A loud distress howl pierce through the forest like a mad locomotive whistle. It echoed throughout the forest, scaring critters as they dug into their den deeper. Kate looked at the direction where the howl is coming from before widening her eyes. It was coming from the southern border. Kate then ran towards the howl, leaving Humphrey behind.

"W-Wait Kate" he yelled before running after her. Kate was running as fast as she could. Her heart started jumping up and down in her chest along with the fur at the back of her neck sticking up in the air. Something's bad is happening, and she can feel it. She can feel the terror in that howl. She hoped it wasn't one of her pack mates, and she hoped that it wasn't the humans attacking them. Humphrey was barely catching up to her. He had never seen her run this fast before. Not even in her hunt when Kate was showing off her moves to Humphrey.

While she was running, she then saw 6 wolves running towards the feeding ground with someone on their back. Kate recognized it was Hutch carrying the wolf on his back. From the look of the wolf, it appears to be a female with light black fur with silver streaks. She looked carefully and saw her leg bleeding heavily.

She ran after them, but then she slowed down when she realized that Humphrey was not with her.

She then turned around to see Humphrey running towards her as fast as he could. He had his eyes closed with his mouth opened, panting really hard from running so fast.

Humphrey opened his eyes to see her waiting for him, so he slowed down and took his time to catch up his breath.

Kate pinned her ears against her head. She felt bad for leaving him behind in the dust. Humphrey was not capable of running fast or being athletic as an alpha. She waited patiently for him until she heard him stop panting.

"I'm sorry for leaving you behind Humphrey" Kate apologized to him.

"No, it's fine Kate. I completely understand, but let's go see what's going on" he replied. Kate nodded their head, and they walked towards the feeding ground.

"So, do you have any idea who that wolf is on Hutch's back" Humphrey asked Kate.

"I don't know, but from the looks of it. She has a bleeding leg from something else, and it looks bad." Humphrey turned his gaze forward and decided to stop asking questions. This is very important to both of them. Whoever is this wolf is in trouble, and she needs help fast.

When they arrived, there was a huge crowd from the Western and the Eastern pack. Kate peaked over everyone's shoulders, and saw Brittney rapidly firing at Winston with explanation. She then realized it was her who howled. Kate had never ever heard her howl is terrified before. She looked down and saw her mother, Eve, was working fast on putting the leaves on the crimson leg. Humphrey also peaked over their shoulders and stared at the unknown female wolf. Then, he smelled a familiar smell coming from the female's injured leg. He recognized this smell, and it was coming from her injured leg.

He knew that no one recognized this smell because it was coming from the trail inside her leg from the entry to the exit wound. He was pretty sure that every dog would recognize this smell. The smell of gunpowder.

Eve put her head against her chest, and sighed before lifting her head back up.

"She's not breathing" she claimed.

"I think I can help you out Eve" Humphrey suddenly said from the crowd. Kate tilted her head when he said that. She raised one of her eyebrows with a smile plastered on her face. This is one of her favorite things about Humphrey.

She knew he had something clever in his mind. Eve stepped aside, knowing that Humphrey had strange ideas in his head. Humphrey carefully walked up to the unconscious female. He then carefully looked at her body and noticed her drenched fur, which gives him a clue that she was drowned before. He moved her head in a tilted position and watched as her mouth began to slightly open up.

He put both of his paws on her chest and began pressing on it and releasing the pressure. Everyone in the pack carefully watches Humphrey.

"Wait, Humphrey what are you doing" Eve asked him curiously.

"It's called CPR where you put compression on the unconscious wolf to the point where you can save them from death. Sometimes you might give them mouth to mouth, so you can share your breath with them" he explained. Kate gasped loudly. Everyone looked at her strangely. Kate had her mouth open as wide as a Basking shark with pure white eyes. Her left eye twitches every second. In her mind, she was screaming louder than anything in this world.

She was so shocked to hear Humphrey's explanation when he said mouth to mouth. In other words, the kiss of life. She mentally screamed at Humphrey, constantly telling him not to kiss her.

Of course, Humphrey is not going to do that. He knew that this female wolf had water in her lungs, and he needed to get it out quickly. He continued doing CPR for a few minutes until he felt a strong pressure on her chest. Her chest jerked away from the ground, and the female wolf started puking out water before coughing from it.

The female wolf opened her dark sapphire eyes, and began scanning the area. She then got into a crouch position and started to growl everyone else.

When she did, she yelped and fell onto the ground after feeling a very strong pain in her right leg. She turned her gaze and saw how badly her leg looked. Eve slowly approached her before sitting down next to her, so she doesn't feel threatened.

The she-wolf quickly averted her injured leg, and slowly scooted herself away from Eve.

