Chapter 1

Humphrey's POV

I slowly started to wake up from my sleep. I lifted my head up and looked around my den, noticing that Kate wasn't there.

'Hmm, I wonder if Kate had some alpha duties to do this morning.' I thought to myself.

Just then I heard a loud crash outside and decided to check it out. Outside I saw my বন্ধু Salty, Shakey, and Mooch all piled on শীর্ষ of each other and a shattered log দ্বারা a rock. I started walking over to them to see what happened.

"Hey guys." I called as I walked over to them. "What happened?"
"We were doing some log স্লেডিং and we crashed into another rock." Replied Salty.
"Ya we broke another sled." ব্যক্ত Mooch.
"You guys went log স্লেডিং without me?" I asked.
"Well we didn't want to bother আপনি while আপনি were sleeping" Salty said.
"Oh, well আপনি better include me the পরবর্তি time আপনি go log sledding." I said.
"Sure thing, Oh and দ্বারা the way I think Winston wants to have a word with you." Shakey said.
"Ok, thanks for the update." I ব্যক্ত as I walked away to Winston and Eve's den.

'Oh no I hope Winston didn't find out what me and Kate did last night.' I thought to myself. 'Hopefully Eve doesn't kill me.' I kept walking trying to shake the thought out of my head.
__________________________________________________

I made my way to the entrance of Winston and Eve's den.

"Winston Sir, আপনি wanted to see me?" I called in
"Ah yes Humphrey I did, have a seat." he ব্যক্ত as he patted a spot in the dirt with his paw.
"So what did আপনি want see me about?" I asked as I sat down.
"Well I saw that Kate's পশম was a little messy and dirty, and she had your sent all over her. I was just wondering if what I think happened, happened."
A chill when down my spine "Y-Yes Sir me and Kate did mate last night, but she is my mate after all." I managed to say, hoping he wouldn't get mad at me.
"I understand that Humphrey, to be honest I knew it would happen." he said.
"So you’re not mad?" I asked making sure.
"No I am not mad." He replied. "The main reason I called আপনি over here is because I wanted to know if you’re ready if Kate got pregnant."
"Don't worry Sir I'll stand দ্বারা Kate 100% and take care of her, besides they are my কুকুরছানা too after all." I ব্যক্ত imagining what it would be like to be a father.
"Good, I believe আপনি would be a great father." he said.
"Thank আপনি sir." I said. "Can I go now?"
"Yes আপনি can, I believe Kate and her hunting party just got back from her hunt too." he said.
"Ok see আপনি later Sir." I ব্যক্ত as I walked out of the den.

I started heading to where some of the pack had gathered to greet the hunting party as they returned. I started looking around for Kate but I didn't see her anywhere. Then I saw Hutch.

"Hey Hutch have আপনি seen Kate anywhere?" I asked
"Yes I have, she’s on her way here. She's hasn't been feeling to good today and has been walking slowly." He replied. "You will find her if আপনি head that way." He pointed with his paw down the trail.
"Ok, thanks." I ব্যক্ত then I started walking fast down the trail. 'I hope Kate is ok.' I thought to myself.
_______________________________________________

After a little while I found Kate slowly walking up the trail.

"Hi Kate, are আপনি ok?" I asked. I was really concerned because she for sure looked nauseous.
"Hi Humphrey, to be honest, I-" She stopped and threw up.
"Eww, I think we should go see your mom. She should know what’s wrong with you." I ব্যক্ত
"Ok Humphrey, but can আপনি please help me; I'm having trouble walking." she replied.
"Of course, আপনি can lean against me as we walk." I ব্যক্ত walking up beside her.

We started walking to Winston and Eve's den, Kate leaning against my shoulders. We stopped a few times when Kate had to throw up.

Chapter 2

Humphrey's POV


It was dark when Kate and I made it to Winston's and Eve's den. Kate was feeling a little better which was a relief to me.
"Hi mom." Kate ব্যক্ত as we walked in.
"Hello Kate and Humphrey, what brings আপনি here?" Eve asked.
"Well Kate hasn't been feeling to well and she's thrown up a few times." I told her.
"Well, Kate have আপনি eaten any bad meat অথবা drank some bad water?" Eve asked her.
"I haven't eaten at all today, and I had some water from the stream on the way here, so I don't think that's why I'm sick." Kate replied.
"Have আপনি gotten any ticks at all?" Eve asked.
"None at all" Kate said.
"I see, Humphrey can আপনি please step outside for a minute." Eve asked.
"No problem." I said. I walked outside the গর্ত and looked at the stars.

Kate's POV

"I've got good news, you're not sick at all." Eve told me.
"I'm not?" I asked.
"No it's much better than that, Kate your pregnant!" Eve ব্যক্ত with a smile.
My jaw dropped. "You mean..." I said
"Yes আপনি and Humphrey are going to be parents." She said.
I smiled. 'I didn't think I would get pregnant from last night, but I guess I was wrong.'
"I have to tell Humphrey! He'll be so happy." I said. "Hey Humphrey I got good news!"
"What is it Kate?" He ব্যক্ত as he walked back inside the den.
"Well আপনি remember what happened last night right." I said
"All too clear." He ব্যক্ত with a sly smile.
"Well... I'm pregnant!" I ব্যক্ত with a big smile.

I was surprised at what happened পরবর্তি because Humphrey did what every omega would do, he fainted.
__________________________________________________

Humphrey's POV

I woke up not remembering what happened. I lifted my head up I was in Winston's and Eve's den.

"Oh good you’re ok." Kate said, and then she nuzzled me.
"What happened? All I remember is walking back in here because আপনি had good news to tell me and now I'm here." I said.
"You fainted sweetie" Kate said.
"Why did I faint?” I asked, then it started coming back to me. “Hold on it's coming back now. I walked in, আপনি asked me if I remembered last night, then I ব্যক্ত yes. Then আপনি ব্যক্ত আপনি were..." The realization hit me. "Pregnant." I finished.
"Yes I did." She said, smiling at me.

Her golden brown eyes looking right at me, she always had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. I smiled back at her.

"You mean I'm going to be a father?" I asked smiling.
"Yes আপনি are sweetie." She replied, licking my cheek.

'I can't believe it, I’m going to be a father, I'm so excited!' I thought 'Oh no that means Kate and I can't go on another adventure together, I was going to ask her today.' I looked at Kate.

"I'm excited that were going to be parents, but I was going to ask আপনি today if আপনি wanted to go on another adventure together, but now it looks like we won't be able to for a while now." I said.
"Aw man, cause I would have wanted to go with you." Kate said.
"Well Kate আপনি can go on an adventure as long as your back here in a week. If আপনি go longer আপনি will be too big and might not make it home." Eve said.
"Thanks mom." Kate said, she then looked at me. "Well Humphrey, আপনি still want to go on that adventure of yours." She asked.
"Of course I do." I ব্যক্ত wagging my tail.
She giggled. "Ok we will leave first thing in the morning." She said.
"Ok let's get back to our গর্ত I'm getting tired." I said.
"Ya same here, goodbye mom." Kate said.

We started walking back to our den. I looked up at the stars and the full moon.

"It sure is a beautiful night." I said.
"Yah." Kate ব্যক্ত walking পরবর্তি me.
"But it's not as beautiful as your eyes." I said, looking into her eyes as we walked.

I could see that see was blushing under her fur. I really am a lucky নেকড়ে to have beautiful mate who loves me. I nuzzled her.

She giggled. "What was that for?" She joked as we walked up to our den.
"Because I প্রণয় আপনি and that I'm glad that I got a beautiful mate like you." I said.
"Aww I প্রণয় আপনি too, you’re so sweet." she said, then she licked my cheek.

I walked to the back of the den.

