POV Humphrey
"Paddy, how far from Idaho are we?" Humphrey asked from the train car.
"Just around this next turn you should be able to see the golf course." Paddy responded dodging trees and signs.
Humphrey jumped off the train and met up with the birds at the golf course, "Would you guys know where there would be a good den around here?"
"Yes, if you follow the river North a little ways you will find a hill with an unused den there." Paddy Replied putting another ball down.
"Alright thanks guys I'll see you around." Humphrey walked towards the den they described.
POV Kate
"Kate, why can't you marry Garth?" Winston asked sadly.
"I'm in love with another wolf." Kate said with saddened voice as the memories of her and Humphrey came flooding in.
"And who is this other wolf?" Tony asked strictly.
"An… Omega " Kate said with her head hung low knowing full well that this going to turn out bad.
"I'm also in love with an omega." Garth spoke looking straight at the omega he fell in love with.
"This is an outrage, it's pack law that alphas and omegas cannot mate." Tony growled.
"TAKE THE VALLEY!" Both packs attacked each other.
Kate, Garth and Lilly Sitting off to the side not wanting this to happen.
"Lilly, go to the train tracks and see if you can catch Humphrey before he gets on, Garth come with me we're going to stop this madness." Kate ordered as Lilly ran towards the train tracks and the two alphas ran towards the pack leaders that were fighting with each other.
Garth and Kate just reached the group of the leaders as a voice called out "STAMPED!".
A large group of caribou were running straight at the two packs "GET TO THE SIDES OF THE VALLEY!" Winston called out.
Complete and utter confusion as wolves ran in every direction.
once the pack was out of the way. "Hutch do a roll call see who's missing." Winston ordered.
A few Minutes Later. "WINSTON, KATES STILL OUT THERE!" Garth yelled from across the valley.
"HUTCH! Is this true?" Winston turned to him. He only nodded.
Eve and Winston jumped right back into the dust in search for their missing daughter.
After the dust finally cleared and the last of the caribou were past, the whole pack ran into the valley in search for her.
"OVER HERE!" Garth yelled after running back to the spot he last seen her.
Winston and Eve were there in a split second.
"Kate?" Eve asked sadly as she cleaned the dust of her. She clearly had a broken leg and was unconscious.
Eve put her ear up to her side. "She's still alive, carry her home I'll go get some help." as Eve ran off to find the pack healer.
Garth and Winston picked her up and carried her to their den.
POV, HUMPHREY
He found the den which has a main area that could fit a bear in and three side rooms like bedrooms.
"I've never hunted before." Humphrey thought freaking out thinking about how's he going to feed himself.
"Well better train myself to be an alpha." Humphrey talking to himself. Walking out of his den towards the river thinking of workouts and ways to train himself. Humphrey decided to swim back and forth across the river would be a good start.
3 hours of this and he was tired. On his way back he heard bushes moving and the sense of being watched "Who's there?" Humphrey growled.
Not a sound but then Humphrey started to hear whimpering sounds from a bush behind him.
He looked through the bush to see three little wolf pups balled up scared to death of him.
"It's alright, I won't hurt you." Humphrey said nudging the three pups.
When he did that one made a sound of pain. "You're hurt. Let me see." He pushed the two off too the side and looked at the grey pup that had a cut that was bleeding a lot.
"I'm going to push this leaf onto you to stop the bleeding, okay?" As he did, the pup screamed in pain.
But the blood stopped flowing and the pain subsided. "Thanks mister." The one pup said walking up to his hurt sibling.
"No problem, so where's your mo.." Humphrey was interrupted with a loud growl and tackled to the ground by a full size wolf that was trying to get the bite on his neck.
Humphrey was too tired to put up a fight and just gave up, so he left his neck open as the attacking wolf went for his neck. "MOM STOP!" a pup yelled.
Humphrey ears perked up staying still listening to the pup. "Mom, he was helping Leo with a cut he got on his leg."
"He didn't hurt you guys?" The attacking female asked.
"No, he had to stop the bleeding on his leg." Another pup said coming out of the bush clearly a female.
