Seth couldn't see or hear anything and all he could smell was the metallic scent of his own blood pooling on the forest floor around him. The bear had wounded him greatly and there was a really good chance he was going to die out here all alone. He didn't know how he had managed to miss the huge bear but he had somehow wandered right into it's path, he had barely had time to shift into his wolf form before the bear had taken a swipe at him with his huge deadly paw. The fight had been fast but Seth had taken a lot of damage before managing to wound the bear enough for it to go loping off farther into the woods and now Seth was lying on his back with his side torn open and bleeding heavily. He could feel himself getting weaker as the blood poured out of him and he couldn't shift back into his wolf form. Shifters could heal themselves if they were able to shift and run but Seth was so weak and drained that he couldn't manage the change. His last conscious thoughts were of his parents and how sad he was that he wouldn't be able to see them again when he felt himself falling into blackness.

Seth felt cold as he regained consciousness, but he was too tired to even try opening his eyes. He could only smell trace amounts of blood now and he could smell the forest again but he could also smell two distinct wolf scents, one of an alpha and the other, an omega. He could feel the hardness of the ground beneath him but he could also feel that he was naked and covered in a warm blanket.

"I know you're awake little alpha." A deep male voice greeted him. "You need to shift."

"'m not little." he mumbled, trying to move.

The deep voice laughed softly. "I know but I'm bigger and I don't know your name so that's all I can call you. Now shift and run with me."

Seth heard the tell-tale sounds of the man shifting forms and he opened his eyes and looked around. When he finally saw the other alpha he had already finished the change and there was a huge beautiful black wolf staring at him with mesmerizing silver eyes. The wolf leaned over Seth's face and licked his cheek and the surprise of it kicked his body into action and he slowly started to shift. Being back in his wolf form he felt better but he was still weak and he got to his feet with trembling legs like a newborn pup standing for the first time. The black wolf stood at his side and gently steadied him until he was fully standing.

He started walking slowly, the pain in his side making him want to just fall down but he could feel the encouragement of the black wolf behind him and he started to trot. The more he moved, the more he healed and he was finally able to run and the black wolf stayed beside or behind him watching over him. As he picked up speed he could feel his broken ribs knitting together and the deep gashes and gouges starting to heal. He felt less and less like falling and he could run freely now.

He glanced at the black wolf next to him and smiled like only a wolf can, by letting his tongue hang out of his mouth in a goofy way and the other wolf did the same. They ran until he felt he was totally healed and he finally stopped and shifted back to human. He kneeled on the ground, bracing his body up on his arms as the exhaustion took him over. Running could heal, but it didn't put all the blood he had lost back in his body so he was still weak. He wanted to look around for the black wolf but before he could raise his head he saw a pair of large human feet standing in front of him.

Seth raised his head slowly and looked at the formerly black wolf-turned alpha standing in front of him. His legs were long, muscular and smooth leading up to a very large and tempting cock (which Seth looked at for a few seconds longer than he should have), a thick, defined abdomen and a large, muscular chest and arms, one of which had a long tattoo running down. When Seth's eyes finally made it all the way up to his face, he had to fight back a gasp. The alpha was so beautiful, his smooth tan skin stretching over a chiseled face that wasn't harshly masculine or femininely pretty but a fine mixture of the two with a sexy dusting of facial hair. His grey eyes were what drew Seth's attention the most though, so bright and kind, framed by the alpha's long black hair. The alpha was huge and Seth understood why he had called him 'little alpha'.

Seth tried to get to his feet but dizziness was creeping up on him and the last thing he felt before he fell was the alpha's big strong arms catching him.

*Well that's the beginning of a new story. I hope you all are not tired of shifters yet!
