Humphrey's POV-
What just happened was not what I had anticipated. Kate was ready to get started with lunch, but we had a problem. I absolutely STUNK!
"So, Kate, I would get this lunch started, but I was out for a run and I didn't take a bath yet," I said, disguising my voice in a way where she wouldn't recognize me,
"Oh, okay," Kate said, I could tell she was disappointed by the tone of her voice,
'Why is she looking forward to this lunch?' I thought,
"Well, I actually still had to go catch the meat, and I was gonna have you help me, but I guess I'll get it myself and meet you at the tracks," She said, still disappointed,
'Good thing I didn't have to help her, I'm still new to hunting,' I thought,
"Well, I'll see you in about 10?" I asked her,
"Sure!" She said, now obviously excited,
Then, without sparing time, I headed to the bath,
"You know where the bath is already? You just came here," She said,
'You fool!' I thought,
"Umm...I saw it when I went out for my run," I said, not wanting to say the truth,
"Oh, okay," She said as she walked away, presumably to get the food,
So, without further a do, I went to take a bath,
I knew where it was, but I had no clue where I was,
I saw the pack leaders den, so I figured I would walk there and look for it there,
Once I got to the pack leaders den, I saw Eve,
'If Eve sees me here, I'll be a dead goose!' I thought,
Then I saw the path that would take me to the bath,
"Who's there? I can smell you," Eve said,
I just panicked and ran,
"You there, stop!" She shouted,
Her attempts were in vain however as I didn't stop,
"I will find you!" She screamed,
That just gave me more courage to run faster,
I was so busy, looking behind me for Eve, that I barely saw the wolf with white fur in front of me,
I barely dodged her, and when I say barely, I mean BARELY,
However, I was as soon as I jumped that I realized that the lake was right in front on me,
SPLASH!
It felt worse then a belly flop,
I heard the wolf giggle,
'I recognize that giggle from somewhere,' I thought,
When I looked up, I saw an old friend, Lilly,
"You Alphas are so careless," She said,
"Well, you Omegas are like lunch to us Alphas," I said, trying to sound like a cocky Alpha, not the nice Omega I was,
Then she looked at me for a good minute,
While she did that, I got out of the water,
'Good thing it's summer or else I would be freezing,' I thought,
"Hey! I know who you are," She said to me,
"Umm...you do?" I asked, taking a big gulp,
'How did she figure this out,' I thought, semi-panicking,
"Yeah, you're that new wolf, Easton, is it not?" She said to me,
I breathed a sigh of relief,
"Yes, that's me," I said, more calm now,
"Then you better get ready for your lunch. I must say, it's an odd punishment. It seems more like a date if you ask me," She said,
'Again, another reason I would've been thrilled a year ago,' I thought,
"I must admit, I don't know what it is about you, or if has anything to do with you, but I haven't seen Kate so happy since a very special someone," She said,
"And who might this 'very special someone' be?" I asked her, expecting her to say Garth,
"Humphrey," She said, seeming just a tad bit more sad now,
"And who is this Humphrey?" I asked her, making sure it was who I thought it was,
"The best Omega we knew..." Was all that she said,
'That must be me, but why would I make Kate happy and be considered a special someone?' I thought,
"Sorry, I got completely off track," She said,
"You can carry on with your business," She continued,
"I was just walking by," She ended,
"Well thanks, Lilly, we should get together some time," I said,
"That would be great!" She said,
"But how did you know my name?" She asked me,
"Uhhh...Kate told me," I said lying,
"Oh, ok. Bye," She said as she walked away,
"Bye," I said back, even though I don't think she heard me,
'I better hurry up,' I thought as I jumped back in the lake,
After this bath, I will go to the train tracks,
Kate's POV-
I don't know what it is about Easton, but he's got me so excited and I don't know why. I'm looking forward to meeting him, I think he can be a really nice friend. Plus, he can help the Alphas greatly with those abs. I was getting of track again though and I needed to focus on catching lunch,
'I could've sworn I saw him before though,' I thought,
'He reminds me off...he reminds me off,' I started thinking, but then something brought me to thinking about Humphrey,
'I'm sure Humphrey would be happy if I possibly find someone, he always wanted me happy,' I thought,
Then, when I spotted my target, I got into a low crouch position and lunged at my target. I caught him right by the throat and killed him on the spot,
'I'm sure if Easton was here, he would've caught a caribou twice the size as mine,' I thought,
'I wonder if he likes me. He seems kinda depressed though, maybe he got his heart broken, like me,' I thought,
I took the caribou and carried it to the train tracks,
The reason I picked the train tracks is because it's the most private place,
As I was walking by, I saw Garth looking around in the forest,
"Hey Garth, is something wrong?" I asked him,
"Not really, but have you seen Lilly?" He asked me,
"Last time I knew, she was in her den, maybe she's taking a walk," I suggested,
"Ok, thank you," He said,
"No problem," I replied,
"Oh, and Kate, if he hurts you, just tell me or Eve and we will deal with it," He said to me seriously,
"Thanks, but he wouldn't do that to me," I said back,
"Okay, have fun," He said,
"Thanks, and good luck," I said as I walked to the train tracks,
Once I saw the train tracks, I saw Easton seemingly staring off into space.
Humphrey's POV-
I had just arrived at the train tracks when I remembered something I tried to forget long ago...my life before running away,
All the bad things that had happened,
All the heartbreaks, all the friend fights, all the disappointment,
But there were some good things,
Well, there was one good thing,
Until, she broke it,
Until Kate got engaged,
'I still don't get how they haven't gotten married yet,' I thought,
Then I heard a voice calling my name, or my fake name,
"Hello, Easton, are you okay?" She asked me,
It was Kate,
I tried to get myself out of my thoughts,
"Yeah, I'm fine, ready to get started?" I asked her,
"Yup," Was all she said,
That lunch would change the rest of my life forever.
Lilly's POV-
'I don't get it, something about Easton is wrong. I feel like he's hiding something from us. And he seems so, SO familiar,' I thought,
Then, I heard Garth calling my name,
"Hey, Lilly," I heard him call,
"Hello, handsome," I said, giving him a kiss on his muzzle,
"I was just looking for you. Eve has called for a meeting between me, you, her, and Winston," He said,
"Why, is something wrong?" I asked him, "I don't know, but we should probably hurry up," He said to me,
We started walking to the den,
Once we got to the den, I heard Mom say,
"Okay, let's get this started," in a very serious tone,
"Well, wife, what do you think is wrong?" Dad asked her,
"Something is fishy. I fear for Kate's safety with that newcomer, Easton. I'm 99% sure that I smelled him around here earlier today, when he was supposed to be with Kate. I think that we must go over there and spy on them," Mom said,
"Wife, don't you think we should give Kate some space. She's a big girl now, she can protect herself," Dad said,
"I agree with Dad," I started, "Plus Easton seems nice," I finished,
"However," I said, doubting my thoughts, "I feel like Easton is hiding something from us," I boldly stated,
"I propose that we spy on Easton due to the safety of the pack. He could be a spy from another pack, that would explain why he seems to keep things very secret," I finally finished,
"I agree with Lilly, if Easton is hiding something because he's a spy, that puts us all in danger and that gives us a good reason to spy," Garth said,
"Agreed," Said Dad,
"I agree," Mom said, closing it out,
"We must make sure not to blow our cover, however. Kate might be mad at that, so let's all be careful. Final vote 4-0, so, current and future pack leaders, let's head out," Mom said,
I knew he was hiding something from us, but it would not be what I expected...at all.
Thank you all for reading! Let me know if you enjoyed Lilly's POV! Till next time, PEACE!
