Amoux and Aurora: The Era of Wolves

Chapter 2: Meeting New Friends

Chris makes his way to the other side of the mountains. He then sees a forest leading to a valley. "Looks like I'm almost there." said Chris as he makes his way towards it. Little does he know, there was a park ranger hiding in a bush with a tranquilizer gun. "Alright. If I can make it through here I should-Ow!" yelled Chris as he noticed a dart on his body. "What the?" said Chris as he slowly passed out. The park rangers then come out. "This one's a beauty. We'll take him. Time to go to Idaho." said a ranger as they load him on to a truck. *Hours later* Chris was sleeping in the middle of nowhere as he heard voices. "He looks cool!" said a voice. "Easy! We don't want to overwhelm him." said another voice. Chris then slowly sees a female wolf and male wolf looking at him. His eyes opened wide and immediately backed up. "Woah, woah! Easy! Your alright." said the female wolf. Chris then calmed down. "Who are you guys?" asked Chris. "Oh! I'm Kate. And this is Humphrey, a childhood friend." she replied. "Hey." he said. "I'm Chris. Nice to meet you guys. Where am I?" asked Chris. "We don't know. Where were you coming from?" asked Kate. "I was on my way to the valley in Jasper until I passed out." said Chris. "You were arriving at the valley in Jasper? That's where we live!" said Humphrey. "Where did you come from?" asked Kate. "I'm the leader of the Nightwolf pack. I live in the Sanctuary." said Chris. "The Nightwolf pack? My dad told me stories of them." said Kate. "It's been a while since we heard of a new pack." said Humphrey. "Hey, since your here, maybe we can help each other and find a way home." said Kate. "I like that. We should get moving." said Chris as the trio ventures across the area. "So Chris...why are you heading to Jasper?" asked Kate. "Well, a few wolves attacked my home and I'm trying to find out who did. So I thought about exploring to see if I can find packs." explained Chris. "Well, you have our pack. The Western Wolves led by my father and you have our rivals, the Eastern Wolves. Led by Tony." said Kate. "Rivals?" asked Chris. "Yeah, the Eastern Wolves like to sabotage our hunts because they don't have much caribou in their valley. So that's why it's our jobs as omegas to prevent a fight." said Humphrey. "Huh. And I guess that makes you an alpha?" asked Chris as he looks at Kate. "Yeah. It's our responsibility in preparations for leadership. That's why I need to get back home because a war will happen between the packs if I don't return to Jasper." said Kate. "Hmm, well maybe I can help you with that. That's all the reason why I went on this quest. To bring peace. My father would do the same." said Chris. "You have family?" asked Kate. Chris nodded. "I have a wife and a daughter. Carla and Luna. My mother is named Claudia, she's retired. And my father, his name was Malcolm. He died years ago. What about you?" asked Chris. "I have a mom and dad obviously and I have a sister named Lily." said Kate. "I have two parents and it's only me." said Humphrey as Chris smiled. The three continue to venture until they came across a goose named Marcel and a duck named Paddy, who explain to them that they're in Idaho and that Kate and Humphrey were sent to Idaho to repopulate their species. "Repopulate? Then why did they take him instead?" asked Humphrey. "Well...I don't know. Perhaps if you weren't to repopulate?" said Marcel. "Woah, woah! First of all, that's stupid and second of all, my wife would flip is she found out about this." said Chris. Kate then sighed. "Then we need to get back home then. How do we get back?" asked Kate. "Well, there is a ride heading to Jasper. Follow us." said Paddy as they head off. Meanwhile, As the packs discover that Kate has gone missing, Tony warns Winston that if Kate doesn't return, war will be inevitable.
