Alpha and Omega: After Realization
Chapter 10: Winter's March In
The morning sun bathed the valley of Jasper Park as it finally touched the sky as Lilly walked through the valley as she felt a slight, cool breeze blow through her hair and fur. She raised her head and closed her eyes as she took in the air, how smooth it felt as it touched her skin and fur, relieving her from any tension she probably had.
"Lilly"
Lilly heard her name being called out but it sounded like a whisper and she only turned her head around to scan the area, to see as to who was calling her.
"Lilly"
Lilly drew her attention to the center of the valley before her and she could only smile in utter happiness as she saw who was calling her name.
"Humphrey"
She was overcome by seeing him out in the valley and started to run towards him, wanting to feel his embrace, his paws comforting feeling that she longed for. She ran to him as fast as she could and she was only a few feet of distance from him before she saw the sudden change in the sight in front of her. Humphrey was pushed backwards by an unknown force and he could only respond by gripping his chest as he fell to the ground.
"Humphrey!" said Lilly.
Lilly reached Humphrey as he lay on the ground clutching his chest with both his paws now, letting out groans and yelps of pain. Lilly tried to get Humphrey on his feet by attempting to lift him by his scruff, but his pain only increased when she tried to help him. Lilly stopped pulling and focused on Humphrey, his eyes full of pain and weakness, she had never seen him like this in her whole life, and he was always a happy, energetic, and peaceful omega. She lowered herself down to get a glimpse at what was causing him so much pain and to her horror she was beginning to see a pool of blood forming underneath his chest on the ground.
"Humphrey, you're bleeding!" screamed Lilly in shock.
Humphrey only continued to yelp in pain and couldn't speak to her as the pain in his chest grew and he cried out in agony, only making Lilly cry and frantically worry about him. Humphrey then slowly lifted his head with all his strength he could muster and stared up to Lilly, with her expression being stunned at what she saw.
"I will always love you Lilly" said Humphrey in a pain filled whisper.
His eyes were no longer a cool blue; they were now colored blood red and with that, his head dropped down and his eyes closed.
"No! Humphrey!"
Lilly awoke with a sudden jump from her sleep with her eyes widened as she took in deep breaths to calm herself down. She had just had one of her most terrible nightmares and she was able to tell herself that it was one she had before.
Not again, why does it always end like that? asked Lilly in her thoughts.
"I continually have this dream every once in a while…but why does Humphrey always end up…end up…"
As she whispered her words, she couldn't bring herself to say what she always saw in her nightmare, the last few moments spent mourning over the body of the one she loved most.
"I don't want to lose him, I won't lose him" whispered Lilly with a little regained confidence.
Just then she heard what sounded like a conversation going on outside. She quietly walked closer to the entrance and tried to listen to who was talking out, which she could now tell it was her mom, dad, along with Kate and Garth.
"And then it just disappeared" finished Garth.
Eve and Winston looked at each other as Garth finished explaining about the events that happened last night with the mysterious white flash and the loss of two alphas. Eve and Winston couldn't believe that such a thing could have happened; they couldn't believe that something out there in the forest could take out a well trained alpha.
"By what you've told us, it's clear that this is more serious than I thought, this new threat doesn't need to run or hide if it can simply vanish from sight" declared Winston.
"Winston and I had decided before hand that if things were to reach this sort of point, we'll ask you two to leave your border duties for now, me and Winston will take some others to go and find this…whatever it is ourselves" said Eve.
"Finally" said Kate out loud.
"Kate?" replied Garth, noticing that Kate was still kind of mad from not having slept for hours.
"We understand you are tired Kate, you and Garth have done a great job in your duties as alphas, I think you both earn a rest after all you've done so far" said Winston.
Kate revealed a delighted but weak smile and wagged her tail at hearing her father tell her and Garth that they could rest.
Damn, it's about time thought Kate.
"Go and get some rest, you've earned it" said Eve as she waved a paw to tell them to go.
"Thank you ma'am" said Garth.
"Thanks mom" replied Kate.
Just as he was turning to walk away, Garth stopped and turned back around.
"Oh, I almost forgot, is Lilly here?" asked Garth.
