"What do you mean?" Kate asked. I sighed,"how about I tell you what happened first." I said. They all nodded. I then explained what happened to me after the stampede. How Nikolai saved me, I lost my memory, traveling, running into the old southern pack, regaining my memory, running all night, finding a cave, getting trapped in a blizzard, getting attacked by a bear, getting injured, then saved by five wolfs. After they saved me they found out who I was. How their pack was taken over and they were enslaved. How I promised to help them after I got back to see them.

I finished my story with them in shock. "That really happened?" David asked. "Yah, you can ask Nikolai." I said. They looked over at him and he nodded. "I really want to be with you Kate, but I can not stand by and let those wolfs be enslaved. I will not stand for that." I explained to her. She looked at the ground,"Fine, but hurry back please." She said. "Don't worry I will." I told her as I kissed her. I then turned to my friends,"I'm not going to bring our whole army, so I'm just going to bring you guys." I told them. They nodded. "We'll be back as soon as possible." I told Kate. She nodded.

Then David, Andy, Smitty, Nikolai, McCabe and I left to go to the other pack. Luckily I knew the way back to where we met Dexter, Abby, Roman, Beret, and Natalia. We then started to run to where we needed to go. But when we were running I felt like we were being followed. And I now always trusted to use my senses. "Guys stop." I told them. We stopped. "What is it?" Andy asked. I looked around and listened for anything. I heard two wolfs breathing. "Come out you two, I know you're there." I said.

Seconds later two familiar wolfs stepped out. "Earl, Blake what are you two doing here?" I asked them. "Well, us two were walking and talking when we came by your den and heard you talking about taking on the old southern pack. and sense both of us hate them for different reasons we came to help." Earl explained. I nodded. "But why did you try and sneak there with us, you could if just asked and we would of said yes." I told them. "Yes, but we weren't sneaking we were trying to catch up with you. We are not as fast as we used to be." Blake said. "I guess your right, come on we can't waste anymore time, we need to get there." I told them as we again started to run but at a slower speed so Earl and Blake could keep up.

"So how long until we get there?" Andy asked. "Probably a dat and a half since we now have all of you." I said. "What's that suppose to mean." Andy said. "Shut up, I did not mean it like that." I told him. "I know, I just like to frustrate you." He said chuckling a little. I sighed,"Your're lucky your my friend." I told him. "What is that suppose to mean?" He asked. I turned to him and smiled evilly. He gulped and then he shut up. "Finally someone shutted him up!" David said. We all laughed at this. But Andy didn't seem amused.

We ran until midday. By that point everyone but me and McCabe and Smitty were tired since we were more in shape than them. "We'll stop here for a while. McCabe, Smitty, Nikolai I need you three to go hunt and David, you and Andy scout ahead, see if theirs any trouble. They all nodded and left. I then turned to Earl and Blake.

"so, how have you two been? I haven't talked to you guys in a while." I said. "How any of you found someone?" I asked. They sighed. "Nope, no one yet." Earl said. "Same with me, but then again who would want to be with this ragged wolf?" Blake said gesturing to himself. "Come on don't be like that. You'll both find someone someday." I told them. "yah, your probably right." Blake said. I smirked,"Arnt I always."

We chated some more, catching up with each other. Soon McCabe Nikolai and Smitty returned with three caribuio. "Good catch guys." I told them. "Thank you bro." McCabe said. Smitty nodded, still not talking like he never has. We all started to eat. Soon Andy and David returned and joined us. "So anything up ahead?" I asked as we ate. "Nope, nothing threatening at least." David ansewered. I nodded. We finished eating and started to move again.

McCabe and I were in the front of the group, Earl and Blake in the middle, and the other four in the back. After ten minutes of running I decided to start a conversation with McCabe. "So McCabe, have you found anyone yet?" He looked at me with a confused look on his face. "Oh, that's what you mean." He said finally getting it. "No not yet, I'm hoping to find someone before I die off." He said. "I'm sure you will. I mean you are my brother." he looked at me with the 'really' look on his face. I chuckled a little. "No, but I'm sure you'll find someone." "thanks." He said.

We ran all through the day. We were going faster then I thought we would. We were coming closer to where we were meeting those wolfs. "We're almost there." I told them. Within an hour we came upon a familiar den. It was night so I guess they were all sleeping. "You guys stay out here, I'll go get them." I told them. They nodded. I went into the cave. "Dexter…" I called out. I heard groaning. "Who is it?" He asked me in a tired voice. "It's Humphrey." I said. Within seconds of saying that he was right in my face. "Im so glad you came." He said. "No problem, come on I want you to meet my team." I led him to were everyone was.

"this is everyone?" He asked unsure of the numbers. "Yes, but don't let numbers deceive you, these are my best fighters I have to offer. We have Smitty, McCabe, David, Andy, Earl, Blake, and you know Nikolai." I said introducing everyone. "Are you sure about this?" He asked. I looked him straight in the eyes with a serious face and told him,"I trust all of these wolfs with my life, everyone here but McCabe and Blake, saved me in some way. Earl took me in when I was lost in the woods. David, Smitty, and Andy saved me Earl, and McCabe for three grizzly bears. And Nikolai saved me from a river and took care of me. McCabe and Blake our both family. U have seen them all fight and I know they are all strong. Like I said I trust them with my life, so I would too if I were you. Got it." I told him getting in his face. He nodded obviously scared from me getting in his face. I calmed down and smiled. "Good, now that we have that settled, when should we leave?" I asked. "I was thinking the day after you got here which would be tomorrow morning." he said. "Sounds good to me, that's gives us enough time to rest." I said turning around and walking off. I told everyone to stay there and get some rest.

I left into the forest to clear my mind. The reason I blew up in his face was because of the intense stress I had lately. I went deep into the forest so I knew no one could hear me. I was going to howl, howling always calmed me down and relived my stress. I found a secluded place were I could do my howling. I lifted my head up and started to howl. This was a happy howl though. Howling for all the blessings I had been given. My family, friends, peace in my pack, enough food. I howled my happiness into the night sky. The night sky was clear with a full moon shinning down.

I finally finished my howl after a while. I smiled to myself and made my way back to the others. I made it back to see them all sleeping peacefully. I wish that everyday could be like this, but alas it could not. For tomorrow we would have a battle to fight, and hopefully get rid of the evilness of the old southern pack of jasper. I then lied down and fell into a well deserved sleep.
