Winston's P.O.V.
'Kate And That Pup I Had Saved Just Left The Den So Me And Eve Could Talk Privately. Right Now I Was In The Process Of Being Grilled By Her As She Wasn't Exactly Comfortable With Having Our Daughter Being Alone With A Complete Stranger, However It Was Understandable'.
"Eve I Told You, When Me And Kate Were On Our Walk We Simply Found Him Floating Up The River Entangled In A Pile Of Sticks. I Don't Know Anything Else Prior To That About Him" I Said To Her.
"That Doesn't Sound Like A Story The Pack Will Believe Winston" She Replied.
"I Mean, A Pup Floating Up A River Whose Current Is Going The Opposite Direction, Doesn't That Seem A Little Weird To You. Plus He Has A Lot Of Small Cuts On His Body, Cuts That He Really Could Have Only Received From Being In A Fight" She Added.
"I Know Eve But It's The Truth" I Said To Her.
"All Right Winston I Have No Reason To Doubt You So I'll Believe You" She Said Back.
"Thanks Honey" I Replied. She Smiled And Licked My Cheek.
Humphrey's P.O.V.
'I Was Pretty Scared, Not Only Am I In A Place Which Prior To A Little While Ago I Didn't Even Know Existed But I Had No Idea How Far Away I Had Traveled From That Waterfall, How Far Away The Old Pack Grounds Were, Were Kings Pack Was, But I Also Had No Idea Were Luke, Elizabeth, Or My Emily Were. I Didn't Even Know How Much Time Had Passed Since I Jumped From That Cliff. All I Knew Now Was That I Was At Some Place Called Jasper Park Being Shown Around By A Wolf Named Kate.
"Hello... Humphrey" She Called.
"Huh What... Oh Sorry Kate I Got Lost In My Thoughts" I Replied.
"Really, What About" She Said.
"Umm... Old Memories" I Quickly Said. I Didn't Want Her To Know About My Apparent Role As Conrad Von Hotzendorf And Especially Now That I Already Had The Legendary King After Me And About Our Encounters.
"Oh Okay, I've Showed You All The Main Things In The Pack Area So Do You Want To Go Meet My Friends Now"? She Asked.
"Okay" I Simply Replied. We Walked For A Decent Distance Around The Lake Until We Came To A Small Rocky Outcrop Along The Shore Were There Were A Few Other Wolves Talking, Once They Saw Me Though Their Attention Was Diverted Instantly.
"Hey Guys This Is The New Wolf I Was Telling You Guys About" Kate Said. The Wolves Just Stared Wide-Eyed At Me, I Began To Think I Did Something Wrong And Began To Shrink To The Ground, Kate Must Have Noticed This.
"It's Okay Humphrey, They Just Haven't Met A Handsome Wolf Like You Before" She Said In An Effort To Peek Up My Confidence. Me And The Girls Were Surprised At Her Comment But Quickly Snapped Out Of It.
"Yeah Don't Worry You Didn't Do Anything Wrong, I'm Chelsea By The Way" Said A Black Female Wolf With Black Eyes.
"Yeah And I'm Sophie" Said A Light Brown Wolf With Brown Eyes. I Looked At The Last Two Wolves.
"I'm Claire" Said A Grey Wolf With Blue Eyes.
"I'm Lily" Said A Pure White Wolf With Purple Eyes.
"It's Nice To Meet You All, My Name Is Humphrey" I Replied.
"It's Nice To Meet You As Well Humphrey" Chelsea Said.
"Thank You Chelsea" I Said. I Didn't Know What Else To Say And Therefore Remained Silent Until Sophie Spoke Up.
"Have You Shown Him Around The Pack Kate?" She Asked.
"I've Shown Him The Main Area But Not The Hunting Grounds" She Replied.
"Well We Have To Show Him How Our Alphas Hunt, Especially Since He Looks Like He's Going To Be A Very Strong Alpha" She Added. I Was Taken Aback By Her Comment And Didn't Know What To Say.
"Do You Want To See The Hunting Grounds Humphrey?" Kate Asked Me.
"I Guess" I Replied Unsure.
"Great, Come On You're Going To Love What You See" Chelsea Said As She Dragged Me Away With The Girls In Tow.
Kate's P.O.V.
What Is Chelsea Doing, I Was Showing Humphrey Around And Then She Just Comes In And Steals Him From Me. Wait Why Am I Getting So Upset Over This. I've Never Felt Jealousy Like This About Any Other Guy Before So Why Now? You Know What, I Can Worry About This Later. Right Now I Have An Urge From Somewhere To Get Me And Humphrey Alone Again And That Is Exactly What I Am Going To Do.
Chelsea's P.O.V.
"Come On Humphrey, Come On! I Shouted Excitedly.
"Chelsea Slow Down I'm Right Behind You" He Shouted Back.
"But We Don't Have A Lot Of Time" I Replied.
"If We Don't Hurry Then We'll Miss It" I Added.
"Miss What?" He Asked As We Finally Came To The Edge Of A Cliff. The Girls Soon Ran Up To Us As Well.
"Don't Worry, We Didn't Miss It" I Said.
Humphrey's P.O.V.
Chelsea Then Pointed Toward A Few Caribou Grazing In A Small Clearing Below Us, Then She Pointed To A Group Of Wolves That Were Stalking Them. They Slowly Advanced Towards Them And Then They Separated Into Three Pairs Of Wolves. One Went To The Right Flank Of The Caribou, The Other To The Left, And The Last Began To Advance Silently Towards Them. Then They Stopped And Waited For The Other Two Groups To Get Into Position. Once That Had Been Accomplished The Wolves Charged Forward And Ambushed The Caribou, Each Pair Attacked A Specific Caribou So No Group Went After The Same Caribou Which Could Complicate Things. Soon All The Caribou Were Dead And The Wolves Congratulated Each Other, Then They Began To Drag The Dead Carbon Back.
"What Did You Think Of That Humphrey?" Chelsea Asked Me.
"It Was Ok" I Replied Plainly. Chelsea Looked Surprised And A Little Disappointed.
"Wh-What Do You Mean It Was Ok?" She Stuttered.
"Well For Starters The Plan Was Good But Those Wolves Shouldn't Have Just Blindly Charged In There Like That. Yes They Picked Their Targets In Advance But Some Unexpected Event Could Always Happen Like A Pair Of Wolves Crashing I Into Each Other Or Getting Trampled By A Panicked Caribou Leading To The Wolf Of Wolves Getting Injured Or Killed. Plus That One's Stalking Posture Was Off" I Said Pointing To A Dark Grey Wolf Helping Drag A Caribou Away.
"On Okay" Chelsea Replied Sadly.
"Are You Okay Chelsea?" I Asked.
"Yeah I'm Fine" She Replied Quickly.
"Hey Guys We Should Probably Head Back" Sophie Spoke Up.
"Why's That?" I Asked.
"Because We Promised Our Parents We Would Be Back For Lunch" She Answered.
"Gotcha" I Replied.
"Don't You Have Parents Humphrey?" Chelsea Asked. I Completely Froze Up As The Memories Of My Parents Deaths Came Flooding Back Into My Mind, The About The Packs Destruction, Then About King And Charlie, Then The Waterfall, And Then Luke, Elizabeth, And... Emily.
"It's A... Long Story" I Replied.
"What Do You Mean?" Kate Asked Me. I Still Didn't Know If I Should Tell Them About Me Being Conrad Von Hotzendorf.
"Let's Just Say That Theyre Not In This Pack" I Answered.
"Come On Lets Go Back" I Added. With That We All Began To Walk Back To The Main Pack Area.
