We ran out of the head alphas den with Winston immediately howled signaling all the alphas in the area. Soon the alphas showed up all talking to each other, wondering as to why they were there. "Quiet down. Winston yelled. Everyone fell silent. "I really have no idea what is going on, so I will let Humphrey explain. He stepped down and I went to where he was. I looked down at all of the alphas. Among them I saw McCabe, Hutch, Can-do, Garth and some others that I really didn't know.

"Now many of you may of heard a howl that you didn't recognize a while a go. Well that howl belonged to a friend that I met while I was banished. It was a worming howl. In other words we are being invaded." I told them. They started to kind of panic. Winston then stepped up again. "Calm down all of you. At least we now know so we can get prepared for what is to come. I want some Alphas to go tell the omegas to get the other omegas and the pups to a safe place." He said as some wolfs left to go do as they were told. "The rest of you set up a perimeter at the southern border of the pack were they are attacking us from." they all nodded.

Just then we heard running, and it was comeing straight for us. All of the alphas got into a fighting stance ready for anything to happen, willing to do anything to protect their pack. The footsteps got closer and closer. Then out of the forest came three wolfs. "Hold back the attack!" I yelled. Before any of the alphas could attack. "They are friends." I said. I walked down the slope and over to my friends. "Central pack alphas these wolfs are here to help." I said. I then faced the three,"It's good to see you guys again." I said. "You too, Humphrey." Andy said.

"So this is the central pack." Andy said looking over the wolfs and the scenery. "Not to shabby, but I think your alphas could use a little work." Andy said. Smitty and David nodded. That's when the alphas got angry looks on there faces. And Garth came up to him. "I could take you easily, you scrony wolf." He said. "Ooo, this ones got a temper." Andy said with a smile. "Both of you stop, we have a war to fight, remember. We don't want to start dying before the battle even begins, do we?" I yelled. "No." they said. "We'll finish this later." Garth said to Andy. "Can't wait." Andy said back.

"ok, anyway we should get moving like Winston said. lets go." I told them. We left to were we needed to be. On are way we saw many omegas carrieing pups to safety. That made me think of Kate, hoping that she would be ok all alone. She was due any day now. I couldn't let this pack get taken over. I wouldn't let my pup get raised in that kind of world. I was a wolf on a mission.

We soon made it to a clearing at the southern boarder. We looked around. It was a deadly silence. No one and nothing made a noise. Then from the forest I could see glowing eyes coming closer to us. I was in the front of everyone. Next to me stood Garth, Hutch, McCabe, Andy, David, and Smitty. All of the wolfs came into sight. There was easily 40 of them. We were evenly matched in numbers. Then the leader wolf of that pack spoke up,"Look who we have here, three traitors and the pathetic excuse for wolfs the central pack. And you." He said pointing to me,"you look familiar." "I should sense you nearly killed me nearly two months ago." I growled at him. "Awe, yes the week omega wolf." he said. "No so week anymore." I said to him. He smiled,"we'll see about that."

thats when he signaled for his wolves to attack. Our pack also started to charge at the advancing enemy. We came closer and closer and closer until we finally connected with each other. Blood was spilled immidietly. I slit someone's throat, then doged an attack from a wolf. When I doged him I leapt at him bitting him in the throat and snapping his neck. Left and right wolfs were dropping like flies. One of their wolfs would die then right after one of ours would. The battle was fierce.

I soon was confronted by three wolfs. I started to back up. I backed up right into McCabe. I looked at him and he looked at me. We nodded. We both ran at my attackers killing all of them without mercy. "Good job." I told him. "Same to you, now lets get back into the battle." I nodded my head as we returned to the battlefield. As I was defending myself, I saw a couple enemy wolfs start to sneak off towards the main area. I killed an attacker wolf then took off after the wolfs.

I ran as fast as I could after them, but they were faster. We got to the main pack area. I saw them going into the head alpha den. Now I could see who was leading them, it was Alex. He was going to try and kill Winston and anyone who stood in his way. But Kate was in there and knowing her she would try and protect her father even in her condition. But I was not going to let that happen. I ran as fast as I could to the den. I ran straight into the den. Alex and his wolfs were cornering Winston, Eve, and Kate at the back of the den.

"Alex, leave them be." I growled at him. He turned to me and smiled,"Ah, if it isn't the weak omega. This will be fun." He said as he motioned his men to surround me. "We'll take care of you first then of those wolfs." He said. I looked over at Kate and her parents, they all looked at me frightened, thinking that I was going to die. But I have learned many things from being a lone wolf. I gave them a reassuring smile telling them u would be fine. They started to circle me just like they did months before. I smiled, that's exactly what I wanted them to do.

