Alpha & Omega
Chapter 52: More Plans and Ideas
Again, I am sorry for the late update. I understand if you hate me, but please, don't think badly of me. I try my best, just as much as you. But the week of Finals was pretty… rough. Tests were not the problem, but I had a few problems with life and my friend. It's… just that… with Christmas coming and me being the best friend I could be, decided to give a good friend a gift. I did and she loved it. I wrote her a poem, but… you probably already know what happens next. Well, it happened and when school was over, I decided to go home, and head back to school in an hour. I was at school at 4:30pm, and at 5:40, I headed home. While I was at school, I decided to walk the track and clear my head, but it resulted me in sitting on the bleachers and I broke down. I couldn't handle it anymore. But, a REALLY good friend of mine helped me pull through, and I thank him. I will try to do my best to make up, but updates will be kind of slow. Thank you for understanding.
Hohensi and Sally held each other, with Sally crying softly in his shoulder fur.
"Please, let me get him. I want him to pay." Hohensi begged, wanting revenge on the Northern Pack Leader.
"You can't. You won't be able to stand him. He gets what he wants and no one disobeys him." Sally informed, not letting go of him.
"Sweetie, we need to alert Winston of this, he needs to know. They accomplice with us and they could turn against us at any moment." Hohensi asked, letting her go slightly, but was squeezed by Sally.
"But I thought they retreated back?" Sally asked, confused.
"They did, but do you really think they would stop that fast?" Hohensi question, receiving a blank expression on Sally's face. Hohensi kissed her and pulled away from her hug, slowly walking towards the exit of the den and into the warm sun.
"Come on, he needs to know." Hohensi called out and began to walk to Winston's den. Sally followed but was in deep thought.
"What if he sees me? What if he recognizes me? What if he starts a war with us?" Sally's mind asked, but received no answers.
(Winston's Den)
Kate awoke from her sleep with a slight growl coming from someone she recognized.
"What now mom?" Kate asked her; voice slightly groggy. Kate opened her eyes and saw Eve there with a slight disappointed look on her face.
"Do you know what you and Humphrey did to the pups?" Eve asked, slightly angered.
"K-Kate, what's happening?" Humphrey called from behind her, his voice slightly in fear.
"Yes, we know, but what about the pups?" Kate asked as she stood up and stretched. Kate finished her stretching and sat beside Humphrey, listening on what her mom had to say.
"All the pups want to 'hug' one another, scared that they might lose each other. Susie and Gilbert were holding each other, crying that they were going to be torn away from each other. They admitted their feelings, but they're still pups!" Eve bellowed. Humphrey flinched from the sudden shout, making him whimper slightly.
"It was cute, yes, but they are taking it too seriously." Winston added as he sat by Eve, calming her down a little.
"S-sir…" Humphrey started but was silenced when Winston raised his paw.
"Let's forget about that, we need to tell you something first, but it will most likely result in some sort of sacrifice." Winston started, looking at Humphrey.
"Sacrifice?" Kate and Humphrey said in unison. Winston nodded and Eve nodded, confirming on what he said.
"Sir, I'll sacrifice myself. I'll do it for Kate." Humphrey answered, making Kate give him a worried look.
"I appreciate the offer, but it won't be for Kate. It will be for Sally. The Northern Pack Leader saw her in the first battle, and is now demanding for her to be given back." Winston informed, receiving questioning looks from Kate and Humphrey.
"He saw me?" Sally asked from the entrance of the den, making the wolves in it turn to face her.
"Sally, your dad saw you, and is now demanding you to return or else." Winston said from the middle of the den.
"Or else what?" Kate asked.
"War." Winston answered.
"ANOTHER WAR!" Humphrey shouted, making him hold his side in pain. Winston nodded and looked at Sally, and by now, she had tears in her eyes.
"I won't let him take her." Said Hohensi as he stood next to Sally, comforting her.
"We can't afford to lose anymore wolves. We can't go to war with them. I don't like the fact that we have to give her up, but I will not let my pack get slaughter before my very eyes." Winston said to Hohensi making him growl.
"Do you know her life? Do you know what that monster did to her?" Hohensi shouted, waking Lilly up.
"He ruined her life, and he should pay for it! Because of him, Sally can't have kids!" Hohensi shouted, tears slowly falling down his face. The sudden outburst caused Kate and Eve to have small gasps, while Humphrey and Winston stared with wide open eyes.
