It has been a month and a half since I and Kate had become the new pack leaders. Winston and Eve had stepped down do to being old, so they handed us the head alpha spots. And these months have been some of the best in my life. But also at the same time they were hard for me. It has been great to lead the pack. But it has also been quite difficult leading all the rules and being in the right at the right time. Luckily I had Kate there to help me. She had been preparing to do this her whole life.

But with all this time spent with our new responsibilities, we haven't been able to spend as much time with our pups which sucked. Luckily they had David and them there. Plus Garth and Lily acutely started coming down and spending time with their nieces and nephews. They saw it as a chance for them to practice at being parents since Lilly was pregnant. And she was due in about three weeks now. Also Nikolai got better and joined the pack. So he now comes by to see Max every once and awhile.

The pups have been doing very well, even with Kate and I gone so much. We didn't like being gone so much and neither did they. But they understood why we had to be gone, just responsibility. They are amazing pups and have grown so much. We have started to see were they get there personalities from. Dakota got his personalities right from his mother. He was responsible, courages, smart just exactly like her. Katie takes after me, well the old me being the fun loving omega. Hannah is just like a half and half version of Kate and I. And Dakota, our special pup Dakota. He has my exact personality of me now. He is brave, courages, noble, but he also likes to have fun by pulling practical jokes on other wolves. That's one of the things he is known for is being the jokester of the pack. There haven't been a single wolf he hasn't pulled a prank on. He's even done some on me and Kate. Much to my amusement, but not much to Kate's. And Max, Max is the shy one. He doesn't really like talking to anyone and doesn't do much with my other pups. My pups do accept him and try to get him to do things with him but its other pups who put him down. Making fun of him because he's adopted. though the pups don't know why he is adopted if they did they probably wouldn't. But that is up to Max to telling them. They don't even really know about his past. They just know he randomly just showed up out of the blue and was a member of the pack.

Alpha school starts soon and I am suppose to be one of the main wolves to teach it. Dakota and Hannah will definitely be going as they would make the perfect alphas. Katie will definitely be an omega. As for Dakota and Max I couldn't tell you what they would become. Dakota is strong and is capable of being an alpha, but he likes to just have fun most of the time. And Max also has the potential I just don't know if he would want to. But I had been recently thinking of something else.

Recently patrols have been picking up unfamiliar scents around the pack. And not just once but many time signifying that someone has been scouting us. My guess would be that it is Alex's wolves. And I don't want any of my pups to get hurt knowing he would use them to get to me. And Alex is a strong and smart wolf, alpha training would not help them in any way. And there are only four wolves who I know who can actually take him on. Those wolves are David, Andy, Smitty, and me. And none of us had alpha training. We had more of a lone wolf training. Which was survive or die. And you have to do a lot of things to stay alive out there on your own. That's why I think it would be good to put them all through that training and then let them decide what rank they want. Whether it be Alpha or Omega, I wouldn't care. Just as long as they were happy. Yep, that was my plan and I intend to stick to it.

Right now I was just outside of my den. My new den which was the head alphas den. I was sitting on the edge looking out over the pack. It was just before sunrise so it was still dark out. There was a light breeze blowing through the air. The fall season was just hitting making the days cooler. The sun was just starting to rise making rays of light shine across the forest. I took in a deep breath taking in all the scents of the forest. I sighed in pleasure. I was lost in a trance and I didn't hear someone coming up from behind me. "Your up early." I heard a sweet voice from behind me say. I smiled and looked back. "Hello beautiful." "Hey handsome." said said coming up to me and nuzzling me. "what are you doing up so early?" She asked. "Just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so I decided to come watch the sunrise." I told her. She nodded.

She looked up at me and noticed something. "Hey are you alright?" She asked. "I just can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. Last time I got this feeling out pups were attacked and Blaze got hurt." I told her worried. She kissed me,"Don't worry, well be careful today. We can put the alphas on high alert if you would like." She told me. "I would like that." I told her smiling. But still something inside me told me that wouldn't be enough.

Kate and I sat on the ledge watching the sunrise. We stayed there for about fifteen minutes until she spoke up. "We need to go do our job." She whispered to me. I sighed,"But this moment was so perfect." I complained. She giggled,"Tell you what, you do good today and I'll send the pups over to Lilly's and I'll give you a reward." she said seductivly. My tail started to wag even more. "Now that I would really like." Just then I heard someone from behind us clear their throat. I turned around to see the seconded in command, Hutch. "Oh, Hutch. How long have you been there?" I asked nervously. He smiled,"Long enough." Kate and I blushed.

