Alpha and Omega: The Reunion
Sirius's POV
"Sirius would you calm down please?!" Drako asked as he ran after me.
I ignored him and just kept running towards my best friends new den. I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT HIM! Some friend I was, leaving him alone for most of the day when I knew he wasn't comfortable with being alone and hungry. I felt so bad as soon as Drako brought up Conrad that I got up from my spot next to him and started bulleting towards my dog friend.
"I WON'T CALM DOWN! I FORGOT HIM!" I answered, looking back at him for about a second before turning my attention back to the road I was trying to remember that was leading to Conrad's new den.
Drako mumbled something inaudible that I wasn't really concerned with. He didn't mean to distract me from Conrad, I think, he was just trying to get to know me better.
I soon arrived at the entrance of the den, my breathing turning into hard pants and gasps for air as I tried to regain oxygen in my lungs from the running. When I looked inside I was shocked at what I saw.
There in front of me was Conrad, sleeping. He was sleeping, curled up with his scarf covering most of his body and a smile on his face as he slept next to an unexpected wolf for more warmth, which made me grow a smile by myself for some reason. My Uncle Cole. He smiled when he saw me and tucked the young dog closer to him, getting a sigh as a thanks from Conrad.
"Oh Hello Sirius, glad you could join us" He said, his smile turning into a smirk.
I raised an eyebrow at him, so many questions popping up in my head at the same time. How did he get here? How did he know where we were? Why was Conrad curled up next to him? And why did I think Conrad was so cute cuddled up like that?!
"Uncle Cole?! What are you doing here?!"
"I was following Byron!" He answered, keeping his voice low as to not wake up the sleeping dog.
"Byron?"
"Here it is...I caught a rabbit"
Him...
I turned around and was 'graced' with the sight of the silver furred wolf as he walked in with a dead rabbit carcass in his jaws, I growled slightly, remembering the last time we met and how he kept calling me 'little'.
"Ugh, what are you doing here?!" I asked, rolling my eyes.
"I was walking around and looking for Cyrus when I found this little dog pup" He said, looking at Conrad "He sounded scared and everything so Cole came in, explained to me that he was your friend, and we managed to calm him down."
I looked at him and Conrad, they took care of my friend when I promised him that I would. What kind of friend am I?
"You shouldn't have left him..." Cole said
"What?"
"He's your friend right? You shouldn't have left him alone, especially when you said you'd be back soon, from what Conrad told me, you said you'd be back soon when it was still morning when you left..." Cole scolded, in a rather nice tone.
"I was...playing...with Drake"
"Who is Drake?"
"I am sir"
Drake came walking in, cautious but still keeping his posture as he walked past the den entrance and sat next to me. He looked at Cole with a sad look, feeling responsible for accidently making me forget about Conrad.
"You made another friend?" Byron asked, raising an eyebrow.
Conrad stirred in his sleep, burying his head deeper into Cole's side and sighed deeply. The smile that he previously had was still there, growing bigger even as he continued to continue in his deep slumber.
"Yeah, we were playing and I kinda forgot about Conrad..." I answered, my answer rolling off into a heavy sigh.
"I take full responsibility for it Sir" Drake spoke up "It was my fault, not Sirius' he was going bring Conrad his food but I wanted to get to know him better so I took him to a place I know and we got carried away...It's I who deserves punishment, not him" Drake said, smiling at me.
"I'm not going to punish anyone, I was just saying that you probably shouldn't leave someone like Conrad alone, he's a dog and he's blind, he could get hurt" Cole suggested, nuzzling the sleeping pup.
"We could always help them" Byron suggested, putting the dead rabbit carcass next to Conrad.
"Huh?" Cole tilted his head while Byron tore the rabbit carcass into small pieces.
"I'm fine with helping them take care of Conrad, he seems like a nice kid and I wouldn't mind watching over him for a bit" Byron answered as he finished tearing them up into pieces.
"Really?" Cole asked
"Yup, It could be kinda fun actually, something we could do together..." Byron answered smiling at Uncle Cole.
Uncle Cole's cheeks turned scarlet as he turned his face away from the silver furred canine.
"O-okay, I'm fine with that" Cole answered.
