Chapter 18

The sun was rising over Jasper Humphrey was still remebering the night before the pleasure he hadnt felt in so very long it had been like heaven on earth for him and despite everything he felt happy. He saw her asleep she was smiling in her nice way that just warmed Humphrey up. He decided to simply let the her and the pups sleep while he went for an early morning walk. Kayla was waiting outisde his den when he walked out and she nearly scared him to death. "Damn" he said "a simple hello would of worked" she looked up at him and said '' well after last night i didnt think you would be that jumpy" he blushed and said "please tell me you didnt watch" she looked at him with a mild smile and said "i hate to admit but i was walking and I heard rustling and believe when i saw yall two going at it I turned around and just left." She laughed at her own comment and said "and heres a piece of advice use the tounge a bit more us girls love that." Humphrey stood there for a second "and they say girls arent as perverted as guys..." She laughed and said "oh we are worse than guys we are just better at hiding it." He looked at her and said "why are you here again?" "because" she said "I need to tell you something and i know you arent going to like it and you probably wont believe it." This caught his attention "ok" he said "tell me what this thing is." She explained the story Tyler had told her and at the end of it Humphrey was looking at her like she had just told him the world was ending and that would have been more believeable than what she had just said. "You cannot expect me to believe that" he said with shock "believe what you want" she said "but you will fnd out one way or the other im not lieing. "Oh and one last thing" she said "what" Humphrey replied "dont tell anyone of this conversation it is between you and me" he nodded "ok" he said and she walked back to her den.

When Humphrey walked into the den he found that Lillian was awake and the other two were still asleep "what was Kayla talking about?" she asked with a slightly worried tone Humphrey knew he wouldnt get much by her so he wasnt about to try. "Some bull shit about your mother" he said in an angry tone "why would she say something about mom?" Lillian asked "as much as i hate to say it I dont know why." Lillian nodded and Humphrey thought to himself "Kayla you bitch why would you think Kate was on their side they killed her pup." Of course that wasnt true but he didnt know that yet. He told Lillian not to tell her mother about what Kayla had said the last thing they needed was the two of them fighting during this crisis Lillian agreed and promised her dad and she decided to go walk around outsside. "Kate woke up about thirty minutes later she licked him on the cheek and whispered in his ear "did you have fun last night?" Humphrey smiled at her and said "if heaven on earth is fun this yes i had a hell of a good time last night." Kate let out a small laugh and he kissed her softly. He told her he was heading out for a bit and he also told her to wake up Wilson. He headed down to Kayla`s den to find that her and Tyler were sleeping he was just about to turn around and leave when a very very familiar voice said "well you just ruined my plans didnt you?" "Winson" Humphrey said to himself he turned around to face him and there he was he was about the same size as he had been the previous year but he looked wilder in a way he talked and acted the same but he wasnt the Winston Humphrey had known as Kate`s father. "You killed my pup" Humphrey said cathcing Winston a bit off guard "I should kill you right here." Winston looked at him and said "you think i was the one who killed your pup?" "how about you ask your wife of all things she didnt tell you well so much for honesty in marriage." Humphrey was fuming and he had a good reason now he had two people he more or in Winstons case less liked telling him that Kate wasnt the same anymore she was a killer and that she had hurt Tyler and now he was being told she had killed Streak. Humphrey jumped at Winston and caught him on the leg Winston was caught off guard but quickly regained his compuser he jumped at Humphrey but missed and his reward was a kick in the throat knocking his breath out. Humphrey jumped on top of him and bit down into the throat Winston struggled and eventually ran out of energy then his world went dark and he was dead. Humphrey had claw marks covering his face and left side from where Winston had been clawing at him mercilessly while he was being strangled to death by Humphrey`s jaws. Humphrey let loose a howl of victory that woke the reaming sleepers in Jasper up.

When the wolves heard that Winston was dead they cheered loudly that was one enemy down and now the creature was alone and with no direction they knew that there chances of killing it had jumped up to a new high. Since Winston was gone the attack was now limited to taking down just the creature and though everyone expected it to be a hard hard fight they knew now that it was isolated it could be surrounded easily which was always a good strategy considering it could only defend one side at a time. Humphrey was scracthed up pretty bad he could still move but his face felt like it had been ignited on fire Kate had given him a good remedy which was licking the wounds he didnt know how it helped but it did the burning was gone after about an hour it definitatly wasnt the worst injuries he had substained in fights but they were painful regardless it was around midday and final preperations were being made. Kate was out doing something when she saw Flora "what the hell are you doing here?!" she hissed "if they see you we will both be dead." Flora looked at her and said "I think we should bail on this operation we no longer have anyone planning out our moves." Kate looked at her with a bit of disbelief "I have Humphrey right where i want him we will lead him and his miniuture amry as he calls it into a trap and we will take them all down." Flora simply nodded "I hope you know waht you are doing i dont want to end up like Winston and that other guy that he used to run this little murder operation with." Kate looked up ath er and smiled "we are two girls fighting a bunch of cocky wolves how can we fail we even know their plan." Flora felt some confidence return to her "ok" she said "im waiting for yall to get there." Kate nodded and quickly ran back to the den and Flora ran for the hills. Kate had made one mistake though, Humphrey hadnt told her about the other groups that were going to surround the caves he just wasnt sure if he could truast after hearing two wolves say that she had hurt Tyler and killed Streak. He was about to find out he was making a good choice.
