Chapter 4 - Humphrey's Return
Humphrey's POV
"H-Humphrey?", Kate asked in shock, as she slowly stepped closer to me, "is that you?".
"Long time no see?", I said, jokingly.
Kate squealed and pounced on me, "oh, Kate, Kate, really?", I asked, as she covered my face in her saliva. Kate stopped licking my face and smiled at me, "I missed you so much, Humphrey", she said.
I smiled, "I missed you too, Kate", I replied, "not a day had gone by that I didn't think of you".
"Umm, Aunt Kate?", a voice asked, "who's this?".
Kate got off of me and I saw a young she-wolf that looked exactly like Lilly, except with green eyes. "This is your Uncle Humphrey", Kate said.
"Uncle Humphrey?", I asked.
"Yeah", Kate answered, "Angel here is Lilly and Garth's daughter".
I stood back up onto my paws, "nice to meet you, Angel", I said, holding out my paw to her.
Angel grabbed my paw with her own and shook it, "nice to meet you too", she said, "Aunt Kate has told me a lot about you".
I raised an eyebrow at Kate and she lightly chuckled, "oh, I'm sure my parents would like to talk to you", Angel said.
"I'm sure they would too", I replied, "what with being the Pack Leaders and all".
"Then let's go!", Angel exclaimed, then she started to run off, but I caught her attention by clearing my throat. Kate looked at me strangely, "what is it, Humphrey?", she asked.
"I didn't return alone", I said, then I turned towards the bushes behind me, "you can come out".
I heard rustling in the bushes behind me and Skye entered the clearing, "who's this?", Kate asked, looking a little hurt about something.
"Her name's Skye", I answered, "I found her while I was trying to find my way back and she decided to come with me".
"She just...decided to come with you?", Kate asked, skeptically.
"I had a troubling past", Skye said, "Humphrey here offered to bring me with him to escape it".
Kate turned towards me, "that true?", she asked.
I nodded, "I had hoped that Lilly and Garth would find a place in the pack for her", I said.
Kate turned back towards Skye, "you're a bit small for a wolf", she said, "what can you do?".
"First off, I'm not a wolf", Skye explained, "I'm a siberian husky dog breed and I can hold my own in a fight".
Kate squinted her eyes at her, I knew she was trying to detect a lie from her, "alright, Skye", she said, after a few seconds of staring, "my niece here will take you to my sister and she will find a spot for you".
Skye put on a smile, "thank you, Kate", she replied.
"Don't get your hopes up though", Kate said quickly, then she turned to Angel and told her to take Skye to Lilly and Garth. Once they left, Kate looked back towards me, "I think my parents would like to know that you're back, Humphrey", she said.
I gulped, making Kate chuckle, "don't worry, Humphrey", she said, "my mother's not going to kill you".
"You sure?", I asked, "...because the last time I returned from being relocated, she tried to choke me to death".
"I'll protect you, Humphrey", Kate said, "now, come on".
Kate led me into the territory and we quickly came up to Winston and Eve's den, "hey, Mom?", Kate called into the den, "Dad?".
"What is it?", Eve called out from inside, "we're kind of busy right now".
'Right, mating season', I thought to myself, 'Kate must be in heat as well'.
"I found someone that you should meet", Kate called back. We heard movements inside the den and shortly after, Winston and Eve came out, "who?", Eve asked.
Kate pointed at me, then Eve turned her head towards me and widened her eyes, "you?", she asked.
"Hi, Eve", I said, nervously, "I'm back".
Eve smiled, which threw me off-guard, then approached me. I closed my eyes, expecting her to pounce on me and potentially kill me, but instead I felt her wrap her arms around me and pull me into a hug. I hesitantly opened my eyes and saw Kate and Winston with their jaws dropped, then Eve pulled away from me, "welcome home, Humphrey", she said.
"I-I thought you were going to kill me", I said.
Eve chuckled, "now why would I kill my favorite son-in-law?", she asked.
"Favorite son-in-law?", I asked, "what about Garth?".
Eve leaned towards my ear, "Don't tell Garth...", she whispered, "...but I've always liked you better".
I smiled, "thanks, Eve", I replied, then I looked towards Kate, "is our den still ours, or did you give it to someone else?".
Kate shook her head, "it's still ours", she said, then got a mischievous smile and slowly walked by me, brushing her tail under my chin. "I'll be waiting for you there, Humphrey", she said, playfully, "my handsome Omega".
'Yup', I thought to myself, 'she's definitely in heat'.
Kate went off towards our den, while shaking her hips slightly, and Winston and Eve stared at me, "what?", I asked.
"Go after her", Eve said, "she wants your attention".
"You're giving me permission...to mate with your daughter?", I asked.
"Well, Kate's grown up now", Eve said, "she can make her own decisions".
I stared at them quizzically, "oh, get going, Humphrey!", Eve exclaimed, "I promise I won't hurt you afterwards".
I ran off towards Kate and I's den and I heard Winston and Eve chuckle from behind me. Soon enough, I made it to the den and looked inside, but didn't see Kate anywhere. "Kate?", I asked, wondering if she was just in the back of the den, where I couldn't see her, but there was no answer, "where is she?".
I turned around just in time to see a golden-tan blur pounce on me and we rolled into the den. "Well, there you are", I said, as Kate stood over me.
Kate smiled, "I've waited a whole year for this, Humphrey", she said, "get ready for the best time of your life".
Skye's POV
Angel was leading me towards the Alpha den, as Angel had put it, to see her parents, the Pack Leaders. We approached a large den situated on top of a cliff and Angel told me to wait at the bottom. She climbed up the slope and entered the den, then a few minutes later, a white she-wolf that looked like an older version of Angel came out and approached me. "My daughter tells me that you would like a place in our pack", she said.
