The sun rises up from the sky over the mountains, and Humphrey kept moving around in his spot. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the sunlight hitting inside of the den. Humphrey had never been so tired in his life. This bed is not as comfortable as his at home or in the camper, but it's a lot much better than sleeping on rough ground.
He tried to stretch his arms out and heard tons of cracking.
"Ow. I really need a better bed" he said softly feeling his tight back. He slowly rolled onto his belly and yawned like a puppy before stretching his back. He looked around and saw Kate still sleeping right next to him. He saw the sunlight hitting her eyelids and she yawned before standing up and touching her nose with Humphrey's...again.
Humphrey quickly remove himself away from that situation and start scratching his chest like nothing happened. Kate rubbed both of her eyes until a voice spoke out.
"Well well well look do we have here."
Both of them looked outside the den and saw the goose and the duck. Kate blinked her eyes several times and realized who they are.
"Marcel. Paddy" Kate smiled and ran over to them, so she can hug them.
"It's nice to see you in Jasper Kate right Paddy" said Marcel.
"Oh well yes, but I'm English and we don't HUG" he quacked. "But for a first, I say that was good." Humphrey looked over Kate's shoulders before walking up to them.
"Who are these guys" he asked her. Marcel and Paddy looked at him before recognizing that he was wearing a collar.
"IT'S A DOG" Marcel screamed.
"Which means there's a monster nearby" Paddy added on. They both start to scream and ran around in circles.
"Guys guys" Kate shouted trying to get their attention, but they ignore her. Kate growled at them loudly. She is getting extremely tired of everyone ignoring her. First, its her hunting group. Second, its her parents, and now the birds who were helping her to get home. The birds stopped panic when they heard her growled.
"You guys...(breathe) need to chill out before I lose my mind." Humphrey just sat there and had no idea whats going on. Being out here especially when a wolf talking to their prey is weird.
"Okay, but shouldn't he be with them" Paddy questioned.
"Yeah but...things get complicated" she said scratching the back of her head.
"What do you mean Miss fast" Marcel asked her.
"Well...my family thought that he was manipulated, so they think it's the best idea to take him. Next thing you know, I was in a mudslide and he saved me from it, and here we are" Kate explained.
"Wow...that was uhhh...an interesting story" Paddy replied.
"Yeah I know but anyways. Humphrey, Paddy and Marcel."
"Hi" Humphrey greeted them happily waving at them
"Uhhh hi" they both greeted him back waving back a little.
"Alright well. We better get going" Kate suggested.
"Okay, we'll be around this area. Goodbye" Paddy replied and with that, they flew away.
"Well that was interesting" said Humphrey. "Making friends with your prey. I didn't expect that." Kate giggled and start walking to the direction where they left off. Humphrey instantly got worried realizing where he is now. "Wait Kate" he said running after her. Kate stopped walking and wait for Humphrey to catch up. "What about me? I need to get back Kate" he said worriedly.
"Well, I don't know Humphrey. We might need to go back and ask my parents about it. But first, we need to get rid of that collar" she said nipping on it.
"H-How did you know what it is" he asked nervously while blushing on what she is doing.
"My teacher told me" she said smiling a little before she struggled to get the collar out.
"Why are you taking it off?"
"Because it has human scent. So if my pack start to smell it, they will literally freak out" she said tugging it.
"Well then, try and uncouple it from behind." Kate walked behind him, and Humphrey sat down. The process of getting it off is too hard. She had to lift a leash up to get the metal part out before sliding it out.
"Okay there we go" she said unwrapping it before she got in front of Humphrey's face. They both froze at the sight of each other. The collar slowly slides out of her mouth as she stared at Humphrey. Unfortunately, the sounds of the collar when it makes contact to the ground interrupted their gaze. Kate shook her head a little before staring at Humphrey a little. "I think we should...get going..." she said nervously as she walks away.
Humphrey followed her as they travel to the other side of the mountain where they left off. It took twenty five minutes to get to the mountain side and Humphrey followed Kate closely behind as he scanned around the area. He had no idea what is out here.
"Are we there yet" he asked her.
"Hmm we're close, so maybe ten minutes or so" she replied.
"Okay good let's get going" he quickly said. Kate giggled and they both continue to walk.
When they arrived to a place that Kate was familiar of, Kate had a huge smile plastered on her face as she recognized the trees, and the terrain area. She is home for now. Kate sighed happily as she enter the border and start running to the center of the territory. Humphrey ran after her and yelled "Kate slow down!"
Kate widened her eyes and completely forgot about him.
"Oops sorry Humphrey" she apologized slowing down her pace. Humphrey sighed as he walked beside her. He then looked around and notice how beautiful it is.
"Wow. You guys really pick the best spot to call this place a home."
"I know right" she said smiling. After two or three minutes, Kate and Humphrey walked through the bushes revealing multiple wolves gathering around in the feeding grounds.
Everyone stopped what they're doing and looked at Kate before realizing that she's back.
"She's back" someone shouted and they start gathering right in front of her. Humphrey steps back a little make a little more room for her. Kate smiled as they start to greet her happily, telling her welcome back. Kate smiled and saw her friends ran through the crowds and tackle her to the ground. Kate laughed as they start licking her and hugging her happily.
"Oh Kate" Eve came through the crowd and smiled with tears of joy. Kate's friends move out of her way and watched them as she hugs her daughter. "I'm so happy to see you home."
Humphrey smiled to see their big reunion. He was about to give her space until a voice called out to him.
"S-Son?" Humphrey turned around and saw a couple. One male looks exactly like him, and the female had her eyes. She had tears in her eyes, and she couldn't hold her happiness. She starts running towards him, tackled him down and start licking his face.
"Oh my god I can't believe it's you" she cried on his chest. Humphrey was really confused by this.
"It's good to see you Henry."
"H-Henry" Humphrey asked. He quickly got out from the female's grasp and looked at them weirdly. "Um my name is Humphrey, not Henry and who the heck are you guys?!" Kate and Eve looked at them. Kate was also confused by this, but Eve on the other hand had a huge smile on her face.
"What is going on" Kate asked.
"Oh, it's a long long time reunion Kate" she replied to her.
"Um...no we named you Henry" the male claimed.
"No, it's Humphrey."
"Henry."
"It's Humphrey! Both of you didn't answer my question. Who are you guys?"
"We're your parents. You don't remember?"
