Merry Christmas!

Humphrey's POV:

I wake up to hear the not the majestic vocalisations of the birds chirping, but the howls of wolves seeking blood and battle.

The butterflies are really getting to me right now, I know it sounds ridiculous but I feel like a pup refusing to do something, I feel lost like a little pup, I just simply don't want to do this anymore, I guess that's understandable, as you know I enjoy living, I've never felt this feeling before, I feel so small and insufficient, I just want to hide and hope no one sees me, I'm not a leader, I'm an omega, scum of the pack as they say, maybe Kate's dad was right…

No! That's not how the people I love want me to think! I'm an adult now! I've got a family for crying out loud, this isn't the time to cry, I've got a whole pack to lead, a family to save, a generation of wolves to secure.

This is it.

Kate's POV:

I lay in the back cavern of the cave cuddled up with Kiara who still was asleep, my anxiety is taking over as my tail repeatedly slaps the ground, my head feels all dizzy and my fur is starting to shed, I have no idea why.

I'm so worried of Humphrey, I can't lose him after all of this time I've been searching for him, I love the asshole and he's probably going to end up being killed today, I am an alpha for crying out loud I should be out there not an omega!

I want to go and help but I promised him I'd stay and look after her, It's just not fair on me! There's plenty of other animals who can take care of her, I want her to have a father. And the way this is going she won't fucking have one, his formation he's using to planning to use to fight is completely pointless as he can be surrounded in a matter of seconds, he's not intelligently using his army, mixing the strongest and the weakest, it's wrong, he's doomed to lose! And I can't lose him, not again! Please, not again…

No one's POV:

Kate wept in the darkness of the cave, as Humphrey gave out his battle strategy.

"I want all of you in a horizontal line! To make our army look bigger!" Humphrey commanded, clearly not knowing what he was talking about, puzzled looks from his parents and even some of the omegas that were in the pit of weary wolves.

"Any other strategies" asked one omega

"Nope, unlessss" Humphrey said with a pause "you have something better?" he says as he tilts his head and winks at him.

"Erm, no sir." The omega said.

After a long silence Humphrey speaks again, "okay, I've sent April ahead to scout out the battle at the western pack territory" he then pauses, thinking of what to do now. "So, you can, erm, just chill out, you know, relax until she gets back."

The omegas immediately slouch back and embrace their inner "don't give a shit" attitude which was a gift given to them at birth by their parents. Before Humphrey's dad pulls him aside.

"What the HELL are you doing boy?" his dad says in a un omega like manner.

"Chill dad, they had a rough night, I counted like 47 groans." Humphrey replies.

"You're about to go to war! Make them do drills, or something." His dad snaps.

"What are drills?" Humphrey mutters back.

Marcel, over hearing everything from a treetop, swooping down.

"Humphrey, it's like that the exercises me and paddy made you do, remember oui?" Marcel says.

"oohhhhhh" Humphrey replies "okay, yeah that would be smart."

Humphrey's mom can be heard banging her head against a tree.

A dark cloud raised over the western pack territory, the day of reckoning, had finally came. Winston waddled with all the strength he had to the opening of his cave, and let out a shockingly shameful howl, he looked around to see his pack, all awake, who couldn't sleep on an empty stomach, a great ill-fated famine had cursed the pack.

Eve, Winston's long-time mate, died a few days earlier, followed by Cando, not even the small defenceless pups who had been born, survived.

Winston and Lily held on to everything they had, surviving on bones, praying that their beloved sister/daughter Kate would come home, Hutch, who once was a strong, confident pack member, was now nothing more than a scrawny, bony coyote.

Gareth who had been humbly accepted into the pack, approached him, even he, was starting to change.

"Sir, me and Hutch have been hunting throughout our entire territory, we've found nothing." Gareth said taking a breather.

"Gareth, there's no need for trying to find food at this point, here, you're a good kid, take my daughter, and get out of here."

"Sir, I can't leave you, not today." Gareth replied.

