Sorry it took so long to get this chapter made. With the threat of getting Covid-19, I really got held up. But here it is, chapter eight of the story.
As the two alpha and omega families entered the Banff territory, Humphrey began to feel like there was something special about to happen. While he pondered these thoughts, King sniffed the air to see if there were any wolves around. Sure enough, there were some near by. But then it hit the older alpha, since Eve and him were starting to hook up, what would the two females who he had mated with think about that?
King hoped they would be alright with him getting back together with Eve.
"Hold it right there!" an alpha shouted, commanding their halt of movement. "Who are you all?" the alpha shouted as other wolves showed up.
King stepped forward. "I am King, the champion of this pack." he boasted with pride.
Surprised by this, the alpha looked over at his shoulder at his pack leader. "What do you want me to do, Rex?" he asked.
The gray alpha smiled as he sniffed the air. There was a wolf he was so wanting to see and he could not hold back the tears. Rex looked at his second in command and said, "Get everyone set up with a den, then have King and my son brought to my den."
The second in command nodded. "It will be done," he said then went over the hill to welcome the group. Rex then went off to get himself ready, but first he had to doing something very personal.
After a few minutes, Rex arrived at his destination. Looking down at the fresh plucked flowers, he let a few tears drop. "I know that being a pack leader is hard, but it's the only way I've been able to deal with all these feelings. It's just too hard to deal with this alone," Rex said, sniffling once in a while after the end of every sentence. "I know that you have been my angel watching me from above, keeping me safe. I know you want me to move on, but I'm having troubles. There's motivation, but I can't let you go. If you could just give me some kind of a sign from heaven that your okay with me moving on, that your ready to let me remarry. Than please do. I'll always love you. I'll replace the empty feeling in my soul with life, and my new love, Jenna," he said with a few more tears falling down his face. "I miss you Melody, and I wish I could put you back into this world, but a wolf can only dream. I'll see you in heaven someday soon." Then he walked away with his head low, stopped and smiled.
"Our son has returned and has a family of his own now." he said looking at the grave of his late wife and Rex went on his way. When Rex was far enough away, Hench who had been spying on him, came out of the bushes with a two of his wolves.
With a cruel smile, Hench walked up to the grave, lifted his leg and peed all over it. "Cain will have his revenge, then..." he hissed as the last few drops fell. "King will meet his end."
"Not yet he won't," Cain smiled as he appeared beside Hench. "Wait for three days, then when King has let his guard down, strike hard. Strike fast. Go for the throat and don't let go until his heart stops beating."
Not far off was Eve, she looked at the den she and King would be sharing. The beautiful golden alpha then felt the presence of an unearthly force. Turning Eve saw the spirit of the white wolf approach her. Able looked at her and she just looked back at him.
"Be ready for the dark wolf in three days," he warned, then faded away. Eve listened to his voice as it was carried by the wind. "Only love and team work will bring an end to my brother's revenge. Three days Eve! Remember… Three days!"
King and Humphrey slowly walked toward the pack leaders den. King was smiling, while the gray furred omega was having a min-panic attack. He was panting hard and looking rather sick to his stomach. Humphrey had no idea why the pack leader wanted to see him, but whatever the reason was, he just went on with King to meet this new wolf.
"So..." Humphrey gulped as he and King neared the den. "Does this alpha like omegas?" he asked.
King nodded. "Sure he does. Him and I had a good time with a pair of omegas, he is also getting married to one soon."
Humphrey froze and looked at King. The expression of shock and surprise was evident on the omega's face. Had he just heard King confess to having a love affair with an omega female of this pack. No! Humphrey tilted his head and leaned closer to the older alpha.
"Very funny, King," he laughed, thinking that King was playing a joke on him. But the look King gave him said otherwise. Humphrey stopped laughing. "You...had sex with an..." looking around, he finished his sentence. "Omega?"
"I did," King confessed with since of pride. "And also had some fun with her best friend who was an alpha."
By now Humphrey was very confused. He knew King had changed his ways, but to go as far as mating with an omega, that was something else.
"Let's just meet this friend of yours," Humphrey said as he walked on up to the den.
Inside, Rex sat quietly, eagerly awaiting see his son for the first time since losing him. His niece Elise sat next to him. Jenna however wanted to meet Humphrey after Rex and Elise had welcomed him in.
When Humphrey and King entered the den, the first thing that happened was Rex suddenly and without warning rushed to Humphrey. The young gray furred omega looked at the gray furred alpha with worry.
"Hello my son" Rex said as he opened his arms, then Humphrey knew who this wolf was. Memories of that fateful day played back in his mind. He could still hear his father shouting his name. And now, here he was. Reunited with his father after all these years of being apart. He stood there for a brief moment and let out a single tear as he jumped into his father's arm. His father released as Humphrey's young cousin Elise walked up to him. "Hello Humphrey, welcome to our pack," Elise let out a few tears as she and Humphrey hugged tightly. King watched in pure happiness as Humphrey was finally reunited with his blood family.
With a smile, Rex looked over at Jenna. "Oh Humphrey, there is someone here you have to meet, your soon to be step-mother." Jenna walked up to him. "Her name is Jenna." he said.
Humphrey released from Elise, his eyes widen, speechless, and unhappy. "What happened to mom?" he asked his father. Rex then realized that King nor Samuel had informed Humphrey about the passing of his mother by evil Cain.
"Well… I'll tell you." Rex sadly said
Looks like Hench is having to wait a bit longer before making his move. Now Able has gotten involved. Also, how will Humphrey deal with the news of the death of his mother? Find out next time.
