Okay I'm back! Enjoy the new chapter :)
Continuing where we left off…
No one's POV:
The barn fell silent, the murmurs of "Wow, she's an omega?" and "dude, she is SO hot…" made Kate freeze on the spot, panicking. Although, she didn't run away like any normal wolf would do in this type of situation. She tried to suck it up and continue her march.
But even for the likes of Kate, it was way too much. Humphrey knew he had to do something,
Or this would end in absolute disaster. This was his last night with Kate, he had to make the most of it. His body with boiling with rage. He stormed into the barn, everyone bowed their head, Kate glanced back, to give out a sigh of relief, the bowing just enraged Humphrey even more, they we're wasting time. This is the most important day of his life. Period. He wanted to roar at them, tell them off.
But then he realised that the silence was now completely because of his arrival. "Well?" he says in his signature calm, playful voice. "Who's ready to party?" the barn erupts again, as the party then continues, the shouts startled Kate, "What the hell, what kind of party is THIS?" she thought, Humphrey smiles. These idiots are so loyal.
He approaches Kate, who has still not realised what kind of party it is, there's wolves on tables, screaming at the top of their lungs, on stage there is wolves singing and dancing, talking about the rain, while everyone else was going wild on the ground. Kate has only gone to ALPHA parties, which is really just mindless chatter. About issues with the pack, with food and drink. This was all so new to her.
"Hey Kate! So, how's the omega life?" he smiles at her, she has the most shocked and confused face on her. She couldn't make out what he was saying, due to the volume of the omegas, Kate follows her instincts, Humphrey has always told her to be herself, and to do what she wants, she then sits down. Head up, Humphrey tilts his head, "Amm, Kate!" even he has never experienced this amount of noise at his parties, "What are you doing?!" she looks back at him, "I- I'm partying…" she then continues siting. She knows that this isn't working, "Humphrey, I feel so uncomfortable right now!"
Suddenly, a small omega is thrown at the wall Kate is sitting at, nearly hitting her right in the face. She screams, but Humphrey anticipates this and leaps forward pushing her out of the way, landing face first on top of her. They both show tints of red in their cheeks, "Thank you…" Kate mutters, Humphrey, Kate expects him to her knight in shining armour to go and punish that stupid omega for nearly knocking her out, Humphrey just looks back and laughs, Kate gets up from underneath him. "Humphrey, I think I should go! I really don't belong here with you omegas!" she shouts at him, He smiles, and gets up on stage with all the other omegas, dancing with partners. He reaches out his paw, "Come on Kate! I'll show you! Trust me I'm a pro!" she smiles, trusting him by taking his paw.
The two are now up on stage, both now standing on two feet. Kate struggles to keep this stance, she has never done this before. She hasn't seen Humphrey do it, so she expects the same reaction, but nope. He is already in the zone dancing away, with everyone else. Kate stunned, attempts a different dance. Tap dancing, everyone notices, and stops again. Humphrey this time smiles, and starts doing it himself, and so the chained reaction caused everyone to tap dance, all now joining arms, going in circles, Humphrey joins with Kate, Humphrey is surprised that Kate adapted to omega behaviour so quickly, out of nowhere black and blue berries on thrown on stage, Humphrey gasps at the sight of them he knows exactly what they are. Mulberries. He picks them up and shoves the whole stash down his throat, everyone else does as well. Kate thought that it was some sort of challenge, that they tasted so bad. It would pretty impressive to swallow a full bunch whole.
