My POV

It was a damp morning in North Dakota as it had rained last night. There were puddles of rain everywhere to be found. The rain had made it very cold this night. I was awoken from a very cold breeze that passed over my face. It sent shivers up my spine waking me. I opened my eyes to see that Kate was lying inayofuata to me. It took me about 5 sekunde to realize that our noses were touching. I blushed terribly at this as I was trying to find a way to get up without waking her. I then realized that she had her arm around me so I couldn't songesha without waking her. I waited about 10 dakika before she woke up and she stared into my eyes. I was still blushing terrible as she giggled when she saw our noses touching.

"Well good morning Cooper." Kate alisema in a cute voice

"Um... Good morning Kate." I alisema nervously

"How long have wewe been awake?" Kate asked

"Oh just about 10 minutes." I replied

"Why didn't wewe wake me?" she asked

"Well I didn't want to be rude and wake you. wewe looked like wewe have a good dream since wewe were smiling." I said

"Yes I was having a good dream and you're such a sweet caring guy." Kate replied

I blushed at her compliment. (This is weird, no girl has ever been this nice to me in my life. What is with her?) I thought

"Um... Thank you." I replied shyly

"You're welcome. Come on, I want to teach wewe something." Kate alisema pulling me up

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously

Kate pushed me out of the pango in a hurry. Soon we walked until we came to a clearing. I looked around and couldn't find Kate anywhere.

"Try to find me, and I'll tell wewe what else we'll do." Kate alisema softly

I began to sniff the air trying to find Kate's scent but it was hard with this damp air from the rain. I then began to sniff around the area and checking the bushes. I then heard something hit the bushes behind me. I jumped at the kichaka and crashed into something soft. I opened my eyes to find that I was on juu of Kate struggling under me. Apparently, I had pinned Kate to the ground which was surprising since Kate was stronger than me.

"Well it looks like I win." I alisema laughing

Kate then rolled us over so that she was on juu now. "I wouldn't say that." she alisema giggling

I was embarrassed at this since I had never been in this position ever with anyone. "Damn it! I never win at these games." I alisema annoyed

"I was teaching wewe to listen. That is a key thing in hunting. Listen carefully and watch their movements and wait for the right time to attack." Kate said

"Also, I could teach wewe some moves to actually win one." Kate suggested

"Oh, I don't know I'm not one to hunt au anything. When I get mad I start to attack people that treat me bad... If I learn any moves, then I'll just become a threat." I replied sadly

"Well if wewe ever want me to teach wewe any moves, don't hesitate to ask." Kate said

"Will do. I think we should get back to the den, everyone is probably wondering where we are." I suggested

"Okay then. Oh and before we go... Tag your it!" Kate alisema running off towards the den

I stood there shocked. "Aw come on!" I alisema before I started running after Kate

I continued to run as fast as I could but still couldn't even catch her. I kept dodging trees and rocks as I ran. I came to a clearing where everyone was waiting for me. I tried to stop but I slide on the ground, sliding into the den, crashing into the back wall. The dirt was soft on the ukuta so when I crashed, my head slammed into the ukuta and got my head stuck within it. I struggled to get out but I couldn't pull out of it.

"Cooper! Are wewe okay?" Kate asked

I alisema something but they couldn't hear me. They started to pull on my tail and finally, I flew out and landed on juu of Kate. We stared into each other's eyes for 10 sekunde before we heard laughter coming from behind us. We both saw Lilly, Humphrey and Jackson laughing on the floor.

"What's so funny?" I asked

"Oh nothing." Lilly replied winking at Kate

Kate blushed at what Lilly was talking about kwa that wink. "Come on guys let's get out of here we have today, tomorrow and then after tomorrow to get Lilly back to Jasper." Kate said

We all walked out of the pango and began our journey back to Jasper. It felt like we were in groups since Jackson, Humphrey and I were in a group talking while the girls had their own little group. It was getting weird because every time I turned to look at the guys I would see Kate looking at me with a smile.

"Kate, stop looking at Cooper and look at me." Lilly alisema annoyed

"What? Sorry. I wasn't looking at Cooper, I was looking at some trees to see if I could spot any squirrels to eat." Kate lied

"Kate, we all know wewe like him. You've been flirting with him ever since the fight. Why did wewe instantly go from liking Kyle to Cooper?" Lilly alisema and asked

Kate then starts to think back to the fight. How he saved her from getting killed from that wolf. That one moment sent chills up Kate's spine. The way she watched me kill that mbwa mwitu actually turned her on a lot. Kate kept thinking about that moment and something just clicked when he saved her.

