Chapter 1 New Pup In The Pack

Runt's POV

"YOU GUYS WAIT UP!" I yelled at the top of my lungs at my siblings who were way ahead of me. We were running to our friends Fleet and Magril, we were suppose to meet at their den.

"Well maybe you should go faster!" Claudette yelled back at me as she and Stinky sped up. Sometimes it really sucked being the only omega. By the time I got there they were already playing with each other.

"What took you so long?" Stinky taunted, I flashed him a death stare and stormed off. This wasn't the first time had picked on me because I was the runt of the litter and it was getting old fast. Stupid alphas, I muttered to myself. I began the walk back thinking I could hang out with Daria when I heard rustling in some berry bushes. And saw a small white tail pop out from the bottom of them, except for the occasionally spot of blue juice it was pure white.

"Hey." I said and a pup walked out. His fur was pure white except for his mouth which was blue and some other spots on his fur and paws, his eyes were blood red, and his mane moved towards the left almost hanging in his left eye. He waved, and pointed to the berries. "Um what? Where are you from?" He pointed behind him. I walked past the bushes and found a small cave barely big enough to fit one wolf. "Do you have anyone living with you?" I asked and he shook his head no. I looked back in the direction of my siblings and friends and decided to take this new pup home. "What's your name?" I asked he stopped and grabbed a stick and drew a picture of a rat in the ground. "So it's Rat?" He nodded his head yes. "Follow me." I said and he kept pace with me as we walked back to my den. My parents noticed the new pup and looked confused.

"Um Runt who's your friend?" Mom asked as we walked in.

"This is Rat I found him on my way back, he was eating berries." Dad looked at me funny. As mom questioned him.

"Do you have any family?" He shook his head no. "Where are you from?" He pointed the way we came from. Mom took him outside probably to go see Lilly to either clean him up or to find out why he won't speak.

"Runt I know we allowed Princess and Daria into the pack but a pup?" He said to me.

"Well to be fair I didn't ask you to take him in." I replied my dad rolled his eyes.

"To be fair Daria and Princess are grown wolves who can take care of themselves for the most part." I knew he meant Daria's blindness. "A pup needs a family and to be raised." He replied I knew where he was going with this. After a really long talk Lilly, my mom, and Rat came back. He was cleaned off and still silent.

"Well as far as we can tell he is mute." Lilly stated. She went on to say he was albino which was probably why his pack left him.

"Sp what do we do with him?" Mom asked

"Garth and I could take him in, but I would have to clear it with him first." Lilly suggested much to my mother's surprise.

"Are you sure Lilly?" She asked

"Yes." Lilly went off to find Garth along with my parents giving me time to play with Rat. I moved first and tackled him like I did with my siblings. He caught on quickly and wrestled me to the ground. Before getting off me and running off, I chased after him. We weaved through the trees as fast as we could occasionally bumping into each other.

"Runt slow down!" I looked behind me to see Stinky catching up to me. I stuck my tongue out at him as we went into a turn, Rat went to fast and crashed coming out of it. While the rest of us preformed the spin out and ran to see if he was ok.

"Rat are you hurt?" I asked as he stood up, he shook his head no.

"Who is this?" Claudette asked after I explained everything to them, they were skeptical but I guess it came with being an alpha. They tried getting him to talk for the next several minutes.

"None of this is working." Fleet said

"Maybe he actually is mute." Stinky replied as Lilly, Garth, and my mom walked over to us.

"Hello Rat we met earlier do you remember?" Aunt Lilly asked Rat nodded his head yes. "This is my husband Garth and my sister Kate." Rat nodded to show he was following along with them. "If you want you can stay with me and my husband in the tall grass." Rat nodded once again and walked off with them.

"It's getting late Fleet, you and Magril should probably be going home." Mom said

"See you tomorrow guys." Fleet said and he and his sister ran off.
