1-Pain is Temporary, Heartbreak is Eternal

Chapter 1:
Training

(AN- hey it's SilverWolf1500 here. I don't know how this story is going to go. I am rating this M for the violence. There might be some suggestive themes in later chapters. I don't know. Please check out my best story, Love Without Hope. You will not be disappointed. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Alpha and Omega characters. I do own my own plot and my OC's. It's here! Enjoy the sequel!)

Humphrey's POV:

"98...99...100! Ugh!" I wipe my forehead with my paw.

Kate nudges me. "Quit slacking, you only did 7."

"These tree squats are grueling work!" I say.

She yells at me through her strain. "Your tree is hollow!"

It has been a few days since Lilly came back and she isn't herself. I thought she was going to have alpha skills with an omega personality, the perfect wolf. Now she has omega skills with an alpha personality, a useless wolf.

"I'm gonna take a break to my den." Kate tells me. she walks home and I continue my work out. Kate and I aren't mates yet. We have separate dens.

Lilly walks up to me. I throw my log on the ground and Lilly picks it up. I keep pushing the issue. "Why bother train if you won't Hunt?"

She looked at me with a sort of pained look. "Because caribou don't fight back."

"So... You would kill a wolf?"

"Only if it swipes first."

I get really steamed at the way she is acting. "The other wolf's first swipe is at your throat, killing you!"

She looks at me with a look that makes me want to slap it off her face. She throws the log in my direction. I jump and kick it, a move Kate taught me. The log snapped in half long ways. Alright! I just made two sick log sleds!

Wait, Lilly attacked me. "What was that for!"

I run up to her, put my paws on her shoulder, and I shake Lilly. "Where is the old Lilly I knew and loved?"

She looks at me, wavering. Then she breaks down and starts crying. What did I do?

"What is wrong?" I put my arm around Lilly.

She pulls herself together for a few sentences. "Ever since my parents gave up the alpha school to the eastern pack, they beat us if we did something wrong. If we weakened, we would have been whipped."

She brushes some of her fur up to reveal long red marks.

"Oo. Ow." I feel so bad for Lilly.

"I-I just feel that they are going to come back and whip the tar out of me if I weaken." these eastern pack wolves have permanently scarred Lilly. My Lilly.

I start growling. Every eastern wolf will die in this war. Nobody hurts my best friend and gets away with it.

I lift the tree that Kate was using and I go for it. I don't know how long I am lifting the log for, but when I'm done I feel like collapsing.

Lilly was training alongside me, trying to keep pace with me. This little competition didn't work out for her. When she was done she actually collapsed.

I slid under and lifted. I could barely manage to get her up. It isn't that she is heavy, it's that my muscles have already have been worked to their max.

Oof. I'm not going to make it to Lilly's den. I'm going to have to bring her to my den.

We slump on the floor together and drift off into a deep slumber.

"What is going on here?" I hear someone growl.

"Huh?" I wake up and see Kate glaring at me and Lilly.

"Now, before you do anything stupid, hear me out." I raise my paw to calm her.

"Ok, how did this happen?" she asks, trying to be patient.

"Well, when you took a break I kept working these bad boys," I flex, making Kate roll her eyes. "Lilly walked up to me. We talked, she threw a log at me, I made her cry, we kept doing tree squats until Lilly passed out, dragged her here and I passed out also."

"Ok, I trust you. But why did you make my sister cry?"

"Ask Lilly. She is going through a tough time and you will need to talk to her."

"Tough time?"

"The eastern pack whipped her when she made a mistake, look." I brush Lilly's fur up to reveal the red marks. Kate gasps.

"I swore that the eastern pack will die for what they did to Lilly, that's why I did a ton of tree squats. She joined in as a friendly competition."

Kate looks touched. Then her expression changes. "So you won't train for the good of the pack, only to avenge your friend?"

"I'll do it for the good of the pack as an extra little bonus."

She hits me on the side. "You are so bad." she giggles.

Then her tone gets serious. "One lap around our territory."

"All the way around! Who do you think I am? You?"

She laughs. "Don't worry, I'll be next to you the whole time."

"Oh really, you have no faith in my speed?"

"Not one bit."

"You're on!" I say as I start running around. Leaving Lilly to sleep in my den.

"Wow," Kate pants. "You are doing better than I thought."

"Well, running up mountains to log sled and playing tag helps." I pant.

I laugh and add an extra burst of speed. Man, I'm flying. I round a turn and collide into a wolf. "Hey, watch where you are standing." I joke.

He jabs me in my neck and the last thing I think is 'me and my big mouth'. And I slip into the darkness.

(AN-Major Cliffhanger! Oh man that sucks for you. Keeps you wanting more though. I'm used to writing long chapters for my story- Love Without Hope- which you should check out if you haven't already, so this chapter seems short to me. Well, your wait is finally over with the first chapter of the sequel written. I hope that this story will be a good one. Until next chapter, let's celebrate this new beginning. -SilverWolf1500)
