Chapter 10- Prophet

Nicky

It's been two days since I've confronted Humphrey. I was overjoyed knowing that I had a mate who truly cared about me. I didn't want pups this early, but with Humphrey by my side I was still happy. Humphrey got a day off and spent the whole time with me, but today he was back to training. A few females from the pack stayed with me while Humphrey was gone. They asked many questions about our relationship. I was slightly annoyed, but at the same time happy to be able to talk to someone.

Shelby

Throughout training I felt depressed. I watched Humphrey train with John and Sasha bitterly. All hopes of being with Humphrey were washed away. I couldn't help but to feel slightly happy for him. He was going to be a father. I was forced to be alone. I definitely didn't want to be with anyone else in this pack.

I didn't know what to do when he came to me. I tried to act normal, but I couldn't hide my sorrow. He asked me what was wrong, but I told him it was nothing. Luckily, my father came and got him before I started training him. I walked off into the forest trying to pull myself together.

Humphrey

Training was difficult, especially when all I wanted to do was see Nicky. I developed even stronger feelings for her when I found out she was pregnant. I rushed through Johns and Sasha's training. When I got to Nicky she seemed depressed. She couldn't be upset about Nicky and I's pups, could it? Before I got a chance to talk to her about it, her dad showed up and dragged me away. He smiled at me fondly. I wondered what he wanted. He lead me back to his den. It was fairly big and had a cross made of sticks on top of it.

"I heard you got Nicky pregnant" He says before we walk into the den.

"Yes" I reply blushing.

"Good for you" He says half heartedly.

He sighed and sat down. I nervously fumbled with my paws.

"I brought you here for an important reason" He started "Fenrir has spoken to me about a prophecy".

"You've spoken with Fenrir?" I ask astonished.

"Yes. He has told me that a wolf from the south, who is least expected, to lead us to safety" He explains.

"Me?" I ask, unsure about this.

"I think so" He says.

"What am I supposed to do?" I ask.

"I don't know. You must contact him" Blake says.

"How?"

He motions towards a rock in the back of the den. In front of the rock is another cross.

"Close your eyes and wait" He instructs.

I sit on the stone and close my eyes. I felt very ridiculous, but Blake seemed very serious about this. I waited and waited, but nothing happened. I had been there for two hours.

"Can I go back to my den for the night?" I ask.

"This will take a long time to make a connection with Fenrir" Blake says.

"I'll try again tomorrow" I tell him.

"Fine" He snarls.

I run out of the den and towards Nicky's.

Nicky

I waited in the den for my mates return. He was almost two hours late from training. Anger was swelling up inside me. How could he be this late? My anger turns into worry. What if something bad happened to him! I begin to pace around the den. Humphrey soon stroll in casually as if he were right on time.

"Where have you been?" I growl.

"Blake wanted me. Is everything okay?"

"What did Blake want with you?" I ask curiously.

"He thinks that I'm the savior of this pack sent by Fenrir, or something like that" He says.

I knew that Blake was stubborn, and wouldn't leave Humphrey in peace until he found another wolf he thought was "the one". Poor Humphrey would be stuck on in impossible mission for a very long time.

"Blake is very faithful. Don't do, or say anything to anger him" I tell him.

"I won't"

I lay down, suddenly tired from standing up. This happened often for the past few days. Soon, I wouldn't even be able to walk to the food supply den. Somebody would have to bring me food.

"Are you getting close?" Humphrey asks.

I laugh when I realize what he's asking.

"No, Humphrey. The pups will be coming in about a month and a half" I tell him.

He flattens his ears back against his head in embarrassment. I giggle.

"Come here" I plead.

He obediently walks towards me, and lies down. I snuggle against him, his fur brushing against mine. Nothing else was said that night, but nothing needed to be.

Humphrey

I jumped up, pulling from Nicky's embrace. She slowly got up, still half asleep. She let out a short yawn and stretched. I thought back to my dream that I had.

"What's the matter?" Nicky was clearly annoyed.

"I don't believe it" I mumble.

I dart out of the den running towards Blake's den. I barge into his the den yelling his name.

He growls as he gets up "What is it"

"I saw Fenrir! He came to me in a dream" I exclaim.

His eyes light up. I hear panting, and I turn around to see Nicky running into the den. She lies on the ground, completely out of breath. She rolls on her side to allow her lungs to expand further. I nuzzle her stomach in concern.

"You shouldn't have run" I tell her.

"I was worried about you" She says.

"Sorry"

"What did he say" Blake asks suddenly.

"What did who say?" Nicky asks.

"Nicky. Will you excuse us for a minute?" Blake asks.

"But…" Nicky starts.

"I talk to you about it later" I interrupt, licking her muzzle.

She hesitantly walks out of the den.

"He said that he would contact me when it was urgent. Meanwhile, he wanted me to finish training" I told him.

"Then that's what you'll do" Blake says.

I nod my head in agreement.

"Wake up Shelby, and the others. You'll most likely find Shelby sleeping in the meadow" He says.

I begin walking towards the outside world.

"Don't tell anybody about what you saw" Blake commands as I leave.

