Chapter 2 : Rapist On The Run

The sun rises from the mountains, its powerful light flowing up the green land infront of it like a wave of the sea. Kate began to open her eyes as the morning sunlight shone on her face and she raised her head. Humphrey was still asleep, but she strange sickness isn't cured yet. She was sweating a lot and it never stopped, creating an uncomfortable feeling for her. She then decided to go for a swim in the pond, but a question popped up in her mind. What about her duties? She was suppose to make a morning patrol around the territory and hunt deers or Caribous for the pack after that. But she's pretty sure that in her current condition, it isn't possible for her to do anything except for relaxation. So she decided to stop by her parents den and ask for her father's permission to get a full day off before hunting for breakfast and have a pleasant swim by the pond. She got up and stretched her muscle, followed by a yawn, and began to nudge her mate.

'Wake up, Humphrey.' She said in a gentle tone.

Humphrey's eyelids began to scroll up and he yawned.

'Good morning, Kate.' He said, looking at her with a sleepy face.

'Do you mind following me to my parents den?'

'Sure. Anytime, Kate. I think the omegas can do their jobs without me around, right?'

'Should be. After all, they're omegas, just like you.'

'I'm a simple omega?' He said slowly.

She rolled her eyes and corrected her sentence.

'Special omega.'

Humphrey smiled and wagged his tail at such words. He got onto his feet immediately and stretched his muscle, followed by a yawn.

'I'm ready.' He said with his voice full of energy and they left the den.

They breathe in the fresh air as they stood outside the den with the bright light shining on their faces, showing that it's going to be another beautiful day. They began to head towards Winston and Eves den, and had a chat as they walk.

'So, how's that drug going?' Humphrey asked looking at her.

'Still the same.' She replied with a sigh.

'Don't worry, Kate. You'll be fine. Trust me, just rest and you'll be back into your healthy shape in no time.'

'I hope so. This sweat is annoying me.' She said, and they continued their walk in silence.

As they stroll into her parents den, Winston and Eve were already awake and was discussing about something important, but stopped and turned towards them as they approached.

'Morning, Kate, Humphrey.' Winston said with Eve saying the same.

'Morning, Dad, Mom.' Kate replied with a smile on her face while Humphrey said the same, but used sir and ma'am instead of Mom and Dad.

'What is it?' Winston asked looking at his daughter.

'Am I still going to do my duties?' She asked and Winston and Eve looked at each other before turning back to her.

'Actually, we were just discussing about that.' Winston replied.

'And we decided to relieve you from duty till this drug on you wears off.' Eve said with a sweet voice.

'Really?' Kate said, not believing her ears.

'Yes honey. But remember, you must rest and like your mother said before, keep your body cool at all cost.' Winston stated.

Kate hugged her parents tightly in her paws with her face lit up in excitement.

'Thanks Mom and Dad!'

'No problem, dear. Now, if you could let us go.' Winston said as he was running out of breath.

Kate noticed and let go of her parents immediately. She had completely forgotten that she grew stronger with this drug on.

'I'm sorry.' She said looking at her parents gasping for air.

'It's fine. Go and have fun.' Eve said in the middle of her gasps.

'What kind of drug is that?' Winston asked as his daughter and Humphrey left the den and recovered enough air for his lungs.

'I don't know, but it's really powerful.' Eve said, also recovered enough air.

She exited the den with excitement, but also sad at the same time. She is able to have all the time she wants to spend with Humphrey, but was disappointed that she almost strangled her parents to death. Humphrey noticed her disappointed looks and tried to cheer her up.

'What's wrong, Kate?'

A tear streamed from her beautiful eyes as she looked into his eyes.

'I almost strangled my parents, Humphrey.'

'Don't worry, they're fine. You didn't strangle them, Kate. It's normal when people got excited and hugs others really hard.' He said, calming her down as she lean her head on his chest.

She wiped off her tears and began to feel more comfortable with his presence, supporting her and keeping her from thinking negatively.

'Thank you, Humphrey.'

'No problem. I love you, Kate. And I will help you in everything.' He said as their muzzles touch.

She really was grateful that she had him as her mate; because of their journey back to Jasper from Idaho, their relationship advanced to a higher level and realized that they had feelings for each other. She would've been in deep pain if her parents didn't change the pack law, preventing her from howling with the wolf she truly loved. She smiled and kissed him passionately, feeling the taste of his tongue inside her mouth and hers inside his. Humphrey then backed away and looked into her yellow eyes.

'Let's go and get something to eat.'

Kate nodded and before they even started walking, a voice appeared from the entrance of the den.

'You don't have to.'

They turned around and found her parents sitting beside each other, staring at them with a smile. Kate and Humphrey awkwardly looked back at them and there was silence in between, but Kate finally speak.

