Big brother Terukan was someone I always looked up to, he was both one of the best hunters for the pack and he was also the alpha's second beta. Big brother Teru was ten winters older than me but he seemed like he was so much older than that whenever he would take the time out to talk to myself and some of the other pups of the pack. Teru loved to gather us around and tell us stories of hunts he and the other adult of the pack had gone on and some of the things he had seen when he, the other beta, and the alpha had gone past the borders of our forest to the cities. I still found it a little hard to believe that there were people who didn't wear loincloths but I knew big brother wouldn't lie about something like that.

Watching him as he slept on the cot next to me, I couldn't help but lean over just a little bit and sniff over his black fur and breathe in his scent; masculine, earthy, kinda like the land after a rainstorm, and a little pungent from not bathing last night. I felt my nose wrinkle and my body shivered as my loins started to rise in excitement before I berated myself and clamed my racing heart with a paw over my chest. Still looking at Teru, I found it hard not to be hypnotized by the mesmerizing sight of his broad, muscular chest rising and falling like one of the tribe's drums after it had been struck. My hand reached out without my realizing it and soon I found myself caressing my fingers over my brother's firm torso, lightly kneading his pectorals and tracing patterned lines of them.

The muscles underneath were as strong a rock, yet his fur was soft like our mother's pelt. I wondered if that was why I always ran and tried to bury myself into his body whenever I could when I was a pup? After our parents had died in a battle against a wild dragon, big brother had done all he could to take care of me and provide for us what he could. Was that why I idolized him so much? He was all I had after all, but that didn't seem right. There was always the alpha I could have looked up to for inspiration, however; the alpha wasn't the one who wrapped his body around me when I had cried to sleep wanting my parents back. The alpha hadn't licked me over the top of my head to stop my nightmares, nor was the alpha the one who first taught me how to hold and throw a spear the right way, in order to bring down a buck.

It was always Teru by my side, not the leader of our pack. That was the reason why I loved Teru so much. He was strength, my reason for keep going on when things seemed meaningless. Moving my paw and laying my head down next to him, I curled myself and my tail into Teru's body and then closed my eyes. I never could get to sleep unless we were like this, and I was always grateful Teru never push me away.

One Summer later...

I watched the buck as it snorted and sniffed the air, trying to find the danger it was sensing. No one moved though and with the wind in our favor the pack of young males around me waited for the right time to spring our trap. The long horned male stamped at the grass, throwing up blades of green, before lowering its head and returning to grazing. Everyone watched on silently. Breaths firmly held in our chest, weapons clenched in tight paws and tails standing stock-still, everyone waited for my signal but I knew it wasn't time yet.

The buck turned as another deer came up making the male lift his head and lean forward to chuff over her fur and it was exactly then that my bark resonated throughout the small forested clearing. The buck didn't have time to lift his head and flick an ear as I sprung out from my hiding place and then tossed my rock tipped spear at him. The force of my arm sent my weapon spinning and making a sweet whistling sound before a pained yowl followed by a braying cry echoed out of the animal's throat. The female backed up in fear and turned to run away but the others were after her in seconds. I watched some of my hunt-mates chase after the doe with their muzzles open in excitement for the fresh kill, but those that stayed behind rushed out with their weapons poised in readiness to finish off the stumbling buck. My aim had sent my weapon cutting through his tough hide and now as my spear danced up and down into the air I knew that the animal's life was now at its end.

I made a slop lop on all fours towards the male and watched as three others charged and then attack the animal with their knives and swords. The buck didn't survive the barrage and soon red was staining the ground around it before it slumped to the ground, dead. I got over just as the others were howling and raising their steel bladed weapons in victory but I didn't howl with them as I reached out and grabbed my spear before pulling it out of the now cooling body and then barked at them. My quick shout made their victory cheer cease as I told them to get the deer back to the pack while I went after the others. They all nodded to me and helped each other heft the fallen creature up before I got onto all fours and ran off to where the others of my hunt-mates had ran off too.

