After All, Love Will Prevail

Chapter 1: Because of you….

Kate's POV:

Days and days have gone by and I still haven't heard anything from my Humphrey. I spend my days alone in our den thinking of all we've done together since the moment we met, wishing I could be with him right now. I understand his reasoning, but I don't like it at all. There are so many things we have done together that I just could never do with another wolf. Humphrey's my one and only life time mates, without him, everything feels lonely. I feel lonely, lost, broken. Who knows what that bitch is making him do with her. I scream out and lash at the wall bursting into tears. I cry? Yes I cry and cry to the moon to bring my mate home, to bring him back to me. I don't want to be stuck here thinking he'll never return. I want to be with him for eternity, bare our legacy with him, grow old with him, and die standing by his side. I have almost lost hope that he won't ever return, and if he does, things won't be the same. My mom and dad bring me food because I won't go hunt. The only wolves in the pack I even talk to anymore besides my parents are Lily, Trace, Lanii, Marcel, and Paddy. Trace and Kiyah finally got married as well as Greg and Lanii. Trace and Kiyah has three pups of their own that Kiyah birthed two months after we left Humphrey. That's right, Humphreys been gone for 6 and a half months. It's really hurting my hopes for him to return to me. Lanii is pregnant. We just found out last week, but she is really showing. My mom says she will have up to 5 pups. That's a lot of mouths to feed. I can only talk to them one on one. If, for instance Lanii and Greg come to talk to me together I feel like im about to break down. They understand though. It's hard losing someone you love. I've never had anyone like Humphrey, and in the 6 and a half months he has been gone, I have had 9 males come up to me and try to claim me and get with me. I just need him back. He completes me in ways no one has or ever will. He's my husband, my partner, my life time mate, my… everything. I need him. I keep ranting in my thoughts until someone disturbs me.

"Kate, its me." A voice came from outside my den, knocking me back into reality. I turned towards the entrance only to find my adoring sister, Lily.

"Hey sis." I sounded sad and depressed. No shit? No I thought I sounded pitifully happy! She smiled weakly at me and walked in.

"I just came by to see how you were doing and wanted to talk to you." she told me. I glared at the ground, not wanting to dwell on the aching pain I had in my heart. Already knowing what she wanted to talk about I tried to push her away.

"Lily, I'm really in no mood to talk." I told her honestly.

"Oh Kate, you never are." She was right though. That was always my excuse. Note to self…find new excuse. "Don't give me any of that 'I'm tired' bullshit either. You've been in here for weeks, plenty of time for sleep and for you to be left alone. You've only left to bathe. Your going to talk to me. After all, I am your sister. I love you, Kate. Please don't shut me out." She pleaded. I sighed and waited. She sighed. "I guess I'm wasting my time." She stands up and starts to walk out with her head down. She mumbled something but I couldn't make out what she said. I cleared my throat.

"Lily." I spoke. She stopped and turned to face me, looking into my tear filled eyes. "It hurts. Do you know what it feels like to know exactly where your mate is and not be able to do anything or to be with him, to feel this broken inside? No! You don't! You have Garth, Lanii has Greg, and Trace has Kiyah. I feel so lost and so lonely. I can't take it. I need him here with me NOW!" I wailed. She came over to me and pulled me into a hug. I, the greatest alpha ever, was crying on my little sisters shoulder. She let me. It took a while for me to calm down, but eventually I calmed down enough to a silent weeping.

"Kate, I know you feel this way, but do you honestly think Humphrey would want you to fell like that or would even think of never returning? I'm pretty sure he'd want you to be all you can be, even if he isn't here. Kate, your so strong and so beautiful. I was always jealous of you." she told me, which shocked the hell out of me. I was about to ask why when she continued. "I have that now. Someone that tells me I'm beautiful. Humphrey will return, Kate. I beg you to overcome your depression. Look to the future. He will be back. Think positive. He loves you for crying out loud. He would want you to be strong, for him." Lily stopped and smiled sadly at me. I nodded knowingly and allowed a small little genuine smile creep across my face.

"Want to go for a little walk, Lily? I could use some exercise and fresh air." I said. She smiled at me. I returned it. "Lead the way." I told her.

"Sure, Kate lets go." She smiled. We walked together around the pack, talking and having a good time. We saw a lot of familiar faces along the way. It was great to get out and stretch a little. Maybe Lily is right, maybe this is what Humphrey would want, for me to fight the depression. I miss you, Humphrey. Please come home soon. I smiled to myself and continued to have a blast with my sister. We met up with Trace, Kiyah, Lanii, and Greg. It was good to see those guys. We had a blast and hung out all day, and at the end of the day I can honestly say that I was tired and wanted to rest. I climbed back up into mine and Humphrey's den and drifted off to a sleep where I could be with the one I loved peacefully.
