Alpha and Omega: The Outcast

Armstrong's POV

Today was the day, the day I was going to marry Candu. I had been waiting for this occasion my whole life, I was finally going to be together with the one I loved without any ridicule what so ever from anyone, everyone, in this pack at least, was okay with Candu and I getting married, heck most of them were congratulating me and Candu everyone except Gail. Gail remained so quiet after I got Winston to get her to join, occasionally she would have a short discussion with me but when Candu showed up she would immediately walk away. I've been trying to get her off my case and get her to try and meet other people but she refused, although Salty seems to have taken a liking to her, seeing how he follows her around like a lost pup, which I found kinda funny. She at least was able to get a den for herself, unfortunately about 5 minutes away from Candu and mines den. But Gail wasn't the thing I was thinking about at the moment, my thoughts were more focused on getting married to Candu today.

I woke up being cuddled in Candu's chest with his strong arms around me and holding me close to his chest as my arms were wrapped his back. I smiled warmly at my mate as he continued to sleep peacefully and with a big smile on his face. I chuckled quietly to myself before giving him a kiss on his cheek and sneaking out of his grasp. Once out of it I stretched out and yawned, only to have arms wrap around me again with a startle.

"Morning baby"

I turned around and saw Candu with his eye's half opened.

"Morning honey, did you sleep nicely?" I asked

"Yeah, I was dreaming about us...after our marriage...are you ready?"

"Defiantly! Just a little nervous"

"Really? Your ears not twitching"

"I know, I've been working on my self control"

Candu got up and whined before going over and nibbling on my ear.

"Awww! But I loved that ear because it twitched, it was so cute" Candu whined

"I didn't everyone laughed at it"

"Because it was so cute!" Candu insisted as he continued to nibble on my ear

"No it wasn't it was embarrassing, every time I would get embarrassed or nervous my stupid ear would twitch...so I started to try and get rid of it" I huffed pulling away from Candu and his nibbling

"Well I guess I'm going to have to fix that"

With that Candu went to my neck and nipped at it

"What are you doing?" I asked, I quickly got my answer when my ear started to twitch again

"Damn it!" I yelled covering it up

"There we go" Candu said as he started to nibble and tug at the twitching ear like a pup would a bone

I just stood there with an bored expression on my face as Candu nipped and tugged at my ear.

"Have I ever told you how much I love this ear?"

"Yes honey, you have, many times" I answered

"Well I love it a lot" Candu said as he continued to nibble at my ear, which stopped twitching along time ago

"Okay honey I think that's enough" I said pulling my ear away

"Fine...are you ready, it's only a few hours before our wedding?" Candu asked changing the subject

"Yeah I am, as long as I get to marry you" I said nuzzling his chin

"I wouldn't have it any other way" Candu said nuzzling me back.

"OH ARMSTRONG!" someone called out

"Crap"

"Who's that?"

"It's Kate and Lilly they insist on getting me ready for the wedding"

"ARMSTRONG YOU UP?"

"So what's the matter? They are your friends"

"Yes, but I wanted to spend time with you before our wedding, just you and me" I said staying under his chin

"I want to as well, but...this is just to good of a chance"

"What do you mean?" I asked before the answer hit me

"Candu I swear if you..."

"LILLY, KATE, ARMSTRONG'S IN HERE" he yelled

"CANDU shut up I don't want to..."

"Hey Armstrong"

"Hi Lilly, Hey Kate what are you two doing here?"

"Don't tell me you forgot"

"Forgot what?"

"You said we could get you ready for the wedding"

"I did?"

"Yes...you did" Candu said grinning at me

"See Candu remembers, now come on we only have a few hours until the wedding to get you ready" Lilly said as she and Kate started to pull me out of the den

I turned towards Candu as the two wolves dragged me out of our cave, mouthing the words 'Your going to pay for this,' Candu chuckled and waved a goodbye to me.

"Bye Armstrong...see you at the wedding" he laughed before I was pulled out of sight

Candu's POV

I stood there watching Armstrong being dragged out of sight, smiling to myself as I admired all the reasons I fell in love with him, his smile, his caring attitude, the way he sometimes acts like a pup, everything. There wasn't a thing that I didn't absolutely love about him, and now I was going to be mates with him, the one I loved. I couldn't wait! Only a few hours until I'm going to have my soul mate! I was practically jumping out of my skin.

Deciding I should distract myself, I went outside of the cave and started to walk around, getting congratulations from everyone I passed, and enjoying the beautiful day, until I bumped into two certain wolves.

