Chapter 4:
(A Month Later:)
Not much has happened in the past month, our dad lets us leave the den more now and we can go anywhere in the pack, but only if dad knows how to get there.
It was early in the morning, my sister went to Bolt's den, she has been hanging around him alot recently. I turned to my dad.
"Hey, i'm going to go find Jewel and Bolt." I told him, he just said "ok"
The first place i went to go check was that old tree we usually hang around at, but i stopped and thought about something. If i have alpha training in a month, that means im sopost to be an alpha.
But my dad is not an alpha, he an omega, which makes my mom an omega, two omegas cant make an alpha. I started think about it more, me and dad dont really look alike. So i did what i shouldn't of done.
"Dad, are you my real dad?" I asked him. His eyes widen.
"Of course, i'm your real dad, who'd you think was your dad, my brother."
"Brother?"
"You haven't met him, now go to your friends." He tells me as he lays back down.
I ran off towards the tree we hang out by. "Hey guys, what'd i miss?" I asked them
"Nothing, we were just about to play hide and seek. You want in?" Bolt asked.
"Sure!" I say, "Whos it?"
"You," Shadow says as the rest run off, "Count to 20!" And she leaves, i let out a little laugh.
"1, 2, 3, 4... and 20, ready or not, here i come!" I shout out as i start looking for them. Shadow and my sister were always easy to find, it was bolt that i had trouble with.
It didn't take long before i found shadow in a tree, and i knew where my sister is, she hides there everytime. I walked to where there was half of a log on top of a hill. She always hides in it.
"Hmm, wonder where Jewel is." I say aloud teasing her. I jumped in the log with her and shouted, "Found you! Now come help me find bolt." I say but before i could get out of the log, we both start sleading down the hill, me and Jewel were teriffied at first, but then i enjoyed it. But not Jewel, she still hated it.
"Weee..." I say going all the way down, until we came to a complete stop.
"You enjoyed that?!" Jewel asked me.
"Yeah, it was fun!" I tell her.
"That was not 'fun'." She says.
"Sure it was, now lets go get Bolt." I tell her, but she just rolls her eyes and follows.
We walked for awhile with no trace of him anywhere, "Lets get up in a high place to see if we can see him from there." Jewel sugested.
We climbed back on to the hill where i found her. However, when i reached the top, i saw Bolt up here, on the top of the hill.
"Humphrey, what are you doing up here, you was already up here?" Bolt asked me, shocked.
"I decided to look again, but that doesn't matter now. You were the last to be found so who do you want to count?" I ask.
"Me, ill give you 15 seconds." I start running away, but without looking where i was going, i ran into that wolf i encountered a month ago. He alpha looking one with large ears. I eas bigger now so i completely ran him over.
"Oh sir, are you alright?" I ask him, but he justgets up and looks at me.
"I warned you yound one, you need to watch where you are going." He got closer as i backed up, "My name, humphrey, is Kevin, and i to you will guide you, though an easy life. However, you seem like quite the adventurous one, yes?" He says.
"Humphrey? How do you..." I start but was cut off.
"Silence. You only have 2 weeks of being a pup left, you long a difficult juorney will continue from that point on, then only you can pick the choice you make differencing you from life, or death. See you later, Humphrey. Oh, and by the way, the man you think is your father, isn't." Kevin say, before he vanishes. I look back at bolt, kinda dizzy from all i just heard, but it seems like he just started counting.
"15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 9, 6, 1, here i come." I remained frozen, and i was the first to be found. "Humphrey, are you still playing, it usually takes me longer to find you?" He asks me.
"Yeah, i just need to check something." I tell him as i walk back to my den.
I walked in to see dad laying down on the floor, all i wanted to know was one thing.
"Dad, are you really my dad?" I asked him. He raises his head up and looks at me.
"Humphrey, what would make you think that?" He asks me.
"My traits vs your traits, plus i had someone tell me, so, is it true?" I ask again.
"...Well..." He starts.
"What!? Your not, then who is?!" ask him.
"Humphrey, its complicated." He tells me.
"I want to know, NOW!" I yell at him, i alread know about my mom, i dont what to not have a dad too.
"Humphrey, he died, he was an alpha who married an omega, the punishment for that penalty is death." I backed up aginst the wall.
"Wh-what?" Was all i said. "I cant beleave you kepp this from me."
"Humphrey, you were, and still are, too young to know, thats why."
"You told me about mom."
"But thats cause... well... You dad told me to look after you if he died, and he did, right in the middle of the pack."
"But... You know what, when i come back from alpha training, i am moving out of here, you hear?!" I tell him.
"Ok, but please, i know you change your mind, i just wanted to protect you."
"You protected me enough. Im going to papas for the rest of the day." I tell him as ieave, and he didnt even try to stop me. Ijust left, and didn't look back.
