CHAPTER 11

Kate's POV

"Don't be sorry just come back with me, please!"

His snout twitch as a sad sigh emerged from his mouth.

"H-how badly do you want me to come?" he looked up using his eyes keeping his head down.

"BADLY! Please humphrey, come on!"

"Why though? If i come back i'll just be treated like some messenger and puppet again."

"Your my best friend, and a loving good wolf… if you came back i'd be there!"

"What would you do if i didn't… didn't come back?"

My heart was out of control. I didn't know what to say anymore.

I walked up slowly. He braced himself and closed his eyes tight which hurt me a lot knowing he was afraid.

I decided my only move for the moment would be a guilt trip.

"I'd probably cry… push everyone away… be lonely… not want to do anything knowing you'd be gone." a tear finally slipped out of both of us. I hugged him tightly wrapping my head around his neck.

"Okay… okay… i'll come back."

I cried happily smiling as my tears soaked his back. Clouds were above us… dark ones, so maybe that was why we were being emotional.

"We can go back whenever you want." he smiled slightly as i pulled off.

"Thank you." i sniffed with a shy smile before turning around.

"We can go sleep now, if you want."

"Oh yeah… i'm dead tired." he laughed a little getting up.

We walked down the cliff slowly. Some fog emerged quickly which scared humphrey and me a little.

"Bite my tail."

"What?"

"Bite it so we stay together."

"Fair enough." i sank my teeth in carefully. He winced a little but kept walking.

"At least we're not on a vine!" i joked through his dampening tail.

"Ha! That's true!"

I smiled instead of grinning knowing he was in a good mood and coming back with me.

"The den's just up ahead." he called to me from ahead as i let go of his tail.

"You have such a nice tail to bite down on."

"Yeesh. You sound like that cannibal from the first den."

"I mean it! Your's is super fluffy and soft!"

"Yours is smooth and hot." he winked at me as we walked in side.

I blushed with a shy smile.

"Soo… when do you want to head back?"

"We'll try the train the day after tomorrow instead… that okay with you?"

"Like i said, whenever you want." he smiled as he threw the skin over me before crawling under.

"Cozy?"

"Very... thanks." i yawned a little before starting to drift off.

"Er… Wanna cuddle?" he spoke up at the last minute.

"Nice try…"

He pouted as a joke.

"... just this once though." i rolled over on my side under his arms. It took him a second to realize what was going on before he rolled over as well and held onto me.

I was in heaven, and i think so was he. He was so soft, warm, big, all of it.

He drifted off before i did so i wrapped my tail around his for a quick second. I was always curious what it felt like… to do that with a mate.

It was so comforting i ended up falling asleep accidently with my tail still in place.

Humphrey's POV

I was in a forest when I was walking around with kate i think… no… who was this wolf? She looked like kate just didn't smell or really have the attitude like her.

"Uh… excuse me? Where are we going?"

"To your wedding, silly. Did you forget?"

"Uh… no. just forgot where it was thats all."

"It's just up ahead. Your fiance will be here shortly.

"Uh.. right, thanks." i shut up quickly scoping out the area.

Fiance? WEDDING?! I screamed in my thoughts in what was going on.

"Here we are… oh, look! She's already here!" she nodded towards the field in front of us. Some wolves were gathered around a huge platform with one in to the side of it.

It was kate… and oh boy did she look stunning. But thats when it clued in.

"Wait a minute-"

"This way sir, And congrats! You look great together!

"Uh… thank you?" we walked through the crowd to the platform. I stood across from her quietly.

"Hey." she spoke softly.

"Hi." i looked around nervously at the area.

"Are… you okay?"

"Uh… yeah! Sorry, just… observing."

"Did i ever tell you your cute when your scared?"

"Just now." i turned around smiling.

She giggled with that cute smile of hers.

"Ahem?" the wolf between us spoke up.

"Yes?"

"It is time. If you will, please rub snouts to symbolize your marriage."

"Oh… right." i faced her again.

"Ready?"

She nodded with a grin. Slowly, we leaned forward rubbing our noses. The crowd cheered and i nearly lost it at how soft her snout was.

"I've waited so long for this." she spoke in a man like voice after we pulled away.

"same. Wait… what? say that again."

"You ready to die, boy?" an evil grin smeared across her face.

"Uh… kate? Your scaring me a little." i backed up slightly.

I looked around to the crowd… only to find there wasn't one.

"Uh… what?!"

I yelped when i faced her again. But it was no her, it was a he and a human.

He aimed the rifle at me.

"That coats gonna look fine on my floor." he chuckled grunting as his eye entered the scope.

"Woah woah woah, hold on!" i spoke nervously.

"All i hear is barkin', boy. G'bye."
