đș Dominic's POV:
Ah. There he is. Sitting at the table like some overexcited toddler waiting for his mom to feed him.
Stupid Fucking Batboy!
"Okay, here," I grumble, dropping the plate in front of him. "I got you these cinnamon rolls last night, but whateverâI microwaved them. And here's your vampire-safe pancakes. Start devouring."
He stares at me. Big, round, Bambi-bat eyes full of silent pleading.
No. I will not fall for that look. Not again.
...Okay I'm falling.
Damn it.
"What now?" I snap.
He clasps his cold hands together. "Feed me!"
"CHRISTâ!"
THUMP.
He vanishes under the table like a startled cat.
"OH. Right. My bad," I sigh, dragging a hand down my face. "I forgot you're apparently allergic to names too."
His head pops out between my thighs. Hair fluffed. Eyes betrayed.
"You are the meanest wolf I've ever seen!!"
"You've seen other wolves?? Why?"
Okay. I am not jealous. That's ridiculous. Ok I am!
"Well, you're the first werewolf, duh. But I've seen normal wolves. I talk to them too. They have a good voting system in their packs!"
...WHAT??
"Okay. That doesn't count. Just eat." I shove the fork toward him with a piece of pancake. "I've gotta leave for college after this. Here. Open your mouth."
He scrunches his nose. Pouty.
Dramatic. Unmoving.
"I swear, if you don'tâugh, fine! I know how to handle this."
With a sigh, I give my head a few sharp shakes. My wolf ears snap out with a soft twitch.
His eyes go wide. Instantly intrigued.
"You can play with them," I mutter, "if you behave like a good little vamp and eat without throwing a glitter tantrum."
Bait: successful.
He jumps onto my lap like a freaking child, fingers already reaching up to tug and pet and... braid my ears?? What even is that sound he's makingâ
"Melm! Melm! Melm!"
What the actual hell.
While he's busy worshipping my ears like sacred fluffy relics, I use the moment to shove a forkful of pancake into his mouth.
He chews with fangs. Smiles with syrup. Wiggles on my lap like a goblin.
God.
How can a literal killing machine be such a clingy, needy, glittery baby with a wolf obsession?
And how am I...
...not even mad about it?
đ§Lean's POV:
Ahem. Let the record showâI was starving. Literally on the brink of starvation. Dying. Fading. Withering away.
And heâthat grumpy growly mean wolfâwalks in like some cinnamon-scented god of breakfast, dumps a plate in front of me, and tells me to devour.
How rude.
But I must admit... the cinnamon rolls did look divine. And those pancakes? Vampire-safe and still warm.
He remembered.
Sigh.
I gave him The Eyesâą. You know the ones. Big. Round. Soft. Pitiful.
Classic Bambi Bat Eyes.
He resisted. For like two seconds. Then cracked like a soggy pretzel.
"Feed me," I said sweetly. Because why not? It's romantic. Sensual. Intimate.
He screamed "C****Tâ!"
And I, obviously, being a refined creature of the night, dove under the table in dramatic horror.
I meanâhow dare he speak holy names at me so early in the morning!
He apologized. Kind of. Then insulted me. Then got weirdly jealous about the other wolves I've seen. HOT!
Yes, I've seen wolves. Talked to them. Played Uno with a few, WHICH THEY DEFINITELY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. That's not the point.
The point is...
He fed me.
And when I didn't obey instantly?
He shook out his ears.
His soft, twitchy, fuzzy big Dorito wolf ears.
Readers, I ascended.
Of course I jumped on his lapâ cause that's my damn throne. Of course I clutched his head like he was a living Build-A-Bear. Of course I started braiding his ear fluff and chanting "melm melm melm" like I was in a glittery trance.
Don't judge me.
In return, he shoved pancakes into my mouth. I chewed with my fangs. Smiled sweetly.
Let some syrup drip down like blood, just to make it seductive and dramatic. He coughs!
And maybe wiggled on his lap a little just to annoy him.
He sighed a lot. He growled a bit.
But he didn't push me away.
Not even once.
That's the thing about Dominic Quinn.
He pretends to hate me. But he's always making breakfast for two.
đșDominic's POV:
Agh! He is jumping on my lap! God I can't be horny now!! Save Me! I am using all powers a man can to hold down an erection!!! And stop blushing like a fool Dominic!!
Ok done Feeding I just held him by his waist and flopped him down on the chair, ok I am hard and I need to hide it, definitely he is gonna throw a fit!! Like dude how can you be so idiot! How you expect an alpha wolf in a rut not getting turned on by the rarest blond Vampire jumping on his lap!!!
Fuck you Vamps!!!
Ok before he throws a fit I must throw him away? No let's address the Elephant in the room!
"Agh! Just stop acting for a while and I need damn answers!!"
He looked at me like a damn innocent child who is definitely not a maniac and killed a town!
"Don't throw that look, I will not let you touch my tail if you don't answer!"
Ok that was the final blow! Vampire defeated!
"What you wanna know!!! I will answer anything I swear to devil! Puppers please don't do that to me"
He was about to pounce on me, but i facepalmed him!