"Wh-Who are you" she asked her fearfully.

"My name is Eve, and this is the Western Pack. What happened" Eve responded. The female turned her gaze towards the ground, holding the tears in her eyes. Humphrey already knew what she was going to say. She was attacked by hunters. He knew that her leg, possibly her Tibia, is shattered to pieces, leaving her very vulnerable. If it was aimed at her ankle, it would amputate her foot. These bullets are no joke. They are capable of piercing through anything, whether you're an Armadillo or a Turtle.

"I...*sigh* my name is Emily...and I..."


In the middle of the woods, Emily was walking with a dark brown furred male wolf with hazel and yellow mixed eyes. His name is Jack. He was relocated to Jasper park along with his sister two weeks ago. He met Emily who was an alpha from the Southern Pack Emily has a little crush on Jack. He is an extremely handsome wolf.

She didn't know anything about him very much due to her shyness around him. But today was the day where she got to know him.

They were walking down the path, laughing, and talking about their stories. It was mostly about him. Emily didn't have any other stories considering that she spent most of her time out here. Much more like a lone wolf type of thing. She doesn't spend much time around other wolves in the feeding grounds.

While they were walking, they began to smell blood out in the distance. It was coming from Emily's den where she let Jack and his sister sleep. Jack thought that his sister was grabbing the food from the feeding grounds and was waiting on them.

They continue walking towards the den without knowing the footsteps right next to them. As soon as they got closer, they heard talking behind the bushes near the den.

"Dude. Nice shot man" one of them said. Based on its voice, it sounds like a male.

"Thanks man. Looks like we're going to have a feast tonight" said the other. Jack looked at Emily who shrugged her shoulders. They both walked out of the bushes at the same time and gasped loudly.

There, standing in front of the den were two tall tailless figures with trees, bushes, and leaves in their skins. One of them holds a familiar object that Jack and Emily recognized too well, and the other holds a crescent shaped object with two circular things on the end. Jack looked between both figures and saw his sister laying right in front of them with blood heavily dripping from a skinny object that is poking out of her chest.

Both wolves know them too well. The one that is known to be the greatest predator in history. The Monsters.

Jack couldn't hold in his emotions. His lips quivered madly along with his rapidly stuttering voice. Within seconds, Jack screamed fearfully. He was horrified to see his sister brutally killed in front of him. He screamed so loud that it scared every animal in his surroundings...except them.

They turned their heads around, revealing the most terrifying feature that they had never seen before. One of them had bright smokey green snail-like eyes with no mouth. Just branches, and leaves skin on his lower part of his face. The other had a hooded head like a Cobra along with the same feature mouth part, but he had huge pitch black eyes.

When the hooded figure looked at the wolves, his eyes suddenly turned bright smokey red eyes. The green eyed figure slides his left hand back and forth on the object with a loud click. A red object falls from the other object he was holding before he pointed at them.

"RUN" Emily yelled. They both hauled their life as fast as they could. But it was too late for one of them. There was a loud sound that rivals the Thunder in the sky.

Emily then felt a strong pain on her right leg. She fell onto the ground with blood spilling all over the places while screaming in pain. Lucky for her, Jack came to her side with a long leaf in his mouth. He quickly put it on her right leg before applying with sticky orange liquids.

"GO-GO" he shouted at her. Emily wasted no time, and began running with three legs. Jack ran right behind her. He can hear footsteps coming straight towards them in the distance. Jack kept his eyes forward, making sure Emily was okay even though she was not. It's far more important to run for their lives rather than stopping and fixing Emily's wounded leg. They ran for minutes without stopping. Emily already knew that the monsters are still on them. At first, she didn't believe any stories about them being the ultimate predator considering that they look weak with no protection, and no signs of claws and stuff. Especially when she hears that it's like a curse when you get attacked by them and manage to survive. But now, NOW: she's starting to believe it.

However, her wounded leg started to slow her down very fast. She felt like her leg was about to come off, and her bones were grinding on each other every time she ran.

"Come on Emily" said Jack, panting heavily

"I-I can't go any further. This is THE most painful injury I've ever had" she whined painfully.

"We have to keep moving. Otherwise we'll be dead by now." Emily sighed, and continue running while whimpering at the same time. She felt her leg was very numb, and she didn't realized that she was leaving a bloody trail behind her back. Jack also didn't even noticed it until now.

There was an exit wound on her inner thigh. He sighed, knowing that this will slow them down, but it's worth it to keep her alive.

"Wait stop" he said, and Emily did so before turning her head to look at him in confusion.

"But I thought we were-"

"Lay on your back."

"W-Wait what" she asked him with blushing cheeks.

