Chapter 3: Not Welcome (written on April 13th, 2019)

It was midday, and Garth and Lilly were still resting from their long walk. Vyni was sleeping as well but in an odd position where her legs were in the air. Alabaan had just woke up from beside her and quickly pointed his eyes to the back of the den. He got up and walked to Lilly then shook her body to wake her up.

"Huh, what...?" she said sleepily. She put her paw over her eyes to block the morning light.

"Hey. Lilly, right?"

"Yes. Is something wrong?"

"Uh, no. Not at all. It's just I have some breakfast if you're hungry." Alabaan moved to the side and Lilly saw a bunch of berries sitting on the floor. She wasn't amused.

"Ohh, bitter berries. It's okay. Garth can hunt."

"With a body built like that, I don't doubt it, but good luck finding food up here. These mountains offer very little nourishment. Besides, these aren't just any old berries. They've been... altered, so to speak, to be far more flavorful and enjoyable to eat. No bitterness. Just sweetness."

"I don't know..."

"C'mon," he insisted. "It's an old family recipe. You wouldn't want to disregard my family, would ya'?"

"Heh, heh. Okay, why not."

"That's the spirit!" With his nose, Alabaan nudged the berries to Lilly. She picked them up and ate a few. To her surprise, they were definitely not bitter.

"Damn... spirits lifted. Heh, heh. I'm genuinely impressed. Your family really knows how to make their fruits."

"Thank you, Lilly."

"Um, can I eat some more? This is really good."

"Well, unfortunately, my family isn't around anymore to keep me a good supply. I need to conserve the ones I have so I can enjoy them later. Also, you wouldn't want to have too much of these little suckers. They have a strong kick to 'em."

"Oh. I see. Aw well then. I'm still a little sleepy. Thanks for the awesome berries."

"Alright. You're welcome. Please. Get yourself all the rest you need. It seems you guys still have quite a journey ahead."

"We do," Lilly replied quietly. She returned her head to the pelt. Alabaan sat nearby and watched her fall back asleep. He then eyed Garth.

"This isn't gonna work," he whispered to himself.

He then grabbed Lilly's hind legs and dragged her body around the corner out of the Alpha's view before going to work. The white she-wolf was gorgeous. Alabaan examined her body meticulously. He especially liked the fact that she was shorter than most she-wolves. The more submissive-looking they were the better. He brought down his left front paw and rubbed his sheath slowly. Secondly, he walked over her until he was standing directly above, and he spread her back legs apart. Lastly, he masturbated to the point where his red, throbbing penis emerged. He lowered himself down and was ready to give himself pleasure.

However, Garth managed to wake up at the last second and tackle him to the ground. His teeth were bared to the max.

"GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU SICK MOTHERFUCKER!"

"Ahh! What's happening?!" Alabaan yelled.

"Don't act stupid! You are well aware of what you were about to do! You're a sick motherfucker! You think you were about to have sex with my Lilly? Think again, little shit!"

"Garth or Barf or whatever your name is. I'm just having a little fun. Don't you like to have fun?"

"I like to have fun, but I'm not a sick wolf like you are. Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you right now? Wolves like you don't even deserve to breathe the same air we breathe."

"Oh, please, Barf, give me a chance. I admit it. I'm sick, so why don't you heal me by taking your precious Omega over there and getting out of the den? I'm not holding you hostage."

"And let you fuck another helpless she-wolf? No way." Garth brought one of his claws to Alabaan's neck. "End of the line."

"Wait! Killing me, that's fine and all, but you won't be able to wake your girlfriend."

"What? What are you talking about?" The Alpha turned around to see Lilly still sleeping. He got off of him and ran to Lilly's side. "What did you do to her?!"

"She's been put in a deep sleep where she can only be awoken by certain circumstances."

"What circumstances?"

"Well, before you tackled me, I was in the process of replicating those conditions."

"What?! You're lying!" he growled.

"Sure, Barf. How 'bout you kill me and see for yourself if I am. Even right now, our barking isn't waking her up. She will stay in that state until she rots and fades to bones and dust!"

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" Garth ran into Alabaan, pushing him outside the den and off the cliffside.

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

Garth collapsed on the ground after realizing what he just did. Alabaan was presumably the only one who knew how to wake Lilly.

"No..." But then a scent reached his nose. He started sniffing the ground and found some berries that had Lilly's scent. He noticed some of them were bitten off and that Lilly had some berry juice on her lips. "This has something to do with it I bet." He looked at Vyni who wasn't sleeping the same way as Lilly, but her face was drenched in the berry blue. "If he can't provide answers, she will..."
