Alright, I, wolfwarriorkronos, present chapter 3 of my first A&O story. Sorry for the long update, but I've got a lot of stories on my plate that needs t o be taken care of. I hope you all enjoy. Disclaimer: I don't own A&O.

Chapter 3

As all of the wolves arrived for dinner, Tarble arrived there as well with just about all off the single female wolves behind him. How he was able to do so was beyond me, and I'm the author!

All the alphas assembled around the water buffalo and began to chow down. Akino noticed that Seff was nearby but he wasn't eating.

"Hey Bardock, are you gonna eat?" Akino asked, taking another bite out of the buffalo.

"I'll eat last." Seff replied in his britain accent. Akino just shrugged and continued eating.

Seff waited until the omegas finished to take his fill. Being that the buffalo was almost three times the size of a caribou, there was lots of meat left for Seff. Once he finished, the waterbuffalo was completely cleaned of anyhthing edible. With the huge canid full, he headed to the den given to him by Eve and Winston, which was near Akino and Tarble's dens.

Over the next few weeks, the three had adjusted to life in Jasper Park. Akino was now the second in command of the alpha hunting group, coming second to Kate since she's the daughter o fthe alpha male and female, which are Winston and Eve. Garth was put in 3rd command much to his disdain.

Seff had grown closer to Crystal over this time as she's the only one that calls him by his real name, Seff. If you remember, Bardock was given to him after his father died, and he keeps that name to remember him, same thing with Tarble. He also warmed up to Winston. In his spare time, he helps Winston with alpha business, moving things around, and other things.

Tarble has gained a reputation as the united pack's ladiesman. Often enough, some ladies would fight over who would get to howl with him or who's den he slept in. Some of the guys in the pack turned green with envy, but Tarble, in his free time, helps them out. He takes private, unoffical classes with some of the guys and teach them how to be a ladiesman, in their own way, and the way of the ladies. He teaches them how they think, what type they are, and the best thing for that guy to do with that particular lady friend. He haven't found that certain someone for himself, though.

Today, Akino was about to meet Kate on another hunt. On his way, he ran into Tarble's class. "Hey Tarble, what's goin on?" Akino greeted, walking up to the smaller wolf.

"Just teaching the class. It's my day off of alpha duties. How about you? On another hunt?" Tarble asked as he, Akino, and the rest of the group was walking. "Yeah, supposed to bring in 3 this time, I'll see you later." Akino said as he continued on his way to the rendezvous with Kate and the rest of the hunting party. Once he made it, he saw Kate along with the other alphas waiting for him.

"Hey Kate, am I late?" Akino joked as he walked up to the group.

"Nope, you're right on time. Alphas, let's go." Kate ordered as the united alphas made their way to the herd of caribou down at the grass fields. Once they got there, Kate ordered the others to duck down in the grass and sneak up quietly.

Kate as now looking over the herd, searching for a weakness. She spotted 3 caribou that all had bad limps whenever they walked. 'Perfect.' Kate thought as she looked back to the group.

"Alright, there's three caribou on the end that have bad limps, see them?" Kate asked as the alphas slowly poked their heads out of the grass and saw the three. They then ducked back down and nodded. "Good, I want Jasmine, the twins, and Candu to cut them off from the rest of the herd while Akino, Garth and I go in for the kill, understand?" Kate said as they nodded and they crept into position. "On three... one... two... three!" Kate shouted as all the alphas ran out towards the herd, startling them. The herd started to run, the hunters following.

The alphas were easily able to seperate the three limping caribou from the rest of the herd, and were swiftly aprehended by the 3 leading alphas.

"Well done, ladies and gentlemen, now let's get these back to the park." Akino said as he, Kate, and the rest of the hunting party went back to the park. Once they got back, they carried the carcasses to Winston and Eve's den where everyone was waiting.

They dropped off the three caribou off on front of Winston and Eve. Winston smiled and nodded at a job well done. Eve did as well.

"Great work alphas, great work indeed." Winston complimented to the group, making them smile. Eve smiled as well, and it wasn't a wicked or evil smile as one would normally imagine her in, it was a genuine, warm smile. What they didn't know was that it was pointed to Akino, but nobody noticed.

"Alright everyone, lunch is served!" Winston said as everyone started digging in.

Soon enough, the caribou was scrapped clean of anything that can feed a wolf. With lunch finished, Akino headed outside, but before he made it out of the cave, he felt a paw grab his tail. He whipped around to see Eve.

"Oh, hello Eve, what do you need?" Akino asked, sitting, back straight, head forward.

"Nothing, I just want to go on a walk around the territory." Eve explained, making Akino nervous. 'Why does she want to go on a walk with me? Why not her own husband?' Akino pondered, but in the end, accepted.

"Ready when you are." Akino replied as the two headed out of the cave. 'After this, I gotta talk to Winston.' Akino thought and then they were off.

Alright, review and tell me what you think. I hope you all enjoyed and as always, have a nice day.
