[$] The Wolf (w/KIWI <3)

Chewtoy was expecting to get through most of the defurring before one eye did anything else, usually the old man taking his time with things, but then he felt the other start touching his ear and he couldn’t help but look up in confusion for a moment before relaxing at the gentle kneading. He had a grasp on words, things like hand and no, he could understand simple things so far but it took even longer for him to learn how to say things. It didn't always help when he had such long gaps between learning sessions, and that no one in his pack spoke, but being around One Eye always seemed to jog his memory quite well. When the other spoke though it was a new strange word, one he wasn't sure about, hadn't they already said what the other was doing was touch?

But as one eye continued the pieces clicked into place a bit and he abandoned the rabbit for a moment so he could reach out and touch One eyes 'ear'. So those were ears? That's what they were? He thought they were just things for b***h to grab a hold of when she was angry. Chewtoy wanted to say the word but the r's were the hardest part he had learned, often leading to a growling sound, but he guessed he could try it. "Ea….earrrrrr" Chewtoy scrunched up his nose in distaste. What a atupid and annoying word. Why did it need so many sounds? And he had heard hunters speak before, this word had so few sounds compared to that, he wished he could learn faster and understand.

After a few moments Chewtoy started shifting around then continued to defurr the rabbit so he could eat as well. He offered what he had to one eye, knowing the other probably would take it considering he just ate then he started to happily eat away. He was more hungry this year than last, his stomach no longer used to such small meals, and finally fully maturing probably helped a lot with that. Chewtoy wasn't that young, had been with the pack for a long time, but it seemed everything about him just hard a hard time kicking in. When he was a pup he didn't start shifting till he was one, then it was not fully and all over the place, hardly gained control of it by three. It was just a pattern with him that in his old pack went unnoticed but seemed to irritate b***h for some reason.

Chew toy ate rather quickly before cleaning himself off and deciding that since they were both full they could cuddle and take a nap in the warm sun. He was slow about his approach as he was with everything, always cautious when wolves were kind to him, before finding himself nearly in one eyes lap with a wide eyed expectant look. The bruise on the other shoulder still looked nasty but with the man's full belly was clearly starting fade bit by little bit. Chewtoy was happy about that and a nap would help, and he liked napping like this in the sun, he could lay on top of one eye and not get over heated, stretched out on the wolves chest and happily listening to the sound in his chest.

**

Salin felt the others head swivel with the movement of his body and his hackles raise at the strange sound but instead of tensing and acting like it was a mistake Salin stayed very calm and collected. Being scared would have the other think that the noise wasn't normal to Salin either, might start something up, but if Salin stayed calm then most likely the big bad wolf wouldn’t think anything about it. Salin liked this spot, wrapped around the wolf, the other was so warm and the snow was always so cold. It was pleasant, comfortable and after a few moments of silence Salin found his eyes drifting closed and his fingers lazily stroking at the fur.

He hadn't really slept last night, it was around that time for him, but he had been concerned with thinking of a way to get that he should have known wouldn’t work. Now that he didn't have to think about that anymore, and he was truly tired, he found himself curling up more so in the wolfs warmth and seeming to drift off to sleep. He slept so rarely it was always strange, his family had long ago deadapted to sleeping with their eyes open, but now that he was relaxing against the wolf his body suddenly felt the like of sleep fully and he found himself drifting off rather quickly.

**

Ghost smiled at Laugher from the tree, thinking the other understood him, but then he was being yanked and slamming into the tree with an "oof" sound before glaring at the others strange howl. He jumped up, shifting, and ran after laugher with a yip and bark of his own. They would have to go further away in order to hunt now but it wouldn’t take that much longer to catch something for all of them. Ghost tackled Laugher with a yip and licked the others face incessantly instead of using teeth, this was a fun game not something rough, before he bound up crouch low wiggling a great deal. He jumped up when Laugher came towards him, spinning around in his spot eagerly before bounding away through a bunch of pushes just like the deer he had seen so many times.

One Eye smiled, saying in a agreeing tone once the other got it, reaching out and touching his human ears: "Yes." knowing Chewtoy knew that word already. The older werewolf was content to be quiet as the other shifted finished with the rabbit, giving a simple smile and "No," He was well and full for now, and took a small pleasure in seeing the omega eat his fill of his own catch. And then after the omega had crept back close again the omega was resting on top of him, something the alpha did not dislike. Sighing contently at the extra 'blanket' of Chewtoy's warm body the alpha napped comfortably with the omega until the dipped low enough that they were no longer in warm light, but cool pre-night shade. At first the old one didn't mind, but soon the ghost of winter began blowing a chill wind to spite the coming summer and even snuggling with someone else wasn't good enough to stay warm.

The alpha yawned widely, lightly nudging the omega awake before he shifted back to his wolf form and stiffly (because of old just-waking-up joints instead of any hostility or tension) walked back over to his kill to tear out one good piece of raw meat from the chest cavity before offering the fatty moose meat to Chewtoy a moment; though the omega usually always declined his gifts. Once he'd refilled his gut the alpha curled up, much warmer now with fur, though a bit sad. The omega usually went back to his pack once the sun went down.

