*Midnight's point of view*
As I sat in the back of my silent den I began to ponder about the arrival of these new wolves. Six of them just appearing in the midst of my slumber, a seemingly similar event that had played out a few months earlier.
'Why must the humans always interfere,' I asked myself. In my opinion, if the wolves died out down here let them, it was nature's way. Besides, the males were omegas and the females were alphas. How clueless these humans were to think they would actually mate with each other.
I must admit though, that one, oh what's his name, Shakey? Yes that's it, he seems very determined to change the females' perspective. Unlikely that he will considering he has almost no social skills what-so-ever, but I wasn't one to judge. I was a lone wolf for a reason.
It was interesting to watch the group. I followed them around quite occasionally to check in on their progress, well that and I wanted them out of my territory. A good source of entertainment I must say, that Shakey is always trying to smooth talk Amy, I do believe was her name. And maybe his 'techniques' would have worked, if she was an omega.
There were occasions where I actually felt sorry for the poor guy. He really seemed to like her, but seeing as the two were of different ranks in the hierarchy of the wolf order, they were incompatible. An alpha and an omega as mates? I could understand them falling in love but as mates, that was something that just seemed out of place.
Later in the morning I had finally had enough sneaking around. It was high time I introduced myself to the group. I had lived around this place for two years, and I knew it better than anyone else around. If anyone could help them get out, it was me. It was difficult to set up a proper introduction as they were constantly moving, but once the morning rose and they were enjoying breakfast, it looked like I would have to break formality.
I stayed hidden in the bushes a few yards from them and watched as the females nearly picked a caribou clean before allowing the males a taste. 'Savages.' I laughed to myself.
"Alphas first, omegas second,' barked the one named Lori. I huffed in disgust. It was never that rude in my old pack, at least learn to share. Especially if they wanted Mooch to go anywhere. Poor Shakey hardly had any scraps left when the females were done, and he didn't even pick at those. Looks like I would have to help out my little friends in need.
So I went hunting. I had to make it quick before they moved to far, and I was not dragging a caribou across Idaho. Thankfully the heard was just a few meters away and they had just woken up. The perfect opportunity for a strike was within my grasp. At the head of the heard was a large buck, an intoxicating sight, he looked delicious. Thanks to my night black fur I was able to creep within pouncing range, which was still at least ten meters for me to jump.
I happened in a flash. I pounced from my position in the undergrowth and sank my claws into the caribous back. It called out in pain as I clamped my jaws around its throat, the taste of fresh blood filled my mouth, and drove me crazy. Looks like those other three weren't the only ones who were hungry.
The fight was over almost as fast as it had started and I managed to lug the massive hunk of flesh onto my pack and carry it back to the group. It was a great relief to see they hadn't moved yet. Without hesitation I walked through the shrubs with my prize and dropped it in front of the group. The females growled at me almost instantly.
"Who are you," Amy demanded.
"Names Midnight," I replied proudly.
"What are you doing here," Lori barked trying to sneak around my left flank.
"Perhaps I should ask you six the same question, you are in my territory after all," I replied smartly. Lori. Amy, and Monica stopped growling almost instantly and looked away in embarrassment, they had no argument anymore.
"Just, uh, passing through," Shakey replied. Was this really the best he could come up with.
"No need to lie Shakey I know why you are here. Brought by game wardens to repopulate," I said shaking my head. He just looked at me wide eyed and froze in place, as almost all of the others did.
"How did you know my name," he asked.
"I've been watching you six for the past few days, I know all of your names, Amy, Lori, and Monica the alphas, and then Shakey, Mooch, and Salty the omegas," I pointed around as I called their names. The girls gave me a suspicious look and closed in on me slowly.
"So you have been watching us since we've been here how do we know that your not trying to kill us," Amy asked showing me her fangs.
"Why would I have brought you this food, which by the way is for Salty, Mooch, and Shakey seeing as you three took all of what you caught earlier, and trust me Amy, if I was trying to kill you you'd be dead already," I said back showing off my blood soaked claws. The girls backed up slowly still watching me suspiciously.
"Well what are you three waiting for dig in," I laughed to the males. They were a bit cautious at first but then Mooch dove right in. I was terrified. I didn't want to get to close for the fear that he would mistake my leg for a rib. I hadn't seen anything that horrifying since the war between my pack and the south pack which was the second reason I was a lone wolf.
"Why are you giving them your kill," Monica asked almost selfishly.
"They looked hungry, and in my old pack it was courteous for alphas and omegas to eat together, it strengthened pack bonds," I explained trying to avert my eyes from the caribou. I hope Mooch saved some for the others.
"Your old pack, you mean you have a new one," Amy asked once again shooting me a look of suspicion.
"Sort of, I am my own pack, a lone wolf. I've lived here in Idaho for almost two years and I plan for it to stay that way. However, seeing as I can't have six other wolves running around my hard earned territory I am taking it upon myself to kindly 'escort' you out of here," I replied. They still seemed suspicious of me, but they nodded and talked between themselves while the males finished their meal. I noticed Shakey still hadn't eaten much, so I approached him and sat down beside him.
"What's shaken," I joked, "no but seriously, is something wrong, because I've noticed that you haven't touched hardly any food all morning."
"It's nothing," he replied.
"No it's not, I know as well as all of your buddies here that you love Amy, and as an alpha myself I must say it is quite unusual for an omega to love an alpha," I spoke quietly so I wasn't overheard.
"Thanks, that really helps me out," he said sarcastically.
"That doesn't mean I disapprove of it, and certainly doesn't mean I won't try to help you," I winked at him. His eyes shot open and he looked over at me and started to say something but I interrupted.
"Well since everyone has had some enjoyable breakfast I say we get a move on," I said heading off through the forest. At first they were hesitant but the soon walked up beside me. I looked back at Shakey who seemed to be more excited than he was yesterday, I guess what I had said gave him a little enthusiasm. But my task wouldn't be an easy one, I had a lot of work ahead of me.
