Alpha and Omega III: Rise of the Next Generation


Alpha and Omega III: Rise of the Next Generation

Chapter 1:
December 24, 2013, Kate and Lilly visits the valley where their father, Winston was buried.  The two wolves both sit down and start to cry.  Afterwards, Kate goes back to the den.  Inside the den, Humphrey and his son, Zuki, both were playing with each other.  Soon, Zuki asks Kate some questions.
“Mommy?  What’s wrong?” said Zuki curiously.
“It’s nothing, sweetie,” said Kate as she continues crying, “Humphrey, I think it’s about time we tell him.”
“Tell me what?” said Zuki.  Both Kate and Humphrey sighs and Kate tells him.
“I wanted to tell you later when you are older, but I guess I it’s time now,” said Kate, while she slowly stops crying, “Your grandfather, Winston, died from a strange disease called leukemia.  He was a great leader and a great father.  Without him, he would not have let Humphrey and me get married and have you.”
“Uh, Zuki?” said Humphrey, “Can you step outside for a minute?”  He then walks in the den and whispers in Kate’s ear, “Kate, he’s too young still.  Just wait till he is older.”  He then licks Kate’s cheek.  “Thank you, Humphrey,” said Kate as she whispers in Humphrey’s ear.  She then nuzzles his nose.
“Don’t worry, Kate,” said Humphrey as he whispers in Kate’s ear, “Even though he is not here, right beside us, he is right here.”  Humphrey then takes his paw and places it on the left side of Kate’s chest.
“Oh, Humphrey,” whispers Kate, “Thank you.  When you saved my life back in Idaho, I dedicated my life to you.”  She then gives him a hug.  Soon, Kate stopped crying.  “I love you, Humphrey,” she whispers.  “I love you too, Kate,” whispers Humphrey.  Soon, it starts to rain and everyone falls asleep.
          Four days later, it was Humphrey’s birthday.  The whole pack had a huge party that night.  They played some games like the wolf pile.
“Daddy!  Daddy!” yelled Zuki.
“Huh?” responded Humphrey.
“Wolf pile!” yelled Zuki, Sable, and Sam.  The three wolves landed on top of Humphrey.
“Oof!” grunted Humphrey, “Nice one, guys!”
“Thanks dad!” said Zuki.  Soon, Kate comes into the scene.
“Well, well, well.  What do we have here?” said Kate
“Hey, Kate!” said Humphrey.
“Hi, Humphrey,” said Kate, “And hello, Zuki, Sam, and Sable.  How is the party?”
“It’s all great!” said Sam.
“Well, just glad that all of you are having a great time,” said Kate.
“Hey, Kate,” said Humphrey.
“Yes?” said Kate.
“I think we should teach Zuki when he is older.”
“Yeah, I think so too.  But anyways, want to go log riding?”
“Sure!  Come on, kids!”  Hours later, everyone grew tired and calls it a night.  Kate, Humphrey, and Zuki walks back to their den.  Zuki’s parents huddle around him and nuzzle him.  “Good night, Zuki,” said Kate.  Soon, they all fall asleep.
          As the weeks pass, spring comes quickly.  We find the three pups watching their parents, Kate, Humphrey, Lilly, and Garth stalking caribou.  As Humphrey inches his way towards a caribou, he gets knocked down by one of the caribou.  He gets trampled on the chest, thus paralyzing him from hunting anymore.
“Daddy!” yelled Zuki.  The three wolves rushed towards Humphrey.  Kate stopped the hunt and the rest of the wolves huddled around Humphrey.  Kate took her paw and placed it over his chest to check for a pulse.
“He’s fine, but we need to take him back to the den,” said Kate.
The wolves dragged Humphrey’s body back to the den while the pups follow Kate back to the den.  “Will daddy be alright?” asked Zuki in a frightened matter.  “Yes, do not worry, Zuki,” said Kate.  As they arrive to the den, Kate asks the three pups to stay outside for a while.  As the pups leave, Kate sat down in a lying position and starts to nuzzle and lick Humphrey.  Eve then drags Humphrey towards his sleeping area.  “Kate, stop licking Humphrey,” said Eve, “Just give him some time.  He will wake up soon.”  “Okay, mom,” said Kate.  She then stops licking Humphrey and leaves the den.  Kate returns to the hunt, but as soon she arrives, the caribou disappeared.  “Where did they go?” thought Kate.  She examines the area and finds nothing strange, besides the fact that the caribou disappeared for no apparent reason.  She then leaves and heads back to the den.  “Oh, Humphrey,” thought Kate, “How can this happen to you?”  She sighs because she keeps thinking of ways to protect Humphrey.  She wants to repay him for saving her life three times.  She then lies down over Humphrey.  Zuki then snuggled in.

Chapter 2:
          The next morning, Kate wakes up tired.  “Good morning, Humphrey!” said Kate.  She yawned and notices Humphrey attempting to get up.  “Uh, Kate,” said Humphrey, “Can you lend me a paw?”  Kate then helps Humphrey gets back up on his feet.  “Thanks,” said Humphrey and licks Kate’s cheek.  Kate then giggled and said back, “Your welcome, my silly omega.”  Humphrey then blushed a little.  Soon, they both realize that Zuki was staring at them the whole time.  “Um, what were you guys talking about?” asked Zuki, “And who was the ‘silly omega’?”
“Oh, um,” said Humphrey hesitantly, “I believe that would be, uh, me.”  Zuki then giggled and said, “You’re totally weird and funny.”
“Okay, enough Zuki,” said Kate, “Why don’t you go and meet your cousins at the other den?  We’ll go and get some breakfast.”
“Okay!” said Zuki.
“Okay, Humphrey, are you ready?” asked Kate.
“You bet I am-Oww!” yelled Humphrey.  He placed his paw right on his chest.  “Actually, on second thought,” said Humphrey, “I’ll stay here.”
“Um, okay Humphrey,” said Kate.  She then nuzzles Humphrey’s nose and runs off to hunt for some caribou.
          As soon as Kate arrives to the area where the caribou are supposed to be grazing, she finds the other wolves searching for caribou.
“Hutch,” asked Kate, “What happened here and where are the caribou?”
“They’re gone.  I don’t know how.  We can’t get hold of any other wolves outside of Jasper Park because the Sam that helped you last year is the last wolf that was not from here,” Hutch responded back.  They searched for hours, and found no caribou, not even one.  Kate then proposed a speech.
“Everyone,” said Kate, “The caribou has gone missing.  We need volunteers to help us search for the caribou.”  “I’ll go,” said Zuki.
“No, Zuki,” said Kate, “You’re too young.”
“Yeah, like that slacker can help,” snickered Robert.
“Hey!” yelled Zuki, “Be quiet, Robert!”
“What did that pup call my baby?” said Kate strictly.
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” said Jack in a sarcastic voice.  Jack is the beta wolf of the pack.  He and his son, Robert is both big jerks and loves to cause trouble.
“Get out of here,” said Humphrey in a serious mood as he struggle his way up the hill.
“Humphrey…” said Kate as she whispers in Humphrey’s ear, “What are you doing here?  You should be back at the den.”
“What is this?” said Jack “Is this a speech or honeymoon time?”  The pack starts to growl at Jack.  Eve then enters in the crowd and stands in front of Jack.
“Okay, Jack,” said Eve, “If you say anymore negative comments during Kate’s speeches, I will personally rip out your heart and shove it down your throat, so you know how black and cold it tastes!”  Soon the whole pack backed away, except for Jack who just stood back a little.
“Uh, everyone is dismissed now,” said Kate, “Zuki, come here.”
“Okay, mom,” Zuki.
“Come to the den with me and we’ll discuss some stuff in private.”
“Okay.”
The three wolves headed back to the den.  “Okay Zuki,” said Kate, “Tonight, I’ll let you help me search for the caribou.”
“Thank you, mommy!” exclaimed Zuki in an exciting mood.
“But,” said Kate, “You must act seriously, like an alpha.  Do you understand?”  Zuki nodded his head.
“Alright then, let’s go,” said Kate, “Oh, and Humphrey, please keep watch of the den, thank you.”
“I will,” said Humphrey, “Good luck!”  He then hugs Kate.  Soon, Kate and Zuki left the den.  “Dang,” thought Humphrey, “She is still hot, even if she’s serious.  I would like to call it: ‘Hot and dangerous’.”  He then laughs to himself and starts to keep watch over the den.
Kate and Zuki searched the plains.  They searched for half an hour and found nothing.  They gave up and headed back to the den.
“Did you find anything, Kate?” said Humphrey.  Kate shook her head.  “Come on, Kate, let’s get some rest,” said Humphrey.  He then nuzzles Kate’s cheek because she was starting to look sad.  “Okay, Humphrey,” said Kate.  She then looks up at Humphrey and starts to giggle a little bit.  She then nuzzles Humphrey’s nose.  “Zuki?” said Kate.  “Yes mommy?” said Zuki.
“Let’s get some rest,” said Kate.
“Okay,” said Zuki.  Kate and Humphrey nuzzle Zuki as he starts to fall asleep.  “Hey Humphrey,” said Kate.
“Yes, my alpha, Kate?” said Humphrey.  He then chuckles softly.
“Come with me outside,” said Kate and gives a wink.  The two wolves meet each other outside the den.  Kate then knocks Humphrey on his back.
“Oof!  Kate!” said Humphrey.
“How’s that for a girl’s strength?” said Kate with a smile.  She then stands on top of him.
“Very funny, Kate” said Humphrey as he looks up at Kate’s face.  He then gives her a wink.  They both nuzzle each other’s noses.  “Come on, Kate let’s go inside,” said Humphrey.  “Okay,” said Kate.  The two wolves went inside and huddled around Zuki.  Both of them go into a lying position.  “Good night, Kate,” said Humphrey.  He then licks Kate’s cheek.  “Good night, my funny omega,” said Kate as she giggles softly.  She then licks Humphrey’s cheek in return.  “Humphrey,” said Kate.  “Yes?” Humphrey replied back.  “I’m pregnant again.  I forgot to tell you that.  When the veterinarians set us free, I heard them talking about me having two babies.  Right now I feel like I’m having another one.”  “Really?” said Humphrey excitedly.  “Really,” said Kate softly.  “Okay, good night Humphrey,” she said.  The three wolves then fall asleep.