*

When the elf didn't repeat the noise and even did nothing more than begin to fall asleep Big Black relaxed, giving the other's pony-tailed head a affectionate lick before curling up for sleep with the elf warm and pressed close into his warm fur.

The alpha did not move an inch until far later in the night, nearly midnight, when Ghost and Laugher finally came home, each Beta dragging one leg of a deer they'd caught. Usually, wolves hunted and ate the kill where it laid; but with the female alpha now confined to the den they would need to bring food to her until the after the pups were birthed and near fully-weaned. This was a danger, as carrion could potentially attract hungry things (especially as bears would be coming out of hibernation and be frightfully hungry this time of year) but the pups could not just be born and moved all over the place. No, they would remain and keep the den secure.

The alpha rose--dumping Salin onto the snow, not used to cuddling with those who were not fluffy themselves--and hurried over to the meat, already hearing b***h's impatient snarls from within her black den. Big Black grabbed the small doe whole and just lifted her up off of the ground completly and brought the carcass whole to the den's entrance, dropping it and letting a now-quiet pregnant female drag her dinner in to feed.

Laugher looked a little flabbergasted, seeing as there was now, literally, nothing left for the rest of them to eat but the well-gnawed bones left from their last kill, and after having so much fun with Ghost and playing 'catch the deer-pup' as much as 'catch the deer' he was quite hungry. The Beta gave a little whine, but Big Black was already padding back to the elf and getting back to getting comfortable to finish off the night. Clearly hunting could be resumed come morning, in the alpha's opinion.

Heaving a sigh, Laugher just curled up by the alpha, so they could have a warm wolf-pile to sleep the night through with.

*

With the elf accepted by all (except b***h) the following week past pretty smoothly, with the wolves growing more used to the redhead's ways. Salin even had a decent amount of freedom, though there was always at least one wolf with him at all times. This was more from Big Black wanting the elf protected, with his flimsy skin and lack of proper fangs or claws than any thought that the elf would possibly want to run away.

And as the week passed with the wolves showing no other unusual behaviors beyond taking Salin in, even lonely Lincoln who was now working solo in the bunker relaxed into this state of affairs. Though the lynx was feeling pretty isolated and alone at this point he wasn't about to complain about it; he just kept as busy as possible (which was easy when the intended two-man job suddenly turned into a one-man one) and only called HQ as often as once a week as a proof he and Salin were still alive.

Old One-Eye enjoyed using the time to get some meat back on his bones, but soon competition got a lot more fierce for food. Wild lynxes, bears, and all the predators now had their own young to feed and fat to gain back as well. He'd managed to catch a yearly buck for himself when a she-bear and her cub stole the carcass from him, the alpha forced by good sense to retreat from the creature that was heavier and stronger than he was, not to mention fiercer. Without a pack, even an alpha male like him didn't stand a chance against a bear. The elder wolf was in a bad mood as he walked down river in search of other prey, energy wasted on the buck that was now going down the she-bear's and her cub's gullets.

*

Something was up at the den. Big Black and Laugher were pacing in front of the den entrance, extremely attentive and noses quivering; tails trembling in contained excitement. There was no big uproar from within, in fact it was very silent ... until the first tiny little whines and grunts started, with a very loud complaining squeals. b***h was exhausted, but for once calm and happy as she cleaned each of the three pups one by one, nosing them towards her two teats and feeling the plesent sensation of her young getting thier first meal. She only moved to nudge one pup out of the way once and a while, making sure they all had adequate turns at the milk until all were sleeping, full, and quiet.This would be her full-time job for quite a while now.

Outside Big Black and Laugher were acting ridiculously happy, running around like over excited pups and whining and howling gleefully. Wrestling with each other and also pulling the other bystanders into play too, whether they wanted to or not. Puppies! New puppies were here!

Chewtoy laid with the other for a long while, enjoying himself, but when the sky started to turn dark and it grew colder he knew that he had to leave. The little omega gave the older wolf a few licks, and a gently n** after declining the food, before he was trotting off to go back to his pack. After the first time it became a nearly daily routine with the young Omega leaving sometime early in the morning and showing up later in the day to be with the pack. It saved him trouble the few time b***h slunk her way out of the den… but he had also learned he had a new friend who could teach him things. Salin had caught the wolf trying to remember the few words he knew and they ended up sitting down for a good few hours one day as the red head taught him how to say things.

He had learned "nice" and "river" and was learning how to tapper off the R so it didn't sound like he was growling. Thing like "where" were a bit more difficult but his learning was speeding up a lot with help from the elf. Salin had even told the other name, which Chewtoy sort of understood, and then helped him find one for himself. Something he liked, that didn't have any R's in it, and so he named himself "Danny" and left it at that. Chewtoy was surprised by how much freedom the other had though, knowing it wasn't the most normal, but at the same time he found himself not caring much because it meant that Salin could teach him… and if Ghost wandered over every now and then to be able to listen to the strange sounds from his friend then no one could fault the pup… even if he wouldn’t admit that he was learning the words and filing them away to say later.

Salin wasn't sure what would come of this, feral or not language was important and could help the pack if need be, so he taught who he could what he could and just found it nice to actually be able to speak instead of the silence of the first few days. As the winter ice thawed Salin noticed Chewtoy, or well now Danny, finding less and less reason to be with the pack. Clearly his mind was on other things and with spring heading into the air Salin could only imagine what that meant for them.

