Alpha and Omega: The Accepted
Cole's POV
Have you ever tried looking for a single drop of water in a running stream? No? Well thats pretty much how I felt, as my eyes scanned the ever changing mass of wolves during this party. Army and I sat on top of one of the many surrounding hillsides, looking down at the group of wolves as they themselves attended the party. The ground steeped suddenly inward just a few feet from where Army and I were sitting and it provided the best place to look down and into the crowd. Not that it helped in the slightest.
My eyes scanned the ever changing sea of wolves as they conversed with each other. Army joined me in our scanning and looked not only for my son but also his own. We were both worried and scared for our children so our motivation was definitely there.
"Where are they, Cole?" Armstrong asked, his words hidden under a whine, "We've been looking for them all day and we haven't seen a sign of them"
I looked at him as we both shared the same worries. The only kids that we encountered was Sylus and Lou (and Lou's new boyfriend). While the news about Lou's new sexuality was entertaining, as was his boyfriend who flirted slightly with Lou's father and ogled Army slightly as he passed. Not that I informed him of this though.
"I'm sure we'll find them, we know that they're here somewhere" I replied, looking over the crowd once again.
"Yeah, thanks to Lou" Army replied, a devious smirk appearing on his muzzle afterwards, "So, Lou's gay now huh?"
I smirked back at him as we shared the same thought process yet again. We both were very eager to find out that Lou was dating another male. Secretly, I wished that Lou would be gay and develop a crush on Connor so I could see how my son reacts to another male giving him the eyes. I also thought that those two would make a cute couple. But the male that Lou was with, David I think his name was, seemed to be very close to Lou.
"I know right?" I questioned, looking back at the said wolf as he got questioned by his father as to how he met his boyfriend, "I didn't see that one coming"
"I don't think you're going to see what else is coming" Armstrong chuckled, looking ahead of me as I looked backwards.
I was about to question what he meant when all of a sudden I was tackled to the ground by softly by someone. It didn't take me long to figure out who it was, in fact, the feeling of his fur gave him away. Byron. I smiled as I looked up at the male above me, his beaming face showing how happy both of us felt. It was a surprise to see him here, but it was a good surprise nonetheless that put a smile on my face.
"Hey Sweety!" Byron said, greeting me as he looked down and pressed our noses together.
"Hey Honey" I replied, happy about the surprise that he was here.
Byron turned his head over to Armstrong and showed the black furred wolf the same smile that he had showed me. It brought me back to the times when Byron had the hots for Armstrong but those times were long over and the were the best of friends like how they were when they were younger. But that faded away apparently when he started to fall for me. Now it was just my little family, Byron, me and Conrad.
"Hey Army!" Byron greeted, using the nickname that was now used more than Armstrong's own moniker.
"Hey Byron" Armstrong chuckled, grinning at our actions.
Byron looked back at me then, his beautiful eyes drawing my attention fully. I loved looking at him, though I would never admit that to him. If I did, he would use that against me to get whatever he wanted from me.
"So...hows it going?" Byron asked, looking down at me.
"What are you doing here Honey? I asked, I thought you were going to stay!"
"Oh, I came looking for Conrad and the other kids. I would've thought that you guys would already be here, but I guess I was wrong. Where were you?" He asked.
Armstrong and I exchanged glances, remembering the trouble that we had with Cyrus' directions at first and all of the trouble that we had to go through to actually get back here. We were pissed to put it lightly. Cyrus and his naiviety made him come to the conclusion that we actually enjoyed the time. We couldn't convince him otherwise.
"Its a long story" I replied, then remembering his previous reply, "Have you found Conrad?"
He nodded, his tail wagging cutely behind him. I breathed a sigh of relief and could actually relax now that my mate found our son. He was so trustworthy and I could always rely on him. Byron then coughed slightly to grab my attention as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"He was with some wolf, Sammy I think his name was? I don't know. But he was a kiss ass and I'm not sure that he was a good wolf for Conrad to be hanging around"
"Sammy? Did he seem like a bad influence?"
"Like Cyrus?"
I nodded and he shook his head in response.
