Chapter 10: Love Hurts

The next day

Kate's POV

I woke up laying on Humphrey's belly and for an instance I felt at peace, like I belonged, it was as if everything was right in the world. I forgot about Summer and the fact I could never be with Humphrey, the only wolf that I love. I just stayed there and watched Humphrey sleep, he looked so calm and peaceful... and when he finally woke up he didn't get up, he stayed with me.

"Good-morning Kate" he said while getting up.

"Good-morning Humphrey" I replied with a big grin.

And at that moment my stomach let out a large growl which sounded more like lion's roar.

"Are you hungry?" he said while giggling.

"Kind of, I haven't eaten since I left the western pack searching for you" I explained.

"Oh, that's a long time let's go hunt for some food for you then" he told me.

"But I'm too exhausted to hunt" I said.

"Don't worry" he replied.

We went to a big grazing patch and saw a few caribou eating.

"Stay down" he said and with that he leaped and killed one caribou.

"Wow nice moves..." I said," Its almost as if you were an alpha"

"That is because I am" he told me.

I was shocked, I mean I always knew he was capable but still...

"Wow! That's amazing!" I told him, "I knew you were capable of being an alpha! And I was wondering why you looked so much hotter and stronger"

He blushed when I told him that and then killed the mood by saying, "Yeah I owe it all to Summer, she is the one who trained me!"

"Why do you have to bring her up?" I said infuriate, "Do you not understand that every time you mention her name I feel as if I'm drowning and cant breathe"

"I'm sorry Kate" he said.

"Its fine I know you didn't do it on purpose.." I said.

We ate in silence until I said "Wanna go log sledding?"

"Sure!" he said.

We found a log and were on the top of a huge hill I was rubbing up against Humphrey's warmth and taking advantage of the time with him. We were about to go when I heard someone say "Wait for me!" It was Summer.. Of course, it had to be her. She got on the log and got right in between me and Humphrey and nuzzled up to him, then she looked back at me and gave me an evil grin I guess to rub into my face that Humphrey was with her now. And without notice Humphrey let go of the ground and the log flew almost. Summer was so busy bragging that she didn't even have time to grab on to the log and flew off. Humphrey didn't even notice so I didn't bother telling him, I just scooted up and nuzzled up to him.

We kept log sledding until we saw a rock in the distance and Humphrey yelled, "ROCK!" it was too late to evade it so we crashed and I held on to him as we flew off, I ended up landing on him, nose to nose. When he realized what we were doing he shook me off which kind of hurt and asked, "Where's Summer" with a worried expression.

"Oh when you let go and we went down the hill she wasn't holding on and she fell off" I explained, "I meant to tell you but um... I um.. got a bug in my mouth!"

"We need to find her!" he shouted.

"I caught onto her scent" I said, " She's that way"

I finally led him to her and she was on the ground whimpering in pain but if I weren't mistaken it sounded as if she were faking.

"Summer? What happened?" Humphrey asked.

"When I fell off I think I sprained my paw" she cried.

I examined the paw that was supposedly in 'pain'. There was nothing wrong... My mom had taught me everything she knew about healing. SO I knew she was faking.

"How?" Humphrey asked.

"Well Kate pushed me off and I hit a tree and fell on my paw" she said while 'trying' to get up but falling back down in 'pain'.

"What?" he said shocked, "Kate I need to speak with you"

He walked off and I followed.

"What happened to you?" he asked, "you've changed, you were never like this."

"Humphrey! She's lying" I cried.

"How can you be capable of this?" he shouted.

"Please you have to believe me" I yelled back, "I didn't push her"

"Well guess what? I don't believe you" he said.

"Humphrey she's pretending-" I said.

I was interrupted by Humphrey saying, "Don't even go there now your gonna say she made this whole thing up... really? I thought you were better than that."

I was gonna explain to him how she wasn't hurt but I new he wouldn't believe me so instead I just said, "Wow. I really thought you knew me better than that. How could you even think for a second that I am capable of this. You know what, i'm done with this, no matter what I say you'll always take her side. I'm leaving tonight at 8 meet me at the train if you still want to go back to the western pack to invite your friends to your STUPID wedding." I seriously was hurt that he thought of me in such a horrible way. Now more than ever I knew I had to leave the western pack as soon as I got there, I can't take it.

I walked away crying.

Humphrey's POV

Could she be right? Of course not no wolf would pretend to be hurt I let Kate go and went back to tend to Summer who was badly injured from what I cant tell. But I still don't think Kate was capable of this, I am truly shocked at this new behavior of Kate's.