Chapter 3:
          The next morning, Zuki wakes up.  He then decides to go to his cousins’ den.  As he walks towards his cousins’ den, Robert hops out of the bushes and lands in front of Zuki.  “Robert, get of my way,” said Zuki.
“I heard that you didn’t find any caribou,” snickered Robert, “You know, I should be the alpha kid because I can find the caribou faster than you can.”
“In your dreams Robert, now get out of my way,” yelled Zuki.
“Okay, if you insist,” said Robert.
When Zuki enters in his cousins’ den, he finds his uncle, Garth, keeping watch over Lilly and the pups.
“Hello, Zuki,” said Garth.
“Hi Uncle Garth,” said Zuki, “I was wondering if I can play with Sam and Sable.”
“I’m afraid I can’t let them play,” said Garth, “They need some rest.”
“Okay,” said Zuki.  He lowers his head and walks away.  Days passed and the pack had eaten nothing but scraps and some bitter berries.  Humphrey recovers from his injury.  One afternoon, Zuki lies in the den, tired as Kate takes care of him.  Soon, Hutch comes in the den and tells Kate some bad news.  They move outside of the den, leaving Zuki alone.  He then hears every word they say.
“What’s the news, Hutch?” said Kate anxiously.
“The caribou are nowhere to be seen.  We can only hope for the best,” said Hutch, “Kate, come with me, let me show you that the caribou are nowhere to be found.”  They both head towards the grassy plains.
Zuki lies in the den with Humphrey, feeling sad.
“Daddy?” said Zuki, “What is mommy doing?”
“I don’t know, son,” said Humphrey, “I’ll follow her.  Wait here.”  Humphrey then left the den and follows Kate.
Zuki then tries to fall asleep.  When he wakes up, he saw a white mist flowing through the den.  It slowly started to take a form.  Zuki then backed away from the mist.  Soon, it finally took shape of Winston’s spirit.  The gray and white colors started to go over the shape of the body.
“Zuki,” said Winston.
“Who are you?” said Zuki in a frightened voice.
“I am your grandfather’s spirit, Winston.  I was Kate’s father.”
“H-h-h-how are you alive?” said Zuki in a chattering voice.
“I’m alive inside Kate and Eve’s heart, but not in the real world.”
“Why are you here?” said Zuki as he slowly calms down.
“I am here to inform you why the caribou is gone.”
“Huh?  You know where the caribou’s location?”
“Yes.  They are located in Idaho, Sawtooth National Forest.”
“How did they get there?”
“The park rangers’ calculations and information had gotten mixed up.  The incorrect information misleads the park rangers.  One of the paper work had an order to send in a couple of caribou over to Idaho, but they sent nearly all of the caribou over to Idaho.”  Winston then sighed.
“What do you want me to do?”
“I want you to search for the caribou and bring them back here.”
“No, no I can’t.  I’m too young.  I’m not even ready to hunt yet.”
Winston then came closer to Zuki and places his paw on Zuki’s left shoulder.
“Zuki,” said Winston, “There was an ancient prophecy that was made from our ancestors.  It was said that a family was chosen to search for the caribou when they disappear.  I am here to tell you that your family was chosen to search for the missing caribou.  Do not be afraid.”  Soon, Kate and Humphrey comes into the den.
“Dad?” said Kate.  She started cry.
“Kate,” said Winston, “I am only here to inform you where the missing caribou’s location is.”
“Dad,” said Kate while crying, “I want you to stay.”
“I’m sorry, Kate, but remember what Humphrey has told you.”  He then goes over to Kate and places his paw on the left side of her chest.  “I will be alive in you and your mother, forever.”  He then goes over to Humphrey.  “Humphrey,” said Winston, “The missing caribous’ location is in Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho.”
“If that’s the case, then we need to get a group of alpha wolves to help us search for the caribou,” said Humphrey.
“Don’t, Humphrey,” said Winston, “If you do that, then your group will riot against you.  The legend says that the chosen family can only find the missing caribou.  Bringing a team of alpha wolves along will make things much harder.  It’s best off if you three go alone.”
“But we can’t do it together!” cried Kate, while she slowly stops crying, “It’s impossible!”
“Kate,” said Winston, “Remember, we cannot do the impossible alone, but we can choose to do it together.”  Winston goes outside the den and looks up at the sky.  The sky slowly starts to turn into night.
“My time is short,” said Winston.  He then walks over to Kate.  Kate, at that time, has her head down while sitting on the floor.  “Kate,” said Winston, “Look at me for a moment.”  She then looked up at Winston.  “Here,” said Winston.  He licked and nuzzled her cheek.  “I will always be your father, and I will always be with you,” said Winston.  He then walks over to Humphrey.  “Humphrey,” said Winston, “Take care of Kate.”  Humphrey nodded his head.  Winston then went outside then den and looks back at Kate, Humphrey, and Zuki.  “Before I leave, you must leave tonight to search for the caribou.  Scraps and bones are not enough for the pack.  Remember the location.  It is Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho.”  Winston then slowly starts to disappear.  “Farewell,” he said.  He then disappears completely.  A trail of white mist formed in his place and headed toward the sky.
“We have to go now,” said Humphrey.  Kate was still depressed.  She lied down on the floor.
“Mommy,” said Zuki, “I understand now.  I understand why you didn’t want to tell me, but now I know.”
“I just want him back,” said Kate, “He means a lot to me.”  She then started to cry again.  Humphrey then walks over to Kate.  “Kate,” said Humphrey, attempting to cheer her up, “Your father loved you very much.  This is what he wants.  He loved you all the time and so do Zuki and I.”  He then nuzzles Kate’s cheek and walks outside of the cave to keep watch.  Kate then slowly stops crying and walks towards Humphrey and sits in front of him.  “Thank you Humphrey,” she said and nuzzles his nose.  “We must leave soon,” she said.
“Agreed,” said Humphrey, “Zuki, are you ready to go?”
“I’m ready,” said Zuki.
“Alright then,” said Humphrey, “Let’s go.”  The wolves left their den in the dark night.  While they are running through dense forest, they carefully made sure that their scent is gone.  Thanks to the wind, their scent had been blown away.  Soon, they hopped on the Canadian Express Train to get to Idaho.
          Back at Jasper Park, the park rangers shot some tranquilizer darts at Lilly, Garth, Sam, and Sable while they are sleeping.  They took Sam and Sable and placed the two pups in two different cages.  They then took them into a plane and headed off somewhere else in the world.

