Chapter 1
Humphrey
The full moon elluminated the Western territory beautifully, and a chorus of howls dominated the quiet night for miles. Most animals are frightened by this sound, but It raises the spirits of all wolves who hear it. All of the wolves of the central pack were happy tonight, but the happiest of those wolves were Lilly, Garth, Kate, and I. Lilly and Garth are experiencing love for the first time, and Kate and I are finally able to be together.
This was are second howl together and It was just as amazing as the first. I remember back to the howl Kate and I shared on the train car, easily one of my fondest memories. I knew there would be more of those kind of memories as I spend the rest of my life with Kate. She was truely the most amazing wolf I have ever met.
I glanced over at Kate to see her eyelids drooping. If I don't bring her home soon, I'll have to carry her. I was disappointed that we couldn't stay longer, but I didn't blame her; We've been howling for hours. Even Garth and Lilly had left, we were the only wolves on howling rock.
"Let's get you home" I tell her.
Kate's eye's sparkle as she looks at me and smiles "Alright".
We pad down the mountain, a strange feeling coming over us as we are the only wolves around. Tonight was great, but it was only the beginning of the rest of our lives. We arrived at the slope of Kates' parents' den.
Kate looks at me sadly "I had fun tonight".
I smile "Me too".
Kate grins and turns half way towards her den "I'll visit you tomorrow morning before my alpha duties".
I nod my head in agreement and watch as she disappears in the darkness of her den. I suddenly felt utterly and unbearably alone. I sighed to myself and turned towards my den that was set up on the western outskirts of the territory. It was a mile from anybody elses den, which didn't help with my lonliness. I barely took in any of my surroundings as I walked, spending most of my attention on the events that transpired today. I went from the saddest wolf in the western and eastern pack to the happiest wolf in Canada.
The sound of growling brought me back to reality. My ears honed in on the sound. My head swiveled to the right. I'm an omega, I should have run, but my curiousity got the best of me. I inched forward towards the sound, my fur standing on end. This was the second time this week that my curiousity has put me in danger. The growling ceased as I neared a bush. I cautiously peeked through, ready to defend myself against an attack. The first thing I spotted was two yellow eyes staring back at me. They quickly disappeared, and the coyote ran away. I laughed at myself, amused that all that fuss was over some varmint mutt. If It had been an alpha that found it, they would have killed it, but I didn't feel like going through the trouble.
I was met with a new set of eyes as I turned around. These blue orbs seemed to glow like a lightbulb. They brought both a sense of peace, and fear. These eyes captivated me, and seemed to stare dirrectly into my soul. They were beautiful! I don't how long I've been staring, but I'm sure it was long enough. I wanted to turn and run, but at the same time, I wanted to stay here just a little longer...
I hadn't noticed that these eyes had been slowly getting closer, not even when they were inches away from my face. I was snapped out of my trance when the eyes disappeared, and pain shot through my shoulder. I glanced down suprised to see that this wolf bit me! She gazed into my eyes again for a second, then ran off.
I looked down at my shoulder, watching the blood seep from my wound, unable to believe what just happened. Her eyes showed happiness, not anger or any intention to attack. Maybe that was how she expressed love. I know some wolves have very weird ways of displaying their feelings. I shake the thought away, and focus on making it back to my den.
My den was small, but it held In heat very well. I should consider myself lucky, most omegas had to share a den, but since Kate and I were good friends and Winston liked me, I got my own. I stumble into my den, the world around me beggining to spin in circles. I glanced at my shoulder. She had barely broke the skin which increased my belief that she did not intend harm. I collapsed onto the ground, and dreamed about two glowing blue eyes.
