The red furred Omega was frozen in fear. Her wide violet eyes, darted from her boyfriend, to the bear growling and snarling at them, and to the hunter that had his rifle pointed in their direction. Just as the bear lunged at the two wolves, a shot rang out, sending the Omega's mind in overdrive as she began to mentally relive everything that lead up to this moment.
The fall before Kate and Garth's wedding, Megan was walking through the western forest, taking in the crisp, cool air as she walked along side her loving boyfriend, Humphrey. Humphrey's friend Kate had left for Alpha School two weeks ago, and said Omega was feeling rather lonely. It was no secret among the western pups that Humphrey had a crush on Kate, with many telling him it would never go beyond that.
Eventually, Humphrey finally accepted that truth.
And not long after that, Humphrey met Megan.
At first he was a bit confused as she seemed to remind him of Kate, but as an Omega. She was kind, funny, and in Humphrey's opinion, a real looker. Eventually, Humphrey accepted that he needed to move on from his feelings from Kate and asked Megan out.
The two spent their first date in a secluded area, away from the other Omega's. The two just spent their time playing when all of a sudden, they heard the unmistakable sound of a bolt on a rifle. Looking to the source of the sound, the two saw a hunter, dressed in camouflage, aiming a rifle in their direction.
Megan's eyes widened in fear.
"Humphrey?" she asked in worry.
Humphrey just stood his ground.
"Okay Megan," he said, "get ready to run like you've never run before, and no matter what you may see or hear, you keep running."
Megan quickly nodded, tensing the muscles in her legs for what could very well be the run of her life.
"Now!"
And just as Megan started running, a shot rang out. But Megan did not stop, and did as Humphrey instructed and kept running.
Humphrey opened his clenched eyes, confused as to why he didn't feel any pain. Looking in the direction of the hunter, he saw the man stand to his feet and begin walking toward Humphrey. But as the man approached, Humphrey was surprised to see him walk right past him, and toward a bear that he and Megan must not have noticed, a fresh bullet hole in it's head. The way it laid made it very clear that it was about to pounce when the hunter shot it.
Humphrey realized what had just happened;
The hunter saved him and Megan.
The hunter, after checking the bear, turned to Humphrey. Removing his hood and mouth cover, Humphrey was met with the sight of a blonde haired human, his hazel eyes framed by a pair of square glasses. The Omega suddenly froze as he locked eyes with the hunter, who smirked at Humphrey.
"Hey there boy," he greeted in a rich baritone, crouching down so that he was eye level with the young pup, who backed away in fear.
"It's okay, Old Sam's not gonna hurt you," the hunter reassured, reaching into a pouch on his hip and pulling out a piece of caribou jerky, holding it out to Humphrey, who, drawn by the smell of meat, cautiously approached the human. After retrieving the piece of meat, Humphrey sat beside the hunter, who apparently was called Sam, in turn sat down with groan. Humphrey soon found himself being patted on the head by the human who just saved his life.
Letting out a sigh, the human spoke again.
"Good thing I happened upon you and your lady when I did." Sam and Humphrey shared a smile, but Humphrey's soon fell when he remembered Megan. Bolting from his sitting spot, Humphrey suddenly stopped, looking back to the human, and left after exchanging respective nods of gratitude and "not at all."
Megan was a panicked wreck when Humphrey found her, but seemed to calm down when Humphrey began to tell her that his new human friend, Sam, had actually save them from the bear. Even so, Humphrey was still quite surprised when Megan smashed her lips against his. Pulling away, Megan buried her head in Humphrey's chest, sobbing uncontrollably.
"I thought I lost you."
Humphrey embraced Megan tightly before whispering in her ear,
"Never."
The two graduated Omega School, and to celebrate, were on their way to the Moonlight Howl, when they came face to face with a rather large grizzly, which brings us back to the start.
A shot rang out.
The bear fell just feet from Humphrey and Megan, the latter of which was pressed tightly against her boyfriend with her eyes clenched shut. Slowly opening her eyes, Megan could see the hunter crouched over the bear, making sure it was dead. Looking to the two wolves, the hunter removed his head coverings, revealing to Humphrey the familiar, smiling face of his two-legged friend.
"Saving the two of you is starting to become a habit, " he laughed, and was soon tackled to the ground has Humphrey began to shower him with licks of gratitude, making the human nearly wet himself laughing.
"Yes, it's good to see you to, boy," he laughed, finally pushing Humphrey off of him. Looking to Megan, Sam slowly sat up and held out his hand to the female, who, with some encouragement form Humphrey, slowly brought her head to the hunter's hand, soon melting into the affectionate petting that he gave her.
"I say she's a real keeper, buddy," Sam said to Humphrey, who nodded in agreement. Before long, Sam left the two wolves alone, taking the bear with, more than likely to the ranger station to register his kill. Megan leaned into Humphrey's side as the pair watched the human walk away.
"I guess not all humans are bad," Megan said softly, causing Humphrey to smile warmly at the receding form of their new friend.
"No they are not," he answered as he placed a tender kiss on his girlfriends head.
