Chapter 5:
Two weeks have passed since my outburst with my dad. I still call him that because i forgave him, i soon understood what he meant by he was trying to protect me. He just better not have any more secret family members left.
"So, Humphrey, you'll be leaving today." he pauses.
"Yeah, and..."
"I hope you're not really serious about leaving are you?" He asks.
"Yeah, i don't mean it."
"Good, because you had an uncle who was like that, held grudges, mean, etc. He was a vicious mad-wolf, who got kicked out of the pack, i just hoped that you or your sister didn't inherit that, viciousness."
"don't that is a problem."
"Ok, come back soon so you meet up with your alpha trainer." He told me.
I left the den to say goodbye to Jewel and Shadow. When i walked up to them, they were playing thier little game. "Hey, shadow!" I shouted at her.
"Hey humphrey, are you leaving today?" She asked.
"Yeah, i just wanted to tell you, goodbye."
"Oh, well good bye." She tells me.
"Come on Jewel, dad wants us to, wait, where is Bolt?" I ask.
"He is with his dad." Jewel says.
"Ok, i will talk to him later, but lets head on back to our den." I tell her as we leave.
We arived back at the den, with our dad waiting there. "Come on Humphrey, your trainer is around back." He tells me as he leaves."
"Well, I guess this is goodbye Jewel." I tell her, i know shes heart broken about me leaving, but its Jewel, she'll grow past it soon.
When i went around back, i saw this big wolf. "Now this, Humphrey, this is Bruce. This will be your instructor for the most part of Alpha Camp." He told me.
"Hey Burce, i'm Humphrey..." I started but was cut off.
"You will NOT CALL ME BY MY NAME. You WILL CALL SIR AND/OR SARGEANT!" He yelled at me.
"Yes, sir!" I say.
"Wait, you look familiar..." He started.
"No, he doesn't." dad says, "Come on Humphrey, let's go back inside."
"I already dont like him." I say.
"Yeah well neither did Robert, but he's the only alpha trainer, and he's a good one too." He tells me. "You might want to go say bye to grandpa, I'm sure he'll want to see you before you leave."
"Yeah, but, when do you need me back."
"I don't know, but I'll come get you we it's time." I just left, and went to the center of the pack, where my grandfather's den is.
"Hey, Rover, hows it been?" He asks, he rarly calls me by my real name.
"I just came to hang out since I'm leaving soon." I tell him.
"Oh, ok. The last time I saw you was around 2 to 3 weeks ago."
"Yeah, me and my dad had a fight, i found out that my real dad was a guy who got punished for a serious crime, and died for it. I got mad at him because he never told me about it."
"Yeah, listen Billy, i never wanted to do that, i actully wanted him to escape."
"Wait, you never wanted to do what?" I asked.
"To kill him..."
"What?" I asked shocked.
"Oh, you didn't know that, didn't you. But anyway, i needed to act like i tried to get him because i wanted to keep the pack in order, thats why i only sent one guy after him when he ran away. He never found him so i called off search. I though he was still alive, until i found him 2 months later, dead in a lake." He explained to me, but i though my real daf died the day of the execution.
"Humphrey, its time to go..." My dad, or i should say, Jake told me.
"He dad, grandpa told me that my real dad ran away from the execution, and never died one he left." I started.
"Uh-oh." Grandpa said.
"But you told me different, that he died on the exucution day."
"Well, yeah, he was found two months later, dead." dad told me.
"I was two months old when he died, everyone knew he was alive before then, but no one came out of the pack to look for him!" I said, starting to raise my voice.
"Humphrey, its more complicated than that." He told me.
"He died, cause everyone was too lazy to go help him!" I yelled. I had so many thought going through my head right now.
"Humphrey, he was wanted in the pack, he couldn't of retured..."
"So?! We could of still visited him, helped him!"
"Humphry! Im grtting really tired of your arguing, now lets go!" my dad yells
"You know what?" I started, "I would rather DIE outside of this pack!" I started out of the den, "Then to live the rest of my life in it..." I turned around and bolted out of den and into the woods, never looking back and the only thing i could hear was the faint aond of my dads voice yelling, "Humphey, wait!"
For what felt like and hour of running, i ran into this building of a wolf, i fell down while he stood completely still. He looked at me, a scar on his eye with a missing ear. All he said was.
"Excuse you?"