A few minutes later, I spotted them not more than fifty yards away, after following their harried trail of broken undergrowth, and saw them standing over their own kill. Calling out to them, the four males ushered me to see what they had caught and I congratulated them before telling them to carry the doe back to the pack. They nodded and did so while I hung in the back, my eyes were constantly switching between our left and right, making sure that nothing would come out and try to attack us. With the rumors of dragons supposedly moving into the area no one could be too careful, that's one of the reasons I had been made leader of this little expedition. Not to brag, but with my brother teaching me everything he knew about hunting and how to command others, I was the best choice from the group of young males I had been assigned to watch over.

It didn't take us long to return to the rest of the pack and when we did everyone was filled with pride at our accomplishments as nonstop praise rang out for our double kill. The alpha himself came up to us and gave us all words of approval before stepping up to me and commanding me to follow him into his tent.

My hunt-mates looked to me with worry but I waved their concerns off and tossed my spear to one of them, before telling the group to go to the river and wash off. The seven of them looked hesitant but a sharp growl from me got their tails moving and then they were gone while some of the females came and carried tonight's meal off. My thoughts however, focused on what the alpha male wanted of me as I strode myself over to his den and then stepped into it. Larger than the homes the rest of the pack lived in, I was surprised to find it full of both weapons and medicine not to mention my older brother.

"Alpha." I said before being waved over and told to sit beside Teru.

I tried not to let it show but a light shiver ran down my body as I made my over onto Teru's left side and then planted myself onto a soft mat underneath me.

The alpha looked at me for a second and then pushed something over in front of me. My eyes blinked as I looked down and then saw a small bowl filled with some kind of liquid swirling around. My nose caught the scent of fruit and ink and then I gaped as I looked up to the alpha and then back down to the bowl before I turned towards my brother. Teru smiled at me with his fangs sticking out of lips and the pearl white tips glinting at me. I snapped my head back to the leader of our pack and then said,

"Thank you for the honor alpha." My voice was strong even though I felt like a bundle of butterflies were making their way up from out of my stomach as tears began to well up in my eyes, clouding my vision.

A strong hand gripped my shoulder and as I looked up, Teru was sitting next to me with the same warm smile covering his muzzle. Coughing and sniffing as I regained my composure, I looked back up and then reached down to remove my tanned loin cloth with shaky fingers before setting it down beside me. Traditionally, the right of bearing the marks of the pack came from a family member with the alpha's permission when he approved of a male doing something worthy of bearing the honor symbols, that usually having been competent in a successful hunt. Since Teru was my only family, I guessed my being here meant that I had received the necessary permission but when the alpha himself walked over to me and dipped his fingers into the bowl, I thought I was going to pass out from shock.

Two of his white fingers dug and swirled into the bowl before raising up his glimmering, not to mention sticky, blue coated fingers and then tilting my black furred head, he begin painting me. The cobalt eyed male was stoic during the entire process but a quiet, if not hopefully very much muffled moan, came from me as the bigger male got down to my sheath and coated me with the ink. I willed my sex to not try and come up for attention but as the furry pouch between my legs swelled upwards I prayed that the alpha would not take offense to this. A dual chuckle resonated between the alpha and Teru as the two of them looked down at me and then began snickering out loud. My ears laid flat and my face slumped into a frown, though my eyes kept respectful deference for the alpha as he still had my head in his paws and was now running his fingers around my tailbase.

When our leader was done, he nodded at me before lowering his head and licking me over the tip of my snout. It was something all alphas, or at least all the alphas of our pack, had done for generations to mark we wolves as belonging to certain respectful packs. As the white male's large, warm tongue brushed over my head I began to pant as my tail beat against the ground in joy. I was now and adult male. Though it would mean much more responsibility in the future to come, it also meant that now I was able to court a mate for this summer and many more to come if this year proved unfruitful.

Turning my head to look at Teru, I found the larger black wolf looking at me with something more than pride shimmering in his eyes and it made my heart speed up some at the implications. The alpha drew my attention and congratulated me again before sending both myself and my brother on our way. The two of us rose up, bowed and then walked out of our pack leader's home. When the wolves outside saw us many of them yipped in joy and howled as a new male had been ushered into the ranks of adulthood. I felt somewhat embarrassed by all the praise but Teru took my shoulder and clenched his fingers around it reassuringly, letting me know that there was no shame to be found at this moment. Raising my own head to the sun gazing down at us, I opened my muzzle and let out my first howl as an adult.

