A/N: So, this will be a little different from my other stories, for one thing it's not gonna be anthro, and both Kate and Humphrey are alphas. Please enjoy! (And in this story, they go to alpha school at two years old, and come back six months later)
TheRavenMocker has a story like this on his page, (Alpha and Alpha) but this will be very different.
Chapter One: Forbidden and Forgotten
As I bounded through the dense forest dodging trees and rocks, all I could bring my mind to was home. Well, what was my home. Thinking about what had just happened brought a tear to my eye… many tears.
*Twenty Minutes Earlier*
"Humphrey dad's back, and he brought dinner!" My older sister, Ally yelled out the door of my family's den. "I'll be in soon, gimme like two seconds!" I yelled back. I turned back to my best friend Jake.
"She is only a year old, only ten months older than me and she thinks she can boss me around." I huffed. "Well, she is your older sister… she has some authority over you." Jake said. "You just think she hot." I retorted.
"Well kinda…" Jake said nervous, as if I'd ever hurt him. "Jake, she's an omega, and she's also over twice your age." I said, hoping he wouldn't go for my sister. "Humphrey! Dad is back, get in here now!" Ally screamed a little harsher. "Fine!" I said back.
"See ya J." I said, using his first initial. "See ya later H, have fun with your sister." He said, mouth open and drooling. "Dude you're gonna get a bug in your mouth." I said walking up the slope to my den. Jake ran off to his den.
"Hey Mom, hey Dad." I said with a smile. Mom had dark grey fur with silver streaks in it. Dad was tan, with a lot of white on his stomach. Ally took after him with her fur.
"What took so long Humphrey?" Ally said condescendingly. "None of your damn business!" I yelled. "Humphrey! Language!" Dad bellowed.
"Sorry Dad." I said. "No more cursing! You're two months old not two years!" Mom added. "Ok, I won't do it again." I said frowning. "Good." Dad said.
"Your father brought some Caribou home for dinner." Mom said. "Thanks Dad." I said, grabbing a piece of meat from the hind quarter and laying down on my side of the den.
I started eating, when Ally came over to me and grabbed my piece of meat. (That's what she said)
"Ally what the fuck!?" I yelled, chasing after her. "Humphrey, what did we say about cursing?!" Dad yelled, storming into the room.
"But Dad! She too-" "I don't care what she did!" He said, raising a paw to hit me.
"I think the curse was necessary." A mysterious wolf said from the front of our den. From dad's look, he wasn't a good wolf either, but he seemed ok… he saved me.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Dad asked the stranger. "What happened to no cursing?" The wolf asked slyly.
"Fuck off!" Dad said. "Ally, take Humphrey to the back room!" He added. "No no no, let him stay… he'll want to see his dad get his ass handed to him." He said smirking.
Hearing this comment, dad jumped forward, and stopped abruptly and fell down. I noticed the strange wolves claw was red. I looked down at dad, and there was a pool of a crimson red substance coming from his throat… blood.
I rushed to his side, and tried to cover the wound, but it was too late… my dad is gone… I hated him seconds ago, but now he is gone… how could I hate him now. I began to cry, and I looked up to the strange wolf.
Ally was on his back, like she was on a Caribou. He threw her off, and latched onto her throat. She closed her eyes slowly… my sister fell victim to the same wolf my father had.
The next thing I knew, mom came tearing out of the back room of the den. She jumped onto his back and knocked him down.
I rushed into help, and as he bit her, I latched onto his neck. He clamped down on her neck, and I let out a tear, but never let go. He couldn't get away with this. He fell to the floor, and when he stopped twitching I let go.
"Hey Jaz you ok?" A brown wolf said, walking into the den with a grey wolf. "What the hell?" The grey one said. "You're dead kid!" The brown one screamed, and started chasing after me.
I ran into the back room, and snuck through a tunnel just big enough to fit me. I had made it to escape from Ally when she was mean to me, but now it had a different purpose. The brown wolf stuck his head through the small opening, but was not able to fit. They had to walk around the mountain now, giving me about a five minute head start. I ran into the woods, not looking back.
*Present*
I began to cry, running as fast as I could through the woods. I heard steps behind me, and I made the mistake of looking back. I saw the two wolves about ten feet behind me, and I crashed into a tree.
"You put up a good chase, until that happened!" The brown wolf laughed. He picked me up by the scruff of the neck. "Are you just gonna throw him off a cliff?" The grey one asked, and I felt the wolf holding me nod his head.
They began walking away and I thought it was over. Just then, a voice bellowed through the woods. "What are you doing on Eastern Land?" A masculine voice said. "We came to get a lost pup." The grey one said, trying to lie. "Help... they killed my family!" I managed to say, before drifting out of consciousness.
I woke up a few times after that, and I saw a few things. A tan wolf attacking a brown wolf. Two grey wolves fighting, and a grey and brown wolf in a pile, dead.
