Hutch's POV
Last night was hectic. Is it always like this around here? Geez! But hey, I can't complain. I have a roof over my head-well some tree roots outside. I don't get a den yet until the head Alphas approve my postion in the pack. I am glad none-the-less. But I am REALLY glad Lilly and Garth broke up. Not the part of her seeing him howling with her sister and her being crushed. Just the part that she has someone to cry on. Humphrey seems really special to her and I respect that, especially for an Omega. Speaking of Humphrey I see him coming over to my den-I mean tree. I stretch and walk out of the tangled mess.
"Hey Humphrey! Whats up bud?" I asked playfully.
"Hah! Nothing. Whats up with you?" he said with some pep in his step.
"Nothing. Just sitting here enjoying the sunrise. You seem happy. Whats new?" I asked suspicously.
"Oh nothing really just uh I asked Lilly to be my girlfriend and she said yes!" he started jumping up and down now. In my head
I was thinking, Really Humphrey? Out of all the girl Omegas you pick her? But I just smiled and said."Humphrey thats great!"
"Thanks man! I am stoked! I can't wait till next full moon!" he said excitedly. Yeah. Me either. I thought. If I can't have Lilly I can at least have a mate right? At least this isn't like a pack where only the Alphas can have a mate! Man those packs aren't going to last long!
"Well I had better get back to the den before Lilly realizes I'm gone and panics! Never get Lilly in panic mode! That's a warning!" he said and walks back.
"Hahaha ok I wont!" I called after him.
(Day of the next Moonlight Howl)
Lilly's POV
I am with the boys getting all dirty-as usual-turning my white coat to a kind of light brownish color. Haha I'm gonna be in soooooooo much trouble! Oh well. We are playing tag slipping and sliding and jumping to avoid being tagged. When I jumped to avoid Mooch tagging me I almost fall into the trench but thankfully Salty caught me and spun me the other direction and I landed on shaky.
"Oh sorry Shaky!" I said getting up.
"Whoa! Awesome moves Salty!" said Hutch in awe.
"Hah thanks! I really didn't know I could do that until now!" aahh the life of an Omega. I thought.
"Well it was awesome on my end too!" I said out of breath.
"Hey! Guys it's sunset! Moonlight Howl here we come!" said shaky.
"Oh yeeeaaaaa! Haha I almost forgot!" I said. "I'm going to go get ready. Meet back here?"
"Yea." they all agreed. So I headed back to my den to get ready, and guess who I found.
"Garth get out!"
"Come on babe don't be like that!"
"Get out now or I'm going to start screaming in 5 seconds." I threatened while I pretended to examine my paw.
"Lilly you know you still love me."
"5..."
"Come here baby." he tried to persuade me.
"...4...3..." I counted.
"Ok ok I've made mistakes! But I want you to be my mate. Our puppies would be so cute!"
"...2-That's all you care about?! Having puppies with me?! If that's all you see in a relationship then you need to wake up cause
that's not gonna last long!" I yelled at him. I also yelled as loud as i could, "MOOOOOOOOOOMMM!"
"No! No no no! Not her!-" he said as Eve ran in.
"Whats wrong?!" she said out of breath.
"Garth is back! And he said all he wants to do is have puppies with me!" I told her the whole conversation, and he tried to sneak
out and mom grabbed his throat and flung him down on the hard floor. I left because it was about to get ugly.
"Lilly? Why haven't you been coming with us-? Oh my! Look at you! You look TERRIBLE!" Candy gasped.
"Wow. Thanks Candy." I said sarcastically.
"We need to get you to the little lake NOW!" Sweets said. And they dragged me off-again. The next time they make fun of me I'm gonna bite their tails off. I thought. And the thought of Candy and Sweets running around tailless made me smile.
They did the exact same thing they did the last Moonlight Howl-my bangs pinned up with a blue flower. Of course with my fur white again I headed over to the meeting place and Hutch was the only one there.
"Hey Hutch." I said flatly.
"Wow! Lilly you look amazing!" he said studying me from nose to tail.
"Thanks." I said looking down.
"You look irritated. Whats-?"
"Candy and Sweets."
"Ah. Of course." he said looking at the stars.
"Yea." I looked up, too.
"Hey guys!" said a voice. I jumped and whoever is behind me caught me.
"Oh hi Salty." I said relieved it wasn't Garth.
"Whoa whats up? You seem jumpy. No pun intended." he said putting me down gently.
"Well yea! You scared the crap outta me!" I said. "You look good though." I added.
"Thanks. You too." now everyone was here.
"Awwww!" I said looking at everyone in the circle.
"What?" asked Shaky.
"Look at all my boys!" I said.
"We're not her boys-" said Salty to Humphrey.
"Yea we are-" interrupted Humphrey.
"Yea you're right.." said Salty. Then they turned and caught up to me. I was already walking to Howling Rock. We found a spot to hang out until someone came that they wanted to howl with. Me and Humphrey wanted to wait until everybody had someone to howl with so they wouldn't feel left out.
After everyone found a howling partner, Humphrey and I started howling. Of course when your howls don't match in harmony, you must find another howling partner, which also means, another mate if necessary. And you have to have the same song as your partner also. So it could get confusing when finding a partner.
When Humphrey and I started howling we sang our songs; completely different. Our harmony? Nada. We looked at each other with sorrow, got up hugged each other, turned around, and left. There were many boys looking for partners. There were mostly Alphas, but there were some Omegas. But all boys I passed stared at me until I passed. Do I look that good?! I thought. I didn't like every boy staring at me so I went to the side of the path by a bush(the 1 Salty tried to flirt w/ Candy and Sweets) to take my flower out. I sat facing opposite the path. But when I put my paw up to take it out, a paw stopped me. I put my paw down and looked to see who had stopped me.
"Hey." said a familiar voice.
"Hey Hutch!" I said.
"Don't take out your flower, you look too beautiful with it in." he says.
"Oh." I say looking down. I add, "You look really cute yourself tonight."
"Come howl with me." he says. I am shocked at first, but I just smile.
"That's ok." I say a little worried. I don't want to let Hutch down like I did Humphrey.
"Don't worry. You'll do great!" he encouraged.
"Okaaaayy but I don't want to let you down..."I say.
"Hey if our howls don't match, we can still go on as usual. Deal?"
"Deal." I say. So we head over to a clear spot. I guess he saw that I was uncomfortable being stared at so he growled and snarled at thee boys who did. The Moonlight Howl is the only acception of Omegas growling at Alphas. To protect their partners from getting taken and to protect their mates. We arrived at the clearing and I took a deep breath. I started howling then he joined in. Our song; same. Our harmony; brilliant. When we ended we looked at each other in shock. But we just smiled and rubbed noses.