"That's right, because of him, well never have pups." Hohensi added as he held Sally close to him.
"Sir, we can't let her dad take her back. He needs to let her daughter go." Humphrey whispered to Winston.
"Hohensi, I am sorry for my misunderstanding, and we will keep her safe. But what will we do about her dad? If we refuse him, we'll have another war." Winston asked, making the den silent.
"Dad, what's going on?" Lilly asked from the back of the room. Everyone diverted their attention to Lilly, making her look at everyone with a puzzled face.
"Lilly, I'll explain later, please, just go back to sleep." Winston asked; irritation in his voice.
"But I want to know why Sally and Hohensi are crying?" Lilly persisted.
"A WAR IS AMONG US, OKAY?" Winston shouted at Lilly, making everyone look at him with shock. Winston was breathing deeply, not believing he actually shouted at his daughter. Lilly stared at her dad, tears forming in her eyes from his sudden outburst towards her.
She stood up with some difficulty and limped out the den, not looking at anyone as she passed by. Eve glared angrily at Winston and followed Lilly outside.
"Sweetheart, you know your dad didn't mean to shout at you. He's just under a lot of pressure right now with the upcoming war." Eve informed Lilly, but did little help. Lilly ignored her mother and continued to limp until she came upon the trench. She stood there; looking down as tears slowly dripped of her white her cheeks and onto the cold, hard, ground.
Lilly sat down and began to quietly sob, but Eve comforted her and held her by her side. Within minutes, Lilly stopped crying and wiped her tears away.
"It's okay Lilly, I'm sure your father will apologize for what he has done." Eve comforted. Lilly nodded and held her mom close to her.
"Come on, you need to hear this as well." Said Eve as she nuzzled her daughter on her cheek. Lilly nodded and began to walk back to the den. When they arrived, they saw all the wolves in a semi-circle, discussing on what to do. The circle was around Humphrey because he couldn't move around as much, but he had some good ideas.
"Winston, you didn't forget did you?" Eve called out as Lilly and she entered the den, making Winston turn around and he had his head hung low.
Winston walked to Lilly and hugged her, not letting go.
"I'm sorry Lilly; I didn't mean to yell at you. I have a lot of stress on me with the past war and now an upcoming war. Please forgive me." Winston begged, wanting his daughter to forgive him.
"Its okay dad, I forgive you." Lilly answered, making him smile and pulled back from the hug.
"Come on, we need all the help we need." Winston motioned with his paw as he sat by Humphrey. Lilly limped over to her dad and sat down with her mom beside her. Humphrey was sitting left of Winston, right of Kate, and in front of Sally. On Kate's left was Hohensi with Sally on his left and Eve on Sally's left.
With all seven wolves in a circle, they began to talk over what to do.
"Winston, we need information on the Northern Pack Leader, what's his name?" Humphrey asked. Winston sighed, trying to remember his difficult name.
"Tanckerly? Tansely?" Winston named as he tried to remember.
"Tankersly?" Sally answered for Winston. Winston nodded and thanked Sally. Humphrey nodded slowly and continued on.
"They call him 'Tank' for short because he is practically un-stoppable." Winston added, receiving wide eyes from Kate and Humphrey.
"Doesn't scare me." Hohensi whispered to himself, but Sally heard him.
"You don't understand do you?" Sally asked Hohensi, catching him off guard.
"He gets what he wants. No matter whom you are! Even me." Sally whispered, tears now forming in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let him get away with it." Hohensi protested while he hugged her, trying to comfort her, the best he could.
"Dad, we need to get Tank, we can't let them get to Sally." Said Kate. Winston nodded and the den was silent, all the wolves were thinking of ways to solve this.
"What if…" Humphrey started, gaining every ones attention.
"What if, we put Lilly's plan on ambushing the South, on the North?" everyone looked at each other and received nods from everyone but Sally and Hohensi.
"Could you explain more?" Sally asked.
"Well, just go along with it okay? What if, we have Winston and Sally walk alone to where they would give receive her, and when Tank comes for his taking, we have Kate, Eve, and Hohensi come from the sides. You fight them off, oh, and try to make the trade-off at a slanted hill, running into the valley, and ill help the best I could." Humphrey finished, now receiving question looks from everyone.