Chapter 4:
          The next morning, Eve was still sleeping, unaware of what had happened last night.  She then woke up and stretched.  Soon, Jack comes in the den.
“Eve!” said Jack in a panicked voice.
“What is it, Jack,” said Eve in a serious mood.
“Kate, Humphrey, Zuki, Sable, and Sam are gone!”
“What?  How am I supposed to believe you?”
“Take a look outside.”  When Eve looked outside, she saw the whole pack scattered everywhere searching for the missing wolves.
“Why did you help me?” said Eve sternly.
“I was sorry that one night when Kate was making that announcement.  I was crazy.  I want you to understand that I am a beta wolf.  And beta wolves can help lead the pack temporarily,” said Jack, “Let me lead temporarily.”
“I still don’t trust you,” said Eve, “I want Garth and Lilly to take over temporarily.”
“He can’t,” said Jack, “He’s busy searching for Sable and Sam.  Look, you retired being the leader of the pack.  Let me for a little bit.  Garth and Lilly are searching harder than Kate and Humphrey.  That’s why I want to lead.”  Eve thought about it for a moment and finally made her decision.  “Alright, I will grant you permission to lead temporarily.  But, once when the missing wolves are found, they are back in control,” said Eve.
“Thank you,” said Jack.  He then calls Robert over to Kate’s den.
          Meanwhile, Sam and Sable wakes up and finds themselves inside two cages.
“Uh,” groaned Sam, “Huh?  Where am I?  Sable?  Where are you?”
“I’m right here,” said Sable.
“Where are we?”
“I have no idea.”  Soon, the cages were opened and the raced off into the unknown area around them.  “Come on, sister, run fast-” said Sam.  He hit his head on an invisible wall.  “Sam, are you alright?” said Sable as she approached him.  “I’m fine,” said Sam, “But what is this thing?”  He touches the invisible wall.  He then pounces at it, but fails.  “How do we get out of here?” Sable thought.
          Near Idaho, we find Kate and Zuki sleeping, while Humphrey keeps watch over them.  Humphrey then goes over to Kate and wakes her up.  “Kate, Kate, come on, wake up,” he said.  “Humphrey?” said Kate while yawning, “Are we there yet?”
“No,” responded Humphrey, “But, can I talk to you for a little bit?”
“Okay,” said Kate.  The two wolves then walked away from Zuki.
“Kate, I don’t know we really are the chosen family to search for the caribou.  What if we’re not the chosen ones?” said Humphrey.
“Humphrey, we saw my father,” said Kate, “He was there and he was real.  There was a reason why we are doing this.  There was a reason why he made us do this, for a purpose.”  Kate then looked outside and recognized mountains.  “We’re here,” said Kate, “Come on!” and she licked his cheek and they both giggled.  “Okay, let me wake up our son,” said Humphrey.  He then woke Zuki up and they hopped off the train.  “Okay, which way do we go?” said Kate.  “Kate,” said Humphrey, “Remember?”
“Oh yeah.  We have to climb the mountain,” said Kate.  “Oh great,” she thought, “I hope we don’t have to cross that huge crevice again.”
“Mommy, are you alright?” asked Zuki.
“Oh!” said Kate in a surprised voice.  She then starts to giggle.
“Yes, I’m fine, Zuki,” she said.
“Come on,” said Humphrey, “Let’s go, sweetie.  You too Zuki.”
“Okay, dad, I’m coming!” said Zuki excitingly.  The three wolves went up the snowy mountain.

Chapter 5:
          Meanwhile, Sam and Sable search exhaustedly around the area where they are.  “Dang it!” yelled Sam, “Where are we?”
“Where are you, you ask?” said a pigeon as he flies down towards the two pups, “Why, you’re in Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle!”
“Um, yeah” said Sable, “Where is Seattle exactly?”
“Seattle is a city in Washington State, one of the states of the United States of America,” said the pigeon in a patriotic voice.
“What is a zoo exactly?” asked Sam.
“A zoo is place where humans take animals and place them in safe areas where no harm can come to them,” said the pigeon.
“Why are we here?” asked Sable.
“The humans are trying to rescue you.  Eventually, they will release you back to the wild,” said the pigeon, “Oh by the way, the name’s Kyle, nice to meet you.”
“Hi,” said Sam, “Anyways, when will the humans release us?”
“Uh, usually around five human years, I don’t know really,” said Kyle.
“How many wolf years is that?” asked Sam.
“Let me think for a minute,” said Kyle.  He thought about it for a moment.  “Ah-ha!  I think I’ve got it!” said Kyle, “Five human years equals to about thirty-three years wolf years.  That is quite a while from now.”
“Oh gosh,” said Sable, “We need to get back to Jasper!”
“Don’t worry,” said Kyle, “I will help you.  I just need to switch some files around.  I’ll be right back!”
“Switch some what?” said Sable.  The two wolves then noticed some humans looking at them.
“Uh, I think we better go!”  They then hid to the nearest bush.
“Mommy?” asked one of the kids, “What were those wolves doing?”
“Oh, I don’t know sweet heart,” said the kid’s mother.  The humans then left.
          Back at Idaho, the sun was starting to fade over the mountains.  Clouds then started to roll over the sky.  The three wolves reached a huge gap.  “Oh, great,” thought Kate, “I did not want to be at this area again.”  She then had memories of her biting Humphrey’s tail.  She then starts to giggle at herself, softly.  “Uh, Kate,” said Humphrey, “Remember that one time?”  He then gave a wink to Kate.  She then walked over to him and whispered in his ear, “Yes, I do.”  “Uh, mom,” said Zuki, “How do we cross this?”
“Okay, Zuki,” said Kate, “This is when you need to put your alpha senses to the test.”  Suddenly, it started to rain.  “Kate, let’s be careful this time,” said Humphrey.  “Yeah,” said Kate, “I don’t want to do ‘that’ again.”  The three wolves looked down at the pitfall.  They notice the mud sliding down through the crevice.  Kate pounces down first, then Humphrey, and finally Zuki.  The three wolves safely make it across.  “Phew,” thought Humphrey, “I’m glad Kate didn’t have to bite my tail again.  I would embarrass myself in front of Zuki!”  “Let’s call it a night,” said Kate.  Humphrey and Zuki nodded their head.  They searched and found shelter.  They then fell asleep.
          Back at Woodland Park Zoo, night covers the entire city of Seattle.  Kyle comes back to give Sam and Sable the news.
“Sam, Sable!” yelled Kyle, “Are you here?”
The two pups walked out of the dark.
“Yeah, we’re here,” said Sam, “What’s the news?”
“I switched the files around.  They should send you to Idaho tonight,” said Kyle.
“What?” said Sable in a shocking voice, “Why are you going to make them send us to Idaho?”
“Look,” said Kyle, “I can’t find any paper work on Jasper Park.  Idaho is close to Canada.  There is also a train called the Canadian Express.  It passes by Jasper Park.”
“Oh,” said Sable in a more comfortable manner, “In that case, thanks.”
“It’s a pleasure,” said Kyle, “Get some rest you two.  The park rangers should be here any time now to take you to Idaho.”
“Okay, good night,” said Sam.

Chapter 6:
          The next morning in Idaho, the three wolves are sleeping peacefully.  Humphrey yawns and rolls over to his left.  Kate rolls over to her left.  At that time, Kate and Humphrey’s noses are touching each other.  Zuki then wakes up and sees a shocking moment.
“Uh, mom, dad?” said Zuki, “What are you doing?”
Both Kate and Humphrey wake up and both of them are surprised to see each other touching each other’s noses.
“Uh,” said Humphrey, “It’s an accident.”  He then gives a wink to Kate.
“Sure,” said Zuki while rolling his eyes.  Kate then starts to whimper and grunt.  “Uh, sweetie,” said Humphrey, “What’s wrong with you?”
Kate then whispered in Humphrey’s ear, “Its coming!”  She then held her paw right her stomach and started to breathe hard.  Humphrey then gasped.  “The baby is coming?” whispered Humphrey in a soft, shocking voice.
“What’s going on?” asked Zuki.  Humphrey then walked over to Zuki.
“Your mother is going to have a baby any time right now,” said Humphrey, “You stick with your mother, and I’ll go and find the caribou.”
“Dad…” said Zuki.
“Humphrey,” said Kate, “I’ll be fine on my own.”
“No, Kate, I don’t want to lose this time,” said Humphrey.
“Humphrey, come over here,” said Kate, “Trust me on this.  I trusted you on that log ride a few years ago.  Now just trust me.”  Humphrey then sighed and lowered his head.  He then brings his head up higher and gives Kate a hug.
“Come on, Zuki,” said Humphrey, “Let’s go and find the caribou.”
          Meanwhile, Sam and Sable find themselves inside a cage again.  As soon as they woke up, they saw their cage open.  They then ran outside and find themselves at Sawtooth National Forest in the middle of the day.
“Well, well, well.  Look who is up!” said Kyle, “Good luck getting back to Jasper Park.”
“Thanks,” said Sam.  The two wolves start to wander around the area and find a half open log.  “Hey Sable, want to use the log to go faster?” said Sam.
“Okay!” said Sable excitedly.  They knew what to do because back at Jasper Park, Humphrey taught them how to ride and steer a log.  Soon, they pushed off the hill and off they went.  They dodged trees and rocks.  “Hey Sable, I think we need to work on the BRAKES!” yelled Sam.  He saw a rock up ahead.  The slammed into it and they were flung many feet up in the air.  They then crashed down near a cliff.  The two wolves were laughing.  Soon, they looked over the cliff and saw two wolves hiding underneath the tall, green grass.
“Hmm,” thought Sam, “I wonder if they are friendly.”  Sam then howled at the two wolves.  “Sam!” yelled Sable, “What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to see if those wolves down there are on our side.  If they are, they can help.”
Down the cliff, Humphrey and Zuki recognized that howl.  “Hmm,” thought Humphrey, “I probably should howl back because it sounds like Sam.”  Humphrey then howled back at Sam.  “That’s definitely Humphrey,” thought Sam.  “Hey Uncle Humphrey!” yelled Sam.  “Hey, Sam!” yelled Humphrey.
“Wait for us!  We’ll go down!” yelled Sable.  The two pups did a flip in the air and landed safely down on the ground.  Humphrey then stares at them in amazement.  When the two pups approached him, he placed his paw in front of them and said, “Nice job, guys.”  The two pups then took their paw up and did a high-five to Humphrey’s paw.  The two pups then laughed.
“So, Uncle Humphrey, what can we do?” said Sam.
“Zuki and I are searching for the missing caribou around this area,” said Humphrey, “You should probably meet your Aunt Kate over on the top of that hill.”  He pointed to the top of the hill behind him.
“Okay,” said Sable.  The two pups then ran up the hill.
“Aunt Kate!” yelled Sam.
“Sam?  Sable?  Is that you?” yelled Kate.
When the two pups arrive, they noticed that Kate was in pain.
“What is going on?” asked Sam.  Kate then whispered what’s going on in their ear.  The two wolves then gasped.
          Meanwhile, Zuki and Humphrey found the herd of caribou.  “Okay, Zuki,” said Humphrey, “We need to find out how to get the herd back to Jasper Park.”  But suddenly, they heard human voices in the forest behind them.  “Hide!” said Humphrey softly.  They hid under the tall grass.  When the humans came out of the forest, it turns out that the humans are the park rangers from Jasper.  “It’s a good thing that we followed those wolves,” said one of the park rangers.  “Yeah,” said another, “If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have found the caribou.  Our navigation systems were down.”  Zuki heard everything what the park rangers had said.  “Dad, we can go now!” said Zuki, “The park rangers will take the caribou back to Jasper!”  As the park rangers moved the herd of caribou in a certain direction, one of them accidentally dropped a sheet of paper without knowing it.  Both Zuki and Humphrey walked over to the sheet of paper.  Zuki then sniffed the sheet of paper.  Suddenly, he recognized a scent that was hidden inside there.  He then starts to growl.  “Uh, Zuki?” said Humphrey, “Are you okay?”  Zuki then turned his head to Humphrey.  “I believe I know what the cause was that had driven the caribou away from Jasper.  “What is it?” asked Humphrey.  Zuki then whispered the name in his ear.  “Are you sure, Zuki?” said Humphrey.  Zuki nodded his head confidently.  “Let’s get back to mom,” said Zuki.  Humphrey nodded his head.  The two wolves ran through the tall grass and walked through the dense forest.  As they arrive to see Kate, they notice her in a lying position hiding something.
“Kate,” said Humphrey softly, “Are you alright?”
Kate turned her head towards Humphrey’s head and giggled.  She then revealed what she was hiding.  Zuki and Humphrey then gasped.  Kate had revealed her new baby.
“Is it a boy or a girl?” said Zuki excitedly.
Humphrey inspected the newborn pup.
“It’s a girl, son,” said Humphrey.  He then nuzzled Kate’s cheek.
“What should we name her?” said Kate, “It’s your turn to name our pup.”  Humphrey thought for a moment.
“How about Christina?” asked Humphrey.
“That’s a beautiful name,” said Kate, “Humphrey, how can we take her back to Jasper Park safely?”
“We must be extra careful this time,” said Humphrey, “It might take us two days to get back to Jasper.”  Kate then placed the baby on Humphrey’s back.  The six wolves watched over Christina, making sure that she was out of harms reach.

