Alpha and Omega: After Realization
Prologue: A Silence Before and After the Storm
Jasper Park was being covered in deep snow as a massive blizzard blew through the valley with the wind almost howling like a wolf. Both the Eastern and Western packs had been forced to stay in their dens to keep warm as the storm raged on. Everything was blanketed in a sheet of white snow and visibility had now become absolute zero, the wolves could not see anything outside as the blizzard blocked out the whole valley from view. Up on the hill in the Western territory was the main pack leaders den, the entrance was now almost closed up by the three feet of snow that had accumulated. Inside the den was a sole female wolf as she kept herself curled up almost in a ball in an attempt to keep herself warm from the cold wind that was able to make its way into the den. It was Kate.
"Damn storm" whispered Kate in anger.
Kate remained curled up and tried her best to keep her body warm and not freeze to death. The one thing that had kept her from freezing to death in the storm earlier was the anger and hate she now had in her heart. She had come across something that had changed things for everyone in both packs, but she was the one who was hurt by it. At the same moment that she made her discovery, the storm blew its way into Jasper Park and forced every wolf to run to their dens.
"If it wasn't for this storm…I…I'd…" said Kate as she was cut off by her own thoughts.
She couldn't think straight after what had happened and she felt like she had no one to help her through it now.
"Why did this have to happen to me? WHY FUCKING ME!" spoke out Kate in the den.
Lucky for her the storm made sure no one in the valley could hear her scream out in hatred.
"Still feeling crushed huh?" said a voice from the back of the den.
A black and gray wolf appeared from the back of the den and walked towards the front of the den to be next to Kate.
"Just leave me alone"
The wolf sat down next to Kate as she kept herself in the same position to keep warm.
"I can't really leave you alone without you throwing a temper every few minutes, besides, you need to keep warm" said the wolf as he laid down so that he could be next to her and helped her keep warm as he placed his arm around her shoulders.
Kate tried to shrug the wolfs arm off her shoulders, but he just kept on putting his arm over her again, but even though she hated it she knew that it was getting cold inside the den for only one wolf to stay warm without someone else. She decided to stop trying to keep the wolf's arm off her and just let things be, as long as she stayed warm.
"I know what you're going through, trust me, it's just devastating on so many levels" said the male wolf.
Kate then had a confused look on her face. He knows? she thought.
"How do you know?" asked Kate, unable to hold in her curiosity.
"Well… I was wandering around just enjoying the day when I suddenly just… came across what happened and the first thing I thought of at the moment was you. I'm sorry for what happened" said the wolf.
Tears started to form from the wolf's eyes and he lowered his head and face away from Kate. Kate no longer had hate in her eyes; instead it was replaced with sadness, both towards what had happened and for being a little harsh with the wolf next to her.
"You don't have to be sorry for what happened, it's not like it was your fault" replied Kate.
Kate took her arm and also placed it around the wolf's shoulder to cheer him up. The wolf felt her arm on his shoulders and turned his head back to face her.
"I feel like it's my fault though. If I had…I should have done something, I could have talked it out to fix things…as long as…you didn't feel hurt from it this much" said the wolf with tears still in his eyes.
Kate didn't have any words to say, she was only touched at what the wolf said. He would have done the impossible, but what had caused the event had already passed. She tightened her hold on the wolf with her arm as she felt a sense of happiness.
"Hey now, not so tight, I don't want to die from the lack of oxygen"
Kate let out a small smile and a giggle in hearing what he said.
"Sorry, but you always know how to fix things" said Kate.
"I hope I do" replied the wolf.
"Like I said, it's not your fault"
Kate turned her head to stare at the entrance of the den and though the storm could not let her see outside, the flames that she had in her hazelnut brown eyes could pierce the raging storm and look beyond that.
The storm seemed to be becoming stronger with every passing minute; the snow began to fall heavier while the wind grew in its powerful force. Trees were starting to lose their branches as the snow piled on them very quickly and snapped them off, with the wind blowing them away. The forest around Jasper was becoming a death trap, the wind could blow anyone into a tree or a large branch could fall on someone and knock them out. Somewhere in the forest though, there was a secret den that had been made far from the eyes of those living in the valley.
The somewhat large den within the forest was being hit by the snow and every once in a while, a cloud of snow would whisk by. Inside there were two wolves sleeping next to each other and they somehow were able to stay completely warm. But it wasn't just them being together, it was because the entrance of the den was being protected by the snow by a boulder that kept the snow and cold wind from getting in.
A grey male wolf was fast asleep next to this mate, with him having both of his arms around the female to keep warm. As they slept comfortably, the wolf heard a voice.
"I can feel that you are in pain again" said a female voice.
The grey wolf awoke with his eyes widened and surprised, but he made sure he did not remove his arms wrapped around the female.
"You again?" whispered the wolf.
"You've always had this pain with you since I've known you, why do you always let this one thing bring pain to your heart and soul" said the voice, which came from the den entrance.
"Is it my fault that my heart speaks to me and I follow it, only to get crushed or hurt because of it!" snapped the wolf at the voice as he got up.
The wolf turned to check if his mate had woken up because of his outburst, but she was still fast asleep as if she didn't even hear her.
"You remember that you are not with her right now, don't you?" said the voice, only this time it was no longer a whisper.
The wolf expressed confusion for only a short moment before he realized that he was being told the truth. He extended out his arm and as his paw tried to make contact on his mate's shoulder, but he saw that he couldn't.
"I feel the pain that you have inside you and hiding it will not make it go away. You have to feel the joy, the happiness, and pleasure that life has to offer"
The wolf only sighed and knew that he was no longer in his own world anymore. His decision that he had made directly from his heart had changed not just him but it also affected those close to him.
"Now please, come and just relax" said the female voice as a silhouette materialized at the entrance of the den.
The wolf only walked slowly towards the den but did not walk into the cold, he only made his way closer to the entrance where he laid down and then rolled onto one side. His eyes were coming close to tears but he fought not to let them out. He then felt a feeling on the side of his stomach and he somehow was able to calm down and his tears began to vanish completely.
"Don't worry, I always know how to heal you every time. I will always be here to watch over you and be with you" said the silhouetted, female figure.
He only closed his eyes as he started to feel a relaxing sensation throughout his whole body, he even felt as if his soul was being renewed. The sensation was now causing him to moan in pleasure and before he could even say or do any more, the world around him completely whited out.
It's obvious that this is the prologue to the new Alpha and Omega story, so I hope you enjoyed it. As you will discover in the next part of the story, I already gave you all my message, so I won't repeat myself. Happy Valentines Day.
