You wake to the sound of howling wolves, again. 

"Buy a house up in the mountains of Beacon Hills" they said, "It'd be peaceful" they said.

No. 

This was the third night in a row that you had been woken up in the middle of the night from wolf howls coming from your neighbour and you have had enough. 'I'll go talk to them tomorrow.' You think to yourself before rolling over in your bed, pulling the covers over your head and falling asleep again.

You walk up the dirt path to your neighbours house and knock a couple of times. 

"I'm around the back!" You hear a man shout.

You furrow your brows and walk around the side of the house and you see a man laying on his lawn, puppies crawling over his torso, a smile plastered on his face that showed his perfectly straight, white teeth. 

You couldn't help but smile at him. A grown man, with puppies crawling all over him... And you thought your old neighbours were odd. 

"Oh, your the new neighbour, right?" He plucks the puppies from his chest and places them on the grass beside him then sits up. 

You nod, "I was just wondering, do you hear wolves howls of a night? They always seem to come from your house..." You give him another smile. 

He seems to think about it for a moment before shaking his head, "Must be another neighbour."

You stand there awkwardly for a moment before he finally speaks up, "Do you want to meet the babies?" 

You happily agree and walked over, joining him on the grass. 

"What kind of puppies are they?" You ask, reaching around and picking up a puppy that was clawing at your back. 

"Oh..." He looks down at the puppies in his lap for a second before looking back up at you, "They're uh, not dogs. They're wolves." 

You look at him in disbelief and he gives you a hesitant smile. 

"Why do you have wolf pups then?" 

"I went for a walk this morning and found them, their mother was dead..." 

You look down at the pup in your hand, "Your going to raise them?" 

He gives you a nod, "My friends say I have a thing with wolves. And a guy I know is a vet, he'd help me out if I needed it." 

"Could I help?" You ask, placing a pup back onto the grass. 

"Of course! Plus I'd really love to get to know you more." He flashes you one more toothy grin. "I'm Derek, by the way." 

"(Y/N)." You smile and the two of you spend the rest of the day laying in the grass and getting to know each other more.
