Alphas

Megan took the rifle and loaded a dart. She had already figured out where her shot was so she just walked to it, aimed and fired. The dart went into its hindquarter and it almost fell from the surprise. Three minutes later the cat was feeling the effects of the drug and decided to climb to a higher limb but fell.

I do not know if Norm was trying to catch it or if it just fell on him but both were soon on the ground. The cat got up and tried to run through the crowd but I confronted it and the cat stopped, lay down and went to sleep.

Megan was screaming for people to call 911, Norm was hurt. On its way down the cat had used its claws to slow down its fall. Norm had deep gashes on his arms and chest and he was bleeding severely.

One guy, a Lycan I had seen in my yard, said that Norm would likely bleed to death before an ambulance got there and had four guys put him on the back of a pick up and took off, I saw the Lycan on the back with Norm turn into a wolf. I felt that the guy driving was not exactly human but was not a Lycan.

Megan said she would follow them and I was to get the cat in the cage and take her to the office. To be careful with her, the cat was pregnant too. I lifted the cat and put her in the cage then collected our stuff

When I got to the office I took the cat to a holding cage then went to Sam's office. He was the station chief. Sam told me Norm was in surgery and that Megan would stay until he came out. The Lycan that ministered to him and kept him from bleeding to death was there with her.

An hour later Megan called and said, "Serious but stable condition, the doctor said. I am going to the office and check on the cat. See you soon."

After she returned Megan was giggling when she told us the story of the waiting room. "The guy that licked Norm's wounds is in love with Norm and they had gotten together on occasion. But Norm has many suitors including a Sasquatch. He was the guy driving the truck."

She surprised us when she said Norm knew what both guys were. The Sasquatch was saddened by the fact that the wolf had won the competition for him but was glad he was there to save Norm's life.

"Herb, the wolf, said it was unlikely Norm would remember he had been there. Harry, the Sasquatch, had assumed that licking the wounds would turn the tables for him.

I mentioned that Norm was going to need someone to take care of him for a while and asked them if either had a house big enough to accommodate him. The Sasquatch said he lived alone in a three-bedroom home by the lake. Herb said he had a one-bedroom apartment.

I gave Harry a look that he accepted then asked Herb to live with him and share the duties of caring for Norm. That was when the doctor came out to tell me his condition.

When I left the hospital I heard Harry say to Herb, "Lets get your stuff."

I commented, "Gay werewolf, gay Sasquatch?"

Megan laughed and said, "Yes, most mammals have gay individuals, dolphins have more than a few. Lets see how the cat is doing."

The cat was still a bit groggy but was calm. Megan talked to it with a soft voice and gave the cat a treat with her own hand. The cat smelled her hand and backed away. Megan continued holding out the treat and the cat returned to her and took the treat. Megan kept her hand through the bars and continued talking to her. She talked about pregnancies and sympathized that in her world there were no good husbands and fathers. She introduced me as the guy that rescued her from the crowd. I put my hand through the bars; she smelled it then licked it. The cat then lay down with her head on Megan's hand. Megan scratched her between the ears then stood and said, "I have to check my gear," and left. I stayed and talked to the cat another five minutes, gave her a cat treat then went to Megan's office.

She said, "The area supervisor is coming over to debrief us and pick up our report. I got one form out for you. We are supposed to be in separate rooms when we do this by the way.

He is human but a nice guy. He really likes Norm and is upset he got hurt so he wants to be sure we followed procedure. He is going to be upset when he reads that Norm tried to catch the cat."

"Will he be in trouble?"

"He will get yelled at but he will be back to work as soon as he can."

"You need a partner?"

"Well, now that I think about, yeah."

"I will talk to the boss."

Megan hated having me for a partner. I knew she could handle anything but I still felt I had to protect her and got in her way often.

I did learn I had a very useful ability. Without changing into a wolf I managed to smell like a displeased wolf on command and since was standing on two legs and was pretty big anyway the creatures all pretty much stopped when I confronted them. The creatures could see I had a human body but just knew I was a gigantic wolf and needed to behave.

I convinced a bull moose to get in the cage too.

By the time Norm returned to work Megan was too pregnant to work in the field so I became his partner. The first thing he said to me was, "You are a wolf too I take it. I have some enhanced senses but I am not a wolf. I can sense when my partners are sneaking up on me but I am not fast enough to fend them off, especially when they are in their alternate form."

"So, you are still living with them?"

"Yes, we have an unholy but very satisfactory alliance."

"Oh, Megan is going to enjoy hearing that. Can you change forms?"

"Sort of, I look more like the wolfman in the movies than a wolf but the three of us love to run in the forest in our alternate forms. I have enough speed to keep up with them. We scare the crap out of deer when we surprise them," he laughed.

"Lets see if your new scent helps us get everyone to follow orders."