I raised an eyebrow at him and so did Drake as we looked at Cole and his scarlet face as he looked away from Byron. Meanwhile, the silver furred wolf was smiling and nuzzling Conrad to try and get him to wake up and get something to eat. The whole time I was thinking that now I had yet another wolf that knew about Conrad and had to keep him a secret from everyone else. If anyone else found out then they might start spreading rumors about him
Then he could really get hurt.
I wanted to, I needed to, protect him. I didn't want him to get hurt from anyone or anything. I still don't know why I care about him so much or why he means so much to me. But he is my friend and I knew I wasn't going to let him get hurt.
Not now, not ever.
Candu's POV
Someone... Help. Me.
I was trying to fight the awkwardness of being next to Armstrong's father as we stalked some prey. A lonely caribou that was grazing by itself, eating the surrounding grass as Vincent and I slowly crept up on him. The whole time neither of us said a word, from when we set out to find to now when we started to stalk our pray.
"I'll flank him, you take him down, got it?" Vincent whispered, looking back at me.
Ah the first words he said sense we set out.
"Okay I will..." I answered silently, my voice close to cracking.
He nodded before crawling off to the opposite side of the caribou. His face was stern the whole time, just like it had been sense I met him. I started to wonder if he was always like this, judgmental, stern, serious. The thought of how he raised Armstrong and Leon came to mind, if he trained them to be hunters or if he even showed any love for his children at all.
The sound of hoof steps brought me back to reality and I saw the caribou running towards me, Armstrong's father behind it, snarling and barking at it. I jumped at the animal. My jaws met around its neck only to find myself on the floor. My vision dazed. I didn't even recall what happened, all that I knew was that I was left in the dust by the caribou and Vincent.
Slowly getting up, I ran after them. The thought of Vincent talking down to me again was something I didn't want to see happen. I somehow caught up to Armstrong's father. We glanced at each other and he grew a smirk as he ran, speeding up as he did so. I spend up as well, it was as if it was a race to catch the caribou.
But that was proven wrong when we both jumped at the hoofed animal, a loud crash signaling that it was brought down.
I knew my fangs were somewhere in the animal but I did not even feel when I sunk them in, all I wanted to do was beat Vincent in getting the caribou but I'm not even sure if I did. Everything was just such a blur.
Finally the dust cleared, showing that both of our jaws were around the caribou's neck. It wasn't moving or anything, just lying there dead. I glanced at Vincent and saw that he was looking at me as well. A smile grew on both of our faces, showing that we both agreed that we tied.
"Not bad kid" He said, his fangs detaching from the now fresh caribou corpse.
"Same for you old timer" I replied, smirking at him.
"Old timer? I'm not that old I'll let you know" Vincent retorted, joining me in a smirk.
We laughed for a bit before starting to drag the carcass to Shay's den. We talked for awhile about how Armstrong and I were doing and about how he and Fay were doing. For some reason we seemed to be getting along and not having an awkward silence session again. For once, Armstrong's father and I were getting along.
"So Candu..." Vincent started, his voice returning back to its normal self. "Shay tells me you and my son have mated"
My legs buckled, causing me to fall down with a blush across my face. I was going to kill that wolf next time I saw him...
"W-what?!"
"You mated with my son?" He asked, still dragging the caribou.
I tried to come up with an answer. I mean how do you say to someone like Vincent that you've mated with his son? I was trying to come up with something but my mouth only admitted the sound of low pitch squeaks.
"Well?" He asked, sounding a little irritated.
"I-I-I...I have" I answered, answering before he could get even more mad.
He didn't respond, I heard a grunt maybe but other than that I didn't hear any other audible indications that he was going to talk to me. I kept my distance anyway, fearing he would lash out at me.
We, finally, arrived at Shay's 'den'. Even if it looked like a giant pile of dirt.
"Shay! Get out here!" Vincent yelled, calling out his younger brother.
From out of no where, Shay's head popped out of the dirt and shook himself free of the debris before smiling at us.
"Oh! Back so soon?" Shay asked, chuckling.
"Shut up, we brought the caribou for Lara" Vincent answered, dropping the caribou.
"Thanks big brother! Did you two have fun?" Shay asked, a smirk growing on his face.
