"I will not be used to killing animals. But at least you feel better." Lincoln was playing with the wolf, who had already trusted the boy after he saw how he was fed and sponsored. The wolf got up, licked Lincoln's face, and left his hair strand standing. "Hahaha, you are a nice giant, right?" Lincoln scratched the wolf's chin, which lied on his stomach, until Lincoln stroked his stomach. You are not a monster. You just care about your home. I know how you feel about protecting your place. But while you are here, who protects your place?"
Suddenly, he heard a loud sound, and the wolf responded to the howling.
"It seems that they covered you"
The wolf rubbed his head against Lincoln's body.
"I also admire you, Wolf. Although we're going to become friends, I cannot continue to call you a wolf... I will give you a name. But... what can it be? The wolf he saw years ago. Was you? Or are you from his descendants?"
The wolf licks Lincoln's face again.
"I will consider it yes. Well, it will be something in white. Snow white? No, it's a girls name. Ghost. Nop"
During thinking, Lincoln feels a cold current.
"Burrrr... how cold it is" the wolf wraps his body around Lincoln as if it were a puppy. "Wow, how exciting! Who needs fire when you have a wolf weighing three hundred pounds? Hmm. Flame? I like that; it sounds tough. From now on, your name will be White-Flame; do you like it?"
The wolf howls in approval.
"Well, that will be your name from now on"
The White-Flame licks Lincoln's face again. "No, no, it's disgusting, dude"
-The end of the flashback-
"This is the whole story."
The tears of the Loud family were in their eyes, and some could not hide their amazement. Especially Albert, who did not know what his grandson should do to treat him.
"So... is this wolf like your pet?" Lori asked.
"It is more than just a pet. He's my friend"
"Can he stay, mom?" asked Lily.
"Daughter, it's a wild animal. It is huge. Where can we put him?"
"He can stay at the grandfather's house. It is huge," Lincoln suggested.
"Do you want to have this wolf in our house?" Mertel was somewhat skeptical of this idea. More because it will be impossible to care for such a large animal. In addition, they had to make sure that the neighbors had not seen him.
"It is okay. The wolf is very bound. And don't worry about the food. What I gain from my work, I can buy meat for him every day."
"It will be interesting to be able to study this animal to get more detail."
Lana and Lily made the puppy's eyes. Their parents could not do anything when their daughters did that.
"It does not depend on us, girls. The wolf belongs to Lincoln and remains with his grandparents. The decision is up to them."
Albert and Mairtel looked at each other, then saw the wolf and its compatibility with their grandchildren. More than a monster, it looked like a home puppy.
"Well, if Lincoln says he can take care of him, I think this is good," Albert agreed. But the approval of his partner was missing. "What do you think, my love?"
Martel thought for a moment, until the White-Flame licks her cheek. "It seems very friendly. Well, Lincoln. You can get it."
"Yes!" Lincoln, Lana, and Lily shouted in harmony, followed by a joyful shout from White-Flame.
"Welcome to the Loud family, friend." Lincoln played with the wolf when he jumped on him and began to lick his face.
The family was very excited. After the deaths of their pets in that fire, Lily and Lana were not the same as before. But when they saw how happy their daughters were, they thought it might be a good idea. Even if it isn't at home, they can always go visit the wolf.
When the family was associated with the new pet, Leni went out to the backyard to get some fresh air and stay alone with her ideas. The girl was looking at the stars longing when she heard one of them speaking.
"How do you feel?"
She turned, Leni saw that it was Lincoln. The boy handed her sterile wipes. Leni accepted and took one because she still smells the smell of the cigarettes that this man left on her face with that lick.
"Thank you, Linky." Leni began to wipe her cheek.
"How long has this town been full of deviants?" Lincoln complained. Well, while he is here, they have already wanted to offend his sister three times.
"You shouldn't have done that. They could have killed you."
"But they did not. Besides... I don't want another pig to try to touch you again." Lincoln is approaching Leni and embracing her from behind. "It makes me more than crazy to think of another person wanting to touch you. I don't even want to think about it. I don't want it." Lincoln begins kissing Leni's neck while he caresses her head. The boy had been holding himself back for several days about his desire to be with Leni. He believed that she was acting distant with him these days so that she did not raise suspicions. "I love you, Leni"
What followed baffled Lincoln.
"Stop. We cannot do this," Leni said, looking very upset.
"I am sorry, Leni. I know you are angry at me, but"
Before he ended, Leni said "No, Lincoln. I mean, we cannot do this. We are siblings."
"I know, but... I cannot stop thinking about what we did on that day."
"That day was a mistake. My mistake. I should never force you to do that."
"Leni, you did not force me to do anything."
"It is better to forget that, Lincoln. Believe me. It will be the best."
Lincoln hung his head, discouraged, and turned towards the house. Not without saying something last first. "But... what if I don't want to forget it?"
"Then I will leave and never come near you again."
Lincoln enters the house sad while leaving Leni alone in the yard. The girl embraced herself, and tears soaked in her face. "I'm sorry, Linky. But this is the best for you."
"I don't want you to put yourself at risk again for me. I prefer to see you alive, even if it hurts me not to be with you. Instead of not seeing you again."
"Because I love you"
