No One's POV-
It was a sunny, beautiful day in Jasper. Wolves were in heaven, but others were in hell. Kate, just barely keeping herself together, had just agreed to marry Garth. Kate thought about telling her father that she loved Humphrey, but she didn't want to disappoint her father, especially since he put in so much work to plan the packs uniting. However, oblivious to Kate, her soon to be mate, Garth, was thinking roughly the same thing, for he fell in love with Lilly while Kate was gone.
Humphrey's POV-
Why? Why? Why? What did I do wrong? I did everything for her. I let her treat me like dirt, I helped her get home, and what do I get, absolutely nothing. I was crazy to think I had a shot with her. She just wants to have a perfect life with Barf. He's a jerk though, always showing off to the ladies about how tough he is. He probably doesn't even like Kate. But maybe, just maybe, she does love me. I mean we howled at the moon. She might just want to marry Barf to unite the packs… nah
"Humphrey, Earth to Humphrey." I heard someone say. When I looked up, I saw Shakey. Shakey has been letting me live in his den for the past 2 weeks since I got back to Jasper. Shakey had always been the type of guy who could be your best friend or your worst nightmare. He has been really nice letting me stay here, but recently, he's been on my nerves. I remember, one day I was supposed to go log sled with the boys, but my imagination got the best of me as I thought of Kate and me at the moonlight howl. Let's just say that Eve wouldn't approve. Anyway, I was caught in my den sleeping. After that, he just wasn't the same. I was heartbroken after Kate agreed to marry Garth.
Flashback
"Yes! And Unite the packs!" I heard Kate say to both packs. I just stood there for a minute, thinking to myself. Kate, who had just got back with me from our journey, just agreed to marry Garth. Normally I'll understand this. I mean Barf and Kate are alphas, right. But there's something different. It's not that she's the most beautiful girl in the universe, it's that she howled with me. Howled, howled, with me. Now that might not seem like a meaningful word, but believe me, it is.
"Humphrey," Shakey said in a soft tone. "Are you okay?".
Shakey had always been one of my greatest friends. In fact, he had been the first person to figure out that I like Kate, other than Lilly. I always shrugged it aside, saying, "No, that's against pack law".
"I don't know, I mean like," I replied but stopped halfway through because I couldn't find the words and I didn't want to make a big scene.
Shakey came over to hug me. I started to cry in his shoulder.
"It's okay Humphrey, it's okay," He replied in a calm tone. "I understand."
End of Flashback
"You're doing it again Humphrey! Even after you promised me you'll stop thinking about her!" Shakey said in a very angry tone. In fact, I hadn't heard that tone since I said something bad about him and caused him to lose a girlfriend.
"Come on Shakey, you of all wolves know that I love Kate and that I can't stop thinking about her," I replied. If Eve was here, RIP my throat.
"You come here to live in my den, my den. The reason I let you live here was that I really wanted to help you overcome your obsession with Kate, and yet, you're clearly not trying!" Shakey said, clearly frustrated. I still had my own den, but chances are that if I stayed there, I would have locked myself in.
"You don't think I'm trying to forget about Kate," I said raising my voice, "I've been trying for this whole week! You know Shakey, I don't expect you to understand this, but it's hard to forget about someone that has been your center of attention for your whole life! And I don't see you trying to help me! All you have done was yell at me for thinking about Kate! I don't think that's what friends are for." I said, catching my breath.
When I looked up, I saw a pissed Shakey standing there, just shaking his head.
"If you have a problem, then you could just leave," Shakey said in a very serious tone.
"You know what Shakey, you've been a great friend, but I'll accept your offer," I said, getting up walking out of the den.
"Go to hell," I heard him say in a very disgusted tone.
"Right back at you," I said right back with no hesitation.
I can't believe this. I thought walking toward my old den. If he was such a good friend, he would have helped me. What did I do to deserve this? I don't know how it could get any worse than this.
"Oh, hey Humphrey." I heard Salty say,
"Hey man, what's up?" I said in a casual tone.
"Nothing, just trying to pick up some girls. What about you?" He replied back.
"Nothing other than me and Shakey not being friends anymore."
"WHAT!" I heard him scream in a shocked tone.
"Yeah, he was being a big jerk to me," I said in a casual tone.
"I can't believe your so… so casual about this. I can't believe we became friends when you came to us you stray. Have a nice life without Kate." Salty said in a salty tone.
Then just like that, I pushed him to the ground. I couldn't believe what he said.
"You will see the day that Kate me are in love and are mates. But for now, we're done, see ya in a couple of months when you're not Salty. Peace." I said, standing over him the whole time.
I can't believe Salty! Back to back friends that I lost! What did I even do to Salty, I mean he doesn't have to go pissing off on me saying I won't be with Kate just because I'm not friends with Shakey anymore. I hope Mooch can talk some sense into him. Mooch! That's it! I'll go see Mooch!
And with that, I walked over to Mooch's den. While I was walking there, I saw wolves cheering.
If only these wolves knew what the real world is like.
After I walked past the group of wolves, I saw Mooch sitting on his den entrance.
"Hey, Mooch," I yelled to him, practically losing my voice.
"Humphrey! Will you like to explain yourself?" He said almost screaming at me.
"Okay, okay, I admit it, I stole your berries yesterday," I said, bracing for a hit.
"WHAT! That's not what I was talking about! You're lucky I'll forget that." He said in a pissed tone.
"What I was talking about is you pushing Salty. What was that for?" He said, expecting an answer.
I didn't respond, for I was afraid that we won't be friends anymore.
"Humphrey, you were like a brother to me, but we don't hit brothers. I'm sorry Humphrey, but we're done. See how you like it." He said to my face.
I was confused for a second, but I understood when he pushed me. I looked at my hand and saw it was bleeding. As I looked up, I saw Mooch running away.
Dammit! Now I have to go see Kate since she lives with her mother and her mother is pack healer. Damn.
When I got to the steps, I saw Kate talking to herself. I leaned in to listen.
"I love Garth. I don't love any other wolf. Only him. I want to be his mate forever." I heard Kate said. I was close to crying.
I knew it! It was all a lie! That's it, I lost my friends and crush, I'm leaving!
And with that, I ran to the train, hoping to start over my life.
