Chapter 5: Discovered

Humphrey sat there as he watch the brown wolf named Kodiak come back out of the woods. Anya wasn't with him but Kodiak wasn't alone, he had four more wolves behind him.

Nikoli shouted to the four wolves behind Kodiak "One of you help Andrey carry Dimiti's body back to the territory and the remaining three of you carry the boar's body to the territoty as well."

The four wolves did what they were ordered without question. "Kodiak, I need to speak with you." said Nikoli in a hushed tone. "Sir what is it?" asked Kodiak "You know as well as I do that with Dimitri's death our squad will be one member short, so we need to find and train a new wolf to replace Dimitri." said Nikoli

"I know sir but we don't have any replacements left not after the war we had with the nomad wolf packs and besides the new recruit would be stepping in some paw prints the rest of the pack would rather leave unfilled." replided Kodiak.

Humphrey decided to back up a few steps so he wouldm't be seen. Just as he took the last step he broke a twig hidden in the snow.

"What was that." said Nikoli as he perked up his ears. "I don't know but do you smell that?" replied Kodiak "Yeah, I smell it too, I hadn't smelt it before because of all the blood." said Nikoli.

Humphrey silently cursed to himself "Shit they have my scent." "WHO'S THERE!" yelled Kodiak as he an Nikoli aproached the area Humphrey was hidding in.

Humphrey began running out of fear of the larger wolves. "WAIT, STOP." yelled Nikoli. Humphrey kept running fearing for his life.

"Is that a female seems way to small to be a male." asked Kodiak as he and Nikoli began chasing after the grey wolf. "I don't think so." replied Nikoli. "I bet you my lunch that that is a female spy sent by one of the nomad packs." said Kodiak confidently. "Your on." replied Nikoli in an equaly confident tone.

The two Russian wolves easily caught up to Humphrey who was much smaller and slower. Kodiak tackled Humphrey to the ground and then pinned him.

"Please don't kill me." begged Humphrey. "What are you doing here." growled Kodiak. "Im new around here, I was just looking around when I found you guys fighting that animal."

"Likely story, now tell the truth or ill rip your throat out." said Kodiak. "Stop, Kodiak its obvius he is not from around here, did you hear his accent and no male wolves from around here are thta small, so get off him." said Nikoli and Kodiak obeyed.

As soon as Kodiak got off of Humphrey, he backed up against a tree still terrified.

"Its ok, we don't want to hurt you all we want to know is why your here." said Nikoli in an attempt to calm Humphrey down. "Are you sure you won't kill me?" asked Humphrey "Of course we won't kill you now tell us who you are and why you're here." replied Nikoli

Humphrey let out a say of relief and said "My name is Humphrey and why im here, well its a long story are you sure you want to hear it." "We have plenty of time." replied Nikoli

Humphrey then began telling his story from the point he was taken to Idaho with Kate to when he stumbled apon the five wolves fighting the boar.

"You did all that." said Kodiak in awe. "This Kate must have really hurt you." said Nikoli sympathetically.

"Yeah she did and now I have no where to go." said Humphrey depressed. "Hmm, I have an idea." said Nikoli as he pulled Kodiak away and began whispering to him.

As Humphrey watched them talk he saw that whatever Nikoli said put a shocked look on Kodiak face. When they finished speaking Nikoli aproached Humphrey and said "As you know we lost a comrad today and now our sqaud is on wolf short. We need a replacement and I want you to be that replacement. We will train you and make you equal in strength to one of us in spite of your size and also if you accept you will be accepted into our pack and be given a home."

Humphrey was shocked, he couldn't believe the offer he was just given. After a few moments of thinking Humphrey said "I accept your offer."

Nikoli smilled and said "Good to hear that Humphrey. Kodiak go and get the other so we can introduce them to Humphrey."

"Yes sir" replied Kodiak as he turned around and began walking into the forest.

"Oh and Kodiak, you owe me your lunch, he is a male." said Nikoli with a grin.

"Did you see how terrified he was. No male would be that scared." replied Kodiak as he disappeared out of sight.

"What was that all about?" asked Humphrey "Oh nothing." replied Nikoli with a smile.

AN: "Review if you want." I say like I don't care then I fall on my knees and clasp my hands and beg "PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!"
