Alpha & Omega

Chapter 1: New day, New Problems

As morning came over the mountains of Jasper Park Canada, light slowly crept into a den. As one of the wolves was sleeping, the morning orange glow crept across the entrance of the den to his face. The wolf opened his eyes to see the morning glow outside. Blinking away the blurriness, he noticed something else glowing next to him. He turned to notice a tan wolf laying right beside him, cuddled into a tan bushy ball. He smiled at what happen last night.

(Flash back)

The moon was at its fullest, covering Jasper Park in a radiant silver glow. It was the Moonlight Howl and everyone was howling. I stood at the top of Howling Rock with her in front of me.

"Are you ready?" I asked nervously.

"Oh yeah, ready." She responded calmly. As we began to howl everyone stopped as soon as they heard our howl joined in perfect melody. We have been howling for at least 3 minutes until I notice we were only ones howling.

(End of Flash back)

Humphrey smiled and stood up trying not to wake up his mate. He slowly walked out of the den and stretched away the weariness. He stood outside and stared at the scenery for a while and turned to check on his mate, just in time to see her get up. Humphrey walked into the den and sat down in front of her,

"Morning sleeping beauty." He said to her with a smile. Kate opened her eyes to see a gray and white wolf sitting in front of her.

"Morning Hun." said Kate as she stretched.

"How long have you been up?" she said, tilting her head to the side.

"About 5 minutes." Humphrey said with a sly smile staring at Kate's amber eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Kate worried.

"Nothing, just seeing how cute you look while you slept." Kate blushed at the comment before looking away.

"Why did I have to say that?" Humphrey thought.

"Well, I should ask my dad if I got any Alpha duties toda…"

"That won't be necessary." A voice answered from the entrance of the den. Humphrey jumped at the voice and turned around to see who it was.

"Agh!...Oh…um…morning Winston…sir…uh." Humphrey said stuttering.

"It's ok Humphrey; I just wanted to check on how you two were doing after the howl?" Winston said with a smile.

"Fine dad, me and Humphrey were just talking. What really brings you here dad?"

"Just two reasons, I wanted to let you know Kate that Hutch, Cando, Garth, and three other alphas are going to catch breakfast." As if on cue Humphrey's stomach growled alerting Winston and Kate. All three wolfs shared a laugh and Humphrey looked at Winston.

"What's the second reason?" asked Humphrey. Winston looked at Humphrey with a 'can I talk to you in private?' look on his face. Humphrey was confused at what Winston was doing.

"Ahem…" coughed Winston letting Humphrey know to follow him. Humphrey finally understood and stood up.

"What are you doing?" Kate asked, stopping Humphrey.

"Wait in here I'll be back, I promise." Humphrey said as he kissed her cheek.

Kate blushed and licked his cheek and began to nibble on his ear.

"Okay, hurry back I want to show you something." whispered Kate into his ear. Humphrey understood what she meant and wagged his tail.

"Oh… I'm coming Winston sir!" yelled Humphrey and slowly turned around and walked off. Kate dozed off topic while looking at Humphrey leave. Kate stood at the entrance and looked at the grey wolf she loved walked off.

"Look at you… smart, funny, and attractive. Just the thought of him makes my heart melt." Kate shook her head from the thought and lied in the entrance of the den waiting for him. Humphrey saw Winston near the small pond a few meters outside the den. Humphrey was behind Winston when he spoke without turning around.

"I understand you love her and I respect that…" Winston turned around to look at Humphrey. "… but mating season is only a month away…" Humphrey forgot about it, every female would be in heat.

"I'm not here to yell at you or threaten to kill you like my wife, but just to warn you of the outcome." said Winston.

"I understand sir, and if Kate wants pups I'll be there by her side no matter what happens."

"I know you'll be a great father, Kate told me about you and the bear cub." Winston chuckled.

"She loved how you are with kids, well a bear cub in that case, she really adores you."

"I promise sir to be by her side 100%" Humphrey said with confidence.

"I know you will Humphrey; I've watched you when you were a pup. You always keep your promise and always there for someone in a time of need. I've also notice how fond you are of Kate." Humphrey was shocked to hear that coming from his father-in-law. Suddenly there was a snap in the woods. Humphrey turned around quickly and scanned the area. He didn't see anything, just the den, and a hollow tree next to it. Humphrey heard another snap and turned to see Winston in a defending stance.

Then out of nowhere a dark brown blur jumped on Humphrey from a tree that was fallen over beside him. Humphrey was scared stiff thinking he was going to die without telling Kate he loved her one last time. He was on his back with the unknown wolf on him choking him to death. With his eyes blurry from the tears running down his face, he couldn't see who the wolf was. Soon he noticed a dark grey wolf tackle the brown blur.

"Eve! What are you doing!" shouted Winston holding Eve down.

"Honey... he's still breathing." Eve said calmly. Kate heard the commotion and darted out of the den to see Humphrey on his back crying and trying to breath and her dad pinning down her mom. Kate rushed to his side, just to get grabbed and held by Humphrey, crying into her shoulder. Kate was surprised by his speed but didn't care and held him, trying to comfort him by saying,

"It's ok I'm here. Don't worry I'll always be here." Kate looked at her mom frustrated,

"What did you do to him! He never cried like this!" Kate yelled at her, Eve was shocked to hear her yell at her.

"I heard what he said, that you were going to have pups!" Eve yelled back. Humphrey just sat there holding onto Kate crying.

"We never did anything and Humphrey would never force me to do something like that!" Kate finished. She kept trying to calm Humphrey down while she held him. Winston let his mate go when she wasn't that mad and talked with her in private.