Kate's POV:
I take these weird berries, and stuff them down my throat, I hope it impresses some of them, surprising, they tasted really nice actually, pretty weird on how this is a challenge, I hear a loud sound crash behind me, I look over to see wolves collapse onto tables, I turned around to ask Humphrey if they were alright. To see him literally out of control. Hell, everyone was going mad. A wolf whose eyes are going everywhere, with tints of red in them, stumbles onto my shoulder, "Huh, your kind of cutee…..." "oh, thanks…" this is really scary what the hell is going on?! Humphrey stumbles over, "Hey you…." his voice sounds funny, am I dreaming? I'm getting really nausea… "ME?!" the weird wolf says, pointing to himself, "YeAh yOu ToUgH gUy." Humphrey, I think says, I can barely make out what the hell he is saying. "ShE iS mInE bRo, BaCk OfF" aw, Humphrey really does care. I feel myself drifting off, falling for him again, although this time I see us weirdly in a field dancing, wait. DOES THESE BERRIES MAKE YOU HIGH? Oh god, suddenly Humphrey clubbers the little omega in the mouth, sending the poor thing flying across the room. Hitting the back wall. I sit there in shock for a few seconds, then Humphrey says, "HeY mAtE" oh my god, did Humphrey just call me his mate? I'm going red, I can feel it, I was going to say that I love him, but then I realise that the guy is high, and probably just butchered my name.
"Come on Humphrey, I think you need to sit down…" if this continues then I might be dead by the end of the night, all of a sudden, I feel myself getting really energised, "OK NEVERMIND LET'S DANCE" everyone resumes dancing, but this time it's a hundred times more fun! Because wE fEeL lIke We ArE aBoUt To Go NiGht NiGht,
Kate's POV: (except it's translated back to normal writing lol)
Mostly everyone who was on stage, has now joined the crowd and followed the rhythm by clapping, shouting. Me and Humphrey are really the centre of attention, while other pairs are on the outside,
Wow. I never omega life could be so fun! Everybody's happy, man, I wish I was born a few minutes later after Lily, and then I would be the omega, I feel bad for Lily. I hate to say it, but my family never cared about her, one time they even thought of dis owning her. She deserved more love, I hope she's alright. I would take a switch in ranks with no thought.
We continue to eat more and more and more berries, making it even more wild, the beautiful flower that was once in my hear has been completely crushed, well I'd say so anyway.
We dance like this for hours upon end, not stopping for a second. This has been the most fun I've ever had! A small omega with a partner begins to howl, and in a matter of seconds the whole barn is howling, but the howls are certainly majestic, omega howls are known for being quite weak. Well compared to the likes of an alpha.
And also, simply because of the fact that we are all high, Humphrey howls, I come out of my crazy phase, and I feel like what I felt like before we arrived here, Humphrey's howl is. Amazing, "ho, ho hooo hooooo, hooo, ho. Hooo hooo ho, ho, hooooo hooo ho." My love for him only grows as he howls more, everyone has now stopped to tune in. He pauses for a second, and whispers into my ear "oh come on, you not going to howl with me?" I look at him and smile, I put my head under his neck.
And whisper "okay…" I'm still high, but I want to sound as good as possible. I want him to see me as some sort of goddess. I howl, in an angel like tone. Following the same notes that Humphrey did, he resumes his howl as well. We quickly turned this from a normal howl, into a romantic duet. We both constantly catch each other looking at the other, as everyone else stopped and admired us, I don't know why, but it honestly felt like I was getting married or something.
I stop, Humphrey being Humphrey continues his howl.
Looking down on me, a little disappointed that I stopped. I suddenly feel myself getting dizzy, light headed. Was Humphrey's howl putting me to sleep? Or was it just because I was really high.
I'm not sure…
1 hour later…
I wake up to Kiara, Paddy, Marcel and Humphrey all around me, Humphrey was the only one awake.
I groan, my head is aching, Jesus I really shouldn't have eaten those berries, "Good morning…" I whimper, Humphrey just smiles at me, "Kate, it's the middle of the night"
"Oh." My voice was cracked, even though I had just slept for a decent amount of time, I sounded so exhausted, "My goodness Humphrey, what the hell is in those berries? And why didn't you pass out?"
"I'm used to that stuff, it just a little alpha can't take that kind of stuff, knocks them out in an instant" he says,
"HEY, I think I did alright…" He walks over and licks my cheek, "For a first timer, you did ok, but we'll just tell you that you did great for a first timer, okay little Katie? Who's a good girl?" he says as he gently grabs my cheek and shakes it about.
