Princess' POV
I woke up that morning in a bad mood from yesterday's events. It made me feel awful yelling at Hutch even though he didn't do anything to deserve it. The frustration of him telling me to talk with King just made me snap at him. I wanted to say I was sorry to Hutch when he woke up.
Realizing that a walk might help me clear my mind, I decided to head out of the den. I was parched so, I decided to head to the pond for a quick drink. The scenery sort of helped me relax, but I still couldn't get the thought of King out of my head. To be honest, a part of me really wanted King to die after he threatened to kill Runt. How could he have wanted to do that to an innocent pup?
Shaking my head, I stopped thinking about him. It took me a few minutes, but I arrived at the pond. There I was surprised to see Runt licking up some the water.
"Good morning Runt," I said. This caused him to jump a little. Runt looked at me and smile.
"Oh, good morning Princess," he detto adorably.
I walked over to the water as me and Runt drank some of it. Once we quenched our thirsts, we began to talk. The conversations were mainly about how we slept and if we had any dreams. Then Runt asked me where Hutch was, so I told him that he was at the tana, den sleeping.
I frowned at the memory of me yelling at him and us not snuggling successivo to each other that night. Noticing my distraught expression, Runt had asked if something was bothering. I decided to tell him everything. Once I finished, Runt looked at me with a slightly disappointed face.
"How could te do that Princess," he scolded lightly.
"I know I messed up, but Hutch was frustrating me about my fathe... I mean King," I detto with guilt.
"Well he was just worried about you," Runt said. "Are te at least gonna apologize to him?"
"Certainly," I answered. "The minuto he wakes up, I'll tell him I'm sorry for what I did last night."
"Good," Runt said.
Me and Runt went back to più casual chatting until we went back to our respective homes. Once I arrived at the den, I saw that Hutch was eating a piece of meat while a whole caribou was at the back of the den. I walked in as he continued eating.
"Good morning," I detto to him.
"Hi Princess," he detto with a tone filled with despair.
My cuore ached when Hutch sounded sad. I never truly realized how much I hurt him.
"Hutch, look. I'm sorry about last night," I said. Hutch lifted at my statement. "I shouldn't have yelled at te because te were worried. I can only hope te can forgive me."
Hutch walked over to me and hugged. "It's alright Princess. I already forgave you." Me and him snuggled for a while until we stopped.
"Thanks for not holding a grudge Hutch," I said.
"Why would I ever do that to my wife," He said. "I knew that te were just frustrated."
After that, Hutch gave me a piece of caribou as I filled my stomach. Once I ate the meal up, me and Hutch talked about our plans for a honeymoon.
Later in the afternoon, one of Hutch's friend Cando came da our den.
"Oh ciao Cando. How's Reba," Hutch asked.
"She's good. Janice and her are out picking berries," Cando said. Something that was strange was the manner of his smile.
I decided to ask Cando is anything was wrong. When I did, he sighed and bore a distraught look on his face.
"Ok look, Kate and Humphrey wanted me to inform te about King's execution," Cando said. "It's scheduled for today."
My cuore skipped a beat at Cando's announcement. King was going to be executed today. When I asked what time he'll be killed, Cando detto later at sunset.
I stood there shocked. Emotionless was probably the right word to describe my face.
Cando left as me and Hutch were left alone. He decided to change the subject to what we should do today. I myself wanted to dropped the discussion so I played along. But on the inside, I was torn apart.
During the giorno I felt depressed as I could barely smile. Hutch tried to cheer me up, but nothing really helped.
It was an ora until sunset when I was alone in my den. A few minuti ago, Hutch detto he needed to do something so he left the den. While in solitude, my feelings were conflicted. I should be glad that King was going to be rid from my life and won't hurt any other innocent wolf, but all I felt was despair and regret.
All of a sudden Hutch returned to our tana, den with... Runt?
"Runt what are te doing here? Shouldn't te be with your family for King's execution?"
"He's here to help me talk some sense into you," Hutch said. I was confused as to what he meant da that until I realized it was about King.
"Princess look, what you're doing isn't good for your psyche," Runt said.
"What are te talking about," I detto irritated.
"Hutch told me all about how depressed te were today after hearing about King," Runt said. "All you're doing is repressing your feelings about your dad."
"He's right. If te keep this up, te might be mentally and emotionally damaged," Hutch said.
"How do te know that might happen," I detto defensively. "Plus Runt why do te care about me talking to my father if te know how much of a bastard he is?"
"Don't get me wrong. I still think your father's an awful lupo and I hate him for wanting to kill my family," Runt exclaimed. "But I care about te and I don't te to be like this forever."
