Humphrey's P.O.V.
"Wh-Why Do You Have That Many Wolves" I Asked Nervously.
"Because I Am Going To Kill You" He Replied.
"No You're Not Because Humphrey Is Under The Protection Of This Pack" Emily Said Angrily.
"Yeah And What Are You Going To Do Princess" Charlie Laughed.
"We're Going To Fight Back" Luke Said.
"Then You Will Die With Humphrey" Charlie Replied. None Of Us Knew What To Do, Charlie Had Around Twenty More Wolves Than Us, Plus We Were Only Pups, We Couldn't Fight Twenty Adult Wolves. Eventually Luke Spoke Up.
"Girls Run, We Will Be Fine" He Said.
"We Are Not Leaving You Guys" Elizabeth Said, Luke Then Kissed Her.
"I'm Not Giving You An Option, Run And Get Help We Will Cover Your Escape" He Said.
"But" Elizabeth Tried To Protest.
"NOW!" Luke Yelled. The Girls Then Started To Run, Charlie Tried To Send Half Of His Wolves After Them But We Stepped In Front Of Them Covering Their Escape.
"How Cute, The Guys Coming To The Girls Rescue" Charlie Laughed.
"Leave Them Out Of This, This Is Between You And Me!" I Said Angrily To Charlie.
"Then Call Off Your Friends And I Will Do The Same" He Said.
"Guys, Stand Back" I Said.
"Everyone At Ease" Charlie Said To His Wolves. Both Parties Of Wolves Backed Down Leaving Only Humphrey And Charlie In The Middle.
"Are You Ready To Die?" Charlie Asked.
"No, But Are You?" I Replied. He Growled At This And Began To Circle Me And I Copied Him, Soon We We're Circling Each Other And Sizing Each Other Up. I Knew That If I Went At Him In A Traditional Fight I Would Lose For Sure As He Was Slightly Trained In Fighting Since He Was A Alpha, So I Would Need To Be Fast And Sneaky. At Last He Jumped Towards Me But Was Slow And I Was Able To Duck Under Him As He Went Flying Over Me, He Landed On His Feet But Was Angry He Didn't Get Me.
"You Worthless Excuse For A Wolf COME HERE!" He Yelled And Charged Me Again, This Time I Side Stepped To The Right And Tripped Him, He Rolled For A Good Distance Before To Finally Coming To A Stop. He Got Back Up And But Didn't Attack Me This Time, He Just Began To Circle Me Again Reevaluating His Attack Strategy. However After A While He Appeared To Just Get Tired Of This.
"You Know What You Aren't Worth The Energy, Wolves Attack" He Commanded. Slowly His Wolves Began Advancing On Us, Growling And Snapping Their Jaws In What I Guess Was A Intimidation Tactic. I Didn't Care Though, I Had Gotten The Love Of My Life To Safety And That's All That Mattered To Me. I Looked Over And Only Saw Luke Back With Me Though.
"I Sent James And Jason Away, They Looked Terrified So I Just Told Them To Run And Try To Get Help" He Said.
"Okay Good Job They Shouldn't Get Killed Over This And Neither Should You" I Said.
"I Would Rather Stay Here And Die In A Service To My Pack Then Run" He Said As We Were Both About To Be Cornered Up Against A Tree.
"I Can See Why Elizabeth Fell In Love With You, You Always Put Others Before Yourself" I Said.
"Same To You" He Replied.
"Thanks" I Said.
"Enough, Are You Ready To Die?" Charlie Said.
"Yes" I Said.
"Good And Don't Worry This Will Only Hurt A Lot" He Said, Me And Luke Both Closed Our Eyes Ready To Meet Our End. "Oh Well I Had A Good Run, I Had A Great Family, Great Friends, And Then I Had The Wolf That I Was Going To Die For To Protect, Please Don't Forget About Me Emily" I Thought. Then Something Happened That None Of Us Saw Coming, Just As Charlie Was About To Go For My Neck A Wolf Jumped Out Of Nowhere And Tackled Him To The Ground. I Opened My Eyes And Saw Emily On Top Of Him. Charlie's Wolf's Looked Too Surprised To Do Anything So I Quickly Ran Over And Pulled Her Off Of Him.
"Emily Come On Lets Go" I Said.
"Go Where?" She Asked.
"I Don't Know, Anywhere But Here" I Replied.
"But Why Retreat When You Can Fight" She Said. I Looked At Her Puzzled By What She Meant Until She Pointed Behind Me. When I Looked Back I Was Shocked, Almost Every Alpha In The Pack Was Behind Us. That Must Have Been Why Charlie's Wolves Looked Shocked, I Guess They Were Scared By The Number Of Wolves We Had.
"So You Can't Fight Your Own Battles So You Have To Rely On Others Instead" Charlie Laughed.
"I Don't Think That Was Necessarily A Fair Fight Charlie" Luke Said.
"No Matter, You Will All Be Dead Soon Enough" He Replied.
"What Do You Mean, We Have At Least Thirty More Wolves Then You?" Emily Said. He Just Laughed At This.
"Ha, You're More Gullible Than King Said You Be" He Said
"King, Who's King?" I Asked.
