Alpha and Omega: The Reunion
Cole's POV
"Byron..." I couldn't breath.
I just stared at him, blushing like crazy especially when he took my paw in his.
"I've loved you sense the day I saw you, it just took me some time to figure it out" He said, kissing my paw.
I blushed harder, from two things, knowing that the wolf I loved just kissed my paw and the fact that Conrad was here, listening in on everything.
"Will you? Will you do me the honor of making me the luckiest wolf in the world and be my mate" He asked, looking up at me.
"I-I..." What was I supposed to say?
This was so random and unexpected! But at the same time it was a dream come true...I want to say yes! I felt ready, he cared for me enough to help me through a rough time, he let me stay with him and he's never left my side, I love him.
I already knew I loved him but never once did it cross my mind that
"Y-yes! Of course I will!" I cried, smiling at the wolf as his ears went flat for the first ever time.
He looked so cute like that, it was the first time I've ever seen him do that. I smiled, licking his cheek and giving him a nuzzle which actually made him blush. Imagine that, a big strong wolf like Byron who makes a habbit of not showing any emotion at all and he's blushing like a love sick puppy right in front of me.
I leaned forward, kissing him. I swear I didn't even mean to do it, it was as I just wanted it, and it was a simply amazing experience he kissed back, putting his paw on my cheek and gently rubbing it as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
Our noses touching in the process.
He was passionate, gentle and caring. It showed in his kiss, it showed how he was normally without all that tough exterior but he was so cute when he kissed me, rubbing my cheek gently.
We continued to kiss for awhile before eventually pulling away, staring deep into his emerald green eyes and smiling. I found my mate.
Conrad's POV
I smiled, listening while Byron proposed to Cole and they kissed to me I found it really romantic but I still was curious why Byron wanted me to be here.
"Congratulations Byron! Cole!" I congratulated, smiling.
"Thank you Conrad" Cole answered, sounding very happy.
"Yes, thank you" Byron replied, nuzzling Cole.
I nodded, waiting for something to happen, I don't really know what happens after two wolves agree to marry each other it must have been awkward for them sense I know it was for me.
"I'll leave you two alone" I announced turning to walk away.
"Wait! Conrad!"
I turned to the sound of Byron's voice, tilting my head as to why he would want me to be here with his soon to be mate close to him.
"Y-yeah?"
"Theres a reason I brought you here to" Byron informed, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Really? Why?"
I felt an awkward pause, showing that Byron must of been thinking of what to say or trying to figure out how to say it.
"Well I don't really know how to say this but uh..." Byron took a long pause, sorta humming as if trying to come up with the words to say "W-well I kinda wanted to adopt you"
"A-ADOPT?!" I screamed, hearing the word exit from his mouth.
"Y-yeah, if you would like to..." Byron then nuzzled Cole "We could be a part of your family..."
I could feel them, the tears going down my face, into my scarf, and drying there being absorb by the fibers, even though I couldn't see them I felt a sudden warmth by their presence a safe feeling but at the same time it felt as if it had been there for a while now.
They took care of me when Sirius and Drake were out playing, Cole comforted me until I fell asleep and even then he still stayed by me as I slept and when I woke up Byron had went out of his way to go get me some food knowing I couldn't hunt for myself.
They even continued watching me after that, taking shifts with Sirius and Drake to make sure I was okay and they would always spend the nights with me, putting me in between them, providing warmth in the cold nights with their bodies combined with my already cozy scarf.
I loved spending time with them! They brought me such comfort and a safe feeling. I wanted that. I wanted to have that, the same feeling I had when my Mom was still alive. Because with them, that secure sense came back.
"W-why would you want to adopt me?" I asked, lowering my head.
"Because I enjoy having you around!" Byron answered
"So do I, and I'd really like the chance to watch and help you grow up" Cole added.
I cried harder, running towards where I last heard their voices and grabbing onto Cole's front leg, nuzzling him, crying into his leg. I felt Byron go down and nuzzle me, Cole going down and doing the same. This...it made me so happy they both helped me and truly loved me.
So...
This is what a family feels like.
Armstrong's POV
"...Then we got here!" Sirius finished, taking a deep breath as he finished his LONG story about his adventures while he was under my care.
"Thats quite the story honey" Lydia congratulated towards her son.
"I know right?! I had an amazing time with Daddy-Armstrong!"
I blushed at his comment, nervously. I knew he liked the time he spent with me but loving it? It felt nice to know that.
"Well did you thank him for such a good time?" Lydia asked, acting like the true motherly figure she was.
"N-no, but I will right now!" Sirius answered running up to me and hugging me deeply "Thank you Daddy!" He yelled as I hugged him back.
I promised I wouldn't cry and it was getting really hard to hold the tears back as I held him close for the last time.
"Y-your welcome Sirius..." I nearly cried.
There was an awkward silence.
