His paws ached with every step he took. His body was shutting down, but he couldn't stop now. His head was spinning, his heart was racing. Running at a steady pace, Humphrey fought not to look back. His entire world had been dashed. Every dream, every hope, everything he loved was gone.
A group of Eastern pack wolves had invaded their territory, killing several wolves in the process. They had taken Kate, along with many of the other Alphas captive.
He had to find somewhere safe to regroup, and think of a plan.
"Some husband I am." He said trying to hold back tears, for if he cried now, he would never be able to think of a plan.
He then stumbled over a rock, gashing his leg in the process. "Oh, great!" Said Humphrey in a worried voice. A small group of Eastern pack wolves were coming at him fast.
Humphrey had to move, now!
He continued to lay there stunned, wondering if he would live. Memories flashed through his mind.
That morning some strange things had been going on. Guard wolves were disappearing in the middle of their patrol, and were later found nearly dead, several carcases had been found that no one in the pack had claimed to have killed, things of that nature. That is when Humphrey knew something was going on... he didn't know what, but he intended to find out!
He walked over to the edge of a steep ridge. He always liked to sit there and think when he was depressed. When he looked over the edge, he wished he hadn't. There, in the valley, he witnessed what he thought to be the most awful thing he could ever see... Kate, being taken by the Eastern pack... It was then that he vowed to get her back, and that is exactly what he intended to do!
