Chap 2 training
I woke up to the sound of Winston yelling at everyone to get up. I stood up and ran for the entrance as did everyone else in the den. We all ran outside and were all greeted by the snow. We stood in front of the entrance where we saw the girls doing the same thing. "Alright I hope you had a good rest because we are gonna be working from dawn to dusk everyday." Winston said. We all replied saying yes sir. Now today we are going to work on speed. Everyone line up in rows of three." We did as told and made three lines of three. "Now you are going to learn how to work as a unit. You will ether succeed together or you will fail together. Now I want you to run 5 miles in under 20 minutes. MOVE OUT." We all ran to wherever the marker was for 2.5 mi. I then noticed Kate next to me. "Hey… how…did…you…sleep." I said in between breathes. "Good…you?" She said. "Good."
"So…why…did…you…come…really…come?" She said as my whole body twiched. I only thought of one thing to say. "I'll…tell…you…when…were…done." I said. I thought what to say to Kate the whole time. We both finished 12 minutes later the whole time I spent thinking of what to tell Kate. "So go on." she said. "I-I-I came because of you." I finally said with my ears flat on my head. "Really you came knowing the pain and hard ship of alpha school for me." She said puzzled a bit. "Yes." She looked both ways, then did something I didn't expect. She turned back to me and we locked lips. She pulled back and said, "thank you." I watched her walk next to her father who didn't see a thing. At that moment my friends came through the trees. I could hear Winston counting the wolves coming back. "Alright now that we're all here we are going to have a race to see who is fastest. Run to the river 2 miles east and the come back. LINE UP."
We lined up in one straight line facing east. "Go go go." We ran for the river at first it was Kate, Duncan and Jay in that order for the lead. Then I got an adrenaline rush and He zoomed past everyone else. I ran and ran, until he found the river. I than turned around and saw every one else coming to the river so he darted back for the starting point. For the rest of the race I was in the lead until I won the race Kate took second place and Duncan took third. Winston waited for everyone else to come back. "Alright you all get a 20 minutes of rest." Everyone was thankful for that so I sat down and noticed Kate sat right next to me. Then Jay, Duncan and Cody walked up.
"Hey lover boy with his girl." Duncan said. "What are you talking about?" Kate asked. "Oh come on, I saw what you two did right before the race." Jay said. "You did, don't tell daddy please." Kate said worriedly. "Don't worry my lips are sealed." Jay said. "Humphrey, Kate come here." Winston said. I only had one thought.'oh no, no no no no, he knows about me and Kate.' I walked over to him expecting the worse, I got there and basically knew my life was over. "Humphrey, Kate." My life started to flash before my life. "I know I said I would wait to name the den leader but recently there have been dangerous animal sightings so I need to choose leaders now. Humphrey and Kate I promote you two, den leaders." He said. I couldn't believe it. "Yes sir." Is all I could think to say and I walked back to my friends.
"So what was that about?" Duncan asked. "I am our den leader." I answered. "So we have to listen to you." Cody asked. "I guess so." I said with a kinda cocky voice. "ATTENTION, now we all know our den leaders now. But we still have more training today." Winston said as we all groaned. "Now here are the rules for the next everybody stand behind your leader and we will get started." They all lined up behind me and Kate and the Winston began to speak. "Alright now that everyone is lined up you are going to march along the borders of the field around the dens we are going to do this 10 times. It may not seem like much but each border of this square field is one mile, so it's 40 miles, this will help simulate a patrol." We marched for hours, it got dark out before we finished and all went to our dens. "Psst hey Humphrey." Kate said. "Yeah." "Can I sleep with you tonight?" I was stunned by her question but told her yes. We both slept wonderfully that night but she left early so Winston wouldn't know. It was the best sleep I ever had.
One month later
I've had a great month, Me, Duncan, Cody, and Jay all became friends. Jay and I were probably the of best friends, they kinda reminded me of my old friends. Cody was a lot like salty, Duncan was reverse mooch, and Jay was almost exactly like shaky. Also once every week Kate would sleep with me in my den and Jay wouldn't mind if she did. And since the beginning of alpha school I had been gaining muscle and learned basic hunting. It had been a pretty good month.
We all lined up for our daily morning role call. I got to my spot which was across from Kate who winked at me when I sat down. I then winked back and then Winston started talking. "Alright everyone today we will all going to learn some team building, but this will not just take today but the rest of school to. Follow me." He took us about ten feet from the dens and drew a line in the dirt. "Alright I want two boys on each side of this line." He said as me and Jay went to the side left of Winston. "Good now I girls pick a side." He said as Kate and one other female wolf came to our side. "Good now this are your new den/pack mates. For the rest of alpha school you will come every other day but you both will come on different days. Your pack will come tomorrow." He said pointing to Duncan and Cody's group. "Your pack, come the next Day. Understood." We all replied with a yes sir. "Okay today's objective for everyone is to find a den area, build a den, assign pack leader and get some food. This line is your boundary do not cross it. Now move out."
My group ran out before another word could be spoken. I then thought of an idea for passing the time. "Who are you?" I asked the wolf I didn't know. "My names Mary, Who are you?" She asked. Mary was all black and looked like a more muscular Lilly. "This is wolf I told you about." Kate said. "Oh what about you." She said pointing to Jay. "That's his roommate." Kate said. "I take it you know each other." I said. "Yes." They both said in unison. "So I heard your an omega." Mary asked. "Not anymore." I said. We walked for about five more minutes till we found a good place to build our den. It was a large hill with what looked like a ramp along the side up to a small clearing. That had enough room to build our den.
We dug and dug and dug. Until our den was finished. It took us all day to finish so we were all hungry and I volunteered to get us some food. I came back with 4 rabbits and they were waiting for me with eager faces. They ate quick and Jay and Mary hit it off with each other, they reminded me of Kate and I. They went to bed in their own room they built while I was hunting and me and Kate built one room so we could sleep together and that nights sleep was the best I ever Had.