I was looking up at the sky, watching the clouds and looking for any signs of a storm, when I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking and accidently bumped into someone.

"Oh...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..." I said but stopped when I saw who I bumped into.

When I looked up I saw that both Claw and Scar were standing above me, both glaring at me.

"Watch were your going shorty!" Scar growled

"C-Claw...S-Scar..." I stuttered, getting a little frightened, every time I ran into these two I would always get hurt.

"What? Spill it shorty!" Claw growled

"Nothing! I'm sorry for bumping into you"

Both rolled there eyes before walking past me, I felt a chill go down my spine as they passed, but as they were about to leave they stopped.

"Hey...Candu?" Scar spoke up

"Yeah?" I asked turning around

"...Congratulations" Claw finished before they both disagreed into the brush.

I stood there, in shock, they didn't hurt me for once! They actually were nice, for once. Maybe now we could actually try to get along!

"Hey Candu!"

I turned my attention to the sound of the voice and found Leon and Hutch walking up to me.

"Hi guys! What's up?" I asked growing a smile

"Nothing much, just my brothers wedding! Are you excited?" Leon asked

"You kidding me? I'm practically jumping out of my skin! I've been waiting for this day sense I met Armstrong" I answered with a big smile

"Good, you two deserve to be together, especially after all that you've been through together" Hutch said

It's true Armstrong and I have been through so much together in the past few months that we've known each other, the good...and the bad.

"Thanks you guys, it feels good to have everyones support on this" I thanked

"Just promise me you'll take care of my little brother, would you?" Leon asked, why did he sound sad?

"I promise, I won't let anything bad happen to him...not after last time" I said as I recalled the time that Armstrong was shot, which I sometimes have nightmares about.

"Thank you, it's good to know that he'll be in good hands..." Leon said, why was he sad?

"Hey honey can you leave me and Candu to talk alone?" Leon asked, turning to Hutch

"Yeah, I'll go check on the banquet plans, see you after your done baby" Hutch answered, he kissed Leon on the cheek before running off.

"So Leon what did you want to talk about?" I asked

"Candu...I'm leaving"

I stood there in shock, Leon was leaving! Why? He had friends, family, and not to mention Hutch here, why would he want to leave?

"What...?" I asked

"I have to leave...it's about time I went back" Leon answered avoiding my gaze

"But why?"

"I've been here to long...I don't want to go...but I have to. I was only supposed to come here and bring Armstrong back as fast as possible, not stay and live here, my parents didn't even know I left and now I have to go"

"But what about Armstrong? What about Hutch? Are you just going to leave them?" I asked

"I wish I didn't have to leave them, especially Hutch, but I have to, for my pack and family, thats why I asked you if you would protect Armstrong. I needed to know he was in safe hands" Leon answered, tearing up a little

"AND HUTCH? DID YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW HE WOULD REACT?" I yelled

"I'm going to tell him, I'm not leaving until after the wedding, so I'll tell him then"

"But still, Hutch is going to be heartbroken, I've never seen him as happy as he is with you"

"I know, but I'm planning on coming back. I just need to tell my pack that Armstrong is okay, they must be worried"

"Have you told Armstrong?"

"No, I'm going to tell him at the same time as Hutch, I've already told everyone else and said my goodbyes, I made them promise not to tell Armstrong or Hutch, you have to promise not to tell them, I have to do it" Leon answered

"Okay I promise"

"Thank you Candu, just take care of my little brother okay?" Leon asked bringing me into a hug

"I will, I swear I'll never let anything bad happen to him"

"Thanks...and congratulations" Leon said with a slight smile, as he separated the hug

"I've got to go and find Hutch now, see you later Candu" Leon said as he walked away

Leon is leaving! I can't imagine how Armstrong's going to react, Leon was his brother, even though they fight they are still as close as brothers can be and now he's leaving, I'll have to be there when he tells them. Also, even though I started out not liking Leon I felt like he was apart of the family, and I'm going to miss him. But I have to put that aside, I have to be there to comfort Armstrong, and of course, Hutch.

Armstrong's POV

"I think that's enough Kate" I protested

"Just let me get that last hair" Kate said as she chased me around the outside of Winston's den

"NO, anymore and I'll lose all my fur!" I yelled, this is why I didn't want to have these two prepare me for the wedding

"Just sit still, we're almost done!" Lilly pleaded

Kate was an Alpha so eventually she pounced on top of me and pinned me down, letting Lilly get the hair sticking out of my head, causing me to yelp

"If you weren't such a baby, this would have been easier" Kate said getting off of me

"I am not a baby, that stuff hurts" I whined

"That's why your a baby" Lilly insisted as she and Kate started to laugh

"Ah whatever" I said turning my attention to the ground below.

