Rick's POV

Hutch stood at my door looking nervous. He should be, it was taking everything I had not to lunge at him. He helped Garth try to take me away from my family. My parents, my sister, Kate. he had guts showing up here on my doorstep. Whatever he wanted it must have been important. He looked as though he was choking on his words, trying to get at least something out.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked angrily. Again he opened his mouth to speak but he simply choked once again. I tilted my head as I studied the bastard in front of me. Finally he managed to say something.

"I-I just wanted to s-say that I um… I heard that you were okay, I was glad to hear it. Word spread around school fast, not that I went, I haven't left my room until now. I… was so mad at myself for leaving you there that night… I Just wanted to apologize, I know it's not much but I also need to tell you that…'' Hutch started but didn't finish. He looked down at the floor and shivered. He was cold huh? I was cold the night Garth stabbed me and left me out in fifteen degree weather. But still, he needed to tell me something and he truly did seem like he was sorry, not that I cared. But what was it he said to me before he left again? I'm sorry.

"Come in" I said, stepping to the side and holding the door open. Hutch looked back up at me in disbelief. He was shocked that I was inviting me in. He stayed like that for a moment until finally accepting my invitation. We walked into the living room and sat on the couch.

"Thanks," Hutch said, looking at the floor. He looked as though he didn't want to look at me. Maybe he felt as though he didn't have the right. He didn't. And he certainly didn't deserve to be in my house.

"What did you need to say?" I asked, trying to get to the point. Hutch sighed.

"From what I heard… Some kids at school think you were lying about Garth, not a lot though, just the assholes. Most people are trying to pretend that it didn't happen, other's are staying away from him, they believe you. I think the only reason they believe Garth is because he still has his popularity, the court was enough to convince them…" Hutch explained.

"So then why are you here?" I asked. I wanted to know why Hutch was going behind Garth's back. As well as his friend group.

"What happened that night… I've felt terrible, I don't want to associate with those people anymore, and I can't tell you how sorry I am for letting it happen, I should have stayed or at least stopped it" Hutch said. He then stared up at me. I didn't say anything, I just stared back. "So how's Kate?" Hutch asked. I felt anger rising within me when he asked that. How fucking dare he almost take me from her and then ask about her.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked. I wanted to see how he answered this.

"Well she's here isn't she? I kind of… heard things'' Hutch said. Great, this guy shows up at my doorstep and wants to apologize and the first thing he hears is me and Kate going at it.

"Well that's none of your business now is it?" I asked. Hutch once again looked down at the floor and sighed.

"No, I guess not. Look man I'm not trying to be your friend, I know you want nothing to do with me after what happened. I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry and if you need anything then let me know, I'll give you information as well if Garth tries to do anything stupid, I'm still in the group chats so I'll know, other than that I'm sorry to bother you two, I'm glad you and Kate love each other as much as you do, just… keep her safe, I dont know what Garth is gonna do if he plans on it. But again, I'll let you know" Hutch said as he stood up. He was leaving.

"Here" I said, standing up with him and grabbing a notepad. I wrote down my phone number and gave the paper to him. "I forgive, but I never forget," I said as I handed it to him.

"Thanks Rick," he said. He then walked over to the front door and left. I watched as he entered his car and drove off. He was being sincere about everything he was saying, or so it seemed. Keep Kate safe he said. Well he better bet that I would. I would never let anything happen to her if I could stop it. I locked the door and went back up to my room where I opened the door to see Kate in the same position as before. I shut and locked the door behind me before undressing and crawling back into bed with her. I gave her ear another kiss causing her to smile into the pillow once again and then I laid down next to her. As much as I wanted to cuddle her, I didn't want to wake her up. So I simply shut my eyes to take a nap. Did Hutch really feel guilty about everything that happened? Or was it all just an act? Could I really trust him to give me information in case anything happens? If he was willing to do that against his friend group then he's really risking getting found out, and if he got caught then no telling what they would do to him. I truly did start to believe that he was trying to help and was sorry. The biggest evidence for me was when he left me, he apologized before he left, he looked like he didn't want to but was scared if he didnt, not because he was going to be left there but because he was at risk of suffering the same fate as me. Cando, that son of a bitch, he had nothing to do with the situation and yet he not only helped Garh but was glad to see that I would most likely die, but Hutch… maybe I could trust him.

