A/N: I never thought I would make it to chapter 20 actually it's 21 if you count the author note! I wanted to thank everyone for their great support! Keep it up guys! Ok enough of me talking, on with the story:
Right now, I am in the middle of a hug session! My parents were doing their job being parents and that is embarrassing me in front of my new girlfriend and possibly future mate, Kate. Man, I can't stop myself from grinning when I call her my girlfriend, it just feels so good because I really loved her and we just kissed for the first time like five minutes ago! So with me reuniting with my parents, just made everything better! I had a brother who could do some cool things and a pair of loving parents and a beautiful girlfriend, what else I wolf could wish for! Right? Well, I really could use some freaking oxygen!
"mom, dad, I c-can't breathe!" I managed to mutter out, trying the breath some air. They quickly let go of me." sorry! We are just so happy to see you after all this time, we thought we lost you that day." Kyle said." It's alright I missed you guys too, you don't know how happy I was when I found out you came back." I said giving them a quick hug, they returned the hug." Humphrey why didn't you come and tell us right away? we could have helped you in the challenges." Jake asked me." dad, that was the problem, if I came to you right away and then became a delta, what would the pack say? They would have thought that I cheated my way in." I said. My dad walked forward and put his paw on my shoulder, looking right in my eyes. I got an uneasy feeling in my guts like this wasn't going to end well but I was wrong" Humphrey I am so proud of you because even with us not being there for you, you have grown to be a kind and caring wolf who is responsible and puts other's before himself and that is something you should be proud of too, son" my dad said with a proud voice. I was so happy they thought of me like that.
I thanked them and said they did what they thought was best for me. there was a short silence between us when I realized I haven't introduced Kate to them yet!" eeh, mom and dad I want you to meet someone who is very special to me." I said putting my paw around Kate, pulling her closer to me." this is Kate, the love of my life and the very reason I am alive right now is all thanks to her." I said griping her warmly which made her to yelp from the sudden hug. There was a moment of silence with my parents and Kate looking at each other.' Man I hope this goes well because I will choose Kate over them if it comes to that I mean she has been with me for almost all my life' I thought as I waited for them to say something.
My dad broke the silence" well, this is sudden but I guess all we can say Is that you got yourself a beautiful girl and that we accept her in our family." My dad said shaking paws with Kate. I let out a sigh of relief but it was too soon." Jake, I am not sure about this." My mother said." Honey, do you really want us to argue about this, I mean look at them. They are like a young version of us! You will like her when you get to know her." My dad said laughing trying to ease up the tension. Kyle's face let up after giving Kate a closer look." guess you are right. Kate, Humphrey would you like to come to our den for lunch?" she said inviting us for lunch. We agreed and they started leaving but Kyle turned around and said" Humphrey if I catch you two doing anything I will cut off your tail and shove down your throat". You understand Kate?" she growled. Kate quickly nodded her head gulping her saliva from the sudden threat.
I couldn't help but laugh" jeez! Our mothers are so alike." I joked." what does that supposed to mean?" she said glaring." Nothing, I mean they are both very kind and protective of their children!" I quickly said, she looked satisfied with my answer." Nice save!" Flame who has been silent all this time said jumping off a tree. I paw fived him, Kate rolled her eyes mumbling something under her breath." Humphrey I just wanted to remind you not to use your fighting powers until we get the last bit of the darkness out of you." He said, I nodded saying that I won't use it." Now I have to go prepare something to purifies you." He said jumping in the air and flying to Lupa knows where.
There was an awkward silence
"so, what do you want to do now? It's still early in the morning so we have a lot of time to kill before we have to meet your parents." Kate said leaning to my side." Well, I haven't drunk any water in like two weeks! so let's go to the lake." I suggested walking in the direction of the lake with her following me. it felt strange being the one in the front usually alphas were always first in anything! But I am a delta and so is she so it didn't really matter.
When we reached the lake I quickly ran over to the side drinking the cold but refreshing water. Kate giggled from behind me" thirsty are we?" she asked in a playful ton. I lifted my head to see her grinning evilly" Katie don't do what I think you are going to…" but she did it. She ran at me throwing us both in the middle of the cold lake. I yelped from the coldness" Kate!" I yelled but was shut up by her kissing me. her felt so amazing, it was like magic! All the cold left my body as I kissed her back until we had to withdraw for lack of air." You warm now?" she asked panting." Oh yeah!" I said also panting. She replied good and splashed me with some water. 'So that's how you want to play it' I thought and we engaged in a water fight.