Chapter 7:
Two rough days had passed.  The six wolves finally made it back to Jasper Park safely.  They were exhausted.  Christina can sort of walk now.  When they arrived, they were in shock of what they saw.
“What happened here?” thought Kate.  There were wolves hiding inside their den.  They were hungry and tired.  When the six wolves arrived inside Kate’s den, they saw Eve tired and weak.  “Mom!” yelled Kate.  But as Kate starts to run towards Eve, Jack gets in the way.  Zuki then steps in front.  “Heh,” snickered Jack, “Hey Zuki.”
“Why did you send the caribou over to Idaho?” said Zuki angrily.
“Oh, yeah, about that,” said Jack, “I planned to get rid of you and your relatives, so I can lead the pack.  So far, we’ve been relying on the park rangers to feed us.  You see, if you’re gone, like forever, then I can maintain control and I can become the alpha wolf!  You can’t be the alpha wolf anymore, you know.  The wolves are on my side and you don’t have any evidence to overthrow me!”
“That’s not how a true leader leads his pack,” said Kate.  Soon, they heard some growling sounds.  It was the wolf pack.  They surrounded the six wolves.  “Wait!” yelled Sam.  Sam and Sable revealed themselves to the pack.  “Sam?  Sable?  Is that you?” yelled Lilly.  “Mom!” yelled Sam, “We’re over here!”  Garth and Lilly ran towards Sam and Sable.  They soon gave each other hugs.
“What happened, Sable?” asked Garth.
“Jack sent us to Idaho, just to make you and mom search for us,” said Sable.
“Who told you that?” asked Lilly.  Sable and Sam turned their heads towards Zuki.
“Zuki told us, he found Jack’s scent one of the sheets of paper from the office cabin,” said Sam.  He then had the sheet of paper that he had brought along from Idaho.
The pack then started to back away a little bit.
“Listen, everyone,” said Zuki, “We all can’t rely on the park rangers to feed us.  If we want to be the best of ourselves, then we have to rely on our own food, or even possible, move to a different land.”  The pack then thought about that.
“I learned a lesson from someone special, ‘We cannot do the impossible together, but we can choose to do it together’,” said Zuki.  He then remained silent and walks away.  The pack makes way for Zuki, but Garth stops him for a moment.  “Hey, Zuki,” whispered Garth, “I’ll take care of Jack, just sit back.”  The pack then starts to growl at Jack.  Garth then walks in front of Jack and looks straight into his eyes.  “Get out of here,” said Garth in a serious voice.  “Robert!” yelled Jack, “Spring the trap!”  Robert then rushes towards Zuki and starts to push Zuki down the small cliff behind him.  The cliff is about twenty feet down and the bottom is flat, but it still is a great height to fall from.  “Farewell,” said Robert.  He then shoves Zuki down the cliff with all his might.  Zuki then fell twenty feet down to the ground.  The whole pack gasped.  “Zuki!” yelled Kate and Humphrey.  They ran down the cliff to reach Zuki.
“Zuki,” said Kate, “Wake up, please.”  She nudges Zuki’s body.  She checked for a pulse, but there was no heart beat.  Kate starts to cry.  The pack then fell silent for a moment.  Suddenly, as Kate prepared to howl for Zuki, she saw two white mists heading down towards the ground.  It then came towards the pack.  It slowly took two forms.  The first mist had gray and white colors.  The second mist had dark brown and burnt sienna colors.  Both mists took the form of Winston and Tony.  The pack then backed away from them.  Winston and Tony then walked up to Kate, who is currently crying for Zuki.  Humphrey then stood up.  “Humphrey,” said Winston, “Do not worry for Zuki.”  He then placed his paw on Humphrey’s shoulder.  “Every living being deserves a second chance.  Zuki proved his honor,” said Tony.  Winston and Tony both look at each other and nodded.  They both walked over to Kate.  “Dad,” said Kate while crying, “I failed to protect my son.”  Winston then gave Kate a hug.  “Do not worry, Kate.  He’s going to be just fine,” said Winston.  Just then, Eve came down and ran towards Winston.  “I thought you were gone,” said Eve.  “I am alive inside you and Kate’s heart,” said Winston, “Tony and I will do everything in our power to help Zuki.  Eve then started crying.  “Are you sure you want to do this?” said Eve.  “Honey,” said Winston, “Every wolf deserves a second chance.  Zuki has proven his bravery.”  Eve then gave Winston a hug.  Winston then walked over to Jack and Robert.  They tried to run, but Winston’s tail extended and he wrapped the two wolves around him.  The two wolves struggle to get out, but fail.  “Kate and Humphrey,” said Winston, “Bring Zuki over here.”  Kate and Humphrey looked at each other and nodded.  Kate slowly stops crying and both of them carried Zuki’s body to Winston.  “Are you ready, old friend?” said Winston.  “Any time, now,” said Tony.  Soon, Winston and Tony disappear slowly.  Kate then walked in front of Winston.  “Good bye, Kate,” said Winston.  “Good bye…” said Kate, “dad.”  She then started to cry.  She then gives him a hug.  But then, Winston is completely gone and so was Tony.  What replaced their spots were two white mists.  It then traveled high into the sky and went straight down towards earth.  The two mists combined together and entered Zuki’s body.  It created a bright light and explosion.  The explosion created a bright yellow light.  Surprisingly, the explosion did not hurt anyone, but it knocked everyone down to the ground.  After the explosion, the wolves got back up on their feet.  They then looked at Zuki to see if he can move.  Kate then walked towards Zuki and nuzzled his cheek.  Zuki then made a sighing sound and then he slowly opened his eyes.  “Zuki,” said Kate softly, “I thought I lost you.”  She then hugged Zuki.  “What happened?” said Zuki”.  He looked at Humphrey for a moment.  “Oh, I remember, someone pushed me down a cliff, and yet, I can’t remember who did it,” said Zuki confusingly.  The pack then pointed at Jack and Robert.  Zuki then ran towards Jack and Robert.  Jack snickered, “Robert, go get him.”  When Robert pounces forward towards Zuki, Zuki then spun a three hundred sixty degree circle and used his tail as a whip.  He whipped Robert’s face hard enough to make Robert fall down to the ground, which caused him to whimper.  “What?” thought Zuki, “How did I do that?”  He looked at himself in a strange way.  When he looked back at the pack, all the wolves backed away a little bit.  Zuki’s facial appearance changed.  He then turned his head back towards Jack.  “Don’t come back here, ever, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!” said Zuki in an aggressive, serious voice.  He then started to growl.  Afraid of what else Zuki can do, Jack backed away from Zuki and told Robert to flee with him, somewhere outside of Jasper Park.  Zuki then stopped growling.

