Chapter 7: Twice the pain.
Kate's POV
The pack followed the train tracks for the last day and some started to jog ahead. They were eager to get to their new home. Kate, Lilly, Garth, and Dante were about 15 feet ahead of the rest of the pack.
"How much longer?" Kate asked.
"Not very much more. Unless another damn hail storm comes in." Dante answered looking up at the sky.
Kate also looked up. The sky was clear of clouds and a cold breeze slightly swayed the trees around them.
Suddenly a shriek sounded some where in front of them. Kate was the first to react and she sprinted forward on the tracks. She ran into a clearing and looked to her right. There was a huge lake. It shined like crystals in the sunlight. Kate looked past it and saw 2 wolves playing tag or something.
Dante walked beside her and looked at the wolves.
"2 Omegas no doubt." Dante noted watching the wolves play.
Kate noticed one was a stormy grey and the other was white as snow. Looked like Lilly almost.
"Maybe they could give us directions to where we are heading. This doesn't look like what we are looking for." Kate said not wanting to stay near wolves they didn't know.
"Actually this is the place." Dante said.
Kate looked back at the pack which were resting and waiting for Kate to tell them to continue. Lilly and Garth joined them at the lakes edge.
"Well looks like we are going to have to introduce ourselves." Dante said.
"Yep I guess we are ." Kate said.
Humphrey's POV
Humphrey was playing with Blaire. They ran around and played tag. Humphrey was teaching Blaire the fun of these games. She had never played games. He noticed some wolves watching them form the other side of the lake in the corner of his eye.
"Wait." Humphrey said now looking at the wolves.
Blaire looked at what he was looking at. Four wolves where standing there. One was black, another was white, one was a light brown, and the last was a golden brown and her fur glowed lightly from the sun.
"Why do they look so familiar?" Humphrey asked himself.
The black wolf walked towards them walking on the side of the lake. Humphrey prepared himself for anything to come.
"Good afternoon." The wolf said when he got about 10 paces away.
"Good afternoon to you to." Humphrey greeted still ready for anything.
"So you live here." The wolf stated.
"Yeah, I do now what do you want?" Humphrey asked getting to the reason why they are here.
"I only wanted to know if there is room around this place. You see our pack ran out of food so we had to move. We came to this place." The wolf said.
"There are dens through the forest about a minute walk. You can stay there and come here for water. But don't try anything while you're here." Humphrey said.
He didn't trust this wolf or his pack but he didn't want to be rude and make them go.
"Thank you kind sir. And may I say your girlfriend looks very pretty." The wolf said turning to leave.
"Kate, he said there's a nice den place for the pack through the forest!" The wolf yelled.
Humphrey grit his teeth and looked back at the now 3 wolves watching them. He knew they looked familiar.
"Damn it..." Humphrey said through gritted teeth as he watched Kate make her way towards him.
"Isn't that the girl you loved?" Blaire asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Humphrey answered.
Humphrey tried to figure out a way to make him unrecognizable to Kate. Blaire read his mind and put his fur blocking one of his eyes.
"That's the best, I can do right now." Blaire said.
"Well it's better then nothing." Humphrey said.
Kate made it to them and greeted herself.
"I am Kate. Pack Leader of the eastern and western pack. May I asked your own names?" Kate said.
Humphrey thought "Pack Leader? What happened to Tony, Eve, and Winston?"
Blaire did the talking this time.
"I am Blaire, Daughter of the Southern pack leader. This is my boyfriend Dylan." Blaire said.
"Dylan. What kind of name is that?! Could've said a better name than that." Humphrey thought.
"Nice to meet you Dylan and Blaire. Thank you for letting us stay here with you." Kate said thanking them.
"But what is the Daughter of the southern Pack leader doing out here?" Kate asked.
"I left my pack sometime ago." Blaire answered.
Garth came up and stopped next to Kate and looked directly at Humphrey.
"Hey, coyote what you doing out here?" Garth asked.
Humphrey froze.
"Coyote?" Kate whispered thinking about that nickname.
She looked straight at Humphrey.
"Humphrey?!" She exclaimed eyes wide.
