On with story:
I was standing on the top of a hill, looking down at the valley. It was a dark night and I couldn't see anything. I was patrolling the southern borders with Kate late at night. We just needed to do another check and we were done. As we walking along the border I saw something move in the bushes. I stopped but it seemed that Kate didn't notice. The bush near Kate moved again. I tried to warn Kate but no voice came out of my mouth. I froze in fear as I saw a claw appear from behind the bush. I wanted to run to Kate and stop that claw but my body didn't respond to what I wanted to do! I closed my eyes when I saw the claw moving to Kate's throat!
I woke up screaming "Kate, no!". I shot up looking around to find that it was only a dream. I let out a sigh of relief" god damn night meres! Why do they look so real?' I mumbled under my breath as I walked outside of my den, heading for the river because I wanted to wash off the sweat. It was almost a full moon and the moon's light lighted up my path. I drunk some icy cold water trying to cool down my nerves and then jumped inside, letting the water run through my messy fur. l never bothered myself to keep my fur nice because I liked the way it felt loose. I stayed in the water washing my body for a while until it got too cold to stay in water. I walked out of the river and decided to let my fur dry itself as laid down on a nearby rock as I went into deep thinking.
"what's wrong? you seem to be troubled." Someone asked from behind me. I yelped as I turned back to see the wolf was Lilly. I get a sigh" oh god, Lilly you scared the life out of me!" I said taking in deep breathes." Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, I didn't notice you were thinking." She said apologizing." So you want to talk about it?" she asked hoping I wasn't angry with her." Not really, it isn't good." I said frowning." Well, maybe you feel better if you talk about it." She said insisting. I rolled my eyes and told him about the dream." She listened to me and said I shouldn't worry about it because night mere isn't real. I nodded to her statement.
"thank you but what are you doing here late at night?" I asked. She looked away from me and mumbled" I don't want to talk about it." I raised an eyebrow "I told you what's wrong with me and you helped. It's only fair if I also help you." I said. She sighed and said" Garth has to go back the eastern pack tomorrow and I won't see him until the moonlight howl but that's not all, you know the Garth's father Tony?" she asked. I nodded." He doesn't like me going out with his son." She said breaking down in tears. I felt bad for her I mean I knew how bad It felt to not be able to be with the one you love. I put a comforting paw around her and let her cry until she calmed down.
" Why doesn't he want you to be his son?" I asked in a friendly voice. She sniffed a few times before answering" because of some old tradition, it's a tradition in which both packs' unite as on under the marriage of the leaders' eldest daughter and son." She said holding back her tears. It took me a quite a while before I could warp my mind around what I heard and I was in total shock!' Kate is going to marry Garth?! What the hell? Why is this happening to me? was what I saw in the other world the future?' I thought, feeling fear tore my heart apart." OH my god, I forgot you were with Kate. I shouldn't have said that." she said sadly." No Lily, you did the right thing. At least, now, I can think of something before it's too late!" I said shacking my head.
I may have said that I would think of something but to tell you the truth, just thinking straight without freaking out was a challenge on its own. I needed to calm down." Lilly slap me in the face." I said. She looked at me with confusion." What? Why?" she asked." Don't ask questions just do it!" I barked at her. She slapped me right in the face which made me fall to my side.' Man, she has one heck of a paw!' I thought as I stood up." Thank you, I needed that." I said. She just nodded her head in more confusion." Ok, we need to think of a way to tell both packs that both Garth and Kate are taken; that way they can't make them marry against their will." Lilly said in a serious tone. I nodded.
"so you got any ideas?" I asked her. She nodded and explained" well, I was going to howl with Garth at the moonlight howl but I don't think just the two of us can pull it off." She said in a worried way." So you want me and Kate to back you up?" I asked with a grin. She smiled and nodded" it would help a lot if you guys joined us." She said." Ok, guess that's the plan, I will ask Kate in the morning." I said in a sad tone." Why are you sad? That's a great idea, isn't it?" she asked confused. I sighed and looked at her in the eyes, feeling tear from behind my eyes" I-I'm kinda afraid of the fact that we might not be meant for each other." I mumbled with a low tone.
