Ok so before I start this, let me just say…I hit a severe writer's block right after I posted the chapter on Code Lyoko: Ghost File (WHICH YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK IT OUT BTW)…Please forgive me. I will try to make this chapter longer than usual as a way of proving I'm sorry.

Tristan looked at Victoria and smiled as she came forward, "Everyone, meet Victoria."

All the wolves looked over her physique then back to Tristan who was smiling proudly.

"Who is she?" One wolf asked.

Tristan smiled a bit and opened his mouth to talk but Victoria answered before he could respond, "I'm Tristan's mate. So if you omegas could stop looking at me like a piece of eye candy, before I rip out your eyes and shove them down your throat, that would be greatly appreciated."

Winston's eyes grew large as he looked at Tristan, "Quite an… interesting female to say the least."

Tristan looked back at Winston, "I know right! She is so amazing!"

Soon, Tony, Lilly, and Garth had shown up to see what the commotion was about when they saw Tristan.

Garth tackled Tristan to the ground and pinned him, "You big, dumb, fool! Thank god you're still alive!"

Tristan laughed and pushed Garth off of him, "What… did you miss me?"

Lilly giggled, "Do you know how many sleepless nights he had to go through? We couldn't even love each other because he was so worried."

Tristan had remembered that Garth and Kate were the ones who watched him get kidnapped that night, "Sorry guys… I truly am. I promise I will never over react like that again."

Garth looked behind Tristan and saw Victoria, "Who is she?"

Tristan smirked, "Oh that's Victoria. She… uh… she's my mate."

Garth's eyes grew wide and he patted Tristan on the back hard enough to make him cough for air, "Well good job! I knew you could pull someone with your charm."

Tristan laughed, "What charm?"

Garth looked at him for a bit then shook his head, "Never mind. Anyway, how did you guys meet?"

Tristan looked away, "Well when I was taken all the way to Yellowstone National Park, she had hunted me down thinking I was a threat. Come to find out, I was put there for her."

Garth tilted his head, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Tristan sighed, "Her and I were to repopulate the area…"

Garth held in a snicker, "Well did you?"

Tristan shook his head quickly and blushed, "N-no! Not at all!"

Garth smirked, "But you guys did mate."

Tristan's blush went even darker, "H-how did you know!"

Garth smirked and turned away, "I have my ways."

Lilly rolled her eyes, "You told us she was your mate, Tristan. One can only assume you guys, 'did the dirty'."

Tristan looked down, "Yeah, I guess I did didn't I?"

They both nodded and took a step back seeing what was about to happen.

Tristan tilted his head and watched the 2 mates back away, "what are you guys-"

Before he could even react, Tristan was soon dog piled on by his old friends, "WOLF PILE!"

Tristan gasped for air as he had 4 other wolves laying on top of his back, "Guys… cant breath here!"

Mooch got off and pulled Humphrey and Salty off while Shakey got off himself.

"Guys, it's so good to see you again!" Tristan laughed as he caught his breath.

"We missed you a lot!" Humphrey said hugging Tristan who smiled and returned the hug.

Mooch walked over and bear hugged Tristan who tried to hold the air in his lungs, "Guys, I'm sore!"

Mooch quickly put him down and Salty walked over, "Dude! We heard you went missing and were tempted to go after you, but Winston told us not to leave because he didn't want anyone else going missing. So, we were left sitting here hoping that you could make it on your own."

Tristan looked down, "I'm sorry I scared everyone like that, I didn't mean to."

Humphrey walked over to Tristan and put a paw on his shoulder, "We know you didn't mean harm by it, bud. Consider yourself forgiven."

Salty whistled at Vitoria as she went to check on Tristan, "I will be waiting for you at our den, ok?"

Tristan nodded, and Victoria walked away with her tail rubbing against Tristan's chin.

"Whoa, who is she?" Salty asked watching her like the rest of the group.

"Hey eyes off, I saw her first!" Shakey said as he started to growl at Salty.

Mooch had to get between the 2 and separate them before Tristan could give them the news.

"Guys… that's my mate," Tristan said looking away from them, "and she's a beta like me."

Salty looked at Tristan, "No way… you lucky dog."

Shakey glared at Tristan, "How do we know you're telling the truth?"

"Smell me." Tristan becoming bold.

Shakey narrowed his eyes, "I will take your word for it."

They all looked with their eyes wide as Victoria was still walking away with her hind swaying side to side.

"What are you looking at Humphrey?" Kate said walking to the group looking at her mate.

"Huh, oh nothing!" Humphrey said immediately looking at her.

The rest of the gang backed away and watched as Kate glared at Humphrey.

Tristan did not want to be around to see what awaited his friend so he snuck away and decided to head to his den.

Once Tristan got inside his den, he saw Victoria smirking at him, "Welcome home darling."

Tristan's heart started to beat quickly, "Hey there… uh… babe?"

Victoria shook her head and giggled, "You are not good at flirting."

Tristan blushed more, "We you are my first mate…"

Victoria gasped in surprise, "Seriously, is that really true?"

Tristan nodded then looked down, "Yeah, I was always a social outcast. That's why I always hung out with the omegas. Humphrey didn't see me as weird or awkward as most wolves here do. He saw me as someone he could hang out with, soon after I ended up joining him and his crew."

Victoria looked away, "How could no one find you attractive like I did?"

