It's been a while since I updated this story. Now that the Feeling is finished, I'll be focusing more on this story.
Alex stood domineeringly on the hill surrounding his den. He looked as his two close friends brought around a dozen Alpha Males to him. Sara had been ushered out of the den to her parent's den to make room for Alex's presentation. Alex had prepared exactly what he wanted to say. Every word was carefully selected to make a lasting imprint on the psyche of his audience.
The wolves came into the large den one by one, and Alex followed them in. George sat near the front of the group as they all sat down. He wanted to be the closest to Alex when he was talking. Alex walked in slowly, surveying the faces of the Alphas inside - some of which he knew well, others less so.
"Hello. I imagine you're wondering why George brought you here." Alex started with as he stood at the front of the wolves. George smiled as he heard Alex give him credit for organising the operation. "Well, as you must know, Kate has begun what can only be described as a degradation of our heritage. Her former Omega lover and Omega son, the latter of which does no work and simply frolics in the fields with his corrupted male lovers," Alex continued, insulting Runt, "have indeed made her soft on Omegas. Omegas do not do anything of benefit to our society. They simply sleep and eat. " The Alphas began nodding in agreement, though George - while loyal to Alex - thought he was overdoing it. "And so Kate must be forced to abdicate and replaced with a suitable leader in a free and fair selection by our Alphas."
The Alphas' eyes widened. This was quite extreme to suggest. Forcing a pack leader to abdicate? That was unheard of. But what Alex planned to do was less civil. He'd come up with a reason not to hold the election in due course, but for know his job was to make the Alphas more extremist. More in line with his principles that their own natural ones.
"How do you suppose we get her to abdicate?" one Alpha asked. This Alpha was large and powerful, and was the only wolf in the room to compare to Alex and George in physical strength. He was handsome, with black fur on the top of his coat, slowly fading down to a kind of maroon. His eyes were a stunning dark violet colour, which was fully unique in the pack. The Alpha must have been confidant to quiz a fierce Alpha obviously whipped up in passion for his cause.
"Well that's where the genius of my plan comes in," Alex began, "as we need four things. We need someone to organise protests and pressure campaigns - that would be me. People to show their disagreement and campaign against Kate - that would be all of you gathered her. We need someone to convince a majority of the wolves in the pack - that would be George. We just need someone to infiltrate the inside, to get on her good side. Perhaps that should be you." Alex replied cleverly.
"Sure." The large Alpha responded, wishing to get some kind of power in the movement.
"Well, are there any more questions?" Alex asked. Nobody put their paw up. "Great. Don't tell anyone else of this meeting. You'll all get informed about our first assignment. I'll need to speak with our little management team. Me, George and..." He trailed off looking at the black and maroon Alpha.
"Louis." the large wolf finished for him.
"And Louis." Alex finished as the Alphas began to stand up and go back to what they were doing. When all but Louis, George and Alex were left Alex gathered them round and continued the meeting for them. "Okay. I'm planning to get a bit of strike action going. I'll get some of the Alphas to not turn up for their duties. We should start small and slowly get bigger. George, try to get more Alphas for our next meeting next week." With that, George nodded and left the other two. "Louis, you need to find a way to get close to her. Maybe through her kids."
"I know Stinky. Not very well though." Louis revealed.
"That won't work too well. Stinky's go loads of friends and Kate's not going to think any one of them to be too special. I'm thinking more of a little more intimate of a relationship." Alex replied.
"Well," Louis looked a little puzzled and a little uncomfortable, "I could try to get with her daughter."
"No, that won't work. She's head over heels with some guy called Fleet. And Stinky, as you know, isn't going to want to get chained down."
"You're not saying I have sex with the 'Omega who does no work and simply frolics in the fields'." he protested, mimicking Alex's voice - much to Alex's annoyance, "I'm not gay, anyway." Louis stated, getting agitated.
"It's only temporary. At most you'll have to stick out one night with him. That'll be enough to get him to go all for you, I've see how he does it. He spends one night with someone and he goes everywhere with them." Alex tried to convince Louis, to minor success.
"I'll do it. But I want a reward." He bargained for.
"You'll be my second in command of our troops." Alex replied. Louis nodded.
Across the valley, Stinky sat outside in the stars with Humphrey. The rest of the family - Claudette, Fleet, Runt, Runt's boyfriend and Humphrey's new girlfriend - all were inside. Humphrey and Stinky had always had their disagreements. They argued more than any related wolves in the pack. They disagreed on almost everything. But Stinky was Humphrey's oldest child. Humphrey never knew what to do with an Alpha son, but he never disliked him - in fact he loved him just as much as his other two children.
But Stinky was at a crossroads. He was getting more and more power as time grew on. He was given stressful duties and had become Kate's second in command. But he respected his mother for that. He loved the Alpha way of life, and like Alex thought lowly of laziness. Stinky loved his brother, but that was where the list of Omegas he was sure he loved stopped. His father was like an obstacle. Even his closest friends always brought up that his dad was an Omega. Stinky liked Humphrey, but love was a strong word for an Alpha to use.
"Dad, are you happy that I'm an Alpha?" Stinky asked plainly.
"It doesn't matter at all to me whether you're an Alpha or Omega." Humphrey responded kindly, turning to his son.
"So you don't care if I work hard? That doesn't make you respect me more?" Stinky snapped, trying to fault his father.
"It makes me more proud of you. It doesn't make me love you more, because I couldn't love you any more than already do." Humphrey replied, keeping his soft, kind tone when speaking.
"Do you like Alphas?" Stinky further enquired.
"Being an Alpha wouldn't make me like anyone less. I'm friends with plenty of Alphas. Garth, Candu, Hutch, Daria, your mom." Humphrey answered with a smile. Stinky didn't know what else to ask. He was trying to see if Humphrey would lash out or grow angry, to justify his inability to say he loved his father.
"Dad?"
"Yes, Stinky?"
"Who are the people you've dated?" He asked.
"Well, let's see." Humphrey began, putting his paw on his chin and thinking back. "When I was very young, I dated Reba for a bit. That was just to say to my friends that I'd had a girlfriend. Then I think me and some other girl dated. Then I tried some stuff with Salty. But he was my best friend and I didn't really like thinking of him any other way. Then I think me and Candy dated for a tiny bit. Then I fell in love with your mom. And, as you know, she fell in love with someone else." Humphrey's eyes saddened when he said this. It had nearly destroyed him that Kate had left him. "And now I'm dating Sweets."
"Do you love Sweets?" Stinky asked, "I'm just wondering because this whole Alpha thing is making it hard to date any girls."
Humphrey waited for a moment before answering. "I do."
"But would you prefer to be with Mom?" Stinky asked further. Humphrey's heart skipped a beat. Stinky saw a bit of raw emotion in his dad, which made him feel a bit more like they could understand each other. Humphrey, however, did not answer.
"I'd rather talk about something else."
Okay! 6th Chapter down! I'm planning to carry this on for quite a bit, as this is just really the beginning, but I'll occasionally upload on 'College Daze'. When one finishes, I'll start a sequel on 'the Feeling'.