She looked at me with a blank expression for a moment before saying" Humphrey, if there is one thing I am sure of, that is the fact that you and Kate are made for each other even if your howls don't match, I am sure you can make it work." trying to cheer me up. I looked at her before asking" you really think so?" she smiled" I know so." She said. That made me calm down from my little breakdown." Thank you I also needed that." I said with a little chuckle.
She also chuckled." Anyways, I should get going, I need to rest." She said yawning. I nodded" you sure do, do you want me to walk you back to the den?" I offered." No, it's not like anything going to happen to me on the short walk back, I can handle it on my own." she said with a little giggle. I nodded again and watched her go until she disappeared behind the bushes. I sighed and turned my head towards the south, there was still something I had to do.
I started to walk towards the south until I came across the southern borders. I could see two alphas protruding not far from me but I didn't have anything to do with them. I walked in the opposite direction along the border until I reached the place I saw in my dream.' Wow, they really do look alike!' I thought as I walked towards the bush I saw the wolf in. it was a big bush that more than one wolf could hide in but that was about to change really fast.
I started to dig under the bush until I reached its root, then I grabbed it with my jaw, pulling it out of the ground. I dragged the bush over a small tree and buried in the ground again." sorry but I am not going to take any chances." I said to the bush which sounded really awkward. I shrugged it off with thinking about how to ask Kate to go to the moonlight howl with me as I made my way to the feeding grounds. I didn't know why but after all the digging I felt really hungry.
'I don't want to ask her straight out of the blue then again I don't want to ask her with signs or something either.' I thought trying to find a solution to my problem.' I have to ask her tomorrow because the day after tomorrow is the moonlight howl and that doesn't give me time to waste at all! maybe I should invite her to a diner or something? No, that wouldn't feel alright because we had lunch together yesterday! Damn it, why is this so hard?!' I asked myself as I reached the feeding ground only to bump into someone. I fell backwards" I am so sorry, are you alright?" I said as I got back on my feet, feeling dizzy.
I took a moment for my eyes to adjust and me noticing the wolf was Winston!" I am fine Humphrey thank you for asking." He said in an annoyed manner. I looked at him and noticed he seemed to be sad or even mad at the time." Sir, you seem to be troubled, what it's the problem?" I asked with respect in my voice." It doesn't concern you, it's a matter of responsibility but my daughters don't agree with me." he said looking sad.
I knew what he was talking about and trust me it did concern me! in matter fact I was one of the key problems but he didn't know that and I wanted to avoid telling him like this." Sir, Lilly told me about the problem just a little while before I came here." I said with a fake smile." Did she? Well, do you know where she is? She ran away the moment I told Kate about her it" he said still looking sad." Well sir, I talked with Lilly for a while and convinced her to go back to the den; if you return now, you will see her but she is still very sad so don't talk to her." I said trying to cheer him up, guess the omega blood was kicking in again.
"thank you for doing so, you're a real life saver! Now if only I could find Kate." He said with a small smile." She ran off too?" I asked. He nodded. I didn't wait a second longer, I started to run at full speed towards the north. I knew where she was, I mean I had a pretty good guess. It was the place where I first entered the western pack from.
It was a deep but small valley in the north side forest near the border of the western territory. It was surrounded by tall trees so even if you were looking for it from above you couldn't see it unless you knew about a little rocky passage way that went straight into the valley. Inside the valley you could see a small lake in the middle and a meadow with a few trees and at the end of the valley, there was this little cave which went deep in the rocks and was big enough for a group of wolfs.
The beauty of the place wasn't the only reason I liked it, this place was special to me because it is the place where Kate and I first met each other. I was severally injured by the wolfs who attacked our pack and I hadn't eaten anything for weeks! Just when I was dying from blood loss and starvation, she came and saved my life by carrying me to the pack where I have been living ever since. I actually owed her my life so when she asked me to join the pack; I didn't say no and moved in the pack borders but not too close because back then I wanted to be close to my old pack as well.
