Alpha and Omega: The Reunion
Vincent's POV
"He's leaving today dear, this is your last chance to tell him" Fay said, nuzzling me.
"I don't know if he'll listen to me, not after all of the horrible things I've done to him" I answered, looking down at the floor.
"He's your son and you're his father, he'll listen to you darling"
"Okay, I'll try" I replied, smiling at my mate and kissing her.
"Good, now lets go, he'll be leaving pretty soon" She informed getting up and leaving to go tell my son what I decided.
Armstrong's POV
"It's about time!" I said, smiling and walking in circles around my mate.
"You're almost to happy babe" Candu laughed, watching me.
"Yeah Daddy!" Sirius said as he tagged Conrad "I haven't seen you this happy in a while"
"Eh, I'm just excited to go home but just like last time no one else is here!" I said, looking around and only seeing myself, Candu, Conrad, Sirius and Drake.
"Where are they?"
"Byron is bringing Cole right now!" Conrad answered, tagging Drake and hiding behind Sirius.
"Ugh..." Candu groaned making me roll my eyes.
"Don't act like you haven't been late before brother" Leon said, walking up with Hutch as they stuck really close to the other.
"Auntie Leon!" Sirius yelled, smiling.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Leon growled, getting in Sirius' face.
I rolled my eyes, this reminded me a lot of when I left Jasper Park with Humphrey and the others. Just with a lot less wolves.
"Where have you two been?"
"We've been spending all of our time together, planning our wedding and everything" Leon answered, putting his head under Hutch's.
"Speaking of which, when are you two getting married?" I asked
They both looked at each and nodded which meant that they either both made the decsion or they were doing the telekentic thing they always do.
"When we get back to Jasper" They both answered, nuzzling each other again.
"Well its about time Auntie Leon!" Sirius teased, smiling as he was tackled down to the ground by Drake.
"Stop calling me that!" Leon growled yet again.
Candu laughed and I used my tail to hit his shoulder to show that I wanted him to stop his teasing.
"I guess now all we have to do here is wait for Cole and Stephon then" I informed, making Sirius look at me and stop his playing.
"W-wait, Spaz isn't here yet!"
"Cyrus isn't coming with us Sirius..."
His expression was just as I expected it to be, he started to cry although he didn't break down he still cried. He looked the opposite way and tried to hide the fact that he was actually sad that Cyrus, known to him as Spaz, wasn't coming with us.
"O-oh, well I guess its for the best" He cried getting a nuzzle from both Conrad and Drake.
"Sirius, you can go say goodbye if you want, we can wait" Candu suggested, laying on his back.
"N-no, h-he's probably busy" Sirius cried, sighing deeply.
I shook my head, I knew he wanted to go say goodbye to Cyrus but he was just to proud to do so.
Just as I was about to suggest that Sirius do it anyway, the last of my friends showed up. Both Stephon and Byron were helping Cole as he walked into view, one on each side of him although it didn't really look like he needed them but knowing Byron he probably made him do it.
"Really Byron, Steph, I can walk" He said, trying to assure the two wolves.
"I know, but we're just making sure" Stephon retorted, putting on a grin.
Candu gave a grunt at the sight of Byron and turned his head away, ignoring him. Only to recieve another slap from my tail on his shoulder.
"We're ready Army!" Stephon announced, smiling.
"Okay good, are you sure you can walk Cole?" I asked, making sure my friend was well enough for the long journey ahead.
"Of course! I wouldn't say I could if I couldn't right?" Cole asked rhetorrically, putting on a smirk.
I nodded, sighing deeply and looking around, getting one last look at the place I grew up in, taking in the sight of the tree, breathing in the familiar air then turning back to Byron.
"Byron..." I said, getting the attention of the silver furred wolf as he let Cole lean on him still "I need you to say goodbye to my parents, Shay, Lara, their pups and Cyrus for me, oh, and Emma to"
He rubbed the back of his head nervously and a sort of sly grin appeared on his face.
"Well I can't really do that"
"Why not?" Candu growled.
I rolled my eyes at him and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well...I kinda got permission to help Cole all they way back to your pack" He said, turning the grin into a smile at Cole.
"NO!" Candu yelled, shaking his head.
I sighed and heard Candu growl while Conrad smiled and barked happily, finding his way to Byron and Cole and nuzzling them both.
"You. Are. Not. Coming. With. Us!" Candu growled, getting up.
"I don't care what YOU think, I'm doing this Cole" He replied, smirking.
Conrad didn't seem to care, he was just inbetween the two wolves, leaning against Cole more, while Stephon laid down and let Sirius and Drake climb all over him while Leon and Hutch waited to leave along with me.
"Come on babe, just deal with it, we're going to be much faster on our way back home anyway" I reminded, walking on the trail "Now lets go"
"YAY! A new adventure!" Sirius announced, smiling when he jumped onto my back and began pulling on my ear while Drake traveled near Leon and Hutch.
