Alpha and Omega: After Realization

Chapter 11: Part I-Gathering From The North

Jasper Park was being covered in deep snow as a massive blizzard blew through the valley with the wind almost howling like a wolf. Both the Eastern and Western packs had been forced to stay in their dens to keep warm as the storm raged on. Everything was blanketed in a sheet of white snow and visibility had now become absolute zero, the wolves could not see anything outside as the blizzard blocked out the whole valley from view. Up on the hill in the Western territory was the main pack leaders den, the entrance was now almost closed up by the three feet of snow that had accumulated. Inside the den was Kate as she kept herself curled up almost in a ball in an attempt to keep herself warm from the cold wind that was able to make its way into the den.

"Damn storm" whispered Kate in anger.

Kate remained curled up and tried her best to keep her body warm and not freeze to death. The one thing that had kept her from freezing to death in the storm earlier was the anger and hate she now had in her heart. She had come across something that had changed things for her and she was in so much hurt. At the same moment that she made her discovery, the storm blew its way into Jasper Park and forced every wolf to run to their dens.

"If it wasn't for this storm…I…I'd…" said Kate as she was cut off by her own thoughts.

She couldn't think straight after what had happened and she felt like she had no one to help her through it now.

"Why did this have to happen to me? WHY FUCKING ME!" spoke out Kate in the den.

Lucky for her the storm made sure no one in the valley could hear her scream out in hatred.

"Still feeling crushed huh?"

Jack appeared from the back of the den and walked towards the front of the den to be next to Kate.

"Just leave me alone"

Jack sat down next to Kate as she kept herself in the same position to keep warm.

"I can't really leave you alone without you throwing a temper every few minutes, besides, you need to keep warm" said Jack as he laid down so that he could be next to her and helped her keep warm as he placed his arm around her shoulders.

Kate tried to shrug Jack's arm off her shoulders, but he just kept on putting his arm over her again, but even though she hated it she knew that it was getting cold inside the den for only one wolf to stay warm without someone else. She decided to stop trying to keep the Jack's arm off her and just let things be, as long as she stayed warm.

"I know what you're going through, trust me, it's just devastating on so many levels" said Jack.

Kate then had a confused look on her face.

He knows? she thought.

"How do you know?" asked Kate, unable to hold in her curiosity.

"Well… I was wandering around just enjoying the day when I suddenly just… came across what happened and the first thing I thought of at the moment was you. I'm sorry for what happened" replied Jack.

Tears started to form from the Jack's eyes and he lowered his head and face away from Kate. Kate no longer had hate in her eyes; instead it was replaced with sadness, both towards what had happened and for being a little harsh with her only brother that she had come to know.

"You don't have to be sorry for what happened, it's not like it was your fault" replied Kate.

Kate took her arm and also placed it around the Jack's shoulder to cheer him up. Jack felt her arm on his shoulders and turned his head back to face her.

"I feel like it's my fault though. If I had…I should have done something, I could have talked it out to fix things…as long as…you didn't feel hurt from it this much" said Jack with tears still in his eyes.

Kate didn't have any words to say, she was only touched at what Jack said. He would have done the impossible, but what had caused the event had already passed. She tightened her hold on him with her arm as she felt a sense of happiness.

"Hey now, not so tight, I don't want to die from the lack of oxygen"

Kate let out a small smile and a giggle in hearing what he said.

"Sorry, but you always know how to fix things, just like you say" said Kate.

"I hope I do" replied Jack.

"Like I said, it's not your fault"

Jack remained lying down next to his sister, knowing that he was telling her the truth about what he knew, but he was also lying to her by keeping it secret from her. He didn't know what else to do; he was ruining his own family's life style from the inside as his heart was beginning to be torn between his peaceful family and the hidden relationship of Humphrey and Lilly.

What am I going to do? I can't hide all of this now that she saw them together thought Jack.