We were splashing water at each other faces and laughing like we were mad wolfs! It felt so fun doing stuff like this. After a long battle which I definitely won because it is what omegas do, have fun! We walked out of the water laying down in the sunlight so that our fur would dry. I was lying on my back with Kate resting her head on my belly.' No matter how many times I think about it, I just can't believe we are together.' I thought slowly stroking her mane." What are thinking about?" Kate asked." I am thinking about how lucky I am." I said smiling, she gave me a confused look" how so?" she asked with curiosity." Because I have the most beautiful wolf in the world as my girlfriends which I must say looks really cute when rest her head on my stomach." Oh really!" she said in a funny tone while slowly moving her head towards my head. I leaned forward contacting our lips. I decided to try something and pushed my tongue into her mouth. She was shocked for a second but quickly gave me access to her mouth. I explored every part of her mouth and loving the taste and she did the same to mine.
" holy caribou! What are you two doing!" someone shouted from behind us. We quickly parted away looking at the direction the voice came from only to see a shocked Lilly." Hey Lilly, how long have you been there?" Kate asked her sister nervously." Long enough to see you two go in action." She said with a silly grin." Omg, you can't tell mom and dad! Not until we meet Humphrey parents" Kate said trying stop her from getting any ideas. "wait, Humphrey parents are alive! When did this happen and why didn't you tell me?" she asked sounding upset." Lilly, calm down, I could not tell you because your dad wanted me not to tell anyone." Now they both looked shocked." Hummy, why would my dad not want you to tell this news to us?" Kate asked." Hummy?! He has a nick name now!? What happened to you two in these two weeks?" Lilly said freaking out. I fake coughed a few times to get their attention and explained to them about my talk with Winston and how he asked me not to tell anyone specially Kate about my parents being alive. Their faces were blank for a second" so if that's what happened why did you tell me in the end?" Kate asked raising her eyebrow." Katie I just couldn't lie to you for a long time it would have drove me crazy if I did it." I said sounding ashamed for breaking a promise." Aww, that is so cute!" she said giving me a quick peek on the lips." Oookkaaay, I have had enough of kissing scenes for today, so I am going to go and make some with Garth!" she said running behind the bushes.
Now it was my turn to look shocked." Since when is your sister going out with Garth?" I asked pointing to where I last saw Lilly." Since after they howled together at the howling challenge and found out that their howls matched perfectly." Kate responded. You see, when two wolfs howled together and their howls synced perfectly, that meant that they were meant for each other! Like they were mate's to be from the beginning. A shiver ran down my spine making my fur stand up' what if our howls didn't match? Would she still like me if that happened?' I asked myself getting more worried. I think Kate read my thought because she said" Hummy, don't worry about it I am sure we are meant for each other I mean I liked you since I first saw you when we were pups and even if they didn't, it doesn't mean I would love you any less." She said giving a warm smile. I smiled back" that is one of the many reasons I love you, now come on we should get going if we don't want to be late." I said. She nodded and we both started walking towards my parent's den.
TIME SKIP: at the den
We reached the den just before noon, the weather was getting hot so I was glad to be in the den's cool air. When we reached the entrance I looked up at Kate giving her a question look" you sure you want to do this?" which she nodded and we entered the den. We were greeted by my mother only because my father was out hunting us lunch. After the usual hello and how are you stuff we sited at one end of the den while my mother sited on the other end." So Kate I hope you forgive me for acting up a little back in the morning, it's just I find my baby after so long and see him so grown up that he has a girlfriend! that I am not used to." She said making a face like she was really sorry. Kate smiled and said that she understands what she meant and she is just happy to be with me. a smile grew on my face from hearing that. they were talking for a while and I was just hold Kate's paw thinking about how lucky I am and then things got awkward." So Kate, honey, do you two plan on forming a family any time soon?" she asked, that caught us off guard. We exchanged looks blushing like a tomato." Well, we really haven't decided on that yet because we've been together only for two weeks or so." I responded hoping that things wouldn't get worse but…" ohh, I understand but you better decide fast because the mating season is close and …" I cut her off" mom! Can we please like avoid this subject?" I almost begged. She was about to say something when dad came in dragging to caribous with him." I got lucky because these two were going at it and couldn't run away! it was hilarious" he said laughing as he put one in front of us and the other for mom and himself. There was a short silence until dad complained again" come on dig in, it's not getting any hotter if you wait any longer." He said ripping of a hind leg.
