No one's POV
The Nothern Mountains were slowing melting and vanishing, and the Wrath of Winter finally came to an end. Snow was melting and frost was trickling down from the trees. Blue birds were chirping in the beautiful sunset morning. Many rodents came out from hiding in logs and other sluggish burrows. The fresh air gave a last taste of what winter will be an end to, and the breeze swept every mountain towards the atmosphere. The Freezing, brutal winter came to an end and no more violence was coming across fighting for food and survival. It was now a time for peace and innocence, and the beautiful spring is what brings many Baby animals get a chance to experience the amazing wildlife and the beautiful Nature. The world around them will be evolving, the wonder of Mother Nature is a beautiful creation. But life isn't fair, and they will be taught to survive, and escape the dangers evolving around them. Down the plain valley, a beautiful family was walking down the Mountains. It was a mom and a dad, and a little pup. The little family was on their way down to Jasper Park, their home. The family was learned and taught to survive the cold winter, so they understand the way of lifting like a wolf. The father wolf, protects and provides for his family. He's the one who looks out to make sure their safe and the wolf has the responsibility to support the family. The mother wolf nurtures and raises the family so the little pups can go out and make a family of their own. They all have different duties, so that's what helps them survive. As they were striding along the snow they noticed down the mountain the valley was all melted. The two wolves were smiling knowing they were close to Home. The little pup in the other hand was looking at the melting snow and staring at the grass. Since it was up in the mountains her whole life, she never saw the grass growing on the feild. They smile as they walk closer to their bewildered pup.
"It's okay, it's just grass. In the springtime, the sun comes up and the snow melts, leaving the grass on the feilds" The mother says softly looking down at her pup. She looks up at her mother and smiles. As she was striding and hopping like a bunny on the green grass in the feilds she noticed some flowers in the distance. She runs up to the little tulips and stares at it. She's never seen something so pretty like that, glowing and rising it's petals as the sun sets a beaming glow on it. She smells the flower and starts hopping around smelling other roses and lavenders with her little nose. Her parents couldn't help but crack a laugh. They are both happy that she seems to enjoy the beautiful spring down here. The little pup has been living deep in the mountains her whole life, with predators like other cougars who chase their prey, to raptors soaring in the sky snatching their food. She never knew life would be this amazing it's like she was living in her own little world. Her parents knew that she would soon adapt to a life with other wolves so she gets familiar with her wolf heritage.
As the little joyful pup is treading on the green grass, she noticed a butterfly on a lily. She slowly walks up to it and the butterfly lands right on the top of her snout. She smiles as she runs up to her parents with the butterfly. She felt a sneeze coming as the butterfly spread powder of pollen on her nose. She gave a cute little sneeze and her parents giggled. Her father picks her up and puts her on his back as they continued walking down the valley towards the woods.
"Are we almost there?" Sophia asked playing with her father's hair.
"Yea, we will get there very soon" Humphrey said smiling up at her. Since it's officially spring now and there isn't much snow, it's easier to travel and it takes less time. It would take weeks to reach up the mountains, now it would take a couple days. They continued to walk and talk about random things, and cracking jokes here and then. As they entered the woods, they were amazed by the beauty. The sun rays were gleaming past the thick branches and many animals have left their dens in the spring.
"It's so beautiful!" Sophia says with her mouth open as many butterflies flew past her. Kate looks at her daughter, she feels bad that she never got to noticed the wonder of nature in her life.
"It really is, but when you see all the wolves in Jasper it will be even more amazing!" She truly tells her. They head past a waterfall, the bright sun was reflecting a bright rainbow down the waterfall. They were shocked and never seen anything like it.
The three wolves continued walking down the woods. They were headed toward a big valley with a nice large lake. The lake was filled with creatures of any kind, from little frogs and turtles to a moose and her little calf getting a drink. They had the perfect view as the waterfall was right in the distance of where they're at. Right now it was the perfect time to take a dip and relax in the water. It was roughly half past noon and the sun was still shining up so there was plenty of daylight now.
"How bout we go for a little swim, what do you think Sophia?" Humphrey says looking at his daughters sky blue eyes.