Many went silent at my call but soon all were howling after me.

Teru also made his happiness known, but unlike everyone else his cry made my heart and stomach shiver as I looked down at the ground while blushing and then realized that I had forgotten my loincloth. Nudity wasn't much of a problem in our pack, especially during the Summer and Autumn seasons when the wind seemed to almost be relentless at teasing the males by tugging their coverings up at the most inopportune moments. Pulling away from Teru, I turned around and darted back to the alpha's den just in time to see a single white paw holding my loin guard.

Snickers ran from the larger, though unseen male, and many of the people of our pack as I hesitantly took the piece of animal hide and dressed my loins. Teru was laughing hard enough to make his entire body rattle, which only made me more ashamed before he walked over to me and then herded me to our own den area. The inside of my onyx furred ears were stained red but I didn't say anything as I walked beside Teru all the way until we got to our home.

Now that I was an adult I could petition for the females to make a place for me to sleep away from my brother, something many males did upon gaining their newfound maturity, but I...I wasn't going to leave. Not unless Teru asked me too. Instead, as we entered into our den and sat down onto our cots, I took this time to really look at my brother. The person I had come to know all of my eighteen years of life was now someone I was equal to in the pack, though not quite in body size just yet. As such, I was able to now do something I had been too immature do back then,

"Big brother. No, Teru of the Rain Water Tribe. I have something to ask of you." My voice was firm and unwavering and it seemed to catch my brother by surprise as he blinked his sapphire eyes at me and then leaned forward a bit to stare me directly into the face.

"Yes, Takeru of the Rain Water Tribe. What is it you wish to ask of me?" His voice too, was unwavering making my heart thud inside of my naked chest strong enough to cause the impression of it to be noticeably visible.

"For year you have taken care of me. You have fed me. Taught me. Trained me and loved me as a brother. Now as I sit before you as an adult of our tribe, I ask this of you: Will you accept to becoming my mate?"

No words were said for seconds unending, but I wasn't going to fear what would come next not even if that meant Teru pounced on me and took my neck in the tight vice of his jaws and ended my life. While the mating of two males wasn't frowned upon, the bonds of incest were something that was not taken lightly within this pack. It was a legend that the Rain Water Tribe began with the mating of siblings but this was something that wasn't spoken of often.

Teru breathed slowly and then opened his muzzle,

"No. I will not accept you, Takeru of the Rain Water Tribe."

His words were like a hammer slamming upon my heart. I felt a splintering and then a cracking that soon released tears from my eyes. Bowing my head, I nodded to Teru and then hiccupped as I sat there unable to move any of my other muscles. What came next was not expected but not unwelcomed as the strong build of Teru's form padded over to me on all fours and then the warmth of my sibling's tongue ran itself over my wet eyes and lips. I gasped, making my muzzle a perfect target as Teru plunged his tongue into his maw and then pressed us closer together into an unbreakable kiss.

My cerulean eyes opened wide as I tasted Teru for the first time in my life. His moist, cold nose pressed into mine, my brother and I shared something too passionate for words as we sat there unmoving, save our tails swaying leisurely behind us. When Teru pulled himself back all I wanted to do was tackle him down and return our muzzles together, but my body was in shock and I felt paralyzed by his touch. Teru sat himself back onto his haunches within the invisible circle of my body before speaking again,

"I will not accept you, Takeru of the Water Tribe, because if I did so I would poison something that could blossom between you and another you have not met yet." His words were wise but my heart and mind cried out only for him. Seeing the desperation in my shimmering orbs Teru spoke again, "I know that you love me little brother, but I also know you have never tested the waters of being loved by someone other than myself. You are still a virgin to what could possibly be between you and another so I will not accept you as you are now. However, if you still have such devotions within three years from now, then I will accept you as my mate, but you must promise me that you will not hold yourself prisoner of your own heart in waiting for that time to past. Promise me that you will look to others for the love that I could offer you and see if your feelings remain as strong for me when you are with someone else. If they remain so, only then will I have you as my own." Teru prodded my snout with his large one getting a short chuckle from me before I gazed at him and nodded my head.