Chapter 8:
          Zuki then walked over to his parents.  “Zuki,” said Humphrey curiously, “How did you do that?”  “I don’t know, dad,” said Zuki.  All of a sudden, the spirit of Winston and Tony both came out of Zuki’s body.  “We will keep him alive as long as possible.  He has some super natural instincts that he has to learn and control,” said Tony.  Zuki then turned his head towards Winston and Tony’s spirit.  “Why am I like this?” he asked.
“Zuki,” said Winston, “You and your sister, Christina will be the future leaders of the pack.  You and your family and relatives are the only ones who hold the key to the next generation’s survival.  Please understand it, Zuki.”  Winston and Tony then faded away and their spirits went back to Zuki’s body.  “Well, Zuki,” said Humphrey in a fun-loving mood, “I guess you will have more training to do!”  “Aw, dad!”  said Zuki.  Kate then giggles and licks Zuki’s cheek.  “Alright, let’s go back to the den.  It’s almost sunset.”  The two wolves nodded their heads and everyone called it a day.  But before everyone can go to sleep, Kate made an announcement.  “Next time everyone, use your heads.  Okay good night,” said Kate.  All the wolves then learned their lesson.  When everyone left, the park rangers came with the herd of caribou, giving a special treat to the wolves tomorrow morning.  When Kate, Humphrey, Christina, and Zuki made it back to the den, Zuki and Christina started to play with each other.  Kate and Humphrey sat back and watched them play.  “Good, old times, remember, Humphrey?” whispered Kate.  Humphrey thought about the moments back at the train when they both howled a romantic duet together at the full moon and the one time when Humphrey felt how strong Kate’s alpha jaws was.
“Yeah, great times,” whispered Humphrey.  They both then nuzzled each other’s noses and Kate pushed Humphrey over.
“You’re not going to get away this time!” said Humphrey in a playful voice.
“Give it up Humphrey, you’ll never catch me!” said Kate as they ran outside the den.  As Kate was running, she stopped and looked behind her.  “Humphrey?” yelled Kate.  Humphrey then pounced out of the bushes and got Kate on her back this time.  Humphrey was then on top of Kate.  “Omega one, alpha zero,” said Humphrey and he gave a playful wink.  “Wow,” thought Humphrey, “Kate is really hot tonight.”  Kate then made that beautiful facial expression that makes her really attractive.  “Oh, you silly omega!” said Kate, “Come on, let’s go to sleep.”  Humphrey nodded his head.  They told Zuki and Christina to go to sleep.  Soon, everyone was asleep.

Chapter 9:
          The next morning, the pack wakes up.  The first thing that they saw was some caribou out in the distance.  Soon, Kate, Humphrey, Zuki, and Christina wake up from their sleep.  Zuki then immediately asks his dad to play with him.
“Hey dad,” said Zuki, “Can I play with you?”
“Okay, Zuki.  You deserve it,” said Humphrey.  The two wolves did some wolf piles and chased each other around the den.  They soon ran outside the den to play.  Kate then comes over to Humphrey to ask a request.
“Humphrey,” said Kate, “Let me play with Zuki today.  I haven’t got the chance to do so in the past, so let me today.  You can watch over Christina!”  She then gave a playful wink.
“Okay, Kate,” said Humphrey and they gave each other nuzzles.  Kate starts to play with Zuki, while Humphrey takes care of Christina.
          As the days pass, Christina starts to get more active.  She starts to play with Zuki.  She has the same personality as Zuki, but she’s not as swift as Zuki.  The two wolves both chase each other around the plains.  Kate and Humphrey, both in a sitting position, watches over them.  Soon, Garth and Lilly comes in.
“Hey, Kate,” said Garth, “I want to ask you a favor.  Can you watch over Sam and Sable for us?  We’re going hunting and the pups want to play with Zuki and Christina.”
“Of course,” said Kate in a cheerful mood.
“Thanks, big sister,” said Lilly.
“No problem,” responded Kate.
“Okay kids,” said Garth, “You can play with Zuki and Christina.  Remember to behave!”
“Okay dad!” said Sam and Sable.  The two pups ran towards the plains and start to chase Zuki and Christina around.  The four pups then did a wolf pile.  Kate and Humphrey laughed as they watched them play.  They both looked at each other and gave each other nuzzles.  As they watched the pups play, they never forgot what Winston had said to them: “We cannot do the impossible alone, but we can choose to do it together.”
“It looks like the worst is over,” said Humphrey.
“Yeah,” said Kate, “I think so too.”  Kate and Humphrey’s adventure has come to an end, but the pups’ adventure has yet to come.

Alpha and Omega II: The New Adventure Begins
By: Uarecaught


Chapter 1:
November 22, 2011, the two packs prevented a deadly war from happening.  Kate and Humphrey are both married now.  Lilly and Garth are also married.  All four of them are leaders of the one, united pack.  From that point on, the four wolves kept the same tradition about pack law, except for alphas marrying omegas.  It had been a year since their marriage.  Kate still hunts, but Humphrey, as usual, plays and jokes around.  But now, he tells his friends about his previous adventure.  Kate does the same now, but not as often as Humphrey.  At this point, Winston and Tony are both friends.  They can no longer hunt, due to their old bodies.  Instead, they watch everyone’s hunts.  One day, Humphrey asked Kate for something in the morning.
“Hey Kate!” said Humphrey.  “Yes, Humphrey?” said Kate in a delightful mood.
“Oh, I had just been wondering…”
“Continue on.”
“I wonder if you can train me to hunt for caribou, you know…”
“You’re an omega.  Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m positive.  Even though I play with my friends, I still can’t stand watching you hunt with the other wolves.  I want to help you Kate.  Just give me a chance.”
“Well…okay then!  Just under one condition.”
“Yes?”
“You have to follow what I say when I train you.”
“Okay.”
Soon, Garth comes into the conversation and requests Kate for something.
“Kate, I have a request,” said Garth.
“Continue on,” said Kate seriously.
“Lilly wants to learn how to hunt.  Is it okay if we teach Lilly and Humphrey how to hunt?”
“Heh, yes, of course.”
“Thank you.”

          During the winter, Lilly and Humphrey spent hours and hours of training.
“Oww…” said Humphrey painfully, “learning these swift moves are definitely hard!”  “What do you expect?” said Kate laughing at the same time, “It’s not that easy.”  The two omegas learned new tricks and learned how to be stealthy to their prey.  At night, the wolves hang out in their dens.  During their training, Humphrey and Lilly developed speed and agility.  During the winter, the full moon had come once again.  This was always a special time for the wolves because they celebrate the moon by howling at it.
“Wow, Kate, you are really nice today,” said Humphrey shyly.  He then picks out a beautiful flower that Kate happens to like the most.  “Here,” he said.
“Thank you,” said Kate.  The two loving wolves nuzzle each other under the falling snow.  Humphrey whispers in Kate’s ear, “I love you Kate, and I always will for the rest of my life.”
Kate then whispers back, “Oh you silly wolf.  You will always be the same, caring, omega that I know.”  She then licks Humphrey at the side of his cheek and gave him a nuzzle to his nose.
“Hey Kate, look!” said Humphrey filled with excitement, “The clouds are clearing up and the full moon is coming!  Are you thinking what I am thinking?”
“Heh, oh yeah, I believe I do,” said Kate filled with excitement.  Humphrey and Kate howled a romantic duet on the summit of Howling Rock.  Later, the other wolves joined in with them.
“That was amazing Kate,” said Humphrey.
“Yeah it was,” said Kate, “Um, why don’t we call it a night?”
“Okay sure!”  Humphrey led Kate to her den.
“Okay Kate, I’ll see you tomorrow in the morning,” said Humphrey.  As soon as he heads back to his den, Kate tells him something.
“Wait, Humphrey,” Kate said.
“What is it?” Humphrey said.
“I actually want you to stay in my den with me from now on.”
“Really?”
“Really!  Come on, Humphrey!”
“Coming Kate!”  From this point on, Humphrey now sleeps with Kate in her den, instead of his friends’ den.  Humphrey allows Kate to sleep over him.  “Good night, Kate,” said Humphrey.  “Good night, Humphrey, my fun, little omega,” said Kate in a cheerful mood.
          Winter is over and spring has arrived.  The snow is melting and the flowers are starting to blossom.  Jasper Park’s grassy area where the caribou are is glowing with green light.  The sun brightens up the landscape and creating a beautiful image to the world.  We find the two alpha and two omega wolves hiding under the tall grass, stalking caribou.
“Psst!  Humphrey!  Get over here quickly!” said Kate, softly, “You too Lilly!”
“Okay, okay,” said Humphrey, “We’re here.  Now what?”
“Okay, both of you are on your own.  This will be your first hunt.  I’ll be watching you from behind.”
“Alright then, come on Lilly.”
“Oh, I’m coming Humphrey!” said Lilly delightfully, but softly at the same time, “I hope we don’t screw up because I don’t want to eat some more of those bitter berries…”
“Don’t worry, but come on, let’s get closer.”  Both Humphrey and Lilly inch their way toward a caribou.  Just then, Humphrey pounced onto one of the caribou.  Lilly comes in and helps him out.  The caribou struggles to escape, but fails.  It then gets its neck chocked on.  Their first hunt was a success.
Later during the day, Tony gives an announcement to the pack.
“Listen, everyone!  Today, Winston and I have watched the pack’s successful hunt today.  Though successful, we spot a major problem,” said Tony.
“Most of the caribou is gone,” said Winston, “and some of our wolf members of the pack are gone.”  This frightened the whole pack.  Believing that it was a ghost, they all hid in their dens.