"Well the way he saved me was very brave of him I mean I was expecting Kyle to get him off but he just fought against that one mbwa mwitu and left me to die. au at least that's what it seemed." Kate replied

"Okay? But Kyle wouldn't have let wewe died. Is this because of the flashback and him saving wewe au do wewe just find him attractive?" Lilly asked

"Both, I mean he's had a tough life with his parents being killed but I just don't see why any girl wouldn't like him. He's smart, caring, handsome... cute... attractive. How could he not have a girlfriend?" Kate replied

"Well maybe wewe should get to know him first I mean do wewe know anything about him?" Lilly asked

"No." Kate replied

"Well then get to know him first. I think he would like wewe back if wewe got to know him." Lilly suggested

"I know and I will. He just seems to act nervous around me. He probably hasn't had a girl act this way towards him so that's why he must be nervous." Kate said

"Why don't I just leave and wewe can ask Cooper to come over here. It will give wewe a chance to know him." Lilly suggested

"Thanks sis, you're a real help." Kate replied happily "Cooper, could wewe come over here please?"

I looked over at Kate with a smile and walked over to her. Lilly then went and walked inayofuata to Humphrey. I was nervous on what Kate wanted. I walked over to Kate's side and gave her a smile.

"Okay I'm here what did wewe want?" I asked

"Oh nothing I just wanted to talk to you." Kate replied

"Oh okay well what do wewe want to talk about?" I asked curiously

"I don't know, tell me about yourself." Kate said

"Well what do wewe want to know?"

"Everything."

"Okay well let's see here. I like to be with friends, I upendo to play hide and seek. I hate to be annoyed. I get awkward around girls. I'd like to catch a caribou when I ever get the chance and finally... I'd like to find a girl that actually liked me." I finally finished

"Dang, but why do wewe get awkward around girls? I mean we're not scary at all." Kate asked

"Well... I just get awkward because if their cute then I'll start uigizaji weird." I replied

(Wait, so if he gets weird around girls than that means... Does he like me?) Kate thought

"Then why are wewe uigizaji weird around me?" Kate alisema smiling

I then blushed at what I just said. (Oh god what did I just get myself into. I don't what to say.) I thought to myself panicking

"I-I um well... Um um-" I alisema panicking at what I got myself into

Kate then smiled at me. "You upendo me don't you?" Kate alisema guessing

I blushed terribly as she took the words right out of my mouth. "Um... M-maybe." I answered

Kate smiled at this and leaned in and licked my cheek. "I upendo wewe too." Kate alisema excited

I looked at her and licked her cheeked back. We continued walking not saying anything to each other. Humphrey Jackson and Lilly smiled at us because they knew what happened. We walked until we came to a ledge. We looked down and it was a deep slope and on the juu where it stopped was a ledge big enough for 1 mbwa mwitu to go by.

"Come on, we need to go across this ledge to get to the other side." Jackson said

"How about we just jump it captain obvious." I alisema jokingly

Everyone chuckled at my joke. We all walked over to the ledge and went in a line all going at once with Lilly in the front and me in the back. It was hard for me to concentrate on my footing because Kate was in front of me. Every time she stepped further I would get Lost in staring at Kate's rear as she swung it side to side. I tried to focus zaidi on where my feet went when suddenly Kate stopped.

"Why did wewe stop?" I asked

"The ledge got too narrow and now we have to jump to the other side since it's not far." Kate replied

This got me nervous since it looked like a long jump from the spot up ahead. I saw Lilly and Jackson jump across with no trouble at all. It was Humphrey's turn to jump but hesitated for a long time.

"Humphrey, hurry up! Stop being a baby!" Kate yelled

Humphrey waited another dakika and Kate finally blew it. Kate hit Humphrey's rear which made him fall mbele which then made him jump. He jumped but only was able to get half his body onto the other side. Kate then jumped to the other side and then I did since I wanted to help Humphrey up. Humphrey clamped his claws to the ground and waited to get helped up. Jackson Lilly and I ran to Humphrey and pulled him up as fast as we could. As we got him up, Lilly inspected him and found he had 3 broken ribs. Humphrey was in pain and could barely stand. Humphrey then turned to Kate and had a very angry face.

"WHAT THE FUCKS YOUR PROBLEM!" Humphrey yelled

Kate was taken back kwa Humphrey's yelling. "You were too slow! I wasn't going to wait all day!" she replied loudly

"Well I'm not an alpha like you! I don't have the skills wewe have! I'm an omega; we don't learn the stuff wewe do! You're so impatient that wewe can't even stick to one guy! wewe moved on from me to Kyle and now wewe have Cooper! Can't wewe just stay with one guy!" Humphrey yelled

Kate was surprised kwa this and didn't say anything back. Jackson and Lilly helped Humphrey songesha mbele so they could songesha him away from the edge. Kate shook her head and turned around to see me with a shocked yet angry face.

"So wewe actually cheated on Humphrey with Kyle!" I alisema pissed off

"I didn't know right. I wish I never did that to him. I was being stupid and I didn't think of how much it would hurt him. Please understand honey." Kate replied about to cry

"No I don't have to. wewe hurt my friend but worse... wewe cheated on him with my brother. My brother. Once we get to Jasper I'm leaving on my own." I said

"Please Cooper... Please don't leave me... I upendo you." Kate alisema crying

I walked past Kate walking towards Humphrey with tears in my eyes. "Well I'm sorry but it's final. When I help wewe back to Jasper I will leave. Who knows what you'll do if we date. I can't take that chance... I'm sorry Kate." I alisema walking towards Humphrey

I got to Humphrey and heard Kate crying loudly. "Lilly, could wewe please go comfort Kate?"

