"Hey you, get up." A feminine voice called out.
"Mmmnnn... what?" A sleepy male voice mumbled.
A grey wolf slowly stood up from taking a nap in a small clearing. The small wolf looked at the voice calling to him and saw another grey wolf standing there looking at him. Taking a second to realize what was going on, the wolf looked at him waiting. When the male grey wolf realized that this was a stranger in front of him, he backed up quickly.
"Oh no no no... I didn't mean to be here, please don't hurt me, I was just resting here!" The grey wolf backed away from the stranger with his tail tucked between his leg.
"I can see that, unfortunately for you, it's in my territory." The female told him.
"I-I uh... didn't mean to, I didn't I wa-" The wolf's voice was cut out by the female voice.
"Shut up. Look, I'm not going to hurt you. You don't look like a threat to me at all." She told him as she sat down and looked at him.
"...You're not?" The male asked confused.
"Heavens no! You're an omega right? You couldn't even lay a paw on me." She laughed at him.
"...No, no I couldn't. L-look, I just... wanted to rest…" The grey wolf looked at her, still scared out of his mind.
"I can tell, but I have a question. Why is an omega all by himself?" She asked obviously curious.
This silver fured, white underbelly she-wolf started circling this cowering male wolf, staring at him with her glistening emerald eyes. He kept his tail tucked between his legs a bit as he followed her with his eyes.
"I... left my pack…" He said as he looked away from her.
"Why's that? An Omega can't survive outside a pack. Without their alphas to protect them, they're just bear food and you know it." She lectured.
"L-look... it was a hard decision I had to make alright?" He replieda bit flatly.
"Oh? What was this decision? No one liked your jokes? Alphas didn't want you around anymore because you were too carefree?" She asked snickering a bit.
"N-no, I was... I left because... I... loved... her and I couldn't have her…" The male wolf hesitantly replied as he looked away from the questing female's gaze.
"Her? Oh you loved someone, but someone took her away?" The female wolf smirked a little as she was circling him.
"...She was an alpha…" He confessed.
"Ah, an alpha and omega can't be mates, you knew this." She told him.
"Look, we were childhood friends and it's a long story on how it happened." He looked seriously upset at this wolf prying at him, but... was she really? He was kinda just spewing it out without her actually forcing him.
"Well little omega, we have time, what say you tell me eh?" The female wolf sat down, looking at him with a gentler smile.
"I uh... um uh…" The wolf just didn't know what to say.
"How about you tell me your name first." She advised as she tilted her head at him, she seemed to be enjoying toying with him.
"...It's Humphrey… You?" He told her while looking away.
"Alaska." She replied.
"...Um... it's nice to... meet you I guess?" He said still unsure of the female.
"Sure pal, now how about you tell me the story. Then I'll decide if I let you live or not." Alaska stated.
With that being said, Humphrey began the story, telling her about how he and kate met at the moonlight howl, how they got taken from their pack, it almost causing a war between the two, how he's been in love with her. (We all know how it happened.) Once the story was over with, he looked over at her, hoping it was good enough for her to let him go. She appeared to be processing the whole thing.
"So you're telling me that... you fell in love with the chiefs daughter, the soon to be head alpha of the pack? After you two finally returned, after the whole train incident and the whole bonding, she still chose the arranged marriage?" Alaska asked looking shocked as she kept looking at him.
"And I left... I couldn't bare seeing her with him... so here I am, a few days into being alone... in front of you." Humphrey looked at her.
"So you're trying to do the lone wolf deal huh?" Alaska asked him, slightly amused.
"...Yeah... it was going alright until now." Humphrey stated.
"You're not going to be able to make it alone. Come on. I'll show you the ropes." Alaska said as she slowly stood up, stretching as the story he just told her was almost an hour long.
When this wolf told him that she would show him the ropes, he just looked at her with the most shocked expression. Was this a joke? Was she serious? He couldn't tell... but for now it looked serious.
She turned away from him and he watched her start walking away. She turned her head to look back at him.
"Well... are you coming, or are you going to sit there with your tail tucked between your legs?" Alaska asked urging him to follow.
It took him a second before he slowly got up and followed behind her. The two walked for a good while without any conversation. She eventually lead him to a nice den under a giant tree.
She motioned him with a paw to a spot to sit as she went to a large hole dug into the tree and pulled out a deer leg and dropped it in front of him. Apparently the whole was some sorry of food storage she had created.
"Here, eat up. I'll show you the ropes when we get done eating." Alaska instructed.
He looked at the meat with hunger in his eyes. He hadn't eaten since he got on the train and left. This was a sight for sore eyes. He dug into the raw meat after he made sure there was nothing wrong with it. Once it was down to just bones he looked over to Alaska, seeing as she just got done eating a leg herself. She looks up after cleaning her muzzle off and smiles at him.
"Alright, it's time for this old Omega to show you the ropes." Alaska giggled.
"You were an Omega once?" Humphrey asked confused.
"I was the head Omega like you were, then my pack moved, I got lost... and well, I had to train myself. A silly omega trying to live by herself, but after rummaging through a few human trash bins to get some food, I eventually managed to figure out how to hunt." Alaska explained.
"How old are you?" Humphrey asked.
"Eh, I hit two yesterday, you?" Alaska said.
"Same... but not two, just one." Humphrey replied.
"Oh, born the same day huh? Nice, anyways, come on." She gestured as she stood back up and headed out to the wilderness, eventually finding a small plain that had a few deer roaming around.
