Hunted

Omegas

Night had a hard time adjusting to being an omega. She hadn't seen Claw yet today, they both have been busy with their "chores". Last time she saw him, his fur was gnarled and he looked very tired. It must be difficult without a paw. Night twitched her ears, Hawk was howling. Hunters are back.

The hunters came back tails wagging. Each had a rabbit in their jaws. A small white male had two.

"Nice job, Flash," Hawk nodded at the male, "but don't you have a large catch to?"

Flash, I'll have to remember that, he must be lead hunter.

"Of course we do Alpha Hawk!" A black female with one white ear called, "Hurry up, Omega!" She called behind her.

Omega? What's Claw doing with them? Claw came dragging a large calf corpse by the ankle. It looked heavy, and yet Claw, a three-legged wolf, was forced to drag it, alone, all the way here.

Night ran to help him, "Let him do it by himself, he's almost done." The female told Night.

Night ignored her and grabbed another ankle. Claw growled, but not at the female, at Night.

"Just let me do it." Claw mumbled and panted, he looked exhausted.

Night heard a growl from the female behind her. Night shoved Claw off the carcass, which was surprisingly easy, and pulled it the rest of the way by herself. It was heavier than it looked, and exhausting just to pull it the small amount she did. Claw did this probably three times as far as I did.

Night laid next to Claw. They watched with hungry eyes as the food slowly diminished.  When it was the final rank's time to eat, there was half a rabbit left. Night sighed and split it as evenly as possible, secretly giving Claw a larger piece. Claw ate and walked off.

"Hey, Omega." A voice called quietly behind Night.

Night turned around, it was Lily, Night tilted her head at her. What could she possibly want?

"I just wanted to apologize for my rudeness, but you had a large bounty on your head you know. It's Lily, in case you haven't caught on yet." Lily smiled, a not as frightening one.

"Yea, whatever, it's fine. I'm just worried about Claw. " Night's tail clung to her legs.

"Well, thanks to you guys Tank and I moved up ranks in Patrol." Lily casually threw a freshly killed mouse at Night and walked off.

Night ate it gratiously and walked off to find Claw. He was laying against a tree. Night walked up and sat in front of him.

"You alright?" Night sniffed him.

He looked at her and nodded, "Just tired that's all. I know all the hunters' names now at least. The lead hunter is Flash, the little white male. His mate is Misty, she's second hunter and a light grey. Third hunter is Balto, he's a darker shade of grey, like me. Fourth hunter is Sable, the black female barking commands at me." He grunted, " Fifth hunter is Snowball, she's another white wolf and a real shy one at that. Last hunter is Alpine, he's a dark brown wolf." Claw yawned.

Night laid down and watched Claw slowly fall asleep. She quietly rose and slinked to the check out the patrol wolves. She saw Lily and Tank laughing and talking with a small red brown female. There was yet another white female talking to a grey wolf and a black wolf. There was a brown male with a scar down his left eye licking his fangs, he had his back turned to the rest of the wolves. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...,6..., and 7...

A wolf suddenly pounced on Night.

"AH HA! I got you, you little spy!" The female's tail drooped when she realized she had only caught Night.

"What are you doing, Omega?" The female hopped off her.

Night shook her fur, "Just trying to learn all the patrol wolves' looks and names."

"Boorriiing. Well, I'm Fox. Patrol wolf two." She smiled.

Fox, makes sense with those markings. She was brown with white markings identical to a fox.

"That's Tank, Lily, and Rose." She pointed at them, "and that's Diamond, Granite, and Dakota. That big guy is Ari, patrol wolf one. No one really likes him and he doesn't like anyone else." Fox pointed at the wolf with the scar.

"If your looking for someone to fight to rank up, I suggest Diamond, she complains about EVERYTHING." Fox called back as she walked off.

Diamond. Night looked at the white wolf.
