once upon a time... when you were only 8 or 9 at the time, you had stumbled over a well in the forest while playing hide and seek with your siblings. curiosity got the cat and you went over it but before you could go any closer you felt something tugging at the back of your shirt, making you freeze in fear

you turned around only to see a puppy..? no. it was a wolf, a young one but a wolf nonetheless, he didn't dare to harm you the moment you turned away from the well the grey wolf moved back himself, sitting down with his tongue sticking out which caused you to hesitantly pet his head.

since that day, you had gotten older yet you never saw that wolf in the forest again although everytime you went there you felt eyes on you.

..

it was your friend's sweet 16, being the only daughter of two very wealthy figures the girl already owned multiple properties, which now included the forest you once stumbled across, the girl loved nature so her parents bought her some land there and built a vacation home, which was where the party was

you were outside, looking for another friend only to find her further in the woods clearly up to something with a boy, you decided to give the two some space and walk back inside-- but as you did you bumped right into someone and they sure as hell weren't from your school

"oh im sorry-" you apologized with a frown, hesitantly taking his hand as you stood up on your feet before taking a few steps back. "sorry to ask- who are you?"

"i was only passing by." the boy excused, avoiding eye contact all cost.. almost as if he was afraid you'd recognize him- but who was he?. the boy couldn't let you know anything, you meant too much for him

but he surely wasn't just passing by, no. he was upset the place his pack had been settled down safely for centuries was now being used for humans and their stupid parties, he was a teenager now but the pack had younger wolves. he couldn't risk their safety and or expose himself just because he cant control himself around some human he managed to get himself attached to
