Alpha and Omega: The Reunion
Almost one year after the ending of The Outcast
Armstrong's POV
I was standing outside of the entrance of my den with my head on my mate's shoulder as we watched the sun set on a once again perfect day, both enjoying just having the other there with him.
"You know Armstrong tomorrow is going to be a year that we've been married" Candu brought up
I glanced over at Candu and the said wolf gave me a smile in response.
"I know honey, I'm excited!" I said wagging my tail
Candu chuckled and licked my cheek causing me to blush before I remember what else tomorrow would symbolize
"It's also going to be a year that...you know who has been gone..." I said looking down at my feet
"Leon?" I nodded in response
"Are you going to be okay? I know how close you and your brother were" Candu asked looking down at me
I glanced up at him and smiled
"Yeah, tomorrow is supposed to be a good day, so I'm not going to try and think about Leon...to much" I said in response
Candu shook his head, drew me into a hug and urged me to look up at him. Once I did Candu connected our lips for a second before breaking apart giving me a smile.
"Come on, it's our anniversary tomorrow, what's the worst that could happen?" Candu asked shrugging his shoulders
"Your right, Candu I'm going to go see what the guys are doing, okay?" I asked
"Fine, just please...no log sledding" Candu pleaded
I leaned forward and gave him a passionate kiss for awhile before separating
"No promises" I chuckled before running off to find the guys.
Candu's POV
I shook my head as I watched my mate ran off to find the other Omega's
"He's going to get himself killed one of these days I swear" I said to myself
I then caught a glance of someone walking to my left, I turned my head and saw Hutch trotting along the trail with his head down and staring at the ground as he walked.
I sighed to myself and decided I needed to talk to him.
"Hey Hutch wait up!" I yelled
Hutch lifted his head and turned his attention to me as I walked up to him
"How's it going buddy? We haven't talked in a while" I asked
Hutch managed a smile, a fake one from the looks of it, and sighed
"Oh you know same old, same old, just trying to get through the day" Hutch answered before looking back down at the dirt
"Are you okay? You know...Leon" I asked
As soon as I said his name Hutch glanced up at me with sorrowful eyes before looking up at the star-filled sky
"It's been a year" I added
"...I know" Hutch responded still looking up at the sky
I turned my attention to the sky as well and found the sight to be beautiful, the pitch black sky with stars spread out and the moon shining brightly down on us.
"He's going to come back, he promised" I insisted
Hutch sighed as I saw a tear come from his eye and trail down his face before hitting the ground
"...I know, it's just...I thought he would have been back by now" Hutch said
"People run into difficulties, it's natural" I assured, trying to give him some comfort
"It hurts..."
"What?" I asked
"It hurts...without him" Hutch answered letting tears run freely
"I know how you feel, when Armstrong was shot all I could do was think about was him and if he was okay" I said remembering the horrible time Armstrong was shot and the aftermath of it all, the feeling it gave me of utter dispare and emptiness, it hurt.
Hutch continued to look up at the sky for a minute before he burst out into tears.
"I..I j-just want him back!" Hutch pleaded
I drew him into a comforting hug and let him cry freely into my shoulder as I pat his back
"It's okay...it's all going to be okay" I cooed
I sat there and let Hutch cry on me, I watched what my best friend, an Alpha, was reduced to. I looked up at the sky, at the moon and asked:
'Leon where are you?'
Meanwhile/Armstrong's POV
"Where would the guy's be at this time of day? Maybe there at the usual hangout?" I asked myself as I walked threw the forest towards
As I walked I all of a sudden heard a loud snap from behind me. I quickly turned my head and saw a tree limb on the ground, I looked up and saw the place of the missing limb on the tree. I examined the area once more and found no one to be around, that I could see anyways, and decided to continue on my way to our Omega hangout. When I heard a whistle from above me, I looked up and was greeted by a white blur landing on me and pinning me under it.
