He Hated Me First
I glanced around, no scent of a mother, no pack nearby, nothing that suggested she had been cared for.
Someone left her here.
Someone abandoned her.
When I reached toward her, she tensed, tiny fangs showing.
“It’s okay,” I whispered again. “You’re safe.”
She didn’t believe me.
Honestly, I didn’t blame her.
I took a breath and leaned closer, keeping my voice low. “I know what it feels like to be left behind.”
Her trembling stopped for a second. Her ears twitched.
Very slowly, I touched the ground between us with my fingertips. Not her, just the ground, letting her sniff the air, letting her choose whether to trust me.