'So… you've been here for the whole time?'

'Well, in the process of you two having a romantic time, yes.' Winston said.

Kate and Humphrey blushed bright red and her parents laughed.

'Hutch will be hunting for you, so you two can relax.' Winston continued.

At the exact moment, Hutch appeared and strolled towards them with a smile.

'Good morning sir, ma'am.' He said.

'Hutch, could you please hunt for Kate and Humphrey? She's not in the condition for any activities.' Winston asked.

'I understand. Right away sir.'

Hutch then turned around and left along with Kate and Humphrey, waving goodbyes to her parents from afar as they headed towards the feeding ground. When they arrived, Hutch climbed onto a higher ground and began to scan for prey. Finally, he caught sight of a nearby deer and leaped into the tall grass and advanced forward. Kate and Humphrey sat at where he was and watched as he stalked his prey, performing like a professional alpha. He stopped as he got close and waited for the moment to strike. Once the deer looked away, he immediately pounced out of his hiding spot and went for the kill. He gripped its neck tightly with his mouth and wait for it to stop resisting. He signaled them with his paw up to show his successful hunt and began to drag his kill back to the open. Kate and Humphrey climbed back down and helped Hutch drag his kill as he got closer and dropped it at where they wanted.

'Thanks Hutch.' Kate said with a smile.

'No problem.' Hutch replied with a smile and left them to attend his alpha duties.

They had a wonderful time together, talking about what they would name their pups when they are born and what would they be when they grow up, feasting on their food at the same time. The sun was high up in the middle of the sky, and it was already mid-day. They got up and began to head towards the pond to spend the rest of the day there. When they arrived, Kate stepped into the pond and submerged her whole body into the cool water, except for her head and neck while Humphrey stood infront of her.

'How may I help you, ma'am?' He said, acting as her servant.

She giggled and flowed with his act.

'I need you to sit beside me.' She said.

'Yes, ma'am.'

He stepped into the pond and submerged his body into the water beside her.

'Do you have anything else, ma'am?'

'Yes. This.' She said playfully and licked Humphrey's cheek.

'You can do that anytime, ma'am.' He replied with a smile.

'Even forever?' She asked.

'Yes, ma'am.'

She smiled and they decided to play a game that he invented, he explained that one of them will think of a wolf and the other will have to guess who that wolf is. Hints will be given by the thinker. Losers will have to spin their head around ten times and walk back to the pond without falling down. Kate started first.

'This wolf has grey fur and blue eyes.' She hinted.

Humphrey thought for a while and asked for more hints.

'This wolf is a male and he is an omega.'

Humphrey was still confused as there are lots of omegas with grey fur in the pack, but there are only a few of them has blue eyes, including him. He continued to ask for more hints.

'I met him when I was a pup and grew up with him.'

Humphrey immediately know that that wolf is him, but decided to not give the correct answer and wanted to make her laugh, since humour is in his blood.

'I gave up.' He lied.

'It's you, Humphrey!' She said, feeling happy that she won.

'Aw, dang it.' Humphrey said, pretending that he really doesn't know the answer.

'Okay, time for your punishment.' She said with a smile.

'Okay.' Humphrey said and walked out of the pond.

He stood a few inches away from the pond and began to spin in circles for ten times. Kate laughed as he began to walk towards the pond from left to right, and stopped and crossed his legs when he's about to fall. When he finally stood infront of the pond, he fell in and created a huge splash. Kate was still laughing at his act and gave him a lick on the cheek after he shook his head clear.

'My turn.' He said.

'Okay Humphrey. Bring it.' She replied, fully prepared for his hints.

'Here goes.'

He closed his eyes and began to think of a wolf. He finally arrived with one and looked back at her with a smile.

'Oh, this is a hard one.'

She made a curious look as Humphrey began to give her hints.

'This wolf is an alpha and she is a female.'

'Go on.' She said as she scavenged through her memories.

'She has yellow eyes and very strong and agile.'

'Mhm.'

'She is very hot.'

She eyed him and he smiled and continued to give hints.

'She is the strongest alpha and the most beautiful alpha I've ever seen in my whole life.'

Her face lit up as she finally know that that wolf is her, but decided to not spit it out and see what he's going to do with her, she has an excuse of being under the effect of a strange drug anyway.

'I don't know.' She lied.

'It's you, my beautiful Kate.' He said and rubbed his muzzle against hers.

She giggled and licked his cheek.

'All right, you got me.'

'Time for your punishment.' He said playfully.

'But, I can't do anything but rest, remember?'

'Ah, dang it. That's not fair.' He said.

'Will this be fair?' She said and gave him a kiss.

He smiled and wagged his tail, so as her.

'Mm, yeah that'll do.'

His face lit up as he remembered something and began to get up.