"Uhh, yes, Ma'am", I replied, Humphrey had taught me how to show respect to the pack's superiors before we arrived, "I was hoping that you would accept me into your pack".
She smiled, "well, I don't see anything wrong with it", she said, "do you know how to hunt?".
"No", I answered, "Humphrey explained the positions in the pack to me and I believe that I would probably be best suited as an Omega".
"Is that your wish?", She asked.
"I would prefer it, Ma'am", I answered.
She nodded, "very well", she replied, "just so you know, Humphrey is the Leader of the Omegas".
"Understood, Ma'am", I said, "where can I stay for the night?".
"You can just find an empty den", she answered, "in the morning you can dig your own".
"Okay", I replied, "thank you, Ma'am".
"Don't mention it", she said, "by the way what's your name?".
"My name's Skye", I answered.
"That's a nice name", she said, "I'm Lilly".
"Thanks again, Lilly", I replied, "you have no idea how much this means to me".
"Don't mention it", Lilly said, "I'll see you in the morning, no?".
"Possibly", I replied, "I get up quite early".
Lilly nodded and headed back up the slope into the Alpha den, then I left as well and went to find a den of my own. Eventually I found a den that wasn't being used and laid down inside, just as the sun was going down. 'Tomorrow, I will be scouting the area for any signs of Shadow's base', I thought to myself, then quickly fell asleep.
Humphrey's POV
Kate was sleeping peacefully in the back of the den, satisfied with our activities from earlier, and I was sitting by the entrance of the den, watching the sunset. After the sun went down, I went back inside the den and saw a faint glowing red light on the den wall. I looked over to Kate, who was still sleeping soundly, and figured that she wouldn't wake up, so I placed my paw onto the light. A blue line appeared and slowly passed under my paw, then once it passed, it flashed green and the den wall opened up. The computer, that was installed within my den over the past year, was revealed and the D.O.G.S. insignia appeared on the screen. A few seconds later, a secure connection to the Director's office was established and Director Lou's face appeared. "Agent Humphrey", Director Lou said, "I trust you got settled back in?".
"I did, Director", I answered, "but, umm, may I ask we keep it down, my mate's sleeping".
"Why did you even accept the call, if she was right there?", Director Lou asked.
"Trust me, Director", I said, "she won't wake up for a while, we just did some...activities, if you know what I mean".
"Ahh, I see", Director Lou replied, "a little reward for coming home safely?".
"You could say that, now what did you call me for?", I asked, "I trust it's important".
"Very, Agent Humphrey", Director Lou said, "we discovered that the mole has passed information to Shadow regarding your training".
"Well, on the bright side, we now know that the mole must've had access to my training files", I said, "which narrows down the field".
"Yes, but on the down side, Shadow now knows about you", Director Lou said, "I'd advise you to watch yourself, we don't know what Shadow is capable of".
"Understood, Director", I replied.
"Good", Director Lou said, "HQ out".
The connection was severed and I heard a groan come from Kate, so I quickly pressed the button that would hide the computer and within a few seconds it disappeared. I walked over to Kate and she gradually opened her eyes and looked up at me. Kate smiled, "you did a good job, Humphrey", she said, "you tired me out".
I chuckled, "are you not tired?", Kate asked.
"Not really", I answered, then I laid down beside her, "but I'll be right here while you sleep".
"Okay, Humphrey", Kate replied, then yawned, "by the way, was there someone else here earlier?".
"No", I answered, "why are you asking?".
"I could've sworn I heard you talking to someone", Kate said.
I licked her cheek, "go to sleep, Kate", I said, "I think you're just tired".
"Mmm, okay", Kate moaned, then she rested her head on her paws and closed her eyes. I bent down and kissed her on her head, "good night, Kate", I said, "sweet dreams".
Accomplice's POV
I accessed my computer and placed a video call to Shadow, after a few minutes I saw his face appear on the screen. "What is it?", Shadow asked, "this better be important".
"It is", I answered, "D.O.G.S. has fully trained a new wolf agent and has placed him in the field".
"Interesting", Shadow said.
"He's as formidable as they come, Sir", I said, "he's a wolf and a trained agent, he'll be difficult to stop".
"An Omega wolf", Shadow replied, then scoffed, "he won't be a problem".
I looked at him in shock, "h-how did you know that he's an Omega?", I asked, "I never told you that".
"You think you're the only one that's spying on him?!", Shadow growled, then shook his head, "you're many things, but smart, is not one of them".
"I'm sorry, Sir", I replied.
"What have you found out about him?", Shadow asked.
"He has a few friends, a mateā¦", I answered, "I don't know if he has any siblings or other family".
"He has a mate, you say?", Shadow asked.
"A golden-tan furred Alpha named Kate", I said.
"Hmm, I think I'll pay her a visit", Shadow said, "...but before I do, there's something that I need you to do".
"What's that?", I asked.
"I want you to separate this wolf agent and his mate", Shadow answered.
"Yes, Sir", I replied, "but they're inseparable, it's nearly impossible to separate them".
"Use your imagination", Shadow said, then he severed the connection and the screen went blank.
"Use your imagination", I mocked, then suddenly an idea came to mind.
'That just might work', I thought to myself, then I closed up the computer and headed out to put my plan into action.
A/N: How is it so far? I would like to see how many of you can guess who Shadow's accomplice(s) is/are, let me know and in the next update I'll tell you who guessed it right, if anyone did, that is.
Till next time,