Shaky's POV

"Angel I'm… I'm gonna, ahhh" I sighed in pure bliss as I felt my orgasim build up, Angel held me close and yelled out in pleasure as I started to shoot my hot seed deep into her. She didn't scream but she was definitely at her loudest during the end. Normally she was quiet, I was starting to realize. Only ever letting out quiet moans and gasps until we climaxed. Angel held me close and panted as our orgasim's died down. We just lay in my bed now sweating and panting. Angel held me into her neck, making me drool as I panted heavily into the pillow. Rubbing my ear with one hand and rubbing my back with the other.

"Good job big boy" she panted. I chuckled and then started kissing her neck again as I started humping slowly again, just to ease my erection. Angel moaned a little bit as I did it. I let out a small moan as well, this was heaven. As for Humphrey and Lilly, we ended up parting ways after the pharmacy trip. We realized that since we were safe now, me and Humphrey could go and cool our girlfriends heat down. So me and Angel went to my place while Humphrey and Lilly went to his. I hoped they were having as much fun as we were. Once I felt satisfied I pulled out of my sweet Angel and turned over to the otherside of the bed. Angel soon cuddled against me, rested her head on my chest while she rubbed at it with her hand.

"We can go for round two in a minute" I said, still trying to regain my stamina. Angel giggled and gave my chest a quick kiss.

"This is gonna be an awesome heat season," Angel said. Wow this girl was horny, maybe even more so than Kate. but I was definitely all for it.

"Yeah it is, just remember to take those pills" I said.

"I will," Angel giggled. We then laid in the bed for what must have been five minutes before Angel spoke again. "Hey Shaky" she called.

"Yeah Angie?" I responded. I could tell by her tone that she wanted to ask something important.

"When we're older, do you maybe… want to have a pup?" Angel asked. I opened my eyes as my heart dropped. Why it dropped I'll never know, it's not like this was happening now.

"Pups? Oh Angie, our pup's would look so cute" I said as I started to warm up to the idea.

"I would love to have a little Shaky running around, taking after his dad," Angel laughed.

"So you… really want to be with me then?" I asked. After all the years of feeling alone and miserable, I Never thought I would be happy again, and find someone who would not only stay with me, but love me. My mother would be so happy for me. I hope I was making her proud.

"Shaky. I never want to leave you, we have so much love to share, I don't know when but… I know one day, I want to have your babies,and if we're talking about the future, I know that Rick and Kate, Humphrey and Lilly, they'll probably live close by, our pups can grow up being around the best people, have the best family, there's so much love in our group, but for awhile, just for awhile I want you all to myself" Angel explained. I smiled as she looked up to meet my gaze.

"I can live with that," I said.

"Oh yeah? You want me and only me too huh?" Angel asked.

"We can always have kids later, but we have a long time until then" I explained.

"A long time… sounds good to me" Angel smiled. She then kissed me again, slipping her tongue in my mouth and licking at mine. She got in between my legs again and put her hands to my ears as she kissed me. I closed my eyes again and kissed back. Once she broke it I smiled.

"So you really do plan on being with me for a long time?" I asked.

"Oh Shaky, I'll always be with you," Angel said. I couldn't escape this saying could I? Maybe it was my mom's way of letting me know that I had moved on, someone had filled in her spot that she had left, thank God it was Angel. I pulled her into another kiss and turned her over to the same spot we were having sex in before. She laughed until going for a kiss once again. While we kissed I started to get hard again, this was the second round I promised her, and it was just as fun and pleasing as the first time.

Lilly's POV

I played with Humphrey's ears as he neared his climax. He was kissing at my chest as I wrapped my legs around him, trying to hold him as deep and close as I possibly could. He was taking long, deep thrusts into me as I felt his penis throb more and more.

"H-Humphrey" I moaned as he simply moaned out with no words. He shot his hot, thick cum into me. Stream after stream making me moan out each time. Half way through Humphrey buried his head into my neck. I held him close as I felt his hot breath on me, his streams still coming, overflowing me and oozing out onto the sheets. I could feel his hot, thick cum start to ooze down my sensitive anus and onto my tail, pooling on the bed. Finally after about ten shots his moans died down as did our orgasims and we lay satisfied. Humphrey lifted his head and smooched my cheek while I was still trying to catch my breath.

"I love you Lilly" he breathed.

"I love you too," I said. Humphrey slid out of me, my lips gripping his dick head as if they didn't want him to leave. Once Humphrey managed to pull it out though I heard the same wet pop sound that always brought joy to my ears. I smiled as he turned over on the other side of the bed and exhaled. I closed my legs to the familiar wet and sticky feeling that I'd come to love and turn over to him and smiled.