Everyone knew that now we had to leave Sirius but no one wanted to, especially not Drake and you could tell by how he wasn't leaving his side. He wanted to stay with his friend.
"It's almost time" Stephon pointed out, sighing slightly.
"Yeah..."
Everyone had a sad expression on their face.
I just didn't know what to do, I couldn't stay as much as I would like to and spend more time with Sirius, but maybe...could they...
"I don't want to leave Daddy-Armstrong!" Sirius burst out, tears going freely down his cheeks, holding onto my front leg.
"But Sirius, its time for them to go home" Lydia said, trying to cheer her son up.
"B-but I don't want to! I have way to much fun with them!" Sirius said.
Lydia sighed, looking to me for an answer which I couldn't come up with, but somehow Candu did...
"Well ummmmm, I have a suggestion" Candu brought up, raising his paw.
I found it cute, how polite he was being in this situation, so cute that I kissed his cheek, doing a little chuckle as his face turned red.
"W-well you could always come live with us at Jasper..." He suggested, sounding very nervous.
Lydia looked at Sirius, who was jumping around and shaking his head, nearly screaming his head off in agreement.
"PLEASE MOM?! IT'S A GREAT IDEA! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE?!" He asked, his tail shaking like crazy as he stared at his mother.
"I don't know...we might be unwanted company"
Lydia seemed unsure about my mates suggestion, was it that she wanted to stay here? Wait and see if her mate would come back to her and Sirius? Or was she just worried that they weren't going to welcomed to Jasper Park? Either way, it would be best if they did come with us. It's dangerous for her and Sirius to be out here alone with just the two of them, something could happen.
"Trust me Lydia" I started, throwing on my famous smile "You won't be a problem, they did have Cyrus there for a day"
Sirius nodded at me then quickly turned to his mother with excitement, standing tall and continuing to wag his tail.
"Pllllllllllllleeeeeeeaaaaasssseee, Mom?" Sirius begged, whimpering a little.
She sighed deeply, looking at her son then at the rest of us.
With a small excited smile she looked at Sirius and answered:
"Okay, but if don't want us there, we're leaving, okay honey?"
I wasn't sure if she was expecting to get an answer from Sirius but she didn't, instead, he jumped up and hugged me and Candu before running outside and looking back at all of us from the den entrance.
"Come on! What are you guys waiting for?!" Sirius asked rhetorrically before running ahead of us.
Of course, Drake was the first one to follow the younger pup, yelling at him to slow down which Sirius responded by saying he wasn't going to wait for the 'old wolves' this of course got Leon riled up and he began chasing the two pups, yelling back at them while Hutch put on a loving smile and followed his soon to be mate.
"Eager aren't they?" Stephon asked, raising an eyebrow at us as we all walked out and slowly followed.
From then on, it was easy streak. Well, not really, we had quite a surprise when we all met up again and Cole, Byron and Conrad gave us the news, but I wasn't all that surprised when they told me. I knew they liked each other but they that they LOVED each other?! That was a bit of a surprise along with the fact that they wanted to adopt young Conrad as their own.
All of us were suportive, except of course for Candu. When he found out that Byron was going to be staying in Jasper from now on he began throwing a fit and saying it wasn't going to happen while he had anything to say about it but eventually I got him to calm down, somehow.
Everything went swimingly for days to pass until we came across the bridge where Stephon almost died if it wasn't for Cole saving him. But while we were trying to figure out how to get over, Byron picked up his soon to be mate and adoptive son, ran back a good distance before running forward and jumping over the trench.
At first, we all thought that they were going to fall straight down, but even now after knowing him for all of my life I was still amazed by his strength and speed but somehow he managed to get himself and the other two over the huge gap in the earth.
"NICE JOB BYRON!" Sirius yelled, admiring the strength the older Alpha had.
"Thanks love" Cole thanked, smiling at Byron.
"Yeah thanks Dad!" Conrad thanked as well, nuzzling his new found father.
Candu growled from my side.
"Thats nothing!" He said as he backed up.
And this is when he does something stupid.
He ran foward, hoping to be able to jump over the trench like Byron had just done but when he ran forward my heart beat rose, when he jumped off of the ledge, it felt like it was going to exploud when he started to fall. I wanted to run out there and get him but I didn't really need to.
As Candu fell and we all ran forward, Byron went to the ledge and just barely grabbed my mates scruff, straining to keep him from falling into the deep dark trench.
I could hear the sound of Byron straining to get Candu up, the grunts and growls and of course screaming from Candu as he desperately tired to get up, clawing and kicking at the wall of the canyon. Luckily, Cole went over to Byron, running as quickly as he could, grabbed my mates scruff and pulled, helping him up. Even Conrad did his part, trying with all of his might to pull up Candu's tail.
