As the sun rises up from the mountain tops, Kate slowly opened her eyes before blinking it twice to regain her vision. It was early in the morning, and it's normal for alphas to wake up before everyone else do.

Kate rolled onto her stomach and yawned before looking around the den. Lilly was at her new den with Garth in the tall grass, which is really unusual spot for any wolves to choose.

She probably gonna bet that her friends will talk about why they choose that spot for a "specific" reason. She looked at her parents and noticed that her father starting to wake up. He then stood up before turning to Kate who is widely awake.

"Oh Kate" he said before chuckling. "You woke up earlier than I did."

"Yeah, and I'm ready for my duties" she said smiling. Winston chuckled at Kate's enthusiasm. She always wanting to act like an alpha ever since she's a pup. She also reminded him of himself when he was a pup wanting to become an alpha.

"Well let's see. Your duties are tracking down the caribou, checking the boarders, survival class for the pups, and after that; you are done with your duties and have free time" he informed.

"Wait survival class" Kate asked.

"Yeah, I know it's your first time, but I want you to share your knowledge to them. That duty is very important for you when you have pups" he said smiling. Kate blushed a little when she thought about having pups. Especially when Humphrey. Kate then widened her eyes on what she was thinking and quickly shook her head to snap her train of thoughts.

"Well, better get going if you don't wanna be late" he said smiling.

"Oh. Yeah. Bye dad. Love you" she said walking out of the den.

"Bye Kate" he replied to her. Kate trotted down the slope with a smile on her face. She looked at the tree lines that leads to Humphrey's den, and sighed. She wished he can wake up early as she does.

She already missed his presence, his smile, his voice, and his beautiful eyes. Literally she misses everything about him. Kate sighed before walking up to her hunting group, realizing that Kyle wasn't there.

"Where's Kyle" she asked one of her hunting group members.

"We don't know. I went to his den and he's not even there" said one of them. Kate looked at the ground. She got a feeling that something isn't right, but it was just her thinking that way.

"Well, if he doesn't show up. Then, he will probably get in trouble. Anyways, let's track the caribous down" she commanded before leading them down the hill.


After a few hours until noon, Humphrey was walking up the hill with his friends, Salty, Shakey, and Mooch. They're planning to go log sledding, and Humphrey found the best spot to do that. Ever since Humphrey showed them about log sledding, they really got addicted to it.

They first think that this was really dangerous, but when they go down the hill, it is so much fun. But, the problem is that they don't know how to turn or do tricks, which is why they are going right now.

Humphrey is going to teach them how to do that. He knew that they are not ready for the tricks until they learn the basics. Humphrey looked at the ground, and wished it was snowing. If it was, Humphrey will show them the euro carve. It will be much better if they went to a ski resorts.

"Man I can't wait to see where Humphrey is taking us" Shakey exclaimed.

"Yeah same here bud" Salty added.

"We better hurry up. I'm hungry for excitement" said Mooch. Humphrey smiled while hearing his friends getting excited for log sledding. He was glad that he shared his passion with his new friends.

"Oh don't worry guys. You'll see" Humphrey replied to them as his tail started wagging. When he found a perfect spot for them to log sled, he knew it will be a great mountain to sled down.

After several minutes of walking up the slope and to the top of the location, Humphrey smiled as he looked at the other mountains, lakes and rivers. He then looked down, and saw a flat slope with a rock sticking out of it. He widened his smile when he saw that. Humphrey wanted to see their reaction when they hit the ramp and fly through the air.

"Wow, this looks awesome" said Salty.

"We should go and find a log. I wanna test this out" Shakey screamed.

"No worries guys" said Humphrey walking to a nearby bushes. He dipped his head into it before pulling out a hollow log through the bushes. "I've already got it right here."

'Oh nice Humphrey" said Salty as they were about to climb in, but Humphrey put one of his paw in the air; giving them a signal to stop what they're doing.

"Before you guys jumped in, I want to say a few things" he started. "Right now, I'm going to teach you some basic things, and it will made this ride a lot more fun than last time." This made them excited. Their tail started to wag like crazy, and Shakey was shivering in excitement. He can barely control himself from howling in joy.

"Well first off. I'm going to sit at the front of the sled as usual. Your first lesson is turning the sled to different directions. We can either go for a sloped rock for us to launch ourselves high in the air or go crazy with the tuns" Humphrey explained.

"But wait, how can we turn the log or sled to different directions" asked Salty.

"Oh it's pretty easy. All you have to do is lean your body to the right or left whenever I say so" he replied. The trio omegas looked at each other before nodding their head. Humphrey sat up front of the log, Salty sat right behind him, followed by Shakey and then Mooch.

"Alright, let's go" Humphrey commanded as they stepped out of the log a little bit. They plant their hind paw on the ground and started pushing the log towards the edge.

"AIRWOLF" they screamed as the log tipped and slide down the hill. Shakey howled in joy as Humphrey grabbed both sides of the log. Humphrey glared down the hill to see any incoming obstacles.

"Lean right" he said, and they all did with both of their paws on the side of the log. "Go left." They leaned to the left as the log swiftly around the trees, and Humphrey was aiming at the rock.

"Wow you guys nailed it on the first try" he said looking back at them.

"Oh we're fast learners" said Salty feeling proud of himself. They zoomed down the hill, making Humphrey smiled as they getting closer to the rock. The trio omegas looked over Humphrey's shoulders and realized that they were heading straight towards the rock.

"Uhhh Humphrey, do you know that there's a rock straight ahead right" Mooch asked him.

"Yeah what about it" he said still smiling.

"We're gonna die" Shakey screamed.

"No we're not" Humphrey replied. The three omegas hold onto each other as they closed their eyes and waited for their death. "You guys better hold on cause we're about to fly" Humphrey screamed, and they immediately hold onto the log. Then, they hit the rock and they went flying. Humphrey howled as he extended his arms to the side, feeling the wind going through his fur. The log started to slowly spin in 180 degrees. They slowly flew down towards the ground and landed on the ground.

Humphrey smiled as he stepped out, plant his right rear paw on the ground making the log whipped around.

"So guys, how was it" Humphrey asked them without looking back.

"Dude...that...was...AWESOME" Salty exclaimed.

"Heck yeah it was" Mooch added and Shakey nodded his head rapidly.

They continue to sled down the mountain, going left and right, flying from a flat rock, and finally stop at the bottom of the mountain. The omegas jumped off the log and started to give each other high fives. After a while, they went back to the feeding grounds to have a feast.

Humphrey looked around and noticed that Kate wasn't here. She always hang out with him whenever she is done with her duties.

Humphrey began to wonder if her father extended her duties. It's either he wanted to keep her busy or taking over someone's job. Humphrey looked down at his food and was about to dig in until someone came running right in front of him. Humphrey looked up and saw the blackish gray alpha wolf running up to Winston who was standing at the top of the slope next to his den.

"Winston" he said getting his attention.

"What is it" Winston asked him realizing that something bad happened. He was panting from running so fast and had a little bit of fear in his eyes. Humphrey got really curious. He started walking towards them to listen their conversation for a little bit.

"Kate is missing" he then said making Winston widened his eyes.

"WHAT" he yelled getting the whole pack's attention. Humphrey gasped and immediately looked around hoping that he was joking, but he was not. "How" Winston questioned.

"She was taken by a group of unknown wolves, but I recognized one of them from the scents at the southern territory" he replied.

"Who was it?"

"It was Kyle sir."
