Chapter 15
The day was coming to a close in Jasper Humphrey had gone for a walk around the territory half expecting to be killed by Winston or that other thing. When he arrived at the den he saw that Lillian and Wilson where lieing there though he knew them they were not asleep he sat down next to them and he gave them both a lick on the cheek Lillain responded but WIlson did not he decided to leave him be and talk to Lillian. "Dad" she said "whats happening why is life like this?" he wasnted to say i just dont know but he knew that wouldnt help a bit and it would end up amking things worse. "I guess i need to tell you what i heard in that cave?" he said "i want to know everything you have seen over the past few years" she said with a bit of an edge in her voice. He nodded and began with how life had been peaceful he and Kate had just gotten married.

"Kate?" Humphrey said "wake up it sunrise" it was the day after Kate and Humphrey had gotten married and only a week after her near death experience with a caribou stampede. They touched noses and Humphrey gave her a little lick on the mouth she smiled and said "I love you" he responded "I love you too." Winston and Eve walked in on them in their little moment Winston gave a low chuckle and said "well if yall are to busy now we can come back later." Kate blushed and Humphrey replied "hah very funny." Eve walked up to Humphrey and said "If you kiss my daughter again i will rip your tail off and shove it up your ass and then down your throat." Everyone stopped for a second and Humphrey simply looked at her and said "are you fucking insane?!" Eve simply laughed and said "i got you so fucking good." Humphrey thought to himself ''Kate would have a phsycopath for a mother" but pushed it away today was Garth and Lilly`s wedding. Lilly walked in with a beautiful purple flower in her fur and it was pushed back revaling her amazing eyes. The flower and her eyes complimented each other in such and amazing way. "You look amazing" Kate said to Lilly "thanks" Lilly replied "I thought the flower and my eyes matched perfectly" Eve looked at her daughter and said "you look beautiful Garth is going to be very impressed." Humphrey spoke up and said "speaking of which i have to help him get ready" Kate came up to him and said "dont spoil the surprise for him now we want him to be shocked at how great Lilly looks." Humphrey replied "i know and by the way Lilly you do look great" Lilly looked up at him and said "thanks" he nodded and went off to meet with Garth.
The walk took only about 5 minutes he then reached Garth`s temporary den he was soon going to be sharing a very nice den with Lilly. "Hey Garth" Humphrey said "hey coyote" Garth replied back in a joking tone "not funny" said Humphrey with a low chuckle "now to help you get ready" Garth nodded and Humphrey examined him "you have a few smudges on your sides go wash them off a bit but other than that you look great." Garth nodded and washed himself he shaked off the water and stood in the sun to help himself dry off he fixed up his fur and after he was done he looked pretty good in Humphrey`s opinion. The wedding was a couple hours away which gave Humphrey and Garth time to talk about the so called burden of marraige. "What is it like?" Garth kept asking Humphrey and he kept getting the same response "its been one day Garth im not exactly a veteran here." Garth laughed at that remark "you have a point there" he said and Humphrey laughed "good times good times" he said. Garth looked at him a bit more seriously "how much do you really love Kate?" Humphrey was caught off guard at the question and he looked at Garth "ive been in love with her ever since we were pups we were friends at first she had always found me somewhat funny and she liked being around me. We were best freinds of course Lilly was my freind too and then of course you had the gang. Garth seemed interested to hear the rest so Humphrey went on. "After she went to alpha school me and Lilly spent most of our time together at one point Winston and Eve were planning on us getting married Lilly knew how i felt about Kate and she wasnt really into me like that we were just freinds but we never spoke up and instead just kept to ourselves about it." "Then after Kate got back from alpha school i saw her again while breaking up a fight bewtween two groups one being from the eastern pack." "You know the rest" Humphrey finished. Garth simply replied "i wish i was that lucky at a young age he said in the eastern pack we didnt have many freinds i was especially isolated my dad training me from a young age to be an alpha and he also told me dont bother falling in love we have a wife set up for you and you will be impressed." "That idea ended when me and Lilly started spending time together in yalls absence i fell in love with her after i saw her beautiful eyes she was a very nice girl and i was surprised that she hadnt been taken." "Then we howled together just before the battle between the two packs started." HUmphrey broke in and said "then the rest is history and now we are here."
The wedding went very well Lilly looked happier than ever as did Garth Kate nearly cried which Humphrey rolled his eyes at "girls and weddings" he thoguht to himeslf as the crowd departed. "Congrats" he told them both the four wolves went to Winston and Eve`s den and had what would be considered the wolf idea of a reception. Fresh caribou was the dinner and as all of them ate they discussed their futures together and how life was going to be so great. But as they were talking about a clebratory moonlight howl nearby a plume of smoke rose from a helicopter crash and the thing that would start the very night mare they would suffer from for years was escaping from the crash sight and it was thristy for blood.

"So that was the happier time?" Lillian asked Humphrey looked down tears in his eyes he remembered how everyone was so happy and everything was peaceful nothing couldve ruined it or so he thought. "Yes" Humphrey said "thigs were great we all thought nothing could ruin it but that very night there was a murder and from there life collpased until here we are." Lillian nodded and went to lie down she sat down in a corner and as Humphrey was about to take a sepreate corner he heard Lillian say "please sleep with me dad" he nodded and said "ok" they slept the rest of the night as it satrted to rain. That rain was very fitting and things in Humphrey`s eyes couldnt get much worse.