"Goodnight Kate." I ব্যক্ত lying down in the corner of our den.

Kate laid down পরবর্তি to me and curled up against me.

Flashback
Humphrey's POV

I was walking back প্রথমপাতা to my parents গর্ত after playing with my other pup বন্ধু when I heard two human voices. I quickly ran for cover under a গুল্ম but I stepped on a twig and shaped it

"What was that." I heard one of the humans say.
"I don't know but it came from over here." The other human said.

I started running but it was too late the humans saw me running away.

"Look there's a wolf, give me the tranquilizer gun." The man said.

I kept running but I then felt a pinch on my side. I yelped and looked to see a dart attached to me. I started to feel funny I was laughing and falling over, then I passed out.

"Bag him up boys, were going to Jasper Park." the man with the dart gun said.

I woke up in a dark box and I started trying to get out but it was no use. I started to get scared 'What if I never see my parents again, I'll just be a pup with no parents to protect me. I'll be trapped in here forever.' I started crying.

After an ঘন্টা অথবা so I felt the বাক্স begin to সরানো then it was put back down.

"Alright let him go" I heard a man say.

The Gate door slid open and I jumped out and started running, I wasn't sure where to but as far away from the humans as possible. I looked behind me I didn't see any humans behind me but when I turned around I saw a tan নেকড়ে pup. It was too late to stop I ran right into her. I landed on the ground, and quickly got back up on my paws and walked over to her.

"I am so sorry I did not see আপনি there. Are আপনি ok?" I asked.

The tan নেকড়ে pup got back up on her paws. I got a good look at her, she was beautiful, she had golden tan পশম with golden brown eyes to match. She appeared to be the same age as me.

"That's alright I wasn't looking where I was going." She replied. "I'm Kate."
"I'm Humphrey." I said.
"Nice to meet you, আপনি don't look like you’re from around here." Kate said.
"That cause I'm not I was brought over here from where I lived with my parents." I said.
"I'm sorry to hear that. আপনি know আপনি could come live with my pack. We'll give আপনি খাবার and shelter." She said.
"Well..." I trailed off. I wanted to start walking back home, where ever that is, but I guess I could start my life here in Jasper. "Ok, I'll stay with your pack."
"Great." Kate said. "Come on I'll take আপনি to my parents, there the pack leaders. Race আপনি there!" she yelled and started running.

“Hey wait up!” I yelled and started running after her.

I guess it won't be so bad here.

End of Flashback

Chapter 3

Humphreys POV

The sun rose over the mountains of Jasper park. I opened my eyes and inhaled the moist morning air. It had rained the night before and there were a bunch of puddles on the ground. I felt something warm pressed up against me, I looked down and see Kate curled up against me. She always looked so peaceful and pretty when she slept, I didn't want to disturb her so I just laid there until she woke up.

About ten মিনিট later she started stir and she rolled over, when she did our noses touched. I just laid there smiling. Kate finally opened her eyes.

She notice our noses were touching and giggled. "Well good morning sweetie." She said
I blushed "Good morning." I said, not wanting this moment to end.
"Well I'd like to be like this forever but we should get going." I ব্যক্ত to her
She got up and stretched. "Okay where did আপনি want to go?" she asked me
"Well I'm not too sure but how about we just head south over the mountains and see the sights and explore the area." I ব্যক্ত "I've heard that there's a place called Montana south of here."
"Ok that sounds great, let's get going" she ব্যক্ত walking out the den.
"Fine with me." I ব্যক্ত walking out behind her.

The sky was clear not a single মেঘ but the the ground and pine trees were still damp from the rain last night. Kate and I started walking south through the forest.
"So why did আপনি want to go to this place called Montana." Kate asked me
"Well আপনি remember the দিন we met right?" I asked
"Yes I do." She said
"Well I was transported from my প্রথমপাতা in Montana." I said
"You never told me where আপনি came from আপনি just ব্যক্ত আপনি were relocated." She said
"Well I never thought it was important." I said
"I'm guessing that আপনি want to see your parents and where আপনি grew up again, right?" She asked
"Yes it would be nice to see them again and catch up." I admitted "It’s been over 3 years since I've seen them and I've really missed them."
"Well I've always wanted to meet আপনি parents." Kate ব্যক্ত smiling at me.
"Well hopefully they won't embarrass me in front of you." I joked
She laughed "I'm sure they will, like all parents do." she said
"Ya" I laughed
__________________________________________________

Kate's POV

Humphrey and I have been walking for most of the দিন now, and I was building up a hunger. We were just descending down a mountain that we had climbed earlier. We walked out into a clearing, I smelled the air, I could smell a herd of caribou not to far away. In fact I could see them on the other side of the clearing, eating the grass.
"Look," I ব্যক্ত to Humphrey, pointing to the caribou.
"Dinner" Was all he said
"Stay here and stay low I’ll take the one on the left." I ব্যক্ত starting to walk toward the hurd.
Humphrey got up and put a paw in front of me to stop me. "How bout I catch this one for you." He said
"But আপনি don't know how to hunt." I stated
"I've learned a thing অথবা two watching আপনি hunt, besides your carrying new life and I don't want আপনি to get hurt." He told me
"Alright fine আপনি can take him down, but please be careful, I don't want আপনি getting hurt." I said
"Don't worry I'll be careful" He ব্যক্ত as he got down low and started walking toward the hurd.
__________________________________________________

Humphrey's POV

I stayed low to the ground as I stalked the caribou just like Kate did when I watched her hunt. I slowly got closer and closer, I had the advantage because I was down wind of the herd.
I was finally close enough to the herd, I hid behind a rock waiting for the moment. I remember that Kate always went for the throat when she hunted, so I knew that was the spot I wanted to go to. The sound of a কাক in the distance distracted the caribou, it was the perfect moment to strike. I lunged toward the unexpected caribou, I bit down on the caribous throat. The caribou tried to sake me off and succeeded, I was thrown into a rock braking a few ribs. I yelled in pain. I then saw Kate jump out and tackled the caribou biting its neck, killing it instantly. After she killed the caribou she ran over to me, a worried look on her face.
"Oh my gosh, Humphrey are আপনি ok?" she asked worryingly
"Yah I'm fine," I ব্যক্ত "but I think I broke a rib অথবা two." I tried getting up but grunted in pain and fell back over. Luckily Kate caught me before I hit the ground.
"Aww আপনি poor thing." She ব্যক্ত "Let’s find a place to stay the night before আপনি get hurt even more."
"Ok but আপনি might need to কারি me." I told her
"That's fine." She ব্যক্ত getting under me and lifting me up on her shoulders.

She carried me for a couple of মিনিট before she found a cave.
"This looks like a good spot." she ব্যক্ত walking in and laying my down on the floor of the dark and damp cave.
"You stay here and rest. I need to go back and get the caribou for dinner." she said.
"Okay." Is all I said.

Kate ran out of the গর্ত and back to the meadow where the caribou was. I decided to go outside and look out at the stars. I managed to painfully get up, my side still hurting. I slowly walked out and sat back down outside the entrance of the cave, I looked up at the stars admiring how pretty they were. I then felt something hard hit me in the back of my head. "Ow" I ব্যক্ত scratching the back of my head. I looked down an saw a small round rock, 'It kind of looks familiar.' I thought to myself.
"Oh I am so sorry there Mr. নেকড়ে I guess I still have a lousy shot." I heard a familiar voice say behind me.
I turned around and was shocked to see Marcel and Paddy standing right behind me. "Marcel, Paddy!" I yelled greeting them.
"Ah nice to see আপনি again Humphrey." Marcel said
"Why yes it is." Paddy said
"What are আপনি guys doing here?" I asked
"We were on our way back to Jasper to see how things have been going with আপনি and your girlfriend," Marcel ব্যক্ত "but it seems that you’re out here. Speaking of your girlfriend where is she?" He asked
"Oh well she went to go find something to eat for us, she'll be back soon." I said
"So what are the two of আপনি doing out here?" Paddy asked
"Well Kate and I decided to go on a little adventure together before she gets too big to be unable to move." I said
"What do আপনি mean too big?" Marcel asked
"Oh that's right আপনি guys didn't know that Kate's pregnant." I ব্যক্ত remembering
The two of them looked at each other then back at me. "Well congrats Humphrey." Marcel said
"Why yes, I see that the two of আপনি finally got around the repopulating." Paddy joked
I laughed "Ya your right."

