Recap

When we left off Sam and Head Wolf had finally made it too the outlaw pack, but it was very short-lived and in a attempt to stop the war, Sam sacrificed himself by taking his father into a spiky death with him. Gavin, Sal's pup, watching horrifically as Sal threw Ash, Gavin's mother, into the pit along with Sam and Head Wolf, killing her. After he tooo off running into the forest, alone and lost. Eve also picked up David's body, taking it to the healing den, Jag had been approached had been approached by some wolf, and Garth finally made it home to his family...let us begin...once more...

(Jag and Iris; The forest; The next morning)

The brown and black furred wolves known only as Jag and Iris walked through the forest quietly side by side, with Iris slightly leaning on Jag. The forest was filled with pine trees and the floor was covered in grasses of all kinds. The sun had just risen over the forest and birds began to chirp. Even though Jag had lost his brother last night, something told him that today would be better. Jag and Iris were walking sountward to the southern pack. After Iris found Jag in the woods, Jag told her all about everything that had happened and that he needed to find his brother's daughter, he owed it to him. Iris was more than eager to help Jag on his way there so he allowed her to join him on his quest. As of now the pair had made it half way to the southern pack and at the moment that's all Jag was sure of. Many things were flowing throughout his mind.

How am I gonna get through?

Where am I even gonna find his daughter?

How did he even have a daughter in the first place?

Jag then decided that he needed a plan. Jag stopped walkin right where he was-which was in between multiple pine trees and a small grass clearing-and turned to Iris.

"We need a plan."

"What do you mean Jaggy?" She asked tilting her head, pouting.

"If we go in there with no explanation, no anything, they'll kill us."

"Oh no Jaggy I don't wanna die." She told him starting to cry.

"No no don't worry, we'll make a plan." He explained to her while patting her back. "We'll come up with something." He finished and gave her cheek a lick.

She giggled and smiled, once again happy.

After this, Jag began ripping the grass from the ground in the middle of the clearing.

Scared, Iris sat down like a dog would and asked him,"Jaggy what are you doing?"

"I'm making a spot to plan something." He told her, stopping his slaughtering of grass.

Jag sighed and extended one claw from his left paw and began, to what it seemed like to Iris, doodling into dirt.

"Jaggy?"

"Yeah Iris?"

"Aren't you upset about your brother?"

Jag was taken aback. This was the first time that she had sounded so serious, even when she talked her father out of murdering Jag she wasn't as serious as she was now.

"I am...just...trying not to think about it. We need to save his daughter."

Iris nodded and after a few minutes Jag stood back from his intense doodling and admired it.

Iris stepped forward confidently. "What's the plan Jaggy?"

"Alright well since they know me, I'll let them know that you are someone I've taken prisoner and that I request entry into the pack grounds. Once in we start searching around but we have to keep a low profile. Okay?"

"Ummm so...sneaky sneaky...findy findy? Got it!"

Jag faced pawed and shook his head.

"Close enough, let's get walking we still have a ways to go."

(Humphrey and Kate; The healing den; That morning)

Ever since Humphrey had returned from his alpha training early, he and Kate had been trying to have pups in secret. Nothing had been working for them though. The couple was so happy for Lily and Garth that they wanted pups of their own land thought to themselves,"Why not?" But something was happening, no how matter many times the couple tried, nothing. Seeking help they went to Eve, who, sure wasn't happy about the fact that the pair had been mating, but was deeply concerned about why they couldn't have pups. Soon as of now the couple was waiting outside the small healing den sitting side by side not saying a word but both equally filled with anxiety. Minutes upon minutes passed with nothing and when Eve finally came about a half hour later she didn't look to happy. Hopping down from the den's ledge she spoke something to them,

"I found out what it is...it isn't good."

Shaking, Kate asked her, "What is it mom?"

"It's not you Kate...it's Humphrey...he's sterile...it's physically impossible for you to have pups, I'm sorry..."

Humphrey's eyes went wide as Kate's filled with tears. Seeing her daughter cry, Eve couldn't help but join in. Humphrey only stood there, staring off into the distance, while horrible, sad thoughts danced through his head.

(Gavin; The forest; Morning)

The night hadn't been easy for Gavin. After what happened with his father he just ran and ran through the woods not sure where her was going. He just ran and ran and ran his life away till the rain came and he had to find shelter. The shelter he found was a hole in the ground that he buried himself in, using dirt to cover him. The black furred pup hadn't really thought this trough and when the morning came around the dirt was super stiff. Gavin had to push and push for the dirt to break and when it did he leapt out and gulped a huge breathe of air and examined his surroundings. Trees as far as he could see and a lake, not just any lake, the shimmering lake of the United Packs.

