Jesus Christ almighty…I need to take a break from writing new stories and finish writing old ones. I decided to edit and rewrite my wolf story seeing as though I thought it was terrible and should have more effort in what I put into it this time than last time. Consider this Life of a Wolf 1.5 HD Remix.
It was a bright sunny day in Jasper Park, the spring had just arrived, and Tristan had woken up in his den and walked out before stretching.
The sun beat down on his dark brown fur as he came out his den and looked around to see wolves walking around.
He walked over to his omega friends and sat down with them, "Hey guys what's up?"
Salty had looked at him and smirked, "We are going to show you the time of your life tonight!"
Shakey and Mooch started laughing.
Tristan looked at Salty and soon saw Humphrey walk up, "There you are Humphrey…Salty is being weird again."
Humphrey looked at Salty then Tristan, "What did he say?"
Salty cleared his throat, "I just told him how we will show him the time of his life tonight."
Mooch shook his head, "No wonder Tristan think its weird. You make it sound like we are going to be the ones making his time great."
Humphrey laughed, "Guys, come on. It's his first moonlit howl…it will be fine."
"Easy for you to say. You have a mate." Salty said looking at Humphrey.
Tristan gasped, "Moonlit howl! That's tonight? You lied to me!"
Humphrey covered his mouth and looked at the omegas who were glaring at him.
"Way to ruin the surprise Humphrey." Shakey said while Tristan looked at all of them.
"Wait…you were all in on it?" He asked unsure of how he should feel.
"Yeah but we had the best intentions." Salty said putting an arm around Tristan.
Tristan sighed, "Guys…you know there aren't any betas in this pack. I don't think any females would find me being a be ok. Hell I'm not ok with that."
"Hey Tristan, don't be so negative. I'm sure you will find someone like you." Humphrey said smiling.
Tristan scoffed, "I doubt it. Other wolves in this pack look at me like I have some sort of disorder or amalgamation."
Salty cleared his throat, "Well, let's go log riding to clear our heads and calm down."
Everyone agreed but Humphrey stayed back, "Well Kate woke up acting a little more seductive than usual…I think she might want me in the den."
Tristan and the rest all looked at each other then back to Humphrey, "What are you waiting for? Go hit that!"
Humphrey smirked and started to walk away but looked back at them, "And don't kill Tristan, please."
Everyone including Tristan himself laughed at the joke.
They rest of the gang got further into the woods and up their hill to the top.
"Let's have a race." Tristan said to everyone else while smirking.
"How will that work?" Shakey said looking at the slope then to Tristan.
"It will be a team-based thing. Mooch and I against you and Salty. First team down, gets to tell the losers what to do for the rest of the day." He said while he and Mooch pushed a log at the slope and got on.
Salty and Shakey did the same and waited, "Ready when you are."
Tristan looked at Mooch and nodded before looking at Salty, "GO!"
Sledding
Mooch pushed our log onto the slope and I smirked knowing Salty and Shakey were eating our dust, "How do you like the view of Mooch's tail?"
Mooch tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the left side of us where I saw them catching up.
"Damn!" I said looking at Mooch before nodding to him.
He leaned to our left side making us hit the others.
I glanced at Mooch for a second and grinned, "Mooch…slam down on the back of the log when I tell you."
We both saw an upcoming ramp and I waved my paw in the air as we got to the middle of it, "NOW!" I shouted.
Mooch threw his paws into the log making us fly higher in the air.
He flipped while I spun with my paws behind my head.
We landed back in our log but this time we were in the trees riding.
I looked under us but couldn't see Salty or Shakey.
Mooch tapped me and when I looked, the trees ran out and we fell off them.
I hit the ground on my face and grunted as Mooch landed on top of me with a loud "OOF!"
"Mooch get of me! You aren't exactly light you know!" I said gasping for air as he got off me and helped me up.
"Wow… do my eyes deceive me, or did Tristan just lose?" Salty bragged while walking over to me.
3rd Person
Tristan groaned as he and Mooch had to pay the price for losing.
"Yeah you can be an asshole about it later… what do we have to do." He looked at mooch and mouthed the words I'm sorry.
Salty wasted no time handing Tristan his punishment, "Go to the moonlit howl tonight."
Tristan groaned.
"Yep… no other option." Salty smirked.
Tristan glared at him, "How about any other option? Any at all?"
Salty shook his head, "No use trying to put the brakes on this one buddy. It's going down tonight."
Tristan looked to the sky and saw it was about noon.
He pleaded with Salty and Sharkey, "Come on… you know I get awkward around cute girls."
They laughed but reassured him, "Don't worry Tristan… we got you covered."
Tristan rolled his eyes and walked back to the valley with the rest of the group.
Once they got back to the valley, it was starting to get late and Tristan was hoping then night would be over quick.
Humphrey had come up behind Tristan and tapped him, "You ok, buddy?"
Tristan yelped and tackled Humphrey pinning him to the ground.
"Woah!" Humphrey said as he was held down.
