Chapter Three(3)-Regrets...Yeah Right

Author's Note: I've got some good news people. I got some ideas of how to drastically extend this story to more than just three or four chapters. :D Of course, you'll have to read on to find out how. Anyway, here is chapter three. Thank you all for your support thus far. I greatly appreciate it.

Jasper Park, Canada-Western Territory of the Unified Packs: Humphrey, Winston, and Garth-11:39:02 Hours(11:39 A.M.)

On both sides of the valley, the packs had been taking the day slow and peaceful. Winston, Eve, and Tony ordered the alphas, betas, and even deltas to work double yesterday so everyone could rest today. They had ample food, so there would be no hunting today. The only duties they had were just scouting with some deltas.

Kate had left the den fifteen minutes minutes ago to meet with an eastern alpha and two western deltas. She had woken up Humphrey so he would be aware of her duties. Of course she had left without a single word to her father. She and her group were assigned to scouting the southern border of the territory along with another group of five. They had about twenty minutes left before rotating shifts.

Meanwhile...

Humphrey was wide awake now, and was about to leave the den when Winston stopped him. "Humphrey, I need to speak with you about what happened yesterday." He stopped and turned to face his superior, obviously angry. "What is there to talk about Winston? You hid a secret from your daughter, and now she isn't speaking to you. You had the leader of another pack that used to be our rivals give me my death sentence. You also hid the fact that I would be fighting Barf, and you didn't have the cajones to tell me and Kate of what was going to happen until fucking yesterday afternoon! What can we possibly speak about?!"

The alpha, completely taken by surprise, couldn't say anything. He already knew what he did was wrong. He felt bad enough already. In addition, he told them he didn't have a choice, when in reality he had the final say. Humphrey realized what he had just said and done. He sighed. "I apologize sir, but can you just...leave it alone until later?" Winston nodded and turned around, facing the wall again and lying down.

The omega walked out of the den and headed down the slope. He decided to just hang out with his friends until Kate returned. However, he didn't know that a certain wolf happened to be in the area. This wolf was going to make him angrier than Winston ever could, for reason he would never understand.

Garth P.O.V.

I had decided to take a break from working out, and wanted to visit the Western territory. It's not like I was there much anyway. Lilly usually stayed with me in my temporary den. I was actually starting to take a liking to that organic mindset, and was thinking about moving into some tall grass soon. I don't know.

Anyway, I had passed the creek separating the two groups of us wolves, and was approaching the main dens. As I walked through the forest I looked around. It was way nicer than the East, but that was my home so I can't badmouth it. Everything was so green and lively. I did enjoy the beautiful scenery, however it's not what I came...actually it is. I wanted to meet some of the other wolves as well if I was going to help lead the packs one day. It pays off to know people on the other side.

About a minute later I arrived at the center of the western territory, some of the wolves casting confused glances. I paid no mind to it though, as they wouldn't do that forever. Even with all of the thoughts of the future on my mind, one wolf popped into my head. I kind of feel bad for being rude to Humphrey in the past. I don't really know if he was being rude, or if he was just trying to be funny. He is an omega after all, just like Lilly. However, I can never let him know that. I don't wanna apologize and look soft.

Who the hell am I kidding? I have to say something, since it could be the last time we see the other alive. He's like a brother to me. A brother that I can't stand sometimes, but nonetheless, a brother. I didn't have time to think anymore, as I saw him coming down the slope of the head alpha's den. 'Think damn it, think.'

Humphrey P.O.V.

After I exited the den and walked down the ramp, I saw him. I had thought about being nice, but instantly thought about being intimidating him, or at least being rude. Of course the latter won, being more dominant than my submissive side. I unintentionally growled before approaching him. "Hey Barf," I said with distaste. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be prepping your antlers moose?" I saw him go from an average look to one of anger.

"What did you just say to me coyote? I'm surprised you didn't try to steal a real wolf's kill yesterday. Oh yeah that's right, you're a weakling. That's all you'll ever be." Oh, he would regret that. "Look here Barf. I don't care what you say to me. I know that you can't back up the talk. You're all muscle with no brains to use it." He growled and simply said, "We'll settle this tomorrow omega. I can't wait to beat you." As he walked away I thought of something equally good. "Indeed we will settle this. I look forward to seeing the alpha beg for his scraps during feasts."

With that he walked away faster, back towards the East. 'Wow, what an asshole. Well, I was a little rude. Oh well, he should've been able to handle it. I can't wait until tomorrow.' I broke off from my thoughts and returned to trying to find my friends.

Garth P.O.V.

'I can't believe that dick. Why would he ever talk to me like that? I can't wait to put that pathetic omega in his place. And to believe that I was starting to regret what I had said before. Yeah right. We'll see how tough he is tomorrow.' I decided I was done in the West for today, and was on my way back home.

A/N: I know, short chapter. Kate will return next chapter and talk with her father. The fight comes the chapter after the next one. I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter. Let me know what you thought about it. -Whiskey
