The Wolf

𓃥

The afternoon sun had been completely replaced by the darkness of the night. It was pretty quiet outside as usual, Aislee was settled against the couch with the TV and fireplace on. Eyes lazily staring at the screen as it becomes the only bright lights illuminated the room because the clock showed its already past one a.m. so she must turn off the lights and get ready to sleep.

Aislee decided that she choose to sleep on the couch tonight and she don't know till when because she has a dog— not technically a dog— to take care of. It was laying on the wooden floor close to the fireplace, breathing heavily with both eyes closed. The woman gave him raw meat on the bowl but she peered and noticed it was still untouched.

"Goodness calm down— I'm coming!" Aislee screamed, hoping its loud enough to hear for whoever someone at the door. "Dad is that you?" 

Hearing no answer, the woman decided to bring her shotgun as she took a walk against the door for safety. Aiming it at her chest high until—

"Oh " Her body immediately froze as her eyes caught the big ball of fur sitting at the front door, currently staring at her. "Damn you healed fast"

"You won't hurt me, right? I helped you yesterday" The white-greyish wolf just continues to stare at her innocently— but no matter how cute it looks, Aislee still has a fear currently running towards her blood because there's no way she was this close with a beast in her own territory. And most importantly, how could she not notice when it walked to your door? 

"What do you want? You
