Hi all thanks for deciding that this story sounds interesting enough to read. This is my first fanfiction and I hope that I did well on it. I decided to read a lot of other fanfics before I decided to write my own. Anyway enough about me let's get to the story.

[Humphrey's POV train ride to Jasper]

Kate and I finally made it back to Jasper from our adventures in Idaho. Part of me wanted to stay out there with Kate away from the stupid Alphas and Omegas can't mate law. However she said she needed to head back, and I like her too much to try something like that against her will. I turn around to see Kate sleeping in the corner of the train car. She looked so cute when she slept, her tan colored fur was getting tossed around by the breeze coming in the train and the moonlight hit her at just the right angle making her look even more beautiful. As much as I love to watch her sleep I know she wants to be home. I decided to nuzzle her and wake her up

"Kate wake up"

"Humphrey? What's up?"

"We're uh, we're in Jasper"

"Oh yeah?" she said starting to stand up.

"Yeah." After a moment of silence I decided to say what was on my mind, apparently, Kate had the same idea.

"There's something I…" we said simultaneously.

"You first." I said.

"Humphrey these past few days with you has been kind of fun. You've been kind of fun." She said with her beautiful smile. My heart skipped a beat when she said that. Could she feel the same way that I do? I've got to tell her how I feel but the more I think about how to do it the more nervous I get.

"Really? Well… umm." I wanted to finish my thought but I can't stop fidgeting.

"Let me guess you have to use the bathroom." Kate joked. She must've notice me fidgeting.

"Why do you see a truck stop." I shot back. Kate and I both giggled a little at that. I started to look away feeling warmth in my cheeks. I can't believe that I'm about to tell her how I feel. Well, here goes nothing.

"Kate I just wanted to say that I lo…" I stopped when I saw she wasn't next to me anymore. I looked around to try and spot her when I saw what looked like the Eastern and Western packs getting into an argument, and Kate was running right in the middle of it.

"Oh no." I didn't care for the packs being mad at each other; all I cared about was making sure that Kate doesn't get hurt.

"I didn't run away." Kate says to the packs. She started running towards the western pack leaders Winston and Eve and her sister Lilly.

"Where have you been" Winston asks. Kate responds to him.

"In Idaho."

"Idaho? What on earth were you doing there" Eve asks with a suspicious look on her face.

"We were taken by humans to another park." I decided to but in.

"We were taken there to repopulate." That was a bad choice of words because Eve lunged at me and pinned me to the ground before I could even blink. I tried to break free but Eve was way too strong for a weak Omega like me. Luckily Kate spoke up to clear the confusion.

"Mom stop! We didn't repopulate, Humphrey actually helped me back home." I nodded my head in agreement as I struggled to breathe. Eve finally let go of me and helped me up.

"Oh. What a nice boy." I'm still a little out of it, but that's what happens when someone almost chokes you to death. Then I heard Winston say something I couldn't make out what he said but one word stuck out for me 'Married'. I thought who would be getting married until I started to think about it. Kate made it seem like coming here was a matter of huge importance. We come back to see both packs at their throats. I know there is a food shortage in the eastern pack. The only way that both packs would be united is if… Kate married Garth. That's why she wanted to get back here so badly. She wanted to stop both the packs from hurting each other. I feel like I was used, but then again I'm not mad at her, she had a good intention. Part of me didn't want to believe it though and I had to ask, just to make sure that the part of me that doubts this is happening could be put to rest.

"You're getting married?"

"Yeah, isn't it great? No more fighting over hunts, no more scraps for dinner. We can be a peaceful pack again." I wanted to ask why she's marrying 'Barf' because part of me thinks, no, knows that she doesn't like Garth. I could tell from the beginning when I asked her about him at the moonlight howl just before we were kidnapped. I couldn't say anything though as most of the female wolves started to take Kate and talk to her about 'Barf'. I can't stay for this I need to go back to my den and think about what to do. What do you do when the girl of your dreams is getting married just when you start to feel that she might like you back?

"Humphrey can I talk to you?" I turned around to see Eve just standing there. Almost immediately I went into a defensive stance just in case she wanted to finish me off from earlier.

"Oh relax I just want to talk." I decided to trust her for now and I let my body relax a little.

"What do you want to talk about Eve?"

"About Kate." I felt sadness again all I can think about is Kate and 'Barf' being together. I couldn't let Eve know that I liked her.

"What about her." I tried to speak with a serious tone but I felt my throat getting tight trying to hold back my true feelings.

"You don't have to hide it anymore Humphrey, I know you like Kate."

"Then why are you talking to me about this?" My curiosity is starting to grow with this conversation. Why would Eve, who almost killed me earlier, talk to me so calmly about liking Kate?

"I knew you liked her for a while now since she left for Alpha school in fact. I think you two would be cute together. I can tell that you both like each other very much and that you both would go to extreme lengths to make sure the other is safe. However, this is where there is a problem. You are an Omega and she is an Alpha, as much as I hate to say it, how are you going to protect Kate if you can't hunt or fight. You're a good guy Humphrey but if you can't protect Kate then you can't be with her."

Her words hit me like a truck, but she does have a point. What if Kate and I were together and she was in danger, I wouldn't be able to do anything, and I could never forgive myself if Kate died as my mate and I couldn't help her in any way. I can't hold it in any longer I just let the tears flow down my face. I didn't even care that Eve was looking.

"I know I can't protect Kate, even on the trip back from Idaho she had to help defend me more than I helped to defend her. However, this doesn't change the fact that I love her. I don't care if I am not capable of protecting Kate. I would still risk my life for her and make sure that if anything I sacrifice myself for her to get away from danger."

"I know that you would Humphrey but Garth is an Alpha that has the strength to protect Kate. Unless you somehow get that strength I can't give you my word that I will approve of you and Kate being mates." I acknowledged her words. I have to get strong so that I can protect Kate, maybe if I do I can actually become an Alpha and be mates with her.

"Thanks Eve, I know what I have to do now."

"You're welcome Humphrey. See you at the wedding." With that Eve walked toward the Alpha den. I got to thinking on how I can become strong. I can't hunt and I'm not the most athletic wolf.

"You want to get stronger?" I yelped and started to look around to try and see who that was.

"Yes I do, I want to be stronger than any Alpha who ever lived."

"I can help with that." I felt the wolf stare at me but I didn't know from where. Then out of nowhere I feel a jolt in my neck, it wasn't painful though it just felt weird. My muscles started to spasm uncontrollably and I started to feel lightheaded. I was then overcome with a feeling of drowsiness. My eyes wanted to close but I wouldn't let them. I fought to keep them open as long as I could but I was losing. The forest started to fade and just before I fell asleep I saw something glowing in front of me. It looked like a pair of blood red eyes.

"Sleep well, Humphrey."