"Well then he can't be that bad. But I'd still like to see Conrad, do you know where he is?"
He once again nodded and I waited for him to get off of me, which actually took a while because he got busy kissing me. But once he got up, he informed Armstrong that he had seen Sirius with Raff. A wolf that we had gotten to know in the days of Sirius' Alpha school days when he used to bring the pup around. He also informed Army of the fact that Sirius was protecting Raff from Drake. Which effectively spured a reaction from the black furred wolf and caused him to run off in the direction that Byron had pointed out.
Sammy huh? I listened to Byron as he lead me to where he was tracking Conrad and the new wolf as the sun had already set. He was telling me of this kid in their short interaction with each other and how he first met the kid when he walked in on them having an argument. After listening to my mate intently, I came to the conclusion that Byron seemed determined to not like the kid.
Sammy's POV
It was already night when I woke up to the sounds of light breathing at my side. My eyes were heavy as I tried to will them to lift. Once I did, I was blessed with the sight of a sleeping Conrad. I smiled at the sight of it and kept my arms wrapped possesively around him. He was actually sleeping next to me. A dog of all things was sleeping next to me and a male one at that. And I didn't mind it in the slightest. As I looked over his body, I remembered our actions just a few hours ago and found myself flushed at the thought.
I took Conrad to bed and now we were sleeping together. Like a couple. I barely talked to him after I informed him of my past and how I lost my parents. But now here I was with my body pressed against his and my eyes scanning his body, wondering how he and I would interact with each other from now on.
If I were to tell David about this, he wouldn't let me live it down. If I told some of my other friends about this, they wouldn't let me go a day without the reminder that he was a dog and what dogs did to me. As I thought about it, my paw had unconciously went to my eye and started rubbing the faint scar that was still etched there. It stung a little bit at the thought. He was really cute and I enjoyed spending time with him, even when we were fighting. But he was a dog and I was a wolf. Two different species and of the same sex. It could cause a lot of problems for not just me, but for Conrad as well, that was the last thing I wanted to do.
"You seem to be in deep contemplation."
I looked down and blushed at the sight of Conrad's eyes open, his ears perked up and towards me. I smiled down at him and tightened my hold around his waist. He didn't respond noticeably. He simply nuzzled closer to me and shared the warmth in this rather cold night as it nipped at our fur and the skin underneath.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about what happened. How did you sleep?"
"Pretty well, and you?" He asked, although it didn't sound like the question was directed at me.
"Same. How are you feeling after-" I paused, not feeling really comfortable enough to finish the sentence so I trailed off.
"I'm kinda sore, but that was expected. Are you feeling better?" He asked, turning towards me. It didn't do him any good except for straightening out his ears, but the fact that he was making an effort to make it look like he cared, whether he really did or didn't.
"Yeah, thank you for that" I replied, smiling at him although I knew he couldn't see it, it seemed like he knew I was smiling from his content reaction.
He turned towards me and threw me a smile as well. I blushed at it and leaned in to kiss him. It was only a moment when I kissed his lips that he proceeded to pull away from me with a snap. I looked at him and tilted my head as he wiped his lips and put his ears down.
"What?" I asked, curious as to why he pulled away.
"Sammy, I think you misunderstood what happened...I wasn't looking for anything serious"
I stared at him. He didn't say anything beyond that and waited for me to respond. He was serious and I felt like a fool, was he just fooling with me the whole time? Humoring me and doing all of that stuff with me only out of pity? I growled slightly and my stare turned into a glare. He seemed to notice the change in my attitude as he slipped out from my grasp and stood up.
"So what was that just a few hours ago? A pity lay?" I demanded, growling louder as I stood up and started pacing back and forth.
"No, I was just trying to calm you down. I couldn't handle you crying like you were and when you kissed me-"
"Whoah, you kissed me!" I argued, looking at him.
"What? No! You kissed me and then I kissed back"
We stared at each other in fustration and then both grunted, mumbling to ourselves. I knew a fight was beginning to develope and I didn't want to fight with him. I loved him, even if he didn't have feelings for me. I had to control myself before things got out of hand and I ended up getting in yet another fight with him.
