Loving The Unloved (Original Story)

Chapter 17

"I don't want you to be here Charlie. Next week, the Underground, I don't want you there. Just come with me. I can take you away from here." Victor said, stoping. Charlie snarled at him. "No Victor, I'm fine here. And I don't want you either." Charlie said. Victor growl and attack him to the ground, teeth bared and paw on Charlie to keep him down. Charlie whined.

"I know that. I'm just trying to keep you safe." Victor moved his paw and lick Charlie. "Don't you have faith in me, Victor? I know I'm not the best. Not like the previous one. But I want to show my worth to everyone. So everyone knows I do have what it takes to make it. I came this far, I have to keep going." Charlie said.

Victor whimpered. Charlie sat up and Victor rubbed his head against him. "I'm with you then. You'll always have my support." Victor said with a few licks. Charlie made a low growl. "Why the change of heart? You weren't as welcoming the first time you saw me." Charlie asked.

"A mixture of things Charlie. Take your master's position, have you as my omega, scare you. But the longer you stayed, I saw your heart. Your determination. I wanted you out. You have too good of a heart for them to break. Then you started conversing with other workers and they said good things about you every time. They were getting too attached.

I heard your pleads outside your door and I was pissed your master didn't satisfy you. I wanted to take you. But now, I just want you safe. You getting better Charlie, but I don't want you to come to the secret society. They will break you and not hesitate to kill you. Just come with me, please. We can leave right now." Victor insisted.

"The Head Alpha, the one who rescued you, told me you would be ready to not only follow you but help me as well. Just do this for me and I'll be alright. But thank you for your concern." Charlie said.

Charlie got up and started walking, guided by his nose. He notices he's way off track and makes his way back to the pack, Victor close by with his head down and ears back. He only hoped Charlie is right.

he sun started to go down when Victor and Charlie made it back, followed shortly by the pack leader and the other wolf. Jasper came from his family to Charlie. "Where have you been and why are you with him?" Jasper growls out. Victor bared his fangs, but his ears were back and tail between his legs.

"No reason. Just walking him back, sir." Victor stalked off, looking back once to look at Charlie. Jasper watched him go, Charlie nipping him to get his attention. "Don't worry Sir. We were just talking. Nothing happened." Charlie said. Jasper still sniffs under his tail to be sure. "Ready to run?" Jasper asked.

Charlie wagged his tail. "I haven't run in this form before. But I'm willing to do it." Charlie said. They walk to Jasper's family, which was getting up. "Good. I hope you can keep up. The night is bright and it's the best time to hunt." They hurried along and caught up to them.

Charlie never really met the grandparents, but they seem friendly enough and didn't have any complaints about Charlie joining them. The grandmother's eyes were strict though so Charlie felt watched. Jasper's sister walked next to him. "So your Jasper's new lover. You seem fine to me. Ignore our parents.

They can be strict, even with their kids. I guess it's like a sign of love or something." She said. Charlie said nothing, not sure if he should. But he was glad she was nice to him. "Race ya." She said then took off.

Charlie took off as well. His paws pound the ground, air against his face, body stretching as he caught up to the female. He heard the family behind him, but as he passes the female and let instinct take over, who need to be human when there's freedom.

They ran past the town and Charlie slowed down when he saw the stray half breeds near starvation. It reminded him of the orphanage. His bedmates. No matter how bad they were, he still wanted to help them. Some of them were his relatives' thanks to the owner abusing them.

Maybe there was a way to help them. Maybe even human kids. Charlie shook his head and caught up to Jasper's family, working out a plan. After landing a kill and the family started eating, Charlie yanked hard on the dead dear leg. Once apart, Charlie ran off. He heard Jasper call to him, but Charlie kept running back to the town.

Charlie, once there, looked onto the streets for angry humans. He didn't want to get beaten. Charlie huffed. He walked onto the streets, guiding his nose to half breeds and full-bred wolves to an alley. He heard them growl at him, surely ready to attack him for there next meal.

They all looked skinny. Charlie dropped the leg. "Peace offering. It's not much, but it's food." Charlie said, backing away. They watched him and stalked forward until they covered the meat and started eating. Charlie wagged his tail. Crisis adverted. That was until he turns around.

It was the same wolf Charlie outside the car. Harsh green eyes, black coat of fur with a white underbelly and grey around the muzzle. He back Charlie up to a wall with a growl and a crazed look in his eyes. Charlie was stuck.

"TRAITOR!"