"Anyway," Hutch started,"I just came by to report on something you should find rather interesting." "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well, it's the tracks and scents of those wolves. We haven't seen or scented anything of them. They just disappeared. But in my experience that means they will attack soon." He told us. I got really siriouse then and there. 'I had a feeling today was going to be a bad day' I thought to myself. "Put all alphas on high alert. And get ready to evacuate all to the safe zone if necessary." I told him. He nodded and left.

I sighed and looked at Kate,"And life was just getting easy." "Life is never easy." Kate said. "This is all to true." I said. Just then I heard someone walking up behind me. I looked over and saw Winston and Eve coming up the slope. They had smiles on their faces,"Hello you two, how's it going?" Winston asked. I sighed,"Not so well. There could be an attack any day now from Alex." They gasped,"How can you be sure?" Eve asked. "Well for the past couple weeks patrols have been finding traces of unknown wolves, and now all of a sudden they stop. That's a sighn fin an attack if you ask me." I told them. They looked down and shook their heads,"And we have been so peaceful." Winston said. We then all stood their for awhile in an awkward silence.

After a few minutes we finally heard some noise, but it was coming from the den. We looked over to see Blaze coming out of the den,"Goooood morning family!" He said with a smile. "Why so happy?" I asked him. He shrugged "No reason." "Where's the rest?" Kate asked. "I saw them just getting up, they should be joining us shortly." We nodded. And as if on cue we heard more sounds of claws tapping on rocks. Then from out of the den came our other four pups. "Good morning you four." I said. "Morning." They all mummbbled tiredly.

When Everyone was here that thought of mine appeared to me again. I walked over to the ledge and looked down. There, there were my three great friends. David and the other two had stated directly down there since I moved into the head alphas den. We worried for them since they weren't actually in a den and they were just outside and we even offered them to stay in our den. But they said that they were fine. They said that the lone wf life made them adapt to the conditions on sleeping outside. I called down to them, They looked up at me,"What do you need?" David asked. I need you to come and meet me in my den." I told them. They nodded and started their way to me. I then started to walk into the den motioning everyone to follow me. They all gave me confused looks but did as I said.

Soon everyone was here. They were all wondering the same thing, why did I call them in here. "So I know your all wondering why I called you here. Well it concerns the pups." I said looking over at them. "I didn't do it!" Blaze said putting his paws up. "I didn't say you did anything, none of you are in trouble. It's more of a good thing than anything." I told them. "Oh." Blaze said laughing nervously. I looked over suspiciously. "Anyway, this is about training." I said. "You mean alpha training?" Dakota asked. "Sort of, it is kind of like alpha training." I told them. Everyone was looking at me skeptically except David, Andy, and Smitty who saw where I was going with this. "What are you getting at?" Winston questioned. "Well you see, the pups won't always be guarded. They will have times in their life's where they WILL be alone. Just as I was when sent away. I had no idea how to survive on my own and if it wasn't for those three I would be dead. It was them and their training who helped me survive. So what I am asking the pups since it is their choice is if they want to go through the training I went through?" I asked them. They all just sort of stared at me blankly. "And after training you can chose to be an alpha on an omega. But this is all up to you guys not me. And why I called the rest of you is because I need you three to help with the training and Winston and Eve, I know your retired but for one more year I need you to train the new alphas if the pups want to train like me." I said.

It was quiet for a while. "I think it's a great idea!" Blaze said excitedly. "Yah, it would be a good opportunity." Dakota agreed. "Plus I could still be an omega like I want to!" Katie said. "Count me in!" Hannah said. I smiled then looked over to Winston and Eve. They also had a smile on their faces,"Sure one more time won't hurt." Winston told me. I then looked over to David and them. "We'd be happy to train your pups." David said. I then looked over at Kate. "What?" She asked. "Your their mom, they need your permission too." I told her. She thought about it for a while wondering if she should let them do this.

"Yes you can." She finally said after awhile. I smiled, this was perfect. "Now kids remember, this is nothing like alpha school. This will push you to your limits we are not your family while we are training you. Over the period of time we train you, you will grow a hating for us like I did for David and the others when they trained me." I explained to them. They nodded, understanding what I was saying.

