The Black Saint is My StalkerCh79 - The little thing

Han Li and Simone brought the little thing inside.

He already knew this was going to be bad news but damn, if Han Li was going to leave an injured puppy out in a snowstorm then he wouldn’t have a heart. Once its tiny body had been dusted of snow, it was apparent the little guy wasn’t in the best of shape. Not only was it very small and thin, but there was also blood matted in its fur and it walked with a distinct limp. BoNZCK

Simone cooed at it while cleaning its fur of the matted blood. She had the little puppy straddled in her lap while she sat on the couch. Han Li was feeling rather useless, looking around in their kitchen for food. Not only for the tiny pup but also for them. It was about time for breakfast and no one was about to do takeout with that kind of storm blazing outside. Han Li found some leftover stew and chicken. He took those out and heated them in the microwave.

The living room was filled with sounds of pathetic whimpering. Despite the newfound waft of meat, the little puppy cried loudly when the Han Li tried to approach.

“There, there lil’ guy,” Simone tried to hush it while the puppy scrambled with avid panic. “I know Li Han looks like a freak of nature or something, but I promise he’s a nice dude. Aren’t you?”

Han Li sighed, putting the food on the coffee table before taking a step back. “Nah, it’s cool I’ll just… chill over here.” With a sheepish smile, he parked his ass on the armchair and scooched it backward. Despite the space between him and the little wolf pup, the creature was quivering like a leaf in Simone’s lap, burying its face into Simone’s belly, as though it might be able to burrow into her and away from the world around it.

Simone scrunched up her nose, running her hand over soft downy fur in an attempt to calm the little thing. The puppy continued to whimper. “What did I say? I won’t let any of these clowns bring you any harm. Don’t cry, okay? You’re a big boy.”

Han Li frowned, wondering if it was better for him to leave. Animals never liked him much, but he was quite certain that this little wolf wasn’t a mere animal. And he didn’t really like the idea of leaving Simone alone with a werewolf pup. “I’m not going to hurt you,” he tried to reason with the thing. It should be able to understand what they were saying.

But the wolf acted as though it didn’t hear them, whimpering and burrowing itself in Simone’s arms.

It yelped loudly as footsteps sounded, wood creaked when Graham descended from the second floor.

For once, his attire was not purely black and the sweater that he wore had a slightly bluish tint. His eyes trailed over Han Li before zeroing in on the little white form shaking in Simone’s arms. “…Good morning. It seems that you are eager to get into trouble even in the early hours of the day,” he pointed out with merciless bluntness.

“Cry? Hm, have I ever made you cry, Han Li?” Graham gave her a strange look and Han Li outright choked.

“Simone what the heck? Stop being a troll. And Grams you need to stop fueling her buffoonery, there’s only so much I can take,” Han Li scolded them both. m3djn2

He managed to earn a small smile off of one Graham Astley and had to look away before embarrassment would take over. The Saint of Eternity while pleasantly amused by Han Li’s antics, wasn’t as impressed by the little creature nestled in Simone’s arms. He strolled up to her, causing the puppy to whine and whimper even louder. But there was nowhere to go. When it realized that the perceived threat wasn’t backing, the little pup proceeded to launch itself right out of Simone’s arms when she wasn’t holding it down securely.

Simone squeaked in surprise but the puppy didn’t go far. Graham plucked the thing right out of the air with a firm grasp secure around the scruff of its neck. A high screeching cry filled the room but Graham quickly took his other free hand to clamp down the puppy’s little snout, folding his arm around the creature to prevent it from squirming so much.

Simone seemed visibly distraught, “Let him go, he’s just a stupid kid who doesn’t know any better. He’s just scared.”

“I do not doubt that,” Graham nodded. “But his pack will soon come looking for him. I hope that you’re aware of the matter.” m4 r8d

Han Li jumped up from the armchair, approaching the Saint of Eternity from behind. He wore a deep frown and tried to peer at the struggling puppy in Graham’s grasp. “And who said we’re not going to give the puppy back to his pack? There’s a snowstorm outside, in case you didn’t notice. We’re just giving it a shelter for now, right Simone?”

“No,” Simone replied sharply, “We’re not going to give him back!” She leaped from her seat, not hesitating to claw the puppy right out of Graham’s hold. And the Saint of Eternity did not fight her, having enough sensibility to know that if he did, it would only end badly for the pup.

“Huh!?” Han Li exclaimed, “We’re not!?”