"You don't think your mom heard us do you?" I asked. Humphrey opened his eyes and smiled. He then chuckled as he scooted back to rest against the headboard.

"We were kind of loud," he answered.

"Loud? We weren't that loud'' I defended. I wanted to believe it was true. No matter how cool someone is with you having sex, it never makes it any less awkward for them to actually hear you doing it.

"Well we weren't loud, but we were loud enough to hear, '' Humphrey explained. I sighed and reached over to grab my phone on the nightstand. Checking the time I saw that it read 2:23. I put my phone by the pillow so that I didn't have to scoot up again if I wanted to grab it and laid back down. I pulled up the blankets again since they had slid when I reached.

"We're gonna have to go again later" I said.

"Sounds just fine," Humphrey replied, making me laugh.

"It's not too far off from what we normally do" I said. Humphrey leaned over to where his nose was just centimeters from mine. He smiled.

"Oh yeah?" he asked. I giggled.

"Yeah" I said, giving his lips a quick peck. He chuckled and then turned over again, this time to get out of the bed. "Heading downstairs?" I asked. Humphrey started putting his clothes on and turned to me briefly before going back to what he was doing.

"Yeah, I might grab a little something to eat, want me to bring you something?" Humphrey asked. Normally I would have said yes but I didn't want to look any type of bad way with his mom here. Not that my image was perfect but every little bit helps.

"I'll come with you" I said as I sat up and started wiping in between my legs with the blankets. Een though the wetness was gone, my fur down there was still a little damp and sticky, but that was to be expected. I put my clothes back on and followed Humphrey out the door. Reaching the bottom of the steps we saw Humphrey's mom watching TV. I couldn't see if she was looking over in our direction as she heard us coming down the steps, but she called out to us.

"You guys have fun?" she asked. Yep, we were definitely loud enough to be heard. At least she was cool about it.

"So much," Humphrey answered jokingly. He then pulled me into the kitchen where he started looking in the fridge for something. "What did you want?" he asked.

"What do you have in there?" I asked back. He studied the items in his fridge and then opened the freezer to check what was in there. He smiled and reached in, pulling out a frozen pizza. Peperoni hell yes. He showed it to me and I nodded excitedly. Humphrey then closed both doors on the fridge and started to take the pizza out of the box.

"Can you turn the oven on to four-fifty?" he asked.

"Sure," I said. I turned the oven on and set the correct temperature and then opened the oven door. Humphrey brought the pizza over and slid it in. I closed the door and then Humphrey pulled out his phone to set a timer. His mom then walked in and stood at the kitchen island.

"So guys, I wanted to let you know that Lyle is coming over soon," she said. Humphrey tossed the box and wrappings into the trash and then turned to his mom.

"Oh yeah? Cool, I'll finally get to meet the man" He said. Humphrey's mom smiled.

"Who's Lyle?" I asked. I really hoped that question didn't come off as rude, but with what Humphrey just said I can cross off the possibility of this guy being a relative.

"My mom's boyfriend," Humphrey answered. I turned to his mom again and smiled.

"Nice, I'm so happy for you" I said. If anyone deserved a love life, it was Humphrey's mom. She was so kind and sweet, always putting others before herself. Specifically her son, even though we never hung around much, she always offered and was a delight to be around.

"Thanks, I just hope this works out, I haven't dated in so long" his mom said. She then looked at Humphrey and then back at me again. "You guys are using birth control right? It is that time, '' she said. Humphrey and I laughed nervously.

"Yeah, we're all set up," Humphrey assured.

"Are you sure? Why did you two laugh like that?" she asked.

"Because mom, it's awkward" Humphrey said. His mom chuckled and then turned to leave.

"Lyle will be here in a bit, just wanted to tell ya" she said. She then left the room leaving us alone once again.

"Good for her, I hope this works out" I smiled. Humphrey grabbed two water bottles out of the fridge and began walking out of the kitchen. I followed him back up to his room where we sat down on the bed and put his TV on.

"I didn't want to say this down there but I hope it works out too, but I'm afraid it won't, my mom has been let down so many times. She deserves to be happy" Humphrey said in a sad tone.

"If your mom thinks that he's a good enough guy to date after staying single for so long, then he must be really good," I said. Humphrey turned to me and away from the TV with a smile.

