Hey all, welcome to the fourth chapter, first I want to say this chapter is not as good as my others I got to say, when I was writing this chapter I saw I had to make 2 out of it because or else it would be too big, but I promise the next chapter will be interesting but I had to make this chapter like this because it will play an very important role in the chapters that are too come, also I want to note that if you read the first chapter closely you can notice Garth lives in the western territory with Lilly, I'm saying this just so you don't get confused when you start reading the chapter, also I want to thank those that reviewed it helped me a lot, well with that said Here's the next Chapter Enjoy!
Chapter 4: The Talk
Kate's Pov
I woke up early from my sleep remembering I had alpha duties but I woke up a little too early so I decided to head for the lake too take a quick drink, I stood up cautiously as to not too wake up Humphrey who had a wide smile on his face so he probably was having a good dream, what I didn't notice is I kept staring at him, he just looks so cute when he sleeps, after a minute of staring at him I started walking towards the lake which was only a 2 minute walk from our den, it was sunny outside so I decided to take my time enjoy the view of my surroundings, I arrived at the lake shore after 3 minutes and took a quick drink and saw Garth coming in the distance so I yelled his name and he came over to me "hey Garth" I said waving at him "hey Kate" he replied back "why're you out here so early?" Garth asked me "oh, I woke up early so I decided to come here and take a quick drink before heading to my dad for alpha duties" I said and he nodded "and why're you out so early today?" I asked "Lilly told me Winston wanted to see me and decided to come to the lake before heading to your dad" he said then it hit me, he also had asked for Humphrey too come by early and I almost forgot "ow, I almost forgot" I said in a loud voice "forgot what?" Garth asked me with a questioning look "my dad also asked for Humphrey too pass by early" I said "I better head back and wake him up" I said standing up "ok I'll see you there with Humphrey" Garth said standing up and heading into the direction he came from, I nodded back and started walking towards our den
I arrived back at our den and saw Humphrey still fast asleep so I decided to wake him up, I nudged his side and said "Humphrey wake up" but only thing I got as response was him grunting in his sleep, I got impatient "HUMPHREY WAKE UP!" I yelled loudly into his ear and in an instant he jumped on all fours with a shocked look on his face and I instantly began to laugh loudly too his reaction.
Humphrey's Pov
I was asleep dreaming about me and my buddies log-sledding, we were going down the hill at full speed maneuvering around every obstacle that came towards us, until we hit a tree with our sled and we all ended up rolling down the mountain, but on the way down I crashed into a wolf and I ended up on top of the wolf, when I got back my sight I saw I was on top of an orange-brown wolf with our noses touching, the wolf opened his eye's grunting in pain, I couldn't help but just stand there on top of him staring at his eye's, I looked down his body and saw his muscular body his white face and underbelly, until something woke me from my happy dream.
I jumped up on all fours after hearing somebody yell very loudly in my ear, I looked around and saw Kate on the floor laughing loudly, a low growl escaping my muzzle but not loud enough for Kate too hear it "Kate what did you do that for?" I asked in a mad voice, she stopped laughing and sat down in front of me looking at me and said "u should've seen your face it was priceless" she said laughing, after a few seconds she stopped laughing and said "but the reason I woke you up like that is because my dad wants to talk with you remember" she said, "ok ,but couldn't you have woken me up normally without yelling into my ear?" I asked in an annoyed voice looking at her with a mad face, "I tried waking you up but you wouldn't wake up so it was either that or throwing cold water over you" she said chuckling ,I sighed in annoyance knowing I wouldn't win this argument so I decided too just forget about it "and why does your dad want to see me" I asked raising an eyebrow, "I don't know Humphrey but let's start moving the faster we're there the sooner we know" she said with a smile, "wait Kate let me go by the lake for a quick wash " I asked "no there's no time for that Humphrey you can go later after we talked to my dad" she said quickly I nodded and we both got up and started walking towards the head alpha's den which was only a 10 minute walk from our den.
