Chapter: 9
"Apologies & Conflicts"
I walked to the entrance of my den and looked outside. The dream I had awoken to made me nervous about going to see Kate, but it didn't matter. I had to go see her, so I walked outside into the blinding sun, which it was a nice, cool day with clouds filling the sky. I walked past everyone and they were smiling at me and waving, saying hello, and some even still scared about what happened yesterday at lunch. On the way there, I kept thinking of what I was going to tell her and how I would say it. I arrived to her den and when I poked my head in the entrance to see Kate lying by herself crying, it made me feel horrible the way I treated her and snapped at her. I was about to walk in until I heard someone behind me growling, and when I turned to look, I saw it was Eve. I had seen her stomach had gotten bigger since the last time I saw her. "Hi Eve." I said nervously.
"Hello Humphrey, can I talk to you for a second?" she asked, as I walked over to her. "Humphrey dear, I know what happened between you and Kate the other night, and I understand what happened. But I am going to say one thing… if you ever hurt my daughter again, I will make sure you feel her pain except with a missing tail!" she said and smiled proudly after saying that. I looked at her with fear and responded. "Y-yes m-ma-ma'am." She walked away leaving me by myself until I turned around to see Kate looking at me with sadness in her eyes. Her cheeks were rosy red and had wet spot under her eyes from her tears. I slowly walked over to her. "Kate…" I was about to tell her but she hugged me and started crying uncontrollably on my shoulder before I could say anything. We sat there for a while until I told her we should talk inside, so we walked in and I laid down across from each other so I could look at her.
"Kate…I know your upset about the other night and I know it was wrong of me for what I did. And I hope you know I didn't mean to yell at you like that, but I just want you to know that…what you said about my parents…really hurt." I told her, but she was still sobbing as she was listening. "I want to tell you that I am extremely sorry about what I did…but can you ever forgive me?" I asked her and she started crying more. She got up and walked over to me and laid down and cried into my chest as I was holding her. "Y-yes H-Humphrey…I…I forgive y-you." Kate said between breaths. She looked up at me and I stared into her eyes. "Humphrey." she slowly stopped crying. "I didn't mean to yell at you and call you names…and I shouldn't have said those things about your parents…I'm so sorry Humphrey." she said and started crying into my chest again.
"I forgive you Kate." I told her. She looked at me with happiness and smiled. I looked into her eyes and she looked into mine, after a minute I moved my head towards hers and she did the same. When I got close enough, I closed my eyes and kissed her sweet lips. We kissed for at least 10 minutes until she stopped. "What's wrong Kate?" I asked, but she wasn't paying any attention to me. She had her ears perked up trying to listen to something. "Well, if I'm a bad kisser, all you have to do is tell…" I was interrupted by Kate's paw covering my mouth.
"Humphrey…hush!" she demanded and perked her ears up again. "You hear that?" she asked.
"Mhm…mhm mhmhm mhm!" I tried to tell her. "What?" she turned and gave me a weird look. I pointed at her paw, which made her look at her paw. "Ohh," she pulled it away. "Sorry, what did you say?" she asked.
"I was saying, it sounds like yelling." I said and walked over to the den entrance to look outside. When I looked outside, I saw Winston and our pack behind him and another wolf facing each other with wolves behind the other wolf. Kate walked up beside me and looked at me. "What's wrong Humphr…" she turned to look at what I was lookin at and instantly stopped talking. "Oh my god, what's going on?" she asked out loud. "I don't know." I said. I could hear Winston and, apparently looked like the leader of the other pack, arguing back and forth. I could see every wolf in our pack staring at the other pack, snarling and growling. "Kate, wait here." I demanded and started walking down to the crowd, but I heard Kate follow me. I turned to look at her with plea. "Kate…please, wait here, I don't want you to get hurt if something happens…please, just wait in the den." I told her. She started walking back to the den and when she got to the top she turned back to look at me. "Please, be careful Humphrey" she said.
"I will." I said as I turned to leave. I walked down the slope and headed for the crowd that was gathering around to listen. When I finally did get to them, I worked my way to the front line of the crowd, to were I could hear better. I sat and listened to the argument, but I turned to look at another wolf and asked him what they were arguing for.
"The Northern leader, Persius, has discovered that one of the wolves in our pack has been going into there territory to see one of the other wolves." a wolf told me. When he told me that, I started getting nervous, knowing I was the one who has broken the law.
"You broke Pack Law Winston, I told you that no one from your pack is permitted into my territory!" the large wolf said.
"I know that." Winston replied. "Soo…who was it then Persius?"
"I don't know, he had grey fur, and he was only a kid." Persius explained. When I heard him give the description, I got even more nervous and turned to walk away. "That's him!" I heard Persius say. Everyone saw him point at me, which made everyone look at me in shock. I turned around and walked up to Winston.
"Persius, this cant be him, he's the newest member of our pack, and he wouldn't even know about…your…territory." saying this made Winston look at me with questioning eyes. "Is this true Humphrey?" Winston asked.