"Mister, is this true?" The mother asked.
"Yes, I was heading home when I heard him cry in pain." Humphrey said fearing his life.
The attacking wolf was about to reply. "Mom, it still hurts." Leo the injured pup said limping out of the bush.
"Okay, I believe you, but before I let you go, who are you? " The mom wolf asked still holding Humphrey down.
"I'm Humphrey, and I moved here not too long ago." Humphrey replied kind cheerful that he's still alive.
"Well Humphrey, I thank you for helping my son, and I'm Jill, nice to meet you." Jill replied getting off him and walking over to her pups.
"Nice to meet you too, so do you guys live around here?" Humphrey asked getting off the ground and cleaning the dust off himself
"No, we were relocated here by humans this morning." Jill said while cleaning Leo's cut.
After Humphrey finally got a good look at Jill. "I've seen you before, where are you from?" Humphrey asked.
"Well, I'm from British Columbia Canada, why do you ask?" Jill said.
"Did your parents get killed in a war about six years ago?" Humphrey asked sadly.
"How did you know that?" Jill a little creeped out from this.
"Did you lose a brother that day too?" Humphrey asked with a tear running down his muzzle.
"Yes, I never did find him, how do you know all this?" Jill looked Humphrey over twice. "Is that you brother?" Jill asked.
"I saw mom when she was being attacked and she told me to run to a friend at another pack in Alberta." Humphrey said full out crying now.
Jill ran up and hugged him. "I've missed you!"
A few minutes went by. "But we must not regret the past we must focus on the future, so you guys need a place to stay?" Humphrey asked.
"Yes, that would be nice, but help me drag this caribou that I managed to kill back with us" Jill said putting the pups on her back.
POV Lilly
"Kate, please wake up." Lilly said nudging her sisters sleeping body that now had a piece of wood to hold her leg.
"Lilly is that you?" Kate asked.
"Where's Humphrey?" Kate asked looking around the den still not moving her body.
"He was on the train before I got there, I'm sorry Kate." Lilly said laying down beside her.
"Well lets go get him!" Kate said determined to find her love. She tried to stand but found it brought extreme pain.
"You aren't going anywhere for the next two months." Eve said walking into the den with some water.
"But Humphrey is out there by himself!" Kate started crying. "And the only one that knows how to get to him is me, and I'm stuck here!" Kate said.
"I know honey, but I've got some good news, Garth and Lillys wedding will unite the packs, that means when you do find him you can marry him no question asked." Eve said helping Kate drink the water.
POV Humphrey
"This is my den. One room for you guys, one for the meat, and one for me." Humphrey said pushing the meat into the small room.
"Uncle, this place is large compared to our old place." Leo Said as he was sat down on the floor by Jill.
"Before we call it bedtime, what are your guys names?" Humphrey asked looking at the three pups.
"Well you know Leo, the grey one, then that brown one is Jeff, and the blonde one is Kate." Jill replied.
"Well nice names, and I'm going to talk to your mom for a while, so off to bed." Humphrey said pushing the three to there room.
Humphrey walked to the entrance of the den followed by Jill. "So what happened to you after you got to Jasper" Jill asked.
"Well, I met this wolf named Kate, and we got pretty close, so it was all a normal life right up until yesterday when she had to marry to join the packs, and I just left." Humphrey clearly showing sadness.
"And what of you after mom's death?" Humphrey asked.
"Well I ran into this family of wolves that took me in and raised me, and I fell in love with their son, so we married and had those three, but then I was at a river one day bathing them and the next thing I know I'm getting let of a cage just over there" Jill pointed to the river with tear running down her face.
"Well I see both our story's are very emotional, I'm going to turn in for tonight" Jill said walking away
POV Kate
"Garth can you help me out side" she asked Garth who was bringing food in.
"your mom said not to move you " Garth said.
"GARTH DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO NOT TO FEEL THE SUN ON YOUR FUR FOR A WHOLE WEEK?" Kate yelled at him.
