Chapter 13: Apologies
Humphrey awoke late in the morning, Kate was already gone doing her morning hunt so he had the 굴, 덴 to himself. However instead of sitting around waiting for his soon to be wife to return he decided to go out and visit with his friends. Surly they were still confused about the whole idea of him and Kate actually being together, so he would have to explain everything that happened while he was a lone wolf. He was excited to see them all again, three months felt too long to be away, of course it was only a matter of time until they were back to playing their games together. After searching around the 굴, 덴 grounds he finally found them in a clearing not too far from the river that ran 의해 the territory.
"Hey guys" He greeted as he walked into the clearing
"Humphrey! It's about time 당신 came to see us." Salty said as the three turned to face him.
"Yeah I know, I was pretty busy yesterday but I got most of the 일 now to hangout and catch up."
"Great, it's good to see 당신 back and all but what the hell happened?" He asked
Humphrey smiled "What do 당신 mean Salty? I got my dream girl is all I can say."
Mooch shook his head "To think that after how much we tried to convince 당신 to adjust your sights on a mate, 당신 still end up getting Kate to fall for you. I don't know how 당신 did it Humphrey, but 당신 are some lucky dog." He said.
"Thanks Mooch, I can't really believe it either."
"Well then, tell us what really happened, I know 당신 left because of Kate but how did 당신 end up finding each other again." Salty asked.
Humphrey took a breath before telling them about how Kate followed his scent and ended up finding him at the 굴, 덴 he was using for the night. Shakey just sat and listened along with the others, however he already understood what happened because of yesterday.
"Wow she must really 사랑 you, doing all that just to be with you." Shakey said when he finished.
"Yeah man, I guess us three are the only ones left yet to find someone" Salty added.
"That is true, but that could all change after the 다음 howl, there will be someone eventually." Humphrey said.
They all nodded before Salty looked back at him "So did 당신 pop the 질문 to her yet?" He asked.
Humphrey smiled before replying "Last night I did, picked a nice spot under the moon, talked and sat close for a bit before I asked her to marry me, and she said yes." It was such a bittersweet thing to say, obviously that was a statement he never thought he would say to his friends, being that they tried to keep him away from her for his own good in a way.
"Ah I never realized 당신 were quite the romantic type eh?" Shakey replied.
"What can I say, she's special to me so I treat her just as that."
"Well maybe 당신 can teach us some of your tricks, so we can get some girls." Salty said raising and eye brow.
Humphrey laughed "Sure if 당신 want, but believe me guys I'm not any 사랑 expert now that I have a mate 당신 know. I consider myself lucky."
"Lucky 당신 may be, but still 당신 have to have a few moves that 당신 could teach us." He said.
Humphrey could tell they wanted his 조언 even if he couldn't give anything useful, but they were his 프렌즈 and they helped him in the past so now he could return the favor. Also he did agree that their pickup lines could use a little work.
He laughed again at how his 프렌즈 believed he could give them relationship 조언 "Oh alright, I guess I have a few tips." He said receiving smiles from all of them.
Elsewhere in the forest Garth and Lilly were enjoying a quiet lunch in the feeding grounds. Garth had proposed to her he night prior so now they were soon to be married mates alongside Kate and Humphrey, however both of the couples had no idea of that fact yet. While they talked and ate part of a caribou they decided to get married a few days after the upcoming moonlight howl. Of course they still needed to speak with Winston and the others to see what 일 would be the best to do so. They could get married right now if they really wanted too but there was no rush, they had all their lives left and they were already together. Marriage was just a 제목 in their opinion.
They both laughed as they talked until a sudden cough fought their attention. Garth turned his head and saw his father sitting before him, he wasn't really in the mood to see him after yesterday. "Oh 저기요 dad." He greeted causally.
Lilly didn't feel comfortable being around Tony, she knew he didn't approve of her and Garth being mates, so whatever it was he came here for she hoped it was good. "Hey Garth, 저기요 Lilly" Tony greeted back looking at them both.
Tony well understood and could sense the fact that they weren't happy to see him but after some time to think alone he really needed to apologize for his actions. The words of his son and Winston yesterday stuck with him and eventually he came to the same realization that he had made a mistake. His son was happy, and seeing the two of them laughing and talk as he walked up reinforced that fact. Why should he stand in the way?
There was a short and kind of awkward silence until Tony spoke again, he sighed and looked at Garth. "Look Garth, I am sorry for how I acted yesterday. I didn't mean to hurt 당신 의해 what I said and after some time thinking I realized that I was wrong about, well... everything."
