It was a perfect दिन in Jasper Park. What no one knew that something dark was going to happen to a gray wolf. His name was Humphrey and he was in प्यार with a tan भेड़िया named Kate. They were mates and the story of how they became mates is a long one. Let’s just say, she’s an alpha, and he’s an omega.

Well, our story happens a few weeks after our couple has gotten married. Humphrey was cuddled up अगला to Kate in their den. She was tired since they had just gotten finished eating and was full. Humphrey stared down at her.
    
“Kate, आप awake?” He asked quietly. She opened one of her eyes and looked up at him.
    
“I am now.” She कहा yawning. ‘Why’d he wake me up right now?’ She thought to herself.
    
“Well, I just wanted to tell आप I प्यार you.” He told her. Kate smiled and licked his cheek.
    
“I प्यार आप too, Humphrey.” She कहा and nuzzled her head against his neck. He smiled and curled his body around hers. She closed her eyes and fell asleep again laying her head against him. Humphrey smiled and closed his eyes laying his head अगला to her.

(A few hours later)
    
Kate woke up and carefully moved away from Humphrey. ‘He’s so cute asleep.’ She thought smiling and चुंबन his forehead. ‘Well better get to patrol.’ She thought to herself and carefully left the मांद, डेन so she wouldn’t wake Humphrey. She started walking to her mom and dad’s मांद, डेन to learn what her duties would be. She walked in to see her dad just waking up.
    
“Hi dad, I came to see what my alpha duties will be.” Kate asked. Winston looked at his daughter.
    
“All I want आप to do is patrol the borders of south-west and southern end of our new territory.” He told her. She nodded.
    
“Alright dad, I’ll head out now.” Kate told him and started for the door.
“Kate wait! I just want to warn you, hunters have been spotted in the territory.” He warned her. She nodded and went outside. When she walked out she felt the sun hit her फर warming her. A gray and black भेड़िया ran up to her.
    
“Hey, Kate where are आप off to?” He asked.
    
“Hey Hutch, I just have to patrol the south-west and southern end of the territory. Then I’m done.” She told him. He smiled.

“Okay, I’m patrolling the south-east. We might meet in the middle then.” He told her. She smiled at her friend.

“Alright, then I get to go back to spend time with Humphrey.” She said. Hutch raised an eye still smiling.

“Oh, are आप two going to do anything?” He asked winking at her. Kate blushed.

“We haven’t done anything yet. We’re waiting till we’re both ready for pups.” She told him. Hutch laughed out loud.

“I’m just joking Kate.” He told her. Kate rolled her eyes at him and went to the starting point of her patrolling trail.

(2 hours later) (At the den)

Humphrey opened his eyes and looked around the den. ‘Kate must have gone to do her alpha duties.’ He thought to himself. He got up and stretched his aching muscles. He shook his head and looked up to see Hutch at the entrance.

“Hey Hutch, Kate’s not here right now.” Humphrey told him. Hutch looked confused.

“She’s not here? She wasn’t at the rendezvous point either.” He said. Humphrey felt a cold fist close around his heart.

“She wasn’t?” He asked. Hutch shook his head.

“Something’s not right. She would always be on time anywhere.” Hutch told him.

“Let’s go look for her.” Humphrey कहा starting out the den.

“Humphrey, first let’s organize a खोजिए team and tell the leaders.” Hutch ordered. Humphrey was about to argue but knew Hutch was right. They ran to Eve and Winston’s मांद, डेन and told them the news.

“Ok, Hutch आप take one team to the west border with Eve, me and Humphrey will take the other team to the south border. Howl if आप find her.” Winston ordered. Hutch and Eve both nodded and went about gathering a team. Winston turned to Humphrey. “Humphrey, go get Garth, he’s the one who will with us.” Humphrey nodded and sped to Garth and Lilly’s मांद, डेन were he saw them cuddling together.

“Garth, Kate’s gone missing; Winston and I need आप to come with us to help look for her.” He told them. Lilly gasped and got up to go with them.