"Alright my beloved brother, I will do as you say, I will test the waters of another's love," I said with as much dedication as I could muster. "But, I know in my heart that you are the only one I want."

A smirk appeared on his face as he licked my snout again before his black muzzle dipped down close to my chest, snuffling my sweaty fur, and then lower to where my loincloth was tenting up between my legs.

"Is it your heart that knows this or another part of you?" Teru says jovially before nipping at the edge of my harden shaft making a moan escape through my lips.

"Y-yes!" I shouted, trying to impress upon my brother that it was my heart that ruled my choice but as he raised up the flap of my loincloth and blew a warmth coat of breath over me I couldn't help but murr in pleasure as my hips danced up towards his snout.

I heard Teru's chuckles before I noticed that he had reappeared back to where he had been sitting with a playful smirk on his face. Looking down at myself, I groaned as I realized then that maybe, just maybe, Teru had been somewhat right. I was a virgin to the feelings of love and lust, but as I gazed down at the rising tent of my cock my heart whispered that these three years would fly back very quickly.

A year later mid-Autumn...

Life is very strange sometimes. As I stared out across the jade plains that bordered on the pack's land watching the sun set, I could never have guessed that there was so much to know about having, both sex and a relationship with another person. At this moment, I was companioned to another male who was lovingly attached to me as I to him. His name was Talon, a large and muscular grey wolf male who was the third beta to our alpha and had come to our pack the Winter past. It had been a surprise to many with Talon having come from another area far to the north after having reached adulthood. Much scrutiny surrounded him as his entire air and looks were so foreign to us of the Rain Water Tribe that many cast suspicion about him and his origins. Much of the world was unknown to us of the Rain Water Tribe, the alpha and his betas were the only ones who even went to the cities, so this outsider was tested by heavy looks and unsure attitudes.

Not that he minded in the least. Though everyone was polite, Talon took the heated gazes and whispers behind his back as if they were leaves falling from the trees. The surprise of him becoming beta had more to do with situation than anything else as Talon had helped to slay the dragon that had tried to impress upon our lands some months back. Between him, the alpha, my brother and the other beta, the three males had combined forces to minimize casualties to zero, not to mention bring a fine prize back out of dragon meat and hide that was fashioned into clothing for trade. After that moment, no one had anything else to say about the muscle bound wolf and he was treated as another member of the back from that day on, though his looks did make many eyes watch him, somewhat cautiously.

The grey wolf stood a head taller than me and was just massive all over. His legs could outrun a buck going at full tilt while his arms could heft up a fallen tree with minor strain. His voice was thick, like honey, as he spoke in a way that took time to grow used to and though he swore that he was my age, Talon looked to be an older male of some five years my senior. However, the alpha found him worthy of his trust after the two had left the pack on that snowy day when the grey male had arrived so that was all the rest of the pack needed to not chase him out with their weapons brandished.

Why he took an eye to me, I'm not so sure about. All I do know is that when I had been bathing in the river by myself, Talon had come up behind me and sniffed over my neck making me growl and bare my fangs as I turned around, startled. When he had told me I smelled good and that he wanted to mate with me, to say the least I was surprised. Not only was about a third less muscular than him, but I was and still am longing for my brother, but Talon had a way with me that made something in my heart flip around in excitement whenever he was around. After I had agreed to mate with him there in the river, he was very persistent, and we copulated there in the water with him lifting his tail for me, I realized exactly what my brother had been talking about.

I was virgin to feeling love for someone else, not to say I hadn't been with other males before after figuring sometime after my first tryst with a female that women just didn't do anything for me and since I was both young and virile it was nothing for me and one of my hunt-mates to share seed with one another. However, when Talon had howled after coming with me inside of him I felt the same kind of devotion to him that I felt for my brother. No, not the same: different. I knew that what I wanted from Teru was to forever have him by my side, but now I wanted Talon to be there with me for the rest of my days as well. It was damn confusing! I felt like I would be betraying someone if I took either of the males, so as my thoughts spun like a maelstrom, I just stood next to an old oak tree watching the horizon drink up the sun.

