Chapter 2 Humprey's preoccupation

Hi guys. I'm finally back to work on this story...I know, had passed ten months since I published the first chapter because I was busy with other stories.

By the way. I hope you like it

The wolf couple went to get their puppies at school. As soon as the three puppies saw their parents jumped on them playfully.

Stinky, Runt, Claudette: "hi mom, hi dad!"

Kate, Humphrey: "hi pups!"

After a bit of pampering the pups raised their parents and went with them to the way home. As they walked Runt was telling how the day had gone to school.

Kate: "so. how was the day?"

Runt: "good. The teacher told us about the migrations of the birds, but the most interesting part was when she told us the legend of the king wolf of Jasper Park"

Kate just heard the word "king wolf" sighed as if a distant memory of someone she knew had returned in her mind.

Claudette: "is there something wrong?"

Kate: "no. It's all right Claudette"

Humphrey saw that his beloved had a sadly thoughtful face, so he decided to make her smile by changing the subject of something happy. And he succeeded.

Humphrey: "byyyyyyy the way. Pups, today your mother and I have good news for you"

Stinky: "really?"

Kate: "yes, but we'll talk about it when we get home"

The wolf family returned to their cave. Stinky, Runt and Claudette couldn't wait to hear the great news that Kate and Humprey had for them.

Stinky: "So Mom, what will be the surprise of today?"

Kate: "hmm ... let's see if you can guess"

Claudette: "will we go on vacation again?"

Kate: "no"

Runt: "Will Aunt Lilly and Uncle Garth visit us?"

Humphrey: "maybe. But this is not exactly the great news"

The pups did not want to spend too much time guessing what this "big" news had been, so they decided to give up immediately.

Stinky: "ok, we give up"

Kate: "fine. from tomorrow, your father and I will become the new leader of the pack"

The pups could not believe their ears. They certainly didn't expect such news, their parents will finally become the new leaders of the west pack. Now they had one more reason to be proud, they knew that they had cool parents, but not so much.

All three pups began to jump with joy and howling happily, Kate and Humphrey smiled at seeing their pups happy and proud.

Humphrey: "then. Are you happy?"

Runt: "I would say much more than happy"

Stinky: "we're all super excited"

Claudette: "this is the best news ever!"

Soon after, Kate and Humprey were overwhelmed by the embrace of their pups .

Humphrey, however, didn't want to pretend to be happy, in fact he felt very worried. He would have been the first, and probably the only, omega to become the leader of a pack, which was completely absurd and embarrassing for the pack. Who knows how his friends and the whole pack would have reacted?

That night...

Humphrey tried to sleep, but how could he with all those thoughts in his mind?

Humphrey's mind: "why I can't think of anything else? ... maybe watching the stars can help me"

The young omega stood up and headed out of the cave , no longer realize that his beloved became aware of him and she was was following him. Humphrey sat down and started to looking the stars.

Meanwhile, Kate saw Humprey with a worried face and decided to go and comfort him.

Humphrey since he was a pup, he used to watch the stars when he was a little sad or when he needed to distract himself when something tormented him. Somehow watching the stars and feeling the breeze of the mild summer wind relaxed him. Humphrey was starting to feel better, but suddenly Kate's voice broke the silence.

Kate: "is it all right Humphrey?"

The omega turned and saw Kate behind him, and perhaps she had already realized something was wrong. Apparently it didn't help saying that it was all right, so it was time to tell the truth.

Humphrey: * sigh * "Kate. Tomorrow I don't want to become the leader"

Kate: "why?"

Humphrey: "I am an omega. If I became a leader I would be the shame of the whole pack and then it's a big responsibility that I would not be able to keep ... I'm sorry Kate, but I'm not suitable for this new role"

The alpha instead didn't think so. He gave a hug to her beloved omega and began to tell him sweet words.

Kate: "this is not true Humphrey. I would never be ashamed of you just because you are an omega, if tomorrow I will become a leader with you I would be the happiest alpha in the world, and do you know why? ... because I love you with all my heart, and I'm sure that even the our puppies are proud of you. You can also be an omega, an alpha, a delta or a gamma. But I only know the Humphrey that I fell in love long ago"

Humprey was almost moved by Kate's words, they were very sweet words that filled his heart with joy and made him forget his previous concern .

Humprey: "thanks Kate, it was very sweet of you"

Kate: "Well, this is the truth. Come on, let's go back to sleep, tomorrow there will be a very important ceremony for us"

After kissing and lovingly nuzzling each other, the wolf couple came back into their cave near their pups and Humprey fell asleep with a small smile on his face.
