P.V. Normal

Scoot: I sighed and said, "Well, I'll tell you what I know"

Catalina: "We listen to you," I said

Scoot: "This is more of an old legend of the pack, I don't know if it's true," I emphasized

Catalina: "We understand, now tell us" I said a little impatiently

Scoot: "Well, how impatient," I said, then I began to tell them, "It is said that a wolf reaches the top when it becomes Delta, but that it is an extremely tortuous path, that one must walk alone and those who follow him achieve, they have to sacrifice something valuable to them" I explained

Jhosh: "Sacrifice what?" I asked

Scoot: "I don't know, that's never specified, it's just said that it's something valuable to the wolf," I explained

Catalina: I thought for a moment and asked, "Did Humphrey know that before he left?"

Scoot: I shook my head and I said, "I didn't tell him, the truth is it seems like a simple worthless legend to me and I didn't want to worry him"

Jhosh: "Do you think that's true?" I asked to Catalina

Catalina: "I hope not, although I won't deny that something did change in him," said with concern

Scoot: "No one knows what had to happen there, not to mention the pressure you must be feeling," I said

Jhosh: "That's true, right now he needs our support more than ever" I said nodding

Catalina: "You're right," I said, nodding

Meanwhile with Humphrey

Humphrey: I dragged the sigmas to a cave, luckily some alphas were passing by, "you three come here" I ordered

The alphas were surprised to see Humphrey and approached

"I didn't know you were back," one of them said with surprise

Humphrey: "I just arrived," I explained

"How can we help you?" another alpha asked

Humphrey: "I need you to keep an eye on these two, for nothing in the world should you release them and as soon as they wake up, I want you to tell me" I ordered

"I understand sir, but we were going to go hunting," one of the alphas said

Humphrey: "That can wait, this is a higher priority," I said seriously

"We understand," said the alphas as they nodded

Humphrey: "I'll be in my cave," I said

"Okay sir," said one of the alphas

Humphrey: I nodded and started walking to my cave, as I walked, I thought about what my sensei told me and what I learned in this cave, "I made a big mistake" I said to myself with a sigh, I stopped when I was in front of me. cave, I could hear them, my puppies had just been born, but instead of being happy I felt a terrible emptiness inside me, I didn't know how to face it, but I couldn't stay here forever, "It's not fair" I said to myself sadly, after a while I took a deep breath and looked out the entrance, "Can I come in?" I asked

Sally: "Go ahead," I said

Humphrey: I nodded and entered the cave, where I saw Kate feeding 6 puppies, "Did everything go well?" I asked Sally

Sally: I nodded and said smiling, "It's good to see you back and that's right, six healthy puppies were born"

Humphrey: "That's great, I appreciate it," I said, smiling

Sally: "I was just doing my duty, now I'll leave you alone, but I'll stay close in case you need me" I said before leaving

Humphrey: I nodded and approached Kate, "How are you feeling?" I asked worried

Kate: "Very tired and sore, but also very happy," I said with a smile

Humphrey: I smiled and said, "The important thing is that you are happy"

Kate: "I knew you would arrive" I said smiling

Humphrey: "Sorry for making you wait" I apologize

Kate: "That doesn't matter silly, the important thing is that you are here, now come and meet our pups" I said tenderly

Humphrey: I nodded and approached my puppies, I could see how they were trying to move to get closer to their mother and a strange sensation invaded me, "they are beautiful" I said moved

Kate: "Of course they are," I said, smiling

Humphrey: "Did you name them?" I asked curiously

Kate: "I wanted to do it with you, but it will have to be later, I'm quite tired" I said tiredly

Humphrey: "Rest, darling," I said lovingly while licking her cheek

Kate: "I will be able to sleep peacefully knowing that you are by my side" I said smiling before closing my eyes and falling deeply asleep

Humphrey: I sighed when she said that, "I wish these moments could last forever, but I chose my path and I know what I must do" I said to myself with some sadness

Meanwhile with Catalina

Catalina: I had taken Jhosh and Scoot to the healers' cave and now I was heading to Humphrey's cave, "I hope these are just my ideas," I thought worriedly, I would never forgive myself if I don't manage to get old Humphrey back, during the During the trip I had noticed that he was normal, but since we arrived at the territory he began to act strangely. When I arrived at his cave I called him from the entrance, "Humphrey, are you here?"