With that being said, Alaska took the time to teach him how to hunt, how to get into shape, all the great stuff on how to survive.
Six months pass.
Alaska and Humphrey had gotten along very well. Once they got done training him she had asked him to stay around a while longer and before anyone knew, they were a two wolf pack living out somewhere in the bottom west of Washington State after moving from Idaho to there. Currently the two were walking around, looking for something to hunt. It was almost night so they were in a sort of rush. Once they found some deer, they stalked it together before pouncing on it from the front and the back. They took the deer back to their small den in a cave. She looked at him with a smile. The two have grown close, he had somewhat already forgotten about Kate during the six months. Also Alaska's belly had gotten a bit bigger during the past month. They think she got pregnant from when the two got intimate a month ago.
"I guess this Omega can teach someone to be an Alpha, eh?" Alaska grinned at him as they put the corpse at the end of the den before the two laid down.
"And I thank you for what you did... really I do." Humphrey told her as she laid her head across his neck.
"It's been nice having someone around... for the first time after a year alone... it was rough." Alaska admitted.
"Well... now I'm here helping you... keeping you company." He said with a small chuckle.
"Mhm... I knew I should've kept you alive…" She buried her face in the fur of his neck.
"You knew I wasn't any harm then…" He reminded.
"Mhm…" She said in agreement.
"You comfortable yet?" He asked her as he could feel her moving around beside him before coming to a stop, snuggled up against him.
After not hearing anything from her for a minute, he listened carefully and heard her snoring. She fell asleep on his neck, which he didn't mind of course, so he eventually fell asleep with her, ending their day with the two falling asleep.
Four days go by, the two are taking a walk, few miles away from their den. They've decided to explore the area a little more, from a few geese telling them as they recalled what was said.
"A few miles north from your den good sir and ma'am, there lies a wolf pack, it would be best for you to stay clear from them as they are not the type of wolves you want to deal with. Fortunate for you, they were going to head west towards Idaho." The goose informed.
That's what he told them.
Luckily they weren't near that pack. Or so they believed. They thought they were west of their den, walking along a mountain pass.
"You know, I'm glad we left Idaho... it was the best thing I did... and now look... I may be a father." Humphrey chuckled happily.
"Well, it's luck that the one night we decided to mate, this happened... not that I'm complaining... I just didn't expect to be a mother. I'm glad actually, and who better to have pups with then a nice handsome wolf?" She nuzzled him as they walked along.
"We could make our own little pack…" He nuzzled her back.
"Couldn't be anything better." She giggled, giving him a lick on his cheek.
The two kept walking along, until Humphrey's ears perked up and he turned and looked behind them. Sure enough there was two brown furred wolves standing behind them.
"Humphrey..." Alaska said getting his attention as he looked back in front of them only to see three more wolves were standing in front of them, all bore the same colored fur.
"Well well, we have two wolves in our territory." The one up front, in the lead spoke.
"We're not in your territory... so let us by." Humphrey told them.
"You are now." The two behind them spoke.
"Look, we don't want to fight, and if we truly are in your territory, we'll leave. Honestly, we were just here for a walk." Humphrey told them.
"Well, you don't just…"Walk" around in our territory. If you want to go free, you'll have to beat us." The lead again spoke.
"Look man, she's pregnant, we don't want to fight." Humphrey pleaded.
"Well, we don't care, either fight or die." The lead threatened.
Humphrey looked at Alaska with a frown.
"...Stand over there, I'll... try to handle this." He had a worried look in his eyes.
She nodded and stood aside near a tree as the five wolves surrounded Humphrey. He looked nervous, but he stood his ground. There was no way he was winning this fight, but he had to try, or at least make an opening to allow Alaska to make a run for it. The wolves closed in. The first one making a lunge at him with his claws, Humphrey ducked and pushed the paws away as the second one went for his feet with his jaws. Humphrey didn't move in time as the wolf not down hard on his leg, ripping through skin and muscle tissue. He yelped in pain, kicking the one in the jaw, forcing the wolf to back away a bit, rubbing his jaw as Humphrey was bleeding slightly.
"C-come on guys, please don't do this... we were just taking a walk." He pleaded, but they weren't listening.
The third one and the fourth one came at Humphrey together, one on each sides. He barely managed to side step them, causing them to collide into reach other before hitting the ground. The fifth and second one came at him on the left. One of them managed to ram into his side, sending him towards the edge. Humphrey took a look off the edge and saw the water down below. He looked over at them as they formed an arch in front of him, walking towards him. The leader grabbed Alaska by the back of theneck with his jaws and dragged her over to Humphrey, somewhat throwing her to him.
"You know guys, I have another idea…" The leader said sinisterly as he looked over at his pals.
Humphrey got in front of Alaska in a protective stance as these wolves were in front of them. The leader walked over and within a blink of an eye he grabbed Humphrey by the neck with his jaws and threw him to his friends.
"What're you doing?!" Humphrey yelled.
The other wolves then started beating the s*** out of him, clawing him, biting him, breaking a few bones, leaving him barely conscious, but just enough to watch as they grabbed Alaska who was fighting for her life.
"No…" Humphrey barely got out.
And then... it happened, he was barely able to show anything before the lead wolf threw Alaska over the edge after they dragged him closer to the edge to watch. He looked on in horror as he watched his lover fall to her demise. She landed on the rocks, blood splattering everywhere. Then... Darkness.
