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 Далее to me. It took me about 5 секунды 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 Переместить without waking her. I waited about 10 минуты 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 сказал(-а) in a cute voice

"Um... Good morning Kate." I сказал(-а) nervously

"How long have Ты been awake?" Kate asked

"Oh just about 10 minutes." I replied

"Why didn't Ты wake me?" she asked

"Well I didn't want to be rude and wake you. Ты looked like Ты have a good dream since Ты 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 Ты something." Kate сказал(-а) pulling me up

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously

Kate pushed me out of the логово, ден 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 Ты what else we'll do." Kate сказал(-а) 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 куст, буш and crashed into something soft. I opened my eyes to find that I was on вверх 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 сказал(-а) laughing

Kate then rolled us over so that she was on вверх now. "I wouldn't say that." she сказал(-а) 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 сказал(-а) annoyed

"I was teaching Ты 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 Ты some moves to actually win one." Kate suggested

"Oh, I don't know I'm not one to hunt или 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 Ты ever want me to teach Ты 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 сказал(-а) running off towards the den

I stood there shocked. "Aw come on!" I сказал(-а) 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 Стена so when I crashed, my head slammed into the Стена and got my head stuck within it. I struggled to get out but I couldn't pull out of it.

"Cooper! Are Ты okay?" Kate asked

I сказал(-а) something but they couldn't hear me. They started to pull on my tail and finally, I flew out and landed on вверх of Kate. We stared into each other's eyes for 10 секунды 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 by 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 логово, ден 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 сказал(-а) 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 Ты like him. You've been flirting with him ever since the fight. Why did Ты instantly go from liking Kyle to Cooper?" Lilly сказал(-а) 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 волк 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 Храбрая сердцем of him I mean I was expecting Kyle to get him off but he just fought against that one волк and left me to die. или at least that's what it seemed." Kate replied

"Okay? But Kyle wouldn't have let Ты died. Is this because of the flashback and him saving Ты или do Ты 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 Ты should get to know him first I mean do Ты know anything about him?" Lilly asked

"No." Kate replied

"Well then get to know him first. I think he would like Ты back if Ты 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 Ты can ask Cooper to come over here. It will give Ты a chance to know him." Lilly suggested

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

I looked over at Kate with a smile and walked over to her. Lilly then went and walked Далее 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 Ты want?" I asked

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

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

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

"Well what do Ты want to know?"

"Everything."

"Okay well let's see here. I like to be with friends, I Любовь 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 Ты 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 Актёрское искусство weird." I replied

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

"Then why are Ты Актёрское искусство weird around me?" Kate сказал(-а) 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 сказал(-а) panicking at what I got myself into

Kate then smiled at me. "You Любовь me don't you?" Kate сказал(-а) 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 Любовь Ты too." Kate сказал(-а) 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 вверх where it stopped was a ledge big enough for 1 волк 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 сказал(-а) 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 Остаться в живых in staring at Kate's rear as she swung it side to side. I tried to focus еще on where my feet went when suddenly Kate stopped.

"Why did Ты 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 минута and Kate finally blew it. Kate hit Humphrey's rear which made him fall вперед 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 by 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 Ты have! I'm an omega; we don't learn the stuff Ты do! You're so impatient that Ты can't even stick to one guy! Ты moved on from me to Kyle and now Ты have Cooper! Can't Ты just stay with one guy!" Humphrey yelled

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

"So Ты actually cheated on Humphrey with Kyle!" I сказал(-а) 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. Ты hurt my friend but worse... Ты 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 Любовь you." Kate сказал(-а) crying

I walked past Kate walking towards Humphrey with tears in my eyes. "Well I'm sorry but it's final. When I help Ты 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 сказал(-а) walking towards Humphrey

I got to Humphrey and heard Kate crying loudly. "Lilly, could Ты 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 сказал(-а) crying loudly

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

"Th-thank Ты 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... Ты shouldn't have done that to Kate." Humphrey сказал(-а) 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 Ты 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 Ты and Cooper not being together but..." Lilly said

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

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

This immediately got Kate's attention. "I would Любовь 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 Ты have to make a promise. If Ты 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 Ты and Cooper do get back together, Ты must promise that Ты 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 Ты 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 сказал(-а) "What do Ты 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 логово, ден and we both sat down facing each other.

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

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

I had an annoyed face expression as he сказал(-а) that. "I told you, I'm not going to дата her. She hurt Ты and I don't like it when other people hurt my friends." I replied

"Cooper, listen, yes she hurt me by cheating on me but I'm over it I have a better mate now. Trust me, if Kate loves Ты 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. Ты should get back together." Humphrey explained to me

"Yea but she cheated on Ты with my brother!" I сказал(-а) pissed off

"Yes it was your brother but he's gone now. Ты killed him and now your free from ever seeing him again. Please go back to her Cooper. She loves Ты and Ты should Любовь 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 Любовь you! She cared for Ты she flirted with you. She complimented you. She kissed you. Ты know in your сердце that Ты Любовь her. Go out with her.) my good side said

(Leave her!)

(Date her!)

This continued for about 2 минуты 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 Ты 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 Далее to her very closely. I looked over at Kate and saw the мех 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 вверх of her very slowly so I wouldn't wake her up. I was successful at this and laid my head on вверх 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 сказал(-а) in my head...
