Of wolves and foxes

Chapter 1

Runt's POV

"Runt get in here!" My mom yelled at me, I was covered in mud and she wasn't to happy at me. "How did you get this muddy!" I gulped.

"Well you see mom…" I started to talk till my siblings interrupted.

"It was a dare and Magril was watching." Claudette giggled and I shot her a look.

"So you did this to impress a girl?" Mom replied and I growled at Claudette.

"No I didn't and Claudette was off with Fleet by herself." I shot back as dad walked in.

"She was what?" He asked sounding sort of upset. My sister shot me a look as my brother chimed in.

"With Fleet on the ledge." He snickered and Claudette shot a look now at him.

"It's not like we did anything." She explained annoyed.

"No way I saw you and him kiss!" I said and quickly covered my mouth flinging mud on my parents.

"You two what?" They said in unison and Claudette got embarrassed.

"I...um he….um…." She started to get flustered. "STINKY PUSHED RUNT INTO A MUD PIT!" She yelled and they turned their attention to Stinky.

"STINKY!" THey yelled out

"He told me too so he could impress Magril!" he yelled back their attention turning back to me.

"Claudette no seeing Fleet for a week, Stinky no alpha training for a week, and Runt get cleaned up and you're grounded for a week!" Mom finally said.

"What!?" All three of us yelled. "That's not fair!"

"That's final." Dad said and all three of us groaned loudly. I walked off and started cleaning off my fur and overheard mom talking to dad.

"I'm going to go tell Nars what's going on between them." Dad said

"That might be a good idea." Mom replied and dad started to walk off. My siblings ran out of the den and it wasn't long before we were fighting among each other.

"How could you tell them Runt!" Claudette yelled at me

"I panicked!" I answered back and she growled tackling me into the sticker bushes. I tried to push her off though through all the rolling around and struggling it wasn't long till our fur was a mess. She growled as she pulled out of the thorns.

"Claudette, Runt knock it off." Stinky said she turned to face me.

"I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!" She yelled and it hurt, I whined backing up into the sticker bushes and Stinky looked at her in awe.

"Claudette!" He came to my defense and she looked at him.

"DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T ALSO WANT IT!" She screamed I knew she was upset about the punishment. Stinky growled and pounced on her, the two rolled on the ground fighting each other.

"CLAUDETTE, STINKY!" Mom yelled loudly seeing the two but they were to carried away fighting, mom grabbed Claudette and dad got Stinky.

"THEY STARTED IT!" They yelled in unison.

"I don't care who started it you're both in trouble!" Dad replied

We were put back into the den my siblings got another week on their punishments. Claudette wasn't speaking to me anymore and Stinky wasn't to thrilled at me either. I sat in the back of the den, occasionally Claudette would look over at me and scoff sticking her nose up. Mom and dad were talking about stuff outside as Stinky looked over at me.

"Told you, you should've cleaned up before coming home." He said before walking off and laying down in a corner. I couldn't believe they were blaming all this stuff on me, I wanted to get away from them

Chapter 1 Runaway

It had been a week and things weren't even close to being patched up with us mom and dad saw this and took the rest of our punishment off. Mom was teaching Claudette and Stinky some of her tricks today and I was left at home with dad.

"Dad?' I sat next to him as he watched mom train them.

"Oh hey Runt something up?" he asked me

"Would it have been better if I was an alpha?" I asked and he looked at me confused.

"Oh I get it you miss out with being with Stinky and Claudette how about you join them." He gestured for me to go and ran over which quickly turned out to be a mistake, seeing how they were in the middle of doing a spin out. They slammed right into me and we rolled out into a tree. At the same time Nars was bringing over Fleet apparently, and it all happened in front of him.

"RUNT!" They both yelled and I gulped mom quickly rushing over and dad going to intercept Nars.

"You two behave." Mom hissed at the two and they nodded, they walked off with Fleet. I followed after them and Claudette turned around after we were out of our parent's range of hearing.

"Alphas only Runt." She said as they went off.

"Fine! I'll just go off and have fun on my own then!" I yelled at them before running off into the forest. I kept running till I slipped and fell into a river. I grabbed ahold of a log so I floated down a little ways before hitting the bank. I looked around and grabbed a nearby stick and put in the ground.

"Stupid siblings...from now on I'll show I'm just a good as any alpha." I said aloud as I sat down. I looked around now realizing I hadn't been this far down the river. I saw a grey tail with a white tip flew out from next to me. I ran and hid in the bushes as a grey fox walked out and started drinking from the river.

"Ugh I hate mornings." he said before stretching out. I saw a tan field mouse dark from behind him and jump on his snout.

"There's a wolf cub here." He said and the fox groaned.

"I thought wolve's only stayed by that valley thing." The fox said sniffing the air. "Come on out kid I won't bite."