Chewtoy of course left before the excitement that day, not wanting to be around after a rather nasty bite to his paw from b***h when she slunk out. She had only come out for a moment but Chewtoy had the misfortune of being in her line of sight and while she couldn’t get at much Chewtoy was just lucky that Salin had stepped in while none of the others had been around. Now he limped along, still able to catch a rabbit on his way now that there were so many running about like crazy, and by the time he found his way to One Eye he had two rabbits in his maw and his tail was wagging low. He liked spring, liked the warmth, loved the way everything smelled and most of all he could stay longer with One Eye. He didn't have to worry about the male being somewhere in the cold and the wet with his old bones.

Chewtoy approached the other like he always did, but kept the injured paw carefully away from the other before setting the rabbit down and wagging his tail happily. The usual song and dance was had before Chewtoy changed with a big smile on his face ready to show the other all that he had learned the night before…. He wanted to know what One eyes name was, it seemed silly but he was excited. He pointed to himself first, tail wagging so fast he nearly couldn’t sit all the way, "Danny" he then pointed to One eye and waited. Surely the other knew what this meant, he knew so much, and Chewtoy was just excited.
**

Salin didn't understand what all the fuss was about as he laid down with a grumpy little ghost. He just watched the others jump around and be happy. Soon there was the sound of squeeling and whimpering then more silence and Salin knew what that meant. He was happy to know the pack had gotten bigger but he also knew that meant b***h would soon be leaving her hidey hole and he would be in for a s**t tone of trouble. He had made the female rather angry with him the last time he saw her by protecting chewtoy, but then again she only seemed to lash out at the Omega when none of the others were around. Salin could also tell Ghost wasn't nearly as happy as the other wolves but then again he had been an only pup for so long now that he probably wasn't too happy about suddenly being knocked from that position.

Salin stroked the little wolfs fur before he was jarred from his stewing to play with his father and laugher, not happy but just wanting to play, though Salin tended to stay out of moments like this in favor of observing. He was having a hard time coping with all of this, not being able to really talk to anyone, the wolves didn't understand because they had each other but Salin was alone in a wolf pack. Laugher had stopped being weary of him but Salin couldn’t say anything unless he was out of ear shot of those not accustomed to it and the few times he tried to leave he always ended up turning back because Ghost would whimper and whine.

Salin sighed as everyone bounced around, just watching with an almost bored expression, before he stood and decided that would be a good point for him to just find another place to sit in the sun. the only bonus had been Lincoln leaving his bag somewhere that Salin could find it so he hadn't been in the same thing for over a week now. Chewtoy had been curious about the bag and Salin had showed him mostly how it works and that it was safe as long as you didn't shove your head in it. Salin currently was bored out of his mind and though the warm sun was nice he had been… wanting to see something the last few days. He was here with these wolves, this pack, and he was so very curious because it looked to him that the reason the pack didn't change wasn't because they couldn’t but because the Alpha never found a real need to.

This made Salin curious about other feral packs, if they all so rarely changed form, but for now he needed to see if the change from before was a one time fluke. So he waited for everyone to calm down… before pulling himself happily into a tree. Ghost was used to seeing this, they would go out far and sometimes climb trees all day, so when the elf went up the tree he didn't make much fuss… Laugher and his father on the other hand were not quite as used to it so seeing the elf in a tree and then jump from one branch to another… Ghost just sat back to watch.

Big Black was growling gleefully and pinning Laughter as they panted and just gently mouthed one another after they'd burned out most of their happy energy when the beta beneath him suddenly let out a yelp. The alpha quickly got off, not sure what he'd done, when his head turned where Laughter was looking straight up at: a tree where the elf was jumping around like an insane squirrel. All happiness over being a father to more kids drained away in a second and the alpha was charging at the base of the tree, a raspy worried howl escaping him as he stared up. Laughter soon joined him, the beta letting out a worried, high-pitched bark before whining and looking at Ghost then the tree then Ghost again before going over to the smaller beta and pinning him; as if afraid the pup would go up and do something foolish too.

Big Black let loose a more demanding howl, clearly seeing the elf having a grand time but what the wolf wanted most was for the redhead to come down. Now. And he was not used to his orders being disobeyed.

*

One Eye's mood shifted when he smelled his usual friend coming near, tail giving a little wag before the omega came into sight. Pretending like he didn't realize the little russet was coming the old wolf turned and lapped up some refreshing cool water from the river, really waiting patiently for Chewtoy to get close. He lifted his head, water dripping from his muzzle as they did their usual 'greeting' but soon the omega gave him quite the surprise as he introduced himself. The old wolf's one eyes was wide before he changed too, grinning wide and ruffling the top of the other's long-haired head as a teasing reward before pointing to himself.

"Bulrak," he said, eye glinting amusedly because he knew how much the other hated 'r' sounds, and sit down next to the omega as water lazily passed by, a few ripples forming from fish below the murky water. "How?" One-eyed Bulrak asked curiously, seeing the other wouldn't have just gone and chosen such a 'normal' sounding name by himself.  

