Story: the lone wolf
Bismillah,
this story would be different from the others, as it will be from the wolf's pov.
sorry if it is too long, i had ideas
Prologue
When I was very small, I was abandoned.
Oh why? You must be wondering, I was different, it wasn't my fault. I was just white coated while my original pack had grey wolves.
What a dull colour. They had some stupid myths about a white wolf being bad luck because their generations were grey wolves, and whenever they met a white wolf they had bad luck.
It was coincidental.
my mum kept me until I moved to solids, then she took me by the scurf, far away from my pack's territory, and then turned away, never looking back.
I knew the way back, but I did not go back, They all treated me badly.
Don't worry, I am fine now, but I want to tell you my story.
______
"Are you Okay?" I woke up to someone asking me.
"Where am I?" I asked, looking around, the question was asked by a greyish white wolf.
"You are in pack Moonlight's territory, are you a spy?" A black wolf replied
"Huh?" I finally lifted my head, and saw myself surrounded with wolf of every colours, including white.
"I am not a spy" I replied,
"Everyone says that" The black wolf growled
"I am a lone wolf"
Everyone went quiet after that, then the greyish white wolf asked
"What's your name?"
"Pearl," I had named myself that, no one had to call me in my original pack, this name gave me meaning.
"Which pack?" He asked
"Grey" I replied
"I am guessing you were abandoned because of your white fur, that pack is superstitious" A female brown wolf came forward
"I am Frost, this is Alaska, my beta, and this is Ema, my wife" The black wolf explained, he was the alpha, the female brown wolf was Ema, and Alaska was they greyish white wolf. Betas are the Alpha's assistant, they help them do decisions and stuff.
I soon realized I was in a cave, these were the only wolves that actually helped me.
Frost ordered everyone to get out of the cave and let me rest, everyone flooded out.
What had actually happened? Let me tell you
A few Hours ago
Putting my nose to the ground, I sniffed the wet ground for some animal trail, no luck.
The thunder clouds were rolling up ahead, I needed to hunt something fast and go back to my small territory.
Sniffing, I got a strong smell.
Of a tiger.
There was a wolf territory nearby, tigers here come in groups of 4-5 and then kill wolves or the prey, in small wolf packs they take the territory.
This wolf pack didn't seem aware though, the way they were hunting, I observed after I climbed up in a low rock cliff.
My howls aren't that great, but I have to warn them, the only way is to give the emergency howl.
Lifting my head, I howled. The hunting pack looked up then backed away.
My ears perked up, in the hurry of saving those wolves, I forgot I was in danger.
The tigers were right behind me.
"You made us lose such a good catch" one of them said in a raspy voice, realizing I had sensed them.
"You will pay for it" The other growled.
oh help me
the hunting wolves were coming towards me to save me from the tigers, but the cliff was far away.
I turned back to only be meet by three striped tigers.
with one swipe of his paw, I was swiped of my feet Off my feet, one of the tigers jumped on me and threw me off the cliff, the same way my mum once threw me.
I tried to get up, but I was tired, bone-tired. I could see the wolves coming closer, one tried to shake me.
Tigers, hunting, mom, remembering all of them, I finally closed my eyes and closed out the world.
Now
I hadn't died, but I knew I had saved this pack by warning them and slowing down the tigers.
But right now I was hungry and thirsty. I tried to get up but to no avail, I felt a shooting pain in my shoulder and my front leg. Slumping back, I tried to get some peace.
A small wolf cub came in my cave, squealing, behind him was Alaska, carrying something.
"This is Roger, I am taking care of him recently... His parents died... He is naughty, keeps me busy" Alaska introduced the cub
I nodded
"You better eat and wash, their Is a small creak in our territory, i will take you their, you eat this" he pushed a small piece of meat and I ate it.
"Am I badly hurt?" I asked after eating, the meat tasted strange.
"Our pack doctor said it's just a small sprain, he added some powdered leaves in this meat, the leaves are some sort of medicine, you better rest, I will come in a little while" Alaska explained.
Placing my nuzzle between my front legs, I dosed a bit until I was woke up by a squeak.
It was Roger
"Hello" he greeted
"Hi, Roger" I answered, smiling, he was white coated.
"I saw you fighting with those tigers, you saved us pups' lives, you were very brave" pilo said in a childish voice, having some difficulty with the words
"Thank you Roger" I thanked him, it was the first time someone called me brave.
"Roger!" Alaska called out
"He is here!" I called back
"Oh Roger, you are going to get yourself hurt, he didn't annoy you right?" Alaska asked
"Oh no he did not, I feel better, can I drink some water now?" I asked
Alaska nodded, with little difficulty I heaved myself on my feet
Slightly limping, I followed Alaska to the creak and drank water, splashing a little, after drying my fur I looked clean and nice, Alaska took me to a bigger cave were some wolves were sitting
"We have done an emergency meeting of sorts" Alaska said to me
Going in, I saw frost who sat up, waiting for me.
