Regaining My Lost Life- chapter 3: Consequences

Humphrey's POV

I was just hanging out with Kate in our den, when suddenly I heard a sound that could scare even God himself to the shadows of Heaven. Kate and I were just holding each other continuously saying "I love you" to one another.

Remember when I said about when she showed me that place? We mated that night. But what I didn't say, was that she and I mated once more last night. And the bad thing was me and her were still tied, and Eve was coming in to wish us a good-morning.

She seen me and Kate tied, and growled a deep enraged growl. It was enough to make me whimper and pull myself into Kate's chest. I whimpered nonstop as Eve drew nearer.

Kate then went to get up, and I slid out of her with a faint, wet sounding, pop. She let out a faint moan, but turned back to her enraged mother and took a defensive stance. Her mother then spoke in an evil voice, saying that her problem was with me and not Kate. Kate defended me and used intimidation tactics, trying to make her mother stand down.

They then said to one another that they each wouldn't repeat themselves.

That's when it got scary. Eve just shook her head, then continued to draw nearer. I felt like I was doomed, that I was going to die before I could see my pups being born. I wanted to see them being born, and give each and every one of them the names Kate and I planned to give them. And it would be with great honor that I would give them their names.

But now it seemed that I wouldn't be able do that, so I just decided to face the consequences; and proudly tell my mate to name the pups without me. I was going to allow the consequences come forth for the choices I made.

"Kate, it's me she wants. Not you. So just...just name the pups without m-me." I said as I got up. I let a few tears stream out, but I wiped them away before they could be seen.

"What? No, you're going to give the pups their names with courage. Don't even think about running from this family you started." she said as she started to tear up.

"I'm not running. I'm accepting the consequences for my actions." I explained. I tried to get up, but had to push Kate out of the way so I could face my consequences myself.

"Now you see that dear? Humphrey knows there are consequences for the actions he makes." Eve said with a triumphant grin. She then came right up to me and looked me in the eyes. "If you truly love her, then don't even think about calling her for help. Face your consequences."

Kate then jumped between her mother and I, and took me into her arms.

"No mom. He's my mate, and I'm the one that chose to do this. If you're gonna hurt him,...then you've gotta take me too." She defended. Her mother just looked at her astonished.

"Kate dear...I-I can't hurt my sweet little girl." Eve said shaking her head.

"Well then you can't hurt Humphrey either. Because he and I love each other very much." Kate said as she kissed me on the cheek. She then looked at her mom quick, then connected muzzles with me. Eve just sat there staring, watching her daughter express her love to me.

Eve then couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed Kate and pulled her from my arms. I was upset seeing my mate get pulled away, just like that. I at first didn't do anything, but when I seen Kate struggling to get back to me, something in me snapped.

"Leave my mate alone." I growled in an angered tone. Eve looked back at me, then continued on dragging Kate away. I let a demonic growl erupt in my throat, and I got up off my haunches.

"I'm not gonna say it again, leave my mate alone." I growled as I went after them. I caught up with them outside in the bright daylight. I rushed over to Kate's side, and tried to free her. Eve seen this and turned to me with a slash from her paw.

I caught the hit across my face. Immediately blood began to slowly seep from the wound. I brought my paw to my cheek and touched it. The three long deep scratches stung when I touched them.

I then jumped at Eve, landing on her and growling in her face. I barked and snarled, and I began to attack her. She acknowledged this with tossing Kate aside and turning to face me for the violent engagement into battle. She circled me as I did the same. We then lunged at each other, claws ready to rip each other's throats out. Suddenly, Eve was tackled by a grey blur. I recognized it to be Winston.

"What are you doing Eve?!" he shouted as he brought her down to the ground.

"He mated with Kate." she replied trying to get out from under her mate. He looked at me, and I gave him a confirming nod. He then refocused on restraining his mate.

Kate rushed over to my side and I took her into my arms. She cried into my chest fur, soaking it with each tear that emerged. I held her as I stroked her back and whispered in her ear.

"It's ok Kate. I'm here, you don't have to worry. We'll always be together, no matter what happens." I whispered in her ear as I stroked her back and held her in my embrace. She continued to sob, and nuzzled my chest lovingly. She was scared stiff, scared that she was being separated from the one she loved. She pulled her head up by mine, and locked lips with me in a kiss. This kiss was the most passionate kiss she ever gave me. I seen how much she loved me and just savored the moment.

"I never want to leave you Humphrey. Promise me you won't let me leave your side." she cried as she pulled away from the kiss.

"I promise." I said as I held her again.

So Eve tried to take her daughter from her mate. Humphrey acknowledged this with violence, and was soothing to the frightened Kate. So I guess that's what love is. Right? Well leave a review and tell me how I did. I'm gonna start on Chapter 4 now. Peace.