Finally, I was able to go home, to Jasper. I got to see my cousins born, see my family once again, my friends, meet two new pups and got Sirius his first two friends.
"Love..."
I looked at my mate, seeing him with his head tilted before he leaned up and licked my cheek.
"Are you sure you're ready to go? We can stay a little longer if you want" He offered, putting his head on top of mine.
"Yeah, I'm sure" I answered, nuzzling him as the others walked ahead.
"Okay then" Candu replied, going ahead.
I was about to go with him when I heard yet another call out from someone I didn't really want to hear from right now.
"Armstrong!"
My fur stood up slightly at the sound of his voice. Vincent.
When I looked I also saw my Mother which brought a smile on my face when she walked up.
"Hey Mom!" I said, nuzzling her as she returned the nuzzle.
"Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?" She asked that same gentle smile appearing on her face again.
"No, well, yes. I was planning on having Byron say goodbye for me but then I found out he was coming with us" I answered.
"No need to apologize Armstrong, we understand, but we want to say goodbye"
She stepped aside, letting my Dad walk up with his head down but what seemed to be a smile on his face.
"I'll leave you two alone" Mom said before nuzzling me and going over to where my mate was standing and waiting for me.
It was awkward, standing here alone with my Father, I hadn't been alone with my Father in years and all we could do was not look at each other.
"I wanted to tell you something"
"What is it?" I half growled.
"I approve"
I was shocked, he approved? Was he approving of me and Candu as mates?
"W-what do you mean you approve?"
"I mean you have my blessings Armstrong, you and Candu" He replied, looking up at me with a smile.
I stayed speechless, I didn't know what to say, what caused my father to have such a sudden change in mind?
"...Why..."
He stayed quiet, knowing I had more to say.
"Why? After all this time, would you just all of a sudden give me your blessings like that?" I asked, tears going down my face.
His smile went away as he walked up and put his paw on my forehead like he always used to do when I was a pup and crying. Just like I was now.
But this time, his smile turned to a happy smirk.
"Because, you're my son" I looked at him and he hugged me "And I'll always love you no matter what"
"T-then why did you kick me out like the way you did?"
"If I didn't, they would have been teasing you, fighting with you and perhaps even kill you! I-I couldn't let them do that, so I kicked you out, I sent Byron secretly to tell you about that train and give you the supplies" He added.
I looked at him, staring.
"Y-you sent Byron to do that?"
"Of course, your Dad may be old but he can still plan things out really well" He joked, putting on a little laugh as he sat down.
"But why? Why do you approve?"
"Because, after spending a lot of time with Candu, he's not bad, even managed to best me in hunting and I have total trust he'll take care of you, so does your mother"
My smile grew bigger, they both supported me and they never stopped supporting me.
"You should be going now, your mate is waiting" He added, winking at me.
"Thanks Dad, I guess this is going to be goodbye?"
He nodded, hugging me once more.
"Just promise you'll visit from time to time? I'm going to miss you and Candu and I must say I've grown quite attached to Sirius"
"I promise, could you do me a favor and say goodbye to Cyrus and the others for me?"
"Sure thing..." He answered, before his voice changed entirely "...I love you Son..."
"I love you to Dad" I replied as we gave one nuzzle to each other.
"Oh and tell Leon I approve to" He added, smiling once more.
I had no idea what he meant but I finally understand why my Father did that so many years ago, not to hurt me but to save me and protect me. He still loves me as a son and he never stopped, the only reason he was being nasty to me and my mate was to put on an act of some sort.
He was protecting me.
I walked away, not looking back, with a smile on my face. It brought back a memory of some sort, this was the trail I took to leave here when I left the pack and I was crying then, but now, all I could do was smile and for the first time in my life I felt...
Complete...
Candu may be my other half, but me, this half of me wasn't complete not until just now. I couldn't explain it.
It just felt...Good.
"...Yes Ma'am" I heard Candu say as he finished his conversation with my Mother.
"Good, we have high hopes for you Candu, don't let us down" Fay finished.
"And I'll live up to them Ma'am" He retorted, putting on a reassuring smile.
She nodded and then turned to me, a tear going down her eye.
"T-take good care of yourself Armstrong" She cried.
"I-I will Mom" I answered, nuzzling her.
"And tell Leon we approve of Hutch"
My eyes widened and so did Candu's, how did they know?!
"H-how..."
"It was obvious darling, to tell you the truth, we knew when he and Hutch showed up late together"
"Oh" Candu said, looking at the two as they watched along with the others.
"Yup so tell him we approve, okay?"
"I will Mom" I nodded my head.
She nodded as well, giving me one last nuzzle before going to Dad and sitting next to him, watching us as we walked to the others, Candu and I looked back at them one last time and waved our goodbyes before walking away with the others.
"Let's go home..."
