Chapter One

The Arrival Of Pups and a shadow in the forest

Narration

It was a beautiful day in Jasper park, the birds were chirping and the sun was glistening. Despite this, a chilling breeze still made the park its home. Kate was in labor with her and Humphrey's beautiful pups and the gang was celebrating the occasion. Things seemed to be perfect but such things are merely and illusion.

Humphrey's POV:

I was pacing back and forth anxiously to meet my new pups. I heard Kate scream from inside our den and I started to become worried about her. Then I felt a paw on my shoulder and turned around, only to discover it was Lilly.

"Don't be so worried, she will be fine and besides, when this is over you get to meet your new pups!" She squealed in excitement. When she said that it made me happy and I started to think about names for our pups. While doing so, I saw Eve walk out of the den.

"Congratulations Humphrey, you are the father of two beautiful boys and a gorgeous girl." She said before she started to walk to the river to wash up.

I started to celebrate for the birth of my pups, cheering and jumping around before going inside. Garth, Lilly, Winston, and Tony followed me inside to see my new pups and, for one, their new grand pup. I saw Kate lying on the ground with our new pups drinking from her, so I walked up to her and kissed her. "You did great honey, look at our new pups." I said as I looked at our new pups.

The first pup was our daughter who had tan fur like her mother and brown eyes. The second pup had dark gray fur with a light gray underbelly like me. Our third and final pup had light gray fur with a white underbelly much like Kate's father, Winston. Kate looked at me "Yeah they're beautiful... but I need to rest Humphrey. We can discuss the names for them tomorrow." She said to me before letting out a sigh She gentled laid her head down and drifted off to sleep.

I stared at her and smiled before tears of joy slowly began to run down my face. Winston walked up to me and put his paw around my shoulder.

"Congratulations Humphrey on the new pups. I'm so happy to have some grand pups." He admitted as he and the others began to leave. Once they were all gone I turned back to my wife. He walked up to her side and laid down, making sure not to disturb her or the pups. As I fell asleep next to the love of my life and our babies, I felt a grin spread on my face-I couldn't have been any happier.

Unknown POV:

I had been lying down near the alpha's den. I had watched the others leave the couple and their new born pups. Once they were gone, I crept up to the den and peaked inside. I could see the female, the pups and Humphrey. I realized I had not yet offered him my congratulations over his good fortune.

"So... Humphrey and his wife had pups. Congratulations." I said, mostly to myself as I didn't plan on him waking up. I moved away from the opening of the den to a more hidden side of it. It would be harder to hear my work from there. I started carving a symbol into the stone on the side of their den. I had heard the humans call it the symbol of anarchy and while I don't know what it stood for to them, I made it stand for me.

The longer I carved into the stone, the more disturbance I caused those inside. I could here Humphrey stirring from his slumber, so I hid. He made his way outside and wait for a moment, peering around in confusion. After a moment, he went back inside-content with resuming his sleep. I waited for a bit before checking the inside of the den to ensure he was fast asleep. Once I saw he indeed was, I resumed my work and finished carving the symbol into his home.

I didn't take time to admire my handy work, I had more important things to attend to. I made my way back into the brush I had emerged from. I took caution not to make noise and alert the den's occupants. Before leaving the area, a chanced a glance back at the den. The alpha den stood in all of its glory, like before but this time the mark was on it-my mark.

"Looks like your pups weren't your only visitors... Humphrey." I whispered to myself before heading deeper into the forest. Even I couldn't hide the malicious grin that had found its way onto my face...