"I said lay on your back. You have another wound that we both didn't even notice it till now." Emily looked down, and Jack was right. The exit wound was just as bad as the entry wound. Emily followed his order with no hesitation. Luckily for both of them, there was a group of leafs next to them, and a tree sap dripping from the body.

Jack quickly grabbed both of them and began applying onto her thigh. Emily blushed heavily. Jack was so close to her private region, and it feels like he's teasing her.

"Alright, all done" he said, and Emily stood up on her good three legs.

"Thanks" she replied, smiling at him.

"No problem." Then, they heard something snapped. Both of them turned their head behind them, and saw two bright glowing eyes in the dark. Right after they saw them, they quickly zoomed off down the path.

Unfortunately for them...they didn't have time to catch their breath.

The monsters ran after them, making them a lot faster when Jack looked at them. His eyes widened, knowing that it's over for both of them. Emily ran out of the bushes, but soon skidded across the ground to stop herself fully.

In front of her was a huge cliff along with a waterfall right beside her. She was about to turn around and hauled ass, but when she did; the first thing she saw was a silver cone shape pointing at her. Emily froze at the sight of it. She widened her eyes as the object sparkles in the moonlight.

"EMILY" Jack screamed at her. Emily didn't move. She was too terrified in order to do so.

Jack ran towards her. He looked at the monsters and noticed two of them were aiming something at her, and it's going to be bad. He had no choice, but to risk his own life for her. If the monsters want something to kill, then they will, and it's going to be one wolf. He looked down the cliff and saw a huge river bigger than the width of the waterfall.

Jack jumped and pushed her off the cliff. Emily blinked her eyes during the process. She turn her gaze at Jack and watched him in slow motion. She heard whistling sound coming from the monsters.

Within seconds, the same cone shape object pierce through his stomach. Emily screamed out his name while falling towards the river. As soon as she was half way down the cliff, the last thing she saw before hitting the surface was the monsters killing him off with a loud BANG and blood splattered heavily into the night sky.


Everyone was shocked to hear her story, except Humphrey. When she was describing the "monsters," he knew who they were up against. These two people are no ordinary hunters. They are hardcore hunters who hunts at the start of twilight to dawn. They can either set up traps for animals before going off to the wilderness to chase them down or kill them off in the spotlight. Trappers don't act like this. They usually set up a trap and check it on the next day, and they don't own the equipment that Emily was describing. Not even hunters

There's no doubt that one of them is wearing Night-vision goggles. It's the same equipment that Humphrey saw in his nightmare. Now, the other hunter...

He had no idea what he was wearing for his vision. The only thing that he knows is the fact that the hunter is carrying a compound bow and wore a camo hoodie. If Kiana was here, she would've immediately shouted its name out.

Winston suddenly collapsed onto his stomach after hearing the story, making everyone concerned about him.

"Dad are you okay" Kate asked, rushing to his side along with Lilly. Winston couldn't even move. He was scared stiff. When he heard the descriptions about them, especially their eyes, and that hooded figure, the first thing he thought of was something that would scare everyone else.

"What's going on" Tony asked as he joined the conversation along with his pack.

Winston slowly stood up with the help of both of his daughters before turning his head towards him. Everyone in the pack widened their eyes to see the terror in their pack leader's eyes.

"Tony...we have a problem" he said.

"Okay, what is it" he asked before looking at Emily.

"We...are facing up against...the Alpha Monsters" he finished his sentence. Humphrey wanted to smack himself in the face. He really wanted to tell them that there are no such rankings in human nature that they have. But now that is not the right time for that. Humphrey's nightmare is starting to become reality if they find where they are.

However, if they do. He needs to think of a plan to save himself and the pack, and there's going to be a slight chance that they will survive. Kate slowly walked up to him. She nudged him softly, getting his attention from her.

"Humphrey? Do you have any idea what they are" she asked him.

"Yeah I do. The human who has green eyes is wearing a Night-Vision goggles where they can see in the dark. The other one, I don't know because all I care about is what vision does he have" he explained. It's very obvious what kind of weapons that they use. He rather cared about what kind of equipment that they use that gives them the advantage.

"What are we going to do Humphrey" Kate asked him worriedly.

"If only my friends are here" he said.

"No worries Humphrey."

Cliffhanger lol. I'm probably gonna go ahead and start chapter 19 after this then I'll go ahead and write a chapter for Five Alphas, One Omega. Whenever there is a good chapter in your mind, you have to write it. So don't worry, Five Alphas, One omega will be updated soon. And I am more curious the hooded hunter's equipment :)
What did you guys think? What will happen next? I'm TheRavenMocker. Be a raven, mock the ravens. We'll see you guys on the next flight.
