All Chapters of The Alpha Damien: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"We did, didn't we boys, show those jerks something!""They won't attempt to steal one of our cows again, you can be sure of that""Have you seen that opening shot? I adore my new rifle!"The final voice was heard to his left. Damien shifted his gaze carefully in order to get a better look at the person who had shot his second-in-command. The tall person held his weapon up for the other people to see while also pulling back his grass cover.He committed every feature of that face to memory, imprinting it on his enraged psyche. He saw them group up and then circle about to celebrate their victories. Squatting over the body of his former second when they turned their backs, he realized that this was his last chance to go.He emerged from the grass like one of the rifle shots and sprinted headlong for the tree line. The humans behind him were audibly cursing and shouting in shock as they realized their mistake. He was about to reach the top of the hill when he heard the piercing crack of

She carefully turned and unzipped the tent flap. She cautiously unlocked the top of a large backpack after removing it from the tent with her hand. She took some beef jerky out of the bag and threw each piece at him one at a time. By the third piece, he was within throwing distance and was successfully grabbing the pieces before they landed.He glanced at her and swung his head back and forth to indicate that he didn't want any more when the bag was halfway empty. After a few period of continued staring, he licked his chops and started to scan the campsite. He failed to spot any nearby water source. Suddenly, recognition appeared on their faces"Oh shit! I bet you are really thirsty after eating all that salted beef. Let me get you a bowl and I'll get you some water."Her voice was normal now, with no trace of fear. She opened another pocket on the backpack and pulled out a small silver oblong container. She flipped open the lid and removed all the other items from inside it and

As for the other, HAH! She had seized up too tight for a fart. Damn! This thing was HUGE! It must weigh 250 pounds, at least, maybe more. Its head was twice the size of hers and when it had been standing there it almost looked her straight in the eyes, and she was tall, 5' 10" without boots on. The color of the fur was strange too. At first she thought it was a solid steel gray, but the more she studied it, the more she noticed that there were several different shades of gray mixed in, and they shimmered as she shifted position. No dog or wolf breed she ever read about had that kind of coloring.After watching the wolf sleep for an hour, she realized she hadn't had anything to eat yet. As quietly as possible, she opened up her backpack and pulled out a food bar. As she sat back down on her camp stool and started to open the package, the wolf opened one eye, looked at her, then closed it again and went back to sleep. So, it doesn't trust me either, she thought. Well, I can't blame it,

She was suddenly very nervous and concerned for her safety for the first time since this morning. He sensed this immediately and started whimpering, trying to convey his sincere apology at making her afraid of him. He lowered his head, setting his chin on the ground. She understood what he was doing and relaxed, dropping her arms to her sides, but she still didn't approach him."Why did you look at me like that? Did I suddenly taste like food?"He raised his head up off the ground far enough so that he could move it back and forth, indicating that he didn't think that."Alright, then. I'd appreciate it if you didn't do that again, okay?"He moved his head up and down this time and chuffed, letting her know that he did understand that she didn't like that. With that understanding between them now, she walked closer to him, but stopped just outside what she thought his reach with that super long tongue of his could go. She raised her hand towards his muzzle, and he gently licked the end

The bear shuddered and let loose one last spasm of fight, but it was over. The bear fell to the ground, carrying Damien with it. They landed with a huge thud; as almost three thousand pounds of muscle and bone combined hit the ground. Damien had twisted his body along the bear's side to keep from getting smashed. He kept his hold on the bear until he was absolutely sure it was dead. When he couldn't feel a heart beat for several seconds, he let go. There was a slurping wet sound as he removed his muzzle from inside the wound. He had done it!! He had killed the beast! Commodum habitus es Asinus! I own your ass!He was so relieved that he had killed the bear and saved her from certain death. He was so proud of himself that he went right to the tent flap and stuck his head inside to share his joy. A beam of light suddenly blinded him and then she screamed and passed out. O Stercus! He had just scared her right out of her mind. He felt like a complete dumbass, Asinus stultissimus; yep, th