"Charlie What The Hell Do You Think You Are Doing!" Noah Yelled As He Stepped Out From The Crowd Of Alphas.
"Ahh The Great Pack Leader Returns To Me At Last, Thank You Noah For Making This Easy For Me" He Replied.
"Charlie I Don't Know What This Is Or Why You Are Doing This But As Your Father I Command You To Stop" Jackson Said As He Joined Noah.
"I Don't Think So" He Said.
"Why Are You Even Doing This?" Hannah Said As She Joined Jackson And Noah.
"Why Am I Doing This, Because You Harbour This Bastard Who Thinks He Can Just Steal MY Girl. Especially As He Is Just A Pathetic Omega" He Said.
"Charlie As Your Father I Am Very Ashamed In You, Now Come Over Here And Tell Those Other Wolves To Leave NOW!" Jackson Said
"I Don't Think So, And Besides Even If I Did Want To Come Back There Isn't Going To Be A Pack To Come Back To For Much Longer" He Said
"Wh-What" Noah Said, Just Then A Howl Was Heard Throughout The Area.
"This Was Only A Diversion So The Main Attack Could Easily Overwhelm Your Border Guards And Overrun Any Sort Of Defences Your Omega's Could Put Up. We Knew That Emily Would Get As Many Alphas That Weren't On Border Patrol As She Could" He Said.
"We?" Noah Asked
"Yes We" Said A Voice Behind Us. We All Turned Around A Saw About 50 More Wolves Behind Us.
"Who Are You?" Asked Noah.
"I Am The Infamous King" The Wolf Replied.
"King, From The Legend Of-Of" Noah Stammered.
"Yes From The Legend Of Conrad Von Hotzendorf" King Finished.
"Bu-But He Isn't Here" Riley Said.
"That Is What You Think, There Is A Part Of The Legend That Not Many Know" He Said.
"And What Is That?" Noah Said.
"The Names Of The Parents Of Hotzendorf" He Finished.
"I Can Assure You That Wolf Is Not Here, Now Please Just Leave Before Any Blood Is Spilled" Noah Said.
"The Parents Names Are Gordon And Zoe" He Said. Suddenly All Of The Alphas Were Shocked And Turned To Look At My Parents Who We're Just As Surprised, Luke And Elizabeth Were Confused But Emily Was Shocked Too. Eventually All The Alphas Looked At Me With Shocked Faces.
"Mom, Dad Why Is Everyone Looking At Me Like That?" I Asked.
"Humphrey Leave Now!" Gordon Said.
"But I Don't Want To Lea"
"LEAVE NOW!" Gordon Said.
"Come On Humphrey Lets Go!" Emily Said As She Pulled Me. Soon Me, Emily, Luke, And Elizabeth Were Running Back To The Main Pack Area.
"Emily What Is Going On, Why Was Everyone Looking At Me And My Parents Like That?" I Asked As We Were Running.
"Do You Not Know The Legend?" She Asked.
"What Legend?" I Replied.
"My Father Told Me The Legend Since I Was Next In Line To Become The Leader Of The Pack" She Said.
"Well Then What Is The Legend?" Elizabeth Asked.
"The Legend Of Conrad Von Hotzendorf Tells About A Wolf That Through His Puphood Was Bullied For Being An Omega, And How He Would Fight Against Another Wolf Named King In A Effort To Prove That Omegas Were Equal To Alphas" She Explained.
"Well I Guess That Explains Why He Is After Humphrey, He Wants To Kill Him Before Humphrey Can Ever Raise An Army To Fight Him" Luke Said.
"And Why He Is After Our Pack" Emily Said.
"Why Would He Be After Our Pack?" Elizabeth Asked
"I've Heard Stories From My Father And From Lone Wolves About Packs West Of Here That Treat Omega's More Like Slaves Than Actual Members Of Their Pack's, And Our Pack Is Regarded As One Of The Packs That Treat Omega's The Best Since Here The Rank Defines Your Job And Not Where You Stand In A Social Structure" Emily Explained.
"So King Wants To Wipe Us Out So There's No One That Can Challenge Him In The Future" I Said.
"I Guess" Emily Replied. Just Then We Came Into A Clearing That Served As The Main Pack Area, Only Something Was Off, There Were No Wolf's Around And No Sign Of Recent Activity At All.
"Where Is Everyone?" I Said.
"I Don't Know" Replied Luke. Then We All Smelled Something, A Certain Smell, A Smell That Can Only Mean One Thing, Blood.
"Do You Guys Smell That?" I Asked.
"Yeah" Elizabeth Said.
"It Is Coming From Over The Hill That Leads To The Emergency Dens" Luke Said. We Began Climbing The Small Hill And When We Reached The Top The Scene We Saw Was Unimaginable, Some Of The Alphas That Were On Border Patrol And Almost All Of The Omegas Had Been Slaughtered. Blood Stained The Grass, Destroyed Bodies Of Pup And Adult Wolves At Everywhere.
"How Did This Happen, The Emergency Dens Should Have Prevented This?" Emily Said.