"You think?" he asked. I nodded. "I hadn't thought of it like that," Humphrey said. I patted his shoulder and then he went back to searching for something to watch. We ended up watching Silent hill and only paused it when Humphrey's timer went off. Thank God, I was starving and the smell of that pizza was calling me. As we walked down the stairs we stopped descending them when we heard the doorbell ring. Humphrey's mom got up and walked over to the door. She had a bright smile on her face. She must be really happy for Lyle and Humphrey to meet. We started down the stairs again and reached the bottom just as Lyle walked in.

"Hey Myra, good to see ya" he said, giving her a hug. She accepted it and then closed the door after they broke it. Lyle turned to me and Humphrey and smiled. He was a very dark brown wolf with even darker brown hair and green eyes. "You must be the Humphrey I've heard so much about '' he said. Humphrey stepped forward and offered a handshake.

"Yep, that's me, I hope she didn't say too many bad things, '' Humphrey joked. Lyle took Humphrey's hand and shook it.

"All good things, all good things" he repeated. He then looked past Humphrey and over to me. I smiled and tried to be as welcoming as possible.

"Nice to meet you" I greeted, offering him the same hand shake that Humphrey did. Lyle accepted with a smile.

"Myra, you didn't tell me you had a daughter," Lyle said.

"Oh I'm not related to him, I'm his girlfriend" I said. Did we even look related? I've never been told that. I guess it was because I was in the house at this moment.

"Oh your his girlfriend, my apologies" Lyle said. So far he seemed okay.

"Lilly's been with him for over two years now, and she's been a pleasure to be around ever since" Humphrey's mom said. Aww, i'm glad she feels that way.

"So mom tells me that you're a cop, what's that like?" Humphrey asked, changing the subject.

"Well i'm not exactly a cop, I'm a correctional officer, I watch over prisoners and make sure they stay in line" Lyle explained.

"How is it?" I asked.

"Well you get the occasional tough guy, but that usually never lasts long" Lyle said.

"Hey, I think your pizza is done, why don't you guys grab it and make sure it isn't burnt" Humphrey's mom suggested.

"Alright, see ya around Lyle" Humphrey said. He then turned to the kitchen and I followed him as Lyle and Humphrey's mom went into the living room. I took a seat on a stool at the kitchen island as Humphrey took the pizza out of the oven and placed it on a cutting board using a spatula.

"So what do you think?" I asked. Humphrey began cutting the pizza into eights while he answered me.

"I mean I just met him, but he seems like a cool guy," he said. HUmphrey put three slices on one plate and three slices on another. "So did you want to eat down here or in my room?" he asked. I took one of the plates and simply began walking up the stairs, Humphrey followed. On the way up I turned to the living room to see Lyle and Humphrey's mom talking. About what I wasn't sure but they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation. Once me and Humphrey were upstairs we sat back on the bed and continued the movie.

Kate's POV

I started to stir from my sleep, opening my eyes slowly and then yawning as I raised my head out of the pillow and turned over to lay on my back. I felt so relaxed.

"Good, you're up" I heard to my left. I turned to see Rick looking over at me from his phone. From the looks of it he was playing COD mobile.

"You play COD mobile?" I asked.

"Sometimes, only when I have nothing better to do" Rick explained. He went to close the app but I stopped him.

"Don't close it, I wanna watch you: I said, cuddling into him and looking at the screen. Rick chuckled and finished the match which went by quickly. In the end he ended up winning and going 23/4 not bad, he and Lilly would make a great team. Once the match ended he closed his phone and wrapped his arms around me. I giggled as he laid on top of me and pulled me into a kiss.

"Sleep well?" he asked. I giggled again and licked his nose. He smiled as I did, it was jus one long lick.

"I feel so relaxed, we'll have to do that again but next time we'll do our usual okay?" I promised.

"Okay" he whispered. I giggled again and gave him a smooch. Putting my hands behind his ears as I pulled him in. Once I let go he got off of me and sat up. I sat up with him and began fixing my hair, even though I couldn't see it. "So… Hutch came by earlier" Rick said suddenly, making me pause as a wave of uneasiness came over me.

"Hutch? Like… Garth's friend?" I asked.

"Like one of the three that was there that night, '' Rick answered. I felt a surge of anger as he told me.

"What did he want?" I asked.

"He wanted to apologize, and to tell me that he would be on the look out for me if Garth was planning anything, he said he would let me know if something were to happen" Rick explained, I felt fear while he was explaining it to me. I hoped Rick wasnt stupid enough to trust him.

"You can't trust him Rick, what if he's just trying to gain your trust" I said.