A firm and warm paw grabbed my shoulder making my back tense before I caught a scent that lowered my defenses. Turning my head, I wasn't surprised to see Teru standing there on my left side. My older brother was still as handsome as ever and as he looked to me with his azure eyes sparkling in the sunlight, I wanted to break down and cry out for him to forgive me for even thinking of betraying him. Opening my mouth, Teru cut me off with a firm kiss that had my legs trembling. We shared our tongues with one another for a full minute before I pulled back to gasp for needed, thought not appreciated, air. Panting and wagging my tail, I looked Teru in his eyes and then smiled at him sadly.

"I know what you are feeling right now is confusing Takeru, but you don't have to be afraid of it. I will always be your brother, no matter who you mate with. That's something not even death can take away from us." Teru said wisely making a smile cover my muzzle as I leaned over and hugged him close to me.

His scent filled my nose as his muscular arms wrapped me up into his chest. His embrace was without hesitation and that made much of my own worry and anxiousness fade into nothing, calming and reassuring me at the same moment. I still had so much time to chose but at this precipice of unsurety, I think my heart was waging a war with itself that I would, ultimately, lose. Nuzzling my brother, I began to laugh for no reason at all making Teru pull back and look at me oddly.

"You know, I think I'll never be able to make a choice at this rate, but I would like you to do something for me to calm my fears down, if you would give me such an honor, big brother?" I asked without letting my own hesitations stop me.

"And what is that, Takeru?"

"Please make love to me, right here while the sun dies between the trees."

Teru looks at me for a few moments, not saying a word, before he noded his head and then let's me turn around so that I could brace myself up against the oak tree. I had let myself be taken my many males before, but I've taken more in the same position by the way, so I was no virgin in that area. However, when my brother leaned down and raised my tail straight up against my back I was pleasantly surprised when I felt something, long and wet, course its way up through my tailhole. Lifting my head up and moaning I wiggled my hips and spread my legs wide hoping to feel more of my brother's tongue delving inside of me. My scent must have intensified because Teru's lapping became stronger seconds later and soon he had me panting and digging my claws into the bark of the oak in front of me.

It was a known, but never spoken aloud fact, that the alpha and his betas coupled with one another all the time. The alpha hadn't taken a mate yet, so many females were vying for his attention but the large white male would only turn his head at all of them, save one. It was another rumor that, that was how Talon had entered into the pack since the male had been limping slightly while the scent of our pack leader covered him from head to toe. Though his body didn't drip with the excess of our alpha's seed, it was very little chance that the two had just been tussling in the forest without someone coming out dominant and mounting the other. That both Talon and the alpha had swapped loincloths was also a subtle hint, but no one was going to ask to be sure.

When Teru dislodged his tongue from my behind I was sure that it was drooling with his spittle, but I had little time to wonder as the bigger wolf wrapped his arms around me and pulled both his and then my own loincloth down before settling his cock within my depths. Teru must have been expecting something like this because the fullness of his girth made me wince as he pushed and pushed inside of my body until I could feel him somewhere, just below my guts. I had seen my brother hard before when we bathed in the river when I was younger, but actually having him so deep inside of me made me realize what kind of male I was thinking of making my mate. Leaning forward and nuzzling my ears, Teru quieted some of the unnecessary whimpers slipping out of my maw as my body conformed around his turgid shaft. It took several minutes, but when I felt that I was ready I nodded for my brother to begin and received a lick on the side of my ears and then felt him pull back from me.

His cock was like a force of nature as it slipped out of me, leaving me with an emptiness that was as deep as chasm, before thrusting back inside of my body and filling me to the point of bursting. I yipped and wagged my tail before I was treated to such exquisite feelings again. Teru hugged my body close as he whispered words to me that I couldn't understand, all the time his hips joined us together over and over like two combatants in battle. My own sheath was hard and wanton as the tip of my erection splashed fountains of pre fluids up out and across the tree I was gripping my paws into. I grunted on a particularly hard thrust before growling and then pushing my own rear into my brother's hips forcing him out of me.