"Just shut up both of you," I detto with fury. "None of te know it's like to be in this position."
"You're wrong," I was surprised to find the words come out of Hutch's mouth. "I know what's like to be in this situation."
Third Person POV
Hutch began to tell Princess about how his father, Hans, left him and his mother, Carol when he was only a pup. Years later when Hutch was a teenager, Hans had returned only to be struck with a fatal illness. Carol had wanted her son to reconcile with his father, but Hutch only thought of Hans as a dead beat dad.
Hans' condition was getting worse as he was closer to death. Luckily, Runt's grandfather Winston talked to Hutch about mending his relationship with his father. During Hans' last few days, him and Hutch talked to each other as they began to reconcile with each other.
One giorno however Hans was on his death. Though not before he told Hutch to be a good mate and father and become like Hans. Hutch told him that he forgave him for leaving him and his mother all those years ago. Hans smiled before passing away at that moment. Carol cried as Hutch comforted her while tears ran down his eyes as well.
Since that day, Hutch was devoted to fulfill his late father's wish of him being a great mate and an even greater father.
Back to Princess' POV
Once Hutch finished his story, he had started to tear up about as well as Runt. It struck me that my words the other night had hurt Hutch più than I thought. He's been through the torment of not being able to over come the terrible situation he was in.
After he wiped his eyes dry, Hutch spoke again, "I don't know how miserable my life would have been if I didn't reconcile with my father."
"Hutch I'm sorry," I detto with extreme guilt. "I never knew te went through something like that."
"It's alright Princess," Hutch detto as I nuzzled his chest.
"I understand now , te were didn't want me to have a life full of regret," I said.
"Exactly," Hutch said.
"Hutch and I care about te a lot Princess," Runt detto with a smile.
"Yeah you're right," I said. I stood up and went towards the entrance of the den. "Now I know what I have to do. Can te two come with me for support?"
"Certainly," they both detto as we ran towards the tana, den my father was being kept in.
When we arrived, it was close to sunset. The two Lupi that were guarding my father noticed us, prompting them to walk over to us.
"What is your business here," the tan lupo asked.
"I'm here to visit my father before the execution," I said.
"Fine te may enter," the Lupi went aside to allow us to go in.
Once we were inside, we saw my father in the back of the den. He was curled up in a ball with his head down.
"Father," I detto to him. He turned around and was shocked to find us there.
"Princess, Runt? Are te doing here," Father asked.
"I'm here to talk to you," I told him. "But first I wanted to introduce te to my mate, Hutch."
"Oh so te must be my son-in-law," King detto walking up to Hutch and extended his paw to him. "It's a pleasure to meet to te Hutch." The two shook their paws. King looked at Runt as there awkward silence. Runt looked a bit mad at King, but I didn't blame.
"Umm hello Runt," my father said.
"King," Runt said.
"Look, I'm sorry for causing a lot of trouble for te and your family," Father detto with immense guilt.
Runt sighed heavily before speaking, "Look, I'm still hate te for trying to kill my family. The only reason I'm helping te is for Princess' sake."
My dad looked sad at Runt's response, but nonetheless understood Runt's anger towards him.
After that, me and my father talked.
"Princess, I'm sorry that I never acted like a dad to you," he said.
"No father, I know that te were only trying to take care of me da yourself," I told him. "I was just being an ungrateful brat."
"What I did back at Natale was not justified at all," Father said. "All I wanted was power."
"Why did te want power in the first place," Runt asked.
"I just wanted a better place to live for Princess," King said.
"So doesn't that mean that te wanted power to protect Princess," Runt added.
"All I wanted was for my daughter to have a good life," Father said.
"You see father, te tried to protect me," I said. "I Amore te know matter what, even if I lied to myself."
My father's face lighten as I told him I loved him.
"Princess," King detto as he began to cry. "When my plan failed, the idea that I would never see te again horrified me."
"Daddy," I detto as I cried as well. The two of hugged as we cried together.
After we finished letting out our emotions, we pulled out of the hug as we were relieved to have resolved our problems.
"It's good to get that off my chest," I detto to my father.
"Ditto," he sniffed.
"What are we gonna do now," Hutch asked. "I mean we can't really have King be executed now, right?"
At that moment, the realization that my dad was going to be executed soon struck me hard. I had forgotten all about it when we reconciled.
"Oh no, what are we going to do," I asked a bit scared.
"I have an idea," Runt said.
"Really? What is it," I asked.
"Well it could get us in trouble," he said.
"Well we are desperate," Hutch said.
"Okay here's the plan..."
