Ch2: Reality Check Pt2

Kate's POV

The birds chirped and the pups played, as the bright sun crept into my den. Saying I didn't sleep much, or at all last night, this wasn't a bad thing. Normally I would take these sounds and the rays of light in my den as my call to get up. But, frankly all I want to do is sleep at this point. I rubbed my eyes tiredly, breaking myself away from my subconscious thoughts. Or at this point barely-conscious thoughts. I chuckled dryly at my own joke. Shakily I stood up on my four legs, my paw pads still aching from the long journey with Humphrey. Humphrey, oh sweet little Humphrey, what did I do to deserve a friend like you?

I didn't realize this at the time but I said that aloud and to my great luck, my mother just so happened to walk by at the time. I cautiously watched as she slowly approached my den. Yeah, my den. Somehow I convinced my over protective mother that I needed to live on my own and with a lot of begging and some persuasion by my father. By persuasion I mean, well you know sexy time, if you get my drift. Who knew my father could be such a ladies man. Subconsciously a sizable breath was getting held be me, as my mother drew ever so close. I released the breath I didn't know I was holding, and gulped audibly as my mother spoke.

"Kate, dear, why are you talking about Humphrey?" She asked a little too innocently if you ask me.

At that very point I realized I fucked up. My heart rate doubled and my eyes darted from object to object around my den, trying to find a different direction to take this conversation. Sadly my den is nothing more than a hole in a hill. But one card that I can always play if the responsibility card.

"Well, mom, I was just thinking about how I can't talk to Humphrey that much anymore. You know, with all the responsibilities."

She seemed to let up slightly after this, surprisingly she didn't push further on the matter. Against all the odds she stood up and walked away and it didn't end there, again my luck was great to me. So my best friend Jenna just so happens to be walking by, oh wait there's more, she heard the entire thing, everything. I turned to meet her baby blue eyes, which seemed to bore into my amber orbs. A smirk plastered onto her face, somewhat highlighted by her blue and white fur. She slowly walked towards me, almost as if she was hunting, and I was the prey. Now only inches from my face she spoke, and boy what it was creepy.

"So… what was that about?" She question, and I almost felt as if I was being interrogated

I didn't feel like continuing the conversation here, so I did what any responsible alpha would do, I changed the subject. Well not really the subject, knowing how persistent Jenna can be, I merely wanted to change location.

"I'll tell you, if, we go to the lake to talk about it." I replied

She looked back at me skeptically. Not knowing the bombshell I would drop on her once we left the public areas of the pack. Still looking at me with a weird look, she reluctantly agreed.

"Fine, let's go to the lake, but you better tell me what is going on. I worry for your sake Kate"

| Humphrey's POV |

I was walking through the dense, thick forests of the pack grounds. Now most of you will be wondering a couple things. One: Why are you walking around the park grounds, I thought you were depressed. Second: Why did you break the fourth wall, WELL I DONT FUCKING KNOW!

Now to answer your first question, I really don't know why I came outside my den. Well now that I think about it is I'm going to take a bath. Now you'll all be like, 'A bath well that's not a good reason'. Well it is, as long as nobody sees me that is. You see grey isn't my real fur color. It's actually pure white. I hide it because one, I wouldn't fit in, not like I do already. Second: I really don't know the second reason. I mean its white fur, not many wolves have that and plus who would like little old me with the odd fur color. I broke from my thoughts when I hear somebody sobbing hysterically, even louder than I do, somehow. I changed my heading towards the north, east area of the territory.

'Great, towards the alpha lake." I muttered to myself, maybe a little too loud.

As soon as I said this the sobbing almost stopped completely, and whispers started to come up. Thinking I was caught I sprinted towards the omega's bathing place, secretly hoping it was empty.

After not so long of a walk to the lake in question, and by lake I mean small pond. I hoped in somewhat gleefully, almost a little too eager to wash the crushed rocks of my fur. Yeah, crushed rocks. What, don't look at me like that, I had to color it somehow and brown wasn't really my color.

