Alpha and Omega: A New Day

Devon and the Confession

Jake’s POV

As I rushed home from Sirius’s den a thought kept going through my head. I couldn’t believe I had a crush on Connor. But then again, the proof was staring me right in the face.

I enjoyed our noses touching, I couldn’t stop staring at him, and I don’t know why but I really wanted to lick him in hope that he will like me back. That however is a bad idea. 

If I try to lick him, he might think I’m weird and he will stop being my friend. Sirius is right. I should wait until I figure out if he likes me back. Also, it’s probably not a good idea for my parents to know that I like males. Don’t know how they would take it.

That night, I had a great dream! 

Dream Sequence/ Jake’s POV

“*yawns* Where am I?” I look around the den for something familiar. This definitely was not my parents’ den. There was a bunch of meat stored in the back and I could hear the sound of birds chirping in the nearby tree. Where was I? 

“Morning sleepy-head!” I looked over to see a gray male wolf come over and nuzzle me. My cheeks grew bright red from the loving nuzzle. I look at the wolf confused. This wolf looked familiar but I couldn’t put my paw on who it was. He soon spoke up and cleared up my confusion.

“It’s me Connor! Don’t tell me you forgot what your mate looks like?” I had a surprised but happy look on my face as I nuzzled him back. I couldn’t believe what I heard. 

“We’re mates?” I ask him still in a state of shock. He looked at me with that confused look he always had growing up. He couldn’t believe what I just said.

“Of course! We became mates almost a year ago and we have been together since we were teenagers.” he said giving me a very cute smile. 

“But, how did it happen?” I asked wanting to get a clearer picture of how it happened.

“Well, several years ago, you asked me out and I said yes. As simple as that” He said giving me another nuzzle. 

This didn’t answer my question. I wanted to know more. Something specific.

“Can you tell me about how it came about?” I asked trying to squeeze more information out of him. He smiled at me as he let out a yawn. 

“Stop pretending! You know exactly how we got together. I will say this, when you asked to become mates, it was the happiest day in my life!” He said as he looked at me with a big smile. He then cuddles up next to me laying my head against his chest. “I love you Jake with all my heart!”

“I love you too Connor!” I said as I drift off into a deep sleep but not before he licks me on my forehead. 

End of Dream Sequence: Jake’s POV

It was then I woke up. Looking around, I was back in my parent’s den. What a crazy dream that was. I was really hoping that that dream would come true. It was right around dawn so I decided to head down to the river to grab a drink. 

As I walked towards the river, I kept getting the feeling I was being watched. I stopped a few times looking around but saw no one.

“Who’s out there? I know you are following me!” I called out hoping I’d be able to locate the stalker. Eventually I gave up and continued to the river. 

When I arrived, I grabbed a drink and looked at my image reflecting off the water. I’m not that bad looking, surely Connor would like me.

“I can’t believe it! I really can’t believe I like males!” I said to myself as I just stare at my reflection. I was totally unaware that the stalker was still watching me. “I mean, I guess it’s not too uncommon around here since we are an accepting pack. After all, Sirius and Drake are together and no one judges them. What do I have to be afraid of?”