I reached the forest where the valley was located at and slowed down because I was close. As I walked to the entrance of the valley I picked up Kate's scent which meant she did come here. I walked down the rocky path and saw her crying into her paws on the side of the lake as the moonlight shined upon her. I went by her side and slowly wrapped my arm around her and whispered in her ear" shshsh, babe It's alright, I am here now." She was shocked at first but after realizing it was me, she snuggled up and buried her face in my shoulder still crying. I slowly stroked her mane and let her calm down.
" your better now?" I asked softly after a while. She backed away and sniffed a few time before weakly answering" yes, I feel better." I nodded." How did you know I was here?" she asked tilting her head." I talked to your dad and she said you and Lilly had went missing, I had talked to Lilly before I talked with Winston so I rushed my way to here because I knew this is the first place you come to when you're sad." I said licking off her tears which made her giggle a little." Okay, I get it but how did you meet up with Lilly?" she asked with confusion. I then explained about the nightmare I had and how I saw Lilly at the river but I didn't tell her about my fear of our howls not matching, not that I didn't want her to know, I just didn't want her to think I am weak or something.
After I finished explaining, she sat there with a blank expression, probably trying to take it all in. a moment later, I smile grew on her face" you know what, I think this might actually work!" she said with excitement as she gave me a quick kiss on the lips which I gladly accepted." I know it will, I will love you no matter what happens between us." I said lovingly as I kissed her back." The same here." She said with the same tone after we parted. My stomach rumbled bringing me out of the daze I get every time we kiss." Looks like somebody's hungry!" she said giggling. I blush from embarrassment" hey! I haven't eaten anything since last night!" I complained in annoyed but not really way which made her giggle even more." Fine, I'll go and catch us dinner. You just stay here and relax okay?" she said licking my cheek. I nodded returning the gesture.
When she left, I climbed on a small flat rock near the entrance of the cave and laid down enjoying to moonlight and the warm breeze that blew every now and then. As I was relaxing my mind drifted off to my past, thinking about memories before I came here.
FLASH BACK: back to when Buck beaded Humphrey
I woke with a terrible headache," Ahh, what the hell happened?" I said groaning as I opened my eyes. I was in the middle of a forest near my family's den. Everything seemed normal except for a horrible nasty smell that was in the air, I didn't know what or where the smell came from but it made my eyes water and my stomach want to vomit. I frowned from the gross smell as I walked out of the forest the smell got even worse.' I wonder what happened to me?" I thought as I got close the end of the forest.
As I stepped out of the forest I saw a something that no wolf with the right mind would enjoy! In matter of fact I don't think even mad wolfs would like to see this! What I saw was truly the terrible, the ground was red and body parts of wolfs could be seen everywhere. There were pile of dead corpses here and there and some sick bastard had put the leaders' head on a stick. The scene could make the toughest of wolfs shiver in disgust and I was only an omega pup!
My legs trembled as I threw up on the ground' this can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't …' I repeated to myself as I shivered in fear from seeing all my friends and relatives slaughtered before me.' all the wolfs I knew, all my uncles and aunts even my family! Wait, my family! Maybe they survived! I needed to find out.' I thought as I snapped back up to my feet. It was a good thing I knew my way around the pack because from all the blood and bodies hanging around, you couldn't find your way by scent.
The closer I got to our den, the less bodies I saw and that was a good sign.' Maybe they managed to run away before those mean wolfs could get to them!' I thought with hope as I rushed over to the den. By the time I reached the den I could no longer see any sings of death and could barely see or smell and blood on the ground. My heart was pumping with hope! Now, I was almost sure that they were alive! I climbed up a small hill that our den was just on the other side. I got to the top of the hill but the sun shot right into my eyes, blinding me for a moment.
When my eyes adjusted to the light I could see a group of big bad wolfs near our den guarding a smaller group of wolfs who were tied up in vines who were trapped in our den! You see our den was huge because with us being omegas, we had to live with other omegas and instead of making a lot of small dens, our pack made a huge one which had different big rooms which were separated by leafs that are hanging from the ceiling. I looked closely and saw my parents among the hostages! I was so happy that I wanted to jump out of the bushes and hug them so hard but if I did that, our only chance of escape would be lost.
