Loving The Unloved (Original Story)

Chapter 15

Charlie licked his small wounds, wondering what everyone waiting for. Many wolves mingled around, finding mates, or playfully fighting. Charlie saw Nicole play with a few females, but sometimes sneak over to the Alpha male wolves, sometimes being chased by a female Alpha away from the males.

There were pups mingling within the pack, not allowed to go far from their mother. Charlie listened to their howls and barks, sometimes playing with twigs or wrestling. It made him yearn for pups of his own and vaguely thought of Jasper. Does he have to be alone for the next few days without him?

Charlie whined and rolled over. He hoped not. Then when the wind blew, bringing the scent of other wolves. He got up, thinking it was incoming intruders, but the others didn't seem worried. Instead, they howled for their leader. The pack leader. Charlie was finally going to see the strong wolf who was holding this big pack together. Charlie joins the howl and soon he heard them.

-----------------------------------

Jasper ran next to his Alpha sister, listening to the howling of his pack. His black fur bounced as his paws pound the ground, bringing him closer to his soon to be omega. His father led the run, his grandparents falling behind, but still with them. The howls got louder until he saw a few Alphas coming to confront them but then submits to Jasper's father, licking his muzzle.

Jasper's father snaps at them, the others whining with their tails between their legs. The pack welcomes them, but Jasper only searches for one wolf. The only wolf his nose knows he wants. Jasper walked among them, sniffing groins and muzzles, looking for that sweet smell he made himself recognize when Charlie was sleeping. He wasn't far. When he looked up and saw one beautiful grey wolf in front of him, he knew.

-----------------------------------------

Charlie felt eyes on his and turn his head to see one fully black wolf walk up to him. Charlie bares his fangs, ears back, uncertain about the stranger. The wolf stops a short distance from him, ears forward and curious. Charlie, now that he knew the wolf wasn't going to attack him, sniffs in his direction, the black wolf's eyes.

The black wolf's eyes were a beautiful red, the same red Charlie remembers sending a thrill down his spine. Combine with the same earthy scent he recognized, Charlie whined. It was from Jasper.

Charlie got excited, jumping up and licking him. Jasper returns the affection, sniffing him more to make sure, both wagging their tails. "Master! You came. And you're a wolf. How?" Charlie asked, flopping down to his side. Jasper got down as well. "Good genes I suppose. I'm glad to see you made it here fine." Jasper said calmly.

He was honestly captured by the beauty that Charlie was. He can not only think about their future children, but also their future pups. They'll all be gorgeous. "I took a beaten not too long ago. Nothing too bad sir." Charlie said. Jasper could tell and was proud Charlie didn't let it deter him. Jasper got up and one of Charlie's wounds, but it was nothing to worry about.

The scent of his brother did.

Jasper turned his head and snarled, Charlie, sitting up with ears forward. "Dear brother, calm down. Can I not meet future family, that is, if the omegas allow him to be?" Said one stray wolf Charlie didn't recognize. He was a lighter shade than Charlie, white around the muzzle and underside side of his body.

Jasper put himself between Charlie and Xavior. "No. Go tend to mother's needs and get ready for the hunt. You will meet him later. Xavior bare his fangs and Jasper got ready to attack when needed. "Fine. He has more worrying things to look forward to. Perhaps tonight.

He has no choice anyway." Xavior said before stalking off. Charlie didn't know what he meant, but even he knew this was no vacation for him to be free. He was just glad Jasper was with him. He was hoping Jasper would help him in a few things, but thinking back to when he was cornered by the half breed, he wasn't so sure.

Charlie finally saw him relax and turn to Charlie. "You'll be fine my omega. Don't let his words put fear in you." Charlie didn't listen to his words and looked at Jasper's family. One in particular, the brown wolf with dark eyes, really didn't like him.

"Because there are worst things to fear. I know. As he said, let's get ready for the hunt." Charlie said, walking off. Jasper watched him, feeling determination roll off him. He looked at his mother who was watching Charlie.

Why do you have to go off of their judgment when it's your life? They can't control who you like nor who you love.

Those words swirled in his head as he walked towards his family. Those words meant something and Jasper remembers thinking about it as he held a sleeping Charlie. So many omegas left or died, not one sticking with him and choosing freedom.

Not Charlie. Maybe it was because of the slight exaggeration he told Charlie that night that made Charlie stay. Out of fear. Throughout the week, Charlie grew confident and more attractive in Jasper's eyes.

They can't control who you like nor who you love.

Once he laid by his 'mother', bumping his head against him, he turned his head towards Charlie, who was hanging around the pups. He was right. They can't control who he likes or loves. But they can choose who to get rid of.

At that moment, Jasper wasn't sure if he was agreeing to this. He doesn't want Charlie to die by Alphas. He was sure he wouldn't be able to watch that. For once in his life, Jasper felt like he wasn't in control and was afraid of what was to come.
