I Was Crazy Once…

Hey you guys, new story and this one does not pertain to my other stories that have a huge story and problems in it. Well, this one does but it's kind of hard to explain it. I may not be all that new anymore, but I read some stories that are labeled, "ONE-SHOT" I don't know what they mean by that, but this is going to only one chapter. I'm not sure if this is considered to be a "ONE-SHOT" but if someone could explain it to me, I would be thankful.

It was a normal day, friends hanging out, families walking with one another, enjoying the beautiful weather of the fall. Wolves were seen by the rivers, ponds, and almost any place where there are some bodies of water to attend to relax in the suns warm UV rays. It's been almost a month since Kate and Garth had married, and everything was going good, but this was not normal. Usually, the pack would be laughing due to not so much worrying about food that the Omegas were now able to pull of pranks and crack a few jokes.

But like I said, this was not normal because everyone was just mellowing out and relaxing, not a single laughter could be heard. Kate was out perched up on Howling Rock, watching over the Western Pack, seeing if any problems were coming due to the unification of the packs. So far, everything was fine, but there was a certain wolf she desperately wanted to see. Kate sat with her ears drooping and her cheeks stained with tears. She's been on top of the mountain, crying at how she lost her love due to a force marriage.

She hasn't seen Humphrey ever since he said that he was leaving Jasper, and when she was married, she went out to look for him, but couldn't find him, not even his scent. That's when Kate went to his den, but found the entrance of it blocked off. There was a dirt mound covering the whole entrance, not letting her see the inside, nor let her through. She began to search the entire perimeter of Jasper, trying to look for the wolf she fell in love with. As she was looking for him, she was hoping he would understand why she had to marry him, telling him it was a forced marriage and that countless lives could have been wasted for a single mistake.

The day of her wedding was spent mostly trying to look for Humphrey. Kate attended her wedding, but right after she went looking straight for him. Now about a month has past, she believes Humphrey's gone from her life and moved on. She loved him, but couldn't work enough courage to tell him that it was a forced marriage, but she was cared that she might break his heart, but it ended up happening.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it. I wish you were here by me, making the day wish it never end. I love you so much, but why did I have to be so naïve and not tell you the truth. If only you can hear me, and at least her what I have to say, that I love you." Kate cried as he hung her head low, letting the tears run off her muzzle and onto the ground.

Kate stood up and walked down the hill, seeing everybody not even acknowledge her condition she was in. Most of the Western Pack knew she was in love with Humphrey, but if they were in her position of being force to marry someone or cause a war that would claim many lives, they would have gone with the marriage. Kate walked silently to her and Garth's den, her head hung low and her tan fur a nasty brown from not bathing since her and Humphrey accidentally rolled and their noses were touching back in Idaho.

She was going to tell him the truth that she loved him, but with the forced marriage and the two constantly birds that kept checking up on them, she couldn't do so. Now, she waits in the den for Gath to come home from seeing her sister. He's been doing this ever since the marriage, comforting Lilly and keeping her company. She still loved Garth, but didn't hate her sister for taking her dream wolf.

Ever since the wedding Lilly got her own den and never left it, unless it was to use the restroom or to eat. With Garth's company, Lilly got out more, but she would eventually stop and go home because she would remember that Garth is married to her sister and not her. Garth came walking up to Kate, who lied in the entrance of the den. Garth had his ears dropped and his head hung low.

"She left again?" Kate asked, already knowing the outcome. Garth didn't look at Kate but nodded his head in confirmation.

"Garth, we need to do something about this. We both don't love each other, and you know that for a fact." Kate started as she saw Garth sit did and curl up on a ball.

"I know, but you know my dad, he thinks it better this way." Garth's voice muffled through his tight embrace in the ball.

"I know Garth, but since were leaders, we can abolish the rule and we could now have the one we truly love." Kate explained as she stood up and walked out the den.

"I'm going to look for Humphrey." Kate said in a tone that resembled worry. Garth unraveled himself and looked out the den, seeing Kate walk quickly into the forest to search for the wolf she loved.

"I'll address it, I can't take it anymore." Garth whispered to himself as he stood up and walked out the den and up a tall hill, giving the howl to gather for a pack meeting. Kate walked past many wolves, seeing their emotionless faces, symbolizing that Omegas have not cracked a joke to them yet. As Kate continued, she came across Humphrey's den.

She walked right up to it, and sniffed, trying to get his scent, but all she smell was her body odor. She decided to wash up and continue, so she walked past his den and towards a small pond not too far away. When she approached the pond, she waddled into the cool refreshing water, letting the waves ease her stress and clean her fur. After about an hour in the pond, she got out and shook herself dry, with the excepting of being slightly damp.

Kate then hurriedly walked to Humphrey's den; she didn't want to waste energy quickly so she didn't run. When she got to the den, she notice the dirt mound had fresh dirt on it and that it looked as if someone patted it down from the outside. She grew suspicious as to why this was here, but she resumed in her sniffing, but there was something wrong indeed. She smelled other wolves scent, but none were Humphrey's.

Okay, I know I said this would be one chapter, but I'm now getting more ideas, and new ways to build suspense. Please Review and let me know what you think of it so far. This will probably exceed 5 chapters, due to if my writing can improves and type more words faster. Thanks for reading. I have update the story, but not by adding a chapter, sorry.
