Alpha Jax

~Dakota~

“Ok boy, I have to get up now,” I said and he whimpered and shook his head and laid on me-he literally laid on me and I gasped for air. He was so heavy!

“Can’t... Breathe!” I got out and he got up right away and looked worried. I took in deep breaths of air before I got up. They all looked sad that we were leaving. Destiny walked over to me and smiled. We nodded once and looked toward the three.

“Wanna race? The last one to the deer stand has to get sprayed by a skunk.” I said and they shook their heads and covered their noses. We laughed and I looked toward the Alpha. He liked me the most and I hoped he would let me ride him.

“Can I ride you to the deer stand? I don't stand a chance running by myself.” After I said that he looked up and nodded. He stood up straight and I jumped on his back. I felt the tingles again and I knew my legs would fall asleep. But the tingles intensified when I got on him. My breath hitched and he looked at me weirdly.

I looked back at Destiny and she got on the Gray wolf’s back. She gasped too, and when she looked at me, we both shrugged and they all got into a line. I was gripping the Alpha’s fur and he purred a bit. They all looked towards each other and nodded like they were having a conversation.

“Ok. One,” I said and they got in a stance. I leaned down on the Alpha and held on for dear life.

“Two,” Destiny said and we looked at each other in a stare-off.

“Three, Go!” Right when we said that the wolves took off and we held on for dear life. They must have known where they were going, cause five minutes later we were there, riding on the backs of wolves. Everyone stopped and stared at us.

The Alpha and I came in first, the Gray wolf and destiny came in second, and since the Beta tripped back there, he came in third. We both laughed at him and he looked down in shame.

“Sean! Go find a skunk! We said the loser has to get sprayed!” We point towards the Beta, while he looks down in shame. The wolves join in on our laughter, they howled and rolled around on the ground.

Sean found a skunk and laughed.

“I’m just messing with you. I would have to be stupid to do that to the Beta.” Sean said and put the skunk back in time before it sprayed him. He ran away from it, but tripped on the way back.

I stayed on the Alpha’s back and played with his fur. He purred and I smiled. I leaned forward and laid down on him. I hugged him and kissed his head. We stayed like that for a few more moments until his head snapped in a direction. There was a full-grown male deer. I smiled and got off of the Alpha. He whimpered and I shushed him.

I ran to the deer stand and grabbed a bow and arrow. I aimed at the deer’s head and whispered.

“I’m sorry...” The wolves all looked at me and Sean rubbed my back, while I shot the deer in the head and killed it. I looked at Sean sadly and he hugged me. I was always connected with animals. Yea, we need them for food. But it hurts to know that you’ve killed something so elegant, graceful, and beautiful.

So I was an animal lover. Sue me.

Once I calmed down a bit I got down from the deer stand and I saw the Alpha was looking worried.

I gave him a small smile and he came over to me. I sat down on the ground away from the deer stand and the Alpha came over and laid his head on my lap. I smiled and felt like he was trying to comfort me. He was rubbing his head on my stomach and my legs. I giggled at his behavior, and when I looked into his eyes, I felt happy. He was trying to be playful and comforting at the same time.

I leaned down and kissed his nose. He smiled and rubbed his nose against my neck. I laughed a bit cause it tickled. But mostly, I felt tingles and his whiskers were tickling my neck. I laughed and he rolled on top of me and started licking my face. I laughed once again cause I’ve never met an Alpha like him. He’s playful and relaxed.

Then again, I’ve never met and Alpha. I wonder if they're always like this.

I looked up to see my little sister running to the Beta. She laughed when he nudged his nose with her neck. She giggled and sat on the ground petting the Beta with tender touches, as if she thought he would break any second. She scratched his head and he closed his eyes and purred from pleasure.

I looked back at the Alpha and he had an emotion in his eyes. I just couldn’t tell what it was. I smiled down at him and started petting his back. He let out a breath and relaxed.

I frowned when I saw my dad carrying guns. He looked very intimidating and scary, but he was actually a softy like me, Sean, Destiny, and Layla-my little sister. When he saw me and the Alpha, he went wide-eyed, dropped the guns, and walked over to us.

“Wow. I’ve never seen one before.” He said and the Alpha lifted his head off of my lap and stood up straight. He was tall, and he definitely looked like an Alpha. He stood tall and he looked proud of his title. My dad stood up and went up to the Alpha.

He bowed his head once and the Alpha mimicked him, showing respect.

“I know. Isn’t he beautiful?” I got up and started petting him. I scratched behind his ear and he leaned into my touch. I smiled. I was in love with this animal. My dad looked around, and saw the Beta with Layla and Destiny with the third in command. While I think Sean was with a white, brown and black wolf that had a calming aura to her.

My dad looked at me and frowned. I knew we had to go.

“Dakota, Sean, Layla, and Destiny you all can come here tomorrow. We have to go home and cook dinner. Grab your buck and let's go.” My dad said in a sad tone and we all awed. The wolves whimpered and the Alpha stuck his head under my arm. I gave him a sad smile and kissed his nose again. He licked my cheek and I giggled. I looked over to Layla and she was laughing cause the Beta was licking her face. I looked over at Sean and he kissed the white wolves head. I saw Destiny hold onto the Gray wolf a little bit longer than usual. She kissed his head, and we started to go to the deer.

I was very upset when a wolf started to sniff it.

“Ah, ah,” I told it and it backed away slowly and looked down. I felt bad so I went to comfort it.

“Hey, you're not in trouble, this is just my deer,” I said with a smile and I played with its fur for a second. It smiled and when I took the arrow out, I saw a bunny.

“Forgive me, dear bunny,” I said and got my arrow and shot it. I went over to it and took the arrow out of the dead bunny. I decided to cut it up and give different pieces to different wolves. I gave one to a brown, the white-brown-and black, the Beta, The Gray, a black one, and I gave the rest to the Alpha.

He even licked my hands clean for me.

“Bye Alpha, see you tomorrow.” I kissed his head and ran to where my family and Destiny were waiting for me at the car with the dead deer. We put it in the truck and when I got inside, The wolves were racing us down the road.

When we were on the highway they stopped and went back.

“That was so cool! I think the Beta likes me!” My sixteen-year-old sister Layla said.

“Did you see the white, brown and black one? She was beautiful!” My brother Sean said.

“The Gray one was so playful!” Destiny squealed.

“The Alpha was gorgeous,” I said, remembering the colors of his fur and eyes.

“That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen, you never see the Beta, Alpha or third in command. You even get lucky if you see a glimpse of the Alpha.” My dad said and when we got to our house, we weighed the deer.