Garth was surprised to say the least, he never expected his father to come around about this so quickly, he was really apologizing to him.
"You deserve to be with who 당신 choose, and as your father I should not stand in the way of that. 당신 two look happy together so I can only give 당신 my best wishes that 당신 live a great life." He continued before finally turning to Lilly who looked back at him. "And Lilly, I'm sorry for the things I said. I may not know 당신 to well yet but 당신 are a good mate for my son, and I'm glad to call 당신 my daughter-in-law."
당신 could say Lilly was 더 많이 shocked than Garth to hear that, Tony had understood the fact that they really loved each other and instead of disapproving it he was not doing the opposite. It felt so sudden and Garth couldn't help but smile, the only thing left holding him down emotionally was now erased. "Thank you" Lilly replied.
Tony smiled and looked at Garth "What do 당신 say son? Do 당신 forgive me?"
"I forgive 당신 dad" Garth replied "I'm glad 당신 finally understand"
"Yeah it was a mistake on my part, but now we can 옮기기 on and see how this whole alpha and omega couple thing works out."
"Well the pack seemed to support it when we had the meeting yesterday, if 당신 didn't already know." Garth said.
"Oh good, I didn't know." Tony said "Well 당신 two enjoy the rest of your lunch, I'm going to speak with Winston and apologize to him as well."
"Alright I'll see 당신 around dad" He said before watching him talk off.
Lilly turned to look at him "Well that was surprising" She said.
"Yeah I'll say" He replied
"I guess things can become better between 당신 two now."
"I hope so, only time will tell."
"Well I think we should hang out with him 더 많이 now that the problems are out of the way." She suggested.
She did have a good point in his opinion, his relationship with his dad was the only negative thing in his life currently so he wanted nothing 더 많이 than to get along with him. "Your right" He said before taking a final bite out of a caribou leg. They continued to talk for a bit under the shade until it was his time to go do his alpha duties, he kissed her goodbye before running off towards the valley. She smiled before deciding to go visit her parents and talk about planning their marriage, as well as to see what was new.
While Garth was heading to his duties Kate had already finished hers and was out searching for Humphrey, she could only imagine he was with his omega 프렌즈 so they could be anywhere. Her hunt was routine and her team brought down a single deer, however she was the buzz of conversation between them. Hutch, Vik, and Sally were all curious about how she managed to keep her and Humphrey a secret for so long. She only smiled and stated that she just simply snuck out during her free time, which was all she really did. She found it funny how this was such a big shock to the pack, sure their 사랑 was forbidden until now but her and Humphrey weren't any different than any other couple.
As she was heading towards to valley to see if she could find her 사랑 there the sound of rumbling caught her attention. She quickly looked up the 언덕, 힐 in front of her and saw an amusing sight, there was Humphrey along with his 프렌즈 all going down the 언덕, 힐 in a log sled. She quickly picked up the pace and headed down to the valley floor where she knew they would end up. It was nice to see him having a good time, it almost looked like he had never left Jasper in the first place. Eventually she found where they had ended up and could see the four of them laughing and talking 다음 to the logsled.
"Man we ought to do that again!" Mooch said
"Yeah Humphrey, you've gotten better since 당신 were last here." Shakey agreed.
Humphrey laughed "Well I did have a lot of time to practice on my own." He said.
Kate silently walked up 의해 his side while he talked, she smiled and looked at him "Hey handsome" She greeted, catching his attention.
He jumped a little in surprise to see his mate sitting beside him all of a sudden "Oh 저기요 beautiful" He replied before nuzzling her.
"Well as much as I want to have another go down the 언덕, 힐 I think it will have to wait until 다음 time." He said looking back at his friends. Kate didn't mean to ruin the fun they were having but they had already planned to go meet with her parents after her duties.
"Alright then we'll have to continue on without you" Salty replied.
Humphrey smiled "Okay, just make sure to work on the turn I showed you. Cya guys." He said before turning away.
"Cya Humphrey, just don't forget about us now that 당신 have a girl and all." Shakey teased.
Humphrey laughed and looked back at them "Don't worry I won't." He said before beginning to walk away with Kate 의해 his side. She just smiled and was enjoying the fact that she was getting to hang out with him again after being gone all morning.
"You know 당신 could have stayed and had fun." She said after a 분 또는 so.
"Yeah I know but I want to hang out with 당신 more, besides we did plan to go see your parents." He replied.
"Yeah we did, come on." She said before leading him up and out of the valley towards the 굴, 덴 grounds.
