(No ones POV)

Finally, the day she had prepared for since day one. Her mission was complete. After today, the two packs would unite and all her previous problems would vanish like ash in the wind. Kate certainly thought so, relief was all this wolf deserved on her most important day ever. Right?

Kate certainly thought so, but her body showed otherwise. Her head pounded, her legs and neck were sore, and her heart throbbed. Images clouded her head from reality that she couldn't claw her way out from, no matter how hard she tried. It was her lover that took over her mind, but not the one she was getting married to.

However, she did not know why Humphrey was invading her head. She had always thought of Humphrey as a best friend and a omega. Maybe a snuggle buddy at times depending on her emotions. But still, he was the one that never left her alone. Even when he wasn't around her.

She stood above on a rock that was overlooking the entire wedding. Here she could easily make out every single detail she wanted to. Many wolves already gathered around even though the ceremony only was one hour away. There were maybe forty to fifty wolves all with different colored coats that ranged from brown to gray to white then to just to black.

The rock in the middle that was meant for her and Garth sat awaiting the couple to complete their marriage on top of itself.

"There... There is where I will be giving myself to a random wolf that I know nothing about." She said to herself. She sighed and shook her head.

Normally she wouldn't mind something like this if it was for the good of the pack like her father always taught her. She always knew that she had to sacrifice something for the pack and awaited to fulfill it, but her body didn't think that it would give up so easily.

The previous night was rough. She hadn't got much sleep and she kept tossing and turning in attempt to get into the right position. However nothing helped her and she was forced to endure the night as her head pondered why she had the deep feeling of guilt as if there was something that she had damaged.

She rubbed a her eyes attempting to wipe the sleep she had in her eyes. Most of her body though showed complete signs of sleep. Her fur was not only knotted but unintentionally curled from all the positions she slept in the previous night. Her mother and father asked if they could help out with the knots but she declined saying she needed to be alone to think. Which she did away from her family and in private. However it didn't help much due to her head aching even harder.

She thought it was all from being tired with the little sleep she had the night before. At least she got rest at least.

Humphrey stayed up all of the night awake and wondering what to do now. His one and only love had left him for some jock of a wolf. Who she never told him about till after they had howled together. The thought of his one and only pained him dearly as well as disgusted him. For so long he planned that his creative mind would find a way to get her to be his mate.

It was at least two years of planning and wondering how he would steal her heart and never give it back that was wasted. Two years where he could find another significant other, but no. She was to important.

He tilted his head down from his previous howl that expressed his sadness. During the middle of the night, he felt a huge wanting... No, needing to let out his sorrows. So he traveled on his weary legs and traveled far from the pack so he could let out his personal pains without any unwanted ears eavesdropping. He stood above most of the forest on a cliff that overlooked most of Jasper. The breeze there slowly lifted his fur and made it flow.

"At least she worth the work." He whispered to himself as he looked at the floor then to his blistered paws. As he stared at his paws, he thought he saw a yellow furred paw hold his but he looked up only to see it was his head. He was starting to go crazy.

She was driving him mad!

He questioned if he would be able to move on without her or her love. His instant reaction was an absolute NO! However after a minute he thought of options on how to move on, his mind came to one. And possibly the only one.

"Maybe death isn't to bad." He said in his head. Then there was the coincidence that he stood at the edge of what looked like a one hundred and fifty foot fall. No doubt it would kill him whether or not it was instant or would require him time to bleed out.

One part of him was for it since the thought of relief from the pain was more tempting than the chance to take Kate for his own. He would rather keep his sanity and die other than going insane.

However, one side told him that he couldn't die yet. As if there was more he could do in the world he lived in. His conscious screamed at him to stop these thoughts but the other side overpowered it to easily.

It had the odds in his favor, Humphrey was deeply hurt and gullible. It could get Humphrey to do anything it wanted. Even if it was the Humphrey's own demise.

He sighed as he agreed with the side that told him to jump. Slowly, he stepped to the cliffs edge. With every step seeming a mile walk, he made it to the edge where he looked down. His stomach almost did a flip at the sight. He was high up and he was going to jump off of it.

Well, if he could muster up the courage.

He gulped as he stood there debating if death was truly the way to solve this.

"What if I could help out Kate with her future family... Or, hangout with Lilly and my gang... Wait..." He said as he looked up to the now rising sun that was half way above the horizon.

"What am I doing?!" He shouted as he backed up a bit from the cliff.

"I am needed... I can't do this..." He said as he turned away from the cliff and began to walk away. But his dark side wouldn't give up so easily. He whispered a small but strong sentence in his head that made his eyes widen and tears started to form in his restless eyes.

He turned around and made his way to the edge once again. However this time, he kept his eyes closed. Since he couldn't see the height of the cliff, he wasn't as scared.

Then slowly, he tilted his body's weight forward as gravity started to take over.

That was until a small, feminine call for help made itself known to him.
