Chapter 2 Prep.
Claudette's POV
"Where are we even?" Runt asked as we walked outside the den. I hung back in an attempt to patch things up with Fleet.
"Yellowstone national park." Huntly said.
"Um Fleet I'm sorry forgetting us into this mess." I said and he looked at me half way angry and sad.
"It's fine I guess." He sped up and started talking with his sister.
"So your single now." Ed said and I rolled my eyes.
"I was never dating him." I replied and Stinky cut him off from me as we passed a hole in the ground. Huntly stopped, we all stopped around him.
"Ok we should set up some ground rules." He said.
"Ok like what?" Fleet asked.
"Um I don't know guess standard rules…..do as I say, don't do stupid things, I guess stuff like that." My faith in our guide has been shaken.
"Ok I think one of us should be an enforcer of the rules.' Stinky said
"Good point, um Runt right? You're the enforcer don't go mad with power. Also no flirting with each other." He said
"Wait wouldn't that job be more suited for an alpha?" Stinky asked
"Next rule don't question me." He said in response. In other words he didn't want to answer Stinky.
"So why are we sitting here?"
"Give it another three seconds." He replied. Three seconds later a giant stream of water erupted from the ground scaring everyone half to death.
"Can we go now?" Ed asked all of us were soaked and Huntly and Split were laughing at us.
"So do those rules apply to you?" I asked
"Um I guess." He replied and we shook ourselves off. "So does that count as something stupid?"
"No, that was just funny. Come on I'm hungry." We followed him to another den I could smell a fresh kill.
"Are we stealing?" Fleet asked and Magril whispered something in his ear. "You're hungry to?" My stomach began to growl.
"Um yeah stealing is one word for it." I could just taste the meat my mouth began to water as Huntly walked out from where we were hiding. There was a freshly killed half eaten moose Huntly started eating it and we ran out to join him.
"Jeez I never thought I would be glad to get the left overs." Ed said, it wasn't long before it was all gone and we headed off again.
"Where are we going?" I asked
"Well I can't just leave yet maybe tomorrow morning." He said I picked up the scent of some other wolves coming our way. We ran off and Stinky started getting mad.
"What do you mean tomorrow morning!?" Stinky yelled
"I mean we'll leave tomorrow morning, don't worry we'll get to Jasper." Huntly said we took his word for it and headed further into the forest.
"So um Fleet." I started speaking but he moved away from me.
"Looks like he's giving you the cold shoulder." Ed said I rolled my eyes again.
"Well Claudette looks like you and Ed are goin-"I hit Runt before he could finish making him whine a little.
"Hey knock it off you two!" Huntly yelled back it was clear he didn't really care to much though.
"He started it." I replied
"Alright true never mind then." He said as Stinky walked faster to catch up with him.
"So Mr. Huntly where's your pack?" He asked
"Um your about to meet her." He said as we came across a den out walked a ghost grey wolf, she didn't look to happy however.
"Where have you been?" She asked
"Dusty I'm sorry there were these kids and then Split got stuck, but I'm here now." Huntly said nervously she looked at him then at us.
"They aren't yours are they?"
"What no no no! They're from Jasper I'm taking them back." He said and she gave a low growl.
"So are you two…" Runt asked
"Oh um sorry about that kids my name is Dusty as for that question no there's nothing between us." She said firmly.
"So why are you two living together?" Runt asked raising an eye brow.
"Simple we both claimed this den at the same time and neither of us want to leave. So now we have to live with each other." She said
"Well Dusty this is Claudette, Runt, Stinky, Fleet, Magril, and Ed." Huntly introduced us and Dusty flipped part of her mane back.
"Fine I'll come to." She said now in a kinder softer voice.
"What you will? I mean um yeah sure if you think you can keep up." Huntly said. I looked at Runt who was snickering along with Split. Must be an omega thing I thought as we walked into the den that was divided by a line of sticks in the middle.
"Alright girls on my side and boys on his side." Dusty said kindly so Magril and I walked on to her side and made ourselves at home.
"How come you only have to make room for two?" Huntly complained
"Because I keep my side of the den clean." She said in a teasing tone. It was beginning to get dark I looked at Fleet one last time before going to bed I hated the fact he was mad at me.