I stared at the place where Candu and I where supposed to get married, there was a rock in the middle of a gorge and the rock was where we were supposed to do all of the pack traditions in order to become mates, which I had memorized, although it wasn't a problem with Shakey teaching me.

"You nervous?" Kate asked

"A bit, yeah" I answered, with a gulp

"It's not as bad as it looks Armstrong" Kate assured

"Yeah, once your up there you forget about everything else, all that matters is the person your going to marry" Lilly assured

"Really?"

"Yup, once your up there you'll just remember all of the good times that you and Candu had, then it'll be as if no one else is there" Kate answered

"Thanks guys, I needed that" I said with a smile

"It's time"

I turned to see Leon standing there with a smile on his face

"You look good" he complemented

"Thanks brother"

Kate and Lilly did a good job, my fur was combed down nice and neat, I was bathed and, now that I was dry, my fur was practically sparkling, all of the sticking out hairs where plucked out, and my claws were nice and clean, basically I looked like one of those dogs in a human dog show.

"Your welcome, if only Mom and Dad were here to see you"

I sighed, I truly did wish that they were, but I knew how Dad felt about me and being gay, he defiantly wouldn't show up at my wedding, sense I marrying another male, and I'm not even sure about Mom, she might be okay with it, but I will, unfortunately, probably never find out if she does,

"Me two, me two...Let's go I don't want to keep Candu waiting" I said, and with that I went down the road to the aisle, followed by my brother, Kate and Lilly.

At the Wedding

Once we arrived there was utter silence as I walked the path to the big rock, there were wolves on both ends watching as I walked up from one end and Candu walked up from the other end, with a huge smile on his face, I recognized everyone here, except I was surprised to see Claw and Scar watching us, but that was a matter for another time. Even Gail was here, although she didn't look that happy and kept glaring at Candu. But right now all of that stuff didn't matter, I was going to get married to the one I love.

Candu and I continued to walk up until we were both standing in front of each other.

"Ready?" Candu asked

"Ready as I'll ever be"

"Do you want to start or shall I?"

"Let's do it together"

"Okay" Candu said with a smile

We both leaned in and started to sniff at the others neck, the first tradition was to accept the others scent and memorize it, after that we went up and nibbled on the others ear, which Candu seemed to eager to do sense it was my left ear that he got to nibble. As we went through the rest of the traditions I started to remember all of the good things that happened to us.

When we first met at Winston's cave, I tripped and Candu caught me. The time Claw and Scar were picking on him so I rescued him and we hugged, that same day he and Hutch fought over me and told me that he loves me. Then all those months that I spent with him until Leon came and we howled together at the Midnight Howl and had our first kiss. All those times he slept with me, the annoying, yet funny, times he would nibble on my ear and deliberately make it twitch. Then there was the accident with the poachers, Candu didn't give up on me and took me to the ranger station to get me better, and after the whole incident Candu and I met up in my den and the way he reacted told me that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

I thought of those amazing times the whole time as we went threw the traditions one by one, until we reached the last one. The touching of the noses, to show that we were mates. My heart sped up like no other as we leaned in, I looked into his eye's and he did mine, I stared into the perfect yellow orbs and saw that he really cared for and loved me. We both closed our eye's at the same time as our noses touched and, I swear, my heart stopped as we touched. I could hear everyone yelling an cheering as we finished the ritual.

I opened my eyes and saw that Candu opened his as well, the whole time our noses still touching.

"I love you" he said

"I love you to Candu" I said back.

With that we leaned closer and connected our lips in a passionate kiss. Although it wasn't apart of the ritual but it still felt special. As we departed I nuzzled his chest and he nuzzled back

"No matter what happens...?" Candu asked

"Always and forever" I answered, feeling truly complete.

Candu's POV

After the ritual Leon and Hutch had a huge banquet, full of meat that both of them caught themselves. Armstrong sat next to me, with his head under my chin, as we ate and talked with our friends, receiving congratulations from everyone. Except that Gail girl, she seemed like she wanted to come up but something was keeping away. But she eventually walked up to Armstrong and I.

"Hey guys, congratulations on getting married"

"Thanks Gail...Hey I hope this doesn't affect our friendship, I would still like to be friends if that's okay with you?" Armstrong asked

"Sure Armstrong, I'd like that" Gail said with a smile

"Thanks Gail" Armstrong said back, returning the smile

"Well I got to get going Armstrong, bye" Gail said hugging Armstrong

"Okay, bye Gail" Armstrong retorted, returning the hug

"Bye Gail" I said

Without a word she huffed at me and left.

