Chapter: 14

I slowly opened my eyes and looked out of our train cart's door to see a beautiful sunset on the horizon, was it night already, we must have been tired. I looked over at Kate, who was sleeping peacefully beside me. He was right, she did look a little cute while she slept. I noticed that the sign, "Welcome to Jasper!" just flew, by so I decided to wake her up.

"Psst, Kate, wake up," I say as I nudge her cheek and she slowly opens her eyes. "We're, we're in Jasper," I tell her.

"Humphrey, what happened last night?" She asked and when she said that I remember our howl.

"What, oh nothing, it was just a howl. I think. But hey, that's in the past now, all you gotta do is don't tell your mother." I said as I walked up to the edge of the cart, "Because soon you will be home, you'll marry garth, and this whole trip will be behind us."

"Yeah." She said uneasily.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Well, Humphrey, I got to tell you something. I had fun... with you. This trip was actually kind of fun. You were fun. This kind of made me feel like a kid again. And I just was to say..." She stopped.

"Kate I hear you, and all I was to say is I..." I looked at her and she was gone. "Kate?" I saw her running towards the pack. I let out a deep sigh. Knowing that everything that has happened this week will be put in the past, never to be spoken of again. But boy was I wrong...

Winston's POV:

I was at the edge of my pack, the ravine. I and my pack were on the sides, waiting for don't to make his move. The ravine separates the packs, but when you are in it, it's neither part of the eastern, not western pack. This is where both packs hold their weddings. I look up to the sky to see that the full moon was up above.

"Be ready," I whisper to the rest of the pack. I saw Tony walk up to his side of the ravine.

"Winston." He said quietly.

"Tony," I responded.

It didn't have to be like this, you agreed on the marriage and to take her away from this and..." He started but I interrupted.

"I don't know where she is Tony," I said.

"Ok, even so, my pack is starving, I am starving. And that is a problem. You know what I do to problems?" He asked.

"Solve?" I said, knowing that wasn't it.

"No, I fix them." He looked at his alphas and nodded, as the two of them jumped down, Candu and Hunch did the same.

Kate's POV:

I left Humphrey on the train, I saw in the distance that the packs were about to fight. I needed to get there and stop it before it was too late.

I was running when I felt a pain in my stomach. Not like an "ow, ow" pain but more of a sick pain. I just ignored it and kept running. I was at a cliff and I saw Candu and Hunch about to fight, I needed to stop them quickly. I did the only thing that came to mind.

"STOP!!!" I yelled at them from the cliff.

"Kate?" I hear my mom say. I hope down the cliff and ran to my dad.

"Kate, I'm so glad you back."

"Kate, you back."

"Kate where have you been?" Various voices asked me.

"Kate, we have been looking for you for a week, where we're you?" My dad asked.

"Hey, uh, don't forget, I was going too," Humphrey says as he hops down the cliff to us. I giggled.

"We were in a place called Idaho. We made it back by train." I tell them.

"Idaho, I heard of that place, isn't it in the states. Wait, how did it take you two a week to get from there to here if you traveled by train?" He asked.

"Well, we ran into a problem when Humphrey fell off a cliff and broke his leg, " I tell them.

"Well honey, shouldn't still be broken?" mom asked.

"I know, that's the crazy thing. I woke up one night with him not breathing, so I left our den to get help, and when I came back, it was magically healed!" I explained to them.

"' Our' den?" Mom asked, angrily.

"Eve, just because they sleep in the same den doesn't mean anything, but was that it or is there more to your story?" He asked as I nodded yes. "Ok, Humphrey, are you feeling any better?" He asked me.

"Yeah, a little," Humphrey replies.

"Well, I'm glad to be back, back to..." I was cut off by Tony.

"...Marry Garth! Remember?" The wedding will be at dawn." He says.

"Can we push the wedding a little further. I'm having stomach pains?" I ask.

"Stomach pains?" mom asks herself.

"Yeah, but not it hurts, just, I fell like I need to throw up every now and then... and some times all of a sudden," I tell her.

"So you feel 'sick'?" She asks.

"Sometimes, it usually hits all at once though," I reply. Mom had that look on her face that told everyone not the mess with her.

"Humphrey, you need to go," My dad whispers.

Humphrey's POV:

"Humphrey, you need to go," Winston whispers to me.

"What, why," I ask.

"Kate, go to the den and I will see what is wrong with you. After I ask Humphrey a few questions." Kate just replied with a nod and left.

"You had your chance," Winston says as backs up.

"Someone may, or may not die tonight," Eve says as she slowly walks towards me and I back up.

"Woah, Woah, Woah, Eve. I didn't do anything." I tell her.

"Really, so you didn't get Kate pregnant?" She asks.

"What no, I was injured the whole trip. The only time I..." Then last night hit me like a tidal wave, after the howl, "...Oh yeah, now I remember." Before I could see any other questions, Eve was on top of me faster than lightning, strangling me.

"Eve, get off him." Winston told her, but she ignored, "Eve, get off him! You killing him. Don't you want Kate's pup to have a father?" He asked, and when I heard this, I had no control over my body. My eyes turned bloodshot red and I got an incredible burst of strength, speed, and adrenaline.

In the blink of an eye, I took my back lag and swept her legs together and with my might, I flew her over to where I was on top choking her. I let out a low growl. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't stop it. She struggled to get up, but couldn't. It was only then I could move again. I hoped off Eve and apologized.

"Humphrey, where'd you learn that move?" Winston asked.

"I, I don't know. It must be..." I didn't finish, I just ran off to the center of the pack, I needed to talk to Kate.

How was this one, is Kate pregnant or not, what happened to Humphrey and what will happen next? The answer to all of these questions will be told in the next few chapters. I've been busy lately, that's why I've not been posting. Anyways, like and follow, have a good rest of your day and...
