Chapter 1
Pov Humphrey
As I started to wake up one seemingly nice morning, I started to think ' what did I do to deserve a perfect life….' I turned my head to see Kate sleeping up against me. '… a perfect mate?'
Just as I finished thinking Kate started to stir.
"Good morning beautiful." I spoke to her in a loving tone.
"Good morning." She said in a tone that has less enthusiasm as mine.
I brushed it off.
I then asked what alpha duties she had to do today. She then spoke to me. "Just got my normal duties, so I should be back tonight."
"oh….ok." I responded.
As she left my four best friends walked into my den. My four best friends are Salty, Shakey, Mooch, and Lilly.
"hey guys what's up?" I asked.
"Do you want to go log sledding today?" they all asked the same time. I quite literally started to roll on the floor laughing at their confused expressions.
"Ya, lets head to the biggest hill in jasper." I answered enthusiastically.
No-one said a word on the walk to the hill. On the walk I found a log that could hold all of our weight and could fit 5 wolves.
When we got to the hill Lilly spoke up and said. " Let's get on down this hill now shall we."
"Let's do this!" Salty almost screamed as I placed our log on the hill.
We all piled into the sled. The way we got into the sled was Lilly, me, Shakey, Salty, and Mooch.
I yelled 'PUSH!" Mooch pushed us with all his strength and we were off. The sled was moving at very high speeds. Due to the weight of four wolves on a steep hill.
10 Hours Later
We have been sledding for the last 10 hours. When we heard the howl signaling time to eat, all of us started on our way to the pack feeding grounds. When we got there we had to wait for the Alphas to finish eating. Our group of five headed to the largest and tastiest looking caribou out of them all. We started to dig in. after we all finished eating we headed off to the lake to clean the blood off of our muzzles. After we all washed up I spoke, "Well, I had a great amount of fun today. But alas it is time for me to return to mine and Kate's den.
"Awww…." They all said at the same time.
There was a moment of awkward silence.
Lilly spoke up and said. "Well I guess I will see you tomorrow."
"See you all tomorrow." I called as I started to walk away.
"BYE!" they all yelled after me.
On my way home I was thinking about what I wanted to do tomorrow. When I walked into the den I noticed Kate was not home yet. I didn't worry about it because she is usually not home till late at night.
After about half an hour I decided to go out and practice my hunting skills. I walked out of the den and found a nice sized log. I started to do some log squats. After I did about 60, I stopped and said "I'm…not…built….for…this." I said in between breaths.
I lied down as I waited for my breath to come back. When it came back I took a nice long jog around the territory. As soon as I reached the western side river I jumped in and started to swim against the current.
As I finished I smelt caribou not too far away. As I got close I started to hear a strange noise coming from the bushes to my right.
As I look through the bushes I saw what I least expected….
