Chapter 9: Again

Kate P.O.V.

I clawed him, he fell to the ground, I guess I hit him harder than I intended. He's been out for few hours now. Michael helped me take him back to the prison they kept him in. I felt so bad for him, obviously something was wrong with him, he was talking to himself and told me to run. I couldn't take it. I tried to claw him to get him back to his senses, but I hit him much harder than what I meant to.

When I got back, my father told me to get away from him. I refused, so he had Michael and Joseph grab me and forcefully pull me away from Humphrey.

"What are you doing? I am your leader! Let go of me immediately!"

"Sorry miss, we are just trying to protect you." They didn't let go.

"I order you to let go of me, NOW!" They let go the moment I yelled at them.

"Sorry, we were just trying to protect you." they repeated.

My father came over, "Kate, I need you to stay away from Humphrey, he tried to kill you, multiple times now."

"No, he needs my help!" I said crying.

"It's too late for that, there is nothing you can help with now."

"NO!" I screamed! He then grabbed me and dragged me to the alpha den where Garth and my mother were.

"I need you to leave for the moment, Eve, go check on Humphrey's wounds and make sure they don't get infected." He paused and turned to Garth, "You should go and put more alphas on guard in front of Humphrey's 'den'. You should also be there to guard." He quickly left as my father came close to me and let me sit down at the back of the den.

"Why can't I see Humphrey!? He needs me!"

"Kate, the Humphrey you knew is most likely gone. He is now a killer."

"What do you mean? He can't be gone, he's right there in that prison you created for him!"

"That's not Humphrey!"

"Then who is it? WHO IS IT!"

"I sorry to tell you this, but Humphrey is having some mental problems. It is much like a split personality, but worse."

"How do you know, I was just talking to him a few hours ago!"

"He told me that he was having some problems. Now this isn't much to go I know, but I've seen it once before, in a wolf pup I found a few months before I became leader."

"What happened to him?"

"I'll start from the beginning…"

I was returning from a mission I was sent on by the leader of the time. I was going through the clearing that I found Humphrey in about a year later. I saw a small pup there, he was unconscious. I took him in, hoping I could help him.

When he woke, he tried to run, but I stopped him. Eve and I were just starting off together, we were afraid to try and have pups, but we later did because we had you and Lilly. Anyways, she was excited to have a pup in the den. She wanted pups, but not to actually 'have' pups. She quickly became a mother to him over a few weeks.

The pup I found out was from the Sawtooth pack I warned you about in alpha school. He had amnesia, but I knew because of how he looked. He easily molded into our pack, and became an omega. He started to come to me in the middle of the night to tell me that he was having a nightmare. I didn't realize what was happening until after he turned.

He was the nicest of omegas, I didn't train him to become an alpha because I wasn't the leader at the time, and the leaders at the time wouldn't allow it. I truly treated him like a son. He thought that he was are son. Well, that is what we told him at least. One night, I asked him what his nightmares were about.

His nightmares were the worst things that could happen to a pup. He was beaten, clawd, and even bitten at times. I told him to try and forget about it, but the dreams kept coming back. It didn't take long after that I realized that those were all actually memories that he had been slowly regaining.

He was from the Sawtooth pack where they train their pups at a very young age. They are trained as assassins to go and kill off a pack. I guess he was sent to kill me after I killed their leader. He soon remembered who he was, and he then started to have violent outbreaks to where he ended up killing one of our betas. He was sent to banishment.

A year after that, I found Humphrey. I took him in feeling that it would make up for what I had done before. If I was a better father to him, then maybe he wouldn't of turned and killed someone, maybe he would be here right now to help me out.

He started to cry, I've never seen my father cry before. "What happened to him after?"

He came back to me while you were in Idaho with Humphrey. He wanted forgiveness, and I granted it to him. I kept him a secret from your mother, and he lived in a den that was south of here. I saw him almost every day. One night I decided to visit him when I should of been at the moonlight howl with your mother. He told me about something that happened to him, he talked about seeing a happy life that he could of have, but he threw it all away when he was banished. He talked about how he then saw a wolf that looked much like him in appearance, but to him he had blood-red eyes and was just very demon like.

I told him that everything would be fine, that he was back with me, and that I would always love him. That night he lost himself to the demon inside him.

All of the Sawtooth wolves were feral wolves, meaning that they're meant to be violent and to kill. The amnesia, caused the violence to be subsided for a period of time. After it wears off, the feral wolf inside is released more violent than ever; after all, it was pushed back for many of years. once the feral wolf is released, it wants to kill anyone it can that isn't important to them.

"So what happened to him?" I asked dumbly.

He lost control and wanted to kill me. The Sawtooth wolves are all feral, so it's in their blood. The Sawtooth wolves also train their pups to hate all outsiders. The feral wolf will kill anyone that isn't from their pack. So when he turned, he tried to kill me.

"What did you do to him?"

I killed him.

I gasped. I couldn't bare to kill my child, even if it wasn't my real child. "Why did you kill him? Couldn't there of been something else that you could do?"

"No, there wasn't. I knew a lot about the Sawtooth wolves since I was in war with them. There had been many stories like this over time. I just thought that I could help him and redeem him."

"So why are you telling me this?" I asked, fearing the answer.

"I so sorry Kate, but Humphrey is a feral wolf from the Sawtooth pack."

"NO! No, I can help him! I can fix this!" I started to cry.

"I'm sorry Kate, but don't make the same mistake I did. Just put Humphrey out of his misery, before he hurts someone."

"NO!" I screamed at him as I ran out only to find Humphrey right outside my den, seeming to be waiting for me.