"Stop it before I rip out your eyes, and shove them DOWN your throat, SO YOU CAN SEE MY CLAWS TEAR YOUR CARCASS OPEN…"
Humphrey jumps back, he must know that saying from somewhere, because he chuckles, "Ah, you take after you mom it seems" holy cow, he's right, mom would say that. "Sorry,"
He sits down beside me, I take the occasional glance over at him, his muscular body, he aqua blues, and his beautiful fur as it reflects in the moonlight, he avoids eye contact, and puts on a fake smile from time to time.
I wonder, "Humphrey you seem down, everything okay?" he turns to face me again, this time I can see pain in his eyes, as a little tear comes running down, he opens his mouth, then immediately closes it, he's lost for words.
"Humphrey please tell me what's wrong." I lick his forehead, he smiles, still tears stream down his eyes. Suddenly the protocol duck, April flies down, not aware of me being there.
"Sir, you better prepare your troops, war may break out, sooner than we expected." "War?! Wait, war! What the hell is going on?!" Humphrey sighs, "This isn't how I wanted you to find out. Yeah Kate, we're going to war tomorrow. April, awake them. I'd better make an announcement. If it's happening so soon, we should give them the enough time to say their goodbyes…"
I can feel my face screams terror, "Wait, you are coming back. Right?" I asked concerned, looking at him, he glares at me. And shakes his head, "Most likely not, sorry." My body is melting, I start to cry, but through my pain. I leap onto him, pushing him back down the slope, landing in the water, I'm weeping now, his puts his soft paw on my cheeks, and puts on a smile. Stopping the little drops leave my face. I hug him, squealing "I love you so much, don't leave me." He whispers into my ears, "What? Seriously going to doubt me, because I'm an omega? Showing your dad side too now huh? I'm sure I'll survive he he." I can not comprehend how much I admire Humphrey, even though he's on his last of life, he still remains happy and is able to crack a joke
I laugh a little through my tears, he pecks me on the nose, I look at him for a moment, to then kiss him passionately, it was the best few minutes of my life.
He lets go, and smiles, "I love you too Kate. And I always will, and even if I don't make it out tomorrow, be aware that I'll always be watching over you, making sure you have the greatest life a wolf can have, understand me?"
I nod, he looks around at the gorgeous reflection of the moon down on the lake, the little trees, a butterfly lands on his nose, he chuckles, "Hey there tiny guy. What's your na-" I swipe it off his nose, "Hey hey, shut up about your bug friends and kiss me."
We go in for a third kiss, to be rudely interrupted by April, "Sir, ehm. Sorry if I caught you in a bad time, but the omegas have gathered, there ready for the announcement…"
I let him get up, as he proudly strolls to his podium. April salutes him, he nods his head at her, he needs to make it out tomorrow, I don't know what the hell I'd do without my Humphrey…
Humphrey's POV:
I look back at Kate, and sigh well, at the end of the day, I finally found out how she feels about me, and that was my only objective in life, so that's certainly a win in my book. Although I wish, we could have explored that more. But it will be cool to go out as some king. Those assholes over at the western pack, better make me a fucking statue or something for giving up my life, right after Kate confesses LOVE for me.
The omegas cheer the second I am visible to them, I hear them say "Radical party earlier!" and "You're the best!" and of course, "Dude, I know your cool and all, but I was trying to get some rest…"
"Omegas, last week, I became your leader. And I'll have to admit, it has been the best week of my life."
"We love you Humphrey!" I hear one roar.
"Love you guys too!"
"Okay, back to the point, you guys have made this the greatest experience ever, I really want to thank you for this. But I also want to apologise…"
"Apologise? For what?" one says,
"Well, tomorrow, at 08:00am." Before I could finish, one interrupts,
"Oh, come on. 08:00 am, I'm lazy how the hell will I get up at that time."
