I was walking with Lilly throughout the forest to where the pack meeting where held. It was a hot day and I hadn't had the chance to swim in the lake by men den due to a mental breakdown thinking Kate didn't need me in her life. I was comforted by her sister and that was kind of embarrassing but it was what I needed and now I was feeling better about myself. I thanked Lilly for her kind words and we heard a howl that meant there was a pack meeting by the head alpha den which is by the way where we our headed now.
after walking for about ten minutes, we come to a clearing right next where the packs main dens were and after that it was just a short two minuet walk to head alpha's den. I cloud already see some wolfs heading to the same direction. We reached to bottom of the cliff where the meeting was held and saw a big group of wolfs there. We were one of the last wolfs getting there so we were way back." Come on, you can come up with me if you want." I heard Lilly say as she made her way around the crowd and to the rock path the led to up the cliff. I nodded as I started following her.
all of the wolfs came and I was sitting at the end of the path just so I couldn't look inside of their den not wanting to invade their privacy. Lilly was sitting next to her mother Eve which actually looked calm for once in her life and hit me if I'm wrong but she looked happy and that was a rare thing. I was deep in my thoughts trying to guess what was the news when she spoke:
"hello, the reason you are here gathered here right now is for giving some good news." I heard a few sighs of relief from the crowd knowing that it wasn't bad news.
Eve continued:" two very special wolfs have rejoined our pack after traveling around the world for a while and have become a rank even higher then alphas!" a rank higher then alphas this sure sounds interesting I thought to myself the crowd also thought the same I could hear them talk among themselves.
Eve waited for them to calm down but they didn't. 'oh no, here it comes!' I thought to myself. Eve shouted:" shut the hell up before I take your eyes and shove them down your throat!" everybody was so shocked the look on their faces was priceless. A laugh escaped my mouth and Eve turned to look at me." Is something wrong with your hearing humphrey dear?" she asked with a death glare. I quickly shut my mouth and shook my head saying no." good, that's what I thought." She said turning back.
" anyhow, their names are Jake and Kyle and they have reached the high rank to be called a delta and well train some wolfs of our pack into one if they pass a test so whoever wants to sign up go north and around the moonlight howl mountain and after a few miles there is a big meadow there with a big river which they said their den is on the of the tallest hill. That is all." She finished the meeting and left, leaving me in complete shock.' My parents were back? They were part of this pack and rejoined it just now? How did this happen all of sudden?' I asked myself hitting myself with my paw making sure it wasn't one of those crazy dreams I recently had but to my surprise it hurt!' wow, this is real. They are back.' I yelped in joy and started sprinting to their den. It wasn't that far away from my den knowing they were almost in the same direction I just had go home and then run to northeast for half an hour or so before reaching moonlight howl mountain and after that I should be fine as long as I follow Eve address. After running for a bit I knew I was getting close to my den but my energy begun to drop with every step I took leaving me with panting heavily. I slowed down to walking when I reached my den.' Wow that took the more energy than I thought. I must be getting out of shape.' I said to myself sitting down from exhaustion. Some water will do me some good I thought with myself getting off and went over to the river that was not far from my home. After drinking a few gulps of cool refreshing water I was ready to go again but I took easy this time and started a light jog to my parents den.
it was almost noon when I passed by Moonlight howl mountain and I knew there was only a few miles left according to Eve. Finally, just a few hours left till the sunset I reached my destination only to be met by a long line of wolfs waiting there to try and pass the test. My jaw dropped, it was not fair having the chance to meet your parents since they left you all alone in pack by yourself and now when you do get the chance I have wait in a line what is this I mean is this I am their son for crying out loud!. I started to see where the end of the line is as a grumbled to Lupa how unlucky I am and then as if the goddess has heard me all my anger washed away in a blink of an eye before the sight in front of me.
right at the end of the line there was the wolf I loved so much.' It's Kate ! omg, I feels so long the last time I saw yet she is beautiful as ever! Even more beautiful if you ask me.' I said to myself. my tail began to wag from excitement of being able to see her again. I glared at my tail to stop it from wagging all over the place and trying to act cool as I start to run to her and then I froze back.' Wait, wait, I need to look presentable to her. I don't want to look bad or something around her' I mentally slapped my fore head with my paw. I looked for something to see my appearance in and was able to find a puddle close by quickly. I picked out some twigs in my mane but nothing I could do about the mud on my paws.' Well, not the best I could have looked but definitely not the worst she has seen me in' I thought to myself trying to calm and as I slowly walked up the end of the line that by luck was right behind her.
