Kate's POV
__________________________________________________
"Jason?" I called as I exited the den, "What are wewe doing?" I sat down beside him and stared blankly at him for a few moments. He took a deep breath and said, "Mother?"

"Yes sweetie?" I asked.

"Would wewe and dad never have gotten stranded if I hadn't ever been born?" He asked with his head down.

"Son why would wewe ask that?" I alisema in disbelief, "You know that's not true."

"I do?" He replied, "Mom, if I hadn't been born wewe and dad would've just stayed at nyumbani with Dane, Gavan, and Anna, and wewe would've never had to leave, because wewe wouldn't have had a reason to."

"Son I...That's not true son,"

"Then tell me mother!?" He snapped, "Why did wewe and dad go and fight for?"

"For the pack."

"We both know that's not the only reason."

I sighed deeply and looked at my son, "Listen son, wewe haven't done anything wrong alright? wewe are perfect in every way possible." That's all I could say, I didn't know what else to say to him. As much as I didn't want to realize it, he was right. If he wasn't born then we wouldn't have had to leave. "Oh shut up old girl, that's your son." I thought.

"Hey, after wewe two are done, do wewe mind helping me?" Humphrey called. "Sure, I'll come help you." Jason replied and ran to help his father pull a fully grown caribou into the den. He passed me and smiled. "You're getting good at this." I alisema smiling back as they took the caribou to the far side of the den. "I had a good teacher." He alisema as he sat the caribou down. I walked to his side and sat down. We nuzzled happily and smiled at each other.

"Father I need to ask wewe something." Jason said.

"Sure anything son." He replied, "What do wewe need?"

"Well, actually three things."

"Ok, don't see how that makes much of a difference but okay."

"I'll just go outside and leave wewe two alone." I alisema as I sneaked out to the entrance of the pango and sat down. I started wondering again of the valley, how beautiful it was, and Lilly and the family. "Will I ever see them again?" I thought to myself.

Jason's POV

I watched as mother walked outside the pango then stared blankly at my father for a moment. Wondering how to put what I was going to say, and scared of what he might say.

"Dad," I started with a little bit of fear in my voice.

"Hold it son," He alisema putting his paws up, "You don't have to be afraid of me."

"I wasn- wait how did wewe tell?"

"Cause unless wewe haven't used the bathroom in eight months wewe are scared of me." He alisema chuckling and pointing at my shaking legs.

"Oh right well anyways," I alisema trying to change the subject. "There's this....girl."

"You have a girlfriend!" He screamed.

"Shhhhh I don't want mom to know." I alisema hitting him in the back of the head.

"You have a girlfriend?" He whispered.

"Not yet, but I am thinking about her a lot."

"Ehhh...that's my boy." He alisema smiling.

"Another thing is wewe know how I came from the valley?"

"Where are wewe going with this?"

"Well, how the hell am I going to get nyumbani dad?" I alisema starting to shake again, "I don't want to stay here."

"Well...I...uh," He starting giggling, " I...uh....I don't know son."
He looked out in the direction of the valley. "Hmm...I wonder." He alisema getting up from where he was. He walked outside to where mother was and started to sniff and looked back at me sitting in the den. "Would that work?" He asked himself. "Would what work dad?" I asked staring at him walking around the den. All of a suden he just stopped, looked dead at me, and said, "I have an idea."

Anna's POV
__________________________________________________
"Hey everyone!" Tanner screamed walking into their nyumbani valley, "Look! Fresh meat!"

"Wait what!" I screamed as I looked around at the lines of male Mbwa mwitu loups running down each side of the valley to come and meet me. They all just kept coming and kept coming. From the looks of things, I was the only female here, except for a little old scrawny old female omega in the back. I pushed through all the guys and finally got to her. She was black with a white underbelly and green eyes.

"Hey." I alisema trying to start a conversation.

"Leave me alone." She alisema walking away.

"Oh don't worry about her. She always has her fur, manyoya in a wad. Come on and meet some of our brothers." He alisema trying to walk me back towards the guys. He then stopped when he felt my resistence and turned to notice me staring back at the girl. "Anna, come one girl." He alisema as he whistled, "Come on doggy!" I turned around and slapped him a good one and turned back around to see that she was gone. "Wha- wait." I called but no answer.

I turned back to go to the males.

Garth's POV

I entered the pango to see Dane laying on the floor with Lilly. "Now what is he doing here?" I wondered to myself. I just stared blankly for a moment then Lilly got up and said, "Hey handsome, when did wewe get back?"

"What was Dane doing here?"

"Oh, I got a little sick, and he just came to be with me while wewe were out."

"OH, are wewe alright?"

"I am now, but if it wasn't for Dane to cuddle with me last night, and I know it sounds bad, but we would've frozen our areses off last night. I got really cold."

"Last night was pretty chilly."

"CHILLY!" Dane screamed as he jumped up, "IT WAS FU-...freaking cold."

"You better watch your mouth there young man." I said.I then heard something out of my right ear. My ear twitched and I said, "Hey, did wewe hear that?"

"Hear what?" Dane asked.

"That....noise." I alisema slowly running towards the enterence of the den. Lilly sitting beside me, she quinced the she slowly said, "That's......."

"That's what?" Dane asked worry started to come out of his voice.

"That's.........Humphrey."