Winston and Eve turned towards the den and checked inside, but they didn't see a trace of Lilly, which left them dumbfounded for a second.
"Huh, she was just here sleeping in the den, guess she must have gotten up and walked out without us knowing" said Winston.
"Well that's okay, as long as I know she's still around" said Garth happily.
Wonder where she is? thought Kate.
"Don't worry, she's around here somewhere, I'll tell her you asked for her" said Eve.
"Thank you" replied Garth.
Garth turned again and continued on his way back to the Eastern territory while Kate slowly made her way back to her and Humphrey's den. Winston and Eve watched as they walked away and then went back into the den to talk with one another.
"This is really serious…do you know what this could do to us?" said Winston in a concerned tone.
"We're lucky that both of them didn't get hurt or killed out there and we were also lucky that someone in our pack survived something like it before" replied Eve.
"So what do you think we do?" asked Winston.
"Like we said we would do, we go with some of our best alphas and take care of this ourselves"
Meanwhile, in the forest to the north of the territory and lake, Lilly was slowly walking as she gave a few pants; she had run from the den quietly after hearing the conversation with her parents, Garth, and Kate. She still kept tears in her eyes as she walked, realizing that with both her sister and Garth no longer on border patrol, she would never be able to spend time with Humphrey.
"Why did it have to be now?" whispered Lilly.
Her thoughts switched between the thought of not being able to see him again and the nightmare she had had during the night, how she saw Humphrey die in front of her with a pool of blood below him. The nightmare had shaken her up inside and it scared her, the very thought of not being able to be with Humphrey made her sad.
What can I do? asked Lilly in her thoughts.
As she continued her walk, she felt a gust of air blow passed her and it caused her to take a few steps backwards as she felt the impact of the wind. As the wind calmed down, she felt a sudden sharp pain in one of her paws and winced loudly as it burned her flesh.
"What the hell was that?" asked Lilly angrily.
She lifted her paw to look at it and didn't notice anything dangerous; all she could see was a slight splinter that was in the middle of her paw.
"I guess splinters really can hurt you"
She carefully removed the splinter from her paw by pulling it out with her teeth, making sure she wouldn't cause it to go any deeper into her skin. She was able to get it out and then threw it aside; making sure it wouldn't do the same to anyone else who would come by. She continued to walk onward as she returned her thoughts to the current situation that she was facing and again her tears started to come back, but then they halted when she perked her ears up along with her eyes sparkling.
Wait, that's it thought Lilly.
Lilly didn't waste any more time and began to run back in the direction that she had come, only she altered her route a little because she wasn't heading back to the den.
"Where's Jack?"
Back near the shore of the lake, Jack was lying on the ground as he had all morning long now that the sun was up, except something about the sky seemed dark for some reason. Jack had his eyes open and only stared off into the sky, his eyes not wandering in any other direction. His gaze seemed serious and so off, like he didn't know what to say or just didn't want to say anything at all.
"And why are we sad now?"
Jack didn't respond to the voice's question and only continued to stare off into nothingness in the sky, not even his expression changed to show how he felt about being asked the question.
"Does this mean we're not going to talk? Is our plan for Humphrey and Lilly over?"
"Who says the plan for Humphrey and Lilly is over? It'll be over the day I die" replied Jack.
Jack finally broke his concentration on the sky and got up on his feet, stretching himself out to relax a bit.
"Then why aren't you speaking to me?"
"Okay look, I know we have good intentions for a lot of things, but was that really necessary, wasn't there another way to get rid of my heat without mating?" asked Jack with his voice expressing worry and a little irritated.
"I'm sorry to tell you this Jack, but a wolf's heat has only one way of being relieved, and that is mating"
"Sometimes I feel as if I've lost a little bit of me inside" said Jack.
Jack lowered his head down very depressed and only looked to the water in front of him as he turned towards the lake. Within a few seconds after he turned around, he felt a warm and smooth sensation on his shoulders and once again, he could see another reflection that was beside his own in the water. Jack breathed out slowly and then inhaled as his whole body started to feel light and relaxed.
"I'm sorry about that Jack; I just wanted you to not go through what Humphrey had to go through"
"What did he go through?" asked Jack as he grew interest on the topic of Humphrey.