" Long time no see, kate." I said from behind her. She turned like really fast:" humphrey! I am so missed you so much.' She said and pulled me to a hug.' Did my ears hear right? She just said she missed me wow! That's a first and now she is hugging me ever weirder.' But I loved it and hugged her back." Me too, I didn't smile once since you left." I said as a sly smile crept its way up my face." That had to be hard for a funny loving omega." She giggled from seeing my sly grin. (A/N: I just used my user name in the story yay!)" you got no idea" I said while moving my paw over my neck showing how hard it was." So why are you here?" she asked me in a curious eyes shined with excitement as I was about to tell her:" well, I just found out …" but I was cut off by Winston who appeared from out of nowhere." Humphrey, it is good to see you. What are you doing here?" he said while he smiled a little and by little I really mean just for a sec. and then a question popped up in my mind." hello sir, in fact I was looking to have a word with you sir."" With me?" he said looking surprised." Before you ask, how did you know we were here?" what cut me off guard but I didn't show it." Your wife told me where to find you" I said hopping for the best." Ah yes, I should have guessed. Anyways, what is it?" he said." Well, to be honest it would be better if we talked someplace else. I don't want make and misunderstandings." I said nerve sly hopping he would accept. After a moment of silence, he nodded and began to walk to the forest." Wait here Kate while I see what does humphrey want. We will be right back" he said before motioning me to follow him.
when we got far away so Kate couldn't see or hear us, he turned and said" look, I know what you want to ask. I am …" I cut him off:" so you do know, why didn't you tell me my parents were alive. this whole time I thought they had left me to grow up by myself and died somewhere I was so young I didn't even remember their faces. How could you lie to my for so long? I thought of you like my own father." I yelled at him while tears running down my face. He looked shocked at my last sentence but remained silent. Then he spoke:" humphrey, I am terribly sorry for what I did but you need to know it was not my fault. You see, your parents knew that upon becoming delta there was a big chance that they would die and they thought it would make your life easier thinking that they were long gone when you were a pup." I was in total shock. I mean I was sure it was Winston who lied to me but being lied to by my long not seen parents was something I never thought of." Sir, forgive me for yelling at you and misunderstand the situation." I said trying to mug up the mess I made." It is okay humphrey, I forgive you. You are like a son I never had to me. Oh, and please don't talk about this with Kate just yet." He said putting a paw on my back to comfort me to stop crying. I nodded and dried up my tears and started to go back to where we left Kate.
the line has moved a lot but we were still last so I didn't really matter. Kate looked between me and her father repeatedly trying to guess what we talked about but she gave up after a while and asked:" so what happened and why are your eyes red humphrey ? holy caribou. Have you been caring?" she looked really worried. The stress in her eyes made me chuckle. I was so liking the fact she was caring about my but I stopped smiling when I saw her father looking at me." Yeah, I cried a little but there were tears of joy. Guess what I asked you father if I could participate in the test and he said yes!" I said as I looked over at Winston whose eyes were widen.' Well, if you want me to lie to my love, you have to give me something in return' I thought with myself knowing that I got him trapped." Dad, you really did that, aww thank you so much." She said as she hugged her father. He wanted to say something but just ended up saying:" yeah I thought you could use a friend a delta school." As he hugged her back. After they separated he smiled:" in fact, I can handle the registration for you guys. Humphrey could you be kind enough to bring Kate home to Eve before the sunset, I am sure her mother would love the spend the night with her daughter before school starts." He shot back at me but he didn't know I wouldn't rather do anything else in world except spend more time with Kate." Yes, sir, and thank you." I said to him and then turned back to Kate:" come on Kate, let's go. The sun will be setting in an hour or two." I said as I started to walk back to my home and from there to Kate's home." aright, bye dad." I heard him say as we started walking along side each other, talking about all things that happened to us during the last week.