Garth didn't say another word just helped her out of the den to sit in the sun for the day
POV HUMPHREY
A week went of Humphrey training, playing with the pups and more training
You could clearly see muscles on Humphrey's body know and he was able to hunt for Jill and her pups.
"Good night guys "Humphrey said walking past Jills room and out of the den towards the river. But there was a pair of eyes watching him get a drink at the river.
Humphrey noticed this but did nothing just did his thing then on the they back and he was closer to the bush that the eyes were hiding in, he lunged for the bush pushing the wolf out of the bush and pinned him to the ground in the moonlight.
" I mean you no harm" the wolf cried as Humphrey got off him
"Why are you here? "Humphrey asked not turning his back to the wolf.
" well I was looking for my wife and I followed her scent to this area" he said getting off the ground
"you wouldn't be Greg would you" Humphrey asked
" yes, how did you know?" Greg replied
"ok so what is your mates name?" he asked making sure this wolf was who he said he was
"Her name is Jill and I've followed her scent here from Canada" Greg said still scared of this wolf in front of him.
"Follow me" Humphrey stated leading him back towards his den
"You know where she is don't you "Greg Asked
"yes" Humphrey stated as they reached the entrance of the den " stay here" he walked into the den out of sight of the wolf and into Jill's room and nudged her awake " Jill there's someone here for you".
Jill was too tired to reply just followed Humphrey out to the front of the den "Jill is that you?"
She knew that voice "GREG" she ran straight to him for a hug "I've missed you" she said snuggled up to him.
Humphrey just turned and went to bed.
"Jill who was that "Greg saw the sudden face change of Humphrey when Jill hugged him
"That is my long lost brother Humphrey, why?" she asks lying on top of her mate
" well he looked so sad when you hugged me" Greg said
"Well it's a long story but he went from having no family and the love of his life to having me but no mate, I think that he thinks that you will take me away from him" Jill said playing with Greg chest hair
"Well he protected my family for me so I owe it to him and I can see he needs you so we're not going anywhere" Greg said standing up " I'll talk to him tomorrow, where are the kids' Greg asked
"Well there sleeping so you will be a morning surprise" Jill said leading Greg to her room
POV KATE
"Dad is there any sign of Humphrey? "Kate asked Winston that was coming back from another hunt.
"No Kate but he is a smart omega and he will be fine" Winston said knowing that it's going to turn into another fight that happen every day now
"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT HE'S OK, HE COULD BE DEAD OR HURT AND NEEDS HELP" Kate yelled frustrated that she couldn't do anything.
Winston never replied just left her to thoughts and sent Lilly and Garth to keep her company
"Kate lets go to the river to get some fresh air" Lilly said helping Garth pick her up
They set her down on the sand close to the water "so how are you feeling Kate?" Garth asked nicely.
"GO AWAY" Garth was surprised by this but Lilly waved from him to go he just walked away.
"Kate yelling at us isn't going to bring him back" Lilly said nicely.
"its not that, its I've got this feeling that something bad happen to him" Kate said putting her head down.
"Kate there is no way to be sure" Lilly said.
"There's no way to be sure that he's alive" Kate said coldly.
POV GREG
I woke up to the sound of someone walking bye. I looked up to see Humphrey hanging his
head low walking out of the den" Jill I'm going to talk to him" as I left and follow from a distance till we got to the river.
"Why so sad Humphrey ?" Greg asked walking to him
"The love you two share reminds me of my old life" Humphrey said with tear slipping out.
Greg was in complete shock of how fast he confessed " well I know what it's like to lose someone but you can't change the past" Humphrey only nodded " Jill and I decided to stay here, I'm not a hunter but if there any other kinds of work that need to be done just ask"
POV Humphrey
"Well we could use another alpha would you be willing to train to become one?" Humphrey said sitting up looking more dominate.
"Yes I would train to become an alpha I would hate to make you do all the hard work" Greg replied surprised at the offer
"Alright then go enjoy today with your pups tomorrow to you train" Humphrey said as he jump into the water for his work out.
Greg walked back into the den to be tackled by three pups "hey guys I've missed you" as he play fought the two boys.
"So Hun everything go good with Humphrey?"Jill asked
