Humphrey's POV-
"Okay, I just want to say this before we begin. I just wanna eat my lunch and get out of here, got it?" I said to my ex-crush, looking her deeply in the eye,
"Well, I'm afraid that isn't going to happen," She said, replying back just as bodly,
"And why is that so," I said, trying to act tough,
"Last time I checked, this is your punishment and you must stay here till it's over," She replied back with a smirk,
She got me there,
"And I have a few questions to ask you also," She said,
"Ok, hit me with it," I replied back, trying to play it off like it was nothing,
"What pack are you from?" She asked me,
'I should've known she would ask me things like this,' I thought,
I decided I needed to act tough,
"I come from a pack where it's every wolf for themself, where we only work out, and where we hunt bears everyday," I said,
She was shocked by that remark,
"Okay, next question, would you want to become part of this pack?" She asked me,
I was about to say no, but then I remembered that my family is dead and I have nowhere to go,
"I guess," I said,
Even though I'd have to see Kate and Garth everyday, I will be protected and that's what matters most right now,
"Okay, then later today or tomorrow, you can talk with my Dad, he will ask you more questions," Kate said,
'Good, that will give me some time to think,' I thought,
"The serious chat is over now, so you can start eating," She said, noticing how I wasn't eating,
I blushed super hard while she just giggled,
"So tell me, Easton, a little bit about your life," Kate said in between bites,
'Quick! Think!' I thought to myself,
Then, I got it,
I remembered a song I heard on the radio while being a Lone Wolf,
"I'm just city boy, born and raised in South Detroit, I took this midnight train going anywhere," I said to her,
"Interesting," She said, but looked bored out of her mind,
"What about you, Kate, what's your life like," I asked her,
I honestly didn't care, but I didn't wanna be rude,
"This may take a while, but here I go. I was born as the Pack Leader's daughter, I was supposed to be the first in line to inherit the postion. I had met this one great guy, his name was Humphrey. He was sweet, kind, and caring, but most of all, I had a HUGE crush on him. I was gonna ask him to the moonlight howl, but then I learned that Alphas and Omegas can't be more than friends, and he was an Omega. So, I had to try and hide my feelings. I figured going to Alpha School would help me, but, it just made me appreciate him even more. He was the only guy, not including my Dad, that would make me feel good about myself. I knew however, if we became a thing, we would get banished and possibly executed. That was the only reason how I could hold back my love for him. When I got back from Alpha School, I was forced to go to the moonlight howling and later on marry Garth. Garth was the one who you got in a fight with. Anyway, then one way or another, I got sent to Idaho with, would you know it, Humphrey. We were there to 'repopulate'. I was so determined to get back that, for most of the trip, I completely ignored my crush. However, we bonded more and more throughout the trip, and my feelings were as strong as ever for him. I was gonna tell him, but I saw the packs fighting and had to stop it. Sadly, the only way to do that was to marry Garth, who I didn't like at all. Then, before the marriage was sealed, I didn't marry Garth and confessed about my love, Humphrey. Then, later on, he would turn out to be dead, probably because of me," She said, then she started to pour out rivers of tears,
I didn't believe what I just heard,
"Did you like him?" I asked her,
"I didn't like him. I loved him," She said,
I was estatic because Kate likes me, but sad because she may be mad at me and Alphas and Omegas can't be together or bad things will happen, like what Kate said,
'But do I like her, after everything she has done?' I thought,
I didn't know what to do or say, but to add to the chaos, I saw a raging Eve running at me...with full force.
Kate's POV-
I had just burst out tears when I thought and talked about Humphrey. I had heard a scream saying,
"How dare you hurt my daughter!" It was my Mom,
"No Mom!" I screamed, she may kill him with that Mom rage,
I tried to stop her, but it was no use, I thought he was a goner,
Then, I witnessed a miracle, I saw Easton fight back against Mom,
Not only did he fight back against her, he won,
My Mom was laying on the floor, pinned by Easton,
"He didn't hurt me!" I screamed to her,
"Then why were you crying?!" She asked me, still not convinced,
"I was crying because I just remembered about Humphrey," I told her,
She then looked Easton directly in his eyes,
"This isn't over yet," She said to him,
"MOM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I screamed at her, realizing what just happened,
"It's just that I thought he made you cry," She screamed at me,
"He would never hurt me, right Easton?" I said,
"Correct," He said to me,
"Yeah, Mom. Easton would never lie," I said,
"Well actually, that's not true," Easton said, letting go of my Mom,
"What do you mean," I asked, completely confused,
"There is something I need to tell you. Meet me tommorow at my den. My den is where Humphrey's den was. Come alone or else I'm not gonna tell, and believe me, you're gonna want me to tell you," Easton said,
Then, without saying another word, he took of running,
'How does he know where Humphrey's old den is? Should I go?,' I thought to myself,
"That boy is crazy to think that you would go," My Mom said,
'She was right, who knows what could happen if I trust him,' I thought,
"Honey, I know what you're thinking. You're not going," She said to me in a motherly tone,
'But it must be serious if he knows where Humphrey's den is,' I thought,
"Okay," I said to her, but I was convinced I was gonna go,
Going would be a decision I would not regret.