"King Must Have Attacked So Quickly That No One Had Time To Escape Or Reach The Dens" Luke Said. Emily Began To Break Down And Cry.
"This All My Fault" She Wailed.
"How Is This Your Fault?" I Asked As I Pointed To The Scene Before Us.
"If I Didn't Take Every Alpha In The Pack Then They Might Have Been Able To Fight Off Or At Least Hold Kings Wolves Back Long Enough For The Pups And Omegas To Get Away At Least" She Said.
"Emily The Omegas Would Have Stayed And Helped The Alphas, It Was Part Of Their Duty" I Said As I Comforted Her.
"Maybe Your Right, But It Was Still My Fault They Had No Chance Since I Took The Alphas To Fight King" She Said. I Didn't Know How To Respond To That So I Just Held Her And Let Her Softly Cry Into My Fur. I Looked Over At Luke And Saw Him Comforting Elizabeth As Well.
"So What Do We Do Now?" I Asked After A While.
"I Say We Wait Here And Hope That The Alphas Pull Through" Luke Said.
"Wait The Alphas, Oh My God Our Parents" Emily Cried.
"They Will Be Fine Emily, Remember All Of Our Parents Are Alphas They Will Be Fine" Luke Said.
"No They Wont, In The Legend It States How The Wolves In Kings Army Are Elite" Emily Said. We All Didnt Know What To Do So We Just Sat Were We Were For A While With Still No Sign Of The Alphas, Eventually We Just Decided To Go Back And Try To Find Them.
"How Close Do You Think we Are?" Elizabeth Asked After A While.
"We Have To Be Getting There" I Replied. Just Then We Heard The Sounds Of Wolves Fighting So We Began To Run Source Of The Sounds.
"Oh My God" Emily Said As We Got To The Battle Scene. There Were Wolves Dead Or Dying On The Ground From Both Sides, There Were Wolves Still Fighting, And King, Charlie, And Another Wolf Who Had Brown Fur With Brown Eyes Were Just Sitting In The Back Watching The Battle. Then We Saw Our Parents Who We're Ironically The Last Ones Left On Our Side As The Rest Of The Wolves Had Either Been Killed Or Had Retreated. They Said Something We Couldn't Hear And Then We're Swarmed By About Twenty Wolves, They Tried To Fight Them Off But We're Overrun Almost Instantly Which Resulted In Them Being Defeated Quickly.
"Mom, Dad" I Mumbled Sadly On The Verge Of Crying. I Looked Over At The Others And Saw Luke On The Verge Of Crying As Well And Emily And Elizabeth Had Tears Running Down Their Faces.
"Finally We Are Victorious" King Congratulated His Wolves. We Just Sat In The Bushes and Watched.
"However We Are Not Done Yet, We Still Must Kill Hotzendorf" King Stated.
"DeLancey Fan Out With These Wolves And Slaughter Any Survivors You Find And If You See Hotzendorf Howl" King Said To The Brown Wolf Who He Was Sitting Next To.
"Yes Sire" DeLancey Replied In A Weird Accent Like King's.
"Good, Charlie You Are With Me In Tracking Down Hotzendorf And Killing Him" King Finished.
"Very Well Sir" Charlie Said. With That Charlie And King Walked Off While Delancey Took The Remaining Wolves To Try And Locate Any Survivors From Kings Earlier Attack On The Actual Pack.
"Come On Lets Get Out Of Here" Luke Said After They Were Gone.
"Hang On" Emily Sniffled, She Got Up And Walked Over To Her Parents With The Rest Of Us Copying Her. Everyone Silently Agreed On Giving Each Other Some Time With Their Parents, I Approached My Parents First.
"Hey Mom Hey Dad, I Just Wanted To Say Goodbye And Thank You For All You've Done For Me, Thank You For Excepting Emily Into Our Family And For Letting Us Run, I Will Avenge This Pack As Conrad Von Hotzendorf And Thank You For All You've Done For Me And Know That I Will Always Love You, Goodbye" I Thought.
Emily's P.O.V.
"Hey Guys I Just Wanted To Say Thank You For All You Have Done For Me And For Excepting Humphrey Into Our Family And I Will Love You Forever".
Luke's P.O.V.
"Mom, Dad I Know That You Might Not Be Able To Even Hear Me But I Wanted To Say Thank You For Taking Care Of Me And Excepting Elizabeth Into Our Family, I Will Always Love You And I Will Try To Avenge This Pack, Goodbye For Now".
Elizabeth's P.O.V.
"Hey Mom And Dad I Just Wanted To Let You Guys Know That You Were The Best Parents I Could Have Ever Asked For And Thank You For Excepting Luke Into Our Family, I Will Love You For Eternity And I Will Never Stop Loving You Guys Or Luke, Goodbye".
Humphrey's P.O.V.
"After Everyone Was Done We Began To Silently Walk To The Small Den We Had Built On The Outskirts Of The Pack To Act As A Temporary Shelter. Before We Got To The Den We Crossed A River To Wash Our Scents Off, When We Got To The Den Everyone Just Went Into The Sleeping Rooms With Their Respective Partner And Fell Asleep".
