I awoke early in the morning. The sun wasn't even out yet. A cool morning breeze went through the air sending shivers up my spine. I looked around to see everyone still asleep. I silently got up since I didn't need to wake them up yet. I started to walk away from the group into a clearing. I started to run around the clearing getting a warm up. Plus I have been loosing my skills, like all my speed and strength since I have been injured so many times and I haven't kept myself in the best of shape. I didn't want the others to know so I've just been doing the best I could and controlling my breathing the best I could. But now I need to get my stamina and endurance back up, also my strength.
It wouldn't be too hard, just need to do some easy delta workouts. Just some easy sprints and log squats, nothing too hard. I started sprinting at my top speed through the clearing. When I got to the other side I was breathing somewhat heavily, but not too heavily so I knew I wasn't that much out of shape. I did that a few more times until I decided it was time to move on and do some log squats.
Its not that I was really week, it's just that I wasn't the strongest I could be. I wouldn't just come out here and attack a pack with only thirteen wolfs if I couldn't lead them into the battle. All I needed to do was just get used to the physical activity again, even though I had one day. But I'm just like that, my body adapts to stuff like that really fast. Probably due to my Guardain.
I soon came to a giant log that probably weighed about fifty pounds. It would be easy enough to lift it. I got it on my back and started to lift it. It seemed was really easy but as I was lifting it it seemed to become heavier. I just assumed that I was getting tired, but it seemed like it was getting heavier and heavier as I kept going. It seemed very weird, but I still lifted it. I did about 150 of them. When I was done I threw the log about five feet, but as I did it I heard screaming. I looked to where I threw the log and saw McCabe, Andy, David, and Smitty all on the ground laughing. It all made sence now. "So you guys are the reason why the log was heavier, I can't believe you guys snuck up on me like that. I am really out of practice." I said. "Yah, but your still really strong to be able to lift that log, and all of us then throw it a good five feet. You are really strong." McCabe said. I shrugged,"Guess it pays off to be me." I told him. "What is that suppose to meen?" McCabe asked. "I'll tell you in the future, but now we should get back so we can get with the others and move out." I said. They agreed.
We walked back to where everyone was. At this time the sun was just coming up. When we got back to camp we saw everyone up already. Dexter looked at me,"Where have you guys been?" He asked. "I was warming up a little, while these four decided to mess with me." I told him. "Ok, now that you guys are back we should get going, we need to go soon before anything too bad happens to our pack." Dexter said. "Very well, lets go." I said as we started to follow Dexter and his group to their pack. I looked atround to make sure that I had everyone in my group. I saw David , Andy, and Smitty talking to each other. I also saw Nikolai and Sasha talking. I looked over and saw McCabe talking with Abby. I could tell by the way McCabe looked and talked to Abby that he really liked her. I could also could tell that Abby liked him. I smiled, happy that my brother was getting to like a wolf.
We kept padding through the forest towards what we thought would be an easy battle.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Well I think that is enough for today." I said getting up. I had told them most if my life in that one day. And most of them were shocked, stunned, that I had acully been through that.
I turned around and started to walk back to my den. My two kids, Jake and Kailey, came to my sides. They looked at me, they had seen the tears in my eyes as I talked about all of my friends and family, especially their mother my mate, Kate. "Are you alright dad?" Jake asked. I looked at him, and smiled. Smiled, I hadn't smiled in ages not since the death of Kate. I guess talking about all of the people who I loved that died helped me. "Yes, I'm fine." I told him. "Dad, why have you never told us any of that before?" Kailey asked. "Because I didn't want you to be like me, going off carefree, getting yourselfs into impossible situations that you couldn't get out of. The only ways I got out of those situations was because was trained for it. their hasn't been any deltas for years, yes we still use my way of a government but we have been at peace forever, so their hasn't been any needs for deltas." I explained to them. "But dad you said that the eastern, northern, and our pack the western was united, what happened to that?" Jake asked. I sighed,"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone. Understood." I said. They nodded. "Ok, we still have somewhat of an alliance. I know both pack leader. The northern pack leader is the grandSon of my brother, McCabe. And the pack leader of the East is the grand daughter of Garth and Lilly. We have secret meetings every now and then to see what is going on in the packs. No one knows of my identity in the other packs, I'm really only a story that is told to pups as a fairy tail." I told them. They nodded their heads.
"Well, I'm going to go to sleep." I told them. They said good-bye and I left to my den. Or so they thought, it just so happened that tonight was a night that I met with the other leaders of the packs. I made my way to the usal meeting spot. When I got there I saw Lilith, and Tyson talking.
I walked up to them and they gave me their undivided attention. "So how's it been?" Tyson asked me. "It's been fine, same old same old, sort of." I told them. "What do you mean by sort of?" Lilith asked me. "Well, even though this was banned from the packs I'm telling my pack the story of my life." I said to them without care. They looked at me like I was crazy. "What!?" They both yelled. "Do you know what will happen if word gets out that your alive?" Tyson asked. "I know, but what can they do to me, I'm already old and I've been having dreams with my guardian saying my time is soon." I told them. "Well, I still don't kn… did you hear that." Tyson said. "Indeed I did." I said. "So did I." Lilith said. "Come on out, we know your there." I said.
Sloely out of the darkness appeared two figures. they started to get closer and closer. When the two figures came into sight I was shocked to have seen Jake and Kailey there. "Wait aren't these…" "My kids, yes." I said interrupting Tyson. "They must of followed me here, man my skills are going down the drain." I said. "Yes they are." Tyson and Lilith both said laughing. "Well, I did transfer my skills into you guys." I said. "What do you mean?" Jake asked. "Well, remember when I said that there are no more deltas besides me?" I asked. They nodded. "Well I lied, there are at least ten deltas in all. That includes me, these two, two more deltas in our pack, three in Tyson's, and two more in Liliths." I explained to them. "But why?" Kailey asked. "In case of an invasion, you may not know this, and I was going to tell you this later, but we have very powerful enemy's who think in dead and if they know I'm alive they'll kill me." I said to them. They looked shocked.
"Why would wolfs want to kill you?" Jake asked. I smiled,"That, my son will come later in the story if my life." I said to him. "Well I guess this brings our meeting to an end, I'll see you two soon." I said to Tyson and Lilith. "Good bye 'Humphrey the Great'." They said as they left to their packs. I then left with Jake and Kailey.
"So dad, who are the two deltas in this pack?" Jake asked. "That is classified." I said to him. "Oh." Was all he said.
We then went our separate ways to our seperate dens. I went inside of my den and fell asleep.
