The Pack

Ever since humans almost went extinct due to their own greed the world was at a standstill of sorts. It was like humanity had to restart. There were villages here and there living in repaired ruins of old buildings. Werewolves had been chased into hiding decades before the destruction of mankind. That was their save and grace at the time, with only minor loss compared to humans. But the hatred for the mythical still rang strong among the humans that were left.

After a brief try from the werewolves to return to society there were massacres. Humans, still, were not ready and the older wolves feared they never will be. The great wolves had decided it was best to stay in areas where humans did not go, where the fauna and flora had reclaimed what was rightfully theirs.

Wolves from all corners and packs join together for the one night a year where they are allowed to mingle. It's the perfect time to make new allies, friends, enemies and find one's mate. You meet the new upcoming Alpha's and Beta's. You even meet Omegas. All are welcome to reach adulthood.

"Oh don't you dare look back.

Just keep your eyes on me."

I said, "You're holding back,"

She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,

Shut up and dance with me."

Bruce rolled his eyes as he watched his best friend make a fool of herself. She was singing at the top of her lungs as she strutted around. It looked weird doing this while she was in her wolf form.

"We were victims of the night,

The chemical, physical, kryptonite

Helpless to the bass and the fading light

Oh, we were bound to get together,

Bound to get together."

Diana kept singing as she wiggled her backside and moved her tail in a circle motion. The pups around them were laughing and trying to move with her.

"She took my arm,

I don't know how it happened.

We took the floor and she said,

"Oh, don't you dare look back.

Just keep your eyes on me."

I said, "You're holding back,"

She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,

Shut up and dance with me."

Bruce had to admit, the she wolf knew how to move her paws. They seemed to glide in a weird moon walking way, but she stayed in one place, the humans called it 'shuffling' he thinks.

"Diana, that is enough!" Came a growling scowl, making the she wolf yelp and curl into herself. Her ears were pulled back as she looked up to the packs Beta.

"Relax Hank, she's doing what Omegas do best, keeping the kids entertained!" Their Alpha walks past the grumpy brown wolf. Diana relaxed a little and uncurled slowly, her tail wagging slightly.

"Sorry, I was just trying a few things out, I mean I can do it perfectly well in human form and I just wanted to see if I could do it as a wolf. I mean if we're going to spend most of our lives as wolves, might as well make the most of it," Diana started to explain as her ears flopped over at the tips. Their leader only chuckled.

"Keep being yourself Diana, you make a fine Omega," he smiles down to her and she smiles brightly, her tail wagging excitedly. She watched their two superiors walk to the hunters and she plops her butt down onto the ground.

"You're lucky the Alpha was here, Hank would have probably punished you, you know how he feels about humans and human things," Bruce says as he keeps an eye on the pups.

"I don't get it, he's part human too!" Diana whines, her ears pulling back slightly.

"Humans hunted his wife remember?" Bruce whispers and Diana's ears drop.

"I know, we were pups back then, he was scary, even back then," she whines. They watched the pups play for a while longer.

"Are you excited for tonight?" Bruce asks and Diana looks to the sandy brown behemoth of a wolf.

"Howl Fest? Hells yea! I've been practicing my howl since I was a pup!" Diana barked, but before she could show off her howl Bruce draped his paw over her snout, shutting her up. She looked to him from the side and he scowled at her.

"Do you want Hank to tear your throat out? You'll start a howling!" He scolds and she smiles bashfully as her tail wagged sheepishly to her side.

"You know whose going to be there right?" He smirked and watched Diana's fur puff up.

"Yea, that's why I've been training so much," she whispers as her tail curls around herself and she paws at it to flatten a few errant hairs. He smiles to her and turns his eyes back to the pups.

"Hey! Jack, stop that!" He barks and goes to stop the boy from tugging at his sister's tail. Diana giggles and joins in some fun with the rest of the pups.

She didn't want to think about the nights festivities too much as it would just give her anxiety that she does not need right now.

She needed to make sure the pups were fed and bathed, then settled for sleep and then make sure the younger Omega's she were training knew what to do while they were all away.

An Omega's job was important after all, when the big bad wolves were away they were the ones to make sure everyone is save and happy. Yes, there were some other Beta's there to be more of the muscle of the pack and they kept an eye on the perimeters. They were only a howl away if something was wrong.

Diana softly reminds herself that she needs to bathe herself as well before they go, a wolf should never arrive frazzled to a big event like Howl Fest, not if she wants to wow everyone and maybe catch the eye of someone else.