I shut my eye's tight and held up my arms to protect myself from who ever it was. As I whimpered I received a laugh from the figure on top of me.
"Got ya" the figure laughed
I opened my eye's and was greeted with yellow one's and a smile of a friend.
"Stephon..." I sighed
Stephon was a good friend of mine and Candu's that we met a few months ago, he had shining white fur and gleaming yellow eyes and was a bit taller than myself, being the size of Garth, he was a trustworthy friend, a little dark at times I'll emit, but has the humor of an Omega even though he's a Zeta and a pretty darn good one at that too!
I once saw him take down three caribou by himself and not to mention how stealthy he can be when he want's to be and this occasion was an example.
"How many times has that been now?" Stephon asked getting off of me
"I lost track" I answered getting up and shaking myself off
"Why do you always do that?" I asked as I continued on my way to the hangout
"Cause it's fun to see you when you get scared like that" Stephon replied as he followed me
"Not to me it isn't"
"Well to me it is" Stephon insisted
"Yeah, just you"
"No, Humphrey and the guys find it funny"
"Okay but no one else does, your just a showing off"
"No...I just like scaring you" Stephon chuckled
"Whatever, I was just heading to meet up with the guys, did you want to come with?" I asked, trying to change the subject
"Sure, let's go" Stephon said running ahead of me and leading the way
With a sigh, I followed him to the Omega hangout.
Once we arrived arrived at the hangout the first thing we see is Humphrey and the others passing a berry around in the air, laughing the entire time, until they spotted Stephon and I walking up to them.
"Oh hey guys!" they all called
"Hi guys, what are you doing?" I asked
"We were just passing around a berry and talking" Shakey answered
"Talking about what?" I asked
"What were going to do about your anniversary tomorrow" Humphrey answered with a smile
"Oh yeah that's right it's your anniversary tomorrow!" Stephon brought up
I rolled my eye's in response, sometimes I can't believe he's a Zeta.
"So what did you guys have in mind?"
"Oh we were going to go on a log sledding marathon, than probably take you and Candu to the Moonlight Howl" Salty answered
"Sound's awesome! Candu and I haven't howled together in awhile. Do you guys have date's?" I asked
Humphrey, of course, nodded, Shakey said he was taking Reba and Mooch was taking Candy.
"What about you Stephon?" I asked turning to the white wolf at my side
"I was thinking about taking Janice"
"Did you ask her yet?" Shakey asked
"No, I was planning on doing it at the night of the Moonlight Howl"
"You might want to hurry, she might get asked by someone else" I insisted
"You think so?"
"Yeah, we just saw her and Reba not to long ago, they went down to the stream to get a drink" Mooch answered
"I'll be right back guys" Stephon said
With that he ran off to into the woods in the direction of the stream to try and find Janice.
"Salty?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you have a date?" I asked chuckling
"No..." Salty answered with his head dropping down
"There has to be someone you like" Mooch insisted
"There is..."
"Who?" Shakey asked
"Gail..." Salty answered blushing
Of course. It just had to be Gail, ever sense Candu and I got married she's been trying to seduce me every chance she got, which was when Candu was doing his Alpha duties, she's a good friend and all but she still needs to know that it won't happen because first I'm not interested in women and second. I'm married. I would never cheat on Candu, I love him to much, and I have a feeling she knows that but it's just not getting to her. Besides Salty has had a huge crush on her sense she came her and I think they would make a good couple, they seem to get along good and she talks to him more than any other Omega, besides me of course.
"Just ask her out" I spoke up
"I don't think she likes me" Salty responded as he drew a circle in the dirt with his paw
"You'll never know unless you try" Humphrey suggested
"I guess I could" Salty said, gaining some confidence
"Hey Armstrong!" I heard, I didn't even need to turn to see who it was, I've heard it so many times that I swear I hear it in my sleep
"Speak of the devil" I whispered
"Hi Gail" I answered back as I turned around I was greeted with a hug by the female Omega
"Hi guys" she said to the others
"Hi Gail"
"Hi Gail..." Salty said in a dreamy tone, man was he head over heals
"So what have you guys been up to?" she asked, still holding onto my chest
"We were just talking about who we're taking to the Moonlight Howl tomorrow night" Shakey answered
'Crap I already know what's she's going to ask' I thought
"Really now? Armstrong want to be my date?"