I also ripped off a hind leg because they tasted the best but I put it in front of Kate. I got the other leg for myself and we eat in silence. After lunch things went pretty good. My parents told us some amazing stories about things they did when training to becoming deltas and I told them about how I invented log sledding in this pack and how I met Kate, surprisingly after that creepy chat, Kate and my mother got really close they were talking about something in the back of the den, probably some girl to girl talk which I didn't want to know about. We said our goodbyes in the evening because Kate had some delta duties and I offered to walk her to the head alpha's den.
We were walking between the trees to wards where the rest of the pack was when I decided to ask Kate about what she thought of my parents." So Kate what do you think of my parents?" I asked while walking." well, to tell you the truth except for the creepy questioning, they are really sweet and kind. I am very happy for you to be with them again." she said in a sweet tone." Yeah, I am happy too but I am also a little worried." I said," why is that?" she asked with concern." Well, we have to tell your parents soon and Eve worries me a lot." I replied, Eve had a thing around the pack for killing the wolfs who tried to make a move on her daughters. She sighed " I know what you mean but both me and them have known you for like the first day you came here! I am sure we can work it out." She said giving me a peek on the cheek. I returned to kiss and said" yeah, there is nothing in this world that can stop us." Which made her giggle. I continued "but can we please tell them after I get my healing powers back? I would feel much safer then." She nodded. I noticed that we were getting close to the den."
looks like this is where we part ways, be careful with your duties" I said. She said she would and gave me a long kiss on the lips which left me in a daze I got every time I kissed her. She giggled and run up to the den.
I waited there until she got in the den and then started my journey to my own den. I could see some rain clouds far away in the east that were headed for here but I would be fine if I got in my den. I build the den in a way that rain water could get in at all so I had nothing to worry about. When I reached my den the rain had already started so I quickly got in only to find my three best friends there." Hey guys how is it going." I said gaining their attention." Whoa, Humphrey when did you wake up?! We were so worried about you man." Salty said pulling me into a bone crushing hug. I hugged them back and laid down in the entrance of my bed room." So, what happened to you I heard you fell of a rock or something? Is that true." Mooch asked.' So that's the excuse Kate used! I can't blame her I mean who would believe I went to the world f dead to get her back who died accidently?' I thought but decided to play with their plan for now." Yup, I fell and Kate had to bring me back all the way to the healer's den and guess what, I confessed my love and turns out she loved me all this time too! And now we are going out." I said with a little chuckle. Their jaws literally dropped down to the ground from shock." That's my dog! Congratulations bro! who would have thought that our Humphrey would actually get the love of his life an alpha." Salty said with a smile. The other also congratulated me on getting Kate." So what did the two of you do today all ALONE?" Shakey asked emphasizing the last word. I rolled my eyes' why do my friends think so dirty of me?' I asked myself. I then explained to them about my agents which caused another wave of shock and happiness down their face. I didn't go in detail about the talks at the lunch and they didn't bother to was about it either. We talked till late night about random stuff but I was getting tired so I excused myself from their presence and went into my bedroom, falling to the world of dream with my last think being 'I still can't believe what happened today! I am for sure the luckiest wolf in the world.' And then I fell asleep.
A/N: ok, I know late update but I have good news because from now on all the chapters are going to be over 3000 words but I need a little more time to write it so that is the reason I was late! Humphrey finally gets to talk with his parents and even better get the love of his life but will all this last? Will the dark side of him destroy everything or responsibilities get the better of him? There is some cool shit happening in the next chapter so make sure you follow the story to know when it's out!
Random fact about this story number two: when I first created Flame's character and appearance, I was going to give him black wings! I even wrote 'not all angels have white wings' but then I thought it made him looks evil which he is not! And with him trying do the things he did like killing Kate accidently I would make him look bad! So that's why has white wings even though his fur doesn't match but I made you guys confused about him so… :)
note: I am going to use black wings just not for Flame! But don't get your hopes high because it will be very sad when It happens :)
love out, live on
