That night I lay in my den awake, unable to sleep for a reason unknown to me. I was exhausted and my eyes filled with tiredness, but yet my body could not go to sleep. I tried to sleep for hours, but got no positive results. So I just lied there that night and waited for morning to come, I would not have had the strength I needed the next morning, but what else could I do?

I then realized that maybe this was a good thing. I didn't have to deal with those horrific dreams. My mom no longer haunted me, for now anyway.

I still didn't know what the problem was though, it just didn't make sense. You can't just not sleep, it's not normal. Something had to be wrong, your supposed to sleep and if your body is tired and won't sleep then there is a problem.

After a few more sleepless nights, I then realized that I might have been suffering from insomnia. This would prove to be a problem to me later because insomnia is serious and it can really affect your life. If I can't sleep then how would I train? I still don't remember how I got through it, but I did and I'm here now better then I was before.

There was no way to fix my problem, there was no cure. At least for wolves, and even if there was we had no way of obtaining it. Who would make a cure for insomnia for wolves anyway? I've seen the humans, bunch of greedy, evil bastards is what they are. Now that you think about it, we're not much different from the humans. I mean, we say they're evil because they kill wolves, but we kill just as many wolves as they do, probably more.

I'm telling you the story of the wolves who killed my family, but I'm also saying the humans are evil for killing wolves. I'm such a hypocrite sometimes.

It was after a week of sleeplessness when I got up out of my den and went to see Winston at his den for training. As soon as I walked he noticed something was wrong.

"Humphrey are you ok? Have you been having sleep issues?" He asked concerned.

That's one way of putting it.

"Yeah, in fact I only get like one hour of sleep each night" I replied tiredly.

"How long has this been going on?" He asked.

"A few weeks" I replied barely keeping my eyes open.

Winston was shocked and wide eyed from my response. I would be too if I was him, I just told him that my body doesn't let me sleep anymore.

I think he knew it was insomnia, but he never told me or even tried to help me in anyway at all. He had to know or at least indentify the fact that something is wrong, but no he just replied...

"You'll be fine, I'm sure it's nothing. You'll get over it eventually" Winston responded.

Yeah, great fucking advice!

"Come on, we need to go" Winston said as we walked out of the den.

I followed him out of the den and we walked through the pack. It was four in the morning so everybody was still asleep. We needed to get up early for my training. We didn't want anybody else to know about it but us.

We made it to the woods and out of the main area of the pack. We wanted to get as far away from the pack as possible without leaving the territory.

Once we got there it was pretty brutal. I mainly had to be trained mentally because I already knew how to hunt, how to fight and the basics of an alpha. I had to learn stealth, I had to learn how to speak to people. That may sound weird but it's true. For example, if your trying to find a person and he is nowhere to be found then how are you going to find him? By talking to people! Talk to people that might have a clue to his location or anything helpful in fact.

"Ok Humphrey, when you are speaking to a person and you think he has information that is useful, what do you do if he is refusing to tell you?" Winston asked testing me.

"I look for his tell. Like whenever he lies he may look the other way and or scratch his head. When I see that I pressure him some more until I get what I want" I answered.

"Good job Humphrey" Winston complimented smiling.

I smiled back at him, happy because of being right.

"Ok, Humphrey I have something else to teach you. How to deal with people and such. This is also for speaking with anyone. For some people in your work you will want to keep on your goodside or some people you might want to piss them of a bit" Winston explained.

"If they're angry, then they will be unfocused and blinded. This will be useful to you in many ways. Or you can get someone to like you a lot. If someone likes you enough then they will give you what you want. But these can prove to both be dangerous. If your partner for example hates you then he will probably leave you to die on a mission or if your partner likes you too much then they will put you over the mission. Neither of these things are good" Winston explained.

"I understand sir" I replied.

"Ok, it's morning now and wolves are probably waking up now. You should head back to your den" Winston suggested.

"Your right and thank you sir" I said as I made my way back to my den.

I was heading back to my den when my wave of tiredness just hit me. I was so tired, but I couldn't go to sleep! It made me so angry and a little sad too.

I made it too my den and tried to at least look like I was asleep. I just lied there, wanting to sleep, but couldn't. It's not like when I could fall asleep it was any better. I would be tormented with brutal nightmares and wake up and then not be able to sleep. But at least when I had a nightmare and I woke up it would be morning or at least almost morning.

So I just lied there for a few hours and waited until it was the right time for an omega to wake up. After waiting until about nine I couldn't take it anymore, I had to get up and do something. I would sleep...god I would sleep all day long if I could have.

I got up and walked out of the den, still exhausted. I looked around for my friends and saw them playing berry ball together. I decided to join them.

"Hey guys" I said trying to look happy and excited to see them.

"Hey Humphrey, you want to play?" Salty asked.

"Sure" I replied.

I joined in on their game, it was pretty fun. I missed playing with my old friends when I was in the south. I think when I was pretending to be an omega at that time and even now I played with those three because it reminded me that I was still a wolf. It made me feel like a pup playing with is parents and friends. I know I'll never get them back, but at least I can still have them.

Now at that time as a pup that wasn't the reason, but now I hang out with them because my friendship with them makes me know that I am Humphrey the omega.