"Cooper, please, she didn't me-"

"Please go!" I yelled

Lilly had a shocked look and scuttled over to Kate. She embraced her sister, crying into her shoulder.

"Lilly... What's wrong... With me. I-I can't even... St-stay in a-a relationship with o-out doing something wrong." Kate alisema crying loudly

"Kate, I'm sorry but this is your fault. wewe started this with cheating on Humphrey and now it's coming back to haunt you. wewe should of thought before wewe did what wewe did. If wewe want to I could get Humphrey to talk to Cooper for you." Lilly alisema that last part in a whisper

"Th-thank wewe Li-Lilly." Kate whispered

As I heard Kate's crying, it made me feel bad for making her cry. I then looked at Humphrey's injuries and shivered since it creeped me out.

"Cooper... wewe shouldn't have done that to Kate." Humphrey alisema in a low voice

"Can we talk about this later please? I'm not in the mood." I asked nicely

Humphrey nodded. "I think we should find a den, it looks like it's going to rain." Jackson suggested

We all nodded in agreement. Jackson and I help Humphrey with walking since his broken ribs were giving him pain as he walked. We walked until we were in a clearing and saw a perfect sized den. We all walked in and settled down for awhile.

"Kate, could I talk to wewe outside please?" Lilly asked

Lilly looked over at Humphrey and nodded. "Cooper, come with me for a second." Humphrey whispered in my ear

Lilly and Kate went outside and sat down under a tree. "What is it Lilly?" Kate asked still sad about what happened 2 hours ago

"Okay well I know your still upset about wewe and Cooper not being together but..." Lilly said

Kate tilted her head to the side with confusion. "But what?" she asked

"I think wewe should get back together with Cooper." Lilly replied

This immediately got Kate's attention. "I would upendo to!... but he's not going to want me back after what he found out about me." Kate replied sadly

"Okay, I'll get Humphrey to talk to Cooper but wewe have to make a promise. If wewe break it I will hurt you." Lilly said

"Of course! I'll do anything!" Kate begged

"If I get Humphrey to talk to Cooper and wewe and Cooper do get back together, wewe must promise that wewe will stay with him forever and never cheat on him." Lilly said

"I promise that I will never cheat on him and I will be with him forever... I just hope he'll want me back. When are wewe going to get Humphrey to talk to him?" Kate asked about to cry

Lilly went over to Kate and gave her a big hug. She moved her mouth towards her ear and alisema "What do wewe think Humphrey's doing right now?" Lilly whisper

Kate's frown turned into a smile knowing what she was talking about. "Thanks Lilly. Your the best sister anyone could ever have."

They started to walk back to the den. As they got in they saw Humphrey still talking to me in the back of the den.

Going to the beginning of our conversation

Humphrey pulled me to the back of the pango and we both sat down facing each other.

"Okay what did wewe want to see me about?" I asked

"It's about what happened with wewe and Kate." Humphrey said

I had an annoyed face expression as he alisema that. "I told you, I'm not going to tarehe her. She hurt wewe and I don't like it when other people hurt my friends." I replied

"Cooper, listen, yes she hurt me kwa cheating on me but I'm over it I have a better mate now. Trust me, if Kate loves wewe don't let this affect your relationship with her. I spent a lot of time with her before she cheated on me and trust me this girl is worth it. wewe should get back together." Humphrey explained to me

"Yea but she cheated on wewe with my brother!" I alisema pissed off

"Yes it was your brother but he's gone now. wewe killed him and now your free from ever seeing him again. Please go back to her Cooper. She loves wewe and wewe should upendo her. Please make her happy, for me." Humphrey said

I thought about it for a few minutes. (She broke your heart. She was dating your brother, the one that killed your parents. Leave her she doesn't deserve you.) my dark side was saying

(She is the first girl to ever upendo you! She cared for wewe she flirted with you. She complimented you. She kissed you. wewe know in your moyo that wewe upendo her. Go out with her.) my good side said

(Leave her!)

(Date her!)

This continued for about 2 dakika until I made my decision.

"Okay I'll give her another chance but if she cheats on me then I'm done." I said

"Okay thank wewe and don't worry, I don't think she wants to go through that again. Wait until morning and tell her because we need to get some rest for tomorrow." Humphrey replied

"Okay let's go." I said

Present time

We turned and saw that Kate and Lilly were already lying down in the middle to the den. Apparently we were talking for a long time so they didn't wait for us so they fell asleep.

"Goodnight Humphrey." I said

"Goodnight Cooper." Humphrey replied

I saw Humphrey walk over to Lilly and lay down inayofuata to her very closely. I looked over at Kate and saw the fur, manyoya under her eyes was soaked from her crying. This made me feel bad inside but I decided to surprise her in the morning. I laid on juu of her very slowly so I wouldn't wake her up. I was successful at this and laid my head on juu of hers. I started to fall asleep but was worried of one thing...

(Oh god I hope Kate doesn't attack me when she wakes up.) I alisema in my head...
