2 Days Later
Tristan woke up in the back of the pickup truck and looked around, "Where am I?"
He heard the faint sound of talking and soon found the truck come to a complete stop.
The talking stopped as he saw he was in a new environment.
The cage opened, and he didn't hesitate, running out as fast as he could without looking back.
Once he figured he was a safe distance away, Tristan stopped and looked out at a clearing and took a dee breath.
"Ok, I just need to find out where I am." He thought to himself as he tried to pick up any scents for other wolves.
Nothing caught his nose and he kept searching around until he finally caught a scent and ran for it.
"Another wolf! I can get some answers!" He said to himself as he kept running only to find the trail ended.
"Huh…but I could smell them right here. Unless they smelled me and…uh oh." Tristan backed away slowly and ran back into the clearing but heard something after him.
He looked behind to see a wolf chasing him and catching up fast.
Tristan figured he couldn't keep running as the wolf started was closer to him.
He turned to face his opponent and got defensive, "Bring it!"
The wolf leapt at him and he leapt back as they collided trying to bite and go for each other's necks.
They landed, and Tristan backed a bit but stumbled giving the other wolf a clear opening.
The wolf knocked Tristan to the ground and got on top of him before he could roll onto his stomach again.
Tristan tried to fight back but the wolf wouldn't let him go causing him to panic, "W-wait! Please don't hurt me! I'm not a threat I swear!"
The wolf growled and barked, "Shut the fuck up!"
Tristan cowered but did what he was told.
"Who are you and why did you try to find me?" The wolf asked.
"My name is Tristan and I just wanted to ask some questions." He said hastily.
"I'm listening…" The wolf said a little less irritated.
"Where am I and who are you?" Tristan said breaking eye contact to look around.
The wolf got off Tristan and sat down waiting for him to get up, "You are in Yellowstone National Park. My name is Victoria."
Tristan got up and looked at Victoria, "So that means you're a girl?!" He asked blushing.
Victoria growled and glared at him, "Yeah, but don't get any funny ideas or I will tear you open slowly so you can watch!"
Tristan went wide eyed listening to her, she reminds me too much of Eve.
Tristan looked around and walked north making Victoria question him, "Where are you going?"
He looked at her, "Uh…north. I'm heading back to Jasper Park. I was brought here by hunters."
Victoria blushed, "Oh uh…that would explain…"
Tristan tilted his head, "Explain what?"
Victoria shook her head, "Nothing! So…why were you in Jasper Park?"
Tristan sighed, "That's where my pack is…all my friends. I was such a jerk before I was taken."
He start walking but notice Victoria following him, "Do…you think I can tag along?"
Tristan thought about this, "I don't see why they wouldn't take another alpha. I'm a beta and they let me stay. Plus, you are good at fighting which probably means you're perfect at hunting."
Victoria blushed and smiled walking next to Tristan, "Yeah a great alpha…"
Tristan smiled and sniffed the air catching the scent of caribou.
Victoria heard his stomach growl and looked at him, "Are you hungry?"
Tristan shook his head, "No, not really." He lied trying not to think about it but groaned once he realized how long it must have taken him to get to Yellowstone.
"You are a bad liar, Tristan. Let's hunt." Victoria said to him getting low and behind trees.
Tristan followed her and did the same but inched slowly.
Victoria watched him and followed his movements.
All of a sudden, Victoria saw Tristan dart after the caribou making it run.
She didn't expect Tristan to be this fast on an empty stomach see as though he was right next to his prey.
Tristan leapt at a tree and pushed off as hard as he could into the caribou causing them both to hit the ground.
Victoria ran to aid Tristan and took the caribou by the neck and didn't let go until it stopped squirming.
She looked at Tristan with blood on her jaws causing him to stare into her eyes.
She's cute…really cute. Oh god don't act weird.
They both ate until they were full.
Tristan looked at Victoria and put his paw to his face, "You got something right here."
Victoria wiped her face but didn't get it so she looked at Tristan, "I will only allow this once…can you get it for me?"
Victoria blushed as Tristan licked her and got it for her.
Tristan blushed and turned away, "We should get going."
Victoria nodded and they started walking north.
It was starting to get late and Tristan felt a drop hit his face, "Oh come on."
Rain had started to drop and the 2 found a den to sleep in for the night.
Tristan let Victoria sleep in while he sat outside the den and laid down.
She looked at him and rolled her eyes, "Hey! Get in here."
He looked at her and went in, "Sorry, when I think sometimes…I sit in the rain."
Victoria laid down and looked at Tristan, "Sorry about what happened earlier. I've just been on edge."
Tristan nodded and laid next to Victoria, "I know that feeling. It's like the world hates you and just wants to hurt you as much as possible."
Victoria nodded and smiled, "Glad to know someone knows how I feel."
Tristan smiled back and started to drift to sleep, "Good night Victoria."
She smiled and huddled a bit closer to Tristan, "Good night Tristan."
Both wolves fell asleep sharing body warmth.
Next Morning
Tristan slowly opened his eyes to see Victoria gone.
"Vict-tor-ia?" He said half awake.