Chapter 2:
          Night falls and all the wolves in Jasper Park fell asleep, except for Kate.  She snuck out of her den while Humphrey was asleep.  She is investigating why most of the caribou are gone.  “Big sister!  Wait up!” yelled Lilly.
“Shh!” hissed Kate, “What are you doing here?”
“I want to help investigate with you.”
“It’s too risky.  You are my little sister and you will go back to the den, now!”
“Look, just because I’m an omega doesn’t mean that I’m no help at all.”
Kate thought about that for a minute.
“Okay, you can come, but be quiet, please.”  The two wolves traveled to the grassy area where the caribou use to be.  The two girls looked for a while and found nothing.  “Hmm…” thought Kate, “something is not right here…”  “Psst!  Hey Kate!  Look what I found!”  said Lilly quietly.  She apparently sniffed out a scent and started to follow its path, fast.  “Wait a minute…” Kate thought, “Oh no!”  “Lilly!” yelled Kate, “Stop, wait!  It’s a trap!”  Lilly then turned around and looked at Kate anxiously.  “What do you mean it’s a trap?” said Lilly in a weird mood, “I’m just following this sce-” She then made a grunt noise, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.  Kate gasped and dashed towards Lilly.  “Lilly!” Kate yelled.  “Don’t worry!  I’m co-” At that point, she too made a grunt noise, and then fell to the ground into a deep sleep.  Then a group of humans with tranquilizer guns came behind the far vast hills to pick up Lilly and Kate.
          Morning comes, and Humphrey is talking in his sleep.  “Hey…Kate….What…..Hmm?....What should we name him?...Well, I don’t know…” grumble Humphrey.  Soon, the sun’s light went through the cracks of the trees and into Humphrey’s eyes.  “Oww!  That’s a really bright light!” yelled Humphrey, “Huh?  Kate?  Where are you?”  He got up and stretched.  “I wonder if this is one of Kate’s little tricks…” Humphrey thought anxiously.  “Come on now, this isn’t the time to be playing around…Kate?”  He looked all over the den and he could not find Kate.  “Oh no…no…” Humphrey thought worrying over Kate.  “Kate?” he said.  “KATE!!!” yelled Humphrey in a cryful mood.  Soon, Garth comes into Humphrey’s den and asks, “Hey Humphrey, have you seen Lilly anywhere?”
“No, have you seen Kate anywhere?” said Humphrey.
“I did not see her.  They might have run away, but why…”
“I don’t think they wanted to run away.  They might have been captured by humans, but why them.”
“I have a plan though and I need your help, but we must act fast.”
“Okay, what is it?”
“I have heard of this one wolf that made it out alive in one of these situations.  I do not know how he made it out, but I do know where he lives.”
“Where did you hear this from and where does he live?”
“The wolves howl messages and stories at each other and he lives south of the Rocky Mountains.”
“Okay, hold on a sec.  I need to send them a message before we go.”
“Okay.”  Humphrey and Garth climbed up to the top of howling rock.  There, we see and hear Humphrey howl a message to the south of the Rocky Mountains.  “Okay,” said Humphrey, “let’s go.”
The two wolves dashed their way towards south of the Rocky Mountains.
          Meanwhile, two wolves sat on the top of the mountains and one of them received Humphrey’s message.  “I had just received a message from Jasper Park,” said the first wolf.  “What is the message about?” said the second wolf.
“Two wolves had been captured and the two other wolves are trying to find them.”
“I thought this was over after they tried to find you.”
“But I guess not.  This madness has to stop!”

Chapter 3:
          “Uhhh…” groaned Kate, “Huh?  Where am I?  And where’s Lilly?”  “I’m right here,” said Lilly, “Where are we?”  The two wolves were put in two metal cages.  The area that they are in is currently being surrounded by hard sheets of metal.  The place is nearly sealed up and there are empty cages.  “Wait a minute…” said Kate, “What’s that mumbling sound?”  Both of the girls remained silent for quite a while and heard human voices.  “Heh, catching wolves now-a-days are easy,” said the first man.  “You bet,” said the second man, “Once when we sell these wolves onto the black market, we’ll be rich!”
“‘Sell us’?” said Lilly anxiously, “What do they mean by ‘selling us’?”
“I don’t know…” said Kate.
“We also captured the park rangers easily!” said the first man.
“Who are these crazy people?” Kate thought, “Oh, Humphrey, I wish you were here now to save us.”  Then, a tear came out of Kate’s eyes and soon, she started to cry.  “I just wish..that…someone here will save us,” Kate said as she continued crying.  “Don’t worry, Kate, I believe someone will save us, I guarantee it,” said Lilly.  “Thanks, Lilly, you’re the best,” said Kate as she slowly stops crying.
          Two days had passed since Garth and Humphrey left Jasper Park.  They arrived at the southern part of the Rocky Mountains in Canada.  They both see two other wolves on the mountain keeping watch.  “Hey Humphrey, do you think those two wolves are the ones that can help us?” said Garth.  “I think so, let me howl to them just in case,” said Humphrey.  Humphrey howled at the two wolves and the two wolves recognize Humphrey’s voice.  “Are you two the ones that ask us for your help?” said the first wolf.  “Yes,” said Garth.
“And if I can recall, one you howled us a message saying that both of your loved ones are gone, is that true?”
“Yes.”
“Very well then, let me introduce myself first.  I am John, and the other wolf you see here is Sam.”  “How can you guys help us?” said Humphrey.  “That is simple,” said Sam, “I had been in one of your situations.”  “Really?” said Humphrey in an odd manner.  “Yes, let me explain,” said Sam, “I was captured by poachers, along with my friend, Amy.  Both of us were locked up in cages and we were about to get sold.  We managed to escape, but as we made a run for it through the dense woods…” He then sighed.  “What?  What happened next?” said Humphrey.  “Well,” said Sam, “She got shot in the chest.  One of the poachers managed to shoot her.  She told me to run, but I could not let her stay behind.  She then told me that I need to live on and that she will be okay.  I could not leave her behind, but then, with the last bit of energy left in her, she pushed me into the river behind us.  That was the last time I had ever saw her.  I nearly drowned from the currents of the waves, but then, John came in and saved me.  He helped me recover for almost a year now.  All that I ever want to do is to get my revenge on them, but I can’t seem to get to them.  For one reason, I can’t tell where they keep going.  But now since you guys are here, maybe we both can help each other.”
“Okay,” said Humphrey, “Where do these ‘poachers’ hide usually?”
“They usually hide in the office cabins in any national park they go to, but so far, I can’t seem to find them, no matter how hard I look,” said Sam, “But it’s worth a try.”
“Alright, my turn,” said Garth, “Why did most of the caribou disappear?”  “Basically,” said John, “The poachers will drive most of the caribou away to another location, which often leaves the alpha wolf curious.  Most of the time, alpha wolves do some investigation.  They then leave a strong, foreign scent for the alpha wolf to follow.  At that time, the poachers will tranquilize the alpha wolf and take them to their secret location, where they can sell them for money.”  “Why capture wolves and sell them to people and why don’t they attack us during the day?” said Humphrey anxiously.
“Poachers will always spy on every type of wolf in a wolf pack, until they found the perfect wolf.  Their mission is to find a wolf that is agile, quick, and can do all sorts of tricks, like flips,” said Sam.
“Why didn’t we hear about this?”
“We thought that the worst was over around the world, until you gave that distress howl.  That is when we know, they have not given up yet.”
“Why can’t your pack overpower the poachers?”
“The poachers have special weaponry that can kill a whole pack in minutes, if they are self-aware of their surroundings.  It is too risky to attack them with weapons.
“What happened to the wolves in my pack?  They’re not very swift and they are not an alpha.  They are just in between,” said Humphrey.
“The poachers must have made a mistake and sent them to another part of the world.  Hopefully, they’re not omegas,” Sam said.
“One more question before we go,” said Garth, “What happens if the wolves are omegas?”
“If the poachers find out that the wolf that they caught is not an alpha wolf, they will be gone because most omegas know how to get out of tight situations like that.  That’s why they don’t spare the omegas because they can trick them and foil all their plans.”
“No….no!” yelled Garth, “We have to get back to Jasper now!  Lilly is gone and she’s an omega!”
“It will take us about two days to get to Jasper.  We must hurry because the poachers will surely sell them to other people,” said Sam.

