Kate opened her eyes a little, and saw that it was night time. She looked around and saw everyone is sleeping. She locked her eyes on Humphrey who was curling in a tight ball in the corner of the room. She smiled cutely, and continue to stare at him. Then, she felt very guilty at what she did at the Moonlight Howl. She even feel more guilty when she didn't told him about her situation.
"What kind of a friend am I" she asked herself with a soft quiet voice.
"Yeah, what kind of a friend are you" Carina whispered, almost making her elder sister scream.
"Carina" Kate panted.
"Sorry." Carina jumped on the bed, and laid down right next to her. "So do you mind telling me why you acting so mean towards Humphrey back at the moonlight howl?" Kate sighed and looked at Humphrey.
Now it is the time to tell her youngest sister on what's in her mind.
"I did that on purpose because I didn't want Garth thinking that I have feelings with an omega. I do love Humphrey. It's...It's just that I need to protect him. If I backed out, war will upon us and I can't imagine of Humphrey's death" she explained and Carina widened her eyes about Humphrey's death when war happened.
She can't handle the situation that they are in. She looked at Humphrey feared for the worst. Kate can tell she is scared as she is right now.
"I know this situation is tough, but I think it's better to protect who we love." Carina laid her ears flat before laying her head on the bed. Kate started stroking her head knowing that she is in the same position as she is right now.
"W-What" Roselyn asked with tears forming in her eyes. Both of the sisters looked at her. "Yo-You're telling em there's no other way...to avoid this situation."
Kate nodded her head, and Roselyn looked away from her. The truck stopped at the gas station, and Kate looked at the window. The human couple got out of the truck and went inside the building.
They heard whimpering, and it was coming from Humphrey who was widely awake. He had his legs crossed as if he is trying to hold onto something.
"What's wrong with you" Kate asked.
"I have to go" he said mentioning about going to the bathroom.
"You can't leave. Can't you hold it?"
"No I can't."
"Well, did you try crossing your legs."
"Yes, I already did that."
"Hold your breath?"
"YES! I almost pass out."
"Closing your eyes and-"
"In or out. I am going." Roselyn and Carina giggled by their actions. They almost act like a couple for a second there. They watched Humphrey opening the door before slowly walking away.
"Hurry up Humphrey" Kate requested.
"Hedadadada I can't go with the pressure weighing on my back" he replied.
"Go!" Humphrey wondered off and was about to lift his leg until he noticed the girls were looking at him. Humphrey motioned them to turn around and they did with a giggle. Humphrey wondered off again, but that's not the only reason why he need to go to the bathroom. It's because he was hungry. Humphrey sniffed the air, and smiled dreamily when he smelled something delicious.
He began following the sent, and it leads towards the trash can. He knocked it over, and saw a cupcake in a package. He licked his lips and immediately attacking the cupcake.
"What's he doing" Roselyn asked.
"I don't know" Carina replied.
"Humphrey" Kate called out. Humphrey ignored her and continue eating the cupcake. Before they can scream out after his name, a door opened up at the back of the building.
It was a human. He looked at the wolf that was right in front of him and gasped.
"Hey! We have a rabid wolf here. Get the gun quick" he yelled. Humphrey started backing up, and then a man walked out of the building with a shotgun in his hands.
"Alright, do you have any last words" he asked pointing the weapon at him. Humphrey widened his eyes and didn't know what to do. The only that he can do is piss himself and the humans looked at him weirdly.
Humphrey chuckled nervously, and the human with the shotgun load up the chamber. Humphrey looked at the girls in the truck and saw them moving away from him.
Kate, Carina, and Roselyn jumped out of the truck and tackled the man with the shotgun. He dropped it on the ground, Roselyn kicked it away, but it was soon stopped by the other man. He picked up the shotgun, and the wolves ran towards the fence.
"We're trapped" Kate gasped. They all turned around to face their deaths. The human handed the shotgun to his buddy, and he aimed at them.
"I got all four of them now" he said.
"SHOOT THEM!" And with that, he fired his gun, and busted the fence opened. Kate quickly ran out followed by her sisters and Humphrey.
"Way to go Max."
Kate finally reach on top of the hill and watched the truck driving down the road. She looked at Humphrey, and gave him a disappointing look. Humphrey looked away and Roselyn slowly stroking his back with her tail.
Kate started walking to the same direction that the truck was heading, and they followed her behind.
Humphrey slowly looked at Kate who was clearly upset. He knew that it was his fault.
"Kate, I'm sorry" he said, but she ignored him. Humphrey stopped walking and continue to stared at her. He looked down at the ground, trying to think hard to cheer her up. But nothing seems to cross is mind. He felt someone stroking his back, and it was Roselyn.
"Don't worry Humphrey. I'm pretty sure she'll be over with it. She's upset because she wanted to get home. That's all she wants. There's nothing to worry about Humphy" she explained softly. It made Humphrey smiled a little.
