While Kate hadn't a single clue as to where she was going (or where she was, to begin with), going anywhere was obviously a better idea than staying put. Since they were in unfamiliar territory, she didn't know what to expect. There could be bears, other wolves and even more humans in the area, so they were going to have to take things slowly and carefully. Sure, other wolves could be a source of information, but an entire pack chasing after you would most likely be worst than a few bears.
The alpha instinctively slowed down when Humphrey called out to her, having not done so earlier because she was certain that he was following her the entire time. As playful and mischievous as the omega had been as a puppy (and still was, even as a young adult), she also remembered how they used to support each other when they were little. "I knew you'd understand." As unlikely as the idea of Humphrey not taking something as a joke might sound to some wolves, she wasn't surprised that knowing what was going on made him act more seriously. While Humphrey may not have been trained to deal with this sort of situation, just hearing him say that they were going to be back in time was enough to raise her confidence a little. "Thanks..." she said, smiling.
Kate couldn't estimate exactly what the odds of them getting home were (and before it became too late, too) but she shared Humphrey's attitude. They were going to get home in time because they had to. Because there were two packs depending on their return. Therefore, as slim as the chances looked, she preferred failing while trying and doing her best rather than by simply giving up. Giving up wasn't what she'd been trained to do in Alpha School. "First we need to figure out where we are." she said after a short silence. "Getting out of these woods should give us a good point of view of the area."