“No Lilly, stay here, I’ll be back soon. I promise.” He told her. She was about to argue but decided not to. Instead she kissed Garth’s cheek.
“Just bring my sister back safe. Please.” She said. Both males nodded and ran to Winston who was waiting at the start of the trail Kate started her patrol at. They started to खोजिए the brush. They found nothing, until they got closer to the end. That’s when Garth found blood, Kate’s.

“We have to find her quickly!” Humphrey panicked. Winston put a paw on his son-in law’s shoulder.

“Calm down Humphrey, we will.” He said. Humphrey didn’t feel reassured. They continued farther down the trail.

“Guys, I have to rest. I’m tired.” Garth groaned. Humphrey growled at him.

“Not until we find Kate.” He कहा with frustration. Winston got between them.

“Stop it Humphrey, we are tired, we need to rest. We’ll be able to खोजिए better after some rest.” He said. Humphrey had to agree. Garth got up to do his “business”. He came back panting.

“I found her!” He said. Winston and Humphrey shot forward. They ran through the trees with Garth behind them. What they found horrified her. Kate was on the ground surrounded द्वारा a pool of blood. Humphrey ran over and nuzzled her head. Kate opened her eyes weakly.

“H-Humphrey?” she asked, coughing up blood. Humphrey moved closer to her.

“I’m here, Kate, I’m here, you’re going to be alright. I promise.” Humphrey told her holding back tears. Kate smiled.

“Humphrey, no I won’t. Thanks for trying, Humphrey, find someone. Someone to share your प्यार with. Please.” She whispered fading deeper into darkness. Humphrey started gasping for air.

“No Kate, no आप can’t die! We’ll help you, please, I प्यार you.” He cried into her fur. Kate giggled.

“I प्यार आप too; just find someone to give your प्यार too now.” She कहा as her spirit gave out. Humphrey started crying harder.

“NO! Please no!” He screamed. Winston came over and tried to pull him away.

“Humphrey, she’s gone. I’m sorry, she’s dead.” Winston grieved as he died with every word he said. (A/N: Not literally now guys, he’s just hurt.) Garth walked up shocked. “Garth, howl for the others.” Winston told him quietly. Garth shook out of his shock and nodded. He then howled. A few मिनटों later Eve and Hutch ran into the clearing with a few भेड़िया behind them. Eve gasped when she saw her daughter and ran up. She looked closely at Kate and found what got her.

“A human shot her.” She कहा as she broke down into tears. Winston hung his head as each and every भेड़िया there mourned silently for the loss of their pack leader’s eldest daughter. Humphrey cried into Kate’s fur. He then felt a paw on his shoulder and looked up to see Garth.

“Humphrey, we have to take her back. Everyone else needs to know.” He said. Humphrey didn’t feel like going anywhere at that moment. He wanted to just die. But he knew he had to get up.

“Hutch, Garth, carry her body back.” Winston choked out. Both भेड़िया nodded and pulled Kate’s body onto their backs and carried her with everyone following behind them. When they arrived back each भेड़िया went their respective ways to tell the members. Humphrey, Garth, Hutch, Eve, and Winston headed to the burial ground. As they put her down, Garth walked back to tell Lilly.

Humphrey stared down at Kate’s body hoping and praying she would wake up and say it was all a joke. But she didn’t move, and she never would.
Soon, भेड़िया started coming. Small numbers at first, but it grew until the whole pack was there. Winston went and कहा a few words, but Humphrey didn’t hear a thing. All he could do was look down at the भेड़िया he loved as she was slowly put into the ground.

As the भेड़िया gathered started breaking up, Humphrey felt himself being led back to his and Kate’s den. He didn’t know who it was and didn’t care. All he felt was as if emptiness had taken his heart. He didn’t remember how he fell asleep that night without Kate द्वारा him, but he did, and he had terrible nightmares.

A/N: Well, what'd आप guys think? give me your honest opion please.