[Killer_Kiwi_XD]

Chewtoy scrunched his nose up at the name, already knowing it would cause him problems, before Bulrak was sitting next to him and asking how. How what? Most likely the name but that was harder to explain because he wasn't sure how too. How did he explain to Bulrak the strange newcomer that was helping himself without actually say the word? Chewtoy had learned friend, but it had an R in it so pronouncing it was hard, he knew what it sort of meant and he wondered it Bulrak would as well. "Salin…Frrrriend…" He scrunched his nose again at the word, huffing in irritation, before he started plucking at the rabbits with his good hand.


It was hard learning how to speak, he had heard Salin say so many words at once and to know that they all meant something and putting them together meant something? It was daunting. It was like learning to yip and whine the right way all over again but instead much more vast and he wasn't as young as Ghost, he seemed to be learning so quickly it was almost scary, it was taking him time. Chewtoy wiggled a little bit while he focused on his task before offerin the second rabbit to Bulrak. He changed to eat his own rabbit, keeping his injured paw curled up and away from the rabbit before changing back putting his injured hand in the river. Salin had showed him that it made things hurt less when the male had gotten a pretty nasty scrape, made things heal a bit fast, so now when he was injured he would try to "clean" the wound with and without the help of his tongue.

**

Salin was actually enjoying himself up in the tree, he could see the grinning face of ghost, until suddenly he heard the noises coming from below. Ghost was watching intently, wondering what would happen, when Salin stopped and stretched out on a branch like he had ever right to be there and no one was trying to get him down. Of course ghost wasn't going to interfere this time, he knew Salin wasn't scared, but most likely the red head was bored or… or trying to get some attention that his father rarely showed the male beside sleeping. Wolves were known to do that, hell ghost did that sometimes, Salin clearly wanted attention and he couldn’t just ask to play like Salin was able to do with Ghost and Chewtoy.

The red head stared down at BigBlack with a curious look then seemed to just stop and wait. Ghost saw that look, he gave that look to Laugher sometimes, so he yipped at BigBlack and changed under the other wolf. Then looked to Salin and back to his dad while changing again in the hopes the wolf would understand so they wouldn’t spend most of there day with elf up a tree. Ghost knew just how stubborn his friend could be and while most of the time it was funny Ghost was curious to see his dad shift again too. Salin just stared down at the other, legs dangling just out of reach, if Bigblack changed he could reach the elf easily but for now the red head was just relaxing in the tree and staring down at BigBlack and waiting.

Though while he was up there he did knock down a few pears to eat later, knowing ghost would want some too, no reason to not get something down while he was up in the tree.

Bullrack tilted his head, wondering if this 'Salin' was a newcomer to the pack because Danny had never had help learning before, but he nodded and accepted the offered rabbit. Beggars could not be choosers, and in his old age especially agile little snacks were very hard for his old joints to move fast enough to grab. So usually it was either feast or starve most of the time for him, though in harder times he could patiently wait for such small prey to come his way. Of course once they were both wolves and eating Bullrack noticed the other's injury, snout wrinkling a little. When the omega moved by the river and stuck his hand in as a human, Bullrack swallowed down the last morsel of his own rabbit, hardly a fr tuft left, and was in human form himself as he sat next to the russet-haired male, face stoney and serious as he stared at the other's injured hand in the water.

"Who." It was half question half demand. The alpha did not like seeing the omega hurt; he wanted to break the leg of whoever had done this, though he knew he could not. "Alpha?" he guessed.

*

Black looked at his son, seeing the young beta shift one way then another beneath Laugher, the turned his very unhappy gaze back to Salin. He lifted his lip, silently showing his ire and fangs and clearly as happy as a cat forced with the prospect of taking a bath. He snarled up at the elf, because he was alpha and he was in charge, and he sure well right now wanted Salin to come the ******** down.

Of course the redhead did not.

Laugher swallowed, ears and tail down as he got off of Ghost and inched away a bit, very uneasy at seeing how angry Big Black was getting.

With a snarl the alpha reared up and was suddenly a man grabbing Salin's legs and yanking the elf down, grabbing the redhead in his arms and then holding the elf roughly by the shoulders, staring Salin eye-to-eye, teeth still bared. But he did not tear Salin's face off or bite him yet; instead, the Alpha waited for the elf to show proper apologetic submission for refusing to obey.

Chewtoy lookd up at Bulrak when the other asked who had hurt him and a smile chuckle made it's way out of his chest. He could barely get around the name, knowing it the alpha in question knew about this name and the meaning she would be very upset, instead Chewtoy just chuckled and nodded before muttering the word "b***h" and trying not to laugh further. He shook off his wet hand before looking up at Bulrak and then nuzzling him quite happily. His hand didn't really hurt anymore and he wanted to either play, learn, or curl up together in the sun. He liked being close to the other wolf and the need to be close just grew and grew as the days ticked by.

**

Salin wasn't expecting the sudden rearing or snarling, or to suddenly be yanked from the tree, and in fact the yanking probably did more harm than him being up in the tree. He barely got his feet under him before BigBlack was glaring at him and obviously looking for a sign of submission… Salin decided he would only go half way with that. He would submit but he wasn't going to roll over on his back and show his belly like the betas did. If BigBlack wanted him in the pack so bad Salin couldn’t continue with this floating about where he had no real place… just freedom and confusion on everyone's behalf. It was a bit crazy but Salin did what he had seen wolf pairs back home do when asking for submission seeing as most of them were all strictly alpha mating pairs.

