"Whoa whoa whoa! Hold up." Winston cut off Humphrey holding his paw up. "You organized a search party without my permission?"
Humphrey nodded. "I didn't want any of the Alphas knowing about this because-"
"Shut up!" Winston boomed. He was extremely upset now. "I understand that the pressure and uncertainty of Lily sparked some concern. But when it involves a pack member, then everyone needs to know." Winston said, putting emphasis on "everyone."
"That's the problem." Humphrey explained. "If you knew who it was then-"
"Then what?" Winston was tired of this. He could not believe what he was hearing.
Rustling came from behind Humphrey. "Hey is everything ok?" Asked a voice from inside the bushes. Humphrey jumped ten feet in the air and spun around. 'Oh no' Humphrey thought. It was Tony.
"Yeah, we heard a loud roar," said another voice from Tony's side. "And we wanted to make sure-"
"THAT'S HIM!" Humphrey barked. He pointed at no other than, that's right. Garth.
Garth was stunned. He looked hurt. "Humphrey. What's wrong?" He asked very concerned. Humphrey knew it was all bullshit.
"Ok. Hold on!" Winston said stepping in front of the two. Humphrey was shaking mad. "Humphrey are you saying that Garth did this?"
"Did what?" Tony asked. Humphrey snapped into the direction of Hutch.
"Oh man." That was all Garth could say. Humphrey looked back at him. The look on Garth's face was very convincing. He either didn't do it, or he's putting on a damn good show.
"You asshole!" Humphrey leaped at him, but was knocked away in mid air by Tony. Humphrey was having trouble standing up. "Where is Lily?" Humphrey's voice was scratchy.
"What? Lily is missing?" Garth said shocked. "I was just coming by to check up on her. Is she ok?"
"We don't know dumbass! Why don't you tell us?"
"ENOUGH!" Winston commanded. "Humphrey, get Kate and go back to our territory. I'll deal with you later." Humphrey just stood there. He couldn't believe it. "Did you not hear me? I said go!"
Kate came by and tugged on Humphrey's forearm. "Come on Hun, let's go home." Humphrey snapped his arm away from Kate.
"No! Garth did this to Hutch! He killed Lily! Why doesn't anyone believe me?" Humphrey jolted from one wolf to the next. Looking for anyone that might support him. No one said a word. Humphrey looked down, and walked back over to Kate. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "Can we go?" He asked with puppy dog eyes. Kate nodded and began walking back to their den.
5 minutes later, Kate rested her head on top of Humphrey's who was lying down. Humphrey starred into nothing. He couldn't believe what was happening. Why hadn't any of the Omegas said anything? We're already the lowest rank of the pack. What have we got to lose?
Humphrey closed his eyes. Trying to fall asleep. Kate then whispered something.
"Worry me like that again. And you will be sleeping outside." Kate kissed his ear and fell asleep.
Next chapter is where the fun begins. Warning next chapter will have blood, gore, guts and a lot of swearing.