When Jack had escaped back to the den after realizing that Kate was the wolf that had run passed him, he had asked her what was wrong. To his surprise his sister told him that she had seen both Humphrey and Lilly together, apparently making love to each other on a tree. Jack couldn't tell what the current status of his brother in law and younger sister was, he had told his mysterious voice friend to check up on them, but he still worried.

"It's already been about nine days" Jack whispered under his breath.

As Jack tried to come to his conclusions and figure out his next steps in resolving issues in his mind, he was unaware that Winston and Eve, along with Hutch and a small group of alphas had actually found safety from the freezing storm, within the Eastern pack wolves den that belonged to Garth.

"Thank you for letting us stay here honey" said Eve.

"It's nothing ma'am, that was one hell of a storm though" replied Garth.

"Either way, I only hope that the others pack in our pack were able to get into their dens before this storm hit" said Winston.

"Sir, the storm is still roaring out there, but it does look as if it's starting to calm down bit by bit" added Hutch.

Winston looked outside of the den and he could tell the difference, the recent days had seen the storm being very violent and powerful, but the storm was beginning to die down at least somewhat.

"Hopefully we'll be able to go outside soon and find the others, especially Jack, Humphrey, Kate, and Lilly"

"Don't worry Winston, I'm sure they all found a safe place before the storm hit" reassured Eve.

Deep within the forest to the north of Jasper, the snow from the storm had covered all the trees in almost four feet of snow. Large broken branches were visible on top of the snow, with the wind having blown them right off the tree. Through the snow it would have been impossible to see the den that was off in the distance, hid among the trees, and that is where Humphrey and Lilly were both sound asleep. The very den that Jack had found for them was actually a cave, but the space that it offered for the secret, loving pair was more than perfect.

"Well, at least I got them here"

Humphrey was sleeping next to Lilly towards the back of the den, with his back facing her side as it touched her warm white fur. Humphrey slowly started to open his eyes and as his vision cleared up some, he could only see a grey and black silhouette standing at the entrance of the den staring at him. He lifted his head and shook away the tiredness as his vision cleared up and he could see clearly now.

"You? What are you doing here?" asked Humphrey.

"What? Are you not happy to see me or something?"

"No, no it's nothing like that, it's just, it's been a real long time since…"

"There hasn't been any change in the last few years Humphrey, trust me"

Humphrey only lowered his head down slowly and frowned, he felt as if he had been scolded at, but he was reassured by the voice.

"I'm not being mean Humphrey, but that's just the truth, you know that at least things turned out alright"

"If only that had been true" whispered Humphrey as he returned his head down to the ground and resumed sleeping once again.

Silence returned to the den as the snow continued to fall outside in the storm, with the winds still blowing over the land, but it was already starting to die down some. The land remained invisible to the naked eye, with everything being covered in a shroud of gray cloud cover in the sky and snow made fog that made it hard to see. From the storm however, strangely enough there were a few pairs of what looked like eyes staring out from the storm itself.

"Is it always going to be like this?"

"It's been this way for the last 10,000 years"

"Just deal with it, who gives a damn about what happens to that pack?"

"Watch yourself, it'll be over by tomorrow, we have an apology to give"

Back in the forest, Humphrey is now awake but he is still resting on the ground, his mind faraway. Humphrey had a lot on his mind and he couldn't get his head clear, a whole different storm was brewing inside his head as images and times from the past popped up. Suddenly, he felt a small chill on his shoulder and he immediately turned his head to see what it was, to which he responded with a sigh of relief as he saw Lilly touching his shoulder with her paw. His entire gaze was now focused on Lilly, who was also awake and staring at him as she lifted her head up slightly from her slumber.

"Humphrey?"

"Yeah Lilly?" asked Humphrey.

"I never gave you your treat" replied Lilly.

Treat? thought Humphrey.

Lilly only grinned as she moved herself downward as Humphrey only watched her do so and by the time he knew it, Lilly turned him over onto his back and immediately started to lick the area between his legs very slowly. Humphrey could only respond by throwing his head back as he let out a moan of pleasure as Lilly continued to lick his fur very intensely and by the time he knew it, his "wolf" had finally found its way out in front of Lilly's eyes. She only gazed at it with wide eyes and grinned with so much lust.

