Runt

Chapter 1

Andrew over looked the pack's territory, acres of land that his family and pack owned for their own purposes. To hunt, to exercise, and to even mate in once in a while when the time came to it. Andrew was 11 years old with brown hair that comes down to his blue eyes and little less then average build. He hated who he was, he was a werewolf runt and worse yet, he was the son of the pack's alpha. He sighed to himself as he remembers hearing that night when he overheard hearing his father talking about what a disappointment he was going to be to his pack.

"That boy is a runt, his older brothers all changed when they were his age," Ronald complained to his wife after Andrew failed change. The night before was a full moon, the night Andrew was supposed to change like his brothers, but when he didn't. If his family had shared cages instead of separate once, Andrew knew he would have dead when morning came. Werewolf pups usually change when they began to hit puberty, unless they were runts. Then it takes a while or never do change, then they don't gain the inhuman strength or the supped up senses. Ronald went onto say, " Alice, do you know how that reflects on me, the alpha of this pack, how the other members of the pack will look at me, they will think I'm growing weak and try and take over." While Andrew's mother tried to calm her husband and mate down, Andrew walked back to his room, threw some clothes into his book bag and left out the window. Being as quit as he can, he made his way from the house.

He made his way to the edge of his pack's territory, trying to hide his sent so no one could follow. He soon came to a distance he never made before; he took a breath and stepped across the boarder between the unknown and familiarity. He then made his way to a road that was a few miles away from his home. He continued to fallow the road for a few miles more when a large semi-truck pulled up beside him. The man inside it rolled down the window and looked down to the young boy and smiled.

"Hey there kid, what are you doing out here late at night?"

Andrew looked at the gruffly looking man, "Uh, well, I um..." Andrew didn't know what to say. He didn't want to come out and say he ran away in fear of being sent home and facing his parents.

The man's smile spread wider, "Don't worry kid, get in, I'll let you stay with me for the night."

Andrew was relieved, he didn't have to walk anymore he was beginning to get tired. After the man unlocked the door, Andrew climbed in and sat in the comfy chair next to the man. The man had a bit of a beer belly that showed through his flannel shirt, he had a thick beard that was graying and a trucker's hat.

They drove on for a little longer before coming to a truck stop that was empty of any life. The man pulled into the truck stop and shut everything down, then motioned Andrew to the back, "Come on kid, its bed time," he patted the boys thigh and moved into the back of the truck.

Curious, Andrew followed and found a large bed in the back of truck; the man was shifting in around a little frigate and took out a coke that he had opened. He handed the coke to Andrew and said, "Here, you must be thirst."

Andrew was really thirsty and he took the coke and drank it. The man then showed him a xbox and TV that was in the back and offered if he wanted to play, Andrew jumped at the chance and began to play Halo with the trucker. After a while, Andrew felt a little funny, he felt dizzy and his little peter began to get hard with a new feeling.

The man took note of this and took the controls away, "It looks like you are ready for bed, now lets get you more comfortable." He then moved to take off Andrew's shirt and began to take off his pants. Andrew was too dizzy to do anything when he began to feel like something was, like an alarm that went off in his head. He shouldn't have got in with this man, but he was to worried about getting away from the pain of hearing his father's words to care. When the man was about to take of his underwear, a loud thud came from the side of the truck. The man looked over to the curtain separating them from the driver's cabin, a little worried. If someone found him with this little boy, he could get into a lot of trouble. There was another thud on the side of the truck, this time louder and harder, enough so that the side was dented in.

The man yelled out, "Ok, ok, I'll be there, just hold your horses," he got up slightly annoyed and worried at who ever was interrupting him. He made his way to the front of the cabin and looked out the window, there was no one out there. The man opened the door, stuck his head out and looked around. He felt something wet and warm drip onto his neck and began to hear a snarling sound above him. He then looked up and saw a huge hair animal looking down at him.

Before the man could scream, the huge animal reached down with it's big hand-like paw and grabbed him by the throat and pulled him out of the truck over to the other side. The man landed on his back knocking the wind out of him. When he came to, the huge animal had already jumped down from the top of the truck and was walking; on it's hind legs, over to him. The man was able to see the animal much better in the parking lot's lights. It was huge muscular wolf looking, it's lips pulled back in a snarl, showing it's large white razor sharp teeth. It's thick brown fur was raised from like an angry animal he resembled.

