No one's POV: Jasper Park's Western Pack grows weaker. The days become weeks since the exile of Humphrey, Alpha and Omega schools are never fully attended now, sometimes the teachers don't have the motivation to teach. Scraps and bones are now an everyday thing, with the occasional hare or a small whitetail doe. Kate hasn't left the den in days, sitting there, emotionless. The only time she should talk to anyone would be her Grandad telling stories. You may as well call her dead. She may look like that on the outside, but inside, is a whole different story, it's like her brain is going faster than the speed of light. And no one is there to help her, she plans to make a run for it during the night. The caribou has migrated down to the eastern side, feeding them. Some of the western wolves have joined the eastern pack, claiming it's the only way they will survive out here. The eastern pack send out their strongest alphas to scout out the dens. As they watch Winston grow weaker and weaker, they prepare for a raid. Making the entire horizontal line of Jasper Park their territory. Surely making them the strongest pack in Jasper. Meanwhile deep into the forests. Lay a trio, a duck a goose and a lone wolf.
Humphreys POV: I wake up, feeling a slight pain in my back. Usually I wake up to my omega friends as we go log sledging down the hill, but things change, I guess. Well I'm not alone anymore. I got my two bird friends who have been training me up, so I can properly hunt for myself, they make me do exercises like rabbit sprints and tree squats. I'm now a lot bigger, probably as big as Hutch now, I honestly don't know how two birds became my personal trainer. They taught me how to hunt. Which is scary. Do they have past experience killing caribou or something? I don't know. I provide them with protection, and they provide me with skills to protect. So, it all works out. Those two haven't gotten up yet, proves how lazy they are. It's near noon for crying out loud. I decide to go on a morning stroll. To allow my thoughts let loose. I hear crying. Sounds like a pup. I race towards where the sound is coming from, It's close crying out for it's mother, poor thing. I look over the log and I see… Not a wolf pup, but a bear cub… It stops crying at the sight of me, I smile at it, it giggles, "Why would someone leave such a small cute thing like you? Huh?". I wait for a mother to come maybe it hasn't been left here after all, but no one came. I suddenly hear gunshots. And sounds of a bear in pain. I look down, to see two dead bears, with two humans dragging them to a machine of some sort to move around. I put two and two together, and I realise. That the parents hid it here. To protect it. The poor wee thing was now an orphan. I knew I couldn't just leave the poor thing here, I had to take it back to Marcel and Paddy I pick it up with my mouth, and head to our sleeping spot.
Kate's POV: That's it. I'm leaving tonight. To find Humphrey, I really hope he's alright, I've made a crack in the ceiling of the den, tonight I'm planning to push through it, to then escape. Running into the direction where Humphrey went, possibly getting his scent. And following it to find a wolf corps- no I'll find a handsome strong omega feeding on a moose waiting for me. "Dinner for two" he'd say in a formal voice. I giggle at my own thought. Lily looks at me and smiles, I put on the weakest fake smile ever. I wasn't happy. I hope everyone knows that. Lily is super nice, and probably thinks the giggle was a sign of hope, maybe me getting over Humphrey. But that would never happen. I really hope she grows into a strong omega with a handsome mate. Who will then lead the pack, because of my disappearance. I now have to wait, till nightfall. I wasn't worried about falling asleep since my brain was always running, keeping my body active. I wait patiently… Mouthing goodbye to every wolf I saw…
No one's POV: The mouths of Humphreys companions drop at the sight of the bear cub "Humphrey, do you know what that is?!" "Yeah, a bear cub. Little guy's an orphan, maybe we can adopt- Paddy cuts him off "Humphrey, you do know bear cubs. Needs milk, from a bear? Female bear. Now, do you think any of us fit that category?" "Well n-" "NO none of us are female ether, so raising this… thing will be a difficult task. And then when it gets older. As a thank you for raising him, He'll eat our faces!" "Paddy it's a she" classic Humphrey move. Marcel speaks up "Paddy, what is he suggesting now? That'll drink it's own milk?" The two laugh. Humphrey is quite mad at the statement "Look, ether you like it or not, we are raising this cub, it deserves a chance of life. Don't you think?" The two look at each other, agreeing to what he said. "Oui Oui we agree…" which Humphrey guesses that means something in French. "But you are papa. We are the uncles who don't give a shit" Humphrey chuckles "Alright…" "Well it's settled, I Paddy will be the first ever duck to have raised a bear." Humphrey corrects him "HELPED raise a bear aren't you one of the uncles who don't give a shit?" Paddy whispers "Don't tell the press that…" The all laugh, including the little cub. Humphrey notices it's little giggle "Maybe you are a lot more like new papa after all, little Kiara" the two birds smile as the new father and daughter laugh… But now. It's time. For the great escape…
Well, what do you think? Lily will have her own segment in the next chapter, for any lily fans who follow the story. How do you think Humphrey will do raising the cub? Thanks for the support as always and have a great day!