Once he was fully awake, Tristan looked around the den but found no trace of Victoria.
"Was she even real? I cant even find her scent." He said looking around.
With his head hanging low, Tristan left the den and slowly headed north.
"Hey! Are you seriously going to leave me behind!?" Called a voice from behind.
Tristan turned around to see Victoria walking toward him with a few squirrels in her mouth.
He smiled big and hugged her, "I knew you didn't leave!"
Victoria looked at him, "I went out hunting to get some food for the road. Obviously we have a long ways ahead of us."
Tristan smirked, "You're half right."
Victoria raised and eyebrow, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Tristan walked and motioned her to follow, "Well, one of my friends was in the same mess I'm in…but there was a way of transportation that cut the travel time shorter."
Victoria listened closely. "Well…what was it?"
Tristan pointed to a the ground, "They found a train. I'm looking for anything that looks like what he described the tracks to look like."
Victoria helped Tristan search until they found them.
"Ok this is it…now we wait for the train." He said to her.
They both sat and waited until Victoria heard the sound of something hitting the tracks, "Here it comes!"
Tristan and Victoria backed away from the train and waited for and open car.
"NOW!" Tristan yelled as he and Victoria jumped into thee train car and waited.
Victoria laughed, "That was cool! How come I never did that before?"
Tristan smirked and looked out the train car.
Thank the stars I met you Humphrey…otherwise I wouldn't be on my way back.
Victoria watched Tristan look out the car but studied his figure.
Tristan sniffed the air, "We will also have to jump off the train to catch another, ok?"
Victoria looked away from him, "Ok."
Tristan sat next to her and smiled, "So…uh, I guess while we wait, why don't you tell me what happened to you?"
Victoria sighed, "My pack banished me and told me if they caught me on their borders again…they would kill me."
Tristan looked down, "What did you do?"
Victoria looked away from him, "I was born…"
Tristan looked at her and raised an eyebrow, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Victoria held back tears, "I'm not really an alpha…I'm a beta. Betas are forbidden in my pack. My parents birthed me and banished me when the pack found out."
Tristan was surprised but sad at the same time, "I'm also a beta."
Victoria looked at him with a confused look on her face, "You don't look like a beta. You look like an alpha."
Tristan shook his head, "If I was an alpha, I wouldn't have problems finding a mate…hell I wouldn't even be in situation."
Victoria was now confused, "What do you mean?"
Tristan shook his head, "Whenever I'm around girls, I act weird and get all twitchy."
Victoria laughed, "That's so adorable."
Tristan blushed and Victoria pointed out his paw was tapping quickly.
He cleared his throat and continued, "I ran away from the valley where my pack lives and acted like a big jerk to my friends."
Tristan started to hear the yells from him and his friends.
I'm done talking! I don't want to talk to anyone anymore!
Look, Winston and my Dad want you to head back to the valley!
Go to hell, Garth! I'm not going back, and you can't make me!
Stop following me! God damnit!
Go after him. Why are you standing here?
KATE! GARTH!
Tristan wake up!
Tristan shook his head and looked at Victoria, "After I went away to calm down, I was taken by hunters."
Victoria looked at him, "We were to be together."
Tristan looked at her, "Huh?"
Victoria blushed, "We were meant to repopulate Yellowstone."
Tristan blushed brighter than ever and covered his face, "Oh my god."
Victoria looked at him and smirked, "We didn't though so don't worry."
She playfully bumped him and laid down, "Care to join me?"
Tristan looked at her and laid down, "No funny ideas." He said mockingly.
Victoria laughed and started to close her eye prompting Tristan to do the same.
However, when he did, he felt something.
Victoria had kissed his cheek and went to sleep making Tristan smile.
1 Hour Later
Tristan was in the middle of having a good dream causing him to wake up Victoria with his movements.
She got up and went to smack him only to see he was still sleep but on his back.
She watched his leg kick multiple times and his tongue hang out his mouth, "Geez…someone's enjoying themselves a little too much.
She kissed his cheek again and sat at the train car opening to watch the scenery go by.
Victoria sighed and looked back at Tristan, He is so caring and adorable. He makes me laugh, smile, cheers me up, and he is a beta like me. I think I might be falling in love with him…but does he love me back?
Tristan yawned and started to wake up causing Victoria to turn away to keep him from thinking that she was watching him.
"Afternoon Victoria." He said stretching his body and hearing his joints pop.
"Afternoon Tristan." She replied, smiling back at him.
Tristan sat next to her and watched the scenery.
Victoria placed and arm over his shoulder and smiled at him, "So, what were you dreaming of?"
Tristan blushed bright, "H-huh?"
Victoria smirked, "Well, while you were sleeping, your leg kept kicking and you are sort of moaning in your sleep. I want to know what you were dreaming of."
Tristan got nervous, "Uh, my friends and I were log riding and we crashed so I was moaning in pain."
Victoria nodded but still smiled, "Tristan, I have to ask you something."
Tristan looked at her, "Yeah? What's wrong?"
Victoria sighed and looked into his eyes, "Do you love me?"