"It's really big now Humphrey"

Humphrey still had his head thrown back, but he could only smile as his head stayed back. Lilly gripped his "wolf" in her paws and licked the tip of it slowly, while rubbing it up and down all the way.

"Oh Lilly" moaned Humphrey.

Lilly continued to lick the tip of his "wolf" very slowly, wanting to give Humphrey this kind of love forever, never wanting it to end. She went on to gripping his "wolf" the tightest she could and it caused Humphrey's body to pulse upward a little, her paw taking hold of his "wolf" very tightly.

"Time for your treat Humphrey" whispered Lilly.

Humphrey was unable to respond to her words as she took all of his length into her mouth and started to suck him off. Humphrey couldn't resist himself and he took his paws to grab the back of Lilly's head and push her downward even more on his "wolf". Lilly was surprised by Humphrey's sudden actions, but it only made her more hot inside and she continued to suck him off as hard and fast as she could, her wanting to give pleasure to her mate, her one true mate she really did love so much.

"Oh Lilly…you've always been good at this sorta thing…ahhhhh, suck me dry, please Lilly"

Lilly's mind only flared up when she heard those words come out of her mate's mouth and just did as she was asked of Humphrey, she increased her speed even more, sucking on his erect "wolf" with all her strength. Humphrey was beginning to lose himself to her pleasuring; he only gritted his teeth harder and harder as Lilly sucked him dry, with his paws still forcing her head down even more. Humphrey could now feel his climax coming as Lilly intensified the action, but he still didn't stop forcing her head down onto his "wolf".

"Ohhh Lilly…I'm cumming!"

Lilly heard him loud and clear and with that she forced her head up and off his "wolf", to which she was then greeted as she felt the large loud of cum being sprayed onto her face, the feel of its sticky texture and the way it felt so warm on her face and mouth. Humphrey was still cumming as Lilly's face was covered in a big load of cum, trying to lick the most of it off of her face as possible, savoring the flavor in her mouth as she swirled it around and then swallowed.

"Humphrey…you're so salty…and sweet too" said Lilly as she licked her lips.

Humphrey had become exhausted and collapsed onto the ground still on his back, with his panting the only sound coming out of his mouth. He was sweating and hot inside, the pleasure had relaxed him to the max and he didn't feel like moving an inch, so Lilly finished licking her face clean and stepped forward a bit more and then laid beside him. She turned onto her side and embraced Humphrey into a tight hug as she buried her face into his chest, while at the same time licking him passionately.

"Oh Humphrey, I love you so much…please don't ever leave me" whispered Lilly.

"I'll never do that Lilly…never…I love you until my death"

Though Humphrey was exhausted from the pleasure he just received, he had the strength in him to say those words, which touched Lilly all the way to her soul as she only replied by hugging him even tighter and drifting off into sleep, with a few tears running down her face.

It won't come to that Humphrey…it won't were Lilly's thoughts.

"And that's all that was written"

The storm continued to ravage the entire land and though the sky was no visible, it was easy to tell that it was day, but the sky was beginning to turn dark and the land became entirely black. Jack had never seen darkness like this in his whole life as he lay near the entrance of his parents den, he had kept his vision on the outside world for a while, but now it was pointless with the darkness that consumed all of Jasper. But he wasn't alone while Kate was sleeping quietly at the back of the den.

"So what happened?"

"She found out something and now she's mad" replied Jack.

"Any plans mister genius wolf?"

Jack took in the words for a moment, trying to figure out how to respond, he didn't really have anything planned for this. He hadn't counted on this situation being discovered or anything, he was very confident about his ability to keep it secret. He really didn't want to say anything right now; he was more worried about what he was going to do when things finally clear up.

