Alpha & Omega

Chapter 21: The Act

So Garth is going to get his ass kicked by Eve, for leaving Lilly for another wolf. Yeah, that sounds about right. Humphrey wants to witness the fight, and is going to leave to Saw tooth National Park in a couple days. Enjoy the chapter.

Humphrey snickered evilly, at the thought of seeing Garth getting his ass kicked by Eve. Winston, Lilly, and Eve didn't notice him because Eve gladly walked out of the den with an evil smile on her face.

"We should wash up before we see Eve kick Garth's ass." Humphrey chuckled. Kate looked at Humphrey with an odd stare.

"Humphrey, are you okay? You're acting, different." Kate asked worried. Humphrey turned his attention to Kate and realized he was.

"Wh-what do you mean?" Humphrey stuttered at first.

"When my mom is going to kick Garth's ass, you didn't mind. You wanted her to do it. Why?" Kate asked puzzled. Humphrey was thinking of ways to tell Kate why he was acting different.

"Kate, there's something I need to tell you about myself." Humphrey said looking down.

"What do you need to tell me? I know everything about you." Kate smiled.

"No. No you don't. I am an alpha."

"I know you are." Kate said rolling her eyes.

"Kate, please. When I was in alpha school, I was not the fun loving omega you see now. I was a ruthless bastered. I wouldn't let anyone get in my way of achieving something I wanted."

Kate looked at Humphrey, shocked.

"I have these, evil, emotions. I would act differently, I would be cruel, heartless, and let down. When I heard that Garth left Lilly, these emotions somehow got free. They would control me. Hohensi visited me.

Flashback

"It's good to see you becoming yourself again Humphrey." Hohensi said sitting down.

"I don't want to become what I used to be, I like the way I am now." Humphrey said trying to calm down. Hohensi frowned at what Humphrey said.

End of Flashback

"Hohensi knew about your emotions?" Kate asked, making sure she heard right. Humphrey nodded and looked at the entrance.

"I still want to see Garth getting his ass kicked. Could I?" Humphrey asked making the puppy face Kate use on him. Kate stared at him and smiled.

"I don't know. Let's wash up, and I'll think about it." Kate said standing up. Humphrey wagged his tail and stood up slowly to follow her.

Humphrey walked slowly do to his side. If he moved too fast he could un-do the bandages and bleed. Kate slowed down and waited for her mate to catch up. Humphrey caught up to Kate and she let him lean on her when he needed to rest.

After about a good five minute walk, they were just exiting the feeding grounds.

"Follow me. I want to show you something." Kate said moving in a different direction. Humphrey followed Kate and notices the sound of water falling.

"Where is she taking me? I hear water; could it be just a small stream?" Humphrey questioned himself. Soon after a few minutes Humphrey's questions was answered.

There was a small water fall with a meadow of flowers all around them.

"Th-this is the place…" Humphrey said in shock.

"This is a place where I liked to go, to empty my mind. It's very peaceful." Kate said smiling at the scenery.

"I've been here. This was my home a long time ago." Humphrey said, tears forming in his eyes. Kate stared at him.

"This was ruined by a fire that humans created. Everything was burned, nothing survived the inferno. I was going to bring you here when we were little. I was going to tell you my feelings towards you. But that day was burned." Humphrey said a little angered.

"You used to live here?" Kate asked. Humphrey nodded weakly at the memory of what happened.

"Yes, there is a cave over there where I stayed." Humphrey said limping to it. Kate followed him and saw a cave, and in that cave was a small patch of flowers, every flower different.

"Wow." Kate whispered.

"It took me years to re-build this." Humphrey said lying on the patch of flowers.

"This is where I placed the flower in Lilly's fur." Humphrey said looking down. He stood up and walked outside.

"This is where Lilly was going to kiss me. I turned away and tripped. She was kissing me and I ran off." Humphrey said almost in an angry tone. He stood up once again and walked towards the forest.

Humphrey sat down with trees all around him and saw vines and a shattered log. Humphrey looked away from the scene and Kate sat next to him.

"What happened here?" asked Kate.

"This...this is where Lilly…" Humphrey couldn't finish his sentence and started to cry. Kate instantly knew that this was where Lilly raped him. Kate embraced her mate as he cried softly into her fur.

Kate got a whiff of the area and it had Humphrey's and Lilly's scent all over it.

"It's ok Humphrey." Kate said licking his cheek. Humphrey cheered up a bit and licked Kate's nose.

"Thank you." He said as he laid his head on her chest. Kate could feel his soft breaths on her chest and looked up. The sun was high noon and it wasn't that bad of weather. It was cool and slightly breezy.

Humphrey fell asleep in Kate's warm embrace. Kate heard screaming in the distance, breaking the silence.

"I'm guessing mom got to Garth. He deserves what he gets for leaving my sister." Kate thought with a smile.

"Kate? Is that you?" a voice asked behind her. Kate turned her head around and saw her dad walking out of the forest to meet her.

"Hey dad." Kate whispered, not waking up Humphrey. Winston saw Humphrey asleep and smiled.

"I see you found Humphrey's favorite spot." Winston said smiling.

"How did you know? He just told me a brief history of this place before he fell asleep." Kate said leaving out the parts with Lilly in it.

"I watched him recently leave when you had to come home. I followed him here and saw that he was taking care of this place. He would occasionally sleep here when he took a nap and wouldn't wake up." finished Winston looking out at the scenery.

"I heard him say that he was doing this for you. He wanted to express himself to you, before he could, this place was on fire." Winston said sad.

Winston took a deep breath and smelled Lilly. Winston looked around and Kate saw him look around as if he was looking for something.