We talked for a few মিনিট until I saw Kate waking over dragging a dead caribou in her jaws. When she finally got up to the গর্ত she noticed that Marcel and Paddy were standing পরবর্তি to me. She dropped the caribou and hugged them both.
"It's nice to see আপনি two." she ব্যক্ত hugging them, she let them go. "What are আপনি two doing here?" she asked
"Well we were on our way to see how things were going back in Jasper but I looks like আপনি two are on a little adventure." Marcel ব্যক্ত "Oh and congrats On getting pregnant."
"Thank you." she ব্যক্ত giggling, this made me smile.
"So where are আপনি two headed on this little adventure?" Paddy asked
"Well we are heading to Montana to find my parents." I said
"He hasn't seen them in over 3 years." Kate added
"But how did আপনি get to Jasper when আপনি were born in Montana?" Marcel asked
"Well it all started a long time ago." I said, I told them of when I was kidnaped দ্বারা humans and taken to Jasper Park.
"Wow so after all this time you've never seen your parents?" Marcel asked
"Not even once." I said
"Wow I bet আপনি really miss them." He said
"Ya I do." I said
"Well Montana isn't too much farther from here, I say maybe about one আরো দিন of traveling any you'll be there." Paddy said
"Good that leaves us 3 days to find Humphrey's parents and 2 days to travel back home." Kate said
"Great." I said
"Well I guess we should be going, I need to practice my golf skills a little more." Marcel said
"I agree." Paddy said
"We'll see আপনি two later, goodbye and good luck." Marcel said
"Thank you, goodbye." Kate and I ব্যক্ত in unison.

Marcel and Paddy got up and flew away leaving me and Kate alone.

"Well what are we waiting for I'm starving." I ব্যক্ত biting into the caribou leg.
"Me too." Kate said, biting the caribous stomach.

After me and Kate ate the caribou we licked each other’s faces clean and Kate checked on my injuries. After living with her mother so long she learned a few methods of healing up cuts and bruises. Like putting herbs on the wounds and patching them up with leaves. We decided to call it a night and go to বিছানা to get an early start tomorrow.
"Goodnight Kate." I ব্যক্ত to Kate
"Goodnight Humphrey." She ব্যক্ত back

We both laid down পরবর্তি to each other, Kate curled up পরবর্তি to me for warmth. We both slept peacefully, We had another long দিন of traveling ahead of us.

Chapter 4

Humphrey's POV

It was a restless night I managed to sleep an ঘন্টা অথবা two but other than that the pain of my broken ribs kept me uncomfortable. I just laid there হারিয়ে গেছে in thought, I didn't want to wake Kate up because she needed her rest. I put my head down between my paws and started দিন dreaming.
__________________________________________________________

Flashback
Humphrey's POV

"Hey wait up." I yelled as I ran after Kate. We just met the দিন before and we instantly became friends.
"You can't catch me." Kate teased
"Oh ya." I challenged

I ran faster than I ever thought I could. I caught up with her, I jumped and tackled her to the ground. We started rolling down the পাহাড় that leads into a great valley, we rolled all the way down the hill. When we got to the bottom and stopped rolling, I looked down and noticed the Kate was under me, our noses were touching.

I quickly got off her, I was embarrassed.
"That was fun." Was all I could say felling awkward I tried to change the subject. "Wow this place sure is beautiful." I said, I was accepted into the pack but I hadn't seen the whole territory yet.
"I know, that's why I প্রণয় it here." She said
"Ya but আপনি know what." I ব্যক্ত putting my paw on her shoulder "Tag you're it!" I yelled and started running down into the meadow.
"Hey no fair I wasn't ready." I heard Kate say as I ran away.

I kept running down the valley as fast as I could, trying to out run Kate. Unfortunately she was faster and caught up to me.

She pressed her paw on my side. "Now you're it." she ব্যক্ত stopping and running the other direction.

I ran after her trying to catch back up to her, she was a long way ahead of me. I could tell she was running back toward the main গর্ত area of our territory. I decided that I could catch her দ্বারা just running after her, no she was way too fast for me. I decided the only way I could catch her was to outsmart her. I turned and took a short cut to the গর্ত area. I kept running trying to beat her there I was almost there. 'You're almost there.' I thought in my head still running. I entered the area and skidded to a halt.

I quickly looked around, I didn't see her anywhere. 'I beat her.' I thought. I decided to hide behind a গুল্ম that was near the outside of the camp. I waited in the shadows for Kate to come running in, I waited for what seemed like hours. After waiting I could tell that something was wrong, Kate was good at finding her way around. I decided to go out and look for her, even though I was so post to be an Omega I was very brave. I believe it's a trait that came from my father. I started walking back to where I last saw her and catch her sent from there. I started running 'I hope she's okay.' I thought, even though I couldn't tell it yet I was beginning to get feelings for Kate.

I ran out into the meadow and over to the spot where I last saw Kate. I smelled the air looking for her sent "Got it." I ব্যক্ত running into the forest. I kept running her sent slowly getting stronger. Ran out into a clearing, I could see a young tan নেকড়ে lying on the ground, motionless. It was Kate. 'Oh no' I thought, I ran over to her. There were not cuts অথবা bruises on her, she just looked normal. I started to panic, I had no idea what to do. 'If she's dead then her parents might blame me for it.' I thought to myself, thinking of what to do. 'I guess I'll just take her to her parents, they'll know what to do.' I thought, picking her up on my shoulders. I carried her to her parents den, hopping that she wasn't dead.

Later

I walked into up to Winston and Eve's den. I cleared my throat. "May I come in sir?" I asked
"Yes আপনি can." I could hear Winston say from inside his den.
I walked into the den, Kate limp body on my shoulders. I placed her on the ground in the center of the den.
Winston's eyes widened. "What happened?" he asked
"Well..." I started then Eve walked in a notice Kate's motionless body.
She growled "What did আপনি do to my daughter?" প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে her teeth.
"I-I can explain Eve." I said, getting sacred.
"You better have not hurt her in anyway, because if আপনি did I will not hesitate to rip your tail off!" she snarled
I gulped and took a step back, tail between my legs.
"Please Eve let Humphrey explain himself, go on Humphrey." Winston said
"Well me and Kate were playing a game of tag, and I was it. I couldn't catch up with her, I could she was heading back over to here so I took a shortcut to beat her here. When I got here she wasn't there so I waited but she never showed up. I decided to go look for her, and I found her laying in a small clearing, not a scratch on her. Then I brought her here." I ব্যক্ত "I’m sorry it's my fault that this happened."
"It's okay Humphrey, I was just an accident." Winston said
"I want to know why she's not moving." Eve said, just as she ব্যক্ত that a groan echoed in the room.
"What was that?" I asked, just then Kate opened her eyes.
"Kate, darling আপনি okay." Eve ব্যক্ত overjoyed to see her daughter back.
"Where am I?" Kate asked
Winston walked up "Well you're back in our den." he ব্যক্ত "Do আপনি remember what happened?"
"Well.." She said, trying to regain her memory "I was running back to here but I was hit দ্বারা something hard on the back of my head, Then I woke up here."
"You must have been knocked out, good thing Humphrey found আপনি অথবা else who knows what would of happened to you." He said
"Where is Humphrey?" she asked
"Right behind you." I said
She turned around "Oh, thanks for bringing me প্রথমপাতা Humphrey." she said
"No problem, glad to see you’re okay." I ব্যক্ত "Well I'm getting tired, goodnight Sir." I ব্যক্ত waking out of the den.
"Goodnight, and thank you." Winston said
I smiled and walked to my den.