"But you're in no condition to do such a thing, nonetheless, move two feet without being in pain." Eve protested. Humphrey's ears slightly drooped, but they shot straight up when he had an idea. He motioned with his paws to show a private talk.
All the wolves leaned in and listened as Humphrey explained his plan. They all began to nod, but Kate was slightly worried about it.
"But what if goes wrong?" Kate asked.
"It won't, and plus, you know how to do it, so well be fine." Humphrey re-assured with a smile.
"I have a question?" hohensi asked.
"What?" Humphrey answered.
"Why did you whisper it when you could have told us just like now?" The den was silent, but the sound of soft giggling coming from Kate, making Humphrey's cheeks slightly burn.
"Ugh, because… because, the writer wants the readers to be anxious on what my plan was?" Humphrey answered with a weak smile.
"Ookayyy…" Hohensi shrugged his shoulders and looked at Sally who was now yawning. Kate and Humphrey looked out of the den and saw the sun now giving off its loving shades of red, orange, and all the mixing colors of them in between.
"Winston, when will we put the plan into effect?" Eve asked. Winston thought about it, and realized something that would have been fatal.
"We are going to need all the help we need, so I am going to see Kenji and ask her for help. Just our pack doesn't stand a chance." Winston explained as he stood up and walked out the den.
"Mom, but what if they follow?" Lilly asked.
"Who likes digging?" Eve asked randomly.
"If we dig up some trenches like the one down the slope outside, then we could have a better advantage. You, know, traps, and have some sticks in there. A death pit." Eve said with an evil smile.
"You know? Even though I'm scared of your mom Kate, I agree with her. I think spending time with your mom makes you sort of, different in thoughts." Humphrey realized. Kate nodded and laid by Humphrey, but she couldn't stop smiling, making everyone wonder why.
"Smell sooooooooo, good." Kate with a moan.
"KATE!" Eve shouted, making Kate sigh and hugged Humphrey. Humphrey was whimpering slightly but was scared of what Eve would do. Sally, Hohensi, and Lilly decided to sit back, and enjoy the show.
"What mom, I can't do this?" Kate asked as she kissed him. Humphrey closed his eyes and accepted the kiss, now ignoring Eve. When Kate pulled back she rolled over so she was on top.
"And this?" Kate asked again as she rubbed her body on Humphrey's. Eve was filled with rage, and Lilly decided to limp outside, not wanting to see what was going to happen next.
Sally and Hohensi were watching with wide eyes and decided to leave, scared of what was going to happen. Humphrey couldn't hold his lust in and decided to nobble on Kate's ears, causing small moans to escape her.
Eve walked towards then and Kate was pulled off Humphrey, being dragged by Eve by her scruff of her neck.
"Mom, I'm not a pup anymore." Kate whined. Humphrey watched as his mate was being dragged outside. Eve let go of Kate and stared at her with anger in her eyes.
"If you act like a pup, then I'll treat you like a pup." Eve said in Kate's face.
"Hey Kate!" a female wolf shouted from the slope. Both Eve and Kate looked and saw a mother walk up to them with 'anger' written all over her face.
"My daughter was trying to… to… 'Hug' another boy, scared that he was going to find someone else." The mother asked, outraged on Kate and Humphrey's actions.
"Well, look on the bright side. Your daughter showed her true feeling towards a boy she likes, and now they can be together in harmony." Kate responded with a cheesy smile. Eve and the mother stared at Kate with a raised eye.
"You know, your right Kate. I just have to accept the fact that my little princes is now growing up. I should give her some freedom, but I will still look put for her." The mom thanked her and left within seconds.
"I… I don't know what to say." Eve said to Kate.
"You could say you're sorry to Humphrey for pulling me away from out time together." Kate started. Eve smile and shook her side-to-side.
"Not so fast Kate, but I also realized that when you said that the first time you two were intimate, you actually weren't in heat. You WANTED to do that. Didn't you?" Eve questioned, making Kate's eyes wide and her face turned red.
"Ugh… no…" Kate answered while she rolled her eyes and looked away from her mother.
So was Kate really in heat? And what was Humphrey plan that he had to whisper it? Am I doing well? Please tell me in a Review or a P.M. I am sorry for not keeping my promises, but I am trying my best. Reviews make me happy because it shows that you are taking time out of your day for reading this and that you stick with me even with problems. Thank you.
