, the limo arrived at the restaurant. Pulling in the valet parking lane then the valet opened the back door to let out the Drasons.
"Welcome Mr. Drason it is always a pleasure to have you at the Moses Fiends Buffet."
"Thanks Podrick. Is my usual table ready for me?"
"As always my lord."
"Good."
Both Derek and Alexander followed Podrick to their table in the back.
"Is there anything special tonight my lord?"
"Yes I will have a gin and tonic plus a pitcher of bud and for my son he will have a pepsi."
"Right away sir!"
The valet left to tell the bar their drink orders and then went back outside. Moments later Drake walked inside over to their tame and put on a brave face standing guard. Seconds later a waitress came over with their drink orders.
"Is there anything else I can do for you my lord Drason?"
"Yes we will take the never ending steak and shrimp rare with roast vegetables please?"
"Alrighty anything else?"
"One of each appetizers too as well please."
"Got it never ending steak and shrimp rare with roast vegetables also one of every app."
Alexander nodded and the waitress left to place the order. After she left Alexander looked over to Derek with concern.
"Son, are you okay you don't look good?"
"I am fine dad, just a tiny bit hot that is all."
"Okay let me know if anything changes right away."
"I will father."
"How was the trip with Drake earlier today also sorry about leaving all of a sudden the other morning?"
"It was awesome. We had a lot of fun. I bought new bedroom furniture, clothes, and a little jewelry. And don't worry about that, I completely understand why you had to."
"I am glad to hear that you also ate the snack that I provided for you yesterday afternoon?"
"Yes I did, I even took out some yesterday for tonight like you requested."
"Good! Ah look, here comes the food."
Derek turned his head to see three waitresses pushing carts with their order. Within moments they arrived and started to place the trays of food on the large table. Refilling their drinks and bowing then left with the empty carts.
Alexander then ushered for Drake to sit and eat which he did. Gleefully digging into the steak and shrimp platter while gradually picking from the various apps. For the next four hours the three chowed down on the platters and apps. But a half hour later Drake noticed blood dripping onto Derek's plate. Looking up and then noticing fangs but a second later felt fangs in his own mouth.
"My lord I think Derek's and my first shift synced up and from the looks of Derek he is changing fast."
Alexander looked to his now son and saw his clothes ripping and facial features changing quickly. Then it dawned on him that Derek is one of the rare breeds that have a bipedal form from the damage already made by pre transformation.
Quickly both Drake and Alexander got up then Alexander grabbed hold of his son's arms while Drake held his legs then headed for the basement. The owner saw what was happening from his opened office door.
Quickly getting up as well and unlocking the basement door and rushing down to quickly set up the cages with raw meat and water. By the time the trio made it to the bottom of the stairs the cages were ready.
Drake quickly handed Derek's legs to the owner of the buffet and quickly ran into a cage and locked it with the lock given to him. Seconds after locking the cage Drake felt his bones crack so he swiftly removed his slightly tattered clothes and shoes.
Within seconds he was standing there naked waiting for the inevitable. Looking over to the other cage he saw both the owner and Alexander holding down Derek with one hand. While with the other quickly removing his clothes, shoes and jewelry. What seemed like hours they finally were able to get all off in time and clasping the shackles on his wrists and ankles then swiftly left the cage and locked it.
"Son, remember what I said do not fight the wolf and transformation unless you want to end up completely feral later in life."
Derek nodded and calmed his mind and prepared himself for the transformation. Ten minutes later, the full moon's light shined through the basement windows beaming on both Drake and Derek. Seconds later the only thing that could be heard was the breaking and reforming of bones.
Derek continued what his father instructed: keep his mind calm and not fight at all. Twenty minutes later, the moon rose at its highest peak in the sky, still beaming on the two. Minutes later the owner and Alexander were staring down two eight foot bipedal werewolves.
Which was shocking because from all the research he had done Alexander never found any evidence of bipedal werewolves in Drake's family tree when he took him on as a staff member as an orphan. His family line has been mostly primal werewolf transformations.
Though remembering that he only went back seven generations so realizing it was a dormant trait now. Refocusing on his son and walking up to the cage unlocking it and then opening it to release the shackles.
After the shackles were off Derek wrapped him in a hug which caused his thick black fur to tickle Alexander's face. Disregard the sensation and return the embrace then leading him out of the cage to the bowls of raw meat and water.
Derek licked his fathers face affectionately and then bent down to start eating. Alexander then went over to the other cage to do the same for Drake's. Who also embraced him in a hug as well and once again Alexander had his face tickled by the thick fur once again.
Guiding him out of the cage and over to the bowls. Drake affectionately licked Alexander's face as well and then bent down to eat and drink. Twenty minutes later, the boys finished and curled up together and fell asleep.