I gave a sigh of relief when they managed to pull him up to flat ground. The rest of us ran across the whole edge of the trench until we found an old human bridge which you could tell was falling apart by the holes in the floor boards which for some reason Sirius kept looking down when he was crossing along with his mother.
Hutch made Leon get on his back and I ran across as the first one to go and see if my mate was okay, but when I got there I saw something I never thought I'd see.
Candu and Byron shaking paws.
I stopped, tilting my head at the two and staring in disbelief and when Sirius, Drake and the others came up, stared in the same way and tilted their own heads as well.
Candu smiled, walked over to me and I kissed him so deeply. He took it as a surprise but kissed back anyway, continuing to smile and if anything he had a bigger smile.
"Don't you ever do something as stupid as that again!" I ordered, kissing him once more before burrying my head into his chest, nuzzling it to try and calm myself down.
"I'm sorry babe, I promise I won't" He responded, rubbing my back gently.
Byron walked up, with Cole at his side and Conrad on his head, Conrad's scarf covering one of the silver furred wolf's eyes as he chuckled at the pup.
"T-thank you Byron" I thanked, not leaving the comfort of my mates chest.
"No problem"
"Come on slow pokes! We're almost there!" Sirius called out, climbing onto Byron's back and grabbing Conrad before jumping down and making the smaller pup run with him even if he had trouble but thankfully Lydia followed close by to make sure the two pups were okay.
"Candu" Byron spoke up, getting our attention "You want to race ahead, pal?" He asked.
"Sure!" Candu answered then turning to me "May I go love?"
"Uhhhhhhh sure" I replied, a little weirded out that they actually wanted to spend time with each other.
Candu smirked and ran ahead, racing with Byron as I slowly followed along with Stephon at my side, what the heck happened to those two?!
Candu's POV
"We're here!" Stephon called out, smiling and wagging his white furred tail.
All of us looked out at the lush green scene before us, the huge waterfall the trees, the indistingishable wolves walking around some talking and some running around. I smiled at the scene. Finally after so long we were home, but there was still something I needed to do before going home to rest in me and my mates den.
"It's so beautiful" Lydia gasped "More beautiful than I imagined"
"Come on love! Lets go get settled in!" Hutch exclaimed, pulling Leon along with him to head to their den.
"Well we should probably go and introduce ourselves" Cole suggested, keeping his head under Byron's.
"Good idea babe, but I have no idea where to go"
Stephon stepped up, smiling at the two love birds and Conrad as he urged them to follow him.
"Come on, I'll show you guys to Winston's den" Stephon offered.
"Okay, thank you Steph" Byron thanked, nodding at the slightly shorter wolf.
"Eh, don't mention it, just being a good friend" Steph smirked, walking ahead.
Byron and Cole slowly followed, waiting for Conrad to follow before Sirius and Drake, of course, grabbed him, pulled him away from his new parents and followed a nearby trail.
"What are you two doing?!" He asked, struggling a little.
"Going to go meet the other pups!" Drake answered.
"Maybe get in trouble to" Sirius added, wagging his tail.
"Wait! I don't want to!"
They didn't listen, I didn't expect them to, they carried poor little Conrad away until they weren't seen any more, leaving Lydia, myself and my mate to ourselves.
"Well..." I smiled "...This way babe"
I grabbed his ear and pulled, leading him away until he stopped us.
"Wait dear! We have to go show Lydia where she'll be staying before we do anything" He objected, pulling his ear away.
"Oh don't mind me, you two go ahead, I have to go find Sirius before he gets us kicked out anyway"
I smirked, nibbling his ear again while he didn't really acknowledge it and just kept the conversation with Lydia going.
"Are you sure? We don't mind"
"Yes, of course, you two just go have fun, I'll see you when you get back" She answered, putting on her calming smile.
"Okay thank you!" I thanked, pulling my mate away.
I looked up at the sky.
Almost dark.
I needed to go faster, so I started running with Armstrong closly behind me.
"What are you doing Candu?!"
"Just hurry up!" I said back, looking at him.
Armstrong sighed deeply, just keeping quiet and following. He knew I always did weird things, I mean we've been mated for more than a year now so of course he knows I can do a lot of weird things from time to time, and so stupid things as well.
But this, this I had planned for most of my life. I smiled at the thought of it, showing the wolf I love the most beautiful thing I've seen thats nearly as beautiful as he is in my eyes.
(This is going to be the final POV to the story and if you would like to, I'd suggest listening to the following song, it adds an emotional feeling to the scene ahead)
Christina Perri-A Thousand Years
Armstrong's POV
"C-can we slow down? I've been carrying Sirius and Drake for most of the day and most of the time we've been traveling" I panted, slowing down drastically.
I needed to get back in shape, I was actually starting to feel like and 'old wolf'.
"Shhhhhh love, you can stop now, we're here" He cooed, stopping at the top of the highest mountain I've been at in my life, and nothing was here! It was dark and nothing was here except for a little pool in the middle of the large field.