"Sammy, I'm not gay" He said, turning his head away from me and going back to his melancholy tone, "Last night was just curiosity and my need to try and comfort you"
I grunted again and paced some more, my paws making the only sound in the room for a few minutes before I gave my reply.
"You sure didn't seem to be curious last night" I replied, taking a shot at our lustful events from a few hours ago with a smirk.
He blushed and shifted his paws over each other. I got the reaction that I wanted, he was flustered and I liked that. He was cute when he looked flustered. I smiled at it slightly as my eyes started to wander over his body again, taking in his nervous stature that I hoped to make pop up later on. He was really really cute like this and I took a mental note of what he looked like when he was flustered. Then his face changed and he turned towards the entrance, moving his head around to sniff around.
"Oh crap..." He said, looking around.
"Damn right "Oh crap!"" I knew the voice by the first breath that sounded and my fur stood on end. Byron's voice sounded and it was one of the few voices that actually terrified me to my core. Last time we met, he mentioned that he if I harmed his son that I wouldn't be making pups any time soon. I wondered what is policy was when you bed his son.
I turned around and saw Byron as I expected, but what was unexpected was the wolf standing beside him. He was smaller and less muscular than Byron yet taller than Conrad, his fur all different shades of grey with a charcoal gray shade present for his head fur. He approached Conrad with seemingly no consideration for me who was in front of him. Judging from the way he began to scold the dog, I was guessing that he was Conrad's other parent.
I looked between the two and their interaction. Conrad had his ears down as well as his head while listening to the older wolf asking many rhetorical questions in his lecture. I kinda felt sorry for him. Byron's silence had me nervous to the point where I turned around to see what he was doing. To my terror, he was glaring at me and not blinking. The moment I made eye contact with him, his fangs glistened in the moonlight and sent shivers down my spine at the sight.
"Do you have any idea how grounded you are when we get home?!" The wolf asked, although I wasn't sure if this question was rhetorical as well, but Conrad kept his silence and kept his head down in shame.
I smiled a little bit at it. He had a family that loved him enough to ground him for doing something wrong. Byron and this male here raised Conrad from the time he was a pup if I remembered correctly and they seemed pretty close. I wondered if I would have been brought up in a similar fashion, had I been given the chance. Or if Conrad and I would make suitable parents.I shook my head the next moment, realizing that he and I would have to get mated for that. I wasn't going to be one of those crazy individuals that thought about getting married to someone after just a few days of liking them, or knowing them for a few days in my case.
Byron finally came in and proceeded to sit next to me as Conrad's other father finished his lecture and kept his eyes on me. I contemplated on running out of here and then going to find David to see if he could hide me from this silver furred terror. But he carefully sat slightly closer to the entrance than where I was, so if I were to attempt it, then he would notice my attempt and stop me in my tracks. He stayed like that until Conrad's father finished and glanced at me, then realizing that there was someone else who wasn't a member of his family in the den.
"And you're Sammy I presume?" The wolf asked, stepping away from Conrad and towards me.
I nodded, if I was ever to actually have a relationship with Conrad, like I wanted to. I would have to get along with his parents. Byron seemed determined to hate me, but Conrad's other father seemed reasonable but stern when it came down to it. I had to gain at least one of his parent's favor. He looked me over pensively and then smiled at whatever he saw.
"I'm Cole, pleased to meet you" He introduced, a cool smile appearing on his face.
"N-nice to meet you, Sir" I replied, keeping my head lower than his own as to show respect. However, Byron scoffed at my remark.
"Kiss ass" He remarked, I could practically feel his eyes rolling behind me until Cole shot a glance at his mate and he stopped talking.
"Byron, play nice" Cole half seriously ordered.
Byron growled slightly and then went to sit by his mate as Conrad stood where he was and accepted his fate. The silver wolf's eyes were on me the whole time, barely blinking. Cole seemed to be the exact opposite from his mate, he was smiling whereas Byron was frowning. His eyes were open and excepting while his mates were down in a scowl of dred. I liked Cole and I felt terrified of Byron.