"The thing is…he had a moment in his life when he got into his own heat during the season and well…he ended up…committing rape"
Jack's expression did not change as it remained calm, but his mind exploded the minute he heard the voice's statement.
He…raped someone? thought Jack.
"What happened? Who did he…rape?" asked Jack, still calm.
Jack was still in a relaxed state, but his question was already proof enough that he was asking it out of concern as to what happened with Humphrey, his brother in law.
"He ended up getting the same heat you did, during the end of the season, and unfortunately he was also in love at the time"
"In love?"
"Exactly, it was during that time back then that he met Lilly after Kate left for Alpha school, and as they grew up together as omegas well…something may have triggered this whole thing that Humphrey did"
"What exactly causes 'this" to happen and make Humphrey do something to…whoever it was"
"Well Jack, you should know by now that Humphrey ended up raping Lilly"
Jack didn't say a word and kept quiet, the smooth feeling was keeping him calm but his mind moved about rapidly.
Humphrey? Raping Lilly? It's not possible…not Humphrey were Jack's thoughts in his mind.
"I know it's hard to believe, but that's the truth. Even Humphrey can come to the point of doing something as bad as rape"
"Why would he do it in the first place? What made him do it besides the heat obviously" asked Jack in his still soothed voice.
"Love"
"What?"
"It was love Jack. What Humphrey did was wrong, but he couldn't find another way at the time to show off his love to Lilly. Lilly had licked his cheek once and after she did, he tried to find a way to return the favor, but I guess the heat he got ended up making him crazy with the thought of mating with her"
Hearing this made Jack realize the truth, what Humphrey had done was not about just experiencing something just because he was in heat, he was also in love with Lilly and wanted to love her. Jack also came to know that if Lilly had licked Humphrey after spending some time with him then it was a sure sign that Lilly had also loved him back as well. Jack was still relaxing as his muscles loosened and softened when he heard his name being called out.
"Jack!"
The soothing feeling faded and Jack returned to his normal state, alert to whoever was calling his name. He turned his head to stare off to the north of Jasper and saw that it was Lilly who was calling him as she ran in his direction.
"Lilly?"
Lilly finally stopped in front of Jack as she gave a few breaths of air after running a long distance to reach him.
"What's wrong sis?" asked Jack.
"Is something wrong Lilly?"
"Kate and Garth have been excused from their duties of border patrol…they'll be looking for me and Humphrey…what should we do?" said Lilly panting from tiredness.
Jack froze upon hearing Lilly's words; he hadn't expected Kate and Garth to be let off of their duties so early, especially at this time.
"Jack, what do you have planned for this?"
"I don't really know, I wasn't expecting this to happen so soon. What can be done?" replied Jack.
Jack looked to Lilly as he thought of an idea; he could penetrate his sister's eyes and see that she was near heartbroken. The thought of Humphrey never being able to be with her by her side was making her weak inside and that was one thing that Jack did not want Lilly to go through.
And she won't…this is one thing she won't share with me thought Jack.
Jack then had a jolt in his brain and he smacked himself with his paw, he had gotten so worried over the news from Lilly that he forgot what had happened earlier.
"Wait, I almost forgot…damn I hate it when I forget things"
"What is it Jack?" asked Lilly.
"Humphrey had come by here not so long ago and he asked me if I had seen you. When I told him you hadn't probably woken up, he said he would go for a walk in the northern part of the territories' forest" responded Jack.
Lilly came out of her saddened state as her brother spoke those words, which brought hope for her.
"So? Is he still in the forest?" asked Lilly.
"I would say so, he asked me about the cave I had found, I told him that it had a waterfall and that all he had to do was just travel north and he would come across it easy"
"If you hurry now, you may be able to catch up to him before he gets to the cave, he's probably still walking north"
Lilly couldn't be happier with what she was hearing from Jack and the voice. Jack became overwhelmed by the moment that he gave Lilly a suspicious look, which Lilly took notice of and thought it was strange.
"What?" asked Lilly
"Why are you still standing here Lilly, hurry up and go find Humphrey, go now" said Jack.
