Hey guys! So School is starting in a couple days for me, unfortunately that might take time from me writing stories. I just finished this chapter until I'll see if I have time next week to make another. To make it better I made it longer so you can sit back and enjoy!
Kate's POV
3 months passed. It came to me that I'll never find Humphrey, and that he was most likely dead. I don't want to think that, and I will keep looking for him if it's the last thing I'll ever do. The whole winter I was searching for Humphrey, my best friend, my true Love. Food was harder to find, and living out here in the freezing was living hell for me. I can't imagine what it's like for Humphrey to be out here all alone, if he is alone. I ran into wolves here and there. Most of the time they were aggressive and thinking I might steal food since I'm a lone wolf. But I'm not here looking for trouble, I just want to be with Humphrey. Perhaps if I find him I might live with him here in the spring, I don't know what my parents will think though. Some wolves said the wolf I was looking for is dead, and that I'm wasting my time here dying. But I won't let that slip.
I see smoke out in the distance, I couldn't tell clearly what it really was. I slowly approach the hill to see where it's coming from. As I made my way up I saw total chaos. It was a truck collision with a tree, and it was on fire. I sort of stood and watched, I didn't want to approach any human due to their hostility. No one was coming out, they might of ran away or something. As I was walking on the shrapnel and other debris from the collision I start to notice blood, it was coming from behind a tree. "I don't like this place" I say shivering to myself. Then a large thunk of a broken branch came from behind me.
"Hey there beautiful, sorry to scare ya" The unknown wolf said chuckling.
He was a big wolf, bout the size of Garth. He had jet black fur with blood running down its mouth. He had deep orange eyes and he was walking down the hill towards me. I didn't like the way he was looking at me. He just sat there, looking deep into my eyes. I must better get going before things get worse. I made a turn left and the wolf came and blocked my path to where I was going.
"No no. You aren't going anywhere sweetie. You're coming home with me. We will have a little fun" The wolf said licking his lips.
I didn't like where this was going. I was afraid and I didn't know what to do. I don't think I can take on this wolf he is way bigger than me. I heard a voice from behind me. It was an all brown wolf with green eyes, same size as the other one. So now there's two of them, how much worse can this get?
"Well well what do we have here. A lone wolf in the middle of nowhere. A female so that's a bonus." The wolf said.
"Tiberius, I am bringing her home and you're not taking her from me." The black wolf said.
"Oh come on Koko, she belongs with a wolf like me, you know someone who she can look after. Is that correct darling" Tiberius said showing his muscles and flexing.
Oh great. Two Male wolves catcalling me and fighting over me. As they were arguing about who can have me I make my move to turn left and run passed the trees. I run until I lose sight of them.
"Oh thank God" I whispered in relief.
No ones POV
As the two wolves were fighting. They noticed that the she wolf ran away passed them. Both were dumbfounded and angry at each other.
"All because of you! She's gone and you messed up my chance of getting laid!" Koko said angrily.
"Hey she was better off with me!" Tiberius says shouting back spitting in his face.
"Oh god you're breath stinks from that Man You just ate, did you have to kill him?" Koko shouts.
"I might as well eat that wolf too if I can" Tiberius says getting smacked by Koko.
"We lost her! All because of you" Koko yells.
"Shut up we can find her. It's only to whoever gets her first" Tiberius said as they both started running to the scent of Kate's.
Kate's POV
I slowly walk with my head down not noticing what's ahead of me. I do pick up a sound though. It was the same two wolves who I encountered earlier. I took no time and I ran fast towards the valley. I didn't trust these wolves, I don't know what they're capable of doing.
"You can run, but you definently can't hide from us. I will hunt you down" I heard one of them say. I can't tell if they're behind me, I didn't want to look back. My heart was pounding fast and I made my way down the valley.
I take a closer look at the valley. It wasn't what I expected, it was a lake. A frozen Lake. I didn't care I didn't want to stop, I was afraid of breaking the ice too since I couldn't swim very well. I took one step on the ice and I almost slipped but I recovered quickly enough back on my feet.
"Woah woah, what are you doing, are you trying to get yourself killed?" One wolf stops.
"It'll be worth it trust me" The other one says chasing me. Turns out only one of them is chasing me. Before I could look back so see where they are, I hear ice cracking from behind me. I look behind and I see the ice breaking apart from another. The wolf came and pounced my side and I was under him.
"You can't run either" he says smirking. He opened his mouth to bite down on me, but I quickly kicked him hard in the nuts and he howled in pain.
"Bad girl, you will die for that!" he screams in pain. I heard him fall into the frozen lake. I made my way to shore before all the ice reached me. I was relieved I escaped in an extremely close call. The lake had several ice caps now, the other wolf is still out there somewhere though.
