Days passed por as everything in and outside of the pack continued on like normal, Kate and Garth took care of their alpha duties and anything else important while Humphrey had grown into the habit of hunting every now and then. Nothing much was dicho between the two alpha lobos about their secret relationships and they continued to act as if they were mates. However they had to act a little harder because yesterday was the night of the moonlight howl, the first one since the night of their marriage.
It was decided between them both and the approval of Lilly that they could howl together for a bit just to keep the other pack mates from thinking things that could raise suspicions. It seemed that all they ever did now was switch in-between two lifestyles over and over again. When alone they could let their true self come out, but in the presence of others they became only pretenders, which has been the routine for weeks. Still they acted as if they were enjoying their lives and in reality they were, it just wasn't the type of reality everyone thought they saw.
At least now Kate didn't feel as bad about pretending anymore, now that she knew Garth was doing the same thing she didn't feel like she was hurting him por actuación to amor him. It made things easier and since they could openly talk to each other now Kate found things much less stressful. Finally the día they have both been waiting for has arrived, Kate had just finished her morning hunting run with her group of friends and was now waiting for Garth por the territory border.
Garth had the whole día off so the two of them decided that today was the best día to go out and see Humphrey, of course Kate was pretty anxious to go. She had never been away from Humphrey this long before and she was starting to really miss his presence around her, he always made her feel so special. Whether it be that he cared, respected, loved, and was always there for her o the fact that he treated her right, loving her for her personality and not just her looks. She began to pace back and forth hoping Garth would arrive soon so that they could go and see him, luckily after a few minutos she saw him in the distance.
She stood on the parte superior, arriba of the colina and watched as he climbed up to meet her "Ready to go?" She asked.
"Yeah let's get this mostrar on the road" he replied as they began to walk siguiente to each other.
"So how did today's hunt go?" He asked
"We had no luck, didn't see anything around even after we circled the whole valley." She replied
"Really? Well that's not the first time something like that has happened."
She nodded "I'm sure we'll all live without a kill for today, how is your día so far?"
"I mostly just relaxed in the den, it's been awhile since I've had a día off so figured it was best to take it easy."
"Totally, I'm sure we won't be doing much once we see Humphrey anyway, then again he's always doing something different to pass the time..."
Meanwhile a couple of miles away a familiar grey lobo had just finished taking a quick swim in a small pond to clean up his fur, which was starting to get a little too messy for his liking. For once the water was actually nice to be in considering the día had proven to be a little hotter than usual. The pond was a pretty beautiful place to visit, the water was always like glass and it was surrounded por a bunch of trees and flowers. He found himself coming here quite often whether it was for water o to just admire the view and think about things.
Things have been pretty quiet for the past two days since Jake had been busy doing his own things. Hunting was the new thing he liked to do, he enjoyed treating it as if it was a game and not something that his wellbeing depended on. So far he's brought down three animal's total which has been plenty of comida to sustain him as well as give some to Jake if he needed any. They may have been only small deer but for one lobo it was enough to last him a couple of days at the most. He looked adelante, hacia adelante to being the one able to provide for Kate in the future, she may be the alpha of the relationship but he still felt the need to be able to protect and take care of her.
Saying that he missed being able to see Kate everyday was an understatement, he felt like he was going crazy from the way his corazón desired her. What could he do though? He well understood that she no longer needed come and visit every couple of days and that it was best to start limiting the amount of times they saw each other in a week, but his corazón couldn't take it. He was tired of this whole situation they were in, it was time to end all of this and ensure their future happy and together, even if it lead to disaster.
His head was right on time to think about that because he began to hear voices as he approached his den, a smile quickly appeared on his face as his ears heard the heavenly voice of his love. She was talking to someone else which he assumed to be Jake but it turned out he was far from right when he walked inside the cave. He froze noticing that Garth was sitting right siguiente to Kate, he knew from the segundo he saw him that they must have been caught. However Kate didn't look upset, in fact she was smiling and looked like everything was normal. He looked at them both confused, waiting to hear what was going on.
"Don't tell me..." He began
"Humphrey it's not what tu think, Garth is actually on our side" Kate quickly replied, walking up and nuzzling him.
"He is?" He looked over at Garth who sat along the back wall, 'why would he be on our side?'
"Hey coyote, I see you've been doing quite well for yourself" Garth teased looking back at him as they came over to sit siguiente to him.
"Well how nice of tu to notice barf" Humphrey replied
"Alright tu two that's enough of the name calling, now sit down Humphrey." Kate giggled.
Humphrey did as he was told and listened to Kate explain why Garth was here, he learned that Garth and Lilly had been seeing each other as well. This was a total shock to him, never did he picture the two together, a proud alpha and a shy omega, they were total opposites. Then again he and Kate were the same thing and their amor hasn't died even after going through all of this. He began to feel a little relief knowing that there were now four lobos going through the same thing and not just two, much like how Kate felt. Now he understood why they were both here, and it was because the time to fix the struggle they had all been in for the past two months had arrived.
"...So we came because it's time to make a plan on how to fix all of this, and hopefully in a way that allows us to stay in Jasper." Kate finished with Garth nodding in approval.
Humphrey smiled "I'm glad that it's not just the two of us having to do this now, maybe it will be easier, but where do we start?"
"Well that's why we're here, to figure out and plan what course of action we should take." Garth said
"Then where's Lilly, shouldn't she be here as well?"