I hope this is not bad news.
"You have showed incredible bravery, risking your life for us" Ema begun
"There are no suspicious of you being a Spy" Frost added
"Before we say anything, you must tell your story, what happened in your life, and why" Alaska ended
So I begun from the start, my original pack life, after I was abandoned life, how I survived and what happened
"I have been a lone wolf from one year, which means I am technically a young adult, to be honest I found this all difficult, as being in a pack is in our genes"
"I need to talk with Alaska, Ema and Oliver, you can go out and rest in your den" Frost said, I nodded.
I was greeted by some pups, who said the same things as Roger, a female light black wolf who was one of the pups' mother smiled at me and thanked me again
"Hello Pearl, I am Lisa, this is my pup Nima and this one is Bala, would you like to come to my den?"
"Oh... I erm" I was wondering what I was supposed to do.
"Oh wait! I will show you your den and introduce you to other wolves" Lisa exclaimed
"Umm why?" I asked
"Didn't they tell you? You are becoming a part of this wonderful pack!"
_________
I was accepted into the pack in this moon meeting. It was a very nice event.
But, as I have been alone for a full one year, its difficult for me to adjust in this social life.
Lisa and I became good friends, her den is near to me, Alaska is also there whenever I need him.
All the wolves in this pack have some work to do, Alaska is the Alpha's advisor and the pack hunt leader, Lisa and her friend Yara are pup carers, they care for the pups whenever the pack goes out hunting. A few wolves keep in watch.
Their is also a small wolf army, they are the strongest wolves who lead the wolves into a battle.
I had specifically no job, but I was looking into different stuff, I wasn't very good in pup sitting, nor I was a very good food storerer,
Oh, their are also some amazing places in this territory, a small creak, a food store (in this food store we save meat for difficult times, food storers manage it) There were also some plants grown for medicines, there was even an underground cave for hiding from storms or very dangerous fights.
"Pearl? Do you want to help me manage today's hunt, Maybe you will make a good pack hunt leader" Alaska asked me
"Oh, I don't know... I think I can help you guys find a hunt or something, I am good at finding food" I suggested
"Okay! You can do that, go to the hunting field then"
Jumping to the hunting field, I looked at the cliff from which the tiger had thrown me off. I sniffed around but to no avail, their wasn't a rabbit available
The grass here is the greenest, why isn't anything here I wondered
My hair stood on edge after I heard a growl, few black wolves creeped towards me out of the grass
"Oh no" I whispered to myself
If anyone saw me like this, they will think I am a spy or something, which I totally am not.
"Let's capture her and then tell the leader that unless they give us their food storage we will kill her" One of them whispered to the other.
"That's our food, you are not getting it" I growled and tried to run, but one them caught me and I let out a raspy howl. A few wolves, including Alaska came here running.
"Leave her alone of what will happen will not be good" Alaska growled to the one who was holding me.
"Back off Alaska! The rock pack never get out of their plan" The black wolf growled
One of our wolves ran away to tell frost.
The Rock pack was a very bad pack, they were mixed with tigers, and they were moonlight pack's biggest rivals, they often stole pups and wolves and threathened to kill them unless we gave them what they want us to give, and now I was that bait.
Frost came, followed by Ema.
"What is the matter Shadow?" He asked calmly, looking at me
"Give your food or else..." He placed his hand on my neck.
"Go away!" Ema shouted
"No dear, I won't" Shadow replied
if only I can bite his paw
I tried to get him off me, his grip loosened a bit and taking the chance I bit him as hard as I could, yelping, he jumped back and I ran back to my pack.
"You can go now" Alaska growled threathingly.
Shadow tried to come closer but now, most of our pack wolves had came and the all growled, hackles raised.
The Rock pack, seeing they were outnumbered, backed off and ran away.
"Dangers, Sigh, we need more safety, no going alone!" Frost told everyone the new rules in today's night meeting
"In hunting, half of the pack will go to hunt and half will stay, pups will stay in front of the dens, parents or pup sitters will stay with the pups. If you have to go anywhere, stay in groups of 3 to 4! If you sense anything wrong, EMERGENCY HOWL immediately or run away from there." Ema added
The meeting was always near the Alpha's cave, the cave was one a low cliff, on the cliff their was some remaining place to stand and that's where they would stand. The normal wolves who were listening would sit down.
"Food Storers, Yara and Mike, you will hide the door to food storage, try to go there less, the others packs cannot know where we are hiding it!"
The next few days, the food stores were hid very well, the pups were guarded, food was hunted secretly, the trap door was being prepared in case of a fight. All was going well for about a week, so the wolves slowly let their guard down.

"Roger! Pearl, have you seen him?" Alaska came, panting into my cave, breaking my peaceful nap.
