AN: This takes place right after the marriage of Kate and Garth and the story that follows it. I have a good idea how I want the whole story to go and I do plan on putting lemons in the story (hence the M rating) but I will not warn when they will come up and I'm open to ideas from you guys. So please review because this is the first story I have written. Enjoy ;)

Attention everyone who is just starting to read this- I noticed that several people are starting this story each and every day. Just because I am pretty far into the story, it does not mean I don't like to hear comments and reviews on chapters I finished a long time ago. Please take the time to at least review a few chapters along the way (If you don't like reviewing, then send me a PM, I'm fine with that as well). It means the world to me. Thank you and I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.

It's been about one week after the east and western packs were joined into one large pack. Just about every wolf in Jasper Park seemed to be having a great time.

Winston and Tony were really starting to get alone, telling stories of the happy, the sad, troubling and difficult times that they had with their packs.

They had so much in common and got along very well. Even Eve was warming up to Tony. She hasn't threaten to tear off any limbs and shoving them down his throat for a while.

The Vegetarians Reba and Janice were off with Shakey deep in the woods hanging out and getting to know each other. They were picking a never ending variety of different kinds of barriers with their two squirrel friends.

Everyone seemed to be having a great time when Kate and Garth married and prevented one of the biggest wars that would have been between the two packs. Everyone was happy, except Humphrey.

"I can't Believe that she is Married. Out of all the wolves in this park she marries him. What does he have that I don't." Humphrey said quietly to himself as he walked alongside the stream that separated the two halves of the park.

"Ok... he may be stronger than me and he may be better looking than me, but there must be more than that for there to be love" he said while trying to figure out what could be the missing piece.

"One thing is for damn sure that he isn't a better howler than I am" quietly chuckling to himself before quickly falling back into his depression.

"I love you... why couldn't I just tell her. On the train I was screaming it inside my head but I just couldn't make the words come out of my mouth. Why am I so weak." he suddenly stopped walking and was trying to hold back the tears in his eye.

"I love you so much Kate and I would do anything to be with you" the tears now coming out of his eyes and starting to dampen his fur.

"I would fight any foe to protect you. I would be there and comfort you when you were sad. I will help you when you are struggling" tears now pouring down his face.

"I can't imagine a world when you're not at my side. I love you Kate. Please Kate, give me a second chance to be with you" he said yelling so loud that the birds suddenly scattered, as his words broke the calm peaceful silence that had fallen onto the park.

Humphrey completely broke down and collapsed onto the ground causing the dry dirt underneath him to become dust and formed a small cloud around him.

His mind now racing, unable to handle all the emotions that he was feeling. At the same time, all of his memories of him and Kate were flashing before him.

Playing with her when they were pups, watching her hunt caribou, seeing her at the moonlight howl, being trapped in the cages, meeting Marcel and Paddy, saving her from the mud slide, fighting the bears, talking to her in the train.

Humphrey suddenly couldn't take it anymore and he lunged up and jumped into the stream. The sudden burst of cold water snapped him back to reality and his mind started to ease.

Humphrey then calmly walked out of the stream and laid down on a sunny patch of grass to relax and calm down.

After an hour of lying in the warm sun thinking about Kate he hears a soft rustling sound.

He quickly cleared his mind and tried to focus on the sound, but he couldn't hear it any more.

Just as he started to daydream about Kate again he suddenly heard two voices yell "WOLF PILE!"

Salty and Mooch landed on top of Humphrey knocking the wind right out of him.

Humphrey, gasping for air, was yelling at them to get off him, but the two couldn't hear him because they were laughing to hard.

Humphrey finally yelled, "GET OFF ME" and was able to roll them off of him.

"Whoa Humphrey, I thought you loved wolf piles" said Salty

"Am I really getting fatter, I didn't even think that was possible" questioned Mooch

"No no guys, it has nothing to do with you. It's just that I've had a lot on my mind lately."

"Humphrey, I thought we talked about this already. Kate is with Garth now, an alpha. Alpha and Omegas can't Marry. How many times do we need to tell you" Salty said clearly frustrated.

"I know I know but"

"But nothing" Mooch interrupted, "now that they are married, the two packs are at peace and not in the middle of a war right now."

"Besides Humphrey, if we were at war Kate or anyone you know may not even be alive" said Salty.

"I understand guys, it's just so hard to accept. I loved her so much, but I just couldn't tell her how I felt. I don't even know how she feels about me?"

"Come on Humphrey, cheer up. Things will get better, trust me." said Salty in a clam sympathetic tone.

"Who knows, you may even find another girl that is just as amazing. I mean look at Shakey, we all thought he would be the last one to find a girl and look at him now." Mooch said in an effort to cheer him up.

"Thanks guys, I know your both concerned about me, but I just need some time alone." Humphrey said while looking down at the ground trying to hold back his emotions.

"All right buddy, just remember, we are always here for you. Were you friends and we want you to be happy" said Salty while Mooch was nodding his head in agreement.

"Thanks again guys and I'm sure to keep that in mind" said Humphrey as he walked away.

Humphrey started to walk further down the stream trying to keep his moral up, but he just couldn't stop thinking about Kate.

"It's really starting to get dark, I should find a place to sleep for the night."Humphrey looked around and saw a den in the cliff just up a small hill.

He walked up to the den and saw that it was rather small and had bugs walking around the walls and ceiling.

"Well, it may not be much but it's better than nothing" he said to himself as he tried to get comfortable.

Humphrey laid down trying to get some sleep, but he couldn't stop thinking about Kate and how could she marry Garth.

They didn't even seem to love each other. They only saw each other for only about 10-15 minutes yet they got married.

He continued to think about the two until he fell asleep.

AN: I hope you enjoy so far and choose to keep reading. Again this is my first story so I really want people to tell me what they think. Also updates may not be very frequent (about one every week or two) due to work and school so please have patience.