Vincent and I looked at each other. His eyes went over me curiously, examining me as he did so. His face grew a smile before finally turing to Shay and nodding. Shay smiled and went back inside, leaving us alone.
"Well...I better be heading off" Vincent sighed, walking away.
"Wait, aren't you going to come in?"
"No, I have more work to do. But I wouldn't mind hunting with you again Candu, I'll see you soon" He answered, walking off.
"I'll...see you soon" I replied.
I carried the caribou into the den, with little difficulty before Armstrong tackled me and put our lips together. I was a little shocked by this but I never gave up the chance to kiss my wonderful mate so I excepted it and kissed him back.
"I MISSED YOU!" He said, breaking the kiss for a mere second before he kissed me yet again.
"I missed you to Sweetheart" I chuckled, stroking his back to calm him down.
"Did Vincent hurt you?!" He asked, checking my body for any wounds or scratches.
I laughed and brought his face up with a single finger and kissed his lips one more time, he was so cute when he was worried and panicked like this, then again, he was cute all the time to me wether he was worried, nervous, shy, sleepy, etc.
"No babe, he didn't lay a single finger on me" I promised, crossing my heart.
"Okay, OH! I'M GOING TO BE A COUSIN!" Armstrong cheered as he stood with his paws on my chest, his tail wagging uncontrollably fast.
"A cousin?"
He ran deeper inside the 'den' and passed Stephon, who I just now noticed was there, and laid down next to Shay and a female wolf, staring at her stomach with his tail still wagging as he continued to look at her stomach.
I walked over to him, saying "Hi" to Stephon on the way before laying down next to my mate. Getting greeted by Shay's mate on the way there.
"I'm going to guess your my nieces mate? Candu correct?" She asked in a sweat tone.
"Yes Ma'am" I answered, nuzzling my black furred mate.
"You can call me Fay, Candu" She responded, nuzzling Shay.
Armstrong was constantly staring at her stomach, so much that I had to lightly nudge him to get him to stop staring.
"What?" He asked, cutely tilting his head
"Rude much?"
"What can I say? I love pups..." He answered, his tail wagging.
"Pups?"
"She's pregnant" Stephon retorted, walking over to us.
"Oh! Now I get it!"
Shay rolled his eyes and licked Fay's cheek, smirking at me. Reminding me I had to kill him next time Armstrong wasn't around.
"So...did you guys talk about anything interesting?" Shay asked, teasing me.
"You mean the fact that you told Vincent that Armstrong and I mated?"
Armstrong's ears perked up, his eyes widening and his gaze leaving Fay's stomach and looking at me then Shay.
"You did what?!"
Shay stuck his tongue out of the side of his muzzle, grinning.
"I can't keep secrets from my big brother..." He replied, saying it in a pup like voice as he pressed his ears down to the back of his head.
"I never thought I would want to kill you Uncle..." Armstrong said, frowning.
"You would kill your adorable Uncle in front of everyone?" Shay asked in a teasing tone.
"Nope, I'm gonna wait until your alone" Armstrong answered.
I wasn't sure if he was kidding or not, his tone seemed pretty serious right now. But now I didn't care about Shay or the fact that he told the leader of the pack that we were staying in that I had mated with his son. All that mattered was my wonderful mate. Wait...am I forgetting someone? I could have sworn there was someone else I was supposed to find.
"Love...where's Sirius?"
"Oh! He's with Cole, Cole said he wanted to spend the night with him and Byron" Armstrong answered, still glaring at his Uncle.
"What about Leon, Hutch and Cyrus?"
Armstrong continued to look at Shay before sighing and turning his attention to me.
"They came by earlier, Hutch is going to stay with Leon and Cyrus went back to his den, but he should be coming back here in the morning" Armstrong answered, smiling.
I smiled back, nuzzling him lovingly. He was all I needed to be happy, although I would have to go make a note to go see how Hutch was doing with his boyfriend, I still had Armstrong by my side and he made me happy. Pure and simple.
Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder what is going to happen next? ;) Well we're going to have to wait until next time to find out lol I'm sorry for waiting so long to update, I've been pretty busy with other things, including another story I'm writing. But I finally updated and I hope you enjoyed :) Please Review and as I always say...
