Hey all it's me xXShadowTheWolfXx bringing you the first chapter of this story which is a re-write of Kurama's final nightmare's story the lone wolf, the dire warrior. I am doing this re-write because I feel this story needs to be continued also whilst Kurama did a good job on it I feel there are some places where the story could be improved or more detail added in. I take no credit for this story except the bits I've changed or added in so enjoy.

Chapter 1 Please stay

It was early morning in Jasper park, one just like any other, the sun was shining over the valley, the birds were chirping in the trees and the light of the early risen sun reflected off the water pouring over the waterfall like millions of pieces of a broken mirror. everyone was happy everyone that is except a certain Grey wolf "I should've known this day was coming I should've known it would never have worked out between us, I did know but it doesn't mean I was prepared for it" he muttered to himself as he began to climb the slope that led to the pack leaders den thinking of ways to tell two of his best friends (including the one he loved) he was leaving jasper possibly for good.

When he reached the top he found as he expected Lilly brushing her sister Kate's fur. He sat down and coughed to get their attention "Humphrey w-w-what are you doing here" Kate asked surprised. A nervous look crossed Humphrey's face "I-I-I just wanted to say I'm happy for you and Garth and tell you that I-I-I'm leaving Jasper" he stammered "leaving why" Kate asked "there's nothing for me here anymore" Humphrey replied "of course there is" Kate said "like what I have no family, no friends, no home" Humphrey said with a hint of sadness in his voice "you do have friends you have me and Lilly" Kate said with tears in her eyes "goodbye Kate goodbye Lilly" Humphrey said before turning around and walking back down the slope leaving Kate crying on the floor.

As Humphrey made his way down the hill at the bottom of the Alpha's den he was suddenly stopped when heard a voice call out from behind "you're not serious are you" he turned round to see Winston the pack leader coming down the hill behind him "Great just what I need the over protective farther hounding me because I made his daughter cry" Humphrey said to himself.

Winston soon caught up to Humphrey "be thankful that I managed to stop my mate from coming down to talk to you" he said "I guess I owe him one" Humphrey thought to himself remembering how protective Eve was when it came to her daughters.

"And why wouldn't I be serious about leaving there is nothing here for me" Humphrey said "there's nothing for you out there either" was Winston's reply with that Humphrey sank down in defeat "I often ask myself what if I hadn't kept the real me a secret what if I hadn't hidden my past or my abilities from everyone else would things have been different" Humphrey said sadly "if you hadn't you would probably be next in line for pack leader with Kate at your side" Winston replied "Don't remind me" Humphrey retorted "but it's good you did your sacrifice helped save the pack from a dark shadow of your past" Winston replied.

After a few moments of quiet Humphrey said "he's still out there you know that right" "I know but that is for another time" Winston said "don't be so sure" Humphrey said Winston walked over and sat down next to Humphrey "Please don't leave at least not yet wait till after the ceremony" Winston said "you think I should" Humphrey asked "please it would mean the world to Kate" Winston begged

"alright I'll stay but only until after the ceremony and the first hunt of the new pair" Humphrey replied

"thank you" Winston said seconds later they heard a voice booming over the park "WIIIIIIIIIIINSTON! HAVE YOU FINISHED RIPPING OFF HIS TAIL AND SHOVING IT DOWN HIS THROUT YET!" "that's my cue got to get going cya around " said a frightened Humphrey and with that he sped off into the undergrowth.

"WIIIIIIINSTON! GET OVER HERE" Eve shouted "wow the power behind that voice" thought an amused and slightly afraid Winston.