I fell to my side, panting and exhausted.
Candu chuckled and walked to my side, nuzzling me and laying down, proping my head on his shoulder and using his body to keep me warm.
"So what are we doing up here?" I asked, not moving my head to look at him.
"It's going to happen now" He said, looking up at the sky.
I was going to ask what was going to happen when it happened, the night I would never forget.
The lights.
The Northern Lights.
Colors of green, purple, blue, yellow, every color you could ever imagine dancing around in a simply beautiful display that I couldn't even fathom before now, it was like watching the ocean colored in the sky flow ever so gently that they were pratically ribbons that I could just grab. I couldn't take my eyes off of them, I just laid there my mouth open slightly and watching as the specticle took place and light up the whole area around us.
It was simply beautiful.
"Look down" Candu whispered in my ear.
I did and saw something just as amazing, white flowers, everywhere. The lights dancing in the sky showed the hidden flowers from their dark hiding spot. They then to reflected the colors, shining just as much as the sky did, constantly changing just like the ribbons. Even the flowers that we around me shown and mirrored the colors on to both of our pelts.
"Happy Anniversary Armstrong" He whispered, smiling at me.
I cried, looking at my mate. This is what he wanted to show me that one night!
"I found this place when I was a pup, I stayed up here all night looking at the lights and I knew this is where I wanted to bring my mate when and if I ever got one" He said, blushing and lowering his head.
"Do you like it?"
I put my head under his, nuzzling him lovingly. My soul mate.
"I love it Candu" I cried, tears streaming down "I love you with all of my heart and soul"
"I love you to with every fiber of my being" He said, crying as well as we curled our tails together and touched noses, looking deep into each others eyes as the lights danced around on our fur.
I truly loved him.
Ever sense the first time I saw him, the first time I met him in Winston's den.
"... and there hunting partner, Candu he's the one who carried you back here."
When I fell into his arms after tripping over Winton's left over caribou scraps, the first actual contact we had.
"I'm SO sorry I should have been careful where I was walking" I applogized when Candu helped me up.
"It's okay" he said his voice going threw me and causing me to shudder as he touch my fur to help me up.
When we fought off Scar and Claw and held each other tight, when our feelings started to grow. Our first kiss at the Moonlight Howl. Then of course when I got shot and he saved my life.
"CANDU?"
I turned completely around and saw Armstrong standing there at the opposite side of the clearing with tear's rolling down his face.
"ARMSTRONG!"
I ran as fast as I could towards Armstrong and him to me, both of us looking at the other with desperation, just wanting to get out of here together safe and unharmed. When we were mere feet away I heard the cock of a gun and as we were about to hold each other in the other's arms I heard the gun shot.
I wrapped my arms around Armstrong and held him close as he did to me, tears strolling down both of our faces and on to the other's pelt, dampening the fur that was met by the water, but that didn't matter right now, all I knew was that Armstrong was safe and I was relieved
"Candu..." Armstrong spoke up
I unwrapped my arms around him to look at him in the eye's but what I saw terrified me more than anything I've seen. As I released my hold on Armstrong and drew back my arms I found that my grayish fur on my paws were no longer colored grey, they were colored in a sickish crimson red. I looked down at my paws in terror while trying to register what just happened when Armstrong spoke up again.
"Candu..."
I turned my attention from my paws to Armstrong and found something even worse. In the middle of Armstrong's chest there was a hole covered in crimson red and leaking it down from his chest to the floor below and causing the sickish red to pool up into a puddle. Armstrong put a shaking paw over the wound and then retracted to paw to find it covered in blood, his blood, Armstrong looked from his paw up to me with blank eye's.
"Candu I-I..."
Armstrong didn't finish his sentence before he fell forward and I caught him in my arms and I found a hole on his back also covered in crimson red, that's when I knew what happened, Armstrong, my love,my soon to be mate, and my reason for life was shot.
When we got married and all of the other things that made me fall madly in love with him, our attempt at an anniversary, when we made up after our first fight, protecting each other when he were attacked, finding Sirius, Conrad, and Drake. Getting over the fight with Byron. Recieving my parents blessings.
We've been through so much, but we got through it all together, we found love in each other and we are living happily together. I have a god son, I have a home, I have friends and most importantly, I have Candu, a mate who loves me as much as I love him.
I found him Nathan, the mate you wanted me to have and if it wasn't for him I would have never had found that one wolf I can spend the rest of my life with.
Candu and I spent the rest of the night up there, watching the lights dance with each other as warmth and in the morning we went down together and we went home.
I found that one true love, it took me getting kicked out of my pack, finding a mate, losing that mate, finding a new home and a new mate to get him but I wouldn't take it back. This is the life I wanted, this is the life I was given and I wouldn't want it any other way.