End of Flashback

Humphrey's POV

"Humphrey wake up." I heard a voice say to me.
"Uh... What" I ব্যক্ত waking up, I saw Kate standing in front of me. "Oh... good morning Kate." I said
"Good morning, we should get going right now. We got another full দিন of traveling ahead of us." She said
"Well let's get going." I ব্যক্ত getting up and stretching. I was still in pain but it didn't hurt as much as it did last night.
"How are আপনি feeling?" She asked
"I'm feeling better." I said
"Good" She ব্যক্ত smiling
"Shall we" I ব্যক্ত waking out the den.

We walked out the den, the sun had already risen and there were some clouds in the sky. "Looks like another great day." I ব্যক্ত Looking around the forest.
"You could say that again." Kate said
"Let's keep heading south today." I said, walking into the forest.
"Okay" She said

We walked through the forest, Kate দ্বারা my side. I looked at the sights around me. We were walking along the ridge line of a hill, there were mountains to the north, east and west of us. To the south was a vast open meadow with a big river flowing in the middle of it.

Throughout the morning we descended down the tall hill, It wasn't until the afternoon when we reached the meadow. The meadow was so vast it stretched as far as the could see, there were small rolling hills in the middle. I could hear the sound of rushing water, in the distance.
"I wonder how much further is this Montana place." Kate said
"I'm not sure." I ব্যক্ত "I could be on the other side of that river up ahead, অথবা it could be further."
"Well do আপনি even know where your parents could be in this vast place?" She asked
"I'm not that sure, I can't recall what it looks like. All I remember was that my parents গর্ত was right দ্বারা a small stream with a tall water fall." I said
"Great that will take forever to find." She said
"Forever to find what?" A voice behind us said.

Kate and I turned around; there was a নেকড়ে right behind us. The নেকড়ে was grayish blue, with a white underbelly. It had ice blue eyes just like mine.

"Who are you?" Kate asked
The নেকড়ে stared at us. "The names Jake." He said, his voice obviously male.
"Nice to meet আপনি Jake, my names Humphrey," I said, I pointed over to Kate. "and this is my mate Kate."
"Humphrey? Did আপনি say your name is Humphrey?" Jake asked
"Y-Yes I did, do I know you?" I asked
"Do I know you?" Jake repeated laughing. "Oh come on Humphrey আপনি don't even recognize আপনি own brother." He ব্যক্ত
"B-Brother?" I said, I was confused at what was happening. "I don't remember having a brother."

Chapter 5

Humphrey's POV

"What? আপনি don't remember me?" Jake ব্যক্ত "We grew up together, remember we invented log sledding."
I thought back to my childhood, I couldn't remember much from it but I do remember inventing log sledding. Then it hit me "Oh! Now I remember." I exclaimed
"See I told you." He said
"Well I never knew আপনি had a brother." Kate ব্যক্ত "Nice to meet you."
"Well, Nice to meet আপনি too." He said, he leaned over to me "Wow আপনি sure got a nice one."
"Thank you" I said, smiling at Kate

"So what are আপনি two doing out here?" he asked
"Kate and I decided to go on a little adventure, for a change in the scenery." I ব্যক্ত "And I'm looking for mom and dad, do আপনি know where they are?"
"I've been looking for them too" Jake said
"Why, don't আপনি live with them?" I asked
"Well I did but that was before I was captured দ্বারা humans." He ব্যক্ত "I've been trying to get প্রথমপাতা for weeks now."
"Where were আপনি taken too?" Kate asked
"Some cold place called Alaska." He said
"Wow it must have been hard to get all the way back here." I said
"Yeah it was" He ব্যক্ত "I'll tell আপনি all about it but it’s getting dark and we should find somewhere to rest."
"I agree" Kate said
"Same here," I ব্যক্ত "but it’s just a vast open field out here."
"Well let's follow the river over there." She said, pointing to the river down below us. "I'm sure there's a cave along there somewhere."
"Sounds good to me." I said

We all walked down the hill, I still couldn't believe I forgot about my only sibling. I kept thinking back to when I was a pup, there was so much I forgot between my brother and where I grew up. We eventually reached the river. I could hear the sound of rushing water in the distance.

"I can hear the sound of rushing water over in that direction." I ব্যক্ত pointing downstream
"Well I'm sure there a waterfall along this river." Jake said
"Well let's go toward the sound and see what we find." I said

We continued walking down the river, and sure enough I was right. About a half mile downstream was a small cliff and a waterfall. The cliff was about the same size as the one Kate and I jumped off of back in Idaho.
"How do we get down there?" Jake asked, he then looked over to Kate who was backing away slowly
She then ran and jumped off the cliff doing three front flips and landing softly on the ground. She looked back up at us.
"Well aren't আপনি two coming অথবা not?" She said
Jake had a shocked expression on his face and then looked at me. "How did she do that?" He asked me
"I have no idea" I said, I then proceeded to do it myself. I ran and jumped off the cliff, I did one front flip but I hit the ground hard. "Ow" I ব্যক্ত getting back up grunting in pain. That jump didn't help with the healing of my ribs because the pain got worse.
"Are আপনি okay?" Kate asked me
"Yeah I'm fine" I ব্যক্ত looking back up the cliff at Jake "Okay it's your turn"
"I'm not sure I can do it." Jake admitted
"Oh come on, you're even আরো of a coward then me, and were related." I teased; Kate laughed
"I am not a coward." He said, he then jumped of the cliff but he could do a flip and he just hit the ground with full force.
"Ooooo... That's got to hurt." I ব্যক্ত "Are আপনি alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine." He ব্যক্ত shaking off the pain
"Well now that were all down here let's find a good place to spend the night." Kate said
"Well I don't see and caves in the cliff but what about behind that waterfall." I said
"Well it's possible there could be a cavern behind there." She ব্যক্ত "I'll check"

She walked down to the small pond that was below the waterfall. She jumped in and ঘুঘু under the waterfall. Me and Jake sat পরবর্তি each other waiting for a মিনিট অথবা so for Kate to pop back up. She then popped back up and swam to the কূল of the pond.
"You were right there is a cavern back there with enough room to fit all of us." She said
"Well what are we waiting for, let's get in." Jake ব্যক্ত getting in the pond

I followed him in. Kate ঘুঘু under first, followed দ্বারা Jake then me. The water was freezing but refreshing after a long দিন of walking. I popped back up behind the waterfall; Jake and Kate were already out of the water and drying off. I got out and shook my body to dry off. I looked around, the cavern was bigger than I thought. There was a tall celling and it was wide enough to fit all of us convertibly.

"This looks like a great place to stay." I said
"True, now that were here tell us a little about yourself." Kate said, sitting down পরবর্তি to me
"Well where do I start..." Jake ব্যক্ত "I was running and messing around with my বন্ধু and পরবর্তি thing I know I was hit in my side. I looked to see what it was but before I could my vision went blurry and I started laughing uncontrollably and i fell down to the ground and passed out. I woke back up in some frigid, cold, snowy place that I later found out to be called Alaska. After that I set off heading south until i got here." He ব্যক্ত "That's enough about me how about আপনি Humphrey, what happened to you?"
"The same thing happened to me, but I was only taken to Jasper Park instead. I decided to stay there starting a new life and I haven't left ever since." I ব্যক্ত "Well I'm happy for আপনি even if আপনি didn't decide to come back to your real প্রথমপাতা here in Montana." He ব্যক্ত "You seem to be doing well for yourself, আপনি got a good প্রথমপাতা and a beautiful mate."
"And it gets even better because I'm going to be a father." I said
"That's right" Kate said
"Well congratulations আপনি two." He said, he looked at me "Do আপনি mind telling me how the two of আপনি met."