"Go on Lilly, quickly, go and get to Humphrey. Go"
Lilly's eyes were pouring out tears like a waterfall and while she wanted to say something to her helpful brother, she only nodded and ran off back into the forest, knowing that Humphrey was waiting in the distance for her. Jack also had tears in his eyes as he watched his young sister run off in search of her mate, or at least soon to be a mate at least. Jack tilted his head upwards and when he did, the joy he was experiencing was taken away in a blink of an eye as his eyes widened in fear.
"Jack, what's wrong?"
Jack could only response by pointing his paw up towards the sky to the north and only gave a whisper of words.
"The White March…is coming"
Off in a faraway place thousands of miles away from Jasper Park, two male humans were inside a building full of computers and they both watched in awe at the screens as they monitored what was going on.
"Sir we have a strange phenomenon happening right now"
"What is it?" replied the other human.
"There seems to be a really strange and strong low pressure system forming in the northern area of Canada, the lowest we've seen on record"
"What?"
The other man took a look at the screen that the other had been watching and he couldn't believe his eyes at the results that the computer was showing.
"This can't be real; this would be something of science fiction. This is going to be one hell of a storm if these readings are right"
Jack was getting nervous and he didn't even move from his spot after seeing the sky above him. The sun had been out and there were hardly any clouds in the sky, but Jack started to see a large cluster of dark clouds making its way across the sky, while wind started to blow on the ground. Jack felt the wind blow right passed him, but then the wind let out a burst of wind and it was able to cause Jack to slide back a few feet.
"What's going on Jack?"
"The White March…but I just call it the Great Storm" replied Jack.
"What's up with the clouds then?"
"Remember when I said something about winter coming?"
"Yeah?"
"Well here it is, looks like winter is going to start off pretty nasty this year"
"What are we going to do? What about Humphrey and Lilly? They're out there beneath the storm clouds in the forest, they'll get hurt"
"Don't worry about them, I know they'll do good on their own, but I better go and start telling everyone in the pack to head inside before this hits and to make sure that no one is left outside to freeze" said Jack.
Jack started to run around the edge of the lake and headed into the area where all the dens were located to start alerting all the others to find anyone of their family members and get inside. As for Kate, she was arriving to her den very tired and gave out a yawn, but as she entered the den she couldn't help but notice that Humphrey was not inside.
"Huh? I guess Humphrey is out somewhere. Maybe I should go find him just to make sure he's safe" said Kate.
Though she was exhausted as hell, she managed to pick up on his scent and followed it out of the den in search of her mate. Back in the forest, Humphrey was walking at his own relaxed pace, he was in no hurry and was enjoying the nature around him. He could now see why Jack even chose to go this way in search of a place for him and Lilly.
"He was right, it does look beautiful as you walk north into the forest" stated Humphrey to himself.
Humphrey took in every second he could as he made his way to the den that Jack had said would be located northward in the forest, all you had to do is keep walking north. He was feeling a breeze of wind blowing through the trees as he kept on going into the forest but he didn't pay it any mind since it didn't bother him so much. As he kept on making his way north, he suddenly stopped when he heard a series of sounds that sounded like something was running towards him.
"What could that…"
He was unable to finish his sentence when he turned around and was immediately tackled to the ground and the force of the tackle was so strong that he slid right into the base of a tree. He gave a grunt from the impact he received and opened his eyes to see what had caused him to slide into the tree base, but he was filled with joy as he now found himself staring into the beautiful, lavender colored eyes of Lilly herself as she gazed down on him as she was standing over him.
"Lilly?" asked Humphrey.
Lilly didn't respond to Humphrey's question and only thrust her muzzle onto his, pulling him into a passionate kiss as she forced her tongue into Humphrey's mouth. Humphrey was stunned by Lilly as she invaded his mouth with her tongue, but he could start to feel the intense warmth eradiating from her body so he just closed his eyes and took the kiss. He then copied his lover's actions and made his tongue go deep into Lilly's mouth, reaching almost the back of her whole snout inside. After a few minutes of kissing each other roughly, Lilly pulled away from Humphrey's kiss and stared down at him and his cool blue eyes.