The animal spoke in a growling deep voice, "Do you know the penalty to trying to harm a Alpha's pup?" The man was too scared to react; the werewolf could smell the hint of fear and urine from the human. "Its death," the werewolf said then jumped up and pounced on the scared human, clawing, biting, and ripping the human to shreds. The human let out screams of terror and pain as the werewolf was killing him, his screams were cut short when the werewolf bite it into his jugular and ripped it out.

When the werewolf was finished, the human was a pile of flesh, broken bones, and a pool of blood. The werewolf licked its lips then turned toward the truck and began to walk over to it. As he made his way over, the fur on him began to fall off him to the ground in clumps. His muzzle and teeth began to shrink back to reveal a hansom human face of a man in his late thirties. It's claws retracted to well maintain nails on human hands. It's thick and bushy tail retracted to reveal a firm muscular butt, and the body shrunk to a man about 6'5"

After the transformation ended, a human man was standing outside the opened driver's door of the truck. His body was very muscular and he had a fine dust of hair covering his body. His lips were forming a frown of a concerned parent framed by a thin beard. He climbed into the truck and into the sleeping quarters to find his son unconscious and nearly naked. Ronald reached over and picked his son up and held him close to his chest letting tears fall from his eyes.

"Never again, I will not let anyone come close to hurting you ever again," Ronald promised his son.

Ronald dressed Andrew and carried him home, upon getting home, Ronald's mate and wife, Alice, came running out of the house, taking her youngest son in her arms and began crying her eyes out. Andrew's 5 older brothers, Michael who was 18, Thomas who was 17, the twins Hank and Frank who were 15, and William who was 14, soon followed and watched as their mother carried their unconscious brother into the house to bed. Their father walked over to them, tears still in his eyes but a stern look on his face.

"Never, ever, let anything happen to him," he looked into each of their eyes, "understand," this one was harsh command.

"Yes sir," they replied, not just as loyal wolves to their alpha, but also as sons to a father and loving brothers.

*******

3 years later, and that promise remains, Andrew's brothers kept a good eye on him, and the event's of that night was completely forgotten on Andrew. For the pack, some tried to take control, but Ronald defeated them and exiled them from the pack.

After some begging, Andrew convinced his parents to let him attend public school like an ordinary human child. Ronald had his other younger sons to join him so he could continue Andrew's protection. To allow for Andrew to go to school, Ronald had to expand the pack's territory, luckily, a large neighboring city was unoccupied by any other pack.

Andrew was so excited for his first day of public school; he couldn't stop talking about it to his family and pack mates.

On the fateful day, Andrew and his family woke up early to take care of the chores on the farm. Then Andrew and his 3 older brothers prepared for school, Andrew decided to wear a red t-shirt and blue jeans after eating a large breakfast, they all jumped into the pickup and rode to school. Upon arriving to Jackson High School, the boys went their separate ways, Hank and Frank to their senior class, William to his junior class, and Andrew to freshmen orientation.

When he walked into the auditorium, Andrew was hit by a sudden wave of nervousness. He's never done this before, he's had little contact with humans and he doesn't really know how to react to them. He choose a seat that was to the side and away from the human students, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to see a human boy looking down on him. He had blond hair, green eyes, was slightly taller then Andrew's 5'10", he wore a blue t-shirt with a green patterned button up shirt that was open and a pair of blue jeans.

The human boy smiled at him and said, "Hey, I'm Theodore, but everyone calls me Teddy, you mind if I sit with you?" Andrew didn't know what to say, and before he could, Teddy sat down and smiled at him, "and you are?"

Andrew blinked at the forwardness of the human, "Uh, Andrew," he said.

Teddy smiled and stuck out his hand, "Well, Andrew, I can tell your not from around here, so I'll help you fit in." Andrew blinked again and shook the offered hand, then what was said sunk in. He began to smile; he is making his first human friend.

After Freshmen Orientation, Andrew and Teddy started comparing schedules. They had History, Math, English, speech, and lunch together, Teddy promised to show him to his friends.

Through the day, Andrew found that public school was fun compared to home school, he was making friend quickly through Teddy. Kathy, Henry, Heather, Benny, and Timmy were all friends that Teddy. Andrew just knew he was going to have fun in the human world; after all, he didn't have much of one in the werewolf one. He planned to get away from home someday, so his dad wouldn't have to worry anymore.

When he got home, Andrew couldn't stop talking about the fun he had at school to the point that his brother Thomas was yelling at him to stop because he was so annoyed. Andrew could wait for what was to come; he thought he was prepared for anything. He was wrong...