During the walk there I was in deep thought, thinking about my dream who that wolf was, I had no idea but all I can tell is the wolf looked rather attractive, what I loved were the wolf's eye's, they looked like they were glowing , I was so deep in thought I didn't notice we were already at the den entrance until Kate snapped me out of it, "Humphrey we're here" she said ,"what, where are we?" I asked half confused ,"we're at the den entrance you silly" she said chuckling ,"ow, sorry Kate I wasn't paying attention" I said apologizing "its ok c'mon lets head in and see what my dad needs you for" she said walking forward with me following closely behind, when we got inside Kate yelled "dad we're here" we sat down waiting for her dad too come, after a few seconds Winston came "good morning Kate, good morning Humphrey" he said in a fatherly tone "morning sir" I said politely sitting down next too Kate and Winston sitting down opposite from us, I looked at Kate and saw her chuckle "Humphrey you don't have to be so formal you can call me Winston or dad, your Kate's mate after all" he said smiling towards me then we heard paw steps from outside, I turned around and saw Garth approach with Lilly close behind "morning Garth and Lilly, come in" I heard Winston say "morning dad" Lilly said "morning sir" Garth said.
Garth and Lilly walked in sitting next to me on my right side with Garth sitting next to me and Lilly next to him at his right side, "hey sis" Kate said standing up walking towards her sister and giving her a hug and sitting next to her "hey Kate and Humphrey" she said hugging her sister back, "hey Lilly, hey Barf" I said grinning at Garth, he smiled back and said "hey coyote" Lilly and Kate rolling their eyes for our childish behavior, Winston coughed getting our attention "well now that you all have said your hellos we can get straight to the point" Winston said while Eve was walking in the den "right on time Eve" Winston said making us all look towards the den entrance, Eve walked past us sitting next to Winston, Garth and I greeted her "Morning Ma'am" we both said at the same time "morning Garth and Humphrey" she greeted back "hey Mom" Kate and Lilly said "hey Kate and Lilly how are you two girls feeling today?" she said raising an eye brow looking at her daughters "I'm feeling alright, woke up early today" Kate said, Eve looked at Kate suspicious and said "Did Humphrey Bother you in your sleep" she asked raising her voice looking at me, I gulped in fear looking at Kate worried, scared of what might happen next, Eve is known for being overprotective and vicious towards those that end up on her bad side, she's also known for her mood swings one moment she's happy the next she can be on top of you trying to choke you too death, "no mom Humphrey didn't do anything" she said annoyed about her mother's reaction "ok but if he does something out of line I will personally deal with you" she said looking at me with her death look, I froze in fear and only nodded to not make her angry, she kept looking at me everybody being silent until Winston spoke again "Ahem…well Eve you take the girls with you while I have a talk Humphrey and Garth" he said looking at his mate, Eve nodded "come on girls" Eve said standing up and walking towards the den entrance "wait why you want to talk with Humphrey and Garth dad" Kate asked looking at her dad confused "Honey Eve will explain you everything, just go with her and she will tell you what you need to know" Winston said signaling Kate and Lilly to follow their Mother, Kate and Lilly said goodbye to their mates and followed Eve to wherever she was heading to.
Garth and I looked back at Winston and saw an smile on his face, we looked at each other then back at him "Winston is there something we need to know" I asked getting impatient being here not knowing why, "finally I thought they would never leave" he said towards me and Garth still smiling "huh" Garth said confused at the Alpha's remark "the reason why I have called you two over is too have a man to man talk" he said only making me and Garth wonder even more were he was going to "why and about" I asked eager to know what he was trying to say "as you two know spring is close, which makes females and males go in heat" Winston started off with me and Garth nodding in comprehension, listening closely "and we all know heat makes wolves do crazy things to get rid of it" he said looking at both of us sharply "s-sir we would never-" I started up but got cut off when Winston spoke again "Relax…what I'm getting at is have you both talked about having pups" Winston asked looking at both me and Garth eager for an reply, "Kate and I haven't talked about the subject yet" I said nervously shuffling my paws back and forth looking at Winston "and you Garth" he asked looking at Garth "we also haven't talked about it yet, sir" Garth said nervously "ok, that's all I wanted to know, glad we could have this talk together" he said smiling at us "sir...are Kate and Lilly having this talk also right now with Eve" I asked getting worried "no, Kate is doing alpha duties right now and Lilly is probably somewhere hanging out" he said smiling "also I have cancelled alpha duties for you Garth, so your free for today", "thank you sir" Garth said smiling "you two can go now" Winston said pointing his paw towards the den entrance, we said our goodbye's and headed out.
