Lilly

Morning came faster than I would have liked it too. I was having a wonderful dream about when I was a little pup with Kate and Humphrey. We were just doing what we had done when we were that age, playing our little hearts out until the sunset. It made me feel happy, and warm inside to be able to expirience this once more, even if it was only a dream. Unfortunately, the dream ended when I felt myself getting shooken awake.

"Lilly, Lilly. Come on wake up" I heard someone whisper to me.

I groaned a little bit, it was too early to be waking up. But whoever was trying to wake me up was determined, and eventually I gave in. I opened my eyes only two be greeted with gorgeous emerald green eyes staring down at me. I zoned out a little, fixated on those beautiful eyes. That's when Garth cleared his throat, gaining my attention.

"You ok?" He asked with a chuckle. I blushed a little and broke eye contact with him.

"Yah, sorry. I blanked out there for a second. I'm not used to getting up this early." I told him. Which wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the reason I was staring at him.

"Sorry about waking you up so early. I just thought we should get an early start on the day. I heard that this side of Jasper is huge." He exclaimed.

The Western part of Jasper is pretty large. The second largest right after the north then it's the south, and the east is the smallest, territory wise. The population of the packs is unknown to me and I didn't even have a guess for any of them, not even ours.

"Sounds good to me. I guess I'll start by showing you all the main parts of the pack." I told him.

He nodded in agreement. "Lead the way." He said, making a gesture with his paw out of the den.

We made our way down the slope and I told him that this was where the eating grounds where. Even though it wasn't that hard to figure out on your own.

I then took him to where most everyone lives. "These are all of the residential dens. Usually this is where wolves end up living. Of course there are the occasional ones who tend to move a little ways away from everyone else. My friend, Humphrey, is one of those wolves." I explained to him.

"Humphrey? Isn't he that wolf from the howl, the one that decided to drop in, literally?" He asked as we started to move on.

I chuckled. "Yah, that's him alright. But trust me, he really is a good wolf. He was just bwing silly." I told him.

"Sure not good with first impressions." He scoffed.

"I'll tell you why he was like that around you. Its because you are a wolf he doesn't know who was talking to Kate." I said.

"What does Kate have to do with this?" He questioned.

I was going to tell him but I stopped myself. Should I really be telling this stranger all these personal things about my best friend. I guess I could word it a little bit different so I don't reveal the whole truth to Garth.

"Well you see, Humphrey isn't really from around here." I started. This seemed to intrigue Garth.

"Really? That's interesting." He stated.

"Yah, he says he doesn't really know much about his past before he came here. He told us that his first clear memory is when he stumbled upon Kate when he was about a month and a half old. He says everything before that is kind of a blur."

"That still dosn't explain why he was so rude." Garth complained.

"Im getting to that." I barked making him go quiet. It took me a second to realize what I did. I basically told some one to shut up. I'd never done that before. It kind of felt good.

"Anyway, Kate was Humphrey's first real memory and his first friend. They did everything together and they grew really close. So Humphrey just gets nosey when Kate meets knew people. He just doesn't want to see her get hurt." I explained. Most of what I said was true. Except I left out the part about him being in love with her, and the real reason why he was so rude to Garth was because he was jealous. Of course he would never admit to thus but I knew it was true.

"Wow, he does sound like a good friend." Garth commented. Hearing this put a smile on my face. Humphrey really was a great wolf, and he seems to not see that for some reason.

"He really is." I agreed.

"You seem to know him well too, and you speak highly of him. Are you two, you know..." He inferred.

I made a sickened face. "What? No! He and I are strictly friends. It would just be really weird of any feelings like that came up." I told him.

He shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever you say." This caused me to roll my eyes. I decided to drop the subject, and just in time.

At that moment we got to probably my most favorite place to go in the territory. I always came here when I just wanted to be alone. Its where I came yesterday after I heard the news about Humphrey and Kate.

"Where are we." I heard Garth say in awe.

"Its called rabbit poo mountain." I told him. It might be a nice place to go but the name made it a little less nice.

"Why do they call it that?" He asked, losing a little intrest.

I decided that I would joke with him a little. "Because it's where rabbits poo."

"What? Ew ew ew." He said while hoping over to a rock.

I laughed at his reaction. "I was only kidding."

"Oh ha ha, very funny." He said with sarcasm. I only giggled.

"So why are we here anyway?" He asked.

I shrugged, "You wanted to see Jasper, and this is just one of my favorite places. Besides the name, of course."

"I can see why you like it, it's such a beatiful place. Its a shame that they don't call it something better to suit it's beauty. I would rename it Lilly hill." He commented.

I whipped my head around and looked at him, shocked. I was blushing hard. Did he really actually just say that. It seems that even he had no idea what he said because he, too, looked shocked at what he said.

"So yah, you were showing me around. Let's get going again shall we." He rambled while speed walking away.

I caught up with him but we didn't speak. A feeling of awkwardness fell on us and neither one of us wanted to speak to the other. Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered that he called me beautiful but it's just the alpha and omega thing. Its alright if you call a friend beautiful but this sounded like he was flirting with me. And to be honest, I kind of liked it. But it's wrong and aginst pack law, so I decided that I should just ignore it.

After walking for awhile we stumbled into a small clearing. Garth lightly elbowed me. I looked toward him to see him looking at me with a smile.

"Sorry about earlier. I kind of stepped out of line back there a little." He apologized.

"Its fine, really. If it means anything, thank you. It was kind of sweet." I told him.

"Well I wouldn't have said it if it weren't true." He said with a wink.

I giggled, "Your mother sure raised a gentlewolf."

Almost instantaneously after I said that, I felt the mood change. It seemed everything got darker and gloomy. Garth flattened his ears to his head and turned his head around. I could hear muffled sobs. What did I just do?

"Garth, are you ok? Was it something I said." I asked, scared that I had done something to hurt him.

"I'm fine. You didn't know." He chocked out.

Seeing him like this brought tears to my own eyes. I hated seeing people sad like this, I absolutely despised it. That's why I try and make everyone else happy, hence the reason I'm an omega.

"I'm sorry if I said anything to hurt you. I didn't meant to." I reassured him.

"I know, I know." He rasped, "Its just that I barley knew my mother before she passet away, and every time I hear about her I just lose control of my emotions."

I brought my paw up to my mouth, covering it. I was so stupid. If only I had known this I wouldn't have made the mistake of bringing her up. I needed to make up for it. So I did the one thing that I thought would work best in this moment, I went over to him and brought him into a big hug.

"I'm so sorry." I apologized.

He stiffened up at first but soon he accepted it, and even returned the hug back to me. In this moment I started to feel a little warm. What was this I was feeling, it was alien to me. But it was a good feeling. It made me happy and warm and comfortable. It felt weird.

After awhile, much to my disappointment, he pushed off of me. We looked into each other's eyes and I found myself lost in his teary emerald green eyes.

"Thank you Lilly, I really needed that." He said appreciatively.

"Now..." He started while wiping his eyes clear of tears. "How about we continue on that tour." He offered as he started walking off.

I sat there for a second and watched as he moved farther away. It gave me a pain in my heart, like I needed to be next to him. I felt as though I couldn't let him get to far from me. My heart pounded harder as I realized what was happening. I was falling for an Alpha.

Another chapter done. It seems Lilly is having some forbidden love going on in her heart. I wonder how this will play out.

Please share with me what you think of this in the comments, I love knowing what you all think.

Thanks for reading

Peace Out
