(Note: Humphrey IS secretly an alpha but he still looks like an omega. Only Kate, Winston, and Eve know about this)
Aaron sat in shock with mixed emotions of anger and sadness within his mind. The girl he had a crush on ever since they met had just said that she had a mate. His world was starting to fall apart right before his eyes.
"You have a mate now?" Aaron said hoping he didn't hear what Kate said right.
"Ya, Me and Humphrey were relocated to Idaho and on the way back we fell in love and eventually got married." Kate explained wondering why Aaron had shock written all over his face.
"But… he's an omega Kate. I thought it was against pack law to let alphas and omegas be mates. I'm pretty sure you two can't be together." Aaron said but immediately wished he didn't because it made Kate blow up in his face.
"Are you telling us we can't love each other!?" Replied Kate as she snarled at Aaron.
Aaron had seen how Eve was and could clearly tell that Kate took after her. "N-No, sorry Kate."
"Kate calm down, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to say what he said." Humphrey said while Kate trying to calm her down but at the same time gave Aaron a slightly angered look.
"Kate I'm dearly sorry that I said that, I wasn't thinking. I'm glad you two are together, now excuse me but I have to go look at my new den." Max said as he started to walk out before he was stopped by Humphrey.
"Wait just a minute, you said you were going to your new den. Does that mean your joining the pack?" Humphrey said while hoping that he would say no and be on his way.
"ya, I'm joining the pack but I really got to go." Replied Aaron as he left Kate and Humphrey's den.
Before Aaron left Kate and Humphrey's den he said that he was glad that the two of them were together but in reality he was furious. He stormed into his den screaming and clawing the ground in front of him which gained the attention of a few wolves before they continued on their way. "How could she marry a pathetic omega!?" He kept screaming at himself while thinking about all the ways he could have had her. "If I would have just stayed in Jasper after alpha school instead of going out on my own I could have had her." Aaron continuously blamed himself over why he would never be with Kate. He couldn't take it, he needed someone else to blame, and he knew exactly who to blame, Humphrey. "If that stupid omega wasn't here right now I would probably be living my life with the girl of my dreams. All I need to do is take out this Humphrey somehow." He was thinking of a way that he could get rid of Humphrey. Then it hit him, all he needed to do was get Humphrey away from Kate for a while doing whatever he normally does, then when Kate wants to talk to him he will be there instead and eventually she will start to grow feelings for him. "Soon I'll be with you Kate and you will forget all about that pathetic omega."
Kate and Humphrey
"I honestly can't believe Aaron would say something like that." Kate was still angry at what Aaron had said about her relationship with Humphrey. She never imagined him saying anything like that to her because he was always nice to her. Sometimes she thought he was a little bit too nice.
"Kate I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to say that. Anyway I really don't see what the problem is since I'm not an omega. I mean sure I may look like an omega but I'm not." Humphrey said as he was trying to cheer her up still.
"I know that you're not an omega but an alpha now but that's not the point. The point is that even if you were still an omega I would still love you and he has no right to say that I can't be with you over a stupid title." Kate said still with a slightly angry tone. After a few minutes of Kate and Humphrey talking Kate got up and walked towards the den entrance.
"I have to go patrol the border now so see you later tonight." Kate said as she started walking out of the den before she was stopped by Humphrey.
"Can I please go with you, I normally just have to sit in our den when you're gone because I have nothing to do." Humphrey said with a small smile.
"Sure thing." She said as she gave Humphrey a warm smile and continued walking with Humphrey behind her.
