Kate's POV

Why were you so mean to him? Kate questioned herself with the thought. What did he do to you, all Humphrey ever did was be nice to you, and the first day you get back he compliments you then you yell at him! Kate growled at herself, how mean she could be.

He made called me fat. That gives me the right to be angry! She thought as her justification.

"You ok Kate?" She heard a voice ask. She turned and looked at the hunk next to her. She sighed because she knew she wouldn't be able to explain anything to him, after all her father had only introduced them this afternoon. Thinking back on it, Kate did find it rather strange how insistent her father was on making her meet him, though she quickly pushed it out of her head. What do I have to be worrying about? A simple little yelling match between me and Humphrey!? She almost laughed at the thought, after all she and Humphrey used to yell at each other all the time as kids. He's an omega, he'll be fine. She assured herself.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just ready to start howling." She said leaning up against Garth. Kate felt his warmth and realized something, this felt wrong…yet right. It felt wrong that she was with…well the guy of her dreams to be honest, and yet it felt right for the same reason. She tried to shake her bad feelings away but found they stuck. "So, Garth, I don't know hardly anything about you."

Garth looked at her with what seemed to be concern for a moment before speaking, "Oh yes, right. Well, I really enjoy fitness, working out lunges and such." He said flexing his muscles to Kate's pleasure.

"Anything else, anything a little more personal?" She asked, she realized that this question may have been a little un called for but then again maybe it would ease her mind.

"Well, umm…I like jokes." He said. Kate laughed thinking this was a joke as well, though from a quick glance at Garth she realized her mistake. Work out and Jokes, what a great personality. She though with partial sarcasm.

"That's nice…" She said smiling. Garth gave her a half smile back, then turned to face the path they were walking again, an awkward silence filling the air.

"What about you, what do you like to do?" Garth asked.

What do I like to do? She thought for a moment before answering, "I like to mess around some, but I also like to be serious when I have to be." She just finished as the two arrived at the base of the howling rock formation. She looked around and saw her father enter on the opposite side with an all black wolf. The two said their goodbyes and her father sauntered his way over to them

"Kate, Garth, I hope you're not getting yourselves in any trouble now." Winston said laughing.

Garth gave a nervous chuckle, Kate could tell that her father's presence intimidated him. "No sir, we were just getting ready to go howl actually."

Her father raised an eyebrow, "is that so?"

"Yes," Kate answered blandly.

"Well then," Winston said stepping aside, "Who am I to stop you." He said and the two leisurely walked past him and began climbing up the rocks to find a spot to howl. After about 10 minutes they managed to find one, it was on the east side, blocked off by two huge boulders with one entrance.

Kate now sat opposite to Garth, and looked at her howling partner. His orbs glowing in the moonlight, his hair rustling in the breeze, his muscles seemed to be almost popping out of his body.

"So…" Kate said awkwardly. "Do you want start or do you want me?"

"Ill start," He said very assertively.

Kate watched him suck in a huge breath of air, and raise his head to the stars. I cant wait!

Garth then began to howl, it sounded bad at first it sounded bad, like a squirrel getting hit with a car, but then a louder, more angelic howl filled the air. It sounded like all the good things in life, the sound of a kill hitting the ground, laughter, joy and fun. She felt her insides begin to buzz, her heart began to beat uncontrollably. It felt wonderful; it felt like she was in the embrace of a god almost. She then raised her head and began to howl as well, joining in with the majestic howl, she thought Garth was giving off.

Then, just as it had come, it had gone, like only a whisper. All that was left was the buzz in her body. She lowered her head and looked straight on at Garth, had he really givin off this wonderful sound? I…I feel like I…love him.

Without a word she leaned forward and rubbed noses with Garth. Unable to hear all the shouts of complaint coming from outside the boulders.

Humphrey's POV.

A few seconds after he finished the worst howl of his life, Humphrey heard the howls from the rock formation.

He heard wolves shouting in complaint, trying to figure out who release a bad howl and after a few minutes he began to hear the bushes twigs snap heading in his direction. If they heard it, than im sure my true love did to. He quickly ran over and hid in a bush, watching the rock formation he was just on with anticipation. Who was it going to be?

A small voice inside him told him that she wasn't coming, but he quickly pushed it aside as he continued to watch the clearing. A few wolves came in here and there, first was Winston, then a whole group of black wolves, and finally Eve. Where is she? Where is Kate? He thought.

After a heated argument with one wolf trying to place blame on the other the group dispersed, and thankfully no one found Humphrey lurking in the bushes.

Winston and Eve were the last ones to go, after which Humphrey stood up and heard his back pop like a human rifle. He stretched out before walking back into the clearing, It didn't work…I knew it! He thought before he turned and proceeded down the trail back to the omegas howling rock.

As he walked, Humphrey couldn't decide. He felt happy inside that he had been right about that old tale after all, but yet he still felt that he it should have worked. Something…something inside him said that it had…he just didn't know it yet.

"Look at old glum face over here," Humphrey heard from the bushes, he swiped his head left and right in search of the voice.

"You know what I think our friend here could use…" Humphrey then located the voice and recognized it all at the same time and began sprinting down the path as the voice yelled. "Wolf Pile!"

In an instant his friends all jumped on him at the same time, with big old Mooch toping it all off. Humphrey, in between his wheezes for air, was laughing. Maybe tonight wont be so bad after all.
