" Get back here garth!" Lilly shouted and laughed as she chased her mate through the trees away from their den. "How did you even become an alpha, you're more caribou then wolf!"
Garth laughed picking up speed and dodging the trees and in his haste to escape Lilly failed to see the aproaching hill. He glanced back and watched lilly sprint after him.
" Watch out Lilly, this caribou is on fire! Garth the super caribou!" He continued to watch lilly, letting out a cocky, but loving laugh. " You"ll have to slow down adventually, that is unless you no longer have to take a p-" Before she could finish her taunt, Lillys eyes opened wide and she stopped dead in her tracks. " Garth! Watch Out! Hill!"
Garth jerked his head forward but it was already to late to stop. He sprinted into a small embankment of dirt and grass and began his tumble down the hill, which was luckily bare of trees. While shouting Garths name lilly hopped the mound of earth and began running down the hill towards where Garth lay at the bottom. He lay face down, and motionless. Lilly panicked when she saw him, and quickly rolled him onto his back, only to find herself staring into the smiling face of an unharmed Garth. Relief flooded her, and then suddenly a huge grin spread on her face. "Looks like I caught my prey, now tell me Mr. Alpha, what do I do now?" Seduction filled lillys voice, and she lay down on top of garth, so they were chest to chest. Kissing him roughly, but pleasantly.
When garth failed to answer lilly's question she nipped his neck softly, then kissed him again but this time more gently.
" I guess I'll have to punish my naughty caribou." She whispered in his ear, and slowly began grinding against him. With a sly grin Garth whispered back to lilly.
" As much as Garth the super caribou deserves his "punishment", could It wait until Hutch isn't watching us?"
Lilly had a look of confusion on her face as her mind processed what garth just said. She quickly made sense of the statement and flung her head around. There behind lilly was Hutch, and by the look on his face had been watching the whole time.
HUTCH.
Hutch was alone, he needed time alone, so he had taken a walk into the woods. He sat now at a clearing which was over shadowed by a grassy hill. Although not near the stream, or the river, a small puddle of water was in the clearing.
Bending to drink from the clear puddle, the black and white wolf saw his reflection. Staring for a few seconds as a lone tear fell and rippled the water, then he continued his drink. So many thoughts ran through his mind, but one kept coming back. It had been like this for many nights, and was becoming greatly distressing. He could speak of it to no one though, for he would seem crazy. Even his own mate would think him ill, and would be frightened by such thoughts.
" Twilight, oh sweet, loving friend, It is you alone who give me the will to rise from slumber anymore." He thought to himself. Thinking of his beautiful dark furred mate made him smile, and made light where his mind was dark. Hutch wished desperately he could tell his mate of the darkness clouding his thoughts and dreams. "She is the pack healer after all, perhaps she could give me an herb to eat that would make such darkness go away." Hutch once again thought aloud. Mabye he could get candu to ask for him, pretending that it was him who was ill. Only to do so, he would have to tell candu. Even his best friend was not trust worthy enough to be trusted to believe him. "Candu would surely think me nuttier than a squirrel if he knew about that thought, that dream. They are one in the same, always the same thing too. It is More than just a thought though, I can smell the death, taste the blood hear the dying screams of k-" Hutch found himself cut off as he heard shouting. He spun in a circle but saw no one, then realised the shouts were coming from the top of the hill. Familiar voices filled the air, that of Garth and Lilly. A smile replaced his gloomy frown as he sat awaiting to see his friends run down the hill. He supposed it would be good to have company, as being alone did not help. He could here Lilly shout, but this was different, her voice sounded fearful. He sprang to his feet, about to run up the hill to help Lilly. When without warning he saw Garth trip and go head over tail rolling down the hill, and Lilly following after yelling his name. Quite shocked by what he had just seen, Hutch had not moved. but after seeing Lilly roll garth over he ran forward. Only to be shocked into paralysis again when he watched Lilly begin dry mounting Garth. His eyes opened wide, unsure of what do.
But before he could do anything Lilly snapped her head around, and stared at him with a look of shock and embaressment. Realizing there was no easy way out of this akward situation he put his head down to avoid Lillys eyes " Damn." Was all he could manage to say.
WINSTON, TONY.
Winston and Tony had been following the trail at a rapid pace for some time. Not once did they see a single trace of the two invading wolves, aside from the unfamiliar scent and the foot prints. Neither Tony nor Winston had spoken since setting out on the trail. Winston had a grim look on his, but it did not distort his alpha features. Even when in pure terror Winstons face did not show it, he still looked like he was in control. It was a quality that made him an excelent pack leader. It was a quality Winston saw in few others, with the exception of Humphry. Winston had always respected Humphry greatly, and thought him worthy of a position much greater than omega. However Humphrys phsyical capabilities disagreed with Winston. " If only he could hunt, he could be a beta." Winston had thought on many occasions. He certainly had the mind of a great pack leader, though he could do a little more maturing yet.
Winston looked at Tony beside him, his face was not that of a leader. Tony had become a pack leader by bullying his way to the top. He mellowed with age, and grew to become a decent leader. In his youth however violence was how he succeeded. Had it not been for Holly, Tony's mate, he would surely have been killed in a mindless fight. Holly had been a gentle soul, and brought much light into Tony's life. She had smoothed Tony's rough edges, and helped him settle down.
She had become pregnant not long after they were mated, and Tony had been ecstatic. Winston remembered him being so cheerful he ran around for a week dancing and howling and kissing anybody he saw. While giving birth to a lone pup,
to be named Garth, Holly died. Winston knew in his heart that a peice of tony died that day. He spoke few words to any one over the next few months. He raised Garth strong and proud, but he never got over the loss of his love. Anger still remained within him, and it could be directed at no thing, and no anger is without direction it flows freely leading to self loathing and hate of the world. Though Tony hid it well, winston knew Tony hated everything around him, and most of all himself.
Tony broke the silence suddenly " Winston?"
"What is it Tony?" winston replied.
" These tracks are leading straight towards the valley and the pack dens." Tony stated.
" Why would intruding wolves go to the most populated area of our packs?" Winston answered Tony's statement with a question.
Both wolves began to pick up speed, hopefully they would get there in time to stop their packs from killing the strangers. "Tony, let's take a shortcut, down through the thinner trees and over the river, will be able to come out right on top of the valley ridge." Winston commanded, and Tony did not argue. He knew Winston was correct.
Both wolves left the trail and darted off to the left, sprinting through trees growing increasingly thin. Winston hoped they would get there in time to stop blood shed.