Kate and I looked at each other, we knew it was going to be a long story but we did enjoy telling it. "Sure I'll tell you." I said, Kate and I told Jake of when Kate and I were taken to Idaho and how we abolished the Alphas over Omegas rule.

"Wow what an amazing story, I was wondering how আপনি got and Alpha as a mate but now I know why." Jake said
"Yeah everyone says I'm a pretty lucky Omega." I said
"Well I'd প্রণয় to keep talking but I'm getting tired. Goodnight" Kate said
"Goodnight" Jake and I said
Kate laid down in a corner and fell asleep, I looked back to Jake "So do have any idea where mom and dad would be?" I asked him
"Well were not far away I can tell আপনি that, there actually down steam of this river probably ten miles অথবা so." He ব্যক্ত "That is if there still there a lot can happen in a month."
"Well let's hope their still there; they'll be in for a big surprise when we get there." I said
"I'm sure they will, they were devastated when আপনি never came back home. They thought আপনি were dead and were desperately trying to find you, but they never did." He said
"I was afraid of that, I should of just headed back প্রথমপাতা when I first had the chance." I ব্যক্ত looking down at the ground "But when I met Kate something made me stay."
"That's the power of love.." He ব্যক্ত trailing off
"True, that's enough about me. How about আপনি are there and girls আপনি have your eye on." I ব্যক্ত rising and eyebrow
"Well no, but there is this girl named Sierra, but she hasn't taken notice of my yet." He ব্যক্ত in a disappointing voice
I tried to make him feel better about it "Give it time and she'll notice you. The same thing happened to me and Kate, but one long adventure later that all changed." I said
"Thanks Humphrey" he ব্যক্ত cheering up "Well it's getting late I'm heading to bed."
"Yeah same here, goodnight" I said
"Goodnight” He said

Jake laid down দ্বারা the entrance of the cavern and fell asleep. I walked over to Kate (who was sound asleep) and curled up behind her, I could feel her scoot closer to me. 'She’s probably cold' I thought. I put my arm around her side and rested my head on her neck. I shortly fell asleep and into my dreams.

In Humphrey's dreams
Humphrey's POV

I was running down the valley in Jasper Park, "Kate I'm coming" I ব্যক্ত as I ran. Hutch had ran up to me and told me Kate was in labor while I was playing some of my Omega games with Salty. I immediately started running; I didn't want to miss the birth of my pups.

Faster and faster I ran, trees and bushes flying past me. I was running up the পাহাড় that leads to the main Alpha den. I saw Mooch and Shakey cheering me on, they must of had already know. I shot them a quick smile as I ran past them, I could see the গর্ত just up ahead. 'The প্রথমপাতা stretch' I thought to myself. I skidded around the corner and ran up the small path that lead up to the den. As I rounded the entrance of the গর্ত I saw Winston sitting outside, I skidded to a halt. I was about to say something but Winston cut me off.

"Go now, we can talk later." He said
I smiled and walked into the den. Inside I saw Kate lying down, a look of pain in her face but she managed to keep a smile. I smiled back at her, Eve was পরবর্তি to her telling her to breathe and keep pushing. I looked to the other side of the গর্ত and i saw Lilly, Garth and Winston (Who had just walked back in) all sitting down. I walked over to Kate and sat পরবর্তি to her, "I made it!" I said, still trying to catch my breath after running halfway across the territory.

"Yes আপনি did." Kate ব্যক্ত between breaths
I put my paw on hers "I'm so excited" I said
"Me too" She said, she started to yell in pain
"Okay the first pup is coming." Eve ব্যক্ত "Keep pushing"

Kate let out another yell of pain, and the first pup was born.

Eve picked it up and handed it to Winston to hold, she then turned back to Kate. "One আরো to go" She said
"You can do it Kate, just keep breathing." I said, comforting her
Kate yelled again and the পরবর্তি and last pup was born, Eve handed it to Lilly to hold.
I looked at my two pups a big smile on my face, but it was turned into a look of horror when I went to look back at Kate. She was bleeding really badly and looked very pale, her eyes rolled back into her head and she fell to the floor.

I gasped, the look of horror still on my face. Eve ran over to her and put her ear up to Kate's snout, she wasn't breathing. Eve then put her paw on Kate chest where her হৃদয় was, there was no pulse.

"S-She's dead" Eve ব্যক্ত on the verge of tears
Everything turned into a nightmare "NO! She can't be dead!" I yelled
__________________________________________________

Humphrey's POV

"No no no no" I kept repeating, then I woke up. I was breathing heavily "It was only a dream, that's all just a dream." I ব্যক্ত panting
"Are আপনি okay? আপনি were talking in your sleep." I heard a familiar voice say.
I looked up and saw it was Kate. I jumped up and hugged her "Kate! You're okay" I said
"Of course I'm okay why wouldn't I be." She said
"Oh Kate it was horrible আপনি died after giving birth to our pups." I said
"Oh that would never happen." She ব্যক্ত comforting me
"You're right it was just a dream that's all." I said

Chapter 6

Kate's POV
We had left the waterfall cavern about a few hours ago, and had started walking down the river toward the mountains in the distance. Humphrey was walking পরবর্তি to me, I could tell he was feeling better after that nightmare he had earlier, and he didn't look to be in too much pain. Jake was a little ways ahead of us, he seemed to want to get প্রথমপাতা in a hurry because he was always ahead of us.

We exited the vast open meadow and entered back into the forest. There was a light breeze blowing through the trees, the sky was clear with the sun shining right above us. It was definitely warmer here then it was back at Jasper, and there wasn't as much snow.

Humphrey ran up to Jake "Do আপনি know how much further mom and dad are?" I could hear him ask
"Well I'm not all too sure but I know we have to be close দ্বারা now." Jake said
I walked a little faster to catch up with them. "Are আপনি guys sure আপনি remember where they live? Because আপনি two don't seem to be too sure where they live." I said
"Well I was taken away years পূর্বে and never did get time to venture out of my parents গর্ত that often." Humphrey said
"And I was an Omega in the pack so I mostly stayed within the territory borders." Jake said

I walked up in front of them and stopped, causing them to stop too. "Okay before we go any further I want আপনি two to think and remember what the scenery looked like around your parents den." I ব্যক্ত looking at them both
"I already told আপনি that they lived দ্বারা a small stream at the bottom of a tall waterfall." Humphrey said
"Well let's see, I don't see any tall cliffs around this area. There should be some cliffs over in those mountains over there." Jake ব্যক্ত pointing over to the mountains in the distance.
"Well it's a start" I ব্যক্ত "Do আপনি remember the pack name?"
"Hmm... We were the most southern pack in the area." Jake ব্যক্ত "I believe we were called the Southern Glacier Pack."
"That's it!" Humphrey yelled "Now all we got to do is find a নেকড়ে and ask them if they know where the Southern Glacier Pack is."
"You see what happens when আপনি stop and think for a minute." I said
"Yeah whatever" Jake muttered
I ignored him "So let's keep following this river until we get to those mountains, অথবা until we find another wolf." I ব্যক্ত
"Well let's get going, the faster the better." Humphrey ব্যক্ত and started walking along the river

Jake and I followed him, We still had a lot of daylight left and we were making great progress. It's only the third দিন and we have two আরো before we'd have to turn around and go home. The mountains were slowly getting closer and they were taller than I thought.

