The pup

After receiving the detention I walked over to Jacob's car. He wanted me to help him pick out something for Alisha. It was quite strange he was wearing a hood and handed me my own jacket this warned me that we weren't really going for something for Alisha at least not yet. I pulled up the mask he gave me and got into the car with him without saying a word. We went deep into the forest roads until we stopped at a cave. I took a sniff of the air and smelt a pup. Jacob having realized I'd already taken in the scent looked at me.

"I found him bleeding and unable to move. I couldn't bring him home so I left him here after leaving food and a blanket for him. I thought I'd let a professional take care of him." He said and I could hear his soft panting. I walked towards the entrance of the cave where the pup was curled up in the blankets. He recoiled when I approached him scared because he realized that I was also a wolf like him.

"I'm not going to hurt you," I said extending my palm for him to smell. His fur was grey but on the tip of his tail and paws were white except for one which was covered in blood. He drew closer to me and allowed me to pick him up. I tried not to hurt his paw as I carried him back to the car. Petting him to calm his uneasiness.

I got into the backseat of Jacobs car and placed his gently onto my lap still stroking his soft fur.

"I'll take him home." I said to Jacob as he too got into the car. He started the engine and the pup started to whine scared of the engine. I continued to pet him holding him closer so he'd know he was being comforted.

Jacob soon pulled up onto my driveway and I got out grabbing my bag and carefully take the pup in my arms.

"I'll see you around little guy." Jacob says as he scratched behind the pup's ears only to receive a lick of gratitude.

"Bye see you tomorrow." I said waving to Jacob as he sped out of my driveway. I opened the door and was greeted with the smell of freshly baked cupcakes.

I placed the pup upstairs in my bed. He whined to me and I pet him even more telling I'd be right back. I walked back down the stairs and grabbed two cupcakes and brought them up to my room. I found the pup in human form shivering. He looked up to me and smiled. I walked over to my drawer and took out a small shirt and pants and handed it to him. He said thank you and proceeded to place on the clothes. His then took one of the cupcakes and began to eat.

"How old are you ," I asked eating my own cupcake.

"I'm seven." He says once he's finished eating.

"Where are your parents?" I ask finishing my own.

"Dead slaughtered by Milgrow pack a few days ago." he says like it was nothing.

"That's at least a state away. How did you get here in so fast when you're hurt." I say looking at him shocked. Pups don't heal as fast as adult so it wasn't weird that he wasn't healed yet.

"Two rogues helped me. They smelt a lot like you." He said and my eyes widened.

"What happened to them?" I asked frantic knowing it might have been my parents. They were gone for a few days but if my mother wasn't back, who made the cupcakes and who left them in my house? I start to ask myself.

"They told me to run and I did as a group of wolves climbed on them i didn't look back because my parents were killed the same way." He said.

"What pack are you from?" I then ask.

"Dark Night Moon pack." He says

Why would the Milgrow pack attack the Dark Night Moon pack. There were two of the most peaceful packs I knew.

"Where there any survivors?" I ask panicking.

"From my pack no." He says.

"You can stay here." I tell him and he says thank you. As much as I wanted to admit he was not a pack less wolf. Judging by his strength he was an a pack less alpha wolf.

I got up and walked downstairs and he followed me. He sat at the kitchen table eating more of the cupcakes as I moved around getting meat and a few iron rich vegetables and begin cooking for the two of us. My mind was preoccupied with worry and fear that my parents were probably dead. The question remained constant, why were they out there so far and why did the Dark Night Moon pack attack a kill all the Milgrow pack members.
