(Author's note: Hi! This is my first fanfiction, so... that's pretty cool! I've always wanted to do a fanfiction about this, but I never seemed to get my act together. But then I forced myself to make an account and DO it! Hah! But this is the first chapter of a Beta's quest for an impossible love... enjoy!)
Something Special
"Chapter One"
Hutch paced outside of his den, wondering why it had to be her. Why her? Why did it HAVE to be her? If it were some other Alpha, oh, I don't know... but why did it have to be her? The image of the beautiful, slender, tan-furred Alpha filled his head. Did it have to be Kate...? Hutch's shaggy mane shone in the sun, his unique facial markings distorted by the snarl imprinted on his face. All because of Winston and Tony's stupid argument... now Kate will be marrying Garth to unite the packs! Hutch snarled out loud, seemingly in an endless spiral of hatred and sadness. Winston told Hutch and Hutch alone of his plan. And tonight was the moonlight howl. Another one that Hutch would experience without someone to howl with. The last time I howled at the moonlight howl was when I was a pup! With my siblings, no less! We didn't even know what the true meaning of the moonlight howl meant!
But no, Kate would meet Garth at the moonlight howl, howl together, fall in love, get married, unite the packs... and... And raise a family, no doubt. And where would I be? Still alone. Admired, but still alone. Hutch sat down. He looked at the rising sun. Kate did not know of the plan. Hutch had to do something. He had to do something now. He bolted off before Beta duties began. He had to find Kate. Or else... she'd be lost to him forever. And forever meant... forever. He would not let her slip between his paws, like a fish that he sometimes tried to hunt. A fish! I could impress her by catching a fish! Prove to her that I'm good at a lot of things, so when she meets Garth he won't seem so special. Hah! It's perfect. Hutch stopped, realizing how stupid he sounded. A fish!? No... we don't hunt fish. We hunt caribou. And that means that we won't eat slimy fish. Hutch sighed. But maybe... no. It wouldn't work. Foil their plan? No, I'd be going against not one, but TWO of the Alpha's orders! I can't do that! Hutch got up again. It was the best idea that he had.
I can't do it... can I?
(EEEEEE! I've been wanting to get that story out into the world forever. So there you go! I promise that I'll keep updating, although I will not be able to update next week or the weekend after that. Seems like kind of a bad time to start a story. But I'll update until then! Don't worry, I have lots of plans in mind!)