Nicky greets me outside of the den. She looks at me expectantly.

"We'll talk about it later. I have to train" I tell her.

"We never get to spend time together" She complains.

"I know" I sigh "But training will be over soon"

"I hope so" Nicky says.

I lick her muzzle before running off to find Shelby.

Shelby

I was lying in the grassy fields; my favorite place to sleep. It was far from any dens, and secluded. Nobody would be bothered by my suffering. I can't stand living in this pack anymore. I needed a change in environment, and more wolves in my pack. I hear rustling in the grass next to me. I scent the air and find it to be Humphrey. My tail uncontrollably wags.

"Hey Humphrey" I greet.

"Hey" He replies as he comes into view.

"How'd you know I was coming?" He asks.

"I heard you" I reply.

He looks away, embarrassed. I stand up, and let loose a yawn.

"Why do you sleep out here?" He asks.

"Why do you ask so many questions?" I counter.

"Sorry".

I smirk "It's peaceful and quiet"

"Don't you get lonely" He asks curiously.

I was always lonely but Humphrey was the only one I wanted with me. Not only was Humphrey taken by another, but I didn't have interest in any of the other wolves in the pack.

"Sometimes" I respond "What are you doing here anyways?"

"Your father wanted us to start training early" He tells me.

I growl angrily. Humphrey lowers himself to the ground, and tucks his tail between his legs. I loosen up a bit, and walk towards him. He cowers lower to the ground the closer I get. I nuzzle his forehead gently.

"I'm not mad at you" I whisper in his ear.

I walk on past him "Stay here. I'll get John and Sasha"

Kate

I woke up from a cold gust of wind making its way through the den. I never did like the cold. I look over at Garth. His fur was thicker and warmer than mine. I wish Humphrey was here. I could snuggle with him to get warm. With no hopes of getting back to sleep, I walk outside onto the ledge overlooking the pack. As I expected, nobody was awake. They would all be asleep for another hour or so until the sun rose. I wonder what Humphrey was doing right now. He was probably asleep, but was he sleeping with another female by now? I look back at Garth sadly. It was up to me to make this arranged marriage work out.

Humphrey

It was time for my favorite part of training. I walked towards the meadow to meet up with Shelby. She was slouched over starring at the ground.

"Shelby?"

She quickly straitens up, and looks at me.

"You're here early" Shelby says.

I smile at her "I rushed through lifting and running so I could hang out with you"

She smiles back. I wonder why she was so down. I wanted to talk to her about it, but I suddenly wasn't sure of our friendship anymore. She probably doesn't want to talk to me about it, but I'll try to talk to her after training.

"What are we doing today?" I ask eagerly.

"We need to work on your stealth" She states.

"What's wrong with my stealth?" I ask offended.

"It sucks" She tells me straight up.

Kate

The sun was setting, and the wolves were heading back to their dens. Today was very dull and boring. With the pacts recently united, there was no conflict. Pups came by to play with me, and I was happy to be able to have some fun with them. Garth was awkward with pups, but he was trying his best. The sun would be down in the next half hour or so, and I would finally be able to sleep. Garth looked equally tired.

"You can go to sleep, I'll stay up" Garth offers.

"Thanks" I walk into the den and lay down.

I watch Garth sitting outside the den as I fall asleep.

One Hour Later

I woke up from the sound of paw steps. I look up to see Garth coming in for the night. It was completely dark outside. He must have stayed out extra long. I wondered why, but I was too tired to ask.

"Sorry" He apologizes.

"It's fine" I mumble.

He lies down on the other side of the den. I shiver as I realize it's another cold night. Garth isn't affected by the weather. I must not be as tough an alpha as I thought I was.

"Garth" I call.

"Yes?" He asks.

"Can I sleep with you?" I ask.

"Uhhh…. S-sure" He replies confused.

I get up and lie next to him. I press my back against his stomach. He hesitantly puts a paw over my body, and I accept it. I was a lot warmer and it really wasn't so bad. Until I thought of the fact that I didn't love him and actually loved Humphrey. Did this make me a slut?

Shelby

Training was finally over. I told Humphrey he could go home, but he didn't leave.

"We need to talk" He says.

"Then talk" I command.

"Something's wrong. What is it?" He asks.

I knew I couldn't tell him the real reason. It would ruin our friendship and Humphrey, and Nicky's relationship. I couldn't do that, especially with Nicky's pups coming.

"I'm not interested in any of the males in the pack" I half lie.

I liked Humphrey, but none of the others.

"You'll find someone" He says.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"Cause your very attractive" He says.

I blushed a little, but you couldn't tell through my black fur. I was sure he didn't really mean it. He was just being nice as he usually is.

"Yeah right"

"You know you are. I'm not the first to tell you that" He says.

"Actually, you are" I confess.

"Really?" He asks "Well you're very beautiful".

I pull him into a hug.

"Thanks" I whisper.

As Humphrey leaves, I lay down in the grass. For the first time in a few days, I sleep well.

It's been a while, but summer is almost here. that means my life becomes dull and boring so i can update more.