"She wanted to stay home, she knows we can all figure it out without her and that it's best if she stayed behind just in case."
Humphrey nodded "Oh okay"
There was a moment of silence before Kate spoke up "Best to not just sit here, come on let's all give out ideas and see where it takes us."
They all agreed and began to think of ideas, first of which being how to deliver the news in such a way that Winston, Tony, and Eve would all understand. Garth started off por saying he and Kate should call a meeting and slowly reveal that they want a divorce, however that would lead to them wanting to know reasons why. After all they did say their relationship with each other had been going well, other than a few bumps of course. Kate built off of his idea por saying all four of them should go to the meeting, that way everything would be dicho and done right then and there. They two guys seemed to like the idea but Humphrey knew the segundo he stepped paw into the guarida, den grounds he would be recognized almost immediately.
Last thing Kate and Garth needed was to have to whole pack suddenly aware of what was going on before they even had time to properly explain it to the leaders. Humphrey couldn't think of any other ways on how they should tell the leaders so they all agreed to go with Kate's idea of all four of them going to the meeting. With that set aside they continued to think and eventually decided on going with a straight adelante, hacia adelante approach and just lay everything down at once. Making it clear that they wanted a divorce in order to marry the lobos they truly love, as well as allowing alpha and omega couples across the whole pack.
Garth wasn't so sure how his dad would react to this, he was well aware of how stubborn he can be when he wants something done his way. It really came down to winning over Kate's parents who could talk him into it before Tony did something rash like calling out a war over it. It was hard to forget that Kate and Garth were the tie that brought both of the packs together as one, so what would happen if they came up saying they wanted a divorce because they both amor another wolf. None of them knew the answer and it was really coming to the point of just coming out with the truth regardless of the reaction.
Kate was loyal to Humphrey, if she had to leave her pack behind in order to be with him then so be it, she rather be happy then miserable. Garth felt the same way to Lilly, he was all for running away of they had to and the two of them had brought it up before but never spoke much about it. Realizing that coming out with the truth was all going to be about seeing and reacting they began to think about what they should do if the worst case scenario happened. They will end up running away from the pack and have to find somewhere new to live, they will break the bond between the east and the west, and they will ruin everything the leaders had worked so hard to get.
Will it be worth it, in the minds of the four lobos right now yes, but that would have to be decided it things really did come to that point. Kate knew her parents wouldn't want to see her runaway over it, they would want her to be happy, and Humphrey was just what did that. Same went for Lilly, Garth made her happy even if it was something completely against pack law, eventually they would have to give in and negotiate with Tony to somehow keep their peace.
"We just have to keep our hopes high and see what happens at the meeting." Kate dicho as their debate began to come to a close.
"Yeah I'm sure they won't do anything crazy in order to keep the two of is stuck together, they are our parents after all." Garth agreed
"Yeah, they want us to be happy, it's just what makes us happy is the problem." Kate replied while leaning her head into Humphrey's chest causing him to lightly laugh.
"From how I've know your parents growing up, I'm sure they will be against it at first but will warm up to it eventually." He dicho looking at her
"It's my dad tu have to watch out for though" Garth said
"He's not that bad is he?" Humphrey asked
"Oh believe me, he is"
"Well as tu dicho earlier, if we can win over my parents then they can talk him into it, I'm sure deep down he wants tu to be happy as well." Kate said
"I guess you're right, only way to find out is por doing it and see what happens." He replied
"Speaking of which, when do tu all think we should make this meeting?" She asked sitting up
"I'm ready anytime" Humphrey said, he didn't want to delay becoming mates with Kate any longer, it was time to properly be together.
"I just have alpha duties for the siguiente few days, so I'm also ready anytime around then." Garth agreed
"And what about Lilly?" She asked
"I don't think she's busy with anything, if she was then I'm sure she would rather get the meeting over with as soon as possible." He said
"Alright then how about in two days' time we all meet Humphrey here in his guarida, den before heading back into the pack together?" She suggested
"Alright that's fine with me, plus we can talk to Lilly más about it once we get back." He agreed.
"Humphrey, does that work for you?" She asked looking over at him.
"That's perfect" Humphrey agreed
She smiled "Well that solves it then, in two days' time we will see whether o not we all get to be together in Jasper."
"Alright!" Garth agreed
"It's about time, I've been starting to really miss not seeing tu all the time." Humphrey dicho looking at Kate.
"Really? Well I've been feeling the same way" She smiled before licking his muzzle, which he returned.
Garth just laughed and shook his head "Okay tu amor birds, what do tu say we get some comida before heading back to the pack?"
"Good I was starting to get hungry, besides tu don't even need to go hunt for it because I have a whole deer right here." Humphrey dicho pointing over to the other side of the den.
"You mean I no longer have to get tu food?" Kate joked
"Not at all, now I can return the favor of giving tu comida for all the times tu snuck some out here."
"Wait tu really took comida from the feeding grounds and brought it to him?" Garth asked
"Yeah guilty as charged" She replied smiling
"Wow that was pretty risky" He said
"Nah it was nothing, just something I had to do"
All three of them took a part of the deer and all continued to talk about things while they ate until it was time the two alphas should return back inicial to Jasper. Humphrey was upset that Kate had to leave already but if everything went right this would be the last time he would have to go a few days without seeing her. He went to sleep that night thinking on the bright side, seeing the two of them along with Garth and Lilly all getting married with the pack around them. Yet the pregunta still remained, would it all turn out the way they wanted?