I was walking down the path from up another hill. It was a deep forest so you can easily get lost in here. I felt a snowflake on my muzzle, I look up and I see that it started snowing. I was sad, lonely and depressed. I haven't talked to anyone so I feel so lonely. These were the only two wolves I've met in a while and they weren't friendly at all. I just want to be home with Humphrey, snuggling by him. As the snowstorm gets mightier, he can hold me even tighter. I've even been thinking on starting a family with him. I really want to have pups, and grand pups. I doubt anything like that will ever happen. By this point I don't know why I'm still looking for him. I just want to make up for what happened back at my wedding day. I made my mistake and I want to apologize and find him. I would love to marry my best friend, Humphrey is just so amazing. He's different than other wolves, his personality and humor is beyond amazing, and I need someone like that in my life right now. I was busy daydreaming until I stubbed my toe on a log that was in front of me.
"Ow!" I say quietly. I hear a little noise coming from inside the log. It was a little yelp, I peek into the log and I see a little wolf pup cuddling all by itself. I was shocked, I didn't know what to do. It might be scared out here all alone. I had to calm it down because it was afraid and backing up to me.
"Hey there sweetie. I'm not gonna hurt you I promise" I tried to make the pup feel better.
The pup was still in the log and it got out from the other side. As the pup faced me it had one of the most adorable, cutest little face on the planet. It had grey fur, white underbelly, and it's eyes were amazing. She had sky blue colored eyes and her eyes were swelled with tears. Oh God I felt heartbroken as this cupcake was looking at me. It must have gone through a lot of stuff. It's parents are no where to be found, and it is shivering in the cold. I slowly approach it and calm it down. It covered its eyes with its cute little paws, gosh it was the sweetest thing ever.
"Look baby, I won't hurt you. Are you cold? You want to come by me to warm up a little?" I ask in a soothing voice. From what I can tell it's a female pup.
She runs up to my side and dips her head in my fur. I can feel her tears drooping down my fur. I swoop my tail as it acts like a blanket around her. I just stare at her, she slowly looks up to me and she smiles. Her smile was the cutest thing ever. I lick her head and she giggled cutely.
"Thank you" She says cutely showing her teeth.
"Your welcome sweetie" I Said. "What is a pup like you doing out here all alone? Where is your mother?"
"What's a mother?" She asked curiously.
I was taken back. This little baby wolf was most likely an orphan. She never had a normal family, she was out here all alone with no one to help comfort her. I felt sorry for it so I changed the subject.
"Oh nothing, um..What's your name sweetie?" I quickly ask.
"My name's Sophia. I was with my father until a couple of mean wolves were after us so he told me t hide, and now he's looking for me." She says digging her head snuggling by me. Apparently she has a father, her mother must of died when she was very little, poor thing.
"Don't worry Sophia, we will look for your father. I won't let those mean wolves take you and your father." I say in a soothing voice cuddling the baby.
As she was all warmed up, Sophia leads me the way. She is an amazing little girl, she had an amazing sense of humor that reminded me of Humphrey. As she was telling stories she was hopping in the snow like a bunny, I couldn't help but crack a laugh by it on how cute it was.
"My dad says that when I sleep, I snore loud enough to help him wake up to go hunting. He's never on time to anything." She says laughing as I share a laugh.
Sophia was the one I needed to help me smile on my way here. Couple of weeks have been a living hell for me, now that she's here she's making me feel better. I was curious on her backstory, she never had a mother. Maybe she did, but she might have not remember her. I can't imagine how hard it must've been for her to live without her mother. Most baby animals can't live a week without her mother. Without her mother's milk she wouldn't have been healthy, but as far as I can tell she is a perfectly normal little wolf. Sophia is very energetic, she can just keep on talking and talking, it wouldn't bother me though because Humphrey was exactly the same.
"So you can hunt is that right?" I question her. A little wolf about 2 months can already hunt, with of course the help of a father. As far as I know her father was the only one who is there to support her. It must've been hard to have your own mate die and take care of a young pup.
"Yea, my dad says when I grow up, I will be able to take down a moose!" Sophia says excitingly, hopping around.
"That's amazing, and I believe him dear you will" I say. She leads me to her father. I'm curious to see who it is. I'm helping a little pup find her father and then I'll continue to look for Humphrey.
"So kate, why are you here?" Sophia asked curiously as she climbed a log facing me.
"I'm looking for a friend. And I love this friend very much. He ran away from my old pack and now I'm looking for him. Until I found you, I will help you find your father and I will continue my search." I say in her face as I lick her muzzle. She can't help but giggle since she's ticklish.
"Me dad should be here but he-" Sophia and I looked in the forest to see where the broken branch came from. Sophia gasped since it was her father. It wasn't.
It was the same wolf as last time, only one of them though it was the white one. He was angry, he had a bloodthirsty look on his face. I was afraid, misty because I didn't know what to do with Sophia here.
"Where you going little one?" He says towering over her.
Sophia quickly runs back to me. She came between my legs and she was really afraid.
"I'm scared, Kate" Sophia said softly.