Tristan blushed, "I, uh, act weird when I'm around cute girls…"

Victoria glared at him, "I don't remember you acting weird around me!"

Tristan took a step back, "That's because I was too worried about you maybe wanting to kill me!"

Victoria looked away, "Ok, I will let you have that one."

Tristan took a sigh of relief, "Thanks Vicky."

Victoria looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "What did you just call me?"

Tristan sat down and watched the entrance of his den, "Vicky… short for Victoria. You like it?"

"I love it, just like you." Victoria said flirtatiously.

She started to fall asleep and Tristan walked out of his den to get some fresh air.

He walked into the field just out of the Valley and laid in the grass, "Feels good to be home. Maybe getting taken was the eye opener I needed."

The wind blew softly on his fur and the grass around him almost making him drowsy.

Before he knew it, Tristan fell asleep.

There wasn't much time that had past when he awoke, however, Tristan started to hear some noise coming from the woods behind him.

Quickly, he got on his chest and growled catching the scents of some foxes and wolves that he didn't recognize.

Without thinking, he charged into the woods and pounced on the closest scent, only to find out it was a little fox pup.

"Aww that's so adorable." He said as he slowly got off the pup for it to scurry away.

"I wonder where its parents are." Tristan pondered before getting tackled by the mother of the pup.

"Leave my child alone!" She yelled at him before biting his paw.

Tristan yelped in pain before kicking the angry fox off with his hind legs.

He struggled to get his composure again but was able to get up.

The fox charged at him again but he was ready this time as he did the same only to hit her in a literal head on collision.

Both combatants were thrown back and Tristan rubbed his head, "OW!"

The fox mother looked at him and started to slowly advance before calling into the woods, "Amy, Janet, give me a paw here!"

Tristan watched as 2 wolves emerged from the woods and were slowly advancing.

"This is where I die…I never thought it would come to this." he said quietly as he was slowly retreating.

The wolves had started growling as Tristan was running out of space.

"Please make it painless…" He said as closed his eyes and let his body fall to the ground.

Everyone looked at each other then to the fox mother, "You sure he is a threat? We don't have to kill him."

There was silence then Tristan felt a paw tap his face, "Hey, we aren't your enemies. Get up."

Tristan opened his eyes and looked at the wolf.

"I'm Janet, sorry about the attack. Julia is a little overprotective when it comes to her children

He noticed that her fur was gray with some whiteness to it.

The wolf helped him up and checked his paw only for him to yelp again, "That hurts!"

"Sorry!" Janet said to Tristan before looking at Amy and Julia, "You really did a number on him."

Amy was a light black, blue-eyed wolf with a sort of long tail, whereas Julia was a red furred and brown eyed fox now nursing 2 pups.

Tristan sighed and got up, "What are you all doing here?"

Amy stepped toward him, "We were just passing through. We were looking to settle with a new pack.

Tristan smirked, "Well since you didn't kill me, you can always join my pack. Even the fox."

Julia smiled, "Sorry about attacking you by the way."

Tristan nodded to her, "It's fine, don't worry about it."

Amy allowed Tristan to prop himself against her while they walked back into the valley.

Once they got back, some of the alphas went to help Tristan only to see he was wounded.

"Tristan! What happened!?" Victoria said to him.

Tristan looked at the group of females then to Victoria, "I was attacked by a bear…luckily these gals showed up out of nowhere and helped me fend the bastard off."

Everyone looked at each other then to the new wolves and fox with her pups.

Tristan winked at Janet who blushed a bit then caught onto what he was doing, "Y-yeah, we thought he was a goner so we tried to help him out as much as we could."

Amy helped Tristan to Victoria so he could lean on her.

Salty and Mooch showed up with no sign of Humphrey with them.

Quickly, they rushed over to Tristan, "What happened?"

Tristan winked at them, "I'm fine guys. Trust me."

Salty looked to Tristan and sighed before locking eyes with Janet.

Both of them blushed and looked away.

Janet walked over to Amy and said something to her before they both had walked away.

Kate had soon showed up with Winston and Tony who seemed very upset.

"We came as soon as we could!" Winston was panting.

"Where is Tristan?" Tony was working his way through the crowd.

Tristan looked at Tony and did his best to smirk despite him being in a lot of pain.

"Are you ok?" Tony asked him.

Tristan nodded then looked at Janet and her friends, "They jumped in and saved me from a bear attack."

Tony looked at Janet and Amy but Tristan wasn't done, "Do you think they can join our pack?"

Tony started to think it over but Winston got in on the conversation, "What were they doing so close to our territory?"

Tristan's eyes went wide and he looked at them.

"We were just passing through…we don't mean any harm." Amy said while Julia brought her pups closer to her.

"Tristan said you might let us join your pack." Janet said.

Tristan nodded and looked at both alphas.

Winston brought Tony aside and started whispering to him.

Everyone watched them talk for what seemed like minutes.

Finally, they both came back and Tony looked at Tristan, "You're sure they are trustworthy?"

Tristan nodded, "They saved my life when they could have stayed out of it. I owe them this much at the very least."

Tony looked at Winston who sighed, "Very well, they can stay. On one condition…the fox stays on pack grounds at all times."

They looked at Julia who quickly agreed with no sign of protest.

With that, Victoria walked Tristan off but not before he could see the look on Salty's face.