He leaned in and nuzzled Bigblack leaving his neck easily open for the other to sink his teeth into, but unlike others he didn't just bare his neck… that was a beta's job. Suddenly Salin was very glad for all the research he had done because honestly it would make all of this a bit easier to handle than if he was figuring it all out on his own. When Salin pulled away though it was with a rather frustrated look, though he was looking the other over, before he started actually touching the Alpha in this changed form. It wasn't that hard now was it? And it was warm, the other was actually paying attention to him too and that did very strange things to his head and heart, but most Salin just wanted to see the other like this.

After a moment Salin nuzzled the Alpha again then grabbed some of the fruit off the ground and bit into it. As if showing the other he was just trying to grab something to eat… It had been hard trying to get the wolves to understand that he didn't eat what they did, that he couldn’t, Ghost got it and Chewtoy only understood after Salin was violently ill from being made to try to eat the stuff. At the moment though the red head was just eating and appreciating the view, he was never one to deny and appealing figure… even a wild one.

Bullrack raised an eyebrow at Chewtoy's word and chuckles, but was soon grinning. He'd never heard the other chuckle before; it was a lovely sound. As lovely as the omega was, himself. 'b***h' huh? He'd only ever smelled one female scent on the pack boarders, so it must be the female alpha hurting his omega. It made the hate easier and less frustrating, because now he knew who to rip into should he ever see her patrolling alone in the woods. He would give her twice over every hurt he'd ever seen on the omega. Tail and ear included.

As the alpha was nuzzled he muzzled and held the omega as well, seeming to enjoy being together as much as Chewtoy did. Though soon the old wolf grabbed a nearby rock and lifted it up for Danny to see, asking: "This?"

This was a usual game for them to play. One Eye would grab objects or point to things and ask "This?", waiting for the omega to give the object's name. If it was a new object (and there weren't too many of those around anymore) Bullrack would say the objects name, such as: "This rock." If Chewtoy forgot was something was called, One eye said the objects name and waited for the omega to repeat it. At first, this lesson was limited to the river bank, Bullrack content to sit and grab nearby things, along with pointing. Soon though it was a proper hike through the woods, Bullrack walking in his human form and seeking more objects to quiz Chewtoy on.

It was on this hike, right before he was about to give Danny a tricky question and point straight up to the sky ('sky' was a hard concept, harder than clouds and the sun because there was nothing but blue to point at) then the old wolf caught sight of one very unlucky squirrel. Instinct kicking in the old alpha shifted and had the little morsel in his mouth before the rodent knew it was even dead. Feeling satisfied with himself the alpha padded back over to Danny, giving the omega a meaningful nuzzle and crooning growl before dropping the squirrel at the omega's feet, waiting for his 'sweetheart gift to be accepted. Bullrack had done this for years when he'd been hardly old enough to catch anything but squirrels, sneaking off to neighboring packs to try to woo other sexually immature werewolves his age. The old wolf, of course, thought all packs had this sort of 'little romance before real romance' knowledge, and thought the omega would easily get the game so they could 'play' it from an innocent playful start ... to eventual binding finish.

The old wolf waited, tail lazily wagging and giving the dead animal a nudge closer to Chewtoy.

*

Big Black blinked when nuzzled, at first taken aback before inwardly deciding this felt ... right. This was correct. This close, cheek to cheek, the elf;s scent went right to his head, melting away his anger at the other's clear unwillingness to listen quickly to him even though the alpha wanted to stay mad and firm and unyielding. But he couldn't, it wasn't fair! Usually only b***h could do this to him when it was time to make more puppies, the scent calming but madly arousing all at once. Big Black swallowed back saliva in his mouth, the elf smelling delicious along with alluring, but was relived when the redhead pulled back, air clearer. Another part of the alpha didn't want the air to clear; he wanted to pull the elf close and ******** him right against the bark of the stupid tree.

But knowledge of his MATE currently nursing his unknown number of newborn children barely held him back, especially as the elf touched him and then nuzzled him again before just standing back and staring. The alpha huffed his displeasure and high level of frustration, throwing his arms up before turning and marching away.

Laugher turned his gaze between the elf and naked wild man walking away to go chew a bone to pieces somewhere, then sneezed. What a weird series of events. He then licked Ghost on the head and gave a hopeful whine, sticking his butt up. Would the gray one like to play now? Laugher had been feeling a little left out, Salin being Ghost's new favorite friend. The two of them and Chewtoy (when the omega was around at all) off in human form doing stuff.

Danny liked this game that Bullrak was starting, he liked naming things, though telling the other he was holding a rack was hard thanks to the R it was still fun. It didn't take long for the adventure to start moving, Danny bouncing around with his tail wagging in excitement, he found himself very eager to play until sudden Bullrak caught sight, and scent, of something and took off for a moment. Chewtoy shifted, curious and alone but with the other wolf not far off, before seeing the large wolf come bounding back through the woods. He tilted his head at the fact the other had a squirrel, ready to wait for the other to eat, when suddenly the squirrel was dropped in front of him and he didn't know what to do. b***h had done this plenty time, dropped something in front of him and pretended it was a kind gesture, only for him to be bit whenever he tried to reach for it.