"Well I'll tell you what you can do when everything clears up"

Jack didn't question his friends' ability to mind read, he had already seen enough proof of knowing that nothing was impossible for his friend. Jack only remained laying on the ground as he heard something being whispered into his ear, listening to what he was being told. Suddenly, his eyes expanded widely and he nearly jumped up from his resting position.

"What?!"

"Look Jack I know it sounds a bit…difficult but…"

"That's because it is difficult and just fucking ridiculous! That just wastes all of the effort we put into seeing this whole thing through!" replied Jack angrily.

"Jack, please, calm down. This may be something that sounds awful to you, but you have to let it-"

"I'm not going to accept this, not a chance in hell! Why should I?! Why should we?!" lashed back Jack.

"Because it will give us more time, it will help in what we've done so far, trust me"

Jack didn't say anything after listening to his friend, he still had his objection towards what he had been told, but he remained quiet.

"Don't worry Jack, everything will turn out alright, no issues afterwards"

Jack remained laying down and only returned his gaze to the outside world, now clouded in the storms snowfall as it passed by with the wind, Jack now noticing that it was dying down some. He turned his head to look behind him and stared at Kate as she slept peacefully and it only made him tear up with guilt in his heart.

"Kate…I'm just sorry" whispered Jack as he turned his head again and fell into his slumber.

Jasper was enveloped in darkness and not a single thing was visible in the utter blackness that the storm had caused, the wind howled through the whole valley and in the forest, the leaves of all the trees coming off and dashing through the violent winds that carried them away. Back at the den in the forest, Lilly kept her tight grip of a hug on Humphrey as she remained awake during the night, with her able to hear Humphrey's slow breathing as his chest pumped in and out, her chest against his and making her feel so warm. Lilly's eyes were filled with tears, but she had both tears of happiness and sorrow. Her mind was still replaying the horrific nightmare she had had the night before and it tore at her on the inside, the very thought of seeing Humphrey dying was too much for her to bare, let alone if it happened.

Don't die Humphrey, please…don't leave me…I love you whispered Lilly under her tears.

She didn't want to cry, she didn't want to startle Humphrey from his sleep but she couldn't get her mind off what she had seen in her dreams. From the first time she had met Humphrey up until he had raped her in secret, she had fallen in love with him. She saw a pretty strong, handsome, smart, and caring omega wolf who she felt she could love forever. As her thoughts of love and fear swirled around in her mind, it all halted when Lilly felt Humphrey move his arms and pull her into a loving embrace. For a moment Lilly thought that she had caused Humphrey to wake up, but he was still asleep, but he had moved so that he could face in her direction and hug her.

"Lilly…my heart belongs to you…my life is worthless without a lovely omega like you…I love you with all my heart and soul…Lilly, my angel"

Lilly's heart raced a bit when she heard Humphrey speak to her from his dreams, his true feelings and love towards her were said crystal clear. She let out more tears but she couldn't hold them back, she let them come and stream down her muzzle as they dripped down to the ground and also soaked Humphrey's chest fur as well. She couldn't find any words to express her deep feelings for her lover and soon to be future mate, she only wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. With her heart secure and fears pushed aside, her eyes closed slowly and sleep overtook her.

The night now belonged to the storm, though its strength had begun to slow some, it did not stop its rampage through Jasper as the ground was buried in deep snow and the trees were weighed down by it in return. This is what Jasper endured for one last night, eventually the wind died down, the snowfall was reduced to gentle falling flakes, and the temperature began to rise until it returned back to normal for such a place like Jasper. The clouds above now began to disperse and scatter, allowing the first small rays of the sun to shine on the land after over a week of nothing but clouds and darkness. Everything began to come into view for the first time in over a week, trees could now be seen and the entire land was covered in about two feet of snow. Within the main den, Jack was silently sleeping close to the entrance, being lucky that the snow had not reached him due to the winds occasionally blowing into the den over night. Sunlight rushed its way into the den as the clouds scattered and as it entered the den, Jack opened his eyes with caution; he didn't want to hurt this eyes to the sudden surge of light.

