"No, no, no, NOO! wewe can't die! I upendo you," wailed Humphrey as he wept over Kate's body.

Winston padded up to him, "Humphrey, she's dead, there's nothing we can do."

Humphrey looked at his pack leader, only to see his own sadness reflected in Winston's eyes.

"No, she can't be dead, she can't be dead, no," he cried. Humphrey then looked over at Tony, "This is your fault! If wewe weren't so greedy, Kate would still be alive! wewe old fool, Kate gave her life to save yours, and wewe don't even have the respect to mourn her."

Tony flinched away from the cold moto in Humphrey's gaze. "Tony, I think wewe should take your pack nyumbani before mine does something drastic," Winston whispered to his old friend.

Tony nodded, "Eastern pack, we're going home!" Howls of protest rose from the eastern Mbwa mwitu loups throats, but a powerful look from Tony sent them on their way.

"Humphrey, it's no use. Come on buddy, let's go home," Salty nudged Humphrey's shoulder as he spoke.

"No, there's nothing for me there. I'm never going back there again. I'm going to leave Jasper, and hopefully my pain far behind." Humphrey growled as he stood up. "But first, I am going to bury her, it is the least I can do for her."

Late that night, after finishing Kate's grave, Humphrey left Jasper Park, vowing to never return to the place that had taken away the one he had loved….

The old mbwa mwitu woke from a horrible dream to see that it had invaded the real world; HE was standing in the cave inayofuata to him. "So," asked the old wolf, "have wewe come to kill me?"

"For her," was the only thing the old mbwa mwitu heard before he felt razor-sharp teeth tear into his throat.

The old mbwa mwitu made no noise as he bled out on the floor of his den; but as his killer walked out of the cave, he managed to choke out, "I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused." The inayofuata morning wailing could be heard on the eastern side of the river, Tony was dead.