In his old pack, before this whole mess, he had seen soon to be mated pairs do this for each other but after so long of b***h hurting him he just wasn't sure. His ears laid back, tail tucked under himself nervously, he went to sniff the squirrel but flinched away when Bulrak moved. He wanted to think it was a kind gesture, that Bulrak liked him enough to do so, but every time the wolf shifted he instinctively flinched away like he was expecting something. Eventually he just laid down and whined, looking up at Bulrak with sad eyes, he didn't know what to do. He had basically been trained to never accept this after so long with b***h, he couldn’t even grab the damn thing laying in front of him, he didn't know what to do and even if he changed forms he couldn’t explain so all he could do was sit there and whine in frustration.

After a few moments of thinking, scratching through his memory to home, he tried to remember the other things that his old back did before he had to leave. When something came to mind he stood, stepping over the rabbit, and nuzzled Bulrak. He licked the wolfs muzzle, whimpered a bit, then flopped down and rolled onto his back. He had no idea what he was doing, just that he had seen it before and it got the point across, he didn't want the alpha to think he wasn't interested at all.

**

Salin watched the alpha storm away in his changed state, curious, and then after a few moments he followed after him. Maybe not the best idea, most likely not the best idea, but he wanted to see what was going on. When he found BigBlack again, the male sitting down this time, Salin got down near the other and decided to try and play the game he got very used to playing with the big wolf. It had gotten him quite a few happy licks after the first time, and a bit of joy, so he wanted to try again because the wolf seemed so frustrated. Salin was very slow, and careful, but when he got close enough to BigBalck he slid a pear into the others lap before laying back down like he hadn't done anything. BigBlack wouldn’t eat it, Salin knew that, but it was a peace offering that he hoped the other would accept since he had just made him so frustrated.

Ghost looked up at Laugher when he was licked then grinned and hopped up to his feet. He wanted to play! He loved playing and soon Laugher wouldn't be playing much and Ghost wanted to play as much as he could before his friend wasn't allowed to and the new annoying things were allowed to roam around. Of course the moment they started chasing Ghost was back to bounding over bushes like a giant wolf shaped deer, it was something he had done his whole life and appeared to be a habit he would keep, until he jumped out of a bush and on top of Laugher with a large grin of his own. He tore off away from the other wolf, excited and with far too much energy, before the next time he leaped and ended up shifting mid jump.

Laugher was quick though, thankfully, and Ghost didn't end up crushing the other male in wolf form when he landed on a solid chest instead. Ghost wiggled around happily, nipping and licking at Laugher, before he sat back and laughed like he had seen laugher do so many times.

Bullrack tilted his head this way and that, not understanding Danny's sudden skittishness when he tried to nuzzle and reassure the other, but every time he moved closer the little omega moved away. The alpha whined a little, confused and not understanding why the other was reacting in such a manner. Was Danny refusing his advance? Why? The alpha had thought things were going very well for a relationship that wasn't one of the most orthodox. But when Danny was licking his muzzle and rolling over. Bullrack was quite confused, but with his tail going a mile a minute he moved to quickly and eagerly stand over the omega, licking the other's face below him in wolf form. Then the old alpha was in human form, still above the other an on all fours as he began 'teaching' Danny about another more human pastime: kissing.

Bullrack wasn't sure how far this would go, how far the omega would let him go, but seeing the russet male laying submissively on his back before him had the old male feeling more than eager to show Danny just what a real alpha could offer; season be damned. He only had so many winters left in him anyway; he wanted to enjoy all the time he had left with this sweet, curious little omega.

Big Black ignored Salin at first, sitting and picking through some left over bones and sniffing at them to see if any still had any traces left of marrow within. He was grouchy and didn't want anything further to do with the elf--

Well, until Salin droped one of the ew-food things in his lap. The alpha turned, staring at the long-haired redhead even though Salin acted like he hadn't done anything, just laying there on his belly. Big Black grumbled a complaining growl, then moved to paw with human hands at Salin's clothes, trying to get the objects off. The alpha seemed particularly determined to make sure the elf's pants were annihilated, tugging and pulling with a single-minded focus.

Laugher was so happy to have Ghost playing with him the older Beta didn't even playfully 'n**' when jumped on and chasing, all licks and tail-wags until the deer of a wolf was hopping at him in human form. The timber male reacted accordingly, grinning and wiggling happily at the sound of Ghost's laughter, soon joining in the noise with his own laughs and proceeding to wrestle with the young beta in human form, too happy to care whether they played in one form or another. The spring sun was warm all the weather was good: perfect for doing anything they wanted to.

The older Beta playfully pinned Ghost down beneath his larger human body, grinning and nibbling with playful growls on the pups ears while the other was stuck.

But when Big Black caught sight of the position the two Betas were in suddenly another instinct overpowered his current drive to get Salin out of his pants. The alpha was up and off and shifting into wolf form with a very noisy snarl that had Laughter quickly lifting his head up to see what the boss was angry at ... when his eyes widened when Big Black was clearly charging at him. The Beta scrambled off of the alpha's son, shifting into wolf form as Big Black charge into him, bowling the smaller beta into his back before Laughter could assume the position himself. The timber wolf's tail between his legs and ears pinned back as he whined and looked away submissively, not daring to move as Big Black snarled down at him and raged a good minute before quieting down, his black legs still and tail held as high as it could go.