Chapter 4:
          Back in Jasper Park, the pack is searching for Kate, Lilly, Garth, and Humphrey.  “Where are those four wolves?” said Winston anxiously, “How can they expect to let the parents take over for a little bit to lead the pack?  They had broken pack law again!”  Eve then came out of the den and told Winston, “Well, you and Tony both broke pack law as well too.  You let the alphas and the omegas marry each other.”  “Very funny, sweet heart,” said Winston.
          Back at the southern part of the Rocky Mountains, Humphrey suggested something.
“Hey guys, wait just a second here, I need to send a message to Jasper Park,” said Humphrey.
“Why?” said Sam.
“If we get into a tight situation, I can howl a signal to the pack for help.  Besides, they need to know the plan as well.”
“Alright then…”  Humphrey and Garth made a long howl to Japer Park.
          Back at Jasper Park, Tony came over to Winston’s den.  “Winston!  I have got some great news!” said Tony.  “What is it Tony, what?” said Winston.
“I received a howl, sent by Humphrey and Garth!  They plan to rescue Kate and Lilly!  They told me to tell you that the pack needs to get prepared for the worst…Oww!…It’s that same, darn disc in my back!”  Winston then pounded the back of Tony’s spine.  “Thanks,” said Tony.  “Any time, alright, let’s get to work.  We need to put our alphas on alert for any sign of howling messages,” said Winston.
          Two days had passed since Humphrey and Garth met John and Sam.
“So, how much longer till we reach Jasper, Mr. Barf?” said Humphrey in a cherish mood.
“It’s Garth.  Humphrey, I thought we both agreed to stop calling me that,” said Garth, angrily.
“Take it easy, Garth, I was just joking.”
“You better not call me that again…”
“Heh, heh, heh… It looks like I know what type of nick-name a wolf needs here now,” said Sam.
“Uh,” said Garth in an unconfident voice.  He thinks to himself, “Jeez, Humphrey, you just had to start that conversation about you calling me ‘Mr. Barf’, ever since we first met at Howling Rock…”  Humphrey then starts whining.
“Hang on a second guys.  Wait here a moment,” said Humphrey in a very uncomfortable voice.
“What’s wrong with you?” said Sam.
“I have to go!”
“We can’t afford to waste more time!”
Humphrey thinks to himself, “Oh great, I have a huge feeling this will be like when Kate suggests me what to do last year.”
“We need to continue forward,” said John.
“At-te-te-te-te!  Just give me a second, I’ll make it fast,” said Humphrey.
“Oh please, can we just go?  I’m starting to worry about Lilly.  I really miss Lilly playing as a turtle,” said Garth.
“I’ll be done in ten seconds!”
“Oh fine,” said Garth.
Humphrey then was done and soon they see the office cabin.

Chapter 5:
          The four wolves snuck into the cabin.  “Kate!  Lilly!  Where are you?” yelled Garth.
“Garth, be careful, because you might wake up the poachers,” said John quietly.
“Oh, okay,” said Garth softly.  The four wolves searched everywhere in the room, but found nothing.  “There’s nothing here!” cried Sam.  “Where could they be?” Humphrey thought.  Frustrated, he banged his head on the wall.  All of a sudden, the wall opened up revealing a secret passage way.  What Humphrey touched was a button that is practically invisible.  “Alright, let’s go,” said Sam.  “Who goes there?” said one of the poachers.  Everyone gasped at that moment.  “Everyone, hide!” cried Humphrey.  They all hid under four desks.  “Please, please don’t capture us, not now…” Humphrey thought.  “Help!” yelled John!  The three other wolves peeked a little bit at the poachers when they have their full attention on John.  “Yeah, come on, you’re coming with us!” said one of the poachers.  They left the cabin and the coast was clear.  “He’s gone I’m afraid…” said Sam, “There’s no way we can save him now.”  “No, there has to be way!” yelled Garth.
“I already told you.  They are armed with dangerous weapons.  They even have rifles!” cried Sam.  “You mean one of those long silver tubes that make a loud noise?” said Humphrey.  “Yeah,” said Sam, “Come on, let’s go!”  The wolves ran their way downstairs and found a room full of metal cages stacked.  “Where could they be?” Humphrey thought.  “Oh my gosh!  Someone is here!” Kate thought.  “Who’s there?” she yelled.  “Kate?” said Humphrey excitedly, “Is that really you?”  “Humphrey?” she said full of joy.  “Kate!” yelled Humphrey as he ran towards Kate’s cage.  “Humphrey!” Kate said as her eyes filled joy of tears, “I thought I would never see you again!”
“Yeah me too.  Come on, let me get you out of that cage.”  Humphrey looked all over the cage and he gets puzzled.  “This cage appears to be wolf-proof!” said Humphrey.  “Look,” said Sam.  He moved the lock to the right and made the door open.  “Oh, okay, um thanks, I guess I’ll do that to Lilly’s cage,” said Humphrey.
“I’ll do it Humphrey,” said Garth in a very polite mood.
“Okay,” said Humphrey.
“Who are you?” said Kate.
“My name is Sam.  I am here to help,” said Sam.
“Why did you help me?”
“I came not just to rescue you, but to get my revenge on these poachers.”
“Poachers?”
“Uh, Kate?” said Humphrey, “Let me explain this easily, he was in the same type of situation before.  He lost his friend and wants to avenge her death by getting these poachers.”
“Lilly!” yelled Garth.
“Garth?  Is that you?  It is you!” shouted Lilly.
“Let me get you out of the cage,” said Garth.
“Okay,” said Lilly.  Garth then opened the cage and nuzzled Lilly’s cheek.  Humphrey did the same to Kate.  “Okay you guys, you guys can go, I’ll find the poachers myself,” said Sam.  “We won’t leave you, Sam,” said Garth.  “What’s all the ruckus in here?” said a poacher.  “Uh oh,” thought Humphrey.  “Okay, now we’re in trouble,” Kate thought.
“How?” said Sam, “How can they have-”
“-found you guys?  Heh, heh, heh,” said John.
“JOHN?” all the wolves exclaimed.
“Alright boys,” said another poacher, “Let’s put them in a corner.”  All three poachers took out their rifles and pointed it at the wolves.  Just as Humphrey, Kate, Garth, Lilly, and Sam are backing away, Sam started questioning John.
“But why, John” said Sam, “Why did you do this?”
“Allow me to explain, when you fell into the river, I was sent by the poachers to find you.  They instructed me to take care of you for a year, and then take you back,” said John.
“But why did you wait one year?” said Kate.
“The poachers wanted to see if I can catch anymore wolves, which I just did right now,” said John.
“You won’t get away with this!” yelled Sam.
“Shut up, you stupid wolves!” said one of the poachers.
“Yes I will,” said John.  When the wolves approached a corner, Sam then hopped behind the boxes and pushed a metal cage toward the poachers from five feet in the air.  The poachers and John moved away from the wolves, thus giving their escape to freedom.
“Oh no you don’t!” yelled John.  He then chased the four wolves, but Sam pounced on top of John.  “GO, NOW YOU GUYS!” yelled Sam as he fights John, “Save the park owners!  The can help you!  GO!”  “Okay, Sam, we will,” said Lilly.  The poachers are trapped under the pile of cages.  “Darn, wolves, they are so tricky these days!” said one of the poachers.  “Guys,” said Kate, “Lilly, you find the park rangers and free them, Garth, come with me, we’ll get help, and you help Lilly out, Humphrey.” “Actually, I’m going to help Sam,” said Garth, “He’s in trouble and he led Humphrey and me this far to find you and Lilly.”  “Alright then,” said Kate, “Go, and help Sam.  Good luck.”  She gives Garth a wink, which means good luck.  “Humphrey, come with me,” said Kate, “We can make it back to Jasper Park in about ten minutes.”
“Kate,” said Humphrey.
“What is it Humphrey?  You want to help Sam too?”
“Actually, I want to help you out.  I already sent a message to the pack.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“I told you we make a pretty good team.”  She then gives a wink and a nuzzle to Humphrey’s nose.
“Thanks, now let’s go!” said Humphrey.  The two wolves went outside of the cabin.  Humphrey howled a message to his pack.