"Where the fuck you went last night!!!"
Ok that was it! The talking machine started and never stopped!!
"Oh OK, so I...I you know you left your phone last day!"
"Did you touched it?" I asked?
"Just once and I swear to your tail I didn't broke into your phone!!"
Phew! God saved my Google history!
"OK continue!"
"So a notification came!"
Fuck let it not be one of my hookup bitches!!
"It was from your Momma!!'
Ok it I worse than I thought, and where the heck is that damn phone, I haven't even checked it!!
"What the Fucâ"
He starts again!
"Yeah so apparently, aunty blocked your credit card, and threatened to kinda disown you, and will be sending you allowance just to survive!!"
"She did what!!!!!!!!!!!
She can't be doing it!!!!
I have a reputation!!! I can't be living on scraps!!"
"Yeah I know right!! I can't let that happen!! You are my wolfie!! And it's my duty to take care of you!! And I will make sure you are always well feed chonky happy wolf!"
I chocked! My day is already getting worse!!
"OK so I went out to find a job! Hehe"
"You did what!!"
"You heard that right Puppers!!, ok so i went to a bakery 1st! And what can I do, they have damn snails and slugs there I thought a flamethrower will help, and yeah they ended up call fire department!!"
"What the fucking fuck!!"
"Yeah crazy right? Ok so then I went to a thrift store they kicked me out cause apparently employees can't try every blue and green stuffs"
"They do got a point though!"
"Shut up!! PUPPERS!!, ok then I went to a book store, they kicked me out cause I was crying over a emotional story of two bunnies in the kid section"
Yup only I can bare that ultrasonic cry now!
"Then I went too a Children day care center, all the kids were vibing well with me!â"
"Yeah kids with a big kid would definitely work!!"Â Hehe I love to annoy him, he looks cute getting annoyed like a rabbit throwing a Fit!
"I am no kid!! And the kids called me cool bro!
Until this Karen came and cursed me and called me mean names and told I am spreading homosexual sin to her overly fat snooty kid! And made his kid sneez on me, And chased me away! I swear I need to get some hell lava to clean myself. "
Ok lady you are dead no one calls my vampire! Agh! The vampire names except me!! I will hunt down your whole family!
"Then I went to a pet store, and the poor animals begged me to free them!"
"Tell me you didn't!" He obviously did why even I even asking!
"Yeah I did, so all the animals ran away gave me fuzzy kisses, but the shopkeeper went feral and started chasing me with rod, axe, gun and whatever and in no time I found myself chased by like a full marathon of people!"
GOD HELP ME I DONT WANT COPS TO SHOW UP AT MY DOORS, MOM WILL SURELY BUTCHER MY ASS AND TAIL!
"So this kitties from street and from the shop helped me to run, as they attacked the people and there was total chaos and the kitties helped me to run to a bush in children park, and gave me emotional support before they went to kick some dog's ass!"
Whatever he is saying! Is thus even possible? Am I hallucinating? Am I I'm coma for last 10 years and all this are my imaginations? Do I have a good family out of coma in real world? Am I even a man or woman!!!!! Wait are humans real? Am I an Alien? Or...or God? Or am I just someone's feaver dream?
I am having a existential crisis at this point!
"So again the moms in the park called me creep and chased me away! Finally I was on a lone bench grieving, that I couldn't find a job to support you, I am such a useless brat!"
Ok you got no rights to say that, I swear I will punch your face if you say something like that to yourself again!! You are not a useless brat! Spoiled? maybe a little!
But definitely not useless you helped me to come out as a wolf, you calmed me down, gave me a purpose to wake up another day after years of mental torment from the world, and....and you definitely changed me a bit!! You are not useless!
I am again seeing that 10 years old, happy maybe a chaos machine like you, Dominic before 7 years later I lost that guy! You are my Vampire! And that doesn't makes you useless!
I am the useless dumbfuck of a mutt that I am scared to scream my feelings, this thoughts into your pointy cute ears!
And I don't know why you even care for me, like isn't we supposed to be enemies? Why you care? Why you care to take up so much hustle just because a random werewolf with cursed language and ass attitude and total characterless fuckboy got cutoff by his mom for wasting money!
Damn I don't know why are you like this, so Lean, so annoying yet so perfect!
I don't deserve you, this world don't deserve such a pure undead soul like you, but I swear I will protect you till I am dead, and if you see another man, both of you will be dead! AND then I will die too, cause I can't think of a day away from you now.
Ok I am thinking too much that I zoned out! And the vampire screaming and clawing for attentionâ
"PUPPERSSSSSS!!!"
"YES! YES I AM LISTENING!'
"Devils! I thought you got a stroke!"
"Will get one soon sure Vamps!"
"I will slap you if you say that! And pluck out your fangs and make a scarf of your tail."
Bro you...fuck it never mind.
"Anyways then I was crying like a fool and then I guess Lord Luci and Big G heared me and throw this temple of saying
'ALPHA ELECTRONICS!
We repair phones, laptops, PCs, tablets, XBoxes, refrigerators, and more!