Teru laughed and jammed forward again, making my body tremble in his embrace and push flush up against the oak. Like a game pups would play with each other, Teru and I made a sport out of going back and forth into one another. Whenever he would thrust forward and fill me up, I would take one hard pant and then push him back making his maleness slip out of me and shiver in the heated air between us. The need to dominant me wasn't present in either of our actions as he and I made making love to one another a sport that both of us would win rather than a competition to take what was being given. Looking between my own legs, I found my hard wolfhood standing firm and proud between my legs like a fleshy blade covered in the sharp scent of my excitement. The clear residue of my balls coated the brown wood I clung to as well as my own abdomen as I was forced into the tree again.

Teru grunted and hammered inside of me some minutes later when the heat of his lust burnt away the playfulness of our mating making me unable to drive my hips backwards and truly realize what kind of male was fucking me. His breath was hot against my face as I turned my eyes to see his long tongue panting between his lips before he licked me and then kissed me as best he could. My head turned towards him and we shared another passionate exchange of tongues while I was ridden harder than a bitch that had come into her first heat. My balls were slapped with great force as Teru's, both larger and fuller, oblongs danced between our spread legs. Though I couldn't see it, I could feel my tail on the left side of Teru's body wagging happily in response to my adoration for my sibling and knew that his own furry appendage was whipping behind him restlessly.

A large ball of flesh tapped at my anal ring making me hiss and break my kiss, before I knew it I was murring and leaning forward as far as I could to let Teru completely tie me. The older black wolf whined and pulled me back to him with all of his strength before plunging his hips forward and tying us with a single, agonizing thrust. I howled in both pain and pleasure as the biggest knot I had ever taken spread me open before being engulfed within my overly hot anus. Teru panted hard and pounded into me again and again as he tried to inseminate me with the fruit of his loins. Looking down at my crimson length I watched the veins fatten as more blood drove into my sex before I was forced fully back, away from the tree, and into Teru's tight embrace. Our midnight colored fur meshed together, making the two of use a large bundle of sexual tension as Teru humped upwards into while I growled and bucked against the wind trying to find release.

A sudden long and loud howl, directly into my ears, signaled the onset of his climax and a second later I felt a wash of cum push up through my guts, entering into me and warming me hotter than the heat of a furnace. Teru didn't lock his fangs around my shoulder in a mating bite as a dominant would his submissive, proving to me through the haze of my oncoming orgasm, that he had meant what he said about waiting for me to make my choice and it was that fact that sent me plummeting, over the edge. I lifted my head and let out a harmonious howl alongside my brother as I came onto that oak in a single, blistering torrent that splattered across the bark and painted the tree with the essence of my love for Teru.

My balls pulled up tightly against my body as I let loose everything I had inside of me, coming for almost thirty seconds straight before my flow began to shoot out in small bursts.

Teru dropped his muzzle onto my shoulder completely as he gasped and huffed like a hunter who just caught up with fleeing prey. My own head lowered and I turned to regard my brother with a breathless thank you before I felt another paw on my right side making me snap my head and growl at the fool who had dared embark upon our time together. As I said before, life is very strange because there on my side, was Talon, looking down at me with a cheeky smile on his face. Not knowing what to say, I was hushed by the bigger wolf and then kissed deeply by the grey male.

When we broke apart though, I had to ask,

"Aren't you mad?" My head tilted in confusion and wait of his answer.

"No way, why would I be? Hell, I was the one who asked ya' brother here to come and mate with you." Talon said in the same honey thick voice that made many in the pack still have to take a second to go over what he said.

"W-what?"

"Yep, sure did. Because as soon as your folks there pull out of you," Talon leaned next to me and pressed his nose into mine. "I'm gonna take his place and ride your sweet tail all the way until midnight."

I gulped and twisted my head to look at Teru who was smiling at me before giving me a wink and then humping forward making me both moan and smile too.