We reached the base of the mountains at late afternoon.

"Well we made it to the mountains, now what?" I asked
"Well I don't see a waterfall here." Jake ব্যক্ত looking around
After he ব্যক্ত that the light from the sun was reflecting off of something shiny about a mile অথবা so way. I looked at it "Wait a মিনিট what's that?" I ব্যক্ত pointing toward the light
"I-It looks like a waterfall" Humphrey ব্যক্ত "Come on!" He yelled and ran toward it

Jake and I ran after him, 'I hope this is it' I thought to myself. "Wait up Humphrey!" I yelled I could tell he was excited. Humphrey and Jake kept running, but I had to slow down. My stomach had a sick feeling and when I ran faster it made me feel sicker. I kept up a light jog knowing they would stop at the waterfall and wait for me. I went হারিয়ে গেছে in my thoughts thinking of what Humphrey's parents would look like and act like, I'm sure that they will be happy to find out the Humphrey was married and that he was to become a father. I went out of my thoughts to see that I was approaching the falls, I could see that Humphrey's and Jake were sitting পরবর্তি to each other দ্বারা the pond with a big smile on their faces.
"What's making আপনি two smile?" I asked
"This is the place!" Humphrey said
I looked around I didn't see a single নেকড়ে around "It is? Where are your parents then?" I said
"That's because their গর্ত is hidden, it’s around that corner." Jake ব্যক্ত pointing to a small বিভক্ত করা canyon beside the waterfall.
"Okay but where is the rest of their pack?" I said
"Our parents never liked living near the rest of the pack, they enjoyed their privacy." He ব্যক্ত "Let's go Humphrey" He got up and walked toward the small canyon.
"Right behind ya" Humphrey said
I followed Humphrey walking দ্বারা his side; this was a big moment for him. As we turned the corner of the canyon I saw a cave, it was sure hidden from the outside world. We all stopped just outside the den, Jake turned to me and Humphrey.
"Okay আপনি two stay here until I call আপনি in." He said
We both nodded our heads, as much as Humphrey wanted to run in there and hug his parents. He waited, Jake walked in and I heard him say hi mom hi dad.
"Jake your back!" I heard two other wolfs yell from in the den
"Yes I am and I brought someone special." Jake said
"Who?" I heard a voice say
"Guys can আপনি come in here" Jake said

Me and Humphrey walked into the den, inside I saw Jake and two wolfs sitting পরবর্তি to him. One নেকড়ে was tall and lean she looked like a female, her পশম was all white with a few grey streaks. পরবর্তি to her was a tall and very muscled obviously male, he was purely grey furred with Humphrey's same ice blue eyes. We sat down পরবর্তি to each other.
"And who are these two Jake?" The male asked
"Mom, Dad remember Humphrey." Jake ব্যক্ত smiling
"Humphrey!" The both ব্যক্ত in unison, a look of shock on their faces
"Hi mom, Hi dad" Humphrey said, his mom walked up and gave him a hug
"We've missed আপনি so much" She said
"I've missed আপনি guys too." He ব্যক্ত on almost on the verge of tears.
She walked back and sat down where she was earlier.
"And who's this?" Humphrey's dad asked looking at me
"This is my mate, Kate." He said
"Well আপনি sure got yourself a good looking one" Humphrey's dad said
"Thank you" He said
"Well I'm happy for আপনি two. My names Lupa and this is my mate Lyall." Lupa said
"Nice to meet you" I said, Humphrey's parents seemed like a nice couple.
"And we have some extra news too" Humphrey ব্যক্ত smiling at me, I knew what was coming.
"And what’s that" Lyall said
"You two are going to become grandparents." He ব্যক্ত proudly
"Well congratulations!" Lupa said
I smiled knowing that they were okay with it, they haven't embarrassed Humphrey, yet.
"Well we'd প্রণয় to talk but it's getting late and we have all দিন tomorrow to talk and share stories." She ব্যক্ত
"I agree" Humphrey ব্যক্ত "Goodnight everyone"
"Goodnight" everyone said

We all found a place to sleep in the den, Lupa and Lyall were sleeping together, Jake was near the গর্ত entrance, and Humphrey and I were cuddled up near the other side of the den. I shortly fell asleep with Humphrey keeping me warm.

Chapter 7



Humphrey's POV

I opened my eyes after having a peaceful sleep in my parents den. I was feeling today is going be a great day, life couldn't be any better right now. I found my parents again, I have a beautiful mate who loves me, plus I'm going to be a father. I always loved entertaining the pups back in Jasper, it always made me smile. I can't wait to see what my pups will look like and what personalities they'll have.

I laid there just thinking of my soon to be pups with a smile on my face, I was so busy দিন dreaming I didn't notice Kate roll over and open her eye's, she looked at me and smile.

"And just what are আপনি thinking about." She whispered
"Oh just thinking what our kids will look like when their born." I ব্যক্ত looking at her
"So have I" She ব্যক্ত "I bet they'll be so cute."
"Just like us" I ব্যক্ত still smiling
She leaned over and licked my cheek making me blush a little. "Yes, just like us" She ব্যক্ত in a soft voice
I looked down at her belly, it was a little bigger than usual "Well I can see the কুকুরছানা are growing." I said, then looking back up at her.
She took a quick look and looked back at me "I guess they are" She ব্যক্ত "Pretty soon they'll be so big that I won't be able to move." She laughed
I laughed at her joke "Yep pretty soon, remember we have to head back প্রথমপাতা two days from now." I said
"I know, but I kind of like it out here. It's a little warmer and the waterfall and mountains are so beautiful." She said
"Well maybe we can stay here, but we how will we tell everyone back in Jasper?" I asked
"We could send someone to tell them." She said
"Well let's ask my parent if they don't mind it I'm sure they want me to stay anyway." I ব্যক্ত "It doesn't matter where we live, I'll always be happy as long as you’re দ্বারা me side." I ব্যক্ত nuzzling her
"Aww that's very sweet" She ব্যক্ত nuzzling me back "I প্রণয় you"
"I প্রণয় আপনি too, Kate" I ব্যক্ত smiling
"Would আপনি two lovebirds cut it out." I heard a grouchy voice say in the den. I looked over to see Jake lying there with his eyes open.
"What wrong with আপনি bro?" I teased
"Yeah are আপনি jealous?" Kate ব্যক্ত laughing
"Heck no, I'm just grouchy 'cause I didn't sleep well last night." He said
"Why not?" I asked
"Just a bad dream that's all, I don't want to talk about it. If আপনি don't mind I'm going to get some water." He ব্যক্ত
"Okay, bye" I ব্যক্ত

Jake left the গর্ত leaving just Kate and I, my Mom and Dad were lying পরবর্তি to each other in the back of the den. Me and Kate sat পরবর্তি to each other.

"I like your parents Humphrey, their a nice couple." Kate said
"I know that's what a lot of people ব্যক্ত to me when I was a pup." I said
"It's too bad আপনি didn't get to stay with them you're whole life." She said
"It's not so bad, if I was never taken to Jasper then I would have never met you, we wouldn't be married and আপনি would have married Barf." I ব্যক্ত
She laughed "True, I'm glad I did get to meet you, you’re a nice caring person, and funny too." She said
I smiled at the component she gave me "Well thank you, that means a lot coming from you." I said
She smiled back "So what do আপনি have planned to do today?" She asked
"I'm not sure, just relax and catch up with my parents." I said
"I was thinking of going to get something to eat for everyone and then relax and tell stories." She said
"Can I come and help?" I asked
"No, I don't want আপনি getting hurt again," She said
"Okay fine, but I do want to learn how to hunt." I said
"That’s fine I don't mind teaching আপনি but not just yet." She ব্যক্ত getting up "I'm going hunting, I'll be back soon." She ব্যক্ত giving me a quick lick on the cheek
"Okay bye" I ব্যক্ত

I watched her leave the গর্ত to go on a hunt. I sat there looking around the den, I went back into daydreaming. I was then taken back out of my thoughts when I saw my Dad get up and stretch.