"So Sammy, want to explain to me what that smell is in here?" He asked, raising an eyebrow and smirking at me.
"DAD!"
I was sure that Conrad was blushing as much as I was. They knew that their son and I had sex and they knew it had happened recently. That might explain why Byron looked like he wanted to kill me and why Cole looked intrigued about me. I felt ashamed that this was the first topic of discussion I was having with Conrad's parents.
"U-um...Sir, Conrad and I..." I couldn't bring myself to pick a word to describe our actions. If I just went out and said sex, Byron might kill me and if I said "made love" he would kill me. If I said mated, he would kill me. I came to the conclusion that this was probably might last night on this earth.
"We had sex, Dad" Conrad blurted out, making me flinch at the harshness of his words.
Byron scoffed and looked back at his son. Over his should, I could see that he was indeed blushing as I had presumed but not as bad as I had thought he would be. It wasn't that his face was totally engulfed in crimson as mine was. It was just a slight reddening of his cheeks. Had he been in this situation before with his parents?
"I knew it...can I kill him now, Honey?" Byron asked, looking towards his mate for permission.
Cole smirked and looked me over once more before shaking his head at his mate. Which Byron scoffed at and continued to glare at me while Cole turned to Conrad.
"He's your first right?"
What?
Conrad nodded pitifully, keeping his head down nervously as he began to shuffle his paws again. I took note that he was once again nervous and it was because of me, again. I smiled at it and Byron caught my sudden spark and enjoyment, although he didn't see happy that it was because of the affect I had on Conrad. Cole stared at his son a while longer before turning attention to me.
"And you?"
It took me a minute before figuring at that he questioning me if Conrad was my first. He definitely was but I hesitated nonetheless, my eyes going over to Byron as he seemed curious for my answer.
"Yes, Sir. He is" I replied, standing tall and looking at Cole in the eyes. He stared back at me, as if he was sizing me up. I gulped down the lump developing in my throat, I didn't want to offend him, but I wanted to let him know that I liked his son. Cole seemed to get the point of my sincere look and smiled at my response.
"Samuel, right? Byron told me that that was your real name?" Cole asked, his smile letting me breath easy.
"Y-yes Sir"
"Well Samuel, would you mind waiting outside for a few minutes? I'd like to talk to my son" Cole asked politely.
I nodded and made my way outside, thinking for a second that Byron was going to pounce on me while my back was turned. Thankfully, Cole was there to stop him if he were to try. Before I left the den however, I looked back at Conrad to see him still looking down and embarassed still. I loved how cute he looked in that moment, he looked scared and I wanted to hold him and tell him that everything was going to be alright. But I sucked it up and walked out, waiting for them to finish their conversation so I could be near Conrad again.
Marshal's POV
"Do I really have to kiss you?" I asked, looking up at the slightly bigger wolf as he had an amusing smirk.
"Yes! It would totally make it believeable!" He replied, smiling as he paced back and forth on the trail as he waited for Sirius and Raff to show up. I sat there, my eyes going back and forth as he paced and listening to his words.
Even if my mind was somewhere else.
I remembered that male wolf. He was attractive for a man. It took me a lot to admit that to myself, that I felt attracted to this wolf. I told myself that I wouldn't be going out with anymore males after David happened. I convinced myself that I was straight and set my eyes on females. But that one male turned it around. He was just so charming looking and while I sometimes checked guys out, none of them actually made me feel bashful by just looking at them.
He made me actually feel something, just by looking at him.
"Alright Marshal! Here they come!" Drake announced, his ears perking up as he seemed all too eager to try and elicit a reaction from Sirius by making him jealous.
I sighed and got up from sitting on the hard barren floor and looked at the route to see him again and yet again I blushed. He was absolutely charming and I felt giddy again. His grey and black fur that my eyes scanned combined with his leath body made me swoon. He was an Alpha, I could tell that much just from looking at him as he had a similar body compared to Sirius, just slightly more masculine.
"You know what to do, right?" Drake asked, his tail wagging now.