Seemingly satisfied the Beta knew his place, Big Black stepped stiffly off of Laughter and huffed, licking his nose and walking back towards Salin with the intention of resuming trying to get the elf's pants off with the help of his human form thumbs as if nothing intense had just happened.

Laugher cautiously sat up, then gave a giant sneeze of relief and gave himself a little shake to get the stress out before giving Ghost an open-mouthed wolfy smile with a little tail wag.

Chewtoy liked this kind of play, the eagerness the older male showed, he was glad the other understood in a way that he wasn't turning him away. Of course it was hard to do this and explain about what b***h had done, he hadn't ever paid attention to it before, but those thoughts were soon forgotten as Bullrak changed forms and started mouthing at him as a human. Danny was a little confused but he shifted forms as well and stared up at the other with curious eyes until he noticed that he quite liked this strange thing Bullrak was doing. He tried it too, a bit clumsily, but his tail wagged and he realized he was getting better at this silly thing that made his heart go all funny and his stomach warm.

He had done things in wolf form before with other wolves, he was used to that, sometimes it was fun and other times it wasn't but right now this was different. They were both very exposed like this, but it was nice and warm, and it felt so very different. Danny couldn’t help but smile at the feeling and decided that there couldn’t be any harm in this in letting go, it would be a new experience and something about Bullrak made him want to break the rule of sleeping outside the pack. He didn't feel like the old Alpha was really outside the pack so as things escalated Chewtoy just…went with the flow.

Salin was waiting for some kind of response, anything really, but of course he really wasn't getting much from the big bad wolf in front of him. It was a bit annoying really, and he didn't quite understand why he wanted the man's attentions so much, but after a few moments it seemed that BigBlack had conceded but then the wolf start pawing at his clothes. Things were easy with thumb, easier to get off, but Salin wasn't sure he quite wanted to be completely naked around the wolf and even more so with the cameras he knew were watching. Thankfully it seemed he had a reprieve when Laugher got a bit to friendly with Ghost, Salin could understand what was going on, but of course BigBlack was back and pawing at him again.

Salin didn't know what to do, he knew the clothes were probably coming off one way or another, so he could either concede and take them off in one piece or lose them to being shredded by a frustrated human/wolf that wanted him naked apparently. Salin decided he shouldn’t complain, the wolf couldn’t want anything so it was fine, and carefully he pulled off what he was wearing. It was weird, but the day was warm so Salin found himself not minding all that much, just curious as to what the alpha was trying to do.

Ghost was happy and playing, rolling around with Laugher, he was too young to understand that the position may mean something different to his father. He just knew he was enjoying himself and actually getting to play with Laugher but then suddenly there was snarling and growling, Laugher running, and Ghost just sort of jumping up and shifting with his own tail between his legs concerned. They had just been playing, Ghost didn't get why his dad was so angry, but of course it didn't take long before the alpha was backing off and Ghost was slinking lowly over to Laugher only to lick the older wolfs muzzle and give him a bit of a friendly nuzzle of concern.

His ears stayed laid back though, not really feeling like playing anymore, but when Laughed started grinning at him and amping up to play again Ghost couldn’t help but relax and start wagging his tail. He just wondered how long it would be before his mother would start whining for food, and they would have to hunt again, though she had a carcass in the den with her so most likely it didn't matter. Ghost yipped and barked as they started playing again, bounding around with the energy of a wolf pup his age, he took a few good leaps over Laugher as the other wolf tried to catch him. The wolf was rather fast with his rather strange bounding leaps, could jump a lot higher too, there were a few times he had startled birds and managed to jump high enough to pluck a fat one right out of the air.

Big Black tilting is head but seemed pleased when the elf finally got the clothes off, then proceeded to tackle the elf and playfully nibble on one of the elf's weird pointy ears before hopping off and running a bit away, then waited. The alpha's blood was hot and he wanted to do something with the elf. And with the clothes off he could finally more properly admire the male without anything between them when they touched. And, right now, Big Black wanted to wrestle and chase and just get to know the elf completely.

So when Salin didn't come after him fast enough the alpha huffed and went to pounce on the elf again, keeping human form because to the alpha his wolf form seemed an unfair advantage. Plus the elf seemed to like this form too ...

*

Laugher barked and yipped his laughs as Ghost hopped around so much the young wolf seemed like an overgrown rabbit, and took up the chase with more than a little joy: keeping on Ghost's tail as sure as a hungry fox. As the game progressed the Beta even jumped a little with each of the pup's leaps, teeth snapping air playfully though he didn't really try to grab Ghost really: that could've hurt the young wolf, despite their thick fur. Though thanks to his years of experience the older beta did manage to hop on the younger Beta and give the other's scruff a playful nibble and lick before he was quickly off Ghost and running away, the pup now 'it'.

Salin was curious as to what the wolf was doing when he was suddenly jumped on and, to his chagrin, his ear was nibbled. He hated that quite a bit because it was just a wolf thing but he had such sensitive ears and it shot straight down to where it shouldn’t have. Salin sat up when the other bounced off, a bit dazed an confused, before realizing the wolf just really wanted to play so he decided it wouldn’t hurt. He would just have to protect his ears so nothing to awkward happened between the two of them. Though this time with Bigblack pounced Salin rolled away then playfully pounced on the alpha. It was awkward and strange having everything hanging out… but he had to just remind himself he was in an area that this was normal.

