So I love Alpha and Omega…I will admit I didn't think I'd like the idea of anthropomorphic wolves but the movies have grown on me.
So when I first watched the movie the first thing I thought was…How did Humphrey only like Kate? Lily was beautiful…even more than Kate (In my opinion) How could he have never noticed her? (Then again it might be because Lily was a really shy wolf and Kate was outgoing…but still!)
So as you can imagine I was a HumphreyXLily fan when I first watched the movie…I was kind of annoyed that there was only one scene where she interacted with Humphrey in the first movie and it was horribly brief…( I think that might have been intentional…)
When I watched it a second time however I did understand and start to like Kate and Humphrey… and I've liked all the movies with their pups and I love their pups…especially Runt he's so cute and funny.
So I decided to make an Alpha and Omega story…
I wondered….What if Humphrey wasn't born to the Western Pack?
And thus the birth of this story… This is my first Alpha and Omega story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Alpha & Omega or any of the main characters except for the Characters I created…
Chapter 1
A brownish gray wolf, trekked strongly through the rain and mud. It had been a long day of scouting and patrolling, and the wolf was exhausted. He couldn't wait to get back to his mate and son who he expected to be waiting for him. He could almost hear his mate's warm voice in his ears and could almost see his son enthusiastically greeting him as he entered the den. Just the thought of seeing them, convinced him to pick up his pace to head back to his den and family.
A fearful howl suddenly reached his ears. His ears swiveled as he searched for the direction of the sound. His nose picking up the scent of fresh blood, causing his pelt to stand on end. He broke off into a run, his paws flying over the ground as he grew closer to the sound. It wasn't long before he broke through a wall of bushes, skidding to a halt into a clearing. A small gray pup was curled up into a frightened ball of fur, he was crouched beside what looked to be a log, from what the male wolf could see from the glance he made in the rain. He was focused on the pup that he almost missed the wall of fur in his peripheral vision.
A fearsome roar, ripped him from his thoughts and he turned his attention to the large bear that stood in the clearing, roaring in his direction. The wolf leaped and placed himself in between the pup and the bear. He growled lowly, letting his displeasure be heard. As his throat rumbled with throaty growl, it mixed with the crashing thunder amongst the rain, as it continued to pour into the clearing. The bear snorted in response and seemed to glare over his shoulder at the small pup. The wolf snapped his jaws at the mighty beast, hoping to draw the creature's attention back to him, not wanting the bear to focus on the pup. The bear's gaze flickered back to the wolf and to the surprise of the wolf, the bear turned around and began to limp away from them.
For the first time the wolf noticed that bear had bite marks and scratches along his legs and muzzle, as well as a tear in his ear…the wounds all of them… were fresh…And he realized why the bear was hesitant to attack again, he had already had to deal with a wolf, and didn't want to tangle with another. He looked curiously around for another wolf, but didn't see one. He turned his attention instead to the small pup.
As he approached the pup, he realized why he hadn't seen another wolf. He realized that the log the pup was currently crouched besides nuzzling, had dark gray fur, a muzzle, four legs, a bushy tail and two triangular ears. It was a wolf…an injured female wolf. The beaten wolf was littered with scratches and a long deep gash along her side. He came to stand beside the young pup. The pup leaned into the hurt wolf, nudging her gently with his nose.
"Mommy…Are you alright?" asked a quiet voice. The wolf saw the injured wolf open her eyes. They were a beautiful shade of blue, and were clouded with overwhelming sadness… 'She knows she isn't going to make it…' he thought with a sad shake of his head. He looked closer at the small pup. He was a dark gray like his mother, and also had the same beautiful blue eyes.
"I'm sorry my love…" Her voice trembled as her body shook with pain and grief, "I-I… h-have to leave you…"
"B-but why mommy?" squeaked the little voice, the pup's little body trembled as he curled into her broken body. The small pup's pelt becoming damp with the blood of his mother. She didn't answer him instead she focused on the reddish brown wolf standing over her. Her eyes pleaded with him as they locked with his own eyes.
"Will you c-care for h-him?" she asked the wolf. The wolf looked at her broken down body and her trembling son, and in that moment his mind travelled to the thought of his own mate and son. Both were waiting for him right now. He wondered what his mate would think of this. He knew in that moment what she would do. His sweet, gentle, kind-hearted mate, she wouldn't turn away any wolf in need, and this wolf needed his help more than ever.
"Yes, I will." He breathed softly, as he touched his nose to her pelt in reassurance.
"T-thank y-you," her breathing was labored and her gaze started to become unfocussed.
"No mommy, don't go please." Cried the little pup, almost burrowing into her torn bloody pelt.
"I-I'm s-so so-sorry," she breathed through the pain, her body shook with the effort to speak. "b-be b-brave m-my…" The female wolf's eyes dulled as she breathed her last breath. He body stilled, no longer trembling from the overwhelming pain. The red wolf, closed her eyes, gently sweeping his paw over them.
"Mommy? MOMMY!?" howled the small pup. He buried his nose into the pelt of his mother sniffing softly. He continued to tremble, whether from fear or sadness or the cold, the wolf was sure, but he suspected it might be all of the above.
"I'm sorry, little one." The wolf whispered to the small pup. "I'll take care of you for now okay?" The little pup looked up to the large wolf, his eyes glistening with sadness. He glance down at his mother's still form, then returned his gaze to the wolf.
"O-okay," the pup sniffed again, lying down in the rain with his nose still buried in the bloody pelt of his fallen mother.