"What's bothering you dad?" Kate said with a questioned look.

"I smell Lilly, but I can't find her." Winston said taking another sniff. Kate was scared that her dad would find out about Lilly and Humphrey's 'incident'. Kate was thinking of ways to change the subject, then one popped in her head.

"Was the screaming from Garth?" Kate asked. Winston looked at Kate and answered.

"Yes, Eve literally tore his ears off, but before she could do anything Tony stepped in and handled it from there." Winston chuckled. Kate sighed in relief that her planned worked and continued with it.

"What did Tony do?" Kate asked wanting more information.

"He took Garth and went back to the eastern pack. I don't know what he's doing to him now, but Lilly was satisfied at what Eve did. Also, why is Lilly's scent here?" Winston said returning back to the subject.

Kate looked away, her planned worked but not enough. Winston notice Kate look away and asked again.

"Kate, why is Lilly's scent here…" 'sniff' "…with Humphrey's?" Winston asked confuse. Before Kate could respond Humphrey spoke.

"Hmmmm…Lilly…don't…please…don't….do this…" Humphrey turned in Kate's fur. "…Kate…please…don't leave…" Humphrey tossed and turned and woke up to see Winston looking at him.

"Kate, what is he talking about?" Winston asked in a demanding tone. Humphrey looked at Winston and then to Kate.

"Wh-what's going on?" Humphrey asked, he sniffed and smelled Lilly's scent. Humphrey instantly knew that Winston would smell the scent and asked what happened.

"Winston, sir, I can explain. Lilly ra…ra…" Humphrey couldn't say it.

"Lilly what?" Winston demanded.

"Lilly raped Humphrey!" Kate shouted. Winston grew wide eyed and Humphrey looked away.

"Lilly…raped, you?" Winston asked looking at Humphrey. Humphrey nodded slowly, knowing that Winston would attack him.

"Yes. Lilly raped him because she was in heat." Kate added backing up Humphrey. Winston looked down and shook his head.

"No. Lilly wouldn't do that. I don't believe you two." Winston answered angrily.

"It's true dad." Lilly said walking out of the forest and sitting next to Humphrey.

"Lilly? You raped Humphrey?" Winston questioned.

"Yes dad. I was in heat and I talked to Humphrey privately. He treats Kate with love and respect that I became jealous of it. Garth never treated me like that. Humphrey was always there for me in time of need. I started to have these feelings for him; he treated me with more respect than Garth in one day." Lilly finished looking at Humphrey.

"I don't believe this. My two daughters both love one wolf and they are traveling tomorrow alone. I'm sorry but, Lilly, you can't go with them." Winston said sadly.

"No. I'm going." Lilly refused.

"No you are not." Winston said. "That's final."

"Humphrey, Kate, I am sorry for not believing you but Lilly can't go with you guys back to Idaho."

"Sir, but…"

"No, and that's final." Winston finished walking away.

"I will be kind enough not to tell Eve, but I am disappointed in all of you." With that Winston walked away.

"Lilly? Are you okay?" Kate asked looking at her sister.

"I don't want them to treat me like a pup anymore. I am full grown and I can make my own decisions from now on, and I am saying that I am going with you guys to Idaho." Lilly said with a smile.

Lilly, but what if something happens to you while we all go?" Humphrey asked.

Lilly looked at Humphrey," I'll be fine."

Back at Winston's and Eve's Den

Eve walked in the den happy at what she did to Garth for leaving her daughter. Blood was on her paws and mouth from tearing Garth's ears off.

"That should teach him a lesson about leaving someone." Eve smiled and notice that Winston wasn't in the den.

"Hmm,
where did he go?" Eve asked herself. Just then Winston walked into the den and walked towards the back of the den. Eve saw his face and looked like he was worried, and decided to go talk to him.

"Winston dear, what's the matter?" Eve asked lying next to him. Winston looked at his mate and smiled weakly.

"Lilly will not be going with Humphrey and Kate's trip to Idaho."

"Why not? I thought she wanted to go?" Eve asked sitting up.

"She changed her mind, she wants to stay here and try to find a wolf to love again." Winston lied to his mates face.

Humphrey, Kate, and Lilly

The three wolves started to walk back when Humphrey realized to do something.

"Kate, you know what we forgot to do?" Humphrey smiled and stopped.

"No. What?" Kate asked turning around.

"We need to wash up so we can see Garth get his ass kicked by Eve." Humphrey smiled.

"Humphrey, Eve already kicked Garth's ass. But let's go wash up. Thanks for reminding me." Kate said nudging Humphrey.

"Eve already kicked his ass? Aw man I missed it." Humphrey thought to himself. It didn't matter, Kate was with him as they reached the small stream. Humphrey watched as Kate and Lilly got in washing their fur.

After about five minutes Humphrey went into the stream, and started to clean himself. Humphrey ignored watching seeing two female wolves wash up and cleaned himself.

Humphrey quickly washed himself and got out. He shook himself dried and sat at the bank looking at the vast flowers.

"Just until tomorrow, and we will be heading to Idaho." Kate said lying next to Humphrey. Humphrey ignored what she said and snuggled closer to her.

"We should get some sleep. We are going to be waking up early in the morning to catch the train." Humphrey said as he stood up.

"Alright, let's sleep in that cave there." Lilly said pointing to the cave in the wall. The three wolves walked in and laid down. Humphrey and Kate slept together and Lilly slept by herself in the patch of flowers.

"Good night Kate." Humphrey said licking her nose.

"Good night Humphrey." Kate said kissing him.

The sun was still up in the sky, it looked like there was still about three hours of light before the moon came out. The three wolves fell asleep early because they have a busy day ahead of them.