I sat there hiding in the bushes as tear slowly dropped to the ground.' I want be with you guys so much right now! After seeing all the things, I saw before getting here, I just want curl up between you guys and cry until I calm down.' I mumbled to myself sniffing. I whipped off my tears as I stood up' no! I have to be strong for them, this time it's my turn to look after them and help them.' I thought as I tried to act though." I will save you." I said quietly as I went back to the pack to prepare a plan.
END OF FLASH BACK: back to where Humphrey was
I was brought out of my thought and saw a paw swinging in front of my face. I yelped and pulled my head back from the sudden surprise" wha...?" I said looking towards the owner of the paw only to see that it was Kate." Sorry, didn't mean to scar you but your deep in your thoughts." She said giggling." Yeah, guess I was really thinking hard." I said in a sad tone as a single tear escaped my eye. Kate saw the tear and whipped off" sorry, I shouldn't have come here when I was sad. It's just that this place makes me happy because it reminds me of you but you don't any good memories of this place." She said also sad.' Great! Now look at what you did.' I thought as I shook my head" hey! Who said that I don't have good memories of this place? You know, When I was here wounded and starving to death I met with this cute girl who was very beautiful and kind, she saved my life and became my reason to live so I don't know but that is a really good reason to love this place." I said sweetly as I licked all over her muzzle. She laughed a little and looked into my eyes" that is one of the many reasons I love you." She said with the same tone.
I was about to say something but my stomach decided to rumble so hard that the little rocks started to shake." Whoa! we better get you something before you create an earthquake or something!" she joked as she went to bring in the food she had hunted for us. It was a normal sized caribou which was one of my favorites. I didn't even wait for her to offer, I attacked the animal with my jaws ripping off the meat devouring the taste without saying a single word.
After a while she stopped eating but I didn't because I was still hungry! I almost ate half of the caribou before I stopped." Yummy! That was the best thing I ever tasted" I said rubbing my now full stomach. Kate giggled at my words" you sure about that because I know things that taste better." She said in a funny tone." And what is that?" I asked mimicking her tone." This!" she said quickly as she smashed her lips onto mine's. I was surprised at first but gladly accepted the long kiss." So what do you think?" she asked playfully. I decided to play her game" I don't know; I didn't get a very good taste but if it you do it again I could tell!" I said pretending to be confused. She chuckled before giving me another long deep passionate kiss which I enjoyed very much.
"so?" she asked seriously this time." Congratulations! You take first place." I said joyfully." Yaaaaay!" she almost screamed with joy but then asked" don't I get a reward or something?" I looked at in disbelief her for second before an idea popped in my head." Yes you will get a reward but I doubt you like it." I said grinning evilly as I walked towards her wiggling my paws in the air. Her eyes widened upon realizing what I was plaining to do." You don't dare!" she squeaked before in jumped on her tickling her sides with my paws.
Kate immediately started laughing like crazy." Humph…ry… sto..p!" she managed to say between her laughs but I didn't stop" aww I thought you wanted a reward!" I said tickling her." No..t an..ymore." she said with tears of laughter running down her face. I continued to tickle her a little more before stopping." I am so going to get you back for that." she said panting heavily from all the laughing." I like to see you try" I shot back because I wasn't ticklish. She just rolled her eyes." Come on let's go get some sleep tomorrow is a big night." She said yawning.
" don't you want to go back to your home I am sure you parents are worried as hell right now!" I said concerned, on one side I didn't want her to go but then again I didn't want to make her parents feel bad. Kate growled when I mentioned her parents." I still haven't forgiven them for trying to make me marry Garth so I don't really want to go back at least not until after the have accepted you." She said in annoyed tone. I nodded in understatement and followed to the back of the den.
We both laid down as she curled up to a fur ball in my embrace for comfort." You know, Humphrey you are really comfy for a pillow." She said as I placed my head on her neck." Yup, I'm the only pillow you are allowed to rest on." I said giving her a good night kiss. She giggled as she returned the kiss" good night Hummy." She whispered slowly drifting off to sleep." Good night Katie." I said also drifting off to sleep.
