#5 of THE RETURN OF TWO OMEGAS 2: FAMILY MATTERS

Kip decides to put more effort in the training of Drew, but a rival pack come to Jasper and this maybe will increase the problems in the family.


One hour later, the family finish the dinner, Ashley and Kip rest in the meantime they see as their cubs are playing. Madyson leaps over her brothers and knocks them down without a lot of effort.

Ashley laughs smoothly just like Kip. He moves his tail while he sees that his children recover and they strike back, he raises an eyebrow lightly when he sees that Russel does a fast motion to prevent that his sister catches him.

He crouches and rolls to escape of the danger zone. After playing for over an hour Kip sends the cubs off to bed, he sees that his three cubs slide through a hole in the right side of the main cave.

When the three cubs are out of view, he slides through a hole that is to the left side and he enters in the chamber that he shares with Ashley. She is leaning on her chest on the ground while she has her forepaws crossed and her head on them.

"Well... What is the problem?" Ashley asks while Kip sits ahead of her.

"Drew is failing in his training, today they had to try to ambush me, Madyson failed due a pair of errors, but she made it very well for a first time. I found Drew playing on a circular rock." Kip says sighing.

"He was moving back and forward the rock using paws his paws, I got angry and I sent him to find something interesting. But who managed to catch a so-called goose Paddy was Russel." Kip says looking at his mate.

"Oh my mother's and Humphrey's friend." Ashley says laughing smoothly while Kip nods.

"Apparently Kate and Humphrey asked to Paddy that he could be the prey of their cubs in order that they practice, but Russell was who caught Paddy even he gave a correct answer of alpha to one ask of Humphrey while Drew could not give that simple answer." Kip says looking at Ashley.

"Well... Russel at least made a good thing, he was not animate a lot with our omega's training." Ashley says looking at Kip, she sighs.

"Kip, they are just cubs, my brothers began to practice when they were older than our children." Ashley says looking at Kip.

"And both are dead." Kip says with discouragement.

"What do you mean?!" Ashley asks getting up and growling with distaste. Kip gets surprised and swallows hard seeing that he had played a sensible subject and he made a mistake.

"I am sorry, it was not my intention." Kip says looking at Ashley with remorse. She decreases the intensity of her growling and she leans again, but looks at her mate with distaste.

"Did you ever consider? That maybe... Drew is not an alpha." Ashley says looking at Kip with attention. He gets surprised and denies it with his head.

"Of course he is an alpha, he has the necessary ability; you should have seen as he kept well-balanced on that rock, he was moving his legs with a lot of coordination." Kip says with firmness because he knows that that is a little hard.

"It seems that it makes you pride." Ashley says smiling smoothly and looking at Kip. He opens his eyes with surprise and does not know how to respond in front of that, he internally feels some pride, but Drew was doing something that should not make an Alpha.

"If the problem is Drew... perhaps you should try to focus more on him, an exclusive training could improve his ability. As Madyson is doing it very well you can give her the day off, and that way perhaps Drew and Madyson will be at the same level of training with some hard work." Ashley says looking at Kip.

"That seems a good idea." Kip says thinking that Ashley is right. Having Drew under a constant supervision would be a good thing to prevent that he loses his attention."

"And you could teach to Russel too, he seems to be interested in these things." Ashley says looking at Kip.

"I do not think that it would work, Drew perhaps would try to play around with his brother before putting attention in his lessons." Kip says looking at Ashley. She frowns but says absolutely nothing.

Both finishes the conversation and they fall asleep side by side. A couple of hours Kip wakes up and moves ears from to a side to other one at the same time that he breathes deeply. He needs not to open the eyes to know that a dozen of little paws enter in the chamber.

Kip opens his left eye and sees that the three cubs are sitting near.

"What happens?" Kip asks yawning lightly and looking at the three cubs.

Drew rubs his right forepaw with discomfort while his ears are in submissive position.

"I had a nightmare... a giant bear broke branches while he tried enter the cave and..." Drew says shamefacedly in the meantime he looks at his father.

"And we listen sounds out of the cave..." Russel says looking at his sister and next to his father.

Kip sees that Madyson and her brothers are scared completely, he hears that in the exterior of the cave branches crashes against each other due the wind.

"Ok..." Kip says stretching himself and opening his legs. The three cubs rapidly approach to their father and they lean backwards using Kip's body as a pillow.

Kip curled to cover the cubs with his long and thick tail. Drew makes himself comfortable while he seizes the tail of his father to cover himself better before closing his eyes.

Kip watches them a moment and smiles before closing his eyes. The three cubs are sure in their own chamber, but a nightmare is a nightmare. Like any cub the three look for the protection with their parents and Kip under no eventuality would leave his pups defenseless, he will protect them with all his force and courage.

On the next day to midafternoon Kip and Drew are practicing close to a hill.

Kip moves constant from a side to other one in order that his cub tries to analyze his motions and he tries to catch him.

Drew follows with the look his father's motions, he jumps time after time trying to catch him.