"I've never been in the water..." She said slowly looking away. Kate walks up to her and puts her paw on her head.
"I'll show you what me and your father used to do at your age. Follow me" Kate said smiling at her little girl as Sophia follows her into the lake.
All three of them head to the shallow part of the lake, from the distance they could see many species of fish and other organisms. Sophia was amazed by the touch of the water and surprisingly it wasn't cold. Sophia slowly walks along the water toward her mother, she was afraid to fall in and the water was about a little less than half way to her body.
"That's it girl. Come to momma" Kate says encouraging her to come to her. She slips on a rock and she plunged with her nose in the water. Kate slowly got her back on her feet and pulled her closer to her. Sophia cracked a laugh, she wasn't afraid of the water anymore.
"I'm okay! I'm not afraid of the water anymore" Sophia says hopping and running around the lake. She was looking down at the fish past her feet and she tried to pick up one with her little jaws. She was really enjoying life down here, much better for her to live in this environment.
Humphrey walks up to Kate as they look at their daughter striding and hopping across the water.
They were slowly adapting Sophia to become familiar with the life down here. Humphrey knew it was right for them to move back to Jasper, it was much better for Sophia.
"I'm so happy she's loving it down here" Humphrey said nuzzling Kate's neck. Kate giggled and let out a little moan before she spoke.
"Ohh Humphrey... I don't know what I'd do without you" She says staring into his eyes and sharing a kiss.
"You still know a few games?" Kate said bringing them out of the make out. She was referring to when they were little pups playing games like tag by the lake.
"An Omega would never forget" Humphrey said as he lightly splashed Kate. Humphrey started laughing as she got a little wet. Little did he know this was a turn on for Kate.
"Ohh Humphrey you're gonna get it so bad" she says seductively as she bites his lip at him. She runs toward him and they splash each other and play fight. Even Kate's soft growls were turning on Humphrey. Kate playfully pinned Humphrey down as she was looking at him with hunger in her eyes.
"Ok Kate, I shouldn't mess with you when you're turned on" Humphrey chuckled. Kate unexpectedly brought him into a kiss. Humphrey savored the moment and made the kiss deeper causing Kate to moan.
"Ohh Humphrey. This is the most fun I've had in a while" she giggled as she looks at him. She noticed his fur was all wet, showing his thick muscular body. She was holding his tight muscular arms and she feels the heat coming from her body. For her it was impossible not to look at and she couldn't help but stare. She gave him a lustful look as she licked the side of his cheek.
"I think we should keep going" Kate said, letting him get up.
"Yea, good talk" Humphrey said as he got up. As soon as he got up, Sophia came behind and splashed both of them with water. Her splash wasn't big, but they played off and began playing with her.
"Oh, I'm gonna get you!" Humphrey chuckled as he began chasing his daughter around the lake.
"You have to catch me first!" Sophia Said looking behind so seeing her father catch up behind. Kate couldn't just watch so she joined in the fun. All three of them were splashing around the lake and enjoying the time of their lives.
Humphrey caught Sophia and Kate helped him gently pin her and they blowing raspberries on her stomach. She was ticklish, and she couldn't move as her parent were holding her laughing.
"Hahaha stop..! Ahahahahaa ok ok!" Sophia Said in defeat looking up at her parents as they smiled down at her.
"Ok sweetie the fun lasted, now we need to get a move on." Kate said picking her up and gently licking her fur like a brush and cleaning her off as they left the lake.
They continued their journey south to Jasper. The sky was more cloudy and thick, and the sky turned from blue to white. So far they haven't noticed any other wolves around her so that's very odd. But that doesn't matter right now becuase they're still trying to get home first. Sophia was resting on Humphreys back taking a little nap as they were walking.
"I wonder if it's the same old Jasper. Hope nothing has changed." Humphrey said breaking the little silence
"Yea. I haven't seen my family in a while. After all I really do miss it." Kate said viewing the trees as birds were up in the branches.
"I wonder how they will react when they see Sophia... especially your mother" Humphrey said with a little laugh. He's always been terrified of Eve. But now he knows that He and Kate are together and her mother can't stop it.