Oh god, how the hell are they going to accept this?
"Guys, we are going to war tomorrow… To help a fellow pack out…"
The surprise on their faces as they look at each other, concerned. I guess I can give them some words of encouragement…
-Humphrey continues his speech, while the western pack prepare for a battle… Over the moon that Lily has came home, with an incredible alpha… But this wouldn't win them the war…
No one's POV:
The silence falls upon the western pack territory, everyone begins to say their goodbyes, there willing to fight.
But they all knew that they would certainly lose after a couple of hours. Winston would usually give orders, although thus far, only one order has been made.
Winston and Eve, spend the night in the den, not talking to anyone. Garth tries to encourage them, but. Nothing could change their fate, at this point anyway.
Lily is disappointed to find her pack very much the same the day she left it, in fact, a handful of omegas have died of starvation…
One being Humphrey's pal, Shakey…
Numerous sightings of eastern pack alphas in the area, performing and submitting their final report on the western pack's health. They are ready.
Winston appears out of the den, "gather please. NOW." The pack get in a semi-circle, around the main podium. Where Winston will begin his speech.
To see his pack like this hurts, but he must make the speech encourage them.
"Listen, I know in the past, I haven't been the best pack leader to you all, there's a lot of things that I've done, that I feel terrible about, but there's not much time left before I die and I really makes me realise, I had a pretty damn good life, and it was because of you guys, you were always there for me, and you believed in me, no matter what, so if I were to die tomorrow. There are no other wolves I'd rather be with"
"Wow Winston, beautiful speech…" the pack glances over to see a dark shadow arise from the forest, Tony.
The pack snarl at him, he was the mind behind their executions. "Get out of our territory Tony, or else."
"Oh, I'm sorry, just getting used to my future kingdom, you better hope your soldiers are ready, but after seeing them, I can proudly say that this will be easier than I thought."
Eve comes face to face with him, with demon red in her eyes, "I don't care about what happens to me tomorrow, but I promise, I will kill you Tony. Trust me I will" she says as she shows off her teeth, growling in his face, a bold act from a she-wolf.
"And here I was thinking, that maybe our packs could unite. But then, it would be a complete waste of food huh."
Garth and Lily join the commotion, wondering what is going on, Tony snaps at him. "TRAITOR."
Garth looks down to the ground, ignoring his dad, "You'll be the last, we'll make sure you SUFFER son."
"NOT on my watch, TONY" Winston shouts at him,
"Well, it's a certain win, your pack is a shack of bones. And you have no allies coming to save you this time Winston…"
"Don't be so sure." Shouts a goose, in a tree. It was Marcel
"Wait, so? Another pack is joining the war, in OUR favour!" Salty says,
"Why yes, you better be sure Tony, that your soldiers are ready, because, you will granted a rude awakening…" Marcel says, as he flies away from the scene… Tony snarls, as he retreats.
Meanwhile at the silver pack…
"Our compassion will not go unnoticed. Today, we will step outside my comfort zone. Our very nature will have to rest. For the freedom for others…"
"I don't know, I'm a bit scared… I don't want to do this. Isn't our entire existence about keeping peace?" One says from the crowd.
"Yeah, and also is for everyone to have a good life, I'm telling you. If we don't go to war tomorrow, then the fight will eventually come to us, and… We will lose an entire pack, a pack very close to my heart you guys, it's my home. And if we don't stop this war, soon. Your home, right here, will be gone…" I say to them.
The whispers begin again, a small guy in the middle speaks up,
"Yeah! If I want to go out! I want to go out happy! TO WAR I SAY!"
Finally, someone gets it, and the reaction from the crowd changes, "TO WAR,TO WAR TO WAR!" they chant at me.
"Yes! Yes, that's it you guys! TO WAR IT IS!"
The silver pack roars at me, I feel so awesome right now, "Wait what? WAR? Daddy what's going on?" Kiara says, as I slowly turn around, seeing tears form in her eyes…