"Come one... concentrate on the motion the muscles of my legs, when I am going to move on one side, there is a light change in them, it indicates where I will move." Kip says while he looks at his cub.

Drew looks at his father with attention, but a strange sound catches his attention and he raises the head to look around. The sound gets close to them and suddenly a tree trunk passes over his head and the head of his father.

"Wow What's that?" Drew asks looking with fascination at that strange scene, he sees with eyes completely opened like Salty and his friends omegas are driving the trunk that slides down the hill raising some dust.

Three omegas howl with emotion and joy while the trunk moves from side to side.

"It is just couple of omegas playing." Kip responds with distaste because they had perturbed the training of his cub.

"Let's continue." Kip says again while he begins to jump randomly from side to other side. Drew tries to continue with the training, but his mind was at play that he had seen.

It seems very fun and he wanted to try it. His leaps fail time after time while he is completely absent-minded. Kip notices this and he gets angry seeing that Drew only practically jumps anywhere without trying to catch him.

Kip stops while he is upset when he knows that his son does not have his mind in training, but he suddenly sees that a wolf comes on running from the side opposed of the valley.

"Kip some wolves entered in the east part of our territory." The wolf says looking at Kip.

"Stay here!" Kip says while he starts running next to another wolf. Meanwhile at the other end of the valley Madyson is close to Russel. She moves two branches in different directions.

From the branches hang threads from old ropes. In their extremes there are two rabbit furs that had been devoured some time ago. Madyson takes her time to move a branch or another one randomly.

Russel looks at the rabbit furs he leaps over them each time that both furs move. He looks to his sister to try reading her motions and anticipate to what she is going to do.

Madyson is close to move the right branch and sees that her brother already is on the air. He becomes abler each time, she had been helping him to train. They had chosen this place as their secret place because their father cannot see them here.

Russel and Madyson stop the training and they raise their ears in alert.

"Did you feel that?" Russel asks looking at his sister. She nods while she meets with her brother and they tune her senses getting ready for anything. They give a jump backwards when of the grass a black wolf goes out jumping and he almost catches them.

"Well... well... What do we have here?" The wolf says looking at the cubs with a smile. Russel listens to two malicious grins come from the grass, the two cubs see that other two gray wolves burst through the grass and they join their friend.

Both wolves seem brothers because they look similar.

"I thinks that we have two snacks." A gray wolf says looking at the other two wolves while he licks his mouth.

"We will have to divide them." The other wolf he says while he looks at his brother. He nods while the three wolves get close to the two pups. Russel and Madyson move back slowly in the meantime they see as the three wolves show their teeth.

Madyson knows that they are in real trouble, fight against three adult wolves is something for what she neither Russel are ready. The black wolf gives a jump toward them and he receives a scratch in the eyes from Russel.

The wolf howls in pain and he covers his right eye while he growls with hate the two pup that move back more.

"I will take that runt, the girl is for you two." The black wolf says looking at his friends. They nod and they are poised to attack, Russel rapidly gets himself in front of his sister and keeps moving back slowly while he pushed to his sister.

Perhaps with a small opportunity, his sister would manage to escape, if he manages to attract the attention of the enemies. Madyson has also her own plan to make a try to escape, she rubs her forepaw on the ground feeling the dust below her small pads.

She thinks about blinding the wolves using dust and that way trying a fast escape. They are little and perhaps they will find a place where hiding. But time of thinking finishes when the black wolf jumps over them.

The wolf suddenly flies through the air and falls to the ground growling of pain.

"Dad!" Madyson says to see that her father is ahead of them. Kip moves his side from a side to other side while he confronts the three wolves. He with his hind right hind paw pushes back his cubs to maintain them out of the danger zone.

Russel's and Madyson's bodies roll for some moments until they stop and get up rapidly. Both jump behind a rock and look over it.

Madyson sees that her father does not move while the three wolves surround him. Kip moves his eyes analyzing the three aggressors, the two gray wolves attack to Kip at the same time that the black wolf attacks too.

Kip jumps forward and he use his two hind legs to give a kick to each one of the gray wolves and he attacks the black wolf by surprise closing his mouth around the neck of the wolf.

Madyson and Russel tremble when Kip uses a motion of whip and the body of the wolf hits the land and a crushing sound is heard at the moment that the wolf's neck breaks.

Russel sees that his father throws the wolf in front of their friends. They growl with more force and prepare to attack again, they run to attack Kip. The three wolves get engaged in a fight, but Kip has the advantage.

He bites the leg of the gray wolf that is at his right and he throws him against a rock, the body of the wolf hits the rock and he screams in pain when his body falls on the dusty floor. Kip attacks the other wolf giving him a hit in the face and throwing him to the floor.

The moment of disorientation of the wolf is used by Kip that closes his mouth around the neck of the wolf. Madyson looks as the body of the wolf trembles and moans with pain while he pulls to try to get loose.

Kip does not stop and bites with more force before doing a twinkle to break enemy neck. A crushing sound is heard the moment that the inert body of the wolf is hanging from the mouth of Kip.

He just opens his mouth and the lifeless body falls raising dust, the two cubs look with surprise at their father. They knew that as each alpha, their father is trained in combat, but in their short life both never saw him fighting.

