I will hopefully be able to get one chapter out per day. I'm going to start on another story soon. Now enjoy chapter 4 of The Return.
A month had passed since the day Aaron had apologized to Kate for his behaviors towards her relationship with Humphrey. Kate would talk to him daily and he would occasionally get a greeting from Humphrey even though they both didn't really like each other. Aaron didn't like Humphrey because he was mates with Kate and Kate was supposed to be his mate according to him. Humphrey didn't like Aaron because he didn't trust him and thought he was up to something. Kate would spent about one to two hours a day with Aaron and the rest of the day with Humphrey. Humphrey was okay with Kate spending about two hours a day with Aaron but Aaron was angry that after a whole month she wasn't spending more time with him. He was angry at how slow things were going between him and her.
"If I could just take out Humphrey, Kate would spend all the time she spends with Humphrey with me." Aaron thought with a smile on his face. He was determined to spend more time with Kate tonight because it was the moonlight howl.
Humphrey
I walked into my den to see Kate sleeping in the back of the den. She looked kind of cold so I decided to walk up to her and laid down right next to her. I eventually drifted off into sleep while feeling the warmth that came off of Kate.
When I woke up I saw that Kate wasn't laying down but was now sitting up and staring at me. When she saw that I was waking up she smiled and helped me up.
"Morning handsome." Kate said while looking into Humphrey's loving blue eyes.
"Good morning Kate." I said as I got up, stretched and looked outside to see it was about midday.
"Hey, Kate, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the moonlight howl with me tonight." Humphrey said with a smile knowing Kate would say yes.
"Of course Humphrey, how could I say no to you?" Kate said with excitement. She had a smile from ear to ear as she got up and walked out of the den to go get ready for tonight.
Kate
Kate was walking towards the pond to get ready for tonight. On her walk all she could think about was Humphrey and how lucky she was to have him. After a ten minute walk she showed up at the pond and saw Aaron in the shallow water washing himself.
"Hey Aaron." Kate said making Aaron jump slightly.
"Oh, hey Kate. What brings you here?" Aaron replied.
"I was going to wash up for the moonlight howl tonight." Kate said as she walked into the pond and started to wash herself.
"Oh, so you have a date then?" Aaron replied knowing that she was probably going with Humphrey.
"Yes. I'm going with Humphrey. Do you have a date?" Kate asked.
"Um, no, I was just going to go by myself and see how it went." Aaron replied slightly sad that he wasn't going with Kate
"It's nice that you're going at least. And don't worry you will find a mate one day." She said.
After about one minute Aaron got out of the water and walked back to his den. Once he got inside he stood in the back day dreaming about what Kate's howl would sound like and how his howl would probably mix with hers perfectly.
Humphrey
Humphrey was also getting ready for the moonlight howl. He went and washed himself in the pond about fifteen minutes after Kate had finished washing herself. Humphrey finished up by having Lilly help him comb his fur.
"Lilly, are you going to the moonlight howl?" Humphrey said wanting to know if she was going with Garth.
"Yup, Garth asked me earlier today." She said with a smile.
"Thanks for helping me with my fur Lilly." Humphrey said with a small smile.
"Anytime." Lilly replied with an even bigger smile than before.
By the time Humphrey had helped Lilly with her fur it was almost time to go to the midnight howl and they both walked towards Hollowing Rock to meet up with their mates.
What will happen during the midnight howl? Will Aaron impress Kate with his Howl? Find out next time on The Return. If any of you have any ideas for chapters and you would like me to use them please tell me and I will give you a shout out if I use it. Yes I know this is the shortest chapter yet. I will make a longer chapter eventually.