"Yes sir, it is…" I said as I walked up to Persius. I stood under him, which he was huge and over towered me in height. "Persius, sir…it was me who has been crossing your territory and I am willing to take responsibility for my actions." I told him. He looked down at me with surprise to see me doing the right thing.
"…Humphrey?" I heard that familiar voice and turned to see Kate walking out of the crowd of people with worry in her eyes. "What's going on?" she asked as I walked over to her. "I thought I told you to wait in the den…what if something was to happen to you?" I said as I pulled her into a hug. I turned to look at Persius as I was still holding Kate in my arms.
"What are the consequences for breaking this rule?" I asked. "Death" Persius said. Saying this shocked me but also made Kate gasp out loud, which made her hold onto me tightly and started crying. "Nooo, no…you can't kill him." Kate yelled to him. "She's right, you cant kill him over that, he didn't know." Winston said "Ok then, how about banishment?" Persius asked "…He has no place to go!" Winston told him. "I will give him a consequence myself."
"Fine then, you will give him his punishment… but be warned, if you cross our territory again, we will not hesitate to kill you. Understood?" Persius asked me. "Yea sir, I understand, it will not happen again." I assured him.
"Well it seems were done here then, good day Winston, Humphrey." He said as he turned his back towards us. As he kept walking Persius told Winston something. "Ohh and Winston, tell Eve I said 'hello'." After saying that, they disappeared into the forest. Winston turned to look at me and sighed, as he walked away, and so did the rest of the crowd. Kate took her head out of my chest and looked at me with sadness.
"Is this what you didn't want to tell me?" she asked. I looked at her and nodded. "I'll tell you about it later. Lets go back to your den, I have to talk to your father." I told her. She nodded and kissed my forehead before we started walking. "Why did you come down here when I told you not to?" I asked her. "I…was worried…about you." she told me. Hearing this made me feel happy knowing she has feelings for me. "Thank you Kate, but can you please listen next time, what if something was to happen and you got hurt, I would be devastated, cause it would be my fault…" I told her. "No it wouldn't, don't say that…" she told me. "I know, its just…I worry about you Kate, that's all." We arrived at her den once more and we walked inside. I saw Winston sitting talking to Hutch.
"Ahh, there you are, I was just about to send for you." Winston told me.
"Yes sir, im ready for my punishment." I told him. "Ok, but first I want to say, that I am proud of you Humphrey for being responsible for your actions, and I am both shocked and surprised because you are the first Omega to ever do something like that to a pack leader." Winston said with pride. "And because of this, I am going to make you the leader of the Omega's." What I was hearing shocked me more and I was happy that he is awarding me for my actions. "Thank you sir, I will be the best Omega I can sir." I assured him. "Glad to hear it. Hutch could you excuse us for a moment please?" Winston turned to Hutch. "Yes sir." Hutch said, and as he walked past me he whispered 'good job' to me. "Kate, can you…"
"Can she stay sir, she just wants to be to listen to what im have to tell you?" I asked him.
"Yes, Kate can stay."
"Thank you sir." We all sat and talked about why I have been going over to the Northern Territory and I told them about Reznov and how me and him would meet and play together for a few hours and I told them about him leaving unexpectedly. Winston gave me my punishment, which was I had to eat last in the pack, right after the Omega's. and he told me I could not begin my leadership for the Omega's until after my punishment, which would last for a week. After we finished Kate asked me if I wanted to join her for dinner and I told her I would, but when we got to the feeding grounds she was already able to get her food, considering she was an Alpha. Even thou she could eat first, she grabbed her food and laid next to me and waited until I got mine. Which was at least 20 minutes more of waiting. By the time I was able to go and get my food, there was not much to eat, so I only had scraps and bones. I grabbed what food was left and lid back down next to Kate, I ate what was left of the food I had and I was still hungry because my stomach was growling. Kate laughed when she heard this and tour off some of her meat and gave it to me. "Kate, you don't have to give me your food, you need to eat." I told her but she didn't listen.
"You need it more than me, cause we need the Omega Leader to stay alive and not starve to death. Besides, im getting fat." She blurted out. "No your not, you look skinny and very beautiful." I told her and she started blushing, she laid her head in front of mine, so our noses were touching. She smiled and giggled when she saw me blush a little. We finished eating and headed back to my den, but before we did, she asked if she could stay with me for the night and surprisingly, Eve said yes, and we knew Winston would agree, but Eve was a shocker to us. When we got back to my den, we both played and wrestled for an hour or so, we were both wrestling and when she was on top of me our noses were touching again, which made us blush. But right before she got off me, I quickly licked her muzzle, which made her blush more. She got off me and we both laid down next to each other to fall asleep. "Goodnight Humphrey." Kate said. "Goodnight Kate." I told her right before I falled asleep. Even thou I had some of Kate's food, I was still a little hungry. "This is gonna be a long week!".
Well that was very interesting...how they came to tell on Humphrey, now he has a week of starvation...jk, im not that cruel...sometimes. well hope you enjoyed and as always, R&R (I like the reviews so far but i need more, they are my inspiration for continuing to write the story..and more for my other story 'A New Life') well have a nice day.-RussianWolf
