Hey guys welcome back! Hope you enjoy this new chapter and many more yet to come!

Kate's POV

I started my journey. I have never really got the time to go out and spend my day watching the beautiful scenery of the wildlife. I was always focused on my duties and looking out for the pack. I was on a cliff looking out to the amazing view of the mountains and waterfall. I spot a family down the valley next to the waterfall, it was a female deer with a little fawn.

2 days have passed without me sleeping or stopping for food. I was exhausted, but I wasn't going to give up on Humphrey. I spot a den out in the distance, I really needed to rest.

Later next morning...

I wake up all tired. I look out the den to see it was already passed noon. "How long did I sleep?" I say to myself. As I slowly stood up I see an old wolf in the corner of the den.

I stand up radidlt in a defense stance ready to pounce. He got startled and backed up.

"Woah, relax! I won't hurt ya" He softly says.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" I spat out

"What am I doing here? If you can't tell you are in my den and if I may ask what are you doing in here" he says sternly with a raised eyebrow.

I take a deep breath. "My name's kate. I'm from Jasper Park looking for a friend. I've been finding him for a couple days now and I needed a place to rest so I found your den. Sorry for disturbing you." I Said looking at him.

"It's ok. My name's Victor. I've been living in this den for a while now, make yourself comfortable I have food I just got this morning" he says motioning to the meat carcass.

"Thank you" I managed to say. I was starving.

Victor is an old wolf with grey fur, and white underbelly, sort of like Humphreys. He had really big eye bags and many scars around his body.

"So, I heard you say there's a wolf out here you're looking for. Who is this wolf?

"His name his Humphrey. He was my best friend. He left our pack all because of me. I never told him that I was getting married, and the day I was suppose to get married I heard he ran away. I called off the wedding and here I am looking for him now." I say taking a bite.

He looks up at me. And he stand up quickly.

"Humphrey, the lone wolf Humphrey?" Victor says surprised.

I don't know if he's talking about the right Humphrey. I mean he is practically a lone wolf but I wouldn't want to assume he is one.

"Umm yea..yea you've seen him around anywhere" I question him.

"No, no I haven't seen other wolves besides him for a couple days now. Last time I heard he was headed toward the mountains. What for I don't know" he says.

"Hmm lets take a look around so you can show me" I say leaving the den.

I noticed he was walking rather strangely. His left paw wasn't moving, as if it was broken or if it was lame. I didn't want to ask him but I didn't want to look at him either.

"It's okay you can ask what's wrong you don't need to hide it" he chuckled.

"Is it hurting you?" I ask.

"No I had this for a while. It was the humans that gave me this. They shot me in the paw while I was defending myself." Victor says as I look at his paw.

"Wow, why would they do such a thing?" I was shocked.

"They're humans, you can't really trust what they do. One they they may be your friend, the next day you might get shot. That's just what they do, they kill in cold blood" he says angrily.

"Yea, I don't trust them either" I say.

We talk as he leads me the way. After all he is a really good guy, he has amazing stories to tell. I can tell many horrible things happened to him, and I do my best to avoid answering them. He leads me to an open valley a few miles where the mountains are.

"There is your Humphrey, you will need him as much as he needs himself" he says smiling.

"Thank you very much" I smiled back at him.

I run to the open feilds towards the mountains. I was running while looking up at the mountains.

Humphrey here I come.

A month later...

Humphreys POV

Few weeks have passed. It was early winter now and the wrath of the life is slowly hibernating day by day. Prey vanish and predators get hungrier and hungrier. I have survived all the way till now and I live in the northern mountains. I've lived alone for a long time, and I have been surviving in the cold without food for a few days now. I have encountered wolves and other animals in my area. I do my best to avoid them, but they don't approach me either. My fur has gotten thicker, and darker allowing me to survive in freezing temperatures. I can't say I have a better life now, but I do definantly enjoy the freedom of a lone wolf. I have left everything that happened to me, but I won't ever forget anything.

I spot a deer down the valley. I slowly crouch down and stalk my prey. I have developed hunting skills on my own for a while now. I could catch prey, just not as good as other alphas who asctually practice.

I was about 10 feet from the deer, hiding in the tall snowy grass.

I make my move and I charged at it. I get a good grip of the deer until it kicks me in the stomach with its back legs. I get up and start chasing after it. It loses sight of me as I hide up on a hill. As I sneak around the deer I jump on it's back and I take it down from there. I was proud of my kill.

"First kill in a couple days" I said smirking to myself.

I finish the deer carcass, I return my way back to my den. Then I heard thunder and rain falling down the deep forest. I quickly ran up the mountain to my den, until I heard a noise. It was more than a noise, more like a cry, a cry of an animal. I stop dead in my track and listen to my left. I walk up to the little burrow covered in snow, and what I see was the most unexpected thing ever. I saw a tiny pup, almost a newborn. It was about a week old so it's eyes weren't fully opened yet. It was very light grey with white underbelly and white running down its muzzle to the head of the snout. I didn't know what to do, and I didn't want to leave it there.

The poor pup was probably freezing to death, I don't want to leave a baby out in the freezing cold woods with predators around. I pick up up by the scruff and bring it in my den. I brought it in the den and I walk out looking for others wolves who would take it. I wait and call out to whoever might be out there. I even howled so others could hear me. No one came. I was in the middle of nowhere, with a dying pup next to me.

I take a deep breath and walk up to the pup cuddling my whole body around it.

"What am I going to do with you?" I say to the pup as I fall asleep.