"Ha, it's okay don't be afraid, you're mother won't do anything about it. She can come home with me." He says coming closer. He mentioned I'm her mother, though I am protecting it. I don't want to lose a precious little puppy.
"You're sick! Leave before I'll end you for good." I snarled at him.
"What are you gonna do tell me? Are you gonna kill me?" He barked back.
I look back at Sophia, she was behind my legs crying and afraid. She had to run away and I had to take him in. It is the only thing I could do. I probably won't win, but as long as she's safe it's all good.
He growled and then smiled. "Come to papa!" He said charging full speed toward me and Sophia.
"Sophia, run! Get out of here! Hide somewhere!" I Said and she nodded and ran somewhere out of sight. I ran to the wolf and attacked him. He was a lot bigger so it was harder to put him down. But one thing I did have was speed so I dodged most of his moves. I tried to tackle him, but he had more weight so he quickly pinned me. He was now over me and my feet couldn't move. He holds his law toward my neck so now it's harder to breath. I couldn't escape his grasp. I was afraid. He sat there looking down at me smiling.
"Now that I have you, we will have some fun." He whispers in my ear as he tried to kiss me. I move my head all over the places and as soon as his mouth was close to mine, something came behind and tackled him.
I breathe rapidly and coughed a little. I was saved, but i dont know from who. I see a big grey wolf taking down the black wolf that tried to rape me. The grey wolf picks up the black wolf by the neck with its mouth and He slams the black wolf in the ground hard and holds him pinned on the ground. I never seen a move like that, I was actually amazed. The wolf says something to the black wolf.
"If I see you or your friend in my sight again, I will personally let you bleed to death as maggots crawl into your stomach. Do I make myself clear?!" He shouts in his face. Holding his paw on the wolf's neck.
"Ow ow yes yes!" The wolf says as blood covers his mouth.
"Now get out or I'll just simply kill you right here" the grey wolf says sternly.
Wow those were some harsh words. He sounds like my mother when she's angry. I haven't seen the wolf's face since he hasn't turned to me. I could still hardly get up because my muscles were so sore. The wolf came up to me, he stopped and looked at me. I was shocked, this wolf looked so familiar. He slowly comes up to me and looks down to me.
"Kate? Is that you?" He says.
I couldn't believe it? Could this actually be Humphrey?!
"Humphrey?" I asked astonishingly.
"Y-yeah it's me. Hey" he says not knowing what else to say.
I waste no time and I hugged him tightly. He toppled down on the ground with his back. I was crying under his fur. The wolf I was looking for saved me! I really want to show my feelings for him, but I'm scared what he will say, since he left because of me.
"Thank you Humphrey! I'm sorry for what I've done I shouldn't have been a bad friend. Please forgive me." I Said looking deeply into his eyes.
"It's ok, Kate. I forgive you. I'm looking for someone right now it's important." Humphrey says looking around for something.
"Humphrey I came all this way to look for you too, maybe we can go back." I say as he's still busy searching.
"Kate look, there's a lot going around that you don't understand. And I'm not going back. I found my new life." He says looking at me. His new life? What does he have here that he doesn't have in Jasper? He has his friends waiting for him there, what could he possibly have that makes him want to stay?
"Just tell me that you're doing Humphrey?" I became impatient. Humphrey takes a deep breath.
"Ok Kate all I'm trying to say i-" he was cut off.
"Daddy!" Sophia came running toward Humphrey. I totally forgot about Sophia. And it turns out Sophia is Humphrey's-? No it can't be? This whole time Humphrey was looking for Sophia And she was looking for him. Who was Humphreys mate? How did she die? I felt dizzy after all these thoughts surrounded my head. I didn't know what to do so I sat there frozen like a statue.
"There's my little princess!" Humphrey said running toward her. He picks her up and hugs her.
"I thought I lost you!" He said in her ear hugging her tightly. I was amazed. Humphrey was a father. I knew Sophia had characteristics with Humphrey now it all adds up. How did Humphrey keep her alive this whole time? He must have been an amazing father. His only hope that helped him in life was starting a family. He started out as as an Omega, worked his way to an Alpha for a couple of months, and now he became a loving father. I sat there and I cried a little.
"Daddy, Kate helped me from the mean wolves!" Sophia says as Humphrey turned his way to look at me.
"I-" I started out.
"Kate look I know you have a lot of questions, but on top of that thank you for saving my daughter" Humphrey says hugging me tightly. This was the feeling that I wanted. But how could Humphrey find a mate already and have a child? I still have a lot of questions. I am happy I found him though.
"Humphrey I have a lot of questions." I say to him.
"And I have a lot of answers" He answered back. Sophia was on top of Humphreys head howling. Her howl was super cute, we couldn't help but share a laugh.
"Let's go darling, it's almost time for bed" Humphrey said to her. We make our way to the den, it's only up on the hill. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't express the love Humphrey had for her. I always knew he was amazing with kids. I just wish she was our child.