I had been helping Alaska take care of him, but he never wondered far away when he heard the new pack rules.
"No! I left him with you, in your cave, he was sleeping with you" I replied. It was afternoon and everyone was napping.
"Roger? ROGER!" I shouted into the hot sun.
Alaska howled the emergency howl and everyone came to us.
"He is missing! Oh no, No No Not the rock Pack... Lisa! Yara! get all the pups in one den, all wolves get in groups of four and look everywhere! Our soldiers will line the territory, this could be a start of a fight" Frost ordered
Frost then went into the Zeta's den (Zetas are war generals, they lead the wolves and make plans for the fight) His name was Zaikai.
"Pearl, Me, Tiara and Blaise will go with me to look for Roger" Alaska said, we set out towards the hunting field.
"Guys! Psst, I smell something... Strange here" I told my group
"It smells... Different" Blaise said
"like a wolf but not from our pack" Alaska concluded.
I gulped and looked at Alaska, unspoken words lingered between all of us, it only meant one thing.
ROCK PACK
Roger wasn't found today, Frost called me and Alaska to his cave.
"We have to go there"
"What!" I exclaimed, I don't like those wolves, I can remember that black fur and yellow eyes too well. And the sharp claws on my neck.
"So... We can't let you go alone! You set the rules yourself, go nowhere unless you have three more wolves with you! I will go with you, Alaska can too, and well you choose it" Ema said to frost
"I can't go, I am training the fighter wolves, I am so sorry, I would have really loved to go-" Zaikai was cut off by frost
"No problem, go and train and prepare your fighter wolves, I was thinking of taking you Pearl" Frost told
"Me??" I exclaimed
"Yes, you are strong and brave, and you can be trusted, you sometimes come up with interesting ideas" Frost praised then stood up, went towards the entrance of the cave and said.
"Come with me, all three of you, we have to be as quick as we can" Frost said, a hint of urgency in his voice.
Soon we were out of our territory, out of the safety. The moon was slowly setting to its place, we won't reach their before dark.
After travelling a bit in the darkness, we soon reached a territory belonging the moon pack.
"I am Frost and these are my wolves, I wish to meet this pack's Alpha, Akela." Frost told a scared looking guard who we met at entrance. The guard nodded, turned away and came back, telling us to follow him.
We passed by a place lined with caves, we also had this sort of place but it was bigger and wider. In the front was a cliff with a cave much like Frost's. Except we had gaps leading to the other places in the territory. Where the heck do they hunt
We sat in front of the cave, a pair of green eyes shone and the wolf who owned them came out. Like the rest, he was black, but he had power radiating from him, not the good kind, but the bad kind.
It wasn't his green eyes, or the majestic black coat, or the power, but the way he looked down to us, like we were some sort of beggars coming here begging for food... but we had came here for our cub, but it didn't count as begging, or did it?
"Hello Frost, Alaska, Ema and?" Akela greeted, but not nicely.
"And Pearl" I said
"What brings you here?" Akela asks, laying down and raising his head, Frost did the same.
"How're the hunts..." Akela and Frost talked a bit like that and the rest is bah bah bah.
Ema was soon talking with the pack's female alpha and Alaska was talking with the pack's male beta (yes, his name is shadow, the same one who was using me) I was soon bored, but I saw that these people had normal lives. I think that the higher caste wolves, the ones who are in power are the bad ones... the normal ones are good.
How lucky I was to be met by the nice wolves, I lay down and look around. The voices were so comforting, I was feeling like I could sleep... No, we are in enemy's land...
"What are you trying to ask me!" Akela sprang up and growled to frost. Everyone looked at the two of them.
"I am saying I want my cub back!" Frost answered with equal ferocity
The calm, the talk, it was all gone. I sprang to my feet, Alaska stood besides me and Ema tried to stop them
I saw a wolf beckoning me near her, she had cubs around her so I went down the cliff slowly and stood at a safe width away from her
"I am Yara, I have Roger, take him away and please don't tell anyone I gave him to you, hide him in the bushes and then take him to your territory."
Yara looked Awfully Familiar, she seemed like the only white wolf in the whole pack, the way she talked and walked.
"But how? Okay I am hiding him" I took Roger in my mouth and then slowly hid him in some bushes and told him not to say a thing until I told him to.
"Our Cub Is Missing!" Frost said to Akela is a calmer voice, I went to Alaska and whispered
"I have got Roger, Don't say anything, just tell Frost to come!"
Alaska looked at me in shock and nodded, and said to Frost
"I think there is no use in asking them, come lets go back" Alaska told Frost, after some protesting, Frost sensed that something wasn't right and agreed to go back.
The guard took them outside and went back, I went to the bush and took Roger out of it.
"Pearl? How-" Frost tried to say something
"I will tell you once we reach the territory" I said, taking roger in my mouth.