"I love you Humphrey…I don't ever want to lose you…ever" said Lilly.
Humphrey felt his mind go blank for a second; he couldn't believe how much Lilly loved him that she would confess those kinds of words to him.
"I love you too Lilly, you're the only one I want in my life" replied Humphrey.
Back in the territory, Jack ran from den to den warning the wolves to stay in their dens due to the coming storm, but he kept asking to see where Winston and Eve were. He had asked everyone he met but they all said they didn't know where they were, this only made him more nervous.
"Where could they be right now?" asked Jack.
He took a quick glance back up into the sky and was able to see the clouds just as they were passing over him and with it, a strong gust of wind slowly began to blow across the territory. He was running out of time and he didn't have enough time to alert the Eastern pack, he could only hope that they would have time to get into their dens. One last thing hit his mind before he thought about going back to his parents den.
"Where in the hell is Kate?"
Within the forest, Kate followed the scent that Humphrey had left behind in their den and was in the middle of finding him when she noticed that the sky was beginning to turn a dark grey color and there were gusts of wind that would blow by occasionally as the light of day faded into the clouds as the sky got covered in nothing but that.
"Guess I should head back to the den then, I don't want to get caught in this and besides, I'm pretty sure that…"
Things had now changed as Lilly was the one who was lying down near the base of a tree, with Humphrey standing over her and staring at her whole body in mesmerized passion. He lowered his head down under Lilly's head and started to lick away at her neck, adding in a few nibbles that caused Lilly to moan weakly and shake in pleasure. He continued his pleasuring of Lilly as he then placed his paws over her chest fur and gently rubbed his paws across her body, causing Lilly only to moan even more and louder than before, the feel of his touch on her body made her become overwhelmed with desire. Humphrey then decided to take it further and he lowered his entire body down onto hers, his chest making contact with hers and both of their lower areas being so close that they were both feeling the heat eradiating from the other's area. Lilly was taking in every moment that she felt herself being made to feel so good by her lover, Humphrey's touch only made her want him more than ever before, the way his paws brushed her arms, her chest, and how he licked and nibbled on her neck.
"Oh Humphrey…you make me feel so good" said Lilly in a hushed tone.
Humphrey took his paws and grabbed both sides of Lilly's waist and proceeded to rub her sides smoothly as he traveled down, where he touched her legs and then immediately made his paws feel her thighs. Lilly felt Humphrey push her upwards from the tree base and she now had her back to the tree as she then used her arms to grab onto Humphrey's shoulders as he kept her in her spot by pressing his chest to hers and his crotch up to hers. Humphrey put his arms and paws to the tree trunk as he now had Lilly before him on the tree, staring into her eyes and licking his muzzle with heating desire. He then leaned forward and whispered into her ear.
"You make me feel so hot Lilly…I need to take you now"
Lilly felt how Humphrey pressed his "wolf" into her pussy slowly, although she had never thought of him to be this gentle before, the sensation was incredible to her. She let out a gasp as she felt his length slide in and out of her, making love to her so gently that it was even causing her to release her own fluids over his "wolf" and pelvis as Humphrey mated with her. She held on to him with both of her arms and paws as she rested her head on one of his shoulders and bit down as she received what she thought was the best fuck of her whole life.
"Please Humphrey…faster…faster please" begged Lilly.
Humphrey only whispered back to her.
"No Lilly…we both need this slow"
Humphrey couldn't comply with his lover's request, he wanted to savor the experience and he could guess that Lilly would want the same. Lilly didn't protest against Humphrey when he denied her sexual want, but she was really enjoying the slow rhythm that her lover kept. She could now feel Humphrey's knot as the ball of flesh was beginning to hit against the outside of her pussy walls, she knew what was going to happen and it made her crazy in her mind.
"Oh yeah Humphrey"
"You don't know how much you mean to me Lilly, you just don't" said Humphrey.