"I don't think she'll care. After all she's the most beautiful living thing ever" Kate said looking at Sophia cuddling by herself.
"Yea. Does your mother know that we are together? I mean... wouldn't she freak out or something?" Humphrey asked nervously. Kate walked closer to Humphrey. There body's were now touching and Kate enterwhined her tail with Humphreys.
"Don't worry, before I left she told me to bring your lover back. She knows that I really loved you and I really needed to be with you." Kate said calmly looking at Humphrey.
"Thanks Kate. For everything." Humphrey said kissing her cheek. She giggled as she spoke up.
"You too. After all, you are the reason Sophia's here with us. You accepted her in our life, and she's thankful for that" Kate said looking at Humphrey with honey in her eyes. She truly sees the wolf she fell in love with the first place.
They stopped walking and quickly shared another kiss, Kate giggled at how forward Humphrey was being, she knows that Humphrey can pull any button to make her feel good. All of a sudden Sophia woke up from her little yawn and caught her parents in the moment. Kate and Humphrey quickly started walking pretending to not know what happened.
"Are we there yet?" Sophia asked as she let out a cute little yawn.
"Almost, we will reach there early tommorow morning and we will need to get rest soon." Humphrey said. They needed to find a den soon, as it was getting a little darker.
As the wolves were walking, they heard gun shots in the distance. It was coming from the left and Humphrey knew exactly what it was. His heart dropped as he heard that same sound that left him a scar.
"What was that?!" Sophia Said as she quietly yelled from the sound. Kate picked up Sophia and bran got closer to her hugging her.
"Follow me, we will be safer through here." Humphrey said as he quickly led them to a path down another way. Kate knew something was up, she was just curious.
"Humphrey, where are we going? And what was that?" Kate said as she started to panic a little. Humphrey stopped and looked at Kate as they were hiding in a bush away from the sound.
"No time to ask. Please be very quiet" Humphrey said in a quiet voice. Sophia was getting scared as she hugged her mother tighter.
"Is it humans?" Kate asked calmly looking at Humphrey. His ears dropped when he heard that word.
"Y-Yes, I don't want another scar like last time..." Humphrey said looking down, clenching Kate's paw bringing her closer to his chest.
"What do you mean?" Kate asked looking up at him. Kate wa surprised Humphrey never told her he had an experience with humans.
"Shh look. Be quiet." He said calmly motioning to the Jeep in the distance. Sophia started shivering quietly, and Kate held her tighter and comforting her. They sat there and listened to what the humans were doing. They got off the Jeep and opened the trunk. Inside it was loaded guns and other weapons like knifes and bows; they were well armed. Humphrey became worried by the look of that gun, it's the same gun that almost killed him.
"You guys got everything?" A man said.
"Yea that's about all, only a couple ducks and one large buck." Another said.
"I don't know, maybe sell it's antlers they're probably worth a fortune."
"Naw, that ain't what we're here for. Keep a look out for wolves, haven't seen any down here." He said. Kate and Humphrey became a little more nervous.
"I saw some down the valley by the lake early this morning , it looked like there were three, two adult and one pup."
"That'd be good. Their fur sell really good on the market, ecspecially the pups" he said snickering as they loaded their guns and had a little beer.
Kate and Humphrey looked at each other. They were in the bush not knowing what to do. Humphrey knows he has to do something. He can't let anything happen to his own family. He looked down at Sophia. "How could someone hurt such an adorable little baby?" He said to himself.
"Kate, we need to get out of here. They're looking for us" Humphrey said.
"How? I don't know what to do" she said whispering back to Humphrey.
"We could make it out past these bushes out in the valley. From the valley leads us toward another forest and we can spend the night there." Humphrey said looking at Kate. Humphrey has never seen Kate afraid like this.
"I'm scared mommy" Sophia Said hugging Kate tighter.
"It's okay. Stay close to mommy and we will make it out." Kate said as she picked up Sophia by the scruff and followed behind Humphrey, leading the way out of the thick bushes into the valley.