Chapter 6:
          Back at the pack, Winston receives Humphrey’s howl.  Winston then brings the pack together.  He then tells everyone that they need to get to Humphrey’s location.  Meanwhile, back at the cabin, Sam gets knocked down by John and is now unconscious.
“I’ve got you now!” yelled John.  He approaches Sam, but just before he can finish him off, Garth comes in and knocks John down to the ground.
“Watch it, Garth!” yelled John, “This fight is between just Sam and me!”
“He’s not alone, you know,” Garth said, “I’ll take you on!”  Meanwhile, Kate and Humphrey meets Lilly opening cells where the park rangers are.  “We’ve got to get out of here!” yelled one of the park rangers.  Soon, all the park rangers are free and running.  One of them, while running, took out a phone and started calling the police.  The poachers were still stuck in the wreckage of cages.  “Get back here, you stupid wolves!” yelled one of the poachers.  Kate then approached that one person.  She made eye contact on that person and starts to growl.  “O-o-o-o-ka-ka-ka-y-y-y, girl, ea-s-s-s-y-y-y g-g-g-i-r-rl!” said the poacher in a scared voice.  The three wolves ran downstairs.  “Garth!” said Kate, “We need to get out of here!”
“Okay!” yelled Garth in a frustrating voice, “Hold on a second.”  He then pushed John into a corner and traps him by knocking down a stack of cages in front of him.  “Hey!” yelled John, “Let me out of here!”
“Okay, let’s go!” said Humphrey.  Garth then wakes Sam up and the five wolves starts to run through the dense forest.  “Hey, stop!  Get back here!” yelled one of the three poachers.  One of them had a rifle and starts to fire at the wolves.
“Gun fire!” yelled Sam, “Everyone!  We need run faster!”  Everyone started running left, right, and up.  “I’ve got you now!” said a poacher when he locks his target on Kate.  He then pulls the trigger.  “Agh!” yelled Kate.  She fell to the ground and starts to roll.  “Kate!” yelled Humphrey in a shocking voice.  She was shot in the left hind leg.  Humphrey starts to run toward Kate.  At that time, she was whimpering and crying.  Luckily, her wound was at the side of her leg, but it still kept her from getting up.  Humphrey then stands in front of Kate, defending her from the poachers.  The poachers arrive and stand in front of Humphrey face to face.  “Get out of the way, you stupid wolf,” said one of the poachers in a mean voice.  Humphrey would not budge, so the poacher with the rifle aimed is gun towards Humphrey.  “Goodbye, Kate, I guess this will be the last time I’ll ever see you,” Humphrey thought.  He licks her cheek and then stares at the poachers.  “Goodbye,” said the poacher.
“No!” yelled Lilly.
“Humphrey, get out of the way!” yelled Garth, but Humphrey would not budge.  The man with rifle pulled the trigger.  It left some white smoke.  “Heh, heh!  He’s a goner!” said the poacher with the rifle.  But as the smoke nearly clears up, Humphrey was fine.  “Huh?  How am I alive?” said Humphrey.  He looked at Kate and she was fine as well, except for her left, hind leg.  When the smoke is completely gone, everyone gasped.  “No…no…” said Humphrey, “He shouldn’t have done this.”  It turns out, before the man pulled the trigger, Sam, went into the crossfire and there, he took the bullet instead.  Sam lays there whimpering and panting for air.  He was shot at the waist.  “This time, you’re not getting away from this shot!” said the poacher with the rifle, “Say your prayers!”  He reloaded his rifle, but before he can shoot again, all three poachers heard a growling sound.  It was coming right behind them.  All of a sudden a huge roar broke through the air.  The pack had finally come to help them.  The pack pounced onto their backs, but they managed to escape.  As the poachers are running, Winston and Eve come in to see Kate.  “Humphrey, where’s Kate?” asked Winston.  Humphrey sighed and he moved out of the way to show Kate.  “Dad…” moaned Kate.  “My alpha girl!” screamed Eve.  “I did everything to protect her, I’m sorry,” said Humphrey.  Soon they heard police sirens.
          “The police are here!” said one of the poachers, “Hey!  Officers!  We’re glad you’re here, now please-”  “Get down on the ground now with your heads face down!” yelled one of the police officers holding a gun.  “Are these the people that held you captive, sir?” asked the Chief of police.  “Yes, thank you,” said the park owner.  The police officers immediately arrest the poachers.  Back at the site where Kate lies in pain, John comes in to finish off the job.  “Now I’ve got you where I want you!” said John.  But then the pack started to growl at him and started to surround him.  “Take him away!” said Tony.  Soon, the park rangers come into the scene.  “Humphrey…those park rangers are going to take us away again,” moaned Kate.  But then, the park rangers knelt down and started to pet them both.  “Actually, Kate,” Humphrey said, I think they’re here to thank us.”  The park rangers then called some veterinarian to come and help the wolves out.  During that time, Sam said his last words to Kate, Humphrey, Garth, and Lilly.  “Goodbye, my friends.  After a year of despair, I finally get to be with my girl friend, Amy,” said Sam, whimpering, moaning, and crying at the same time.  He then closed his eyes and then he was still.  “He sacrificed his life for us,” Humphrey said.  “Humphrey,” Kate said, “come here please.”  Kate then gave Humphrey a nice big hug and whispered in his ear, “Thank you for protecting me.  Humphrey then whispered back, “I will always protect you for my life.”  They then nuzzled each other’s noses.  Soon, the park rangers came with the veterinarians.  The veterinarians then took Humphrey, Kate, Lilly, Garth, and Sam to the nearest veterinarian hospital.

Chapter 7:
          Two weeks later, Kate, Humphrey, Garth, and Lilly are released back to Jasper Park in full health.  As they arrived to their dens, Hutch comes in to inform them something.  “Guys, I have some really bad news,” said Hutch.  “What is it?” Kate said.
“It’s Winston and Tony, they are very weak now,” Hutch said.
“Where are they now?” Garth asked.
“They are in Kate’s den,” Hutch said.
“Come on, let’s go!” said Kate.
When they arrived, they noticed that the whole pack is in deep silence.  They surrounded the den.  When Kate saw her mother, she was in tears, crying for Winston.  “Dad, it’s me, Kate,” said Kate.  “Dad, it’s me, Lilly, Kate’s younger sister,” Lilly said.  Winston gave a small chuckle, but then started coughing, badly.  “Dad…” Garth said in total shock.  “What happened?” Humphrey asked.
“The veterinarians took Winston and Tony in because they fell to the ground for no apparent reason,” Eve said, sobbing, “I waited for them to come back, which they did, but they both told me that they caught a strange disease called leukemia.  I don’t what it is, but they cannot fix them both.”  Everyone was in shock.  “But…he can’t go, he just can’t!” exclaimed Lilly, “That’s my father!”  She started to cry.  “Lilly…” Kate said softly.  “This reminds me of my parents…” said Humphrey, “I don’t know what happened to them, but they left.  Why must this happen right now?”  “Kate, Lilly, come over here,” said Winston groaning, “both of you must lead the pack without me.  You must keep order to the pack.”  “He’s right,” moaned Tony, “the four of you must lead this pack and keep them in order.”  Both Winston and Tony grunted and stayed still.  “Dad?” cried Kate.  She licked his cheek, but gave no response.  “No…” Kate said softly.  She then howled a requiem for her father and for Tony.  Then Lilly followed and then Humphrey.  Soon, the whole pack howled for Winston and Tony.

Chapter 8:
          A year later, Humphrey headed back to the den after a successful hunt.  “Hey Humphrey!  I have got some news from Kate!” said Salty.  “What is it?” said Humphrey as he pulls the caribou up the hill.  “Kate has a new baby pup!” Salty exclaimed, “You sure are a lucky, sly dog!”  Humphrey then was in shock and started running towards Kate’s den.  “Hmm… I guess I can take this caribou back to my den,” Salty thought.  “Oh and Salty, don’t even think about touching that caribou,” Humphrey said.  Soon, Humphrey arrives at Kate’s den.  He sees Kate in a lying position.  “Hey beautiful!” said Humphrey.  “Shh…” said Kate, “You’ll wake up our new pup.”
“Shall we head north and repopulate?” said Humphrey in a funny matter.
“Humphrey!” said Kate in a soft voice, “You know what my father wants us to do.  Keep the packs united.”
“I’m just joking, I know that.”  He then nuzzles Kate’s cheek.
“You’re my funny omega,” said Kate.
“Anyways, Kate, is our pup a boy or a girl?” said Humphrey excitingly.
“It’s a boy.”
“He’s beautiful.  What should we name him?”
“How about Humphrey Jr.?”
“Very funny Kate.”
“Just kidding, how about ‘Zuki’?”
“Yeah, that’s a perfect name!”  Just then, Zuki woke up from his sleep.
“Let’s check out Lilly and Garth,” said Humphrey.  Kate placed Zuki on Humphrey’s back and walked their way towards Lilly’s den.
“Hey guys, what’s up!” said Humphrey.
“Ah, hello, Humphrey, you’re just in time to see our two new cubs,” said Garth.
“Their names are Sam and Sable,” said Lilly, while giggling when the cubs snuggled themselves to sleep.
“Hey little Zuki!” said Humphrey in a childish voice, “There’s your cousins!”  Of course, Zuki cannot see because he was just born.

Chapter 9:
          Months had passed and we see Humphrey playing with Zuki.  For some reason, Zuki has swift skills, like Kate’s, but he loves to goof around and play a lot.  It was winter again at this time of year.  Zuki made a snowball and threw it at Humphrey.
“Oof!  Zuki!” exclaimed Humphrey.
“You can’t get me!” yelled Zuki.  He then hid from Humphrey in the bushes.
“Alright, Zuki where are you?” said Humphrey.
“Surprise!” yelled Zuki.  He did a flip in the air and bit Humphrey’s tail.
“Owww!  My tail, my tail!” yelled Humphrey.
“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” said Kate.
“Mommy!” exclaimed Zuki, and he lets go of Humphrey’s tail.
“Hello there, sweetie.  Hi Humphrey, how’s our little baby?” said Kate.
“Great.  He has swift reflexes like yours and a funny sense of humor like mine,” said Humphrey.
“You know, someday, he’s going to be the leader of the pack.”
“Yeah I know.  Hey Zuki, your cousins are over there!  Why don’t you go and play with them?”
“Okay, daddy!” said Zuki.
“Soon, his adventure will start.”
“Yeah, I know, can I have a nuzzle?
“Here,” said Kate and both of them gave each other a nuzzle.  Kate whispered in Humphrey’s ear, “I love you sweetie.  I will never abandon you.”
Humphrey then whispered back, “Thank you, Kate, you will always be the alpha and Kate that I know.”  The new adventure has just begun.

The End