We are hiring! Daily pay based on work hours, performance, and customer reviews!'
And I was over cloud 9, I am genius in repairing stuffs, so I went there got into a beef with the shop owner's corgi! Anyway I apologized to bunbun, and got hired!!! I repaired many things and got great customer reviews and then the owner was too pleased with me and I got my first paycheck on like 100 dollars!!!"
I think my soul just left my body.
One moment I was mentally preparing to murder myself getting for cutted off, the next I was being told that this... chaotic vampire... went through seven different life-threatening sitcoms in under twelve hours just to get me money.
And now he's holding out his tiny, crumpled 35 dollars to me like it's the freakin' Holy Grail.
"TA-DAAAA!!! LOOK PUPPERS!! I GOT MONEYYY!!! I CAN BUY YOU MEAT!!"
He's grinning like he discovered fire. Or invented capitalism.
And me?
I'm blinking at the paper like it personally slapped me across the face with feelings.
"Y-You⊠you earned this?" I muttered like an idiot, staring at the '$35' like it was written in angelic script.
"But you said you got 100 dollars it's only 35!"
"Oh I got something for you way back home, I will show you in a minute!"
"What the fuck you got now! And how even you earned this"
"YEAH!!! I FIXED A REFRIGERATOR, TEN PHONES, THREE LAPTOPS, ONE TABLETS, AND A GRANNY'S VINTAGE SEXY-TIMER OVEN!!"
"Don't call it thatâ"
"She called it that!!!"
God help me.
NoâseriouslyâGod help me, because I might just start crying or propose to this moron or both.
"You idiotâŠ" I mutter, grabbing the money and then grabbing him and pulling him into my chest. "You absoluteâchaoticâderangedâstupidâperfect idiotâŠ"
He squeaks against my chest and immediately starts snuggling in like I'm a heated blanket that whispers affirmations.
"I just didn't want you to feel alone or broken or unloved or poorâŠ" he mumbles.
And that does it.
That's it.
I'm done for. I'm throwing in the towel. I'm surrendering to the Vampire War Criminal who thinks crying over bunny books and fighting corgis counts as job hunting.
My heart's gone.
Fucking taken.
I press my chin into his hair, breathing him in, feeling him shake slightly from exhaustion and excitement and pure sugar-fueled nonsense.
"You're the dumbest person I've ever met," I whisper.
"I love you too," he says instantly.
I freeze.
He freezes.
Silence.
Crickets? Nope. Werewolf in rut suddenly flatlining from overload? Yes.
"...What did you just say?"
He blinks up at me, suddenly looking like a deer caught in emotional headlights.
"I-I meanâI love your tail! Yeah! Your tail's so pretty and wooshy andâ"
"VAMPS!."
He makes a tiny choking noise.
"You just said you love me."
"...I also love cinnamon bread."
"..."
"...and meat."
"You're deflecting."
"I know."
"..."
"...You're not mad?"
"Vamps?"
"Y-Yeah?"
"Shut up and I hate you!! ."
"You don't mean that?"
"I am not answering your stupid questions! Show me what you got for me!, I have college in half an hour!"
đšâđ»Author's POV:
(Or whatever the hell kind of narrator I am at this point⊠God help us all.)
So what happened after that?
Dominic chased Lean around the house after he showed up with a massive Chewy bone and dog treats.
They fell on each other.
Dom cursed Lean.
Then cursed himself when he realized he actually liked the mango dog treats.
(Big dog energy, Dom. Embrace it.)
Anywayâhe stomped off for the college, blushing and cursing in equal measure, while Lean (after securing Officialâą Wolf Permission) trotted off to his new job.
Because let's be realâDominic will go broke if Lean doesn't intervene.
---
So...
That's where we'll stop for now.
A vampire who tried to burn capitalism with cinnamon bread.
A werewolf who learned how to feel again.
Two idiots who were never meant to meetâyet somehow, they did.
In between corgi fights and pancake offerings and sexy-timer ovens.
And for the first time in a long timeâŠ
Neither of them feels alone anymore.
Are they in love?
Yes.
Do they know how to admit they're in love?
No.
But that's a story for another season.
This was never just a romance.
This was grief. Healing. Found family.
A war criminal vampire who thinks fighting kitchen appliances counts as a résumé.
And a growly, grumpy cook wolf who's starting to realize maybeâjust maybeâ
He's not too broken to be loved.
And a broken boy who writes about them just to add a little love and smile to the world and himself.
Thank you for joining me for Season 1 of How to Tame Your Wolfie!!!
This world, these idiotsâthey've lived in my head for months now. Or more than an year to be honest.
And now, they've lived in yours too.
I hope they made you laugh. I hope they made you feel.
Because they sure as hell made me cry.
See you in Season 2.
Bring meat. And glitter.
We're not done yet.
Maybe some blood. Maybe some chaos.
Definitely some heartache. And love. đđ©žđ§žđș
[Meanwhile⊠under the full moonlightâŠ]
Something growls.
Something ancient.
And somewhere far from pancakes and mango dog treats,
a hunter sharpens their blade.
With love,
âEvander
