THE AMAZING WOLVES

CHAPTER 8: Acceptance

FIRESHARD'S P.O.V

Well, the mountains were ours. We had won in victory. But not me. I thought maybe for the first time in my life, I would be the hero. Well, I guess that's way too much to ask for. At least with Taoclan it was. And he had to make it so obvious. Yea, I get it. He's a spirit wolf and I'm not. But that's not what I cared about. There was something I overheard that sent me off. I was making personal space for myself in a cave when I heard Starla and Taoclan having a conversation. I listened closely. "We have made a pack and we found the perfect place to live!" I heard Starla say. "But what are the pack positions?" "I've got them all down!" Responded Taoclan to her. "Me, the Alpha Male, You the Alpha Female, Slush the Beta, Shadowfur the Delta, and Fireshard the Omega." He explained. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was furious. I was the Omega?! The lowest position in the Alpha's pack? That was a huge injustice! I was far more powerful than that idiot Slush! I was going to give Taoclan a piece of my mind! Alpha or no Alpha, that wasn't fair! After a while, I approached Taoclan, my fury visible in my scorching eyes. "Hey Taoclan!" I shouted. "What is it Fireshard?" He replied. "I overheard your little conversation with Starla. I'm easily the second strongest wolf in this pack, so I am worthy of a higher position than Omega! I mean Omega is the worst position! Give it to Slush or Shadowfur!" I barked at him. "Excuse me, Slush and Taoclan saved your life yesterday, and their sure a lot kinder than you!" He said. "Taoclan you idiot! Pack ranks are judged by strength and power, not friendliness! You're an Alpha, not a hippie!" "Hey, you don't talk to your Alpha like that, I have the power to kick you from this pack!" He argued sounding more serious. "Oh really!? Ugh, why don't I just fight you again, now for the Alpha position!" I spat. And I wasn't sorry either. "I don't want to fight, but if that's what you want, then you're on!" He yelled. I used all the fury in my heart and charged right at him! He stumbled back and started to bleed. I didn't nearly feel satisfied though. But that's when things got ugly. He walked up to me and said, "I didn't think you'd try so much. I thought that maybe there was a little kindness in you. And I know there is, but you need to learn not to do things like this. Don't worry. The pack won't hear about this. This is between us." After that, he jumped towards me and slammed me to the ground like he did a while ago. But this time it was harder. It was like last time he wasn't trying and this time he was, yet he wasn't using his full potential. I was bruised and bleeding, but I just didn't feel angry. I felt some crazy pleasure feeling. I thought maybe the hit had messed with my head, but then I realized why I was happy. It was because if Taoclan wanted to kill me he could have, but he didn't. He spared my life because he at least a little bit thought I was worthfull! I knew what I had to do. I got up and slowly walked over to Taoclan. "Sorry about that." I said. "I guess I'm just not worthy of a good rank." "Wait," he said. "You made me bleed, but I was using my best defense. That means you are very strong knowing that I am a tough wolf. Maybe you are worthy of a higher rank." He told me. "No, that's okay." I responded. I forgave him. But only because I feel very sorry for him. He doesn't know. He doesn't know about that "thing". He has no idea about him. And in the future I'll have my revenge. I was gonna tell Taoclan about him, but now I'm not. Taoclan will fall. Even if I have to die with him. Soon my day will come. He'll never see it coming.
