During that night after Humphrey and Kate howl at the moon together, Humphrey thought about what she said while walking to his den. When she said that he is a wolf but a dog, he can't help himself and stopped right next to a pond.

He stared at his reflection for a while and sighed. Kate was right about him. He is not a dog. Even though he looked like one, he still doesn't know how to act like a wolf. He doesn't even know what's it like to be one of them. Now that he thought of it, he remembered being called Henry when he was young, but he doesn't want to explain to his family why he liked being called Humphrey. The reason behind this is very simple. Every wild animal doesn't know what it feels like to be loved and protected by a human.

Humphrey sighed heavily as he stared at the water not knowing that his sister was walking up to him.

"He...Humphrey" she called almost calling his real name. "Are you okay?" She sat down right next to him before rubbing his back with her tail.

"Maybe" he sighed. Heather looked at the water and had no idea what he is staring at. She looked at his eyes on the reflection noticing that he was staring at it. She thought hard, but nothing came up, so she decided to ask him.

"Soo what's in your mind" she asked curiously. Humphrey slowly looked at her in the eyes and she was very curious.

He wished he can tell her what happened earlier. But he couldn't. He remembered what Kate said to him about hiding who he really is, and it will put the pack in danger.

"Oh nothing nothing. Just thought about uhhh...you know...the Moonlight Howl" he said avoiding his mind.

"Oh really? How was it" she asked smiling. When she said that, it made Humphrey smiled remembering Kate's howl and how much she appreciated about their moment, especially his howl. Kate can never stop talking about his howl, and wanted him to howl again for her. What he didn't know is that he had a huge smile plastered on his face which made Heather giggled for not realizing what's going on.

"Humphrey? Humphrey" she called his name, but he didn't respond.

Heather put her paw on his shoulder and shook him lightly. Humphrey broke his trance and stared at her. "Oh thank god you're back" she giggled smiling. "Now tell me what happened? It must be good."

Humphrey smiled and can't help himself.

"Alright. It was amazing. Me and Kate howl side by side at the lake near Moonlight Howl. She keeps telling me that I have a beautiful howl, but in reality; her's is even better than mine-"

"Wait you howled with Kate" Heather whispered loudly.

"Shhh. I don't know how will people reacted if you said that out loud" said Humphrey.

"Sorry" Heather apologized. "It's just that...it's just that we've heard a beautiful song from the Moonlight Howl." Humphrey widened his eyes when she said that. He had no idea that they heard them howl, and possibly him howling for Kate. What if they heard him trying to howl? Humphrey felt his entire body froze when that question zoomed into his mind. He started to get really nervous that one of them might follow them to where they are and saw that Kate was teaching him how to howl like a wolf. 'Wait a minute' he said in his mind.

He forgot one thing...

Kate forgot one thing...

They both do...

They forgot the time when Kate's parents and the others took Humphrey when they thought he was manipulated.

"Okay, what's in your mind? You've been unresponsive and staring off to an empty space for a few minutes" said Heather starting to get really curious.

"N-Nothing. I'm just...getting tired" he said feeling dizzy.

"But...you're not really tired. You just have something in your mind" she replied.

"No I really am. Anyways, let's get back to the den" he suggested as he walks away. Heather sighed and knew that it was pointless to ask him again. She began to followed him as they entered the forest, but she was walking slowly.

She looked up and saw Humphrey laid down at the front entrance before closing his eyes. Heather sighed again before entering the den before pressing her back against the den's wall.

She looked at Humphrey and had a feeling that he's awake. She shrugged her shoulder, shaking the thought out of him before going to sleep.


The next morning, Humphrey woke up early. He opened his eyes before yawning and stretching his back. He looked back at his family and noticing that Heather was the only one left in the den. He wondered where his parents or Michael could be. He shook his head side to side.

He wanted to focus on telling Kate about their promise. And with that, he stood up and head down towards the feeding ground. When he arrived, he saw a lot of wolves waiting patiently for their meal. He looked around and saw no signs of Kate. He was gonna walked around and find her until he saw her dragging a caribou over the hill along with the other wolves. While she was dragging, she tripped on a rock that was behind her and was about to land on her back, but Humphrey caught her. Kate looked behind her and saw Humphrey smiling up to her.

Kate smiled back before putting both of her front paws on the ground.

"Thank you Humphrey" she said smiling.

"No problem Kate. Do you need help" he asked her softly.

"Ye-"

"No, she don't need your help you little Omega" said a wolf cutting him off. Kate growled and walked up to his face

"Back off Kyle" Kate growled.