It was three days before we got a call about a bear up a tree. We saw it was a cub so we looked around for its mother. She was in the ditch next to the road, dead. She had apparently been hit by a car. We could hear the cub calling for its mother.

Norm picked up the carcass and carried it under the tree. We sat on the ground and petted her, not to make her feel better, nothing would, but to make sure the cub could smell her. Five minutes later the cub came down and we carried his mother to the truck and put her in the cage. The cub jumped in with her.

Back at the station we put him in a cage and took his mom to necropsy to the ghoul. She was a retired vet, an older woman that had volunteered to check the creature's condition at time of death. The first thing she did was to shave some hair off her belly and make a small pillow with them.

"Put this in with the cub," she said as she handed it to me.

The cub immediately calmed down and soon ate a salad bowl with fruit and vegetables that Megan brought it. She took his little pillow and rubbed it on her work boots then opened the cage and walked out. The cub followed her as if she was its mother.

I found an old towel and rubbed the pillow on it then put both back in its cage. Norm had already finished with the report so I signed it and we both went in search of Megan.

She was in our enclosed back yard introducing the cub to our other charges, two fawns, a lynx kitten, and a moose calf. They all seemed weary of the bear and stayed away from it but Megan calmed them down and allowed them to smell him in her hands. They could smell his distress and his love of Megan and calmed down.

Megan came to us and explained to me that she would not have contact with the bear after that day. She was going to be released just before winter and we needed it to stay away from humans as much as possible.

"Dad already has a bear and her cubs coming to their yard and that little girl will probably come to our yard but we want them to be normal and free. The bear that comes to see dad comes over to show her cubs they are safe there and after two days she leads them away. Dad thinks she is showing them the difference in scent from us to humans.

The cat will not come back by the way. She has already had her babies and is in the forest in northern Oregon.

The moose and deer will be released at the back gate. They will eventually find Norm."

"He is still living with the guys in the cabin by the lake."

"Really?"

"Yes, he is a partial a werewolf but not much. His sense of smell has improved dramatically but not to the extent of ours. You may have noticed his scent is a bit more pleasing."

"Yes but I miss his former scent, the old Nom."

"The youngsters are beginning to accept him now. Lets do lunch."

"I did not bring any."

"I know, your Mom handed me a bag when I picked up the boss. She said to remind you to eat even if you don't feel like it."

"Well, she is a meddlesome old witch."

"Yes but she is anxious to see her new granddaughter. Zelda is too old to be fun she said."

"Mom still has almost two month wait. She will drive both of us crazy by then."

"Too late to prevent that. Here, eat our lunch."

When the first snowstorm hit Megan was ordered to stay home. She was given access to the station computer from home and she did all he paperwork. Her Mom came over everyday and assisted with that and reassured her that she would be a great mother.

On Christmas Eve we opened the gate to the woods at the station and all the orphans left. One week later they were at Norms house. We had expected that since a guy claimed he saw a wolf, a wolfman, and a Sasquatch running through the woods together. The guy was a drunk so his sighting was immediately dismissed. However the ridicule did do some good, he quit drinking.

Apparently Norm had brought his housemates to the station and the animals knew their scent. Even the Lynx showed up three days later.

During her last month of pregnancy Megan allowed her mother to fuck me everyday. I fucked her grandma about four times. Her orgasms were extraordinarily powerful so she did not need me often.

Cora had found a guy and bit him. He stayed conscious through his treatment and saw her turn into a human. "You are gorgeous," was the first thing the man said to her then fucked her as a wolf. They now live in San Francisco. He was forty years old and fucks Kate on occasion.

That brought a bit of curiosity to me. Cora was in her mid forties, Kate was her mother yet she looked and fucked like she was in her mid forties herself. Do Lycans age more slowly?

Megan told me that yes; we aged more slowly after we mate. One reason her parents had become worried about her was because she would continue to age as a human until she mated. Zelda is now getting the same treatment.

Our lives became normal for parents of a Lycan girl that had just learned she could turn into wolf. Because of that she spent her pre-school and kindergarten years in a Lycan school until she could control herself and learn to use her abilities. For a couple of years Megan and I could not predict if we would find a girl or a wolf in her bed in the morning.

Megan's work had become mostly clerical; Norm and I became the animal control rangers on a permanent basis. There were four more such teams, all human. Zelda bit one of them.

It took five years but I could now turn into a wolf without worry or problems. I loved running in the woods with my wife and daughter as a mini wolf pack.

Miranda had her first period and Megan became pregnant on our next fuck. I already knew that would happen and we went through the whole cycle again. Miranda married one of our new rangers that had been a schoolmate of hers.

I became his boss when Megan's father retired and he became the boss when I retired. I was seventy but looked and acted like I was nearing fifty. Megan and I had another girl three month after I retired. It was our fifth girl. Miranda had three boys and all three of them had boys.

Megan and I discussed evening out the numbers.