“No!” Simone repeated with a pout, “Where do you think this lil’ bud’s getting all his injuries from? I can’t just give it back to its pack when it’s being beaten up so badly!” Kkd2zA

“How do you even know the pup’s like that because of its pack?” Han Li retorted, nursing his head with his hand. “It could have…I don’t know, gotten into an accident with a bear or something in that snowstorm outside.”

Simone scrunched up her nose. She picked the puppy up from under its armpits and asked the wolf directly. “Hey little guy, do you want to back to your pack?”

For a moment there was silence, no reaction. The puppy had its tail tucked between its hind legs and was still trembling a little in Simone’s hold, but at least it wasn’t crying anymore.

Han Li was about to speak up when finally, the wolf actually shook its little head. Simone hugged the puppy close to her. “See?” UuEB2a

Han Li suddenly clasped his lips together, scowling in the realization that the injuries the puppy bore might actually be due to its own family members. The thought was sickening and left him feeling a subtle itch of vengeful rage.

Shit, no, he wasn’t going to think about that. Han Li reigned in his emotions and remained uncharacteristically quiet.

Graham quickly flitted a knowing glance towards Han Li before turning to gaze towards Simone once more. He folded his arms over his chest. “While I understand your reasoning, what will you say the wolves that will sooner or later show up at our doorsteps? That you refuse to return their puppy?”

As if on cue, the storm seemed to quell just a little, the violent winds quieting enough to hear the chorusing sound of wolf howls in the background. The puppy cried, curling up against Simone’s chest. Han Li had never seen the girl look so helpless before. “We can’t just give a kid back to his abusive parents, can we? That’s just another form of negligence!” 4WLwpr

Graham did not hold back on his punches. “If said parents are fully grown werewolves who are capable of ripping you to shreds with little effort, would you still dare to stand up to them?”

“Graham,” Han Li spoke up, “don’t be a dick.”

“I’m being truthful.”

Just then commotion could be heard from upstairs. Mark’s chirpy and bubbly voice could be heard alongside soft, grumbling yawns. “Wow, seems like a party down here!” Mark waved as he descended the steps with Kevin sleepily following. VSfyOt

“I’ll go make us some breakfast.” Simone quickly took the opportunity to make her escape, quickly ducking into the kitchen at the couple’s arrival.

“Wow uh, did we interrupt something?” Mark tilted his head with a frown, not quite catching the sight of a puppy in Simone’s arms.

He looked between the three of them and decided to go chase after Simone who had begun busying herself in the kitchen. Kevin took about zero interest in the entire situation and instead parked himself on the couch without even a greeting.

Han Li was about to experience a terrible headache from the entire situation, “I get what you’re trying to say but did you really have to be a dick about it?” Rt yjC

Graham did not respond right away, his expression was once again completely blank without even a hint of sympathy or remorse. “Han Li,” he spoke up eventually, “Are you aware of how state-sanctity works for werewolves?”

“What?” Han Li blinked, confused at why Graham would be steering the conversation in such a direction. Sharp eyes met his own, their depths inciting a chill down his spine. He knew the answer, but at the moment, he just wasn’t thinking about it. Or rather, he probably had forgotten about it to maintain his own sanity.

“If one pack member were to break non-aggression laws against a civilian or hunter, the entire pack would have its sanctity revoked. And we, as hunters on the scene, would be obliged by law to execute the entire pack on sight. Including the puppy.”

  1. Well, yeah, as much as I love small (werewolf)puppies, in this case, I agree with Graham. The puppy might be cute, helpless and all, but giving it back to it’s pack is better than having to exterminate the said pack because it would want to take the puppy back by force. It sounds like being a dick, and Simone might have really hard time understanding, but this little puppy has to go back. And did Graham just reveal their identity in front of civilians?

    Thank you for the chapter!!!

    • TT___TT;; picking between the lesser of two evils, i-it’s tough.
      Ahahaha! He did but there’s no real rule about that o w o generally speaking though, as a culture, “normal people” try not to mix too much with anything or anyone that deals with the supernatural.

      Thank you for readinggg !! <3 <3

  2. bluish tint in Graham’s clothing? AMAZING

    Simone: “he’s just a stupid kid who doesn’t know any better” so she can tell??? she’s soft for werewolves? 😏

    those non-aggression laws are pretty bad, if a human is aggressive to other creatures, I bet the entire group of humans isn’t executed on sight

    • WEEPS I need to give him more variation…j-just a little.
      LMFAOOOO T___T;; s-she has a heart under her super loud obnoxious personality??

      And yeah definitely