"Kate I need to to follow my lead. When I say go we run out into the valley. I need do two things. Hold Sophia tightly and do NOT look back okay?" Humphrey said getting closer to Kate.
"Okay." Kate nodded. Humphrey brought Kate And Sophia into a kiss and a warm hug.
"It's okay. We can make it out. Trust me." Humphrey said. Kate was now waiting for the signal. The Jeep soon leaves and Humphrey was waiting for the moment.
"And...NOW!" He said as he jolts out of the bush and runs straight toward the valley. Kate clenched Sophia by the jaw and follows Humphreys lead. Her heart was pounding and Sophia became to cry softly. Kate felt so bad, she never knew she would have to come across this ever again. She got shot before and that was with tranquilizers, now these are real bullets and they are big time poachers.
"Don't look back kate. Keep running ahead." Humphrey said next to me. Kate was getting tired, they were close to the forest until they heard gun shots. Kate and Humphrey heard two bullets fly past them with great force. She yelped and ducked as they sprinted even faster. Her legs began dreading a little but she didn't give up. She's never ran this fast before, mostly because she's running for her life. The shots were loud and Sophia was crying even louder.
"It's okay Kate! Don't look back! Keep running" Humphrey Yelled as more bullets were grazing down the feild. Kate was really afraid, mostly because she didn't want to lose Sophia. They entered their way into the thick forest and kept on running. To them it felt like hours and hours of running and they were exhausted. They found a little burrow behind a huge rock, hidden away from the valley so the poachers wouldn't find them. Kate and Humphrey were tired as they fell down in exhaustion. Sophia ran to her father and hugged him. Humphrey looked at Sophia in relief and then at Kate. He hugged them both and kissed them on the forehead.
"Wow... we made it..." He said looking at Kate with very tired eyes.
Kate's heart was pounding a million beats a second. Sophia came up and hugged Kate tightly. Kate hugged back tighter at her daughter not wanting to let go. She couldn't believe those humans wanted to kill poor inocent baby pups.
"You're okay Sophia. We made it out alive" Kate said with a smile, wiping her daughters tears away.
She looked up and smiled at her mother.
"Thank you for saving me...again" She said to her parents as she kisses them and heads fo sleep snuggling with her mother. Humphrey comes behind Kate spooning her and wrapping his arms around her body. He shivers vanished at the touch of his fur and she looked up to him.
"Thank You, you saved us again" Kate said pecking his cheek.
"Naturally" he said with a chuckle.
"Of course" Kate said with a giggle. Humphrey decided he had to tell her about the human incessant he had months earlier. It was a Moment that left him shocking. So he decided to tell her right now.
"This wasn't my only human encounter Kate" he said as Kate looks at him astonished.
"What do you mean?" She said curiously.
"I've had other encounters. Mostly where I got these scars from" he said motioning to the scar on his chest.
"How did his happen?!" Kate said wanting to know what happened.
"This happened before I met Sophia. Actually almost two weeks after I left Jasper. It was in this exact area and these humans have been here all around. They're mostly looking for wolves, not for our meat but for our fur. Especially pups since they're more valuable." He Stops And takes a deep breath.
"It's okay Humphrey, you can tell me" Kate said staring into his eyes.
Flashback
Humphrey's POV
I was looking for food one morning, and then I see a red Jeep. Later two people hop out of the car holding rifles. I get closer to see what they were doing. I was not at the top of the hill looking down at them. I wasn't sure what they were doing here, I mean it was almost winter and all the animals are hibernating.
As they were loading and cocking their rifles I accidentally snapped a branch and they faced directly toward me. I took a step back and barked and growled at them. As soon as they did that they pointed their guns directly toward me and fired two shots. I quickly duck and run down the opposite hill from where I was, it was a close call but now I need to get out of there sight. I was running faster and harder, I wasn't fully trained as an alpha and I was still a weak little omega.
"Take the shot!" I heard them say.
My heart was beating faster and faster. I had to make my move, so I quickly make a sharp turn left and the shot misses and hits a branch. Man, the shots were so loud they can be heard from miles away. I didn't want to look back, but I wanted to see where they were, so I peek my head out and look slitghtly left.