"I can't remember the last time daylight looked so good…well, at least not since a long time ago" whispered Jack to himself.

Jack stretched out his body slowly as he lifted himself up off the ground, but as he did his vision focused on the outside more than ever, his eyes widening with fear.

"Shit" cussed Jack as he got up and ran to the back of the then to wake up Kate.

He nuzzled her head a few times before she opened her eyes and repeated the same thing Jack had done, and she also spoke as she got up.

"Jack?" said Kate with a yawn.

"What's going on?"

"How about you look outside" replied Jack.

Kate was puzzled by what Jack meant but she got up and followed him to the entrance of the den, finally looking outside for the first time in over a week. She squinted her eyes a bit to adjust to the sunlight but when she did, her eyes widened with the same fear that Jack still expressed as he stood beside her.

"Oh shit" cussed Kate quietly.

Even though everything was covered in a blanket of snow, it wasn't hard to see that numerous white wolves were standing outside in the area where the wolves would normally meet for an important meeting. Jack and Kate eyed the wolves who seemed to be focusing all their attention not only on the den, but on them too.

"Just…walk slowly"

That was all Jack could say as he walked out of the den first and then followed by Kate, making their way down the slope of the den and finally reaching the bottom to find themselves standing in front of a whole large pack made entirely of white wolves.

"Who are all of you?" asked Kate suddenly, making Jack flinch.

Kate's question caused the pack of wolves to slowly start moving towards them, striking fear into Jack and Kate as they both took a few steps back.

"You didn't have to do that" whispered Jack fearfully.

The wolves continued to make their way towards Jack and Kate slowly when suddenly, a voice spoke out.

"They're not a threat, let them be"

Upon hearing the voice, the wolves stopped walking forwards and retreated back instead, and then they started to split in two and make a clear path between them as they bowed their heads. Jack and Kate looked at each other and then back at the wolves in confusion, not knowing what had happened. From the path that the wolves had made, another wolf was walking and making its way towards Jack and Kate.

"The leader?" asked Kate in a whisper.

"Exactly" replied Jack.

The wolf was the same as all the others, pure white, but it appeared that the wolf was female and the small area of fur on her head was actually black colored instead. The female alpha made her way through the path until she was out of it and was standing only a few small feet away from Jack and Kate, her blue eyes making contact with their eyes.

"Well, it's been a long time hasn't it Jack" said the female.

Jack's fear stricken eyes were replaced with joyous ones as he came to know the voice of the wolf who was speaking to him, a voice he hadn't heard in a while.

"Kry…Krystal?"

It didn't take long before Jack realized he had leaped forward in joy and hugged Krystal, his adopted mother who had taken care of him when he was a pup. The moment was so heartwarming; Jack's eyes were welling up with tears as Krystal returned his hug, along with tears of her own as they trailed down her muzzle. Jack couldn't hold back his tears and let them out, while still maintaining his hug on Krystal, her presence being bliss for him.

"It's so good to see you again Krystal" spoke Jack.

"It's wonderful to see you again Jack, it's been a long time since you left" responded Krystal.

Kate watched from her maintained position and couldn't help but cry herself, seeing her brother once again being with the wolf who had taken care of him when he was taken away. Jack finally let go of Krystal from his hug and smiled as he stared into her loving blue eyes.

"Look at you, a handsome and wonderful wolf all grown up" said Krystal.

Jack slightly lowered his head in embarrassment as he was stared at by Krystal.

"Well…I did have someone real special to raise me this way" said Jack weakly.

Krystal let out a small laugh and then turned her attention to Kate as she hadn't moved at all.

"Don't be shy my girl, come over here"

Kate shivered some at Krystal's voice, it was demanding and full of authority, but it was also soothing and loving. She nodded her head and stepped forward to be alongside her brother as she bowed her head a little to Krystal.

"Hello ma'am" replied Kate.

Krystal gave another little laugh and placed a paw on Kate's shoulder.

