Chapter 14

Kate

I woke up early that moring to attend my alpha duties. Humphrey was still asleep with his arms wrapped around me. I didn't want to wake him, so I slowly and carefully slid out from under his grasp. I glanced back at him, guilty for leaving and not telling him where I was going. He doesn't need to know where I am every minute of the day. I turn around and exit the den.

There was a thick fog in the air. I could only see twenty feet in front of me. This would be a problem. Patrolls would be doubled today, which meant I would have to stay extra late. The thought of being away from Humphrey longer than I normally am devastated me. I couldn't go that long without seeing him. I sigh and trot to my parents den.

Humphrey

I woke with a start. I heard paw steps coming towards the den. I look around the den for Kate, but she was gone. This must be her coming back to the den. A silhouette appeared in the fog outside the den. I could tell it was a female, but she didn't have the scent of Kate.

A light gray wolf with patches of white fur appeared from the fog. She looked surprised to find me in my den.

"Oh" She exclaims "You're awake".

"Yeah" I reply "What are you doing here Tasha?"

She recoils, as if hurt by my question "Am I not welcome?"

I grin at her "Of course you are".

Tasha smiles at me and walks the rest of the way into the den. She sit's inches from me and studies the den. It's been a week since she got her own den and stopped sleeping in ours. since then, Kate expanded the den to give us more room, Not that we used it. The only thing we did in our den was sleep, and we sleeped very close together. I guess when we had pups that space will be useful.

"We need to talk" Tasha says.

"About what?" I ask.

"You" She replies.

I sigh. I didn't want to talk about my new condition. I wanted life to continue like it had been two weeks ago.

"There is a full moon in nine days..." Tasha looks out of the den with her ears pointed up.

I listened closely and heard pawsteps coming towards the den. Tasha looked at me and signaled for me to be quiet. She slid into the shadows in the corner of the den. The wolf was not right outside of the den.

Winston walked into the den "Hey Humphrey".

"Hey Winston" I reply awkwardly, not sure if I should call him by his name "What's up?"

"Kate wanted me to tell you she had alpha duties for the rest of the day" Winston informs.

"Oh" I reply, disappointed that I wouldn't be able to see my mate any time soon.

Winston sniffs the air. I watched him curiously until I remembered Tasha was still hiding.

"Has Tasha been here recently?" Winston asks.

"Yeah. She was here last night" I lie.

"What did she want?" Winston asks, suspiciously.

I swallow nervously, afraid that he was on to us.

"She just came by to visit" I tell him.

Winston nods his head, and sits in silence for a while.

"We're family now" He starts "And as your father in law, I advise you to keep an eye on Tasha. Don't trust her".

I nod "I'll make sure to do that".

"If you need anything, come to me or Eve. And don't forget you have a mate to help you now" Winston says before he leaves.

Tasha materializes out of the shadows, staring at me. She had a grim look on her face.

"He's on to us" Tasha's says "He might be a problem".

Did Winston really know what was happening to me? Would this affect my relationship with Kate? I prayed that he was clueless, but deep down, I knew he knew.

"What are we going to do?" I ask in a panicked tone.

"Relax" She replies "He won't get in the way unless you ask him to".

"What were you going to say about the full moon?" I ask her.

She smiles at me, turning her rear towards me "I'll tell you on the way".

She leaves the den, and I watch her curiously. I scramble after her "On our way where?".

"To meet the rest of your new pack" Tasha tells me.

"But I already have a pack" I tell her.

"You can have two packs now" Tasha says.

I was secretly scared to meet her pack. If they didn't like me, they could tear me in half. quite literally, I imagined. I thought about Kate and wished I had her by my side.

Tasha must have been able to since my fear. "Don't worry. I'll make sure you're safe" she ensures me.

I felt safer now. I trusted Tasha, and I knew she was capable of protecting me. We came to a desert area. The only vegitation was grass. There was a small ridge made of red sand stone. In the middle of the ridge was a wide, but shallow cave.

There were three black wolves and one white wolf, all males. It surprised me that Tasha was the only girl in her pack. I was also surprised their pack was so small.

"Humphrey. Welcome" The old black male greeted. He was even older than Tony.

"Hey" I replied shyly.

"I'm Hutser" He goes on "This is Jalen, Zulu, and Koda".

Hutser first points to a black wolf, who nodded politely at me. Then he pointed to a white wolf who had a huge scar down his face. Finally, he pointed to another black wolf who looked my age. Koda didn't even aknowledge my existance.

"I know you're being rushed into things, but we need to train you before the full moon" Hutser tells me.

"What happens on the full moon?" I ask curiously.

"Unless you're trained properly, You'll lose controll of your power, and probably kill somebody" Zulu tells me.

Updates are probably going to be every other weekend since I'm busy with school and football during the week. Also, I looked into the supposedly Real "Alpha and Omega 2" That supposed to come out in two years. It didn't look very official, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
