A Stranger to the Wilds

Chapter 2

"We released him in the wilds so he can learn but what is this?" Moblit questioned Hange who's currently giggling at the monitors.

The entire rainforest was under protection, each corner had cameras to prevent hunters or illegal loggers from sneaking in. And it helped not only for security but also for the scientists.
"Aren't we going to do something about this?" Moblit asked again.

The screen focused on Levi, the black wolf was making himself comfortable in his nest made out of leaves after waking up and now eating the pile of berries next to him that was offered by the brown wolf. Now, the brown wolf was off again to get more.

"No, let's just wait and see~" Hange giggled.

She expected that this would happen. Omegas were highly dependent on higher dynamics, more like they tend to put those high dynamics to kneel on their paws. Levi was at the right age for breeding, the other wolf could sense it and jump right in for courting.

On the monitor, they could see Levi perked up with alarm. A huge bear was staring at him behind the dense brushes. Levi's instincts told him that there was something but he remained laying on his nest. When the bear made a step, the raven wolf howled on his spot. Instantly, the brown wolf came and chased the bear off before going back to Levi.

Before they release Levi to the wilds, they performed test runs to make sure that the raven wolf could survive in the wild on his own. He did well on the tests, though he rather eat berries than hunt for small animals, on the bright side, Levi could identify if the berries were poisonous or not. Even with or without the help of the brown wolf, Levi could survive on his own before he finds a potential mate to depend on or to order around. And it seems like he found one already, saving Hange from her worries.

"Oh! Moby, did you see that?! That Alpha wolf is bending on his wishes already!"

"I think.... this is okay... I guess..." Moblit rubbed his face.
He knew the Alpha wolf, the lab had all the data of the animals in the sanctuary to keep everything in check.

The brown wolf was named "Eren". Eren was considered alone and a pack wolf, he's usually found all by himself, and sometimes he's with his pack. Since he's an Alpha, it's normal to be both alone and a pack wolf. Once he found a mate, he would either let his mate join his pack or he'll make his own.

Hange took the folder next to her and flip through the pages until he found the raven wolf's calendar. It predicted Levi's heat cycle every month. Her hand tranced through the dates and a creepy smile slowly appeared on her face. "In two weeks, Levi will be expecting puppies!

"How can you be sure that Levi will let that wolf mount him?"

"See for yourself," Hange pointed at the second monitor on the right.

Eren was standing tall and proud for protecting the Omega while Levi was bumping his nose on the other wolf as a thank you.
"This is going to be good~"

Not bad. I couldn't help but nuzzle on this cute walking brownie. I mean Eren, this brown wolf. He's so sweet like a brownie and the color of his coat was almost identical to the colors of the desert.

He provided me with everything, food, water, a nest, and protection. And grooming, that's my personal favorite.

The Alpha sure knew how to groom and surprisingly he met my standards. What am I still looking for? I have this perfect mate material right in front of me. Still, I'm not stupid, how could I be sure that this Alpha was only doing all this because he wanted to mount me?

We'll see about that.

After the bear incident, he encouraged me to follow him, of course, I played hard to get. I expected that he'll force me or show his dominance but instead, he rolled over and showed his belly in front of me, whining and begging for me to trust him. The sight made me feel so powerful, then I give in. He was practically hopping around before he licked my face.

We made it to a clearing, a field full of yellow flowers. Eren circled playfully around me, without a word I dash away to test his speed, he so up with the challenge and chased after me. I hopped on a patch full of dandelions, I heard him sneeze afterward, it was so satisfying and funny. I howled in delight as we continued down the fields.

Eren really knew where to take me, I found the field clean, well, not that clean but it was much better than that god-forsaken rainforest.

Eren was still chasing after me, I thought I could win this game until I accidentally startled some birds and they came out of their hiding place. I tried to avoid them but I end up tripping on my feet again.

Damn it!

I cursed my feet, though I take it back when I quickly recovered my stance. On the dark side, I found myself being pinned on the ground with a stupid Alpha licking my face.

I growled at him and wiggled myself free. He must have thought I was upset because he looked like I kicked him on his privates.
As much as I want to tease him to death, I couldn't help but had a soft spot for him. This time, I was the one who circled around him, encouraging him to play chase again. He instantly hopped around like a brat he was.

He was nice enough to give me a head start which was his mistake. I used to run around the facility but I tend to knock things off during my runs, so quick turns were my strength but uneven grounds were not!

I tried to confuse him with my quick turns, which was very effective. Eren threw himself on a patch of fuzzy bushes. I waited for him to recover before darting away from him.

If I didn't keep tripping on my damn feet, Eren would never catch me. I glanced back at him only to see him standing and sniffing the air. What now? I just rolled my eyes but I stopped running and watched him. Eren locked eyes with me before he barked at me to run away.

Oh, I saw it. There was a human at the distance. Eren might have thought that those humans were bad and wanted me to run away. Hehe, let's see his reaction when I try to get close to them.

Instead of doing what Eren wanted me to do, I padded my way toward the human. Eren immediately blocked my way and growled at the human. This Alpha was over-reacting, this reserve was under protection-

The sound of a gunshot sliced through the air. I stood there trembling with wide eyes as the brown wolf in front of me fell to the ground. Eren whined in pain but kept telling me to run away.

Looking up, I saw the human standing on his spot and aiming his gun at me.
