A.N: Just want to give a big thanks to Troy Grooms for giving me a lot of help with this chapter. Hope you enjoy.

winston p.o.v

I was in my den with eve discussing how we could cheer Kate up. "We should go find Humphrey that's the only way to cheer her up." Eve said which made me think of an idea. "What if we go with Kate Garth and Lilly to go find Humphrey ." I said which eve just nodded to. "Let's do it." Eve said after pondering for a good five minutes. "Ok ill inform the pack immediately. As winston left and began to howl for a meeting.

After fifteen minutes all the wolves in the pack were waiting for winston to speak. "I'll be leaving for a few weeks to a few months while I'm gone I'm leaving tony in charge. Dismissed." Which shocked Kate knowing that she should be in charge while he is gone. "Dad why am I not in charge?" Kate asked angry that she wasnt given the position. "Because you Garth Lilly eve and zack are coming with me." Winston said which made Kate quickly understand. All of a sudden hutch walked up to winston and asked if he could come along to. "Why do you want to come along, hutch?" Winston asked. "Because I want to see more than just this pack I want to explore but I don't want to become a lone wolf." Hutch said. "Sure we could use another alpha anyway to hunt and help defend us." Winston said which made hutch really happy. "When do we leave?" Hutch asked getting excited. "Tomorrow morning. Now go get some rest and meet us at the train tracks in the morning just before sun rise." He said. The hutch walked away happy with himself. "Why are we leaving?" Kate asked suddenly. "We are leaving to go find Humphrey." Winston said which made Kate's eyes go wide. "Your welcome. Now go find Garth and Lilly and tell them what I told hutch. I'll go tell zack. "Ok." Kate said as she ran off to go tell Lilly and Garth.

HUMPHREYS POV

the next morning

humphrey was laying in his den with jess snuggling up beside him. "What do you want to do today?" Humphrey asked jess which made her think of something she would save that for tonight. "I've got alpha duties. But I'll be back around midday if you want to go for a swim. "Yeah great idea." Humphrey said as he got up to go for a walk. While he was walking he began to think of Kate. Why am I thinking of her after everything that she did to me he asked him self. He didn't know but all he did know is that his heart was being split in two one side for Kate and one for jess. He didn't know what to think of it so he decided to go talk to his mother. After fifteen minutes of walking he finally got to her den. "Mum." He said waiting for him to be allowed into the den. "Come in." His mum said. So Humphrey went in and said "I want to ask you something." He said as he sat down in front of her. "What is it son." She said with a worried look in her eyes she also heard a howl that he thought was familiar but couldn't recognise. "My heart being split between two wolves and I don't know what to do." He said depressed. "Then his mum said something he will never forget. "Remember this. Listen to the wind it speaks, listen to the silence it talks, listen to your heart it knows." She said which made Humphrey think for a while. "Thanks mum." He said as he began to leave when he saw a group of familiar wolves at the entrance of the den.

KATES POV

We've been on the train for a couple of hours when zack said it would be a good time to get off. "Why would it be a good place to get off?" Kate asked curiously. "Because this his where his mothers pack is and if he's going to go into any other pack it would be that one." He said which shocked everyone that was there. "Ok everyone off!" winston said and every jumped off the train. Lead the way." Wiston said looking at zack. "Ok but when we get close your going to have to go in without me." He said which shocked everyone once again. "Why can't you come with us?" Hutch asked. "Because I got banished once I couldn't find Humphrey after he got lost." He said tears coming to his eyes. "Oh. I'm sorry didn't mean to bring up old memories. But you should come there with us so that if he's there then you can explain everything that is going on." Hutch said which made zack think. "Yeah I'll come with you but when we get to the edge of the pack I'll need one of you to howl to let them know we are coming. They don't take well to trespassers." He said as winston said he'd do it. Then zack nodded and started to lead the way. After fifteen minutes they made it to the edge of the territory. Winston let out a howl that wasn't threatening but allowed them to know where they were.

JESS POV

i heard a howl and asked the two alphas with me to go check it out. As we ran we got the scent of six wolves. "Be careful there's a lot of them." I said worried about what we were getting into. The two alphas just nodded there head and continued to run to the newcomers. As they arrived they saw one familiar face and the rest were unknown. "Zack, what are you doing here." She asked with an agresive tone. "I'm just helping them find a friend." He said as he gestured to the rest of the group. That was when she realised that they were the same wolves from humphreys past. She was just staring at Kate knowing what she had done to Humphrey. "Hello?" Zack said which snapped her out of it. "I need to take all of you to the pack leader." She said which didn't surprise anyone knowing that it was standard procedure. "Follow me, she said as everyone began to follow her. After five minutes Kate asked "do you know a wolf by the name of Humphrey?" Kate asked looking for any sign that he was here. "You can talk to the pack leader first before asking questions." She said with an authoritative tone. The rest of the walk was quiet. They got to the den when I yelled in "Crystal. You have a few wolves that would like to speak with you." She said not knowing Humphrey was in there with her. "Bring them in she said as all the wolves walked in and Kate saw Humphrey. "Humphrey!"
