Chapter 4: The Heart Break
"What happened to him!?" I say as I look at Kail on the ground, he had a huge gash down his side. Kate looks up.
"Oh, Humphry. Thank goodness your here" She says running to me. " He got ambushed by a group of wolfs."
"Northern wolfs?" I ask.
"What else. We need to get him to the med clinic," she says.
"Hunch, find the one who did this and kill them. Kate, where did this take place?" I ask.
"At the border," she replies.
"That's where you start. Kate, let's get him help before he bleeds out!" I say
(Time-skip)
We were at the medics den for a while. "Hey, Kate, I got to go get a drink. Inform me when I come back." I tell her as I go to the pond nearby. I got a couple sips and came on back. "What did they say?" I ask.
"Devin said he had a good chance of making it, but he would have to stay here for a while." She replied.
"Well, at least he's doing ok," I say. That's when Hunch came back with news on the unknown wolf who did this.
"Sir, I found out who did this. But I can't find them." He says.
"Well, who is it?" I ask.
"Those wolfs who chased us, it was at the border and that's where they stopped. I think they mistook him for you," he says.
"I don't care who he mistook it for, I want him dead. Find and kill him."
"Yes, sir!" He says.
"And don't call me, sir," I tell him.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Ah, you know what, sir's fine," I tell him as he bolts off. "Kate, we better get going home, it's late."
"Yeah," She agreed as we went off. On our walk, Kate could tell I was not happy.
"Humprey, what's wrong?" She asks.
"Huh, oh nothing. It's just, I'm tired of this leader stuff, it puts out a lot of stress. I never had a good puppyhood, I went through problems as a teen wolf, and I always expected to have fun as an adult, have alphas look after me. But I never expected to marry the leader's daughter. I look back at it all, and I see how much my life sucks." I tell her.
"Humprey, listen. Life isn't life without having ups and downs you're going to have bad weeks or years, then you going to have good ones. You're going to come across problems and you going to come across solutions. It's all in how you cherish it. If you actually think about it, if you didn't have a bad puppyhood, you would have never met me." She says.
"I guess your right, but, it doesn't feel right," I say.
"Trust me, I'm right. Have I ever been wrong?" She says.
"You made me jump off a cliff," I say.
"Have I ever been wrong twice?"
"I had to fight a bear!" I say.
"Are you still breathing!?" she asked, irritated.
"I guess."
"Well, that's good enough for me. Now come crawl in this nice comfy bed," she says, but I know that, Now come crawl in this nice comfy bed, translates to, Come lay on this rock hard, bumpy, cold, den floor.
"I love to," I say as I slowly fall asleep.
(Morning)
"Hey, Humphrey..." I hear at the edge of the den. It was Hunch.
"Yeah, Hunch?" I say.
"Good news and bad news. Good news: I took care of that job, that wolf is no more. Bad news: Their leader moved the war date and there are about 40 wolfs outside.
Well, what do you think? What will happen to Kail? What will happen to Humphrey? How will the war go? Only one way to find out! I hope you all had s great last year, and if you didn't, I hope this one is even better. Have a Happy New Year and...
Peace!