Tristan realized who it was and got off, "Sorry, Humphrey. I'm just a little on edge."
Humphrey smirked and got up, "It's fine… your first howl… can be tense but don't worry."
Tristan sighed, "But you have a mate to go with… same with Salty and Mooch. I don't have anyone…I am a nobody to this pack."
Humphrey was shocked, "That's not true, don't say that."
Tristan looked at him, "Ok… let's apply logic. Other than you, Mooch, Salty, and Sharkey, who else in this pack knows me…"
Humphrey cut him off and smirked, "Winston, Tony, Kate, Lilly, Garth, and Eve."
"by name?" Tristan finished.
Humphrey thought it over and looked around, "Kate?"
Tristan shook his head, "I am a walking shadow in this pack and you know it."
He and Humphrey argued for quite a while before Salty and Mooch broke them up.
"It's time you guys." Salty said to them.
They got ready and headed out while Tristan tried his best to be invisible in hopes he could sneak off.
Moonlit Howl
The group got the Howling Rock and saw the multiple females around.
"Well Tristan, who do you think would like you the most?" Humphrey asked making a paw motion to the rest of the group to go.
"I don't know…" Tristan said.
After a while of looking at different females, Kate had arrived and found Humphrey.
"Tristan can I steal Humphrey from you?" She said giggling which really surprised him.
"How do you know my name?" He asked a little confused.
"Humphrey mentions your name quite a bit." She said smiling and getting close to her mate.
Tristan nodded and told Humphrey that he would see him tomorrow.
He watched Humphrey walk off and walked around the monumental rock seeing and hearing multiple wolves howl.
Every time he spoke, he would sound like a babbling mess or froze.
Some of the females were already taken but the others were not interested in him because he was acting weird.
Jealousy was to the max for Tristan and he walked off from the rock only to run into Lilly and Garth.
"Sorry guys…I just got to get out of here." Tristan said pushing past them.
He ran from the Howling Rock and back into the Valley where he saw the pack interacting with each other.
In the Valley
They saw him and wondered what was going on.
Winston and Tony went to his den to check on him, "Hey Tristan… what happened."
Tristan looked at Winston with tears in his eyes, "It's not fair! Why does no one like me?! Why doesn't anyone like me!?"
Both alphas looked at each other, "What do you mean? What happened?" Tony asked.
Tristan looked at them, "No one likes me because I'm a disgrace! My own parents didn't want me and left me to die because I'm a freak!"
Winston shook his head, "That's not true…I'm sure they were trying to protect you."
Tristan glared at him, "They left me in the snow and left! How is that protecting me!"
He walked out of his den and saw the group, "Leave me alone!"
Tristan then ran off into the woods to be alone and let his anger out.
He screamed, barked, and howled before crying.
"It's not fair…not fair…why am I like this?" He laid on his side and cried to the point of making a puddle where his head is.
"I wish it would be over…why can't I just…" He stopped himself and looked around hearing rustling.
He started growling and backed himself against a tree only to see Lilly and Garth come out.
"Easy Tristan, we only just want to talk." Lilly said making Tristan a little uneasy.
"I'm done talking! I don't want to talk to anyone anymore!" Tristan, had finally snapped.
"Look, Winston and my Dad want you to head back to the valley!" Garth yelled irritated.
"Go to hell, Garth! I'm not going back, and you can't make me!" Tristan spat and got into a defensive stance.
"That's where you're wrong!" Garth said before charging into Tristan making him hit the tree.
Tristan grunted and got up and ran at Garth trying to bite him, only to be knocked away by someone else.
Kate had jumped in and tried talking to Tristan and Garth, "Both of you back off! What the hell has gotten into you!"
She looked at Tristan who had turned tail and ran off with Garth giving chase.
Kate noticed he was heading back to the Valley but he hit a hard right and wondered where he was going.
Tristan was panting and saw a pond to jump in.
He leaped into it and swam across looking at Garth and Kate, "Stop following me! God damnit!"
Garth growled realizing what Tristan did.
Lilly caught up with them and looked at Garth, "Go after him. Why are you standing here?"
Garth looked at her, "If I lose sight of him, I won't be able to trace his scent because of the pond."
Once on the other side Tristan and Garth glared at each other.
Tristan turned his back on Garth and walked deeper into the woods.
He walked a bit further until he was sure he was out of sight and plopped down on his side closing his eyes slowly.
He thought he heard rustling and woke up to something getting shot in his side.
A human had emerged from the bushes as Tristan began to stumble around trying to get away.
His vision was blurry, and everything was moving as he called out for help, "KATE! GARTH!"
He felt another shot in his side and flopped on the ground sleeping soundly.
Kate and Garth heard his call and ran to find him only to see him in a cage in the back of a pickup truck.
"Tristan wake up!" Kate yelled, and Garth ran after the truck, but it was too fast, and he couldn't keep up.
Both alphas watched as their friend was taken and quickly ran back to the Valley to tell Tony and Winston.
I'm liking this reboot/remake already but I'm interested to know what you guys think this far.
