The Omega's departure
A few hours ago had taken place Kate s and Garth s wedding. Finally the two clans were united, but things were not the same.
Lily is awake in the den, her parents are asleep a few feet from her, usually she used to sleep with Kate, but now she's with Garth in his own den in the valley.
Lily gets up and quietly she gets out of the den, she looks the sky illuminated by stars. A tear runs down on her right cheek when she thinks about Garth and the wedding; she could not believe that her parents had arranged the marriage of her sister.
The news had hit her hard, but she could not do anything about it. Humphrey had left the pack one day ago, now he is a lone wolf. Lily heard the whistle of an approaching train; the train passes every day at the same hour by the park.
She was afraid the train when she was a puppy, but now knows that maybe it is her only way to forget everything. She leaves the den and walks down to valley; she looks back and walks away toward the part that previously belonged to the eastern pack.
Lily jumps and across the creek that divided the borders of both packs; she walks into in this strange place. The shadows of the night does that the place looks sinister, but Lily continues as she heads toward the train tracks.
Lily crosses the whole territory of the unified pack; she stops short of taking the final step that would take her beyond everything he knew in her life, Jasper was the only place she knew.
Now she is about to go into the unknown.
"Lily stop right there" says a voice coming from behind her. Lily turns her head to see her mother and father, they get close her.
"What do you think are you doing?" Eve asks angrily.
Cross the border was completely forbidden for wolves of the pack, so is a serious offense that is punishable by the laws.
"I follow in the footsteps of Humphrey. Lily says as while a new beep announces that the train is approaching.
"That s stupid; you do not know where he went." Winston said completely surprised and confused by the attitude of his daughter.
I did not say that I will go after him; I ll find my own way." Lily said looking at her parents. They open their eyes in surprise.
"No you cannot, you re a ... omega ... maybe one alpha!" Eve says looking at his daughter with dismay.
"Eve..." Winston says looking at his mate; he notices that Lily looks angrily at her mother.
"Omega, is that what I am? One useless and disposable omega" Lily asks staring angrily Eve, she steps back feeling surprised by the outburst of anger of Lily. Eve had never seen her daughter act this way.
No Lily, do not do it, I order you to go back to the den to continue this there." Winston said watching as her daughter turns around to take the final step that would lead her outside the territory of the clan.
Lily defiantly leaps forward.
"Now your laws and orders and cannot reach me here." Lily says as she begins to walk while the train is drawing near. She hears her parents still call her; she starts to run in parallel with the railway line.
Winston and Eve chase her, but despite being an omega, she is faster for her youth. Lily sees an open wagon and jumps while their parents give a scream of terror when her daughter is hanging from the edge of the door open.
Lily clings with all his strength to the wooden floor. With much effort she finally gets inside the wagon.
Lily breathes hardly feeling that the wagon is moving, she approaches the door and looks outside.
She can no longer see her parents; Lily just sees a sign indicating: you are leaving Jasper . Lily sits back and sighs knowing that her journey was only beginning.
The next morning Kate and Garth are gathered with all members of the unified clan. They are sitting in front while everyone else is behind them, Kate did not know why her parents had called this meeting.
Kate looks over her shoulder at the rest of the pack. She does not see Humphrey anywhere, she expected to see him soon, and maybe he was asleep. At that time Winston and Eve climb a rock to talk to the pack.
"We call this meeting to let them know a fact that you will notice in the next days, but we prefer tell you the truth before generating speculation" Winston says watching his pack, but especially her daughter.
"Two of our omegas have left the clan, everyone knows to Humphrey Winston says watching at the pack.
Kate feels great pain inside her; she quickly wipes a tear formed in her right eye while she is listening that some wolves whisper.
She had hoped that Humphrey had changed his decision and only he wanted to be alone for now. But the next words of her father beat her even harder and especially Garth.
Lily has also left us." Winston said with pain in her heart. Kate is surprised just like Garth. More murmurs and expressions of surprise are heard in the pack.
She left on the train last night, we tried to stop her, but we could not" Eve says as he tries to show strength to the members of her clan. Kate is hurt, but Garth is devastated.
"It's my fault... my fault... Why was not strong enough to oppose this wedding? Garth thinks inside himself knowing that Lily had left the pack because of him, he loved her.
"We will look for them." Kate says looking at her parents.
"I just need three alphas willing to ..." Kate said before his father silenced her with the movement of his paw.
"No member of the pack will go look for them." Winston says firmly. He wanted to send a patrol to bring her daughter back, but it was impossible.
But dad... Kate says looking at Winston; he is looking at her with hardness and anger.
Kate, when they left, they renounced at the pack, now their fate is only in their paws" Eve says looking at her daughter.
Kate wants to contradict her mother and form a search party because he wants to bring his sister back and also bring back to Humphrey too, but she bites her lips to say nothing.
Kate knows that it would not be welcomed the act of contradict at the pack s leaders. Garth wants to look for Lily, but his father would not allow it under any circumstances.
That was it; now back to your duties." Tony says looking the wolves. All the wolves begin to disperse as rumors about the why the departure of both omegas.