Humphrey: "I'm coming out," I said, before petting one of my puppies and leaving the cave, "What happened?" asked

Catalina: "I already took Scoot and Jhosh to the healers, Scoot will be fine in a few days, but it seems that Jhosh will take longer, he was quite injured" I informed

Humphrey: "I understand, we will have to manage without them" I said

Catalina: "At least I doubt they will attack us for a while, I gave that attack group a good beating" I said

Humphrey: "I wouldn't count on that, surely that would only increase their desire to attack and destroy us" I said seriously

Catalina: I sighed and said, "Maybe you're right, we should clarify everything before we have to spill more blood unnecessarily"

Humphrey: "Okay and we must do it before the others act against us" I said seriously

Catalina: "It's true," I said, nodding, "Although we must also locate those responsible," I said seriously

Humphrey: "That will be even more complicated," I said

Catalina: "I don't doubt it, they were able to hide even in the best moment of the elite alphas" I said

Humphrey: "We'll figure out how to find them," I said

Catalina: "Changing the subject, what happened to you?" I asked seriously but with concern

Humphrey: "What do you mean?" I asked him, trying to hide it

Catalina: "You know what I mean, you haven't acted normally since we arrived at the pack," I said seriously

Humphrey: "It's nothing," I said as I looked to the side

Catalina: I bit him by the ear and started dragging him

Humphrey: "OUCH, OUCH, stop" I said with pain

Catalina: "If you are going to behave like a rebellious puppy, I will treat you like a rebellious puppy," I said seriously

Humphrey: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but let me go," I said

Catalina: I let him go and said seriously, "I listen to you"

Humphrey: "But let's not talk here, I don't want anyone to hear us" I said

Catalina: I nodded and I said, "I'll follow you"

Humphrey: We moved several meters away from the cave, enough so that they couldn't hear us, but we were still close enough to keep an eye on it

Catalina: "Now, tell me," I said seriously

Humphrey: I sighed and began to said, "When I was training, I was in a very difficult test, I had to escape from a maze, which tested all my abilities, there were times when I thought I would die"

Catalina: "What happened?" I asked surprised

Humphrey: "At that moment I had a revelation and it was that I was being held back," I explained

Catalina: "Held? Why?" I asked confused

Humphrey: "Because of my feelings and emotions, I was in such a hurry to finish that training and get back to Kate, that I ignored many things about my training, when I put all those thoughts out of my mind and my heart, I was able to focus and see everything with clarity. that I had never experienced before," I explained

Catalina: "Did you really give up those feelings and emotions?" asked

Humphrey: "Yes, or at least I thought so," I said with a sigh

Catalina: "Why do you say that?" aske

Humphrey: "When I saw my newborn puppies, I felt again everything that I thought I had left behind, and now my mind is cloudier than ever," I said while sighing

Catalina: "But that's very good," I said happily

Humphrey: "It's not, I'm much weaker that way, I won't be able to make the most of my abilities," I said with frustration

Catalina: "I don't know what you had to go through, but whatever it was I filled your head with nonsense, what's the point of becoming so strong if you have nothing to protect" I said seriously

Humphrey: "Everything becomes a distraction and a weakness that others can exploit," I explained

Catalina: When he said I really understood what had happened and what he had done, "Do you really think that if you distance yourself from everyone you care about, they will be safe?" asked

Humphrey: "It's the only way," I said with a sigh

Catalina: "You made that decision too late, the sigmas surely know about Kate and your puppies, and if they know it is most likely that the shadow society also knows it" I said