"You know I can't, Candu is my date, it is our anniversary tomorrow" I answered proudly
"Then who can I take?"
I turned to Salty and whistled to get his attention. He shook his head out of the daze and looked at me, I responded by using my eyes to point at her, trying to send him a message to ask her out.
"Hey uhhh Gail...?" Salty started
"Yeah what is it Salty?"
"W-Would you...like to...go with me to the Moonlight Howl?" Salty asked, wincing as he awaited a response
All of a sudden Gail got off of me, went over to Salty and licked his cheek, causing him to blush.
"I'd be happy to" she said
"Really?" Salty asked
"Yeah I've had a crush on you for a while now"
"Really?" all of us asked
"Yeah I want to try and go after someone I like instead of Armstrong all the time, you know, actually try a relationship and I like you soooo why not?"
Salty grew a big smile and blushed a deeper color of red at her confession
"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" she asked
Salty nodded as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"We'll just give you two some alone time" Mooch brought up
"Yeah, I have to get home to Kate anyways" Humphrey agreed
"And I guess it's about time I get home to Candu" I said
After saying our goodbyes and wishing Salty good luck we all headed our separate ways to home. As I walked home my mind started to drift off to how good my life has been sense I got here. Meeting everyone and making friends, falling in love, getting married. So many things happened that I'm happy about...and yet, I miss everyone at my old pack all my good friends, the people I grew up with, and of course my family. Especially Leon, my stupid older brother, I missed him. I've been missing him. But I know that he's going to come back, I'm not so sure if Hutch does though.
When I see Hutch he always seems so sad, he and Leon were so happy together and when he left Hutch actually cried! Which was the first time, I've seen him cry. Although now that Leon's gone I see him cry almost every time I talk to him. Those two fell in love and now that there apart I wonder how Leon is reacting to the whole thing, is he acting like Hutch? Is he worse or better? I had no way of knowing and I knew to get my answer I would just have to wait for my stupid older brother to come back.
Once I arrived home I found Hutch passed out on the right side of Candu with tears staining his face.
"Hey babe" Candu greeted as I l entered our den
"Hi honey" I said laying down next to him before looking at Hutch
"Did he do it again?" I asked
Candu nodded in response then looking down at Hutch
"I promised him he could spend the night here"
"Good, at least he could get a good night's rest" I said putting my head under Candu's and closing my eye's
"Night Candu" I whispered
"Night Armstrong, I love you" Candu whispered back
"Love you too" I said before going to sleep
Leon's POV
"Almost...there" I panted as I headed up a hill
"Leon...we're still a while away...we should rest" the voice of a friend said from behind me
"I've waited to long...to just stop...and rest when we're...so close" I panted as I headed up another hill
"We've been walking for almost 4 straight day's! Can't we rest a bit?" the same voice asked
I turned to him and saw that he was exhausted and panting with his eye's half closed from exhaustion. I sighed to myself before giving up.
"Fine, we'll rest here for the night" I said
Immediately, he fell to the ground and started to curl up and try to fall asleep, I chuckled to myself as I watched his antics before curling up myself and trying to get some sleep, before I closed my eye's I glanced up at the moon, oh how it looked so familiar and brought back such good memories of my time at Jasper and now I was almost there, by tomorrow I would be back at Jasper and see my brother and of course...Hutch. One year and now I was going to finally see everyone that I made friends with. I laughed to myself quietly at the memories, before shutting my eye's and going to sleep.
"Happy Anniversary...Little brother."