"I thought about that, and I don't trust him, but that night… he didn't want to be there, you could see it in his eyes as he watched what Garth did to me. When they left he even tried to get them to take me somewhere, he didn't want to leave me. When he did though he said he was sorry and don't look back. I don't think he could" Rick explained. I leaned over and held Rick's cheeks in my hands so that I could look into his eyes.

"Rick… please dont trust him, I know what it might have looked like that night but you cant trust him… even if he is telling the truth you can't risk it, I… I can't lose you" I said. I wanted him to tell me that he wasn't, that he wasn't going to trust him and he would stay far away from him, and that he was going to be okay.

"Kate… I'm not hanging out with the guy, he's just keeping a lookout, believe me I don't plan on being anywhere near him" Rick explained. I pulled him into a hug and buried my muzzle into his shoulder. Rick returned the hug and rubbed my soft back making me feel even more relaxed then I already did.

"I love you Rick," I said. I could feel the tears start to build in my eyes as the thought of losing him crept into my mind.

"I won't leave you Kate, I promise" Rick said. He then pulled back and rested his head against mine. I exhaled as I relaxed into his embrace. Even when we were just friends this was so relaxing. I think it's one of the many reasons I fell in love with him. I breathed as I enjoyed his touch, I then felt him scoop up my tongue with his as he gave me a nice, loving kiss. Once he broke it he looked into my eyes with a reassuring smile.

"I believe you" I smiled.

"Good, now we should probably shower before my parents get home, they'll definitely smell us," Rick said, standing up. I then got an idea.

"Alright but um… can I maybe… join you?" I asked. Rick turned to face me with what looked like a somewhat surprised expression. It quickly faded though, turning into a smile as he offered his hand to me. I smiled back and took it. We opened the window real quick and then made our way to the bathroom for a nice, romantic shower.

Humphrey's POV

As we were watching the movie I heard the front door shut. I guess Lyle had left. I knew it was too soon to make a final judgment but from what I saw he seemed okay. I guess he had to go to work tomorrow so he didn't stay long. I pulled out my phone to see that it was 8:32 at night. After checking I put the phone back in my pocket and finished the movie with Lilly. After that I decided to take the plates downstairs. I had asked if Lilly wanted anything but she politely declined. I nodded and made my way down the stairs. Once reaching the bottom I saw that the living room TV had been turned off and the light in the kitchen was on. I walked in to see my mom drinking a glass of wine.

"How was everything?" I asked. I threw the plates in the trash and sat across from my mom at the kitchen island.

"Fine, what did you think of him?" mom asked back.

"Well I haven't exactly spent a whole lot of time with him but he seems okay" I answered. Mom took a sip out of her glass and sighed. "What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"When Lyle left… he wanted a kiss, I told him no and that it was too soon, I hope I didn't make a bad choice" mom said. I felt a little bad when mom said that, she was being too self conscious.

"Well mom, if you don't feel comfortable doing something then don't, and if he loves you then he'll understand. What was this you're first actual date?" I asked.

"Date, we sat at my house, can you even call it a date?" mom asked. She was really doubting herself.

"Yeah, you can have a date at home, I don't see why not" I answered. Mom sighed again.

"Yeah, it was our first actual date then," she said.

"Well… me and Lilly hung out a lot before we actually kissed. We spent a lot of time together but didn't actually end up dating until after we kissed, so I can't exactly comment on anything, but if you don't feel comfortable doing something, and i'm gonna say this again, don't do it" I said. Mom nodded and took a sip of her wine again.

"I just don't want to be alone," she said.

"You won't be," I replied. Mom looked up at me with a smile.

"I'm so lucky to have a son like you, I'm sure me and Lyle will get there but… I just need time" mom explained.

"I get it, so did you eat?" I asked,

"No, I was looking at those pizza slices though" mom answered.

"Have 'em, me and Lilly are done," I said.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Positive" I answered.

"Thanks, you should go back up there, she's probably wondering where you are" mom suggested. I nodded and then walked around the table to give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Love ya mom" I said, turning around to walk out the kitchen.

"Love you too Humphrey" she called. I made my way up the stairs and over to my room. By then Lilly had put on family guy and was just laying on the bed watching.

"Sorry, I was talking to mom," I said. I shut the door and crawled onto the bed with Lilly.

"You're fine," Lilly replied. I then pulled her into a kiss. Licking at her tongue, shutting our eyes and taking in the moment. Once we broke it we looked into each other's eyes in silence.

"Round two?" I asked. Lilly giggled and pulled me into not only another kiss but on top of her as well.
