Anders woke up to find that his parents were already up and about. He stood up and started to stretch and shake himself awake.
"Did you sleep well?" Kate asked once she noticed him awake.
"What are we going to do today?"
"Yup, same old Anders, Business as usual." Humphrey chuckled as Kate giving a slight smile answered Anders' question. "Me and Humphrey are going to meet with Garth, Lilly, and the others to discuss what needs to take place at the moment. Right now some of the Alphas are looking for food and shelter."
"What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to take it easy today. You had a long day yesterday and need the rest. And this isn't a suggestion, it's an order."
"Are you sure there isn't anything?"
"Positive."
Anders rolled his eyes and began to walk away. "I just thought that I would need to do something in a time like this."
"How long has it been since you went to see Faith Anders?" Shouted Humphrey.
Anders' ears twitched at his father's question and took off faster then a lightning bolt.
"You always knew what got to him." Kate said as she nuzzled Humphrey.
"Well, he's my son, so he's bound to be like me, and when I was that age. My girl was the most important thing in the world." Humphrey said as he winked at Kate.
She giggled and watched her son run off into the woods and took a deep breath. Humphrey noticed and Nuzzled her back.
"Don't worry about him. Now come on, after that meeting we get to take the rest of the day off ourselves."

Anders ran around the whole area and almost ran into three other wolves doing so. He stopped to rest while still looking around. "Where could she be? I hope she wasn't left behind.I wouldn't be able to live with myself if she..." Just then Anders was tackled and pinned by an unknown figure.
"Where have you been my little Alpha?" said his captor. Anders recognized the voice and quickly pushed his captor off and pinned her to the ground.
"Little huh? If anyone is a little Alpha it's you Faith." Anders chuckled as he nuzzled her and then got off. Faith is a blond alpha much like Kate only with longer hair and light blue eyes.
"But seriously Anders. I was worried sick about you. I was for sure that you were still out there fighting."
"I probably still would be if my father didn't make me leave." Anders began to walk with Faith right beside him.
"Well I'm glad he did. Faith licked Anders' cheek.
"So what do you want to do today? We have the hole day to ourselves."
"Oh I don't know. How about..." Faith then ran off in the other direction giggling to herself. Anders began to chase after her, which marked the start of a game of chase between the two.

"We've been waiting for you two." Lilly said as HUmphrey and Kate sat down by her and Garth.
"So what's the plan?" One of the lead Alphas spoke up.
"First off we need to be deciding whether we should continue moving on to a different area or not." Garth replied.
"I say we keep moving, nobody feels safe yet." Said another Alpha.
"If I may sir, my squad has found plenty of caribou in just this area alone. Also while they've been on the hunt they have found many caves that we could use as shelter."
"Yes, but how long until they track us down again?"
"We have lookouts throughout the area that will be able to warn us when they come." Said Kate.
"Then it's settled. We stay here until further notice. Sort of like a Safe Haven until we can recover from our loss."
"What about when we go back to reclaim our land? We don't have nearly enough wolves to take them on, and even if we did they still wouldn't be strong enough."
"We did once until three of our best fighters deserted us. If they didn't leave none of this would've happened." Kate's heart started to ache as she lowered her head.
"They're all dead to us now." An alpha replied. Kate tried to hold back the tears but was unable to. She cried so softly that only Humphrey, Lilly, and Garth noticed.
"Shut up! All of you!" Humphrey shouted in rage, "None of you have any right to say anything about them!"
"They're a disgrace Humphrey!" Humphrey leaped to the one who said this and began choking him. Garth quickly pulled Humphrey off and stood in between them.
"All of you stop this right now! We aren't going to solve anything if we argue like this!"
"Then what do you suggest we do Garth? Send our wolves in only to get slaughtered!?" Before Garth could reply a soft, shaky voice spoke out. "We...we can bring them back..." Everyone turned toward Kate who was still looking at the ground crying.
"Kate wha....what are you talking about?" Humphrey asked as he came over to comfort her.
"We can get them back....I know we can........We just need to send Anders and..."
"Kate we don't need to do that." Garth said as he walked over and stood by Humphrey.
"Yes we do Garth!" She snapped, "We need my sons here now............We have no other choice..."
"Did you sleep well?" Kate asked once she noticed him awake.
"What are we going to do today?"
"Yup, same old Anders, Business as usual." Humphrey chuckled as Kate giving a slight smile answered Anders' question.