"What are you gonna do about it? I think it's cute to see you protecting your boyfriend right here, and I don't understand why you chose him instead of me" he said making Kate blushed a little bit, but she didn't let her guard down.

"What does that have to do with this? I'm just protecting him, and he's just asking nicely if we need help. He didn't do anything wrong to you" she said glaring at him.

"Maybe he did, but I'm not sure" he said smiling a little bit.

"Just back off" she growled, and he did as he walked away. She sighed before turning back at Humphrey. "Anyways, um we do need some help, but thanks to him. I don't think we need your help because I'm worried about you." Humphrey widened his eyes when she said that. It give him butterfly feelings in his stomach, and he kind of liked it.

"You sure" he asked her softly.

"Yeah..I'm sure, and don't worry. I'll keep an eye on that guy" she said glaring at him as he was dragging the caribou down the hill towards the feeding ground.

"Okay, but after you're done. We need to talk privately about something that is really important" he said sternly. Kate nodded her head before helping her group out. Humphrey followed her slowly as they set the caribou in the middle of the feeding ground. Humphrey waited for her as she walked up to him.

He stood up and lead Kate behind the bushes before sitting down right in front of her.

"So what do you want to talk about" asked Kate.

"Well...we forgot something that we didn't talk about."

"And what's that?"

"We forgot that your parents and the others are there at the camper when they found you."

"No we didn't Humphrey. Remember they thought you were manipulated by humans and what I told you not to tell about yourself" she giggled. Humphrey smacked himself in the head for not remembering that. He felt like an idiot right in front of Kate. "Humphrey it's okay. You're just worried about our promise, and I liked it." And with that, she walked up to him and licked his cheek with red cheeks. Humphrey stood there frozen. He had never thought of Kate licking his cheek before. Kate blushed heavily when she saw his reaction.

She was about to walked away, but Humphrey called out to her.

"Kate wait" he said stopping her. "I don't know how to act like a wolf." Kate giggled when he said that.

"Humphrey. You already act like a wolf" she giggled smiling.

"Well...there are ranks right? I just...I just don't know what rank am I."

"To me, you're an omega because you're actually good at thinking other ways to avoid wars and involving with people's love life in it. You might be the leader of the omegas. Their job is to have fun and break fights between wolves" Kate explained to him.

"Oh, and let me guess. Alphas do the hunts, patrol territory, and fight enemies?"

"Yep" she relied before let out a huge gasp.

"What" Humphrey asked as he titled his head to the side.

"Oh uhh nothing" said Kate smiling while blushing at the same time. She wanted to ask him to watch her hunt and impress him with all her hunting techniques. Especially the spin out. She's been practicing that move ever since she's a pup. Now, this is a perfect chance to impress him. "Hey Humphrey. Do you have anything to do tomorrow morning?"

"No, I got nothing to do to be honest."

"Oh great cause I wanna show you how I hunt" she said happily.

"Alright-"

"Yo, Humphrey. You gotta teach us sledding" said Salty running up to him.

"Well technically, it's more like log sledding" Shakey added as Mooch catch up to them.

"Yeah sure" he said agreeing with them before looking at Kate. "Soo. I'll see you tomorrow morning right?" Kate smiled and nodded her head. Humphrey smiled back before running off with his friends.

Kate sighed as she sat down on her haunches and dreamily stared at Humphrey. She had no idea how overwhelmed she is, and can't even wait to show her skills off tomorrow morning. She wonder how Humphrey will react. She can't really help herself as her mind started gathering all unique moves she can think of to impress him.

"I see Kate staring at her Humphrey" Sweets teased her as she walked up to her. Kate blinked her eyes several times before realizing what she just said.

"Sweets" she exclaimed blushing. Sweets and Candy started laughing as they nudged her softly.

"So, how's the Moonlight howl with him" Candy asked.

"W-What? How did you know?"

"Kate don't be stupid. We saw you rejecting other males, but only accept Humphrey because you were waiting for him" Sweets explained to her.

"Yeah. Besides, most wolves consider him as an omega since he hasn't have an official rank yet. Is your dad working on it " Candy asked.

"Well...no not really, but he's getting his attention."

"Good. I think he will give his blessings to him, so he can marry you" Sweets teased her.

"W-What? There's no way..." Kate stuttered while blushing.

"Oh yes there is Kate. You probably knew about it and wanted to impress him with your alpha skills, so he will see the power of your strength when you're having fun with him" Candy added and they both started laughing in tears, making Kate blushed harder than ever.

"You guys suck" she said walking away. Sweets and Candy continue to laugh at her.