Salin nudged the other before jumping back and letting the wolf pounce at him. He was a slippery thing, wiggling his way out of quite a few grabs with playfull nips and laughs a lot like laughers that the group was used to. Salin found it surprisingly easy to play with the wolf, even rolling around when things got a bit awkward, before it reminded him of when he was younger and he would play with his older brother. The man was long dead now, one war or another taking his life, and Salin didn't get the chance to really run around like this. It wasn't long till he found himself clearly trapped under the wolf and squirming around to try and escape, even trying to distract the wolf with a nuzzle or a n**, it seemed BigBlack had wised up to his game too because he was mostly trapped.

**

Ghost barked and yipped at the play, even happy when he was finally it, before finally he just collapsed while panting. His tongue was lolled out to the side, panting and still grinning while wagging his tail, but exhausted. He shifted and rolled onto his back stretched out to cool down after being covered in furr. He wanted to play more but he was tired and over heated, the one downside of the warm weather, but thankfully he was sure Laugher would understand and maybe lay down with him. He missed the wolf a lot, he hadn't noticed how little time he spent with him, it was sad and while Ghost was starting to understand how to speak it was still no fair for him to deny playing with Laugher.

((So this post is exactly 420 words long <.< ))

Big Black was elated when the pointy-eared not-human responded to his advances and the game was on. The play got his heart pounding and him liking this good-smelling creature even better. The elf was no as fragile as Big Bad may have been assuming: no, Salin was agile and strong for his size, like a fierce little weasel. Even if at first the elf seemed a little unsure, soon they were both playing 'catch the other' as enthusiastically as two newly-shifting kids. And for the alpha it was the best fun he'd had in a while, real playing fun.

Once he had the elf pinned the werewolf grinned triumphantly, giving Salin's nose a lick even as the other nipped at his chin. The alpha didn't care though, nuzzling the elf and getting nuzzled back--but not giving up his grip when he'd finally managed to get the redhead down in one place! Throat rumbling with his play-growl, the wolf nibbled on Salin's ear again, only this time he stayed close enough to realize his nibbling had a very noticeable effect on the elf. Big Black paused, pulling back a little at the warm, tickling scent of arousal not present on the elf's sweat, and the funny coloration on the elf's face. Licking his lips the alpha licked the lobe of the elf's ear and gently nibbled again, curious and excited at this turn of events.

And answering arousal with arousal.

With a pleased shiver going through him and now thoughtfully enticed by the elf beneath him, Big Black didn't even care what form they were in and began attempting to do what a matted wolf really usually didn't do at all with anyone besides their mate. And yet, here Big Black was.

*

Laugher plopped down right near Ghost, tongue hanging until he shifted too, and even then his mouth was open wide in a grin as he panted and sweated with the pup. The older wolf rested his head on Ghost's shoulder a moment, liking using the other as a pillow as they both had some well-earned after-play rest time. Laugher lay on his belly, the grass and dirt nice and cool against him as the sun prickled his back a little, but not as bad as it would've heated him if he'd still been in wolf form. Sighing contently around his heavy breathing, Laugher gave one more tired chuckle before ruffling the younger Beta's hair, grinning like a fool.

Salin was expecting a lot of things but to have the wolf latch onto his ear again was not it. He should have guessed it, that seemed to be so common during play, and his body just reacted without his consent. Salin felt his cheeks blaze pink in embarrassment, sure that Lincoln was rolling his eyes at the whole situation, but then something actually interesting happened and for a moment Salin was breathless. BigBalck apparently intended to do something with him that Salin wasn't to sure he was up to. When the other latch back onto his ear again though all he could do was give a shiver and a paw nudge. He couldn’t exactly say anything, it would probably go over really poorly and end up with physical injury, and something had Salin just… not wanting to move.

Of course having the male nibbling on his ear didn't help, even less so as Salin suddenly found wide hips between his legs. He struggled for a few moments, pushing at the broad chest, he wanted to get out of this situation before it went any further but he couldn’t exactly budge the wolf. Instead he close himself off tightly, tried to n** at the other, his knees pressed against the wolfs stomach. There was no true escaping though, even more so when he wasn't sure he wanted to escape.

**

Ghost curled up with Laugher, glad they were relaxing happily in the grass, but of course peace only lasted as long as Ghost had little energy and soon the pup was up and searching around the little are they had ended up in curiously. He found some fruits, and berries, littering the ground and sniffed around till he found some that were pleasantly fresh and he had eaten before. He had no idea of what was going on back at the den, or even further out in the woods with Chewtoy, and then again he wouldn’t quite understand.

They were far away from anyone, and anything, other wolves were not even on their minds and while Ghost was heading quickly toward the right age it wouldn’t be till autmn when they moved that he ever even had a wolf try to court him. Maybe he would ask Salin when he could speak better what was going on. He hadn't really been paying attention when his mother and father had made the new pups but he had smelled something gross in the air and there had been a lot of growling… the only question was why his mom had the pups in her stomach.