Humphrey: "I know," I said angrily as I hit the ground in anger, "If I had known everything that entailed, the best thing is that I would have disappeared with Kate and lived a quiet life in some forest away from everyone," I said with frustration

Catalina: "Would that have been the best thing for everyone?" asked

Humphrey: I shook my head and said with a sigh, "No, just for me and Kate, I know it's selfish, but I just want a quiet life with the one I love"

Catalina: "Yes, it is selfish, but in the end, it is what everyone wants, so don't feel bad for having those thoughts," I said

Humphrey: "That's the problem, as a Delta I have the duty to look out for everyone and be the first to face dangers in order to protect them all, even if my loved ones are in danger because of it, that's why Deltas shouldn't have families, not even friends, his life is only to help the pack" I explained

Catalina: "What? I didn't know that," I said, surprised

Humphrey: "I learned it during training, that is why the conditions to become a delta is to have formed your own pack, since that is how you are committed to protecting it" I explained

Catalina: "I understand that part, but the fact of not having a family or friends seems excessive to me," I said without being able to believe it

Humphrey: "As I said, it is to avoid having distractions and preferences, but also to prevent him from being extorted through his family," I explained

Catalina: "I see, it's no wonder Scoot said that the Deltas were sacrificing something important," I thought, "But those are old habits, the elite alphas are practically finished, we are the last and we can take another course," I said

Humphrey: "Maybe, but they were created for a reason in the first place, it will be very difficult not to fall back into those habits again" I said with a sigh

Catalina: "And what do you plan to do?" asked

Humphrey: "The best thing is to kill everyone, the elite alphas and the sigmas," I said seriously

Catalina: "Just like the shadow society tried to do?" I asked seriously

Humphrey: I was silent for a moment and said, "Yes"

Catalina: "It is absurd to make such drastic decisions. Do you know how many wolves will be affected?" I asked seriously

Humphrey: "Not many thanks to the shadow society," I said with a sigh

Catalina: "There are still several wolves, do you think you can live with yourself if you make that decision?" asked

Humphrey: I sighed and said "I have no problem with killing off those who threaten us, but I couldn't do it with wolves that have nothing to do with it"

Catalina: I felt relieved when I heard it and I said, "It's good, the Humphrey I know hasn't disappeared"

Humphrey: "What should I do?" I asked, feeling very lost

Catalina: "In my opinion, you should live as you feel happiest, forget about everything about elite alphas and sigmas, just try to be happy and take care of your pack, you know that we will support you until the end" I said smiling

Humphrey: "I know, thank you" I said smiling

Catalina: "Now don't worry and enjoy your family, we'll take care of everything else" I said smiling

Humphrey: "I'll try," I said, nodding, at that moment I could see an alpha approaching my cave, "Something happened," I said seriously as I approached my cave

Catalina: I walked next to him until we were in front of the alpha

Humphrey: "Are they already awake?" I asked when I recognized the alpha

"That's right sir," the alpha said while nodding

Humphrey: "I'll go right away," I said seriously

Catalina: "Who woke up?" asked

Humphrey: "The sigmas that Jhosh and Scoot managed to Capture" I explained

Catalina: "I see, in that case I will take charge, you stay with your family" I said

Humphrey: "But," I protested, but she interrupted me

Catalina: "but nothing, what did I just tell you?" I said seriously

Humphrey: "I know, but it's important," I said

Catalina: "That's why I'll take care of it, and you know that this concerns me as much or more than it does you," I said seriously

Humphrey: I sighed and said, "Okay, but keep me informed"

Catalina: "I will," I said, nodding, then I turned to the alpha and asked, "Where are they?"

"This way," the alpha said before starting to walk

Humphrey: I watched as Catalina and the alpha left, then I focused my attention on my cave. "I hope I'm doing the right thing," I thought before entering
