Alpha & Omega

Chapter 25: New hope, New Wounds

I don't have much to say, but read and continue with the story. I appreciate all the reviews everyone sent me, thanks to all who have read my story and have wanting more of this story. I just want to let you know that, the last chapter made my eyes tear up. I wrote the chapter and I started to tear up, embarrassing, isn't it? Well, why won't you try listening to that song while reading that chapter? I bet you are saying that you won't tear up, that's because you don't have feelings. Continue reading, my fans.

"I have a pulse!" Sally shouted.

Winston and Eve turned, awe struck. Kate and Lilly's head rose in an instant of hearing Sally say that Humphrey still has a pulse. Sally removed her paw from his neck and ran towards the tree of Kate's and Humphrey's den.

"Hu-Humphrey?" Kate asked as she placed her paw on his neck.

"Thump…thump…thump…thump…thump." Kate felt the pulse, slightly beating. The slight beating was enough to let her know that he was still alive. Kate pulled her paw back and nuzzled him.

"Come on Humphrey. You can pull through." Kate sobbed; fear that she might lose him, again. Winston and Eve rushed to his side and saw the leaves that Eve placed on him, now fully soaked in blood. It didn't take long until Sally came back with vines and leaves.

"Kate, Eve, Lilly, I need you to help me with Humphrey. We have to take him to my den, or else he is going to bleed to death." Sally said as she placed the leaves over the blood soaked ones, and tied it with the vines.

"Can't you help him now!" Lilly asked as she wiped her tears away.

"Only if you want him to die in a pool of his own blood, now hurry!" Sally said as she dashed off towards her den. Eve, Kate, and Lilly did what they could do to help Humphrey before he bled to death. Eve grabbed Humphrey by the scruff of the neck and placed him on Winston.

Winston didn't know why he had to carry him but it didn't matter, when life or death is near. Winston took off to Sally's den with Kate, Lilly, and Eve beside him. Kate never took her eyes off him. It didn't take long until they were at the feeding grounds and the pack saw a bloody wolf, carried by Winston.

"What happened?"

"Who's that?"

"Why is that wolf bleeding?"

"Is it an enemy of the southern pack?"

Winston could hear the pack asking questions.

"This is going to be a long explanation to them." Winston thought to himself. Winston looked around and saw Sally's den not too far from where he was at. Winston sprinted off to the den to save Humphrey's life. Winston ran into the den to see Sally smashing berries together, making a liquid substance in a wooden log, in a shape of a bowl.

"Good you're here, set him here." said as she pointed towards the wall of the den. Winston turned to wall and saw a bed of leaves, herbs, berries, and vines. Winston hesitated for a second and placed Humphrey on the ground. Kate looked in the den and found it quite large.

The den was as big as her parents, enough room for at least 5 wolves. Kate shook her head from the thought and focused back on Humphrey.

"Is he going to make a full recovery?" Kate asked with curiosity in her voice.

"I don't know, he has a pulse and that's what really matters right now. I won't know if he is going to make it, he lost so much blood. We can only pray that he will make it." Sally said while she worked on the berry mixture. Kate walked over to Humphrey and saw his motionless body.

Kate laid right next him and nudged him.

"Please don't die Humphrey, I'm sorry." Kate cried. Lilly saw her sister next to him and saw that he wasn't moving. Even though he had a pulse, he could still die from the loss of blood. Lilly walked over to her sister, with tears in her eyes, and spoke in a shaky voice.

"K-Kate, Sa-Sally needs t-to he-help him."

"No, It was my fault that the hunter shot him. It's my fault that he was almost killed, and I said that life would be better if he was dead." Kate sobbed.

"Kate, Sally needs to work on Humphrey. You need to move or Humphrey will die." Eve said with sorrow. Kate didn't hesitate; if she was in the way then Humphrey could die and walked away. Before Kate walked away she kissed Humphrey.

"I love you," said Kate before she exited the den. Sally brought the berry mixture and set it next to Humphrey. Sally removed the leaves and was shocked to see what was behind the blood coated leaves.