Lilly was suddenly taken back when she felt a hit to her ass and she scanned with her eyes the best she could to see what it was, she couldn't believe that she saw as Humphrey had lowered his arms and paws downward and was smacking her hard. She couldn't believe it when Humphrey smacked her again and again as he rammed himself into her; she had never seen this kind of loving from him before when they were together, not even when he had raped her. Humphrey was now multi tasking as he hit Lilly's ass hard with both of his paws, rammed and stretched her out as he fucked her slowly, and he moved his head down so that he could just embrace her chest and also lick it. After a while, Humphrey stopped smacking Lilly and only gripped each of her ass cheeks in his paws as he started to pant with his tongue hanging out and giving a groan of pleasure.
"Yes Humphrey…yes…mate me…please…please!" screamed Lilly.
"Lilly"
Humphrey's slow and steady beat as he fucked Lilly felt so good as he slowly but strongly thrusted in his "wolf" and his knot into her. Lilly let out another scream following the other as she let go of her wet juices as they came into contact with Humphrey's cum as he released his load inside of Lilly's womb.
"Humphrey!"
They were now both tied to each other as they remained in their standing positions against the tree, with little streams of their love fluids running down both of their legs. They were both exhausted as they both panted, their warm breaths touching the other's body. Humphrey still had his head up slightly and gave a few more licks to Lilly's chest as she panted heavily, with her unable to do anything against Humphrey's pleasuring.
"I…love…you Lilly…I always…will" said Humphrey through his panting.
They could only enjoy the moment as they remembered that they were now tied to each other until Humphrey's knot went down, but for Lilly, she wished that his knot would remain where it was, inside of her so that it could keep her warm inside forever.
Jack ran to the north of the territory until he reached the edge of the forest, not wanting to enter it due to the present situation. The sky had taken a real dark grey color and he could now hear the sounds of thunder in the distance towards the north as the clouds continued to roll in. He had been searching for some time now and he couldn't find his sister Kate.
"Where is she? I need to find her fast" said Jack, both worried and irritated.
Jack was running out of time, with minute he stayed out he could feel the wind continue to blow and it grew stronger still. He squinted his eyes to focus his eye sight on the forest, but the wind only blew harder and prevented him from seeing anymore. He took into notice that snow was beginning to fall from the sky and as it did, the wind transformed the snowfall into a deadly blizzard as Jack could feel the air around him start to become cold. His fur was no longer protecting him from the brutal temperature and he cursed under his breath, he was out of time and needed to get back to the den, the storm was turning violent as the sound of thunder crackled through the sky and lightning began to make itself visible as well. He started to turn around when he heard a loud voice coming in his direction from the forest. He turned his head and as he did, a wolf darted right passed him and almost made him fall, but he regained his posture and vision so that he could make out who it was.
"Was that…"
"DAMN IT ALL!"
"Hey…"
Jack couldn't say anymore as the thunder made it's loudest crackle yet and the lightning seemed to be happening with no end in sight as he got a quick glimpse at it as series of bolts hit the earth far off in the distance, but the force from it shook the ground. Jack did not speak and only ran; the den was his only salvation and as he neared the den through the white blizzard, he could see the wolf that had run by him enter the den.
"This ought to be interesting"
"Go check up on them, I need to get inside now" said Jack.
Jack made his way rapidly up the slope and got into the den, with the storm blowing its powerful winds all over Jasper Park. He couldn't do anymore, but Jack was hoping that his parents, his sister, and brother in law were safe from all of this. All he could hear for now was the howling wind outside as the storm finally made the land unseeable.
So finally I finish another chapter for this and I'm glad I did, I was getting worried that I would have to hold off for another month to get this in. Anyway, I did promise you all something from last time, more information on the story in general. As for this chapter, we are at a half way point of finishing this story up, but don't feel sad just yet, there is still a lot of ground to cover in the next few months leading up to a possible conclusion in either October or by the time Christmas comes around. The reason I say this is because I'll be needing to find the time to continue on the chapters and whether or not they take a long time to get done is what makes it dependent on the time it ends. Just don't be sad though, the story has a lot of things to come as we soon start Chapter 11 and start introducing the main factors that will drive this journey along to the end. Remember Chapter 8? That's why. And also remember some of Chapter 6. Why you may ask? You'll need to go back and look through it for the clues that I left behind (which I did not intended for at the time, but I became aware of it now). Until the next update friends.