The owner went over to the cabinet and pulled out a king sized comforter and placed it on top of them. Afterwards the owner and Alexander left the basement and closed the door. For the next Fifty-six hours Alexander gradually refilled the bowls with water and food before they woke after each nap.
Twenty hours later, he went down into the basement but this time he saw naked teenage boys. He quietly placed their clothes by them and moved off to the side waiting for them to wake. Three hours later, he noticed them starting to rouse.
"Good morning boys, how do you feel?"
"Extremely groggy and hungry."
"That is to be expected, you were in your werewolf form for nearly five days which is a normal amount of time for your bodies to acclimatize to the transition better. After you shift again next full moon you should be able to shift at will my it be a full, half, anthro, partial, or primal transformation. Most werewolves with a bipedal have five to six different forms. It will take practice to master them all but I am certain that you both are capable. But anyway why don't you two get dressed and then meet me upstairs breakfast is all ready for you two. Complaints of the owner as well for successfully transitioning."
With that Alexander left the boys to get dressed. After he left the basement both boys got up and then blushing a little since they are more hairier, more endowed, permanent glowing eyes, fangs, claws, tails, taller, beefier, and wolf ears on top of their heads instead of their normal human ears.
Bending down to grab their clothes and quickly dressing. Derek then grabbed his jewelry off of the table and put them back on as well. Nodding they both ascended the steps minutes later they exited the basement and arrived back at the dining room.
Noticing both the owner and Alexander at a table conversing. Walked over and sat down digging into the breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, steak, hash browns, toast, french toast, biscuits and gravy, milk, juice, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
"So how do you feel now boys that you have joined the life of the immortal?"
"Vigorating and Energized."
"That's good anything else?"
"Ravenous and really horny."
"That is to be expected, your hunger and hormones are still acclimatizing to your new selves. It will still be another week until it is under control and stable. Like I said earlier I have faith in you both. Even though it has been a good forty years since I first transformed I remember like it was yesterday."
Everyone laughed at that and then began digging in the food. Three hours later, with bellies filled, the boys thanked the owner and left with Alexander so the owner could close up for the weekend.
Waving goodbye they all left the buffet and headed to the parking lot. Finding the limo both Derek and Alexander hopped in the back and Drake hopped in the front and started up the limo and they were off.
Three hours later, they arrived back at the mansion. Parking the limo in the garage and then the three hopped out and headed inside after closing the garage. Groggily walking through the kitchen the trio bid each other adieu and good night then headed to their respective rooms. Entering his room Derek felt extremely tired and smelly more than usual. Realizing that it was because of his heightened senses.
Groggily removing his clothes that is when he noticed his new furniture and clothes hanging up and set up. Remembering the clerk said that it will be traded out and installed for him by the time he returns to the mansion.
Pushing the thought away for later he finished undressing and walked to the bathroom with a tired limp in his step. Arriving he stepped into the shower the second the door closed the water turned on.
Wetting his body and remembering which buttons he pushed last. Pushing them and starting the process of soaping, lathering, and rinsing. Turning around to see Drake once again there holding a towel.
Stepping out of the shower and gladly accepting it also noticing him wet as well meaning that he just got down with a shower as well to wash away the smell of canine. Smiling Derek started to dry off and walked back into his bedroom with Drake following behind.
Handing the towel back and walking over to his dresser grabbing boxers noticing that they have a tail hole as well then put them on. Then he walked over to his bed and climbed in and got under the covers seeing Drake leaving.
"You can join me if you want Drake. There is no need to hide it. You obviously have a crush on me and you are an omega."
"Yes I do and you are an alpha. I just didn't think that a royal like you would take me as a lover a grunt."
"Nonsense Drake you're adorable and I would be delighted to have you as my first boyfriend but no sex ok I am too tired to do so."
Drake nodded and removed his clothes then climbed in front of Derek getting under the covers and they both fell asleep. In the middle of the night the both of them woke to a nasty odor getting out of the bed and followed the source.
They eventually arrived at the source and were shocked that the smell was coming from the lord's room. Opening the door but what they saw was the lord and father lifeless not moving or breathing.
Using their heightened senses they sniffed the air and could only smell the scent of death. This saddens them both Drake more than Derek since he has known the lord since he was a young boy.
For Derek he just couldn't comprehend the situation but then realized now that why he was looking for an heir is because he had no living family left besides him now that he was officially a Drason by legal means. Regaining their composure they went back to Derek's room and Drake grabbed his walkie to relay the situation with the other staff and for them to call the funeral home to set up a burial date.
Three weeks later….
The day of the funeral had arrived. Friends and staff gathered around the casket of the Alexander Drason with sorrowful tears in their eyes. Speeches were made and condolences given then his casket was lowered into the ground and buried.
Then everyone left and headed to the mansion and enjoyed each other's company in merrymet and sadness while eating finger foods. Three hours later, the guests and mourners left and then the staff began to clean up while Drake and Derek went up to their room.
