I wasn't going to lose much. I had no family, no friends, no life. I was a ghost trapped in purgatory, and I was about to set myself free. I would end all the pain, the suffering, the loneliness. I looked down over the cliff and sighed dully. I thought back as to why it had all came to this.
I grew up, basically alone all my life, o from what I can remember anyway. I think it was 8 months before I was accepted into a pack. It was a very large pack in the eastern part of Maine, I think there were over 60 Lupi in it. They were usually friendly, at least most of them were. I had no idea what my name was, so they named me Midas. I also didn't know if I was an alpha, o an omega, so they sent me to alpha school, which I passed fairly easily.
But, that all changed one giorno during my secondo summer there. I was off hunting solo, when I smelled smoke. I ran as fast as I could back to the pack, but I was too late. They had all been burned alive da a forrest fuoco that had just narrowly missed me. All of the Friends I had made, the family I loved, all gone.
Eventually I made my way north into Canada. I spent another 5 months with a smaller pack who also cared for me. I was about 3 at the time, and I fell in Amore with a beautiful alpha named Alexa. It was the giorno of our wedding and nothing could bring me down. My Friends took me out to celebrate before the ceremony when we were jumped da a bunch of rougue alphas. I tried to protect Alexa, but I wasn't able to. They pinned me, and forced me to watch them rape her, and then kill her.
I was devastated. For 9 days I didn't eat a single bite of food, I didn't want to eat, I didn't want to live without Alexa. I stubled around aimlessly for what felt like 2 weeks before I ran into the pack of alphas that killed Alexa. I watched how careless and violent they were around each other, so I did them a favor. I put them all out of their misery, I killed them all for killing my bride. The one who raped her, I broke his legs and layed him on the train tracks, then waited for the train.
After that, whenever I would be accepted into a pack something bad would happen and again I wound up a loner. In the end though, I just guessed it was me that was causing all of these problems.
And now as I stood on the superiore, in alto of this cliff and looked over the edge I felt somehow secure. Ther would be no più pain for anyone, I felt that this was the only way out. So I reared back as if I was about to pounce, stretching my muscles as hard as I could. Then, I jumped.
The fall was at least 200 feet straight down do the rocks waiting below. I tried to steer myself away from the water and aim straight for the biggest rock I could see. I closed my eyes tightly so I wouldn't know when I hit. Then I felt the impact like ton of bricks against my head, and then I felt nothing.
*3 days later*
I opened my eyes slowly to the sight of an all white room. I just knew I was dead. I tried to walk inoltrare, avanti but I bumped my head against something. I shook my head and looked up to see a bunch of bars in front of me. I looked around to discover that I was in a room. There were animali all around the room, also in cages, with badages on various parts of their bodies. I started to ask where I was but a human walked in with a smile on his face.
"Morning buddy, good to see your finally awake," he detto happily as he lowered himself to the cage.
"How's he doing," asked another human entering the room.
"He's finally awake," the first replied. The woman knealt down and smiled at me and gave me a wave.
"Morning Blackjack," she detto cheerfully.
'Blackjack, that's not my name, is it,' I asked myself. I thought that it wasn't anyway. Maybe it was. I tried my best to think but I couldn't remember anything.
"Looks like he's recovered enough to be released," detto a third human as he stepped in.
"Yea, go get the truck started so he can go get used to his new home," the woman detto to the third man. He nodded and walked out of the room as did the woman leavnig the first man sitting in front of my cage.
"You're lucky to be alive buddy, te fell off a cliff and hit your head hard against the water. But there's a pack in this park that te will like, we're going to take te there right now," he smiled and opened the cage door slowly. I wanted to go bursting out as fast as I could, but I didn't. Actually it was più like I couldn't. My legs were completely numb, just like everything else.
The man reached in and picked me up slowly and carefully. He seemed very nice, and he pet my side as he carried me out of the room and out to a wating cage. This cage was smaller but it was still big enough for me to lay down comfortably in. He closed the door and picked the cage up to carry me outside to a waiting truck.
He sat me in the back and made sure the cage was secure before going to get inside. I heard the door close and instantly felt the truck lurch forward. I just layed there in silence trying to remember anything before I woke up. But the last thing I remember was a splitting pain in my head, and then nothing. The only thing I knew was my name was Blackjack and I was lucky to be alive.
The ride wasn't too long. After a few minuti the truck stopped and I heard the doors open. I felt the cage lift up and be sat gently on the ground. The door opened and to my surprise, I was able to dart off as fast as I could. I ran as fast and hard as I could, for as long as I could. The sun was high and bright, keeping the air as hot as it could. My legs began to burn insanely and I was panting like crazy but eventually I had to give in to my exhaustion.
"So... tired... must... rest..." I panted as I sat down beside a stream to drink. I lapped up as much water as I could, it was nice and cold which made me want to dive in. But I didn't want to draw too much attention to myself.
"Where am I," I asked myslef as I looked around. None of the scenery looked familiar. The only thing I could think to do was to find someone and ask for help. After all the humans did say that there was a pack near here. I stood up slowly and started to walk off when I haerd the bushes behind me rustle lightly. I turned around quickly but saw nothing.
"Hello," I asked softly. No reply.
"I guess I hit my head pretty hard," I detto as I walked off. I walked around pointlessly for what felt like an ora and still didn't see any wolves. I was begining to doubt whether there actually was a pack out here. Then I found a large sign successivo to a road.
"Jasper Park," I read aloud. At least I knew where I was. I walked beside the road for at least 10 minuti before I picked up a wonderful scent. I may not have remembered much but I knew one thing, I was close to a herd of caribou.
"Hope I still remember how to hunt," I detto as I creeped through the bushes. I made my way to the edge of a clearing where there were caribou all over the place. I started to drool at the sight of them and crouched down to creep through the tall grass. I got close to the biggest buck I could find and readied myself to attack. I grit my fangs and let my claws grip into the ground to make sure they were sharp. It was go time. I pushed myself inoltrare, avanti withnmy back legs and porpelled myself towards the large buck.
"Not so fast," I heard someone shout from beside me. I started to ignore them but felt something slam into my side. I hit the ground with a thud and the startled caribou darted off in a flash. The successivo thing I knew there was a set of claws at my throat and there was a black and grey lupo standing over me growling deeply.
"What do te think you're doing," he barked. I growled and tried to force my way free but he pressed me down and I just sighed in defeat.
"I was trying to figure out where I was and I got hungry," I replied. He didn't really seem to believe me and he forced me to my feet.
"So that made it okay to sneak into our territory and steal our food," he growled.
"No, but I didn't know this was anyone's territory," I argued.
"Be quiet Omega," he barked and I growled back defensively.
"I'm an Alpha for your information," I shouted back and had no idea where it came from. He looked at me for a secondo and turned away from me.
"Follow me, my pack leader will decide your fate," what other choice did I have. I wouldn't have survived on my own.
'Wonderful, I'm already making friends,' I detto to myself.