"Now that we have that all settled," But I didn't get to finish my sentence because Hutch came bursting in. "Sir, were under attack by Alex and his wolves." He called out to me. I imidiatly took action. "Get all alphas in attack formation. Get some omegas and have them take everyone to the safe zone. And take my pups there personaly. I trust that you can do that. " I told him. He nodded and took off followed by the pups after we hugged them and said goodbye. I then faced Andy,"Andy your the fastest one here, who talks, I need you to go to your pack and ask for your help. We won't be able to do this alone again." He nodded and took off. "David, I need you and Smitty to come with me and Kate to lead the defensive strike. And Winston and Eve I need you to go to the safe area. They need Alphas there just in case something happens." Everyone nodded their heads in Understandment. "Now lets move out!" I yelled as we took off.

I took Kate, Smitty, and David with me to go to the front defensive which was on the far north part of the pack. We sprinted the whole way there not stopping for anything. Soon we arrived at our destination. I stood I from of about twenty five, thirty alphas all ready to fight and protect the pack. across from us was Alex's army of about fourty alphas, but Alex was nowhere in sight. Then I started to see some of the wolves step out of the way makeing a path for someone. And when I saw who it was I was shocked. Everyone started to growl when they saw him, especially Kate. It was Jordan, the one who framed me for the murder of that family of wolves and forced me to become a lone wolf.

"Hello old friends!" He said. I growled,"What are you doing here?" I growled. "What does it look like. I'm leading this attack, I'm seconed in command for Alex now. You know how that feels right David." He said pointing over to him. "That was only to get my pack back. Wha. Alex does and did us sick and twisted." He spat. "Oh that's a matter of opinion." he said. "Where's Alex?" I yelled at him. "Oh he's off doing his own things, as for you you're going to have a pretty bad day." He smiled Evily. That made me uneasy. "Attack." He said nonchalantly. That's when the fight began, both sides charged at each other ready to taste the blood of their enemy's. My target though was the person who ruined my life. I spotted Jordan walking back to the end of his pack. Typical coward, getting others to do their dirty work. I started sprinting toward him. I ran into the group of wolves killing anyone in my way, I was going to get revenge.

I ran through every wolf who got in my way takeing their life's away if they got in my way. I broke out to the other side to see Jordan leaning on a tree cackling away evilly. But that all stopped when he looked my way and saw me. That's when he got an 'oh shit' expression on his face. He was about to get up and run but I was already their when he got up. I tackled him to the ground and snarled in his face. "N now Humphrey lets not do to anything we might regret." He said obviously scared. "Oh I'm going to do something and I sure will not regret it." I viciously said to him. "Oh come on, your not still mad about that while framing you thing are you?" He asked. I just growled louder. "Guess you are." He chuckled nervously. "But can you really kill me when your pups are in danger." He said evilly. My eyes widened. "What did you do with them?" I yelled at him. "Nothing. Yet." He said. This wolf was really making me mad. I raised my paw about to make the final fatal blow, when all of a sudden I heard a distress howl. And it was Hutchs. Hutch had my pups with him and Alex was nowhere in sight. My eyes widened as I knew what was happening. Jordan had a smile on his face. "Better go get them." He said. I waisted no time on getting off of him and running to where I heard the howl.

As I was running I was joined by some people. I was joined by Kate, David and Smitty. They must have figured out what was going on. We didn't say anything to eachothr, we knew what we had to do. We continued to run full speed towards where we heard the howl.

We soon appeared were we heard the howl, and what I saw made me seeth. On the ground knocked out was Hutch, and right in front of me was Alex and some of his wolves with my pups. "Alex, what do you want." I yelled at him. "I think it's quite clear what I want. Revenge. You made me look bad in front of my pack, you stopped my plans and you almost killed me." I looked down at my pups who were terrified. "What do you want with them?" I asked him. "Leverage, of course. I want you as a slave. Having you as a slave would make my other slaves lose hope which makes ten get back to work. And it would also toucher you. Not being able to see your pups grow up the ultimate punishment." He explained to us. He was pure evil I hated him and just wanted to rip him to shreds right here right now. But he has my pups.

"He'll never do what you say!" Kate yelled at him. Alex chuckled,"Then I guess I'll have to kill your pups." He said putting a claw up to Blazes neck. "No don't!" I yelled. He looked over at me. "Why?" He asked like he already knew the ansewr. "Because," I sighed,"I'll go with you." I said. "No, Humphrey you can't." Kate cried. "Kate it's me or the pups, Ive lived my life and a good one at that. But are pups had just barley begun their life's I can't let them take that away from them." I told her in tears just as she was. "But I don't want you to go." She said bringing me into a hug. I sighed,"I know, and that's why I have to do this." I said. "Restrain her." I told David and Smitty. They did as they were told. "Let me go." She yelled. "Good bye guys." I said walking over to Alex.