Kip puts his attention in the last wolf, he limps while his leg is bleeding, and his blood left some trails in the ground while he tries to escape, but does not go far away when Kip caught him and he throws it against the ground.

"Which is your pack?!" Kip asks growling in a rage in the meantime he looks at the wolf that moves back. Kip does not expect a second more before catching the wolf for the back and whipping him against the ground repeatedly.

Pups see that the body hits the ground repeatedly and raise a great cloud of dust, Kip stops after some moments and releases the wolf. Blood threads drip from the head of the enemy.

"Answer me and I will make your death be faster and painless." Kip says while the enemy pants and moans with pain.

"Southern river... pack." The wolf says panting while he has a closed eye due to the beating. Kip says absolutely nothing and with a twinkle he tears the wolf's throat.

Blood gushes out and stains Kip's face. Madyson sees that the red blood drips of the chin of her father and one half of his face is stained too. The two cubs go out of behind the rock and they come closer slowly.

"Dad..." Russel says while he looks at his father. He sees that his father has closed eyes and opens them. The two cubs look with fear that the look of their father, it demonstrates anger, a great anger.

"What you two were they doing here?! I told you that should not get close to the pack's borders." Kip grunts ferociously in the meantime he looks at the two cubs.

They had been close to die by disobey him. The two cubs stammer and do not know how to say, but Kip looks at the two furs of rabbit thrown at the side of a rock and also notices the white hairs in the forepaws of Kip.

"Ashley... that is an instrument for training and no a toy... you know how difficult it is tying some strings, in addition to lose time instead of practicing!" Kip says looking at his daughter with complete anger.

She moves back a little with fear and downs her look while two tears take shape in her eyes. His father never had shouted to her in this way.

"Dad...I..." Russel says looking at his father. He tries to look for an excuse to take off his sister the responsibility of this.

"Russel... you must understand that you are one omega and that is not going to change!" Kip says while he growls smoothly thinking that this had gone too far. The rules in the pack cannot change just because you want it.

Russel downs his head while one tear takes shape in his right eye. Kip listens to steps that rapidly come closer, he sees that two wolves get close to him. They are Candu and Hutch.

The two wolves see the dead wolves and they stop in front of Kip.

"Kip... all frontiers are free, there are no signs of intruders." Candu says looking at Kip. He growls when he sees to his around and sees the dead enemies.

"Who was in charge of the guard of was the frontier?!" Kip asks looking at the two alpha wolves.

"Zach." Hutch responds looking at Kip. He growls with force and anger while he starts to walk from side to side. Zach is a new wolf in the pack.

"I will deal with him, now gather all alfas, we need a meeting to see how to deal with these bastards!" Kip says looking at the two alpha wolves. Hutch and Candu nod and rapidly they begin to run towards the center of the valley to gather the wolves.

Kip makes his cubs a grimace and starts to walk, the two cubs begin to follow to his father. The group remains in silence while they walk moving between the trees and shrubs.

When the group goes deeply into the territory, Kip stops.

"Return to the cave with your mother and do not get out the track anytime." Kip says looking at the two cubs.

They walk slowly heading to the den, Kip watches them a moment before going to look for Drew.

He feels worried by his cub, this incursion could have been dangerous. Kip walks to attain the point where his son was, but he does not find him there.

Immediately Kip gets worried because he instructed Drew to stay into that place, Kip begins to sniff the ground and searching the trail of his cub.

In a few moments later Drew's aroma gets to Kip's nose, he begins to move slowly without losing track of his cub. Kip's paws push aside the grass while he begins to climb a hill.

"What the hell is he doing by here?" Kip asks himself while he perceives that the trail becomes stronger, he is coming closer. In addition to the trail of Drew, there are other aromas of known wolves.

Kip listens some laugh of wolves that come from the top of the hill. He makes it to the top after some moments and his eyes open when he sees that Salty, Shakey and Mooch are sitting on a bark of trunk.

Drew is behind them, he is sitting while he is completely thrilled and moves his tail while he grabs by the thresholds of the bark.

"Drew get down from there... now!! Kip shouts with rage seeing his cub seated in the trunk.

Drew jumps with scare listening as his father shouts his name. He rapidly gets out of the trunk and looks at his father, he looks with rage in the eyes.

"Dad... I... just..." Drew says while his father looks at him. He had seen as the omegas were taking the bark to the top of the hill, so he wanted to join in the game and they had not put an objection.

"I never want to look you again seated in a trunk. Did you understand?!" Kip asks growling and looking at the cub. Drew nods smoothly in the meantime he looks directly to the ground to avoid looking at his father.

Drew feels sad while his eyes get wet.

"Take it easy Kip. This is not something so serious." Salty says while comes closer next to the other omegas wolves.

"Shut up!" Kip says growling and showing the teeth to three omegas that stop cold and move back some steps.

"Let's go." Kip says growling and looking at Drew at the moment of starting to walk and descending the hill. Drew says absolutely nothing and starts to walk behind his father.