I didn't take me that long to wash out the color; I didn't put that much into my fur. It was really hard to do actually. Because I had to make my fur grey from white, it took me at least an hour a day to do it. Well the good thing is that I don't have to do this anymore, but then again the pack may not accept me, not that they do but hey, a guy can dream. I sighed audibly as I climbed out of the cold, refreshing water. The water on me flew off in all directions as I shook my fur dry.

I quickly turned around to face the cool, reflective water. A pair of unrecognizable icy blue eyes looked back at me. *Sigh* what did I do to myself. I used to be the fun loving, caring omega, who's a friend to everybody. Now I don't talk, I don't socialize in any manner, I barely move at all. The eyes staring back at me are a mere reflection of who I used to be.

But, hey, what's done is done. I'm already teetering on the edge of the breaking point, why not give myself a little push. Shaking the thoughts from my head stood up and turn towards my den once again. I trudged my way through the flat plain just on the outskirts of the pack, on the north side of the pack. The north, my birthplace, my home. The place I have been longing to find. It's been hard, I mean it's the most difficult place to find in all of Canada. I never knew why, or remember for that fact, why they hide the pack grounds. All anybody knows is they have built a tunnel through a mountain to the grounds. The entrance is hidden and even if you do find it it's heavily guarded and most who find it never are heard from again.

That was one thing that always got me; if nobody survived, then who told the tales? But, back to the point, the northern pack is the biggest and the toughest pack in all of jasper. They are all trained from puppyhood to be able to defend themselves, and proudly I am one of those pups. Sadly my training was not complete before I got lost from the pack. But, that's a story for a later time.

Again, I was broken from my thoughts when I heard, again, hysterical sobbing. I used my trained senses to tell where it was coming from and surprisingly it came from, the alpha pond? The alpha pond? Who would go to a public place to bawl their eyes out?

Curiously, I inched forward to the sound of the noise. Sadly the trees and rocks were deluding the sound and obstructing my view, so I crouched on my belly and inched forward. It didn't take me that long to reach a small hill overlooking the alpha pond, or lake as I should say.

I lightly pushed the bushes out of the way to reveal. Kate bawling into Jenna's chest. Kate, crying. Why? I mean she has everything, family, friends, and food. Everything you could ever want. Then again she's here crying hysterically.

I was about to reveal myself when I heard her speak for the first time since I got here. She took a deep breath and spoke.

"I sh-should've told h-him, n-n-now I h-h-h-have to marry Garth." I almost felt bad for her, but, then again she did break my heart.

I made the easiest decision I have ever in my life. Time to spy. I chuckled somewhat evilly at the thought of doing this. Oh, great, I'm turning into my creepy Uncle Phil. Ah, Uncle Phil, you were so creepy. I was brought back to reality when I heard the other female speak.

"Shhh, shhhh. It's okay. You can still tell him, and maybe just maybe, your father will understand and you can be together. It's not like he'll say he doesn't like you, I've seen the way he looks at you." Jenna reassured her, but, I still couldn't understand. Who does she like? It can' be me, I'm an Omega and she has shown no interest to any other alphas.

Shrugging this off as nothing of my concern, I walked back to my den.

Kate's POV

(A few hours later)

Even after lying in my den bawling my eyes out I still had no idea how to approach this. I couldn't just walk up and say, 'Hi, Humphrey, I love you. So the weather right?'. I mean it's not like he would like me back. I was a huge jerk to him. I treated him like crap and didn't even tell him I was getting married for Fenrir's sake. I totally ignored him on the trip back from Idaho, not to mention he saved my life numerous times. He's nice, caring and always knows how to make you smile, even in the most dire of situations. All this brings me back to my previous question; what did I do to deserve Humphrey? Nothing, nothing at all and even through this all Humphrey is s-. Wait, where is Humphrey? What if he died, or, or fell off a cliff? What if the Northern mutts captured him? OH how I hate them. Okay, back to reality. Stay calm, stay calm. Just sleep it off Kate. GET A GRIP. Okay, you really need a reality check.

A/N Sorry guys about the lackluster ending I'm just really tired. Anyways follow, review favorite it helps me a lot. I have a LOT of stuff going on this weekend so there will be no updates for a while, give or take 3-4 days. Well that's it for this A/N and chapter, remember stay toasty my friends.