"Come with me, little one, there is nothing more we can do for her." The wolf told the pup, beckoning him to follow with a swish of his tail. For a moment the pup didn't move from his place curled up beside his mother. Then the little pup rose to his paws slowly, his tail and ears drooping as he moved to follow the large wolf. He followed the wolf slowly out of the clearing. He pause once briefly to look back at him mother one more time.
"Goodbye mommy," whispered the pup softly. The two wolves traveled in silence, the pelts getting soaked in the rain. The young pup trembled from the cold rain that poured upon his pelt.
The soon reached a clearing, the scent of wolves was faint around the clearing. As the wolf entered the clearing he realized his young charge was not behind him any longer. He looked back and spotted the small pup hidden shyly in the bushes. He beckoned for the pup to follow once more and after a moment of hesitation the young pup followed. They made their way toward a large den, with thick briar bushes that flanked each side of the den. The brown wolf marched toward the den eager to see his mate and his pup. With the thought of his own son, he glanced back at the little pup. The pup was tired he could see, soaked to the bone from the rain and he could still see a little bit of blood that clung to the small pups pelt. He nudged the young pup toward the entrance. Trembling the pup stepped forward, looking into the dark den.
"Dad your Home!" called a voice from within the den. In an instant, a reddish brown pup came barreling his way out of the den to tackle the wolf. The Wolf let out a chuckle at his son's enthusiasm.
"Welcome home dear," spoke a warm voice. The Wolf looked up and saw a beautiful white wolf looking at him and his son with much affection. He saw her eyes blink rapidly in surprise at the sight of the little pup. He could see the concern in her eyes as she spotted the blood that still clung to the pups pelt.
"Come in all of you out of this rain." She told them, ushering in both of the pups quickly almost with urgency. She stepped cautiously forward, doing her best not to startle the little pup, and began to check him over for injuries. His own son also took notice of the pup as well.
"What is your name?" asked his mate gently, after she had finished. The pup sniffed a little before murmuring his name softly. Too soft to hear. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"
"Humphrey,"
"It's nice to meet you Humphrey, my name is Sonya." His mate spoke soothingly, she leaned down and gave a gentle lick to the pup's head. "What were you doing out in the rain?"
"My mother and I were on are way back to our den, when we were attacked by a bear. My mother tried to calm the bear and stop him from being agitated but it wouldn't calm down. My mom and the bear fought…And she…" Humphrey started to tremble and his eyes became misty.
"Oh you poor thing, "Sonya breathed she sat beside Humphrey and wrapped her tail protectively around him. "Where is your father?"
"He's gone…Mother said he was gone before I was born…It was just me and my mother for as long as I can remember." The wolf felt an ache in his heart as he listen to the pups words. He was all alone now that his mother had died. As if his mate had heard his words she responded almost immediately.
"We can't leave him on his own we just can't." Sonya told her mate fiercely. She glared stubbornly into his eyes as if she dared him to tell her they couldn't care for the pup.
"Of course he'll stay, I promised his mother I would care for him." He spoke soothingly to his mate. Sonya blinked in approval, then leaned down and nuzzled the young pup.
"We will care for you now, we will be your family." She told the pup. Humphrey wagged his tail and gave a faint smile as he nuzzled the white wolf. "If you like I will be your mother, I don't think I could ever replace your brave mother, nor do I want to but I would be honored if you would call me mother, but only if you are comfortable."
"Does this me I get a brother?" piped up a voice. The wolf had almost forgot that his son was even there.
"Of course, my son, this is your new brother Humphrey." The reddish pup trotted up to Humphrey and sniffed at him a little.
"So… is this how wolves get pups?" asked the reddish pup with a curious tilt of his head. Before either of the adults could respond. Humphrey quickly spoke up.
"Of course not, don't you know pups are brought to packs by Geese?" Humphrey jumped in suddenly to the conversation. Sonya covered her muzzle with her paw to keep herself from laughing at the confusion in her son's eyes.
"Geese?"
"Of course, that's why pups only show up in the spring time, because that's when the geese come by." Humphrey supplied. "But its top secret only a few wolves know about so let's keep it between us okay?" The reddish pup nodded enthusiastically. Sonya laughed long and hard, The Wolf seemed less amused by the pup's response.
"What a funny little omega," she cooed softly as she lovingly brushing her paw over his ears.
"What else do you know?" asked their son curiously, cocking his head to the side at Humphrey.
"I think it's time for bed, why don't you show Humphrey where you sleep?"
"Okay, come on Humphrey." Called the pup, racing further into the Den, Humphrey not far behind.
"It's been so long since I've had a good laugh. " Sonya remarked softly, as she watched her two pups' race off. "He'll be good for us… and our son."
"An omega though?" questioned the wolf, "We're both Alphas, as is our son…"
"And even Alphas needed to remember to laugh again every once and awhile." Sonya reminded him. "Alphas and Omegas will always need each other, they might not be the same in thoughts or actions, but they will always need each other to live a full life."
"I suppose so…"
"Come let's go tuck them in." she called to him as she trekked further into the den. She found the two pups lying side by side near the back of the cave. The two were curled up on a small caribou pelt. Sonya licked each of them gently on the head. Whispering goodnight to them both. Which they responded back just as warmly. As he watched them he realize Sonya was right, both of them were his pups, Alpha or Omega they were his. 'Welcome to the Eastern Pack Humphrey.' Thought the Wolf as he also bid them goodnight and headed off to settle down beside his mate to sleep. As he moved to curl up beside his mate he heard his pups say one last thing.
"Goodnight Humphrey,"
"Goodnight Garth."
Okay what does everyone think?
Do you think I should spend a lot of time with them as little pups? Or should I start the next chapter where the movie starts?