I remember being carried back to a den, and falling asleep there.
*one year and four months later*
I woke up as the sun flooded my new den with light. I stood and stretched out my legs, hearing cracks from them. I had just finished this den, and was finally learning to deal with my parent's and sister's death. The night Winston and Eve rescued me became a blur in my mind.
As my mind went back, trying to remember, my new best friend walked in.
"Hey Humphrey!" Kate called out. "Hey Kate!" I said, walking over to her .
"So, six months 'til alpha school." She said. "I know, I'm so excited to go!" I exclaimed, almost jumping up and down.
"So, wanna have some fun until then?" She asked, walking closer to me. "Only Hell yeah!" I yelled, arguably a little too loud.
"So I guess your den is finally done." Kate said, taking a look around. There were roots along the sides of the den, and hanging from the ceiling. The main room and the entrance split into three rooms, one with a little spring in it, one with what would be my bed when I finally killed a caribou and got its pelt, and one for eating.
Kate took a look at my den, while I snuck a look at her. She was the most beautiful girl in the pack, only contested by Lily, Kate's twin sister.
She had beautiful tan fur, and hypnotizing amber eyes. And as if that wasn't enough, her curves would make any wolf melt.
I stared at her, admittedly a little creepy, but it was Kate. I was mesmerized by her beauty. And her personality perfected everything. She was caring, loveable, and even funny at times. I had a huge crush on her. I just wish I saw Winston walk in while I was staring.
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, intentionally loud to get my attention.
"Humphrey, can I see you outside for a minute?" He asked while staring me down.
"Uhh, sure." I said nervously. He walked outside my den, and I followed closely. "Humphrey, I know you like Kate." He said, and paused. "What? Psh, no!" I said, not very convincingly.
What he said next devastated me. "You may like her, but you can't have her. She is destined to marry Tony's son, Garth, and unite the packs. And don't you tell her this either, or I will use my power as head alpha to banish you." He said, making me angrier than I had ever been, because I think Kate likes me too.
My rage grew, until he left and Kate came back. She can calm me down no matter how angry I am. She knew me so well, I love her so much, and I can never be with her. "So what did you talk about?" She asked. "Alpha school and stuff." I lied. "Ok, well do you wanna go for a swim?" She asked.
"Fuck yeah!" I shouted. "I'll race you there!" She said, taking off. I quickly caught up to and passed her. As I reached the pond, I turned around and smirked. "Haha! I win!" I yelled.
"Yeah, I guess you do." She said, looking a little sad. "Ah come on Kate, it's ok." I said, attempting to comfort her. Her frown grew into a devilish smile, and she tackled me into the water.
"Haha, now I win!" She said, looking confident. "Yeah, I guess you win Kate." I said, snaking a paw around her back leg, and pulling her into the pond with me. She sighed knowing I had won our little battle. But the whole time, my mind kept going back to what Winston had said. 'You may like her, but you can't have her. She is destined to marry Tony's son, Garth, and unite the packs.' His voice rang in my head like an echo in a cave… if that echo was a nightmare.
I can't believe he would do that to Kate… make her marry a complete stranger over the one she loves. I don't know if she loves me, but either way it is wrong. But it's also out of my control… I can't risk getting banished from the pack.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Kate said, completely unaware of her own destiny. But destiny is what you make it right? No, not for her. Hers was spelled out by her father. And I couldn't do a thing about it.
"Eh, I don't know… wanna find Lily and go log sledding?" I asked. "Yeah! That sounds fun, can you go get Hutch?" She asked, making her 'puppy dog' eyes. "Yeah, I'll go get him, wanna meet at that hill over there?" I asked, pointing a paw at a large hill in the distance. "Yeah, see you there!" Kate said, bolting into the woods to find Lily.
'Holy shit… I love her much…' I thought, walking away to find Hutch. I started to jog, gradually making my way to a sprint. My den was in a clearing near the west border of the pack, and Hutch's was in the main area of the pack, near the head alpha den. Hutch and Kate were my best friends here, and basically anywhere. I barely remember Jake, and he's most likely dead. Those two were the only ones who really accepted me when I first came here.
As I neared his den, I saw Winston on top of the cliff by his den. He stared at me with a stern look.
"He never liked me." I grumbled to myself, a little too loudly. "That's 'cause you have a thing for his daughter." Hutch said, walking up to me. "Oh… I uh… yeah that's true." I said, letting out a nervous chuckle.
"So what's going on Humphrey?" Hutch asked. "Oh yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to go log sledding." I said, looking at Hutch's face. "Yeah, sure!" He said excitedly. "But is Kate gonna be there? And Lily?" He said "Lily" extra happily.
"Yeah, and I know you like Lily." I told him, receiving a blank stare. "I… uh don't like Lily." He said, but I wasn't buying it. I raised my eyebrow at him.
