Revelations

I awoke with a start after having the same damn nightmare that had haunted me for those two years. To explain it simply: I was just me watching 'their' wedding but it scared me all the same. After remembering that I wasn't in my den back in Idaho but in Jasper I stepped out to get a drink of water. On my way towards the river that still held some many memories from my past life here, I heard the obvious whispers that question who I was and why I was here. Apparently they needed to know the answers because one such wolf came up to me and asked me who I was. "My name is Roman, and I am the newest member of your pack." After I said this they all seemed pretty shocked but soon that changed and they all greeted me with joy. The day played out that way until Winston gave the speech about my entrance into the pack. After that everything seemed to settle down so I made my way back to my den for some much needed rest. The next day I was once again thirsty, so I made my way too the river again.

I was nearing the river when I heard voices, one of which I hadn't heard or wanted to hear in two years. "Have you seen that new wolf, he is such a hunk." One of 'Her' friends said as she looked up into the sky, which I presumed meant that she was thinking of me. What me old love said in response made me fear for my identity: "He seems so familiar, like I've seen him before." Luckily her friends weren't suspicious like her. "What are you talking about?" Thank you whoever you are. "I don't know, I just feel like I know him." They walked past the bush I was hiding in and continued on down the path I had come down a few minutes ago. "Holy shit that was close, fuck." After that little scare I was quite parched so I made my way over to the river to finally get that drink. As I satisfied one natural need another one reared its head. My stomach growled its disapproval and I realized I didn't eat anything yesterday. I was faced with two options: one was to go to the feeding grounds and eat whatever the hunting group was able to catch or hunt something for myself. I always preferred to eat food that I myself had killed, rather than some stupid alpha's kill.

I had my answer and I was off for the hunt. With my enhanced senses I was able to pick up the smell of a caribou relatively quickly, and once I got close enough for him to hear me I crouched into the foliage. I slowly made my way over to him, watching for twigs in my path that would give away my position. I had finally made it close enough to pounce and only had to wait for an opportunity presented itself. 'Yeah come on pop your fucking neck out' I thought as my body screamed the same thing. Finally after what seemed like forever he raised his neck and I seized the opportunity. Springing from the undergrowth and clamping my jaws down on his fragile neck, I was rewarded with a warm trickle of blood flooding into my mouth. I held his neck until he stopped moving and dragged him all the way back to my den. Now with both my natural needs covered I was at a loss with what to do, I never really had spare time during my time as a lone wolf. Then it hit me, something I had been neglecting for the past two days, my workout routine.

I found a good position and started my log scouts, once I was done I decided that my next workout would be to run around the park a few times. After completing my run I was tuckered out to say the least, so I made my way back to my den for some much needed sleep. I got back to my den and found the perfect resting position and quickly slipped into the void.

I awoke rather violently to the jerking of a train. At first I had no idea why I was on a train let alone how I got there, but soon discovered that I wasn't alone. Sleeping a little too close for comfort was my beautiful Kate. 'Wait what, 'My? Beautiful?' Why the hell was I thinking like that, unless? 'No I thought I got rid of those feelings ages ago, I can't after everything that's happened still harbor these kind of feelings for her. Could I still love her?' Absolutely not, I wouldn't let myself love her, and even if I did it would just lead me to being heartbroken again. I noticed that the moon was full tonight and decided to take a risk. I walked over to the opening and sat back on my hind legs. I couldn't help but stare at the breathtaking view in the sky, the urge to howl was seeping into my body. I simply couldn't resist and leaned my head back to release my feelings into the crisp night air. To my surprise they weren't of heartbreak or depression but rather thee hope that I would be able to share a deep secret with someone. "Humphrey, what are you doing?" 'Well look who's up' "Kate your awake, I was just howling cause you know, the moon, the moment, actually it would be way better if you joined me though." Why was acting this way towards the person whom took my heart and crushed it? She stared at me for a few seconds before making her way over to me. "Alright, but you start." I tilted my head back and let out the best howl I could muster. I stopped for a second to catch my breath and apparently Kate saw this because when I started again she was right there with me. Our howls mixed together into a breathtaking duet, and once we stopped we just stared into each other's eyes to see what the other felt about what just happened.

I can safely say that my feeling on the subject were strictly positive, and I realized that this would be the best time to tell her. 'Tell her what?' I screamed from the backseat because I had no control over my actions. "Kate I've been meaning to tell you something." I said awkwardly as I scratched the back of my head. "Yes, what is it Humphrey?" she said this with a look in her I that I could only describe as hope. "Well you see we've known each other since pup-hood and these last few days alone with you have been the best days of my life. You see Kate what I'm trying to tell you is that I-I-I l-love you. Kate I love you." 'What? Oh fuck no!' "I love you too Humphrey, I think I have for a long time now." 'Wait what? This didn't fucking happen!' As this thought ran through my head the scenery started to distort and change. After it stopped I could see myself sitting inside a den sleeping with Kate curled up next to me. 'What's that in between us?' 'That Humphrey, is your pup, a pup that you had with Kate.' 'Who's there?' I yelled in my mind as I turned around to see no one there. 'Calm down, I am merely your subconscious, and my job is to tell you that you have done something wrong, very wrong.' 'What do you mean wrong?' This was starting to scare me. 'This is what would have happened had you told Kate your feelings toward her when you had the chance.' 'W-what the hell are you talking about, she had to marry that prick.' 'You fool, she would have explained the situation to everyone so that they would understand.' 'What about the packs, they would have goon to war!' They have been united under Garth and Lily's marriage.' 'Garth and Lily? And what do you mean have?' 'They developed feelings for each other when you and Kate were in Idaho, and they got married in your timeline as well' 'What? Wait does that mean Kate never got married?' 'Yes, she never got married because she loved you, and when you so selfishly left she was devastated. Even now she still hasn't fully recovered.' 'S-s-she loved me?' 'Of course she loved you, and she still does, even though she has no idea where you are.' 'She still loves me? Yes! I'm not sure I still love her though.' 'Don't kid yourself, you never stopped loving her.' 'Y-you're right, I never did. No matter how much I tried to stop loving her, I just couldn't' 'And now you been given a second chance with her. So please, for both are sakes, make this one count.' 'I will I swear it!' 'Well then it is time you wake up."

I slowly opened my eyes and met then sunlight outside my den with a new level of determination. I was going to tell what I hadn't been able to all that time ago.

A/N: Thank you, for waiting for my lazy self to get this chapter up. To all those who reviewed my first chapter, I thank you.

Well I can't really help you with that last one but if there is any way you feel I could improve the story, tell me in a review or don't and just act like I don't exist.