"Your fate will not be the same as mine, I will stay, put up a fight with everything we have left, go, go to the central pack territory, there, they'll take you and my daughter in, you'll be safe there."

Lily, over hearing this, steps out off the cave, heavily fatigued, starving, and broken.

"B-but," Lily said muttering between her deep breaths "what if Kat-K-Kate comes back?"

"She isn't, but, I hope wherever she is, that she's safe." Winston said.

"Come on Lily, let's g-" Gareth is interrupted by fierce, mighty war howls.

"They're coming." Winston says.

"Alright boys! We ready for war?!" Humphrey shouted with enthusiasm.

"YEAHHHHHHHHHH" screamed the pumped-up omegas.

"THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!" Humphrey screamed back.

As cheers exploded amongst the omegas, as they started to move out to the Western Pack Territory. Kate sat deep inside watching on, she felt so useless, she wanted to do something, but Humphrey barred her.

"It's too dangerous," he told her, huh, if its anyone who needed protection it would be him! She's a graduate alpha!

Kate knew, what she had to do, although she couldn't stop this war, she could turn the tides in her lover's favour.

Kiara slept on. She would be fine, they're still omegas staying behind to protect her, if she were to follow the pack as they left. Maybe she could catch up in time.

Kate left the cave to the opening, to be shocked to find no omegas there, she was so trapped up in her thoughts she hadn't realised the omegas had completely taken off, seeing them in the distance sprinting,

Now she knew she had to go, the first thing about war is to

DON' . .

They would die instantly without here, she leaped down and trotted after them.

"Hey!" One omega shouted "Prince Humphrey said to not leave the c-"

"Keep an eye on the kid!" Kate shouted back, as she faded into the forest following the pack's scent.

The howls grew closer, there would be no running.

Winston ordered his troops in a defensive position surrounding the cliff the pack called home, using his decades of training alphas to his advantage.

Hutch and Gareth joined Winston at the front lines,

"If the worse comes to worse, it's been an honour serving under you Winston" Hutch coughed.

"We go down fighting, then we have nothing to be ashamed of." Winston replied.

Lily was hiding out back, she was too weak to fight,

At last, the Eastern pack wolves revealed themselves from the forest.

"Well, well we- Where's the rogues?!" Tony shouted.

Dazzled looks came from the Western pack wolves.

"never mind" Tony muttered, then beginning to shout again, "Oh my lord, your packs looking well Winston," Tony joked "where's that, erm, whore of yours?" referring to Eve.

Winston snapped.

"ATTTTTTTTTACKK!" He ordered as the pack broke formation and charged the Easterns with all they had.

The Westerns looked savage, barking and growling as they're eyes appeared to turn white with rage, how dare those bastards talk that way about the deceased, loved queen.

The slid down the hillside with fury, using rocks to propel themselves into the air, and landing on the Easterns neck and started to bite.

Cries, growls, howls, could be heard, the Silver Pack was nearly there.

"Looks like the party has started!" Humphrey said to his troops.

Who all were disturbed by the loud noises.

The Easterns we're caught off guard, as many began to wrestle with the Westerns, but failing instantly with a bite to the neck.

"HOLD YOUR LINE, THEN PUSH THEM BACK" Tony growled,

They did so, standing shoulder to shoulder, biting at the Westerns, one beta got too close to the wall, and was snatched and torn apart, all morals we're gone at this point.

The war now at a standpoint, Humphrey's pack emerged from the tree line, howling in sync.

"THAT'S HUMPHREY" Hutch said in joy.

And suddenly the war cries from the Westerns were turned to cheers, everyone missed the guy.

Lily, jumped from her hiding place, yelping to see her friend again.

The Easterns slowly retreated as Humphrey approached.

"Beat it Eastern scum, you're heavily outnumbered." Lily said with her mother's infamous tone.

The easterns still retreating bumped into walls behind them, they turned around and saw their allies had finally arrived.

"Sorry Tony," King said calmly "We're a little late"

Winston's eyes turned to fear,

"That bitch convinced the Rogues to join him?!" he said,

"I got a bad feeling about this" Humphrey gulped.

