A new draft begininng fox
Working on a beginning for my fox story. Feel free to leave feedback or note me comments.
Why did I have to come...leaving all my friends just to get mud on my paws? Oh and lets not forget those annoying flys that keep drive bombing my ears. I dont know I try to be a good tod fox...into male sports and such....but mud between my paw pads
"Come along Brecken, dont fall behind, your place is at the head of our pack here beside me your mother."
My ears splaying I quicken my pace wondering for the thousands time why we had to run on all fours instead of simply hiring a carriage. Trying hard to not listen to the snickers or see the smirking muzzles of my female cousins who all seem to now be looking my way. Growling as they crowd against me as I pad past them knowing how I hate it when they rub their thick vixen scents on my fur as they seek to make me smell like one of them a female.
"Sorry mom, I was just thinking about grandma." I bark softly once taking the male's traditional place beside the alpha female. That I am small for a male brings me no end of teasing from my cousins tho I think in truth they would seek to bully and tease me even if I was large and musclar. No doubt they are jealous of the male rights I recieve from my mom who thinks the old ways are the only ways.
Suddenly feeling something wetting down my tail fur I almost turn to bite someone....my mother being near the only thing that keeps me walking focusing putting one paw before the other well telling myself it was water not something else those brats just sprayed me with.
Yes I dont have a vixen of my own...but for that I blame my cousins. As there was a nice artic vixen, her family just recently having settled in our valley. And well her first day at school being what is was I felt drawn to introduce myself and show her around. And we seemed to really hit it off but just two days later she was with a much larger tod fox whom I later found out was best friends with one of my cousins favorited males.
I did try to talk to that artic vixen but she would simply turn and pad off in the other direction or seek the company of her new male. And none of the local vixens would even speak to me...well the ones who where not busy treating me as just another female vixen that is.
Sadly my cousins ruled the school with an iron paw each of them an alpha fox over some section of it. And complaining to my mom did no good as she would just go on about how it was good our family was all alphas. She of course seemed to think I was an alpha too the way she would praise me for just little things which caused my cousins to redouble their teasing of me. I was only allowed the company of fellow male fox for friends which made it strange and yet a very stress free childhood I guess.
But now that I was getting to the age my mother felt I should have a vixen of my own....I had wondered if just maybe this little problem was partly the why of our family vacation to the countryside. Visiting the ancient family strong hold....even as I inwardly cringed thinking about the awkward questions grandma would no doubt ask about my lacking of a mate or even a promised courting of a vixen.
"Where did mom go?" I ask looking around as coming out of my day dreaming I find us stopped along side the road with just my coursins.
"She just met a very cute tod and they are getting to know each other over in yonder field."
"What?" I bark confused and feeling my ears splaying with sudden embrassment. As yes it was the breeding holiday....every adult was excepted to go traveling ...to couple with all they encounter....How could I be so stupid to have forgotten......my mom was no doubt thinking I might meet a vixen along the way.....I understood the holiday was needful to keep our race strong but could not help feeling suddenly very awkward as I did not even know how to court a female....
"Down you go." one of my cousins barked as she gave my ear a rough bite just as two others jumped on my back sinking me down to the ground beneath them as they urinated on me...I did not even bother trying to bite knowing if I showed tooth they would too and one against six I would get the worst of it. And well I knew soon they would all be done marking me and grow bored of their little game.
But this time it was different I smelled something....a strong musk that was not that of female fox nor any kind of fox at all. And hearing them those strange growls and howls that wolves use to talk confirmed it seconds before I could see the large lupine legs and paws from between vixen legs that encircled me.
That the wolf pack was pacing around our little group was making me nervous till I caught wind of the growing lupine musk and saw how more then a few of them where sliding from sheath.No they could not be thinking too.....mother would never allow us to breed with another species.....
I felt a large lupine muzzle at my tail just as I heard one of my cousins begin talking with the alpha of the wolf pack. It seemed all of my cousins had a wolf muzzle at their tail and whats worst is I had a firm vixen paw holding me down in such a submissive posturing it had to be making the male who was sniffing me excited by how fast I heard him breathing. Its when I could feel my tail being licked that I lost it, struggling so strongly I managed to regain my paws but no sooner did I sit up then I had my throat encircled by large lupine jaws.
I was so scared I hardly even noticed that most of my cousins now had wolves atop them breeding them just as if we where wolves ourselves. That very moment I was only thinking about myself and how scared I was...how much those fangs where hurting me I could not help giving a yip of pain. Which seemed to anger the male holding me, had I just broken some lupine code I dont know but I was sure I was about to be killed on the spot for refusing his advance.
But then I heard sharp barks and a woof after which I found myself half dragged half carried over to their pack alpha. Finding myself dumped at the big males paws too scared to even think of running once my neck was released I just lay their shaking trying to make myself small. Im not sure how it started but when I became aware of that large male licking my ears I suddenly was no longer afraid. Something about him...I sniffed the air taking in his scent finding it calming to my senses. I just knew then and there I was his and he would protect me.
Im not sure why but I could not seem to stop sniffing the air my nose becoming greedy for the musk of this alpha wolf. And he simply kept still sitting on his haunches allowing me to sniff. I found myself slowly crawling closer wanting to know more about this wolf before me. Giving him greeting sniffs to muzzle , to ears then to tail. Yet at the tail I found myself lingering and at my pause he lifted up a hind leg as if able to so easly read my mind. I dont know why I did it but my nose went right to his sheath my nose pad touching his warm sheath as I took his scent deep into my nose.
"Good girl."
It was his words that snapped me out of it shocked me back to myself enough that I pulled back. Becoming aware of my tongue hanging partly outside my muzzle as if I had just been about to lick something.
Shying back two paw lengths and tensing to bolt it was then that his alpha gaze locked upon mine and I just knew if he told me to lick I would do so. Would he kill me now for trying to refuse I wondered starting to grow nervous all over again. But the big wolf male simply stood up on all fours padded to me closing the distance then rubbed his large muzzle along myside before giving the backs of my ears kisses.
I just stood there unsure what to do or say as the big male turned away from me gave a loud bark to his pack and started walking away.
I did not move a muscle till every single one of those wolves had walked out of sight. I think if not for Mary the defacto alpha of my cousins having half nudged half dragged me back to our family spot along side the road I would of been ran over by the next carriage to come down the road.