I nodded again and took a deep breath as they got closer and closer. But Sirius grew cautious once he saw Drake and pushed Raff behind him so he could protect Raff from his ex-boyfriend. I was only able to see his paws and some of his tail once Sirius did this and I felt ashamed at the fact that I longed to see him again. I felt like some lovestruck female that swooned at the hottest guy in the pack. I felt childish. But damn was it nice to look at him.
"Sirius! I didn't think I was going to see you again so soon!" Drake started, as if we hadn't been standing here for over an hour waiting for them to come along.
"And I was hoping I wouldn't see you again so soon" Sirius replied, stopping just in front of us and then looking at me, "Hey Marshal"
"Hey Sirius" I replied, converting to my usual jaded self with the melancholy tone and remembering what I was supposed to say. "Are you going to that howl thing tonight?"
Sirius reacted just as Drake said he would, in vivid detail. A tilt of the head, a furrow of the eyebrows and the twitch of his tail to show his curiosity. Drake really was in love with Sirius if he could point out the how he would react in such detail. I hoped to love someone that much.
"A howl? Like a couple howl?" He asked, still able to keep Raff out of my sights as I glanced back to see if he was going to sneek a peek and then I could sneek one of my own.
"Yeah, we were going to go tonight and wanted to see if maybe you and Raff wanted to come along?" Drake asked, getting closer to me.
""We?" As in you and Marshal here?" Sirius asked, his voice filled with disbelief.
I nodded, then looking down at my feet as Drake instructed. He got what Sirius was going to say word for word strangely. It was actually kinda scary how well he knew his ex-boyfriend.
"Y-you don't mind Sirius, do you? I-if you don't want me to, Drake and I could just somewhere else..." I said, a slight whimper welling up in my throat, reminiscent of just a while ago when Drake crushed my tail under his paws to elicit the same whimpering voice that I was making now.
"U-uh, no Marshal, I don't mind. Its just that, isn't that stuff for couples, as in dating couples?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at the two of us.
I cowered even lower as instructed and tucked my tail in. This whole conversation was deja vu. It was going on just how Drake instructed, even his paw that now wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him was rehearsed around three times.
"Thats kinda the point, Sirius" Drake replied, throwing him a wink that I couldn't see but knew was there.
Finally from behind him, Raff came peaking out and I felt Drake tighten his grip around my waist while my cheeks flushed and I looked up at the wolf. Against Drake's plan.
"You...and him?" Sirius asked, chuckling. "Drake, I already have seen this thing from Lou and David today. I don't need another version of it."
"Oh that stupid jealousy plan?" Drake asked, tilting his head slightly, "I'm not joking Sirius, I'm going with Marshal"
"And it won't bug you that I would be going with Raff?" Sirius asked, then looking at the other wolf as he came out from behind Sirius fully and took his seat next to his boyfriend.
"Nope, not in the slightest. Hutch told me to look elsewhere, Marshal is elsewhere" He replied, kissing my cheek and causing my blush to grow. I hadn't been kissed on the cheek since I was dating David and he was in the whole "babying" phase of the relationship.
Sirius had a straight face on as Raff looked up at him, likely trying to wait for his boyfriend's reaction. It was more like a contest to see who could outwit who between Sirius and Drake. My money was on Drake. He seemed to know exactly who was how Sirius was going to react and what he was thinking. He was behind enemy lines and beating Sirius from there.
"I still love you, you know that," Drake said, his face going down to a frown, "But you seem determined to not date me after what you saw. I'm sorry that I kissed that girl, that I ever made you think I was cheating on you. If you won't date me ever again and I keep chasing you, then I'm just going to end up alone. It pains me to date someone else, but I have to try to get over you Sirius...I'm sorry and I hope I'll see you and Raff tonight..."
With that, Drake lead me away from them and towards the group where we would then dissapear into the crowd and meat back again in the middle. Blending in with the crowd and able to conviene in private to discuss the next plane of action. But before that, I looked back at Sirius with an apologetic look, although I was really just sneaking glances at Raff. Then I looked back forward and continued walking. Feeling bad that I was possibly hurting Sirius by doing this. But Drake said that this plan of his would work and so far it seemed to be.
However, how this would get me some alone time with Raff, I will never know.
