My New Puppy

*"Can't you just come today?" Mom as always trying to make me feel bad about studying in another country. It's not like I wanted to leave them, I just wanted to travel, you know."Mom, I promise I'll come during the weekend then.""But that's so far." She whined making her voice a little cracky."Leave that boy alone. You're the one who wanted him to become a doctor." I heard my father saying in the back. I chuckled to myself."But I never wanted him to study in a different country. I want my baby back.""Mom, I'm getting off the train now. We'll talk later.""Alright. Be safe okay and stop being too nice to people. You're gonna get yourself into trouble one day.""Mom, you're being paranoid. There's no such thing as being too nice.""Still, be careful.""I will. Bye.""Bye. Love you.""Love you too, mom." I hung up. I sighed after getting out of the station. It's like a 10 minute walk to my house so I get daily exercise everytime I go home after classes.Tonight seems like a very p

*It took me a hot second to process what I just saw. Did I really see a wolf right now? And it was on top of me?! Nah, maybe I'm still drunk from sleep.I slowly opened the door a little. It's on the bed. It's staring at the door. It tilted it's head. I shut the door again then started panicking. Why is it in my house?! I'm freaking afraid of dogs. Why did it have to be a wolf instead of a cat?! Then it bark making me jump.Bad idea but I opened the door. It's just sitting there staring at me. I slowly and carefully approached it. Right before I got close to it, it barked again scaring me again. "Alright, alright. I get it."I tried again, slowly approach it. It's not attacking me, weird. I thought wolves attack prey. Maybe they attack only when they feel threatened or hungry. I reached out to it expecting to get bitten but it just brought it's head into my hand. I can't believe this, I'm patting a wolf. And a big one at that. To be honest, it's kinda cute. It's fur is grey and wh

*A tongue licking me woke me up. It's Lupus. I'm in bed. How did I get here? Wait, what happened? Right after looking at Lupus I remembered what I saw. Was it a dream?"Lupus? Were you human?""Woof.""No way, I probably was dreaming. There's no way you turned into a human. Right?" He licked my face again.It's already 11pm. "Wanna go out again?""Woof!""Let's go then."I changed into my exercise clothes then we left. It didn't take long to get to the woods. He wondered off. I'm hoping he won't run too far because I won't be able to find him.Did I really dream that Lupus was human? And he turned into that guy? But what if it wasn't a dream? Then, am I living with a beast?"Woof woof!" I heard Lupus howling in the woods. I ran in without a second of thinking."Lupus, what's wrong?" I found him with a rabbit in his mouth. Gross! I almost barfed. "You know what, I'm not gonna say anything. Enjoy your late night snack." I went back out to the street.It actually feels nice going for a

* While waiting for Lupus I decided to do some light stretches. "Keylan!" Mike again. He came jogging over to me. "Hi." He stopped right in front of me panting really hard. "Mm, hi." "What are you doing here? Do you also jog using this route?" "Um, yeah. S-sometimes." Lupus please don't come out now. "Okay. Then, are you taking a break now?" I nodded while checking the woods for Lupus. "Wanna jog together?" "Um, no thanks. I'm waiting for someone." "Someone? Who?" "No one." Just leave me alone, person! "O-kay. Then, I'll leave you to it. See ya." He continued his jog away from me. Lupus came right after, in wolf form and with a rabbit in his mouth. "Jesus!" I jumped in shock after seeing all the blood in his mouth. "Woof!" "Why did you- oh my God." For a second there, I forgot I live with a predator. "Just finish your snack before we go back." I turned my back on him but I could still hear him rip the meat off the poor rabbit. We went back after he was done eating. His fac

* Five months passed and nothing much changed. Holland and I became friends again but we're not as close anymore. Mike is still trying to get back with me no matter how much I reject him. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HIM! Ever since that night, Lupus always wants to hold me everytime we sleep. It still doesn't feel right but I also got used to it. It's really soothing listening to his heartbeat as a lullaby. But on specific nights he'd leave me sleeping and go somewhere. I don't know where though. He'd return early in the morning looking exhausted and worn out. I don't ask anything though. I just go with the flow. But that doesn't mean I'm not curious. Right now I'm heading home from writing a Math paper. I was NOT prepared. I'm sure I'm not gonna pass 70%. I'll maybe get 66%. "Can I walk with you?" Mike spoke from the back. As usual, I ignored him until we got to my mailbox. He held my hand before I could walk to the door. "Why don't you just accept me back? You're single and I'm single