"Thanks" he said and then Roselyn kissed his cheek.
"No problem." Humphrey stared at her with blushing cheeks. This was the first time in his entire life that he got kissed by a girl that he loves so much right on the cheek. He wishes that it was on the lips. The feeling of her soft lips kissing his, and then the best part is when she nuzzled his nose. Humphrey can't wait when that happened.
"Come on ya goofball" Roselyn giggled and walked away. Humphrey shook his head and began following her.
Then, Carina ran back and slid into a stop.
"Guys, you gotta come with me quick" she said urgently before running back. Humphrey and Roselyn looked at each other before running after her.
As soon as they caught up to her, they saw Kate trying to climb her way up on a cliff's wall.
"What happened" Roselyn asked Carina immediately.
"Well there's nothing that we can cross over this ravine, so Kate slid down, and eventually find her way up until she didn't find any place where she can be safe!"
Hearing Carina rambling on what happened to Kate clicks Humphrey's mind. He looked around and saw a vine.
"I got an idea" said Humphrey smiling. Roselyn and Carina looked at him.
"What is it?"
"Get on my back, and hold on tight" he said. Roselyn got on his back followed by Carina. Humphrey then locked his eyes on the vines before running towards it. He jumped in the air and grabbed the vines, sending Roselyn and Carina across the ravine with a big swing. Humphrey swings back, and Kate was standing on a small but slippery rock.
"Kate, grab onto my tail" he mumbled.
"Grab your what" Kate asked him.
"Take those alpha jaws, and grab my OWWWWW MY TAIL! MY TAIL!" He didn't know alphas have such a strong bite. It almost made him let go of the vine. Kate jumped along with Humphrey, but it wasn't enough to get her to the other side.
"Kate wiggled around." Kate followed his request, and Humphrey chuckled as her tail tickled his nose.
"Oh I can't take it anymore" he whimpered before sending Kate to the other side. Kate screamed before landing on the ground safely. She looked back, and saw that Humphrey wasn't on the vine.
"Oh no" she said feared for the worst as she jumped down. She looked around and saw a mud pile with a tail sticking out.
"Oh my gosh. Humphrey?! Humphrey" Kate called out before grabbing on his tail and try to pull him out. Instead of pulling him out, she only pulled his tail off of him.
"Ahhh your tail. I'm so sorry" she said dropping it and laying down right next to it.
"My tail is fine" he said appearing right behind her. Kate screamed and immediately whip around to look at Humphrey. "Last time I check" he said with his tail waving at her. Kate looked behind her and saw it was just a log that was sticking out of the mud pile.
Kate giggled nervously, and the girls laughed. They saw the whole thing, and Humphrey was right behind her the whole time.
"Come on, let's get out of the rain" he suggested smiling.
"Okay." Kate and Humphrey both started walking towards the slope. Kate slowly looked at Humphrey and smiled. "Thank you." Humphrey smiled when he heard that. He began to walk ahead of Kate happily, and Kate stared at him lovely. They met with the others, and they entered the depths of the forest to find a den to sleep.
Winston was staring at the moon, and Hutch slowly approached him.
"Sir, we've searched all around the territory. Still no signs of Kate, Carina, Roselyn, and Humphrey" he said softly. Winston still staring at the moon, and his face expression started to get serious.
"We must defend our territory" said Winston. Hutch nodded his head and walked away to leave him alone.
The next day, Humphrey rolled around in the den when the sun rays hit his face. He slowly rolled to his side and eventually making contact by three object with his nose.
Humphrey slowly opened his eyes, and to his surprise; he was touching noses with Kate, Carina, and Roselyn. Humphrey smiled until he heard a familiar voice.
"FORE!" And with that, a rock hit all four of them on the head. They quickly stood up, and the girls opened their eyes and gasped. "Well well, what do we have here" Marcel asked peaking in.
"I say we caught them quite in a bad time" Paddy added with a smile on his face.
"No I say we caught them in a good time" Marcel replied. Kate walked past by Humphrey with her tail gently rolled over his snout. Humphrey stared at her dreamily.
"What are you doing here" Kate asked feeling exhausted.
"No the real question is what are you doing here? I gave you one ticket ride home and you blew it." Humphrey chuckled as he walked right beside Kate.
"Yeah...over a cupcake" he replied.
"Oh my god, cupcakes" he said.
"Is there any other way we can get home" Roselyn asked.
"What am I? A travel engine" Marcel asked.
"Yeah, you're a bird who goes everywhere so" Carina added.
"Well...there could be a train.."
"Yes, Canadian Express." Kate, Carina, and Roselyn smiled.
"Great, where do we head to" Kate asked. Paddy set the rock on the ground, and Marcel extended his golf club back before swinging it, and the rock was heading towards the mountain.
"Right over the mountain" said Paddy. The wolves looked at each other.
"Come on" Kate commanded, and they began following her.
