Well this chapter is going to be pretty good and have some heartbreak.
After everyone fell asleep, everything was fine until everyone was awaken by howling. Kate, Humphrey, Cando, and Hutch woke up immediately and bolted for the other den to see the three omegas terrified and in the back of the den.
Guys, stay here don't leave we'll be back." Humphrey said before turning to Cando. "Cando, stay with them and keep them safe if anyone comes here kill them but don't leave this den and howl if you need help." After that, the rest took off towards where the howl came from.
Humphrey knew right away where it was from, his sister's pack. As they ran through the dense trees the moon was blocked by storm clouds as a storm was approaching with thunder in the distance approaching fast. Soon after they arrived at the seen to see wolves biting and clawing each other as lightning flashed lighting up the seen. They split up taking off in different directions to aid their allies. Humphrey and Kate ran off to help their brother and sister while Hutch ran off to aid two cornered wolves. When Kate and Humphrey arrived at their den they saw them trapped in the back with six wolves there trapping them.
"We are going to kill all of you if you don't had over someone of importance!" the wolf in the front said who Humphrey and Kate remembered as the wolf that was there from the ambush a couple days ago. "If you don't maybe I should take your mate!" The wolf grabbed Luna and tossed her to three other wolves who grabbed her and began to drag her away only to be stopped by Kate and Humphrey. The leader turned around and saw his three wolves dead at Humphrey and Kate's feet.
"You might want to leave if you want to live." Humphrey said taking a step towards him.
"Ryan, I think we should retreat." a wolf next to him said.
"No, this is revenge and I planned for this to happen." Ryan said as he laughed evilly before howling. Immediately, ten wolves jumped into the den.
"Well, now you are outnumbered and we'll be taking your mate now." Ryan pointed to Luna as four wolves grabbed her and started to drag her away.
"No! Take me instead, I'm the one who killed your last leader." Humphrey said stepping forward.
"You're right. Let her go and take him." Ryan said as the four wolves violently grabbed Humphrey and dragged him out of the den.
"Humphrey! No please don't do this!" Kate said starting to cry.
"Kate I have to. I'm not going to let my sister get captured for something I did." Humphrey said before looking at her one last time. "I love you Kate." after that Humphrey was dragged away as all the wolves retreated to their territory.
All the survivors from the attack gathered at the den to see Kate crying uncontrollably on the den floor. Hutch pushed his way through the crowd and began to comfort Kate.
"Kate what happened and where id Humphrey?" Hutch said.
"They took him back to their territory and are probably going to kill him!" Kate said as she cried into his shoulder.
Jacob and Luna stepped out for a minute and talked with their second in command about the causalities after the battle before walking in again.
"Kate, he's not going to be there long." Jacob said. "We're going to get him. We'll send ten of our best alphas with you along with one of our pack healers. We would come too but we need to treat our injured wolves."
Kate looked up from crying and ran over and hugged Jacob and whispered "thank you". Jacob assembled ten alphas, and Catharine, the pack healer and put them in the command of Kate. Only twenty minutes after the attack, Kate, Hutch, and their strike team were already on their way following Humphrey's scent. After following it for about another ten minutes they arrived at the enemy's territory.
"Alright, Hutch lead eight of them into the side of their territory to draw their attention." Kate said pointing to the other side of the territory. "I'll take two alphas and Catharine to find Humphrey. Wait for my signal and when we find Humphrey we'll take him back to Jacob and Luna's territory."
Hutch nodded and took eight alphas and waited on the side of the territory. After waiting for about two minutes Hutch hears Kate howl signaling them to attack. Hutch and all of his wolves charged into the enemy's territory to buy Kate time to find Humphrey.
As Kate sat from their hiding spot she could see Hutch's team attacking. After looking around one alpha noticed a den with two wolves standing outside of it.
"Ma'am there is a den with two wolves standing outside it, that might have him inside." he said pointing to the den.
"Good work." Kate said before turning to everyone else. "Come on let's go."
Kate led her team around the den and climbed up the back of the den looking down the top of the den onto the two wolves. Kate signaled the two alphas to kill them silently as she and Catharine were going to walk in a see if Humphrey was there. The two alphas jumped down onto their backs pinning them and snapping their necks without anyone hearing. Kate led the pack healer inside as the bodies were dragged away. She noticed a lump of grey fur in the corner of the den knowing that it was Humphrey. She ran over to him and turned him over to see the terrible condition he was in. His face had several slash marks on it, his chest was bleeding terribly, and he had his ribs showing from being clawed. Kate was horrified at his condition and became worried wondering if he was still alive.
"Catharine please help him, I don't know if he is even alive." Kate said stepping aside to let her look.
Catharine checked his neck for a pulse and felt nothing but when she checked his wrist she felt a faint pulse.
"He's alive but barely, he may not make it if we don't get him back now." Catharine said motioning for the alphas to come. "Carry him back to the territory and fast!"
Without a word the two alphas picked him up and ran off with Catharine following. Kate ran off to the battle and saw Hutch fighting off two wolves. Kate ran over and quickly killed one as Hutch tore the throat out of the last one.
"Hutch we got him let's go!" Kate said as she ran over to alert everyone else.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Hutch yelled and him and Kate led everyone back to the territory with only two injuries.
Kate and Hutch ran back to their territory to see Cando laying on the ground waiting with two dead wolves laying in the den.
"There you are you've been gone for three hours and these two came over here trying to kill you and Humphrey but you guys were over at- wait were is Humphrey?" Cando said confused.
"We'll tell you what happened later but there's no time right now let's go!" Kate said leading the everyone back to Jacob and Luna's territory to see Humphrey.
That was a really long chapter. I spent about two hours on this which is the shortest time for a chapter this long. May not post tomorrow due to homework but may post Tuesday.