He looked at me "Good morning son, sleep well?" He ব্যক্ত
"Good morning Dad, and I did sleep well last night." I ব্যক্ত "I'm not sure about Jake he seemed to be in a grumpy mood this morning."
"Do আপনি know why?" He asked
"Well he just ব্যক্ত he had a bad dream, but he didn't want to talk about it." I said
"and where is he now?" He said
"He ব্যক্ত he went to get some water" I said
"Okay, and what about your mate?" He asked
"She went to get all of us some food." I said
"Oh well that's very nice of her but she didn't have to do that I could of done it myself." He said
"It's okay dad, she enjoys hunting." I said
"Wait but she's an Omega isn't she, how can she enjoy hunting." He ব্যক্ত with a puzzled look on his face.
"She's actually and Alpha Dad." I said
"But I thought Alpha's and Omega's aren't allowed to breed." He ব্যক্ত
"Things used to be that way but after the little adventure Kate and I took that rule is now abolished making Omega's equal with Alpha's thus letting the two of us get married." I said
"And what happened during this little adventure আপনি two took?" He asked
"I'll tell আপনি along with everyone else after lunch." I said
"Okay" He ব্যক্ত then taking a breath "It's good to have আপনি প্রথমপাতা son." He said
"And it's good to be প্রথমপাতা Dad." I said
"You mean you're going to stay here?" He asked
"Well yeah if আপনি two would like, Kate and I really like it here." I said
"Well you'll have to ask আপনি mother when she gets up." He said

Me and my Dad sat there waiting for Lupa to wake up and waiting for Kate and Jake to return to the den. We passed the time chatting and telling a few short stories about what happened during the time I was gone, after ten মিনিট of chatting Lupa started to wake from her slumber.



“Good morning sweetie” My Dad ব্যক্ত when Lupa got up and stretched

“Good morning” She ব্যক্ত with a warm smile, she looked around the গর্ত and noticed that Jake and Kate were gone.

“Where did Jake and Kate go?” She asked

“Kate went to get us some food, and Jake needed to get some water.” I said

“Well that’s very nice of Kate,” She ব্যক্ত “You two are a cute couple, and I’m glad it all worked out with আপনি two.”

“Thanks Mom” I said, I turned to see Jake walking in the গর্ত with a weird look on his face.

“Uhhh…. Humphrey can আপনি come with me real quick.” He Said

“Sure is something wrong?” I asked

“Just come with me and I’ll tell you.” He said

“Okay let’s go” I said



I followed Jake out my parents den, I could tell something was up. I followed him into the woods; he stopped and looked around, as if he was making sure no one was looking অথবা within earshot. He sat on the ground and I sat across from him.



“Okay so what’s wrong?” I said

“Well do আপনি remember that girl I told আপনি about a two nights ago?” He said

“Yeah, Sierra right?” I said

“Yeah, anyway when I went to get a drink she was there too.” He said

“Okay, go on” I said

“Well when I walked out to get a drink she turned around and saw me. I just minded my own business, but she walked over to me. She ব্যক্ত that she was glad to see me return safely and that she missed me. I was shocked when she ব্যক্ত that, it caught me off guard.” He said

“Well what did আপনি say to her after that?” I asked

“I just ব্যক্ত I missed her too” He said

“Well what’s so bad about that, she missed you.” I said

“I know but I’m just not good with girls” He ব্যক্ত looking down at the ground

“Well আপনি like her don’t you?” I asked

“A little, but I just get all shy around her.” He said

“Well I can help you, if আপনি want?” I asked

“You would do that for me?” He ব্যক্ত smiling

“Of course I would আপনি are my brother after all.” I said

“Thank আপনি Humphrey” He said

“Come on let’s get back to the den, I’m sure Kate will be back দ্বারা now.” I said



We both got up and walked back to our parents den, hoping Kate had gotten some luck hunting.

______________________________



Chapter 8

Humphrey's POV



Jake and I were just getting back to the গর্ত after the little talk we had. I was happy for him because Sierra just might be his true love. I'm glad he let me help; I'll help him get over his shyness around girls. We walked into the গর্ত to see my Mom and Dad sitting together on one side of the den, Kate was on the other side, and in the middle was a huge caribou.



"Wow, আপনি sure got a big one." Jake ব্যক্ত to Kate

"Yeah, looks like luck was on your side." I said

"Thank you" She said, smiling at the complement "Okay since I caught it I'll take the head and the rest of আপনি can each have a leg, sound good?" She said

"Sounds fair to me" my Dad ব্যক্ত ripping off the lower right leg, he then ripped off the lower left one and gave it to my Mom.



Jake and I took the other two legs and started eating. There was not a word ব্যক্ত in the গর্ত for a while. Everyone was too busy eating their share of the food. After we all finished my dad was the first to speak up.



"So Humphrey weren't আপনি and Kate going to tell us how আপনি met?" He asked

I looked over to Kate who nodded "Yes I was, we don't mind telling আপনি now." I said

"This should be interesting" My Mom said, just finishing he food

I started the story "Well Kate and I met the দিন I was taken too Jasper..." I said



I told them the story of when me and Kate were pups and when we were taken to Idaho. Clearly they were interested because they were never distracted once. After we told them our story, Jake told everyone his.



“Wow all of আপনি have been through a lot lately.” My Dad said

“Yea we have but we did have some good times, right Kate?” I ব্যক্ত looking to Kate

“Yes we did” She ব্যক্ত smiling

“What about আপনি Jake?” My Mom asked

“Well the trip was scary and lonely, but after a দিন of traveling I just enjoyed the sights and scenery all the way back here.” Jake said

“That’s great” She said

“Well what happened while I was gone?” He asked

“Well your father and I were devastated; we didn’t want to lose both of our children. Your father looked high and low for আপনি but not even a scent of you.” She ব্যক্ত “We just waited and hoped you’d return.”

“And were back, both of us” I ব্যক্ত “Also Kate and I wanted to know if we could live here, with আপনি guys?

“Of course আপনি two can but we would have to build another গর্ত so we could all have some মহাকাশ to live.” My Dad said

“Well Jack and I could build a new গর্ত under that বৃক্ষ over there.” I ব্যক্ত pointing to and old dead বৃক্ষ that was just outside the den.

“Well sure, not like there’s anything else to do around here.” He said

“Alright sounds like a plan.” I said

“What about your family back প্রথমপাতা Kate, won’t they miss you?” My Mom asked her

“Yea they will but I’m sure they’ll understand.” Kate said

“Alright it looks like the family’s reunited” I ব্যক্ত smiling

“It’s about time” My Dad ব্যক্ত laughing slightly



We all laughed too, I looked over to Jake who was sitting there smiling. I walked over and whispered into his ear.



“Let’s go find this Sierra girl” I whispered

He nodded “Okay” He said, we got up and started to walk out the গর্ত then my Mom spoke up.

“Where are আপনি two going?” She asked, everyone looked at us

“Oh… we were… Uhhh…” Jake started

“Going for a walk” I said

Everyone gave us weird looks, there was a short silence. “Okay, have fun” She said



Jake and I continued walking out the den, outside it was sunny with a few clouds. There was about 3 hours of light before it got dark.



