I know I am late. But there is a reason. I am trying to shrink this story. Make it not too complicated and hard to understand. There are lot works to do but I promised there will be another update today.

I Am Not Alone

Winston was tracking Kate and Humphrey's sense, because when he got to their den they were gone. So he followed there sense all the way up to mountain.

What are they doing up here? He wondered.

"Winston!" a call was coming from his back. He knows that was tony. Seems he wasn't the only one who was tracking others.

"Yes, what was it?" Winston turns back. He already knows what was tony here for. Tomorrow was the day the new legal will be promulgated, but they still haven't got any consensus on the mate issue.

"The new laws! Winston!" tony said and stops to gasp. He was looking for him for two hours.

"Yes, and what about it?" Winston asked.

"What about it? Don't you remember? We still haven't figure out a way to solve the issue of the mate problem!" tony was a little upset by Winston's absent-minded attitude.

"Yes I am working in it and sorry for not paying attantion. I was thinking about some family problem." Winston said. He just realized it wasn't a right attitude to talk to tony when they are discussing about the pack. Their act now was pack leader, not friend.

"What did you mean you are working on it?" tony asked, his face was alleviate a little. He can't understand how can he working on that when he was hanging around in the mountain.

"Well, I just had a talk with garth about training Lilly, and now I am going to find Kate." Winston explained. "So can we continue our talk tonight? After I had talk with Kate?"

Tony looked at Winston for seconds and nod.

"So you will use my way?" tony asked.

"Yes, and I'll find you after dinner." Winston promised.

"No, I'll go find you then, just make sure Eve won't be your side." tony said, walking back to the den area.

Winston sits there and waits until he can't see Tony's back. Then he keeps on tracking Humphrey and Kate. But this time he has another question in his mind. Where is Eve now?

"Kate are you sure..." Humphrey asked weekly.

"Yes, I am sure. I don't want to hear anything not about the foods." Kate answered and kept digging... Mushrooms.

"No! this time is about...are you sure this is eaten able?" Humphrey said, pick up a colorful mushroom and asked.

"Yeap, they told me only not to eat the one with spots on it." Kate answered and did out another mushroom.

"Well I didn't see any spot on this thing but ... why don't just let me eat berries?"

Humphrey said and asked. He didn't felt right about this thing dig out from the ground.

"Cause I don't like the taste of berry." Kate answered. Kept digging to find more.

"What? I thought this is only for me." Humphrey was surprised.

"Don't be stupid. How can I let you eating this alone?" Kate said in an easy tone. "I like mushroom." she added with smile.

Humphrey knew Kate was faking the smile. He completely knows how the alphas think about those vegetarian in the pack. And he doesn't think Kate will be special.

He just keeps looking at Kate.

"...ok I don't like mushroom..." Kate surrender. "I won't let you be alone Humphrey."

"I am not alone Kate. How can I be alone when I have a mate like you?" Humphrey said and walked up to nuzzle Kate's neck. "But this is my problem. You don't have to suffer this."

"What if I want to?" Kate can felt the body heat and love of Humphrey, and that make her more determined to the decision of not let him eating this alone.

"Kate..."

"This is decided. Let's find more of these things. It is not enough for two adult wolves." Kate said and turns back to the hole on the ground. This time Humphrey was digging with her.

When Winston was tracking them he noticed there are a lot of hole on the road they had pass.

What are they doing up here? He wondered again. Finding something or hiding something?

Winston shakes his head to make it clear. He still doesn't know how to deal with Humphreys rank, after all he had promised his mother.
