Fear. That's all Humphrey felt as he ran through the forest. He dodged trees left and right, and jumped over rocks. The rain pelted his skin like bullets, but he kept going. He heard the familiar bone-chilling roar from behind him, and his blood went cold.
He didn't dare turn around or stop, and instead kept on running. His feet splashed against puddles on the ground, but soon skidded to a halt, he nearly ran off a cliff. He looked over the edge. The drop was easily 200ft or more. He was trapped between the perfect predator, and a death drop...
What's that? You want me to start from the beginning? If you say so...

It was spring. And Kate had left for alpha school. Humphrey was depressed and bored. His friends were sick with pollen, and he had nothing to do.
Humphrey lazily got up, and wandered into one of the many Jasper park forests. He was walking around as normal, when suddenly, he saw a bright light between the trees. He got low to the ground and snuck over. He saw a large portal of light floating in the air.
He got up and investigated the strange portal. He sniffed it, and strangely, it didn't have a sent. He heard a crack from behind him and he wheeled around. Nothing was there.
When he turned back around, the portal was gone. He dismissed it as a hallucination, and called in sick for around a week. A month or so later, Kate returned, and a few weeks after that, Kate and Humphrey had their journey, and soon after that, they got married. However...their perfect life was about to be shattered like a base ball going through glass, and that time would be nothing but a pleasant memory in a reality of death...

It was a warm spring day. Humphrey was in his usually happy mood. It was Kate's day off and he couldn't wait to spend the day with her. His thoughts were cut off by Winston's howl. Humphrey knew that it would be important based on the tone of the howl, and ran down to the meeting area.
He joined a crowd of wolves who surrounded Winston, who was standing on the marriage rock, next to what looked like a horribly mutilated caribou.
"I have called you all here today for a reason..." he started. "Today, my son in law Garth recovered the corpse of this caribou. Based on analysis by my wife Eve, the wounds inflicted on this animal are far worse than any wolf could inflict..." he gestured to the caribou that had been brutally killed, and partially eaten.
" Eve also recovered these teeth from the corpse..." Winston said, holding up teeth about 1.5 times larger than any wolfs canine, and razor sharp. "If any of you find teeth like these anywhere, please let me, Eve, or Tony know. Please be careful and alert while doing your daily duties, especially the alphas. That is all." said Winston as he turned, and walked back to the alpha den with the other head alphas.
"Be careful? Ha! Nothing can beat me!" yelled Garth, who was as humble as ever (sarcasm). Little did he know that something was watching them all from only a short distance away. It's eyes dilated and became slits.
The hunt was on...