'I'll be right back.' He said and gave her a kiss before entering the forest.

She smiled and thought of where he's going to. Maybe he's getting her a bunch of flowers, or to get a stick to play a game where Kate is the owner and him as a dog, or something else. But she would never know so she cleared her head and continued to wait for his return. Footsteps began to appeared from a few meters away. As it got closer, she thought that it was Humphrey and looked at where it was coming from.

'Well, that was qui-'

She stopped as she saw the wolf that she expected to be was not Humphrey, but a perverted wolf named Alex. She knew him since alpha school and already know that he had eyes on her, but doesn't bother confessing to him that she doesn't like him due to his boastfulness. He stood infront of her and smiled.

'Hello, Kate.'

'What do you want, Alex?'

'Oh, you know, since you're in heat and your mate's not around, can we…' He said, looking at her beautiful golden body.

'No.' She stated.

'Why not? That omega is weak and unskilled. You don't like me, a handsome alpha with a muscular body?'

Kate was getting sick of his boast and got up.

'Get out of here, Alex.'

'Hm. Guess I'll just have to force you then.'

He began to pounce at her, trying to pin her down and get what he wanted. Fortunately, Kate is more agile and powerful at this stage under the effect of the drug and she kicked him in the belly as he pounced, sending him flying a few meters away from her and knock against a tree. He got up and was about to go for it again when he heard a nearby howl for help. He turned to his right and saw Humphrey howling to the pack. He looked back at Kate and expressed a grin.

'I'll be back for you, Kate.' He said and ran into the forest.

Humphrey and Kate watched as he ran off and Humphrey picked up her favourite flower on the ground and walked towards her. He placed it in her fur and made a worried expression.

'Are you okay?'

'Yeah, I'm fine.'

'Who is that guy anyway?'

'Oh, he's Alex, a boastful wolf who already laid eyes on me ever since we met at alpha school.'

'Will he really be back?'

'Hopefully not. Come and sit beside me, Humphrey.' She said as she sat back into the pond.

Humphrey did what he was told and a few minutes later, Winston, Eve, Garth, Lilly, Tony, Hutch and a few alphas appeared and ran towards the two love birds.

'Are you two alright? What's the howl for help?' Winston asked looking at his daughter.

'Alex was here, Dad.' Kate replied.

'Alex? That boastful wolf?' Garth asked and received a nod from her.

'Why is he here?' Winston asked curiously.

'He wanted to… mate with me. I denied so he tried to use force.'

'That monster!' Tony shouted in anger.

'Don't worry. I'm strong enough to handle him with this drug inside me.'

Winston turned towards Hutch and commanded.

'Hutch, send out a group of alphas and hunt Alex down now.'

'Yes sir.' He replied and left along with a few alphas.

'I will rip his guts out for those who tried to rape my daughter.' Eve snapped.

Winston was not surprised of her sentence at all, but somehow agreed to her action. He loved his daughters as much as his mate, and would protect them from harm at all cost. Winston turned back to his first daughter with a serious expression.

'Kate, if he ever comes back for you, let us know. I'll kill him if I have to. He broke the pack law, which sentence him to death.'

'I would be the first to kill him, Dad.' Kate replied and he smiled at her answer.

'Well, back to my duties. Wanna tag along, Lilly?' Garth asked looking at his mate.

'Sure.' She replied and left along with him.

They watched as the couple leave and turned back to Kate and Humphrey.

'Stay safe, you two.' Winston said.

'And have a good time.' Tony said and walked away along with Winston.

Eve walked towards the two leaders and turned around before catching up.

'Humphrey, you will protect my daughter, will you?' She asked in a lovely tone.

'Yes, ma'am. I will protect her with my life.' He replied with a salute.

Eve and Kate giggled at his behavior and she continued.

'Good. Enjoy your time now.'

She ran back to her mate and Tony, leaving only Humphrey and Kate still at the pond. They continued to play the usual game, Humphrey still pretending to lose to make her laugh and Kate giving him a kiss if she loses. They didn't forget about leaving the water for twenty minutes and their lunch and dinner; it was only some berries as Humphrey isn't capable of hunting. Time flies and the was already setting behind the mountains. The love couple headed back to their den and once they arrived, Humphrey and Kate curled themselves into a ball on the ground apart from each other, but their paws's what keeping them comfortable and knowing that they're still here for each other as Humphrey placed his on hers. They drifted into sleep, hoping that tomorrow will be another beautiful day. While at Winston and Eve's den, they were still not asleep and was discussing about something important.

'So, are we going to extend the time of the patrols? Just in case?' Eve asked in a worried tone.

'We should. This rapist from the Northern pack is extremely dangerous, stated by a messenger from that pack. We must make sure that he isn't here…'