That's when I saw him aiming toward me. He took the shot, and the bullet grazed my chest and all the way to my shoulder leaving a scar. I howled in pain, i couldn't run faster anymore my pain was unbearable. That's when I slipped on a tree branch and I tumbled down to a hidden path under the tree and snow, looking above to see the hunters running past me. I look at the path and I see the blood was trailing on behind me.
I didn't know what to do. I was hungry, scared, alone, freezing, and in pain. I stayed there for the night, hoping to not come across them again. The blood stopped dripping since it was freezing. I was glad the bullet didn't actually hit me, but it would've been better if it missed me completely. All these thoughts around my head made me dizzy, so I decided to take a rest and hopefully forget about what happened. If I could.
Flashback ends
"It took me almost a week to patch up and slightly stitch this scar up. It was definitely one of the hardest weeks out there." Humphrey said motioning to his big scar on his chest.
"Oh my. How come you never told me about this? Does she know?" Kate said whispering back holding her paw on his tight muscular chest.
"No she doesn't. I don't want to scare her or anything. I also didn't want you to worry about me. For the past couple days was the most amazing thing ever and I didn't want you to worry about it." Humphrey said looking directly into her honey eyes.
"I'm glad you're feeling better. We should get some sleep. GoodNight " Kate said kissing his cheek.
"GoodNight Kate" Humphrey said nuzzling Kate's neck. Kate giggled and they both fall asleep.
The next day they all woke up. Humphrey wanted to forget about what happened and he wanted to keep on heading towards Jasper. They looked out the burrow and noticed no one was out so they continued their journey home so Jasper. It wasn't far away but it was quite the walk. They were hungry and needed food. The wolves noticed deer in the open valley and decided to take their moment. Kate stayed with Sophia as Humphrey went to take it down. He eventually took it down and killed it. They all ate their breakfast until they were satisfied and moved on. They headed past thick woods, open feilds and valleys, lakes and waterfalls. They even crossed a giant log that was a bridge across the pond.
"Are we there yet?" Sophia said dragging along behind her parents.
"Yes we are almost there" Kate said looking back at her smiling. Sophia had a big grin on her face as she ran past her parents with a joyful expression.
"Excited little girl isn't she" Humphrey said slightly bumping Kate. Kate cracked laugh at Humphrey and then looked back at Sophia.
"Who wouldn't be excited. Going to a place full of wolves and food everywhere. No more war and violence. Just peace and silence around." Kate said looking back at Humphrey. He was silent just looking at Sophia hopping around the path chasing butterflies.
"I'd love to know what you're thinking" Kate said laying her head on his shoulder as they walked.
"I'm thinking, of how lucky I am to find such a beautiful wolf, and bring another one in my life" Humphrey said looking at Kate giving her a kiss.
Kate smiled widely bringing her tongue in the mix. Humphrey couldn't take it and he gently pinned her down. Humphrey held her forelegs tight as Kate let out a moan. Humphrey's weight was now on Kate's and they continued to kiss. Humphrey went for the neck making Kate close her eyes and moan.
"Ohh, Humphrey... wait.. what about mmmph" Kate tried to warm Humphrey about Sophia but he make the kiss deeper. Kate was liking his forward actions and wanted to continue. But not with Sophia around. Humphrey stopped the kiss and grinned down at Kate.
"Sorry Kate, I couldn't take it." Humphrey said chuckling.
"Me neither. We should keep moving" Kate said as Humphrey let her get up. Sophia was in the distance looking at a sign.
"Mom, dad what does this say?" Sophia asked tilting her head looking at the poster. Kate and Humphrey has wide eyes as they looked at each other.
"Honey, that say's "welcome to Jasper Park" Humphrey said smiling at her and back at Kate.
"We are here?! Yay!" Sophia Said happily, making laps around her parents. Kate giggled knowing how happy she is to be here.
"I'm glad she's happy" Humphrey said.
"Yea" Kate said dreamingly looking into his eyes.
They enterwhined their tails and continued walking down Jasper Park. Sophia followed along next to them. They were finally home.