"I know I look a little intimidating, but don't be scared, I'm not one to get angry" said Krystal in a soothing voice.

Kate responded by smiling at Krystal, knowing that she wasn't anyone who would hurt her. Krystal removed her paw from Kate's shoulder and then had a twinkle in her eyes.

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself to you, my name is Krystal, I'm the leader of the northern wolf pack up near the Arctic, it's nice to meet you"

"My name's Kate, I'm Jack's sister and daughter to my pack's leaders" said Kate.

"I should've known as much, I have a sense of telling when someone is special, especially since you show off pride, beauty, and responsibility as an alpha" replied Krystal.

Kate couldn't help but smile and blush slightly from the compliment that Krystal gave her, making Krystal smile back, knowing she had made Kate feel safe. Krystal then focused back on Jack.

"And there's one more thing…"

Krystal turned her head back towards her pack and spoke up loud, but her tone wasn't angry or mad at all, her voice only sounded louder.

"Girls, get out here, come give these two a welcome" said Krystal.

From the large group of Arctic wolves came three female wolves as they came two of them stood one side of Krystal with the other standing on the other side. The two that were standing together looked almost identical to each other, but one looked a bit older, and also because the younger female had light blue eyes and the other hard dark green eyes.

"I would like for you to meet my three daughters" said Krystal.

Jack didn't wait for any introductions before he stepped forward and started to talk with them as if he had known them for a long time.

"Celestial, Esmeralda, it's good to see both of you again, how's it going girls?" said Jack.

Jack walked up to the two wolves standing beside each other as they also walked forward and greeted Jack with a smile and laugh.

"It's been quite a while Jack, how's are wolf doing?" said Esmeralda, the wolf with the dark green eyes.

"It's been a real long time amiga, maybe too long, we have to work on the communication" replied Jack in his energetic and positive way.

Jack went up to Esmeralda and greeted her with a friendly hug and made it last for about half a minute before he pulled away and turned his attention back to the other wolf who was beside Esmeralda, and that happened to be Celestial.

"Celestial, how's our little girl doing?" said Jack with a smile.

Celestial couldn't help but blush as she returned Jack's smile back to him.

"I'm fine Jack…it's nice to see you again" replied Celestial quietly.

Jack leaned forward and covered one side of his face as he whispered to Celestial.

"Listen, I know the first time was a bit…awkward, but hey, you were able to get experience right?"

Celestial didn't reply with words and only smiled and nodded her agreement at Jack. Jack didn't need to give anymore words as he gave back a smile to Celestial. He was joyful and happy to see his two long time friends from the Arctic again, along with Krystal too, but his eyes then directed him to the other wolf who was standing on the other side of Krystal, her third daughter that he also knew. Though she was an Arctic wolf, she had a few rare traits that made her stand out from the rest of the pack, with those being that she had a patch of black fur around her right side around her eye and her eyes were unique. Her eyes were red and it wasn't because of blood shot or lack of sleep or anything that was a sickness, she just had pure red eyes naturally.

Jack came up to her and stared into her eyes, though now his expression was a serious one instead of the happy mood he had with Celestial and Esmeralda a few seconds ago.

"Hello…Catherine" said Jack.

"It's Paola Jack, don't forget my name" said Paola.

Paola's tone was serious and nearly emotionless when she spoke that it made Kate shiver a bit from a distance, but Jack kept his same expression and didn't lose his focus on Paola as their eye contact remained the same.

"Sorry, I meant Paola of course, but I did love the other name" said Jack, giving a grinful smile.

"Just Paola" replied Paola, her mood and tone unchanged.

Jack could only give a slight smile mixed with a grin as a response to Paola. He turned around to walk back to Kate to talk to her, but then he felt something strange. The area around him felt cold and darker, like a fog had covered everything, he noticed that Kate was still standing where she had been, but she seemed frozen, with her paw extended out towards him as if to give him something or ask a question.

"Okay…now this is just fucking weird, what's happening?" asked Jack.