Everyone knew about the Rogue's reputation, now, the shoe was on the other foot, it was the combined forces of the Westerns and Silvers, falling back.

"ATTACK" King and Tony shouted in sync.

"HIT THEM WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT SILVERS" Humphrey ordered, although the problem was, even though the silvers had numbers, they were still omegas.

As the silvers charged to meet the attack head on, they're were immediately overpowered and tackled down, killed with a single bite.

The westerns tagged in taking them on the easterns and rogues, now fighting one rogue/eastern with two silvers/westerns. Even with the numbers game, they were still losing.

Tony and King, spotted Winston and Humphrey, knowing the law of the pack, stating that if leader/s are killed during battle, then the war must end in favour of the one/s who killed the leader/s

So, not wanting any reinforcements to arrive, they leaped to their position on the opening to Winston's cave, Winston and Humphrey slowly backed up, now backed up against the corner with no where else to go, they had to fight.

"Okay, I'll take Winny Boo." King said directing at Winston.

"No, take the omega, he's healthier, I've waited too long, I need to slay Winston." Tony snarled.

King without hesitation leaped onto Humphrey, digging his claws into the omegas's body, then biting down on the shoulder, Humphrey let out a huge yelp, but persevered. Rolling over the strong alpha and biting with all of his strength on the back of King's neck, the fighting stopped, as the silver pack and western pack looked on with ecstatic faces, while horror fell upon the opposing side, was King really dead?

Humphrey, holding on for dear life, saw blood flow down King's face, thinking he had won, he released King

"WE WON!" Humphrey shouted.

Cheers erupted as the Easterns and Rogues backed off.

But suddenly, Humphrey looks down, the blood was gone, leaning over with King's blood from Humphrey's teeth, dripping on the face of King,

Who licked it away.

Before Humphrey could even comprehend what had just happened, he was blown away with a pap of King's paw, sending him to the cliff side.

"YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT COULD KILL ME, OMEGA?!"

"NO, NO, YOU WILL DIE!" king shouted with dark orange eyes.

He placed his hands on Humphrey's shoulders, readying himself to kill with a neck bite.

"GET AWAY FROM MY PACK!" Shouted a familiar voice, all fighting stopped. As cheers erupted like if Jesus returned to Earth, it was Kate.

"My girl, she's alive…" Winston smiled with tears in his eyes,

As Humphrey looked on in awe.

Tony knowing who she was, acted immediately.

"GET HER, SHE'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN YOU THINK."

The two wolves charged her, almost twice her size.

Size didn't matter, they were dealing with Winston's daughter, the infamous Kate, leader of the Western Pack.

She met their advances with a leap into a bite on one of the eastern's neck, snapping the trachea,

King distracted by the new celebrity; Humphrey took the opening to whisper into King's ear.

"Long live the king…" King hearing this went for the bite, but was propelled by Humphrey into the air, using his back legs, that were built from log sledging, to send the king over his head and down the cliff. Although, with claws tied onto Humphrey's body, Humphrey himself was taken down with him.

Kate, struggling with the easterns tagging up on her, still caught the moment in the corner of her eye.

"NO" She screamed as she leaped over the easterns "Humphrey!" she cried ignoring the rogues and easterns.

The debris still falling from the fall, revealed the two wolves laying on their sides opposite one another.

"Humphrey, please, wake up, you're all I have.." Kate whimpered.

"I love you…" she cried,

"I know…" Humphrey, said opening one eye with a smile.

Okay, guys, after a YEAR. Of this story being on , my lazy ass finally finished it, I can write a epilogue if you wish, about the celebration, oh fuck. ITS CHRISTMAS EVE!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Enjoy it, it only happens once a year!

Humphrey's British Adventure, I wouldn't say is cancelled, neither is Kieran Duffy's Redemption, I will still be active, more active than I have been, my parents got a divorce, and my dog died during lockdown, that's probably why I haven't updated.

Stay strong everyone.