"Now let them go." I demanded. "I will, I may be evil but I always keep my promises." He said as he signaled for the pups to be released. The pups reluctantly went over to Kate. "Daddy please don't go." Blaze pleaded in tears. All of my pups were in tears not wanting to see me go. "Im sorry, but I have to. I love you all stay strong. David I still want you to teach the pups. And all of you please tell my family I love them." I said my eyes watering. "We will. We all love you." Kate said. "That's enough of that." Alex said. I looked up at him but all I saw was his paw coming at my face. Then nothing.

KATE'S POV

I sat and watched as Humphrey was taken and knocked out by that evil wolf Alex. Alex was smiling eviky to himself. He then lifted his head up and released a howl of retreat. He had got what he had came for and now he was leaving. My pups were all hugging me, while I was trying to comfort them the best I could. It's not an easy thing seeing your father getting taken away from you right in front of your eyes with nothing you could do. I saw that David had tears in his eyes, besides Andy and Smitty, Humphrey was his best friend. I looked over at Smitty and saw a lone tear escape his eye. That was shocking to see but everyone crys at some point in their life's.

I heard groaning and looked over to see Hutch slowly picking himself up. I had mixed emotions with him. I was furious with him because if he had just taken our pups and gotten to the safe place earlier none of this would of happened. But I can't get mad at him, he tried his hardest. I walked over to him,"Are you ok?" I asked him. He nodded his head,"What happened?" He questioned me. That's when he looked up at me and saw that I had been crying. "What happened, are your pups ok." He asked panicked. "Yes they're fine." I told him. "Then why have you been crying?" "They took Humphrey." I said just breaking down right there. I lied down and started to cry my heart out. I felt my pups snuggle up to me and cry into my fur.

This was unfair, we had a good life going. We had a family, a loving family. We had great friends and we were the leaders of the pack. Everything was great for us. But no, life is cruel and now Humphrey was taken away from me to be a slave to the most hated wolf in Jasper. I just wanted to stay right there and cry forever.

NOBODIES POV

As Kate was crying into the ground with her pups huddled around her doing the same thing the pack started to come back. It just so happened that were Humphrey was taken was the main living area. Wolves started reappearing back to where Kate was. When they arrived all they saw was there head Alpha crying with her pups with her. And they also saw Hutch crying and so was David, while Smitty just had a blank expression on his face.

Upon hearing their daughters crys, Winston and Eve came running up to her. "Kate, what's wrong?" They asked her. But Kate was crying to hard to ansewr. That's when they turned to Hutch who wasn't crying as hard. "Hutch, what's going on. What's wrong with Kate?" They asked him worried for their daughter. "They took him. He's gone." was all hd said. Winston was about to ask who but then it all added up. Kate and her pups crying and Humphrey no where to be seen. Humphrey had been taken. "How did this happen?" He asked Hutch. "I was taking the pups to the safe place when all of a sudden I was knocked out. Then I woke up and Humphrey was gone." He said.

Thats when Winston went over to David. "David, please explain what happened." he asked of him. David cleared his throat so he could talk,"We were fighting when we here a distress call which we knew was Hutchs. So we ran here. When we got here we found Hutch knocked out and the pups with Alex. So Humphrey traded himself for his pups. He's gone to be a slave for Alex." David explained to Winston. Winston was speechless. Humphrey did that for his family, he sacrificed himself for them. He was a very brave wolf.

The pack was confused. Why did the enemy call an unexpected retreat, why was the head alpha crying, and where was the head Alpha Humphrey. The pack needed answers and that's what Winston would give them. Winston howled for then to become silent. Once they were, Winston began to explain what was going on and what had happened. Once everyone had heard the news they were without words. Everyone was silent. That was until one wolf known as Kate lifted up her head and began to howl her hurting heart to the heavens. Soon another followed then another, then another. Then every wolf in the pack was howling for their leader hoping that he would be alright.

While Kate was howling she was thinking. Alex had ruined her life. She had tried to kill her pups twice and now she had taken her mate. She wanted revenge, and she would get it.

On the other side of Jasper though, there was no mourning. There was only celebration. Alex's pack was celebrating for taking down their main enemy, Humphrey. They had planned it for months and had finally accomplished their goals. Humphrey would be a slave to them forever and nothing could get in their way. They had come out victorious.

Or so they thought. Because there were five pups that were hell bent on revenge and they would do anything to get back there father, Anything.
