Big Obnoxious Neanderthals Eating Dolphins

"Um… hello?"

'Please don't be who I think it is.' I wound find no such luck however, as I turned around I was met with the sight I most dreaded. Her, in all her beauty. 'Wow, she really hasn't changed that much since I left… still gorgeous'

"Oh sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. Is there anything you need?" I asked. 'Calm and calculated, that's how I'll be.'

"Yes actually, we never really got the chance to talk back in my parents den so, how are you?" She replied shyly.

"As well as can be expected when settling into a new pack," I replied calmly, while on the inside I was panicking. 'She wants to talk to me? I'm not ready for that yet! Wait… just calm down, she just wants to get to know me.'

"Well that's nice. What were you doing before you came here?" She continued with the questions. "I was a lone wolf actually. I simply travelled around before I came upon your pack and thought, 'What the heck, why not give it a try?'"

"Well I hope we can satisfy your needs Mr. Lone Wolf," She replied well naturedly. "However, I am curious. You haven't had much trouble settling in. You seem to know how it works around here…"

'Shit, she's suspicious. What the hell do I say?' I thought, panicking. "I used to be in a pack before I became a lone wolf."

"Oh, well why'd you leave?" She questioned, "If you don't mind me asking that is."

I did, I really did, but… "There was a girl… she was beautiful," I answered. 'What the hell am I doing, she'll know somethings up for sure' I thought, however I persisted, "She'd been my best friend since puppyhood…"

"You loved her, didn't you?" She asked sadly. "Yes, yes I did."

"And she didn't love you back?" She supplied. "No, she didn't… well actually I don't know. I never told her about my feelings."

"Why? Maybe she felt the same way." She inquired. "It wouldn't have mattered, our pack had a rule. A rule that said that no Omega class wolf… could mate with an Alpha class." I paused. My previous statement about the rule certainly got a reaction. 'Are those… tears?'

"W-what?" She all but whispered. "Yes, that's why I left, because no matter what I did, she could never be mine," It was just flowing now, I couldn't stop it. "Even if she could, she didn't like me… like that."

"W-why?" She was remembering what happened between us, I could see. It broke my heart to see the tears sliding down her perfect tan cheeks. "There was another wolf, a much larger Alpha. I never stood a chance. How could I compare? He was big and strong, and I was just some Omega trash… not worthy of her affection." I replied while trying desperately to keep the tears at bay.

"Wait, b-but I thought you were best friends?" She questioned. "We were, before she went to Alpha School. We never really… talked after that." Maybe I was layering it on too thick? At that point, I didn't care.

"To make it worse, she was arranged to marry him," I bit out, 'Even after this long, I'm still bitter about that. How could I not be? It was so unfair…'

"So, what happened then?" She asked, enraptured with my story. "Their wedding. I was watching from afar, and I couldn't take it. I left before the touched noses." I answered, leaving out Sawtooth for… obvious reasons.

"Th-then maybe they didn't, maybe something happened, maybe she did have feelings for you. Why didn't you co-…go back?" She demanded. "Maybe you right, maybe something did happen and she had feelings for me, but it's been too long, I've changed."

"Changed?" She said hotly, "So? That's no reason not to at least check to see if she's happy."

"I can't, how could I? Like I said, we hadn't been friends since she left for Alpha School. Even if I did go back, I couldn't handle seeing them together. Hell, after this long they probably have pups of their own. If I saw that… I don't know what I'd do."

"So that's it? You won't go back because you might see something you don't want to? You're a coward" She said icily. "Yes, you're absolutely right. I am a coward." I said. After that, we just sat there. She was just staring off into the distance and I was looking at her reflection. 'She's still perfect… hell, she may have gotten more perfect since I left. Her fir looks so soft, almost like silk. If only I could reach out and touch it.' I thought.

'Why don't you tell her who you are?' My emotions demanded.

'I can't, like I said, her and Garth probably have pups running around here somewhere.' I supplied, 'And I thought we went over this, if we do this, we do this as Roman.'

'Fine.'

'Well that was simple, back to staring at perfection.' I thought, 'Her muscles are so toned, and her face, she looks like a goddess in the early morning light.' Her amber eyes were filled with emotion, 'probably thinks I'm an idiot.' I moved on though, no reason to get myself down, 'Her smile, though she's not doing it now, it lights up the night sky. Her lips were the definition of kissable. Wait, they moved. But why? Oh, she's talking to me.'

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, what?" I asked.

"What are your reasons, your real ones?" She asked, surprisingly with no anger this time.

"For the longest time, I didn't trust myself." I said.

"What? Didn't trust yourself?" She demanded.

"I didn't trust myself to keep a cool head… if I saw them. What if they had children, and I hated them because they weren't mine? What if I hurt one of them? I could never forgive myself…" I ground out with difficulty, I had never meant to tell anyone about that, my worst nightmare: doing something terrible in a fit of rage.

"Wait, 'For the longest time'? Past tense?" So, she finally connected the dots, and… I was ready.

"Yes, past tense." I said.

"What was her name?" She asked with trepidation.

"Her name? Her name was…Kate," And with that said, I walked away, leaving a stunned wolf behind me.

AN: And that's that. You know, I was debating with myself whether or not I wanted to reveal it in this chapter. In the end though, I think it went pretty well.

Oh yeah, due to one amazing review by one MasterObi-Wan674, I also tried to actually make the dialogue readable with this chapter rather than just bunching it up into one incoherent blob. So, how'd I'd do? I think it worked out gloriously.

And finally, did you like it? If no, then give me all the flames, I love them. If yes, then well, give me a nice review, I love them as well.