22 minuti later
Two Lupi came into the tana, den to take my father, "Hey King, it's time to pay your dues."
Me, Hutch and Runt stood in front of my father as we growled at them.
"The hell is this," one of them asked.
"We're not gonna let te kill my father," I detto with determination.
"Well we really don't give a damn about what te want. So I think it's best if te get out of the way," a brown lupo snarled.
"Dude wait," a grey lupo said.
"What," the brown one said.
"The pup with them is one of the Kate's and Humphrey's son. If we attack him we'll be exiled," Grey lupo said.
"Aghh dammit. Well just tell them what's going on they'll sort it out," Brown lupo detto as the two of them exited the den.
We all relaxed as we prepared for the secondo part of the plan.
A few minuti later Kate and Humphrey rushed into the tana, den with looks of frustration.
"What's the meaning of this te guys," Humphrey sternly said.
"Kate, Humphrey look. My father can change if te give him a chance," I stated.
"She's right mom and dad. Even if he did some awful things he can still change," Runt followed.
"Runt te too," his mom questioned.
"King is actually a nice guy. He just made some horrid mistakes," Hutch said.
"Look I'm sorry te guys but King needs to pay for what he's done and him being alive can pose a threat to the packs," Humphrey stated.
"If there were rogues very loyal to him then he could possible tell them to stop," I objected.
"Sirs if I may intervene," a voice said. To our surprise, it was the golden furred lupo that was guarding my father.
"Ethan!? Now you're defending King," Kate said.
"While what he did was downright awful, what he detto before might be proof he at least has a heart," The lupo named Ethan said. I was surprised this lupo defend my father. Ethan proceeded to tell Kate and Humphrey our entire conversation with my father earlier. Suffice to say, Humphrey and Kate were surprised da what Ethan told them. "Plus, all sentient life has the right of freedom as long as they have not Lost the right o at least regained it."
They looked at King before breathing in and sighing heavily. "I'm guessing what Ethan told as is that King fully regrets his actions and deeply cares about Princess," Kate said.
"And he apologized to Runt," Humphrey added.
"Fine, King will be spared," Kate detto as we cheered. Though she cut it short da added another part. "But he will be kept under surveillance until enough suspicion is lifted. Plus he only eat left overs."
"And Runt," Humphrey detto causing Runt to seem a little nervous. "Just come home soon."
Runt sighed a little in relief.
"I won't make te regret your decision," Father said.
"The only reason we're letting te live is because of Runt and Princess te got it," Kate said.
"I understand," King said.
Kate and Humphrey left the den.
"Well that went smoothly," Runt said.
"You bet," I detto with extreme Glee as I hugged my father. "I was worried they were going to kill te dad."
"Yeah I can agree on that part," my father detto embracing my hug. We stayed that way for a good half of a minuto until we broke off.
We turned to Ethan to thank him for helping, "It was no trouble."
"Why did te help us," Runt asked.
"By the sounds of it, it seems King has at least one person who cares about," Ethan answered. "And it seemed wrong to let them suffer a great loss."
"Still think te should have let him be executed," the grey lupo said, earning himself a punch, punzone from Ethan.
"You know it was the right thing to do Drake," Ethan said. drake proceeded to mumble something under his breath.
After around twenty minuti of talking, me and Hutch left to take Runt home.
We again thanked Ethan for his help as I gave my dad one più goodbye hug. I couldn't be happier to be honest.
When we arrived at Runt's family's den, Humphrey and Kate were outside.
They told Runt to head inside as we were left with them.
"Thanks Runt for everything," I said.
"No problem," he detto before he was inside.
"So are we gonna be punished for insubordination," Hutch asked.
"No te guys and Runt didn't do anything wrong actually," Kate said.
"The reason we actually didn't kill King immediately was for the sake of your feelings, Princess," Humphrey said.
"Really," I asked.
"Yeah. When we saw how indifferent te were to meeting te father, we assumed te no longer cared for him," Kate said.
"Oh," was all I could say.
"Well all we can hope is that we made the right choice," Humphrey said. "Have a good night te two."
We all detto our goodbyes as me and Hutch left for our den.
"Hey Hutch," I said.
"Yeah," he said.
"Thanks," I detto licking him before we nuzzled.
"No problem darling," He said.
All I could say was that the world seemed completely peaceful that day.
So that was Chapter 36. I want to thank BlondLionEzel for some help on the idea's of this chapter. Also Hutch's backstory with his father was inspired da and spoilers for Persona 4 the Sun Social Link with Yumi Ozawa. Pretty much what happened in the chapter happened to her in the game with a few alterations. Hope te enjoyed this chapter and I will cya guys later