"Fine, I like her… and I know she's an omega, and it will break the pack law." He said, hanging his head in shame.
"Fuck the pack law!" I yelled. "Be with who you love!" I added. Hutch was shocked I felt this way. "I figured you'd follow the law." He mumbled. "Dude no, that's a shitty law! And I know how you feel not being allowed to be with the one you love." I said, hanging my head.
"Dude, Kate's an alpha. You can be with he-" "No, Winston is a dick… he is forcing her to marry Tony's son." I said, shaking with anger.
"That's cold…" Hutch said. "You can't tell him I told you, and don't tell Kate, or I'll be castrated on the spot by Winston." I said, causing Hutch to laugh.
"Well, we better get going." He said. "Yeah, wanna race?" I asked, crouching down into my takeoff position. "Yeah, ready? Go!" Hutch said, taking off. I waited at the start, I knew I was faster than him. He hit the woods and I took off, showing my extreme speed by catching him in seconds, dodging trees and rocks. I got next to him and slowed down. "Hey look, its another win for me!" I yelled.
"We'll see about that!" Hutch said, kicking it into high gear, and speeding up. I caught up to him again, and laughed. Then I cranked it to high gear and left him in the dust. I ran through the woods and hit the clearing by my den.
I reached my den, and stopped. I waited, and about thirty seconds later Hutch broke through the woods into the clearing. "Damn… you're… fucking… fast." Hutch panted, out of breath. "You're out of breath?" I asked. Hutch just looked at me and grumbled. "Show off."
"Yup, that's me! Let's just walk the rest of the way." I said, noticing that Hutch was tired. "Yeah that… sounds good." He said, his pants slowing down. We took a slow walk across a field with lots of bright flowers. I admired then and thought about the girl I loved, Kate.
I hate Winston with everything I have… he is keeping me from Kate. And I couldn't do anything.
We reached the top of the hill and saw Lily and Kate standing next to two halves of a hollow log. "Hey guys!" I said, running up to them. Lily blushed when she saw Hutch.
"You should hit that." Kate whispered to her. "He's an alpha Kate!" Lily whispered.
"Hey Kate. Hey Lil!" Hutch said, staring at Lily. "Hi!" Lily squeaked, blushing at how high her voice was. "Holy shit, I think you just went supersonic!" I joked. Lily turned more red than she was already.
"So, are we racing then?" I asked. "Yeah, you and I versus Lily and Hutch." Kate said, running past me to the log, her tail running under my chin.
'Fuck, she's torturing me! I wonder if she feels the same way.' I thought, getting into the log behind her. I looked at Hutch and Lily. "Call it Lil!" I yelled over to her. "Alright, go!" She screamed as we kicked off and started going down the hill. Kate rolled back into me and rested on my chest. She was the girl of my dreams.
This was gonna be a good six months.
*Six Months Later*
I ran alongside Kate, heading to the head alpha den. Today was the big day, Alpha school and we were late. I slept in and Kate came to wake me up.
"Ya think Dad's gonna be pissed?" Kate asked, running along beside me. "Uh, not certainly… but yeah, he's gonna kill us." I joked, getting a laugh from Kate. We reached the den, and saw about thirty other alphas in front of it, while Winston was on the ledge above them going over rules and stuff.
"Maybe he won't see us." I said, trying to stay positive. We snuck into the crowd, moving to Hutch, who was sitting by a couple of wolves I wasn't too fond of. "Hey dude." I whispered. "Shh, he's explaining the rules. I couldn't get through that with a straight face." He said, chuckling. "Yeah, he really can go on and on about rules." Kate said.
"And we are going to be departing in about fifteen minutes! Be ready!" Winston shouted. Hutch, Kate and I looked at each other. "Wanna say bye to Lil?" I asked. "Yeah." "Sure." They said. We walked up to the den.
"Hey Lil, we came to say bye!" Kate said. "I'll see you guys when you get back!" Lily said. "See you Lil." I said. "By Lil!" Kate said. "Bye Lily." Hutch said, staring into her beautiful eyes.
"I'll see you later!" She yelled as we walked down the slope of the den.
"Alphas! It's time to depart for the training grounds!" Winston yelled through the pack.
I looked at Kate. She seemed to be excited, but she was nervous about something. "What's the matter Kate?" I asked. "Nothing… oh not nothing, you know me too damn well. I'm really scared about not passing alpha school." She said. "Kate, you're the best alpha I know, you're gonna do fine. And if Candu can pass it, anyone can, even the Omegas." I said, making her laugh. "Thank you, you always know how to cheer me up." She said.
"Any time, now let's go become alphas!" I shouted, running along with the rest of the alphas.
A/N: So that was the first chapter! Please tell me what you thought! I'll do the next update when this hits three reviews!
Today's Lyrics:
My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my
chick
In the worst kind of way"
She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay
at home
Well my friend
You gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't you get a job