Climinbing from the hole, everything from last night hit him and he fell down crying on his side. He cried for what to him seemed like hours, but in reality was only minutes. Minutes of crying without any indication of stopping. So much so he hadn't heard the all black furred wolf approach him on the lake basin. The wolf spoke,

"Hey Son..."

(Winston and Hutch; The Alpha Den; Morning)

Winston was sitting in his den all alone and resting. This past week had been a lot of stress on him with preparing for war and not knowing when the war could start, and to top it all off David had died last night and Head Wolf and Sam had gotten away. He hadn't yet known of their deaths but it was still stressful nontheless. While he had been thinking Hutch, a dark grey furred wolf with black streaks, came into his den. Standing up he asked his right hand Alpha what the problem was.

"Sir the leader of the outlaws has come to speak with you."

Shocked, Winston responded a minute later.

"Send him in."

Hutch nodded and yelled outside the den.

"COME IN!"

Sal slowly walked into the den and chuckled with an evil grin.

"Long time no see Winston."

"Same to you Sal."

Their were a few moments of silence before Winston spoke again.

"What is your business here in my pack?

"I've come to tell you about War."

"Really?"

"Yes and I assume since you had two of Head Wolf's sons you know the plan so let me make this quick. Anymore time spent in this shit pile you call a pack and I'll throw up. I'm here to tell you that you have two months to prepare for war."

"Two months?"

Sal nodded still grinning.

"Alright you've told me, now leave my shit pile and go back to your hell hole."

"Oh Winston, you're funny you, I'd also thought I'd let you know that, you're first on my list. You might wanna be prepared."

And with that Sal turned to leave the den, walking past Hutch, and jumping down out of the den. Watching this, Winston became curious.

"Hutch watch the den, I'm following him."

"Yes sir."

Winston exited the den slowly as to not draw attention to himself and quietly stalked behind Sal. The black furred wolf was being oddly weird, he wasn't heading towards his back, but the lake. Continuing to follow him Winston stayed low to the ground as Sal walked through some brush and out into the lake basin. Staying on the brush Winston saw Sal's face light up as he looked off at something not to far away. Following his line of sight Winston saw a small black pup. Sal began to approach the pup before saying to it.

"Hey son..."

As the pup stood up from being spoken to Winston was shocked.

His son? What's he doing here? He thought to himself.

Inspecting closer he saw that the pups face was coated in tears and his face was ridden with fear from seeing his father. Winston knew something wasn't right and continued to watch the scene unfold. As the black furred pup tried to dash away into the woods Sal extended his claws and punched on the pup sinking his claws the pups back and his tiny scream filling the air. Winston was shocked, but wasted no time in leaping forward, dashing from behind the bushes at Sal.

Hearing the brush shake when Winston came out from behind caused Sal to let go of his son and tune around to see a charging Winston. Sal had no time to prepare as he was immediately rammed into and sent flying across the base of the lake, skidding in the mud from last nights rain and indenting the ground with his body shape.

While Sal slowly got back up on all fours Winston was inspecting the now passed out pup. Seeing Winston wasn't paying attention Sal took to the opportunity and jumped at Winston, claws extended. Simply ducking Winston dodged him and another indent was made as Sal slid across the floor again. Winston had become angry, so before Sal could stand up Winston walked over and pinned him down.

"What are your intentions with this pup?!" He asked whilst yelling in his face.

"What did it look like?! I was gonna kill him!"

"He's your son!"

"No he's a worthless pieced omega trash."

This sent Winston over the edge, Winston lived Omegas because of how helpful and positive they were and us always been great friends with them. He even had a daughter that was an omega and Sal had basically insulted her. Winston furiously barred his teeth and bit down on Sal's shoulder and picked him up with and slammed him on his back before letting go.

"Holy Hell...that actually hurt..." Sal told him standing up, grasping his shoulder.

"This is my pack...Leave now...I will be the one to determine the fate of this pup, father or not, he's in my territory now...LEAVE!" Winston barked at Sal.

"I'm...going...but I will be back Winston...I will have your head! Count on it!" Sal shouted as he tooo off into the forest leaving Winston and his son behind at the lake.

Noticing the pup had begun to stir, Winston walked over to him in hopes of asking him some questions, but not before he said to himself,

"Im getting to old for this."

Hearing this unknown voice scared the pup and he jumped up and looked at Winston.

"P-please don't hurt me..."

"Now why would I wanna do that? Tell me little one, what is your name?"

"It's...G-Gavin."
