Chapter 24: The Begining of the End

:Humphrey's POV:

News of our plan had begun spreading through the ranks like wild fire and as I was walking home I could already see all our troops saying goodbye to their families, pups clinging to their fathers begining them not to go, wives crying on their husbands shoulders telling them to come back in one piece. I knew this all must be hard for them but this is the only way we can finally bring a stop to this war.

I finally reached my den and I stopped, how could I face Anya after I had over reacted like that and my pups how could I take them looking at me as if I was a total stranger. I couldn't do it I just couldn't bring myself to face them.

I walked into the forest and began to wander, wondering how I could fix what I had done. Night had fallen and I began getting very tired so I knew I had to find a place to sleep for tonight. I searched for awhile and I found a tree with a hollow beneath it. I crawled in and laid my head down to try to sleep.

I woke up several hours later to see that the sun was barely rising in the east. I knew I would have to face Anya eventualy so I decided to head to our den. I stood at the entrance looking in to see Nikkoli and Maxim curled up next to there mother.

The next thing I saw made me feel like the scum of the earth. There was a bruise on Anya's side from when I had shoved her aside and on her face I could see tear stains under her eyes. I looked away as quickly as I could but the image still burned in my head.

"She dosen't blame you." someone said behind me.

I spun around to see Kate but I was to tired and to depressed to do anything.

"What do you want." I grumbled.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." she replied

"What makes you think I would want to talk to you." I growled

Then she said something I didn't expect.

"Look I'm fucking tired of how you treat me, we were friends once, good friends and I wish we still were but you've changed to much for me to even consider that anymore. You used to be a sweet and loving wolf and I know you've been through alot but I never would have guessed that the Humphrey I knew would ever let the world twist him into a dark, cynical, basterd hellbent on destroying the place he once called home." she yelled.

She had rage and sadness in her eyes and for the first time in along time I felt ashamed of myself.

She continued "You know what, I don't even know how were even able to get Anya, shes far to good for a piece of filth like you and it's probably for the best that your pups don't know you're their father so they don't end up like you. I used to be afraid of you but not anymore, I won't let you push me around like I'm a piece of trash. I'm an Alpha and you're just some stupid Omega who thinks he can lead a pack."

"I can't believe I actually loved you." she spat.

When I finally registered what she said I went from being ashamed to pure rage. I lunged at her before she had a chance to react. She was on the ground and her neck was in my mouth, I began to squezze. She began gasping for air but I didn't let up.

"STOP IT" I heard behind me.

"STOP IT, Humphrey PLEASE!" It was Anya and when I realized it was her I let go.

Kate began coughing and gasping for air and Anya sat next to her trying to calm her down. I tried to aproach them but when I did Anya looked at me with great sadness and also with something that made me finallly realize, how much of a monster I had become. She looked at me with fear.

I couldn't take it and I began running and as I did I could hear Anya yell "Humphrey, WAIT!"

I kept running, there was no way I could face her now or maybe even ever again.

I stopped to let out a howl that would call my team and all my general together. When they finally arrived I began giving orders.

"I want each and everyone of you to gather the army together and meet at the designated location. We move know."

The generals began whispering to each other and then one stepped forward

"Sir if I may say something, the soldiers were promised more time with their families and i thi-"

"I gave you all an order, NOW DO IT!" I barked

"YES, SIR!" they all replied in unison and with that all the generals were off.

"Humphrey why are we deploying early?" Trepex asked

"Yeah I thought we would get more time to rest." added Marcus

"We're moving now because this need to end NOW." I replied and without another word I turn and walked away to go address the army.

"Narator's POV"

A wolf sat on top of a hill over look the great forest that was Jasper.

As he sat there another wolf came running towards him.

"Report scout" said the first wolf.

"Andrey, sir Humphrey's army is making its move, its headed for Garth's territory to assist their southern allies in the final assualt." said the scout

"Go to each general and tell them to ready their troops. If Humphrey is making his move so am I, also tell Silver and Nicholas to come to me, I have a job for them." ordered Andrey.

"Yes sir." and the scout was off.

"So this is it, the begining of the end." said Andrey

"Good." he said with an evil smile.
