The Return (Chapter 1)
'It has been two years' I thought as I was escorted to the pack leader's den by what I assumed to be a new alpha. Her name? Well truth be told I don't think she ever told me. We hadn't exactly been conversing on our way here, though I didn't mind, I had plenty of other things to think about and conversation could wait. Over the last couple of years I had become more of a social recluse, though my omega side did occasionally take the lead. 'I guess that's to be expected when you get betrayed by the one person you ever loved'. As the alpha escorted me to the head alpha's den she would sometimes take brief glances back at me to see if I was still following and not doing anything she deemed wrong. When she wasn't doing that it gave me time to admire her beauty. She had what I presumed to be silky smooth white fur with some spots of black on her face and legs.
As we neared the den she instructed me to wait outside as she informed the head alphas of my arrival. Seeing as it would be awhile before she allowed me entrance I figure now would be a good time to explain my appearance to you. Instead of my mixture of grays and black that I had two years prier, I now had much darker gray fur that some might even think black at first glance. I also had some speckles of light grey on my lower leg. Another thing that altered my original appearance was my constant workout routine that I had adopted over my prolonged vacation from Jasper. This regimen garnered me a much more athletic build with muscles that would rival that of Garth's. Another thing that changed me was my training of my senses. After leaving Jasper to live as a lone wolf I learned pretty quickly that I would have to change if I was going to survive the wild.
I was taken out of my trance when the aforementioned she-wolf come from the den and told me that they would see me now. 'Well time to face the music I guess' I thought as I slipped passed her and into the den. Once inside I was quite pleased to find that Garth was not in attendance, but this was short lived when my eyes come across 'Her'. I allowed myself a second to stare at her before I reeled my emotions back behind my stoic mask. She was sat to the side of her parents staring at me with a glare that said in no uncertain terms that she would not hesitate to attack me. During my second long glance I noticed that her golden-tan fur was as enticing as the day I left. After this thought crossed my mind I mentally slapped myself for letting her get to me like that. Her father was the first to break the silence.
"Who are you and what is your business here?" He asked with a questioning glare. Seeing as I wasn't ready to have them know who I was I decided to make up a fake identity. "My name is Roman, and I came here to ask a question of you." I was glad to see that I had intrigued him with my answer. "Well fell free to ask me whatever it is that's on your mind." He replied with a palpable amount of curiosity seeping into his voice. "I came here to ask if I may join your pack." Once I said this his was lit up for only a second before it returned to his normal scrutinizing glare, but I noticed it instantly. "I'm glad to see that you have no hostile intentions and I believe that you would be a great addition to the pack." As her father said this, my ex-love's face grew a big smirk as telling all that saw her that she approved this decision. 'Oh so I put on a little muscle and she notices me, whatever'. Though I couldn't think about long as her father had just inquired as to what rank I was. "I'm an alpha, sir." The sir part seemed to stroke his ego a bit because I saw a small twitch in his lips as I said it. "We will have Flare over there take you to your new den." After she heard her name, Flare came in and nodded that she knew what her job was.
We walked out of the den and continued along a path that I knew all too well. Once we got to our destination my suspicion was only confirmed. We were standing outside my old den that I had before the two years of traveling. 'Well at least I won't have to find a soft place to sleep' I thought as we made our way into the den. Once she confirmed that I understood that this was my new residence she left without so much as a goodbye, not that I cared. All I cared about was getting to bed to finally wash the day's events out of my mind, and I'm sure she wanted some sleep to.
A/N: So, first chapter down. Tell me what you think, and be honest about it. Did it suck, was it amazing, somewhere in the middle? Tell me in a review, that's what it's there for. This is my first fan fiction though so any tips you may have would be greatly appreciated. I hope that future chapters will be longer, I just wanted the introductions to be out of the way. Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter.