"Rude much?" I asked

"Don't mind her, she's just jealous that I'm not with her" Armstrong answered

"Well I am, and I'm not regretting it" I said nuzzling my mate

"Neither am I" Armstrong retorted nuzzling me back

Everything was perfect, it was the perfect day and it should have stayed like that. That is until Leon walked up with Hutch, I already knew what was going to happen and I wasn't going to enjoy it.

"Hey Armstrong, Candu can we talk?" Leon asked

"Sure Leon, what about?" Armstrong asked

"In private, can we go somewhere else?"

"Sure"

Armstrong got out from under me and we followed Hutch and Leon towards the stream.

The whole time I was thinking about how these two would react. However they did it wasn't going to be pretty bad. I could feel it.

Once we were at the stream Leon stopped and turned to us with tears in his eye's.

"Baby why are you crying?" Hutch asked licking his tears away

"Leon what's the matter? I hardly ever see you cry" Armstrong asked

I didn't have to say anything I already knew what his answer was going to be. So I prepared for the worse.

"Armstrong...Hutch...there's no easy way of saying this...I have to leave."

Hutch's POV

"...I have to leave"

There was nothing, not even a gasp as Leon, my love, told me he was going to leave.

"Y-Your kidding...right?" I asked

Leon shook his head and Armstrong ran up and tackled him to the ground

"WHY? WHY ARE YOU LEAVING?" he asked

"Armstrong...I was supposed to leave a long time ago, I was just supposed to bring you back, then I met Hutch and I stayed for a little while, but now I have to leave, Mom and Dad are going to be worried about me, about us" Leon explained

I walked up and drew Leon into a hug.

"Please Leon, please don't go...I don't know what I'll do without you" I pleaded, as I cried into his chest

"I'm sorry Hutch...I'm going to come back, I promise...I just need to go back to my pack for a while, I promise I'll come back...to see you and Armstrong"

"Can't you stay? Like Armstrong? Just stay here with me, we'll get married and live together" I asked

"My parents don't even know I'm gone, I have to go back" Leon answered as he wrapped his arms around me

"But I need you, your my life now Leon, I love you!" I pleaded

"I love you to Hutch, but I have to go, before it becomes to painful" Leon said as he got up and turned around

"LEON DON'T PLEASE!" I pleaded, not letting Leon go

Leon turned and looked at me, before kissing me passionately, both of us were crying and letting their tears run freely from our cheeks down to the others fur, wee did this for a few minutes before pulling apart and staring deeply into the other's eye's.

"I promise I'll come back Hutch, just wait for me, please, I swear if it takes me the rest of my life I'll come back for you, will you wait for me?" Leon asked

"I will, until I die, if I have to wait the rest of my life for you, I will" I answered letting Leon go

"Armstrong I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer, I would like to now how you and Candu's marriage goes" Leon said hugging his younger brother

"I'll miss you Leon" Armstrong cried

"I'll miss you to little brother" Leon cried before turning to me

"Candu take care of him" Leon said and Candu nodded back

Leon turned around and started to walk away until I ran after him and gave him another kiss and whispering 'I'll always love you' to him before we broke apart and Leon said goodbye one last time, before walking off. I immediately burst out into tears as I watched Leon walk away, Armstrong and Candu walked up and tried to comfort me but I just watched Leon walk off into the distance.

In the distance we saw Leon turn around and he began to howl towards us. I howled back immediately, Armstrong and Candu joined in a minute later. The howl didn't last long before Leon disappeared into the distance. Leaving us alone.

Candu's POV

Armstrong and I walked Hutch back to our den and laid him next to us, he cried a while before he passed out, sniffling and whispering Leon's name. Armstrong and I exchanged looks before he put his head under my chin and told each other good night.

"Goodnight Candu, I love you" Armstrong said from under me

"Night Armstrong, I love you to" I said back before we both fell asleep

Even thought we were mourning Leon's leaving, we both still loved each other and now that I was mated to Armstrong, I couldn't be happier. I wanted this sense I first hugged him, we've been through so much together and now we get to spend the rest of our lives together, as mates.

I'm sorry it took me so long to finish the last chapter, but I had some technically difficulties but now there fixed and I was able to update. As for the ending, don't worry Leon is going to come back in the sequel and a few other new O/C's. I'll get started on the the sequel as soon as I can, I just need to brainstorm for idea's about the sequel.

So, As I always say, Until Next Time
