Well first of i have to say sorry for the wait, but between school and sports I haven't had much time to myself and on top of that I'm having some major writers block. Anyways this is what I managed to get together in my 20 minutes of free time, it may not seem like much but its pretty important. Hope you enjoy!

New Faces

Humphrey was still in shock as he sat in the middle of a wide open meadow with it's long grass swaying in the breeze. Stars shone brightly above his head twinkling in the pitch black sky while the thought of being a chosen one still rolled and churned around in his mind like a violent sea. Winston had said Humphrey had inherited Sebastian's powers which explained the strange things that were happening but that brought him to the baffling question. If I'm one then who is the other? Winston claimed they wouldn't know for sure until the wolf revealed him or herself. But in the meantime Humphrey contented himself with the fact that he wouldn't be the sole protector of the pack and there would be someone to help him out. His gaze lazily followed the tree line that surrounded the clearing stopping occasionally, as a red glow would flicker to life. He knew now that it was probably prey scurrying around in the underbrush trying to seek refuge for the night. Humphrey felt like one of those animals trying to seek refuge from the outside world, from his cold existence.

"Uh, Humphrey?" a voice broke the silence. Humphrey turned to see Sage standing with a group of fierce looking wolves.

"Are you alright?" he asked with a concerned look.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Humphrey replied quickly. "Who are they?" he pointed to the unfamiliar group.

"They." Sage began. "Are your squad mates, you're part of our team now."

"Okay." Humphrey nodded his head slowly. "So I take orders from you now?"

"Yes, I'm your captain. Welcome aboard Humphrey it'll be good to have you." Sage let out a small smile. "Now, let me introduce you to everyone else. This is Adrian." Sage said pointing to a medium sized rusty brown wolf with a thick mop of hair and green eyes. His face was covered in scratches and old battle scars but Humphrey could tell he was fairly young. "This is Hurly." he continued as he nodded towards a hulking white wolf with streaks of brown in his fur. His eyes were light blue and his muzzle had a slight tan tinge to it. "And finally there's . . .Guys? Where's Klayre?" Sage asked spinning around.

Hurly shrugged. "Dunno boss, she was here a minute ago."

"We ask for an extra wolf and we get this?" a voice snickered from behind Humphrey. Humphrey shouted in terror and jumped towards Sage and the others.

"Klayre we know it's you, show yourself." Sage sighed.

Seemingly out of nowhere a stunning female wolf materialized from the bushes and stepped into the moonlight. She had dark brown eyes and an even darker brown coat with flecks of white on it. Her hair fell like Lilly's, with one piece covering her left eye from view.

"C'mon sis, go easy on him. He's had a rough day." Adrian insisted.

"Not my problem." Klayre scoffed. "I'm outta here."

Adrian glared daggers at his sister as she stalked off into the trees.

"What did I do?" Humphrey asked confused.

"Don't worry about Klayre, she's got a bone to pick with everyone. But she usually leaves if you ignore her." Adrian reassured.

Humphrey's eyes dropped to he ground "Or if you're an Omega."

"We will get you trained up don't worry." Hurly's deep voice rumbled. Sage and Adrian nodded in agreement. Humphrey wasn't completely convinced by their claim.

"Well now that you've met our "team" we'll leave you alone for a bit." Sage motioned for Adrian and Hurly to follow. "We'll start your official training in a day or two, in the meantime take it easy and relax!"

Humphrey nodded and with that the trio of wolves disappeared into the trees from which they came. Silence once again filled the serene clearing.

Short i know but what'd you think? Make sure to let me know, I'm hoping to have the next chapter done by tomorrow but no promises.

Cheers!