“So do আপনি know where she would be right now?” I asked

“I’m not sure, she should be around here somewhere.” He ব্যক্ত looking around

“Well let’s just wonder around the area and we’ll find her eventually.” I said

“Okay” He said



We kept walking and looking around, I noticed that there were not many নেকড়ে in the area.



“Where is everyone?” I asked

“You won’t see many নেকড়ে down here, they tend to stay আরো north of here.” He said

“Why?” I asked

“Because this is Puma territory, but don’t worry they mostly stay and live up in the mountains up there.” He ব্যক্ত pointing up to the mountains that toward over the area.

“So it’s নিরাপদ here?” I asked, I was worried about Kate’s and my pup’s safety.

“Yes it is, the only time we have been attacked দ্বারা one was not to long after আপনি disappeared.” He said

I still felt a little uneasy “Okay” I ব্যক্ত “So the other নেকড়ে are too cowardly to come live this far south.” I joked

“You could say that,” He laughed “but I wouldn’t say that because there are some strong নেকড়ে up there.”

I laughed “Well if they were strong they would teach those Pumas a lesson,” I said, I didn’t notice that there was another নেকড়ে behind me.

Jakes eyes widened “Humphrey I would stop saying those thing if I was you.” He said

“Why! There just a bunch of lazy নেকড়ে who don’t know how to defend their own area.” I said, I backed up a little, and then I hit something big and furry. I turned around and saw a নেকড়ে that was a little bigger then Garth staring at me. My eyes widened and I backed away over the where Jake was sitting.

“Who are আপনি and what are আপনি thinking of making fun of us?” The নেকড়ে ব্যক্ত “I should punish আপনি for saying those things!”

“Take it easy Drake, He’s not from around here.” Jake said

“Fine, since he’s new, but the পরবর্তি time I hear আপনি saying those things you’re dead.” পাতিহাঁস threatened, he then turned around and left us.

“Okay I guess I learned my lesson.” I ব্যক্ত looking to make sure he was gone. “Who was that?” I asked

“That was Drake, he’s in charge of the western area.” Jake said

“What’s the deal with this whole area thing?” I ব্যক্ত “Why don’t আপনি have one big territory with two leaders?”

“Well we did when we were pups, but after আপনি left we had a new leader who wanted to separate the territory into areas. So he বিভক্ত করা the territory into 8 areas; North, Northwest, Northeast, East, Central, West, South, and Southwest.” He said

“Interesting, that way the territory wasn’t too difficult to control.” I said

“Correct” He ব্যক্ত “The Southern area was প্রদত্ত to our parents to control, no one else wanted to সরানো into our area so we keep it mostly to ourselves. The only reason নেকড়ে come down here is to either visit অথবা hunt.”

“Okay” I said

“The Central area is where the main leader lives, and is where all of the events are held like meetings gatherings and weddings.” He said

“What about moonlight howls?” I asked

“Well we have those up on that mountain peak up there.” He ব্যক্ত pointing up to one of the towering peaks that oversaw the area.

My jaw dropped, the peak was way, way, way taller than the one back in Jasper Park. “All the way up there?” I asked still shocked “It has to be about 5,000 feet tall!”

“Yeah I know, but it has the best মতামত and its pretty romantic up their when theirs a full moon.” He said

“Wow, I’m going to howl with Kate up there for sure.” I said

“I bet আপনি will” He said

“Hey Jake” I heard a female voice behind us say



We turned around to see a gorgeous নেকড়ে standing behind us. She had grey mixed with tan পশম and dark brown eyes.



“Oh... Hi Sierra” Jake ব্যক্ত his voice sounding a little nervous.

“Who’s you’re friend?” She asked looking at me

“This is my brother, Humphrey.” He said

“Nice to meet you” I said

“You never told me আপনি had a brother Jake.” She said

“Well he hasn’t been around here for a few years, he just go back.” He said

“Well he sure does look like you” She said

“I know it’s like were twins,” I joked, everyone laughed “If only our voice weren’t different.”

“True” He said

“So where have আপনি been for the past few years?” She asked me

“Well it’s kind of a long story” I said

“That’s okay I like stories” She said

“Okay then” I said, I told her that I lived here when I was a pup and was relocated to Jasper Park. I told her about growing up there and meeting Kate. I told her about being relocated again to Idaho, this time with Kate and our adventure back to Jasper. Finally I told her how we met up with Jake and headed out to find our parents.

“Wow that’s amazing, you’ve been through a lot.” She said

“Yeah but it was fun” I said

“So where is this Kate girl?” She asked

“She’s back at my parents den” I said

“Well I would like to meet her sometime” She said

“Sure, I’m sure আপনি could tomorrow.” I said

“Well it was nice meeting আপনি but if আপনি don’t mind I wanted to take Jake on a little walk.” She ব্যক্ত looking at Jake

I could see him tense up, he looked at me for help. I nodded my head “I don’t mind, I’m sure Jake would প্রণয় to go with you.” I said

He looked at me “Uh… Yeah sure. Humphrey can I speak with আপনি real quick” He said

“Ok” I said, He then pulled me back and we turned around

“What are আপনি doing?” He whispered

“I’m just helping আপনি out” I said

“Well I’m not sure about this” He said

“It’ll be fine, just go with her and have fun. Get to know one another” I said

“But-“ He started but I cut him off

“Do আপনি want to be with her অথবা not” I said

“I do want to be with her, but I’m just nervous” He said

“Don’t be, learn to loosen up and just go for it. If it doesn’t work out then I wasn’t meant to be, got it?” I said

“You’re right, thanks bro you’re the best” He ব্যক্ত before we both turned back around

“Ready to go” He ব্যক্ত to Sierra

“Sure” She said

They both started walking away, “You two have fun, I’ll see আপনি back at the den” I said



I turned around and started walking back to the গর্ত ‘They would make a great couple’ I thought to myself.



I when I got back to the গর্ত everyone was sitting in a বৃত্ত telling stories. They looked at me when I walked into the den.



“Where’s Jake?” My Mom asked

“Oh he and Sierra went on a little evening stroll together, so I came back here to see what was going on.” I said

“Well looks like Jake has a new girlfriend” My Dad ব্যক্ত “It’s about time”

“But I thought he was shy around girls” She said

“He was, but I talked him into it and told him to go for it” I said

“Let’s hope he doesn’t blow it” He said

“Come sit down” Kate ব্যক্ত “were just telling stories”

“Okay sure” I ব্যক্ত sitting পরবর্তি to her



We all sat and shared stories and jokes while we waited for Jake to come back from his little তারিখ with Sierra.

Chapter 9

Humphrey’s POV



I woke up with the rising sun shining in my fur, and Kate curled up against me. I looked over and saw my mom and dad sleeping in the other corner, but I didn’t see Jake anywhere. I slowly got up, trying not to disturb Kate. I walked outside and saw that it was a clear and cloudy day, it was a slightly colder morning then the পূর্ববর্তি ones. I decided to go and try my luck at hunting again, even though I should have waited until Kate gave me some training, but I knew I could do it. I was so close last time, and I’m sure I’ll succeed this time. I walked out into the open meadow and got down low, I peered through the tall ঘাস and I saw a lone caribou away from its heard. I stalked my way through the ঘাস trying to be a silent as possible. Crept closer and closer to the unsuspecting caribou, it was too busy eating the ঘাস to see me. I was right পরবর্তি to it and I waited for the perfect moment to strike. It turned its head away and I saw the perfect time to jump. I jumped toward its neck and bit down on its throat, I could taste its blood as I bit down harder and harder. The caribou jumped and kicked around trying to shake me off, but it was too late my jaws were locked down and it would soon be dead. After what seemed like forever the creature fell over and died. I let go of its neck and licked the blood of my lips
