Back at Jasper Lilly was starting to become upset about her sister, and brother in law, being gone for a long time now. So were her parents, and her mate Garth.

Infact the whole pack was getting pack, practically getting worried.

Not to mention Salty, Shakey, and Mooch, were getting worried, even some of the Eastern wolves. But what else was there to do, they searched that damn forest, possibly a thousand times, and still had no sign of them.

Connor, Humphrey, and Kate have been going through the forest for what seemed like several hours. But none of them, were letting their aching paws get the best of them, not even Connor, considering, he really wanted to bring them home, so he'll feel good about doing a great thing, plus he secretly wanted to see what Jasper even looked like.

"Do think we're getting close?" Humphrey asked. "No idea" Connor admitted.

"By the way... I know this is probably random, but how did you two end together, anyway?" Connor asked.

"It's a pretty long story" Humphrey replied.

"Ya, well we aren't really going away from each other" Connor said. Humphrey giggled. Him and Kate started telling everything that happened, from them being transferred from Idaho, and Humphrey even said about how much he loved her, even before all that.

"Great macentoss… You two sure have been through a hell a lot, of bloody crap together" Connor replied. Humphrey and Kate both nodded.

THAT NIGHT!

Jasper was starting to go to sleep. Garth cuddled close to Lilly, who was still a little upset about Kate and Humphrey being gone.

Connor, Humphrey, and Kate. Found a comfy spot to rest. Humphrey lied down, quickly falling asleep.

But Kate noticed Connor, still was awake, staring into space. "you coming down to rest, or not?" Kate asked him. Connor didn't reply.

"Something wrong sweetie?" She asked. "No, I'm fine" he replied.

They both looked at Humphrey, who was still asleep.

"I still can't believe he did all that, just to be with me… I wasn't even nice to him, ever since returning from Alpha school… What could be so good about me?" Kate thought out loud. "I don't know, but, you're beautiful… I could give you that much" Connor replied. Kate gave a warm smile, she even kissed his cheek.

"What about you… Any girls you like, or anything?" Kate asked. Connor shook his head. "Are you sure… What about the girl from before?" Kate asked. "You mean Mandy?" Connor asked, abit surprised. "Ya, she seemed pretty" Kate replied. "I… Guess" Connor said weakly. "What do you mean you guess… Do you like her or not?" Kate asked. Connor nodded, but did shyly. "You should ask her out sometime" Kate said. "I tried a few times, but considering she's the ONLY girl of the whole pack, I was usually beaten to it" Connor replied. Kate didn't reply. "Besides, why would she want to go out with me... Why would ANYONE want to go out with, me?" Connor said, starting to get himself, a little upset. "Well your charming, and seem to be big hearted" Kate replied, softly. "Maybe… But are you sure it's enough?" He asked sadly. Kate had trouble answering. "I… I need a moment" Connor said, getting himself, even more upset. "Well, I'm going to bed then" Kate said, laying next to Humphrey.
