Chapter 1 Alpha school

Humphrey's POV

"Wait, where you going?" I asked. Kate giggled and called over her shoulder, "Alpha school, it goes till spring." My voice cracked and I asked, "Spring? But that's… A whole winter away." She shrugged and continued to get further away and I quickly bounded after her when I suddenly hit a gray wall of fur.

I gasped and backed up as I stared at Winston and he said, "I know your Kate's friend Humphrey, but by next spring, she will be a trained alpha. The future leader of the pack." Confused I tilted my head and Winston chuckled and told me, "No doubt you'll be a clever omega, learning to keep the peace."

I promptly ignored him and crouched staring as Kate got further and further away from me. I was about to call out to her when Winston stamped his paw blocking my line of sight and said, "And Humphrey, remind us all to have fun."

I stuttered and responded, "But, but but." He shook his head and plainly told me, "Alphas and Omegas can't ma…" He struggled to find words and asked me, "How do you say it?" I cocked my head to one side and waited expectantly and he cleared his throat and finished, "That's our custom, the law of the pack."

Suddenly out of nowhere I heard someone yell, "WOLFPILE." I was crushed under a pile of fur and laughing I clawed my way out and sadly caught my last glimpse of Kate as she left for alpha school. Just as she jumped over the rocks she giggled and said, "Silly omegas." I smiled and froze as I heard her finish, "To bad I won't get to see the one I love until spring."

I quickly clawed out from under my friends and saw Kate suddenly vanish into the rocks. I whispered, "Did she really mean that?" Salty looked at me strangely and asked, "Mean what?" I quickly shrugged and said, "Mean that she was going away for that long." Salty nodded and told me, "Yea man, she probably did." I lowered my head sadly and Shaky spoke up and said, "Cheer up buddy, you still got us." I smiled and said, "I guess so." Mooch raised an eyebrow and asked, "You guess so?" I laughed and told him, "Alight, but I want to visit her at some point."

Salty quickly shook his head and said, "Whoa man, you can't. Do you have any idea what they'll do to you if you get caught?" I scratched the back of my head and answered, "Well I wasn't planning on getting caught." Shaky groaned and said, "It doesn't matter anyway, she's an alpha Humphrey."

I nodded and replied, "Yea but I still think were friends and besides, I think she would enjoy the little visit." I chuckled to myself and Salty and Shaky shared a look. Mooch sighed and told me, "Humphrey you just can't." Salty sighed and nodded silently. I raised an eyebrow and smoothly said, "I guess you guys are right." Shaky sighed in relief and said, "I'm glad you came to your senses."

I nodded and thought to myself, "I guess that makes me crazy but I'll still be going to see her tomorrow." I asked Salty, "Do you know where the alphas train?" Salty raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you still going?" I shook my head and answered, "Of course not but I want to know how long it will take her to get there."

Salty nodded convinced and answered, "They train over by where the great wolf games are held." I smiled and said, "I remember those all to clearly, I still can see Kate beating Nars at his own game." Shaky laughed and said, "I remember that to, the look on his face was priceless."

I chuckled and said, "Well, I'd better be getting some sleep if we're going to go log boarding again tomorrow." Salty nodded and said, "Alright man, see you tomorrow." I smiled and watched them walk off into the distance. I gave a small sigh of relief as I saw them walk over the hill and yelped as I heard a voice ask, "Your still going aren't you?" I whirled around and exasperated said, "You scared me half to death Lilly."

She smiled and walked out of the shadows and said, "Sorry Humphrey but I think that you should." I was surprised by this and asked, "Why do you think that?" Lilly shrugged and answered, "Because it's the right thing to do, you can't just let alpha school change her."

I coughed and asked, "Change her, what do you mean?" Lilly sadly answered, "Fill her head with lies and make her think responsibilities are everything." I shuddered and asked, "How do you know that could happen?" Lilly plainly answered, "Because I knew a wolf once named Shard and she was a good friend of mine. She was an older wolf and she went to alpha school and become much tougher and never had time for me. Before she was always there for me but not anymore."

I gulped and asked, "And you think the same thing could happen to Kate?" Lilly nodded and replied, "It will and I'm not sure what they do but they change you and fill your head with lies." I closed my eyes and suddenly Lilly had vanished as if she had never been there to begin with. Confused I trotted off towards the Alpha school and thought, "I really hope it's not as far as I remember."