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong, they'll just be like that for a moment"

"So…you still want to go ahead with that awful plan you asked for?" replied Jack.

"I think there's no point in doing that anymore, something has come up and I can feel something wrong in the air"

"What exactly is wrong?"

Jack was already lost, he was first asked to agree with a plan that he didn't want to go into effect, now he was finding out that that plan was not necessary. It made him mad but relieved at the same time.

"Something just doesn't seem right, I don't know what it is, but it's going to hit hard soon"

Jack found himself confused so more than ever before, but he only kept this focus on what his friend had to say.

"For right now, I think it's best that Kate here no longer know about this"

"What do you mean by that?"

Jack didn't get a response back to his question as a flash of light illuminated everything around him and he covered his eyes, just barely in time as the flash grew and everything became white. After a few seconds, he uncovered his eyes and looked, the first thing he saw was Kate sitting down in front of him and looking at him all puzzle.

"Are you okay Jack? You look lost" said Kate.

Jack didn't know how to respond to the sudden turnaround of things and just went along with it.

"Sorry, just got lost in my thinking again…sorry sis" replied Jack.

Kate only smiled at her brother warmly and then turned to face Krystal and her daughters.

"If you want, you can come up into our main pack's den, we can wait for my parents to come back and then I'll let you talk with them about yourselves" explained Kate.

Krystal only replied to Kate with a warm smile.

"That sounds great, thank you for inviting me in dear" said Krystal.

"Come on girls, let's get inside and have a chat with Kate here and as for the rest of you…"

Krystal gave her focus on her pack of wolves.

"Just behave yourselves and keep an eye out for any signs of another wolf pack, because they won't be a threat when they get back"

Krystal's tone in voice had turned into a demanding one, but it changed back again to her happy and sweet expression when she turned around again and followed Kate up the slope towards the den with Esmeralda, Celestial, and Paola.

"It'll be an honor to meet your parents Kate dear" said Krystal as she and her daughters went up the slope into the den with Kate.

Jack remained below and only sat there and watched the Arctic wolves disperse and walk around the area to keep an eye out for anything. Jack only sat in this position and watched the wolves spread out, but he still had his good friend by his side.

"So what exactly did you do?" asked Jack in a whisper.

"What has been seen has been erased, but that doesn't mean it's over Jack, the truth will still need to come out…no matter how painful"

First things first, I have to give a REALLY BIG apology to all of you readers out there, I took too long to update this story and I feel shameful about it. What's the reason for that you may ask? I won't talk about it, but what matters is that the story goes on and I owe everyone who has read this story an apology anyway. Also, I had to go back and think on the story a bit and where it was going to go, so there was a lot of brainstorming involved during the long time I haven't updated. And as for this, this was the great Chapter 11, with only about 12 or so chapters to go as we near our conclusion. Do we? Also, since we are getting to that point anyway, I would like to tell all of the readers that if you have questions about this story like how, who's, what, where, and why type of questions, start asking them now. I do plan to make an interview chapter where I will answer questions you might have and yes you can also ask question to the characters and they will answer them for you. How great is that? So any questions in general and relate to the story, start sending in. Just give me a PM as we progress on this journey and by the end, some questions will either remain unsolved or open. And once again, I'm sorry for this really long wait on an update. As for the ever now wanted Chapter 12, that needs work to get done on and then we move on. All of this should finish up before the end of this year. That's my goal that I want to accomplish. Remember that. Hope you enjoyed and Chapter 12 is on the way. Catcha later.

Oh yeah, and before I forget, I would like to thank both The Pack and Twain apprentice for helping me out, with The Pack telling me to read one of his stories and then also reading Twain apprentice's story, I found myself smiling and I made sure to keep in mind that I can't stop writing this story and I have to keep on going, they helped me lift myself up a bit and get back on track with a few words and a pair of good stories I had to read that I enjoyed. A special thank you to both The Pack and Twain apprentice, thanks guys.