The first wolf charged at me, I smiled. I jumped over him. He didn't expect that. He ran right into another wolf knocking both of them on the ground. "Come on, is that the best you could do?" I mockingly said. They growled out of annoyance. More came at me, this time two. But that was not a problem. I stepped out of the way of my first attacker, then grabbed the other by the scruff and threw him into the side of the cave, knocking him out on impact. "Told you I wasn't weak anymore." I told Alex. I could see his eyes full of rage. "Come and get me." I said. Alex ran at me full speed. He was incredibly fast, but not fast enough. I doged his attack, then quickly turned around. I lunged at him. He turned around only to be met with my claws to his face. That made him stumble back. That's when he had enough. He rammed me really hard, i heard cracking, probably my ribs breaking, then ran out of the den with any wolfs that didn't get knocked out. I got up and looked at him and he looked at me. "I will be back for your head." He said as he ran off.

I sighed. I then turned to Kate and smiled. But that's when I felt a sharp pain in my side. I looked at my side and my eyes grew with fear. I saw one of my ribs sticking out of my side. I was losing blood fast. I started to feal dissey. I was losing my vision. I then fell on the ground. Right before I blacked out I heard Kate scream,"Humphrey." Then nothing.

I woke up fealing really hurt. 'What happened?' I asked myself. I lifted my head up and looked around. I recognized this place, it was the healers den. I had been head many times as a pup from hurting myself by doing my ideas of games. I smiled at the memory's. I then felt something warm on my side. I looked down and saw Kate snuggled next to me. I smiled again. But I then felt pain at my side. I looked at my side and saw it all bandaged up.

I then remembered what happened. I had a rib sticking out of my body after being rammed by Alex. I looked out the den and saw it was really bright outside. I again looked at Kate. I nudged her,"Kate, Kate wake up." I told her. She started to move around. "Five more minutes." "Come on Kate, I want to see this beautiful eyes of yours." I said. She then shot up and looked at me. "Humphrey!" She said as she brought me into a hug. "Whoa, why so much hugging?" I asked chuckling. "I thought I lost you, everyone thought you weren't going to make it." She said crying into my fur. "Hey, hey it's alright I'm fine now and that's all that matters." I said. "How long was I out?" I asked. "four days." She told me.

That got me nervous,"Did I miss it?" I asked. She looked at me with a confused look. "Oh, no you didn't, you're lucky too." She said. I sighed in relive. "I wouldn't want to miss that for anything in the world." I said.

Thats when I heard footsteps coming into the den. "Kate, it's been four days, I think it's…" I heard Winston say but stopped when he saw me awake. "Humphrey, your alive!" He said. "Yep, and glad to be." I said. "How do you feel?" He asked. Well I do have a pain in my side, but other than that I feel fine."I said. "Good, well you must be hungry, I'll go get you some meat." He said. "Thank you sir." He nodded. He then left the den to go get meat for us.

After he left another wolf came in. He was the pack healer, Earl. I've known him since a pup, since I was in here a lot. "Awe, Humphrey your awake. Your lucky you made it through this one." I smiled,"aren't I always." He laughed,"Indeed you are Humphrey, indeed you are."

Thats when I heard Kate groan in pain. "Kate, are you alright?" I asked. "I think it's happening now." "Now!?" "Yes now!" She yelled. "Ok, Kate just calm down, big breaths." I said. That's when Earl came over. "Ok, now I'm not going to lie, this will hurt a lot." he said. "Now just remember to breath." He said. She nodded.

Winston then walked in. "I got the…what's going on?" "She's gone into labor." Earl said. "I guess I'll just wait outside." Winston said. "Ok, now back to what's in hand." Earl said.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER

"just one last big push Kate." Earl said. Kate screemed and the last pup was born. I took the last pup and licked it clean. There were four of them, Two boys and two girls. The oldest boy looked exactly like Humphrey. The oldest girl was grey with a white underbelly. The seconded youngest, girl looked exactly like her mother. The youngest which was a boy was tan, with a grey tipped tail, a grey muzzle, he was a special one. "They're beautiful." Kate said. "They get that from you." I told her. "Well, I'll leave you guys be." Earl said as he left the den. "What should we name them?" She asked. I thought for a seconed,"Lets name the oldest Dakota." I said. She agreed. "Ok then the oldest girl will be Kattie." Kate said. "The youngest girl will be Hannah." I said. "Lets decide together on our special looking one." Kate said. "Ok, how about, Blaze?" I asked. "That sounds perfect." Kate said.

Just as we got done naming them Winston, Eve, and Lily came in. "Hi guys." I said. They came up to us. "They look beautiful." Eve said. "Thank you." Kate and I said. "What are their names." Winston asked. "the oldest one here is named Dakota, Then the seconded oldest is named Katie, then her name is Hannah, and our youngest one is named Blaze." I said. "Whoa, Blaze looks really cool." Lily said. "Yep, he's our special one." Kate said. "Well, we'll leave you two so you can rest." Winston said. We said good bye. Then Kate and I fell asleep.
