The white wolf let Cola pull it along, though it stayed tense and watchful. Slowly, they came closer.

Wind howled around them, whipping the snow into a white blur. The cold stung every patch of exposed skin and seemed to work its way deep into their bodies.

At the doorway, the wolf suddenly tried to bolt. Cola tightened his grip on its scruff and hauled it inside.

Nicole barely had time to process the fact that he brought a wolf home. They needed to close the doors.

She and Zeph struggled against the wind until they finally pulled both doors shut and slid the bolt into place.

With the storm shut out, the sudden quiet was a relief.

After more than ten minutes outside, Nicole’s ears rang, her chest felt tight, and she couldn’t quite catch her breath.

However, her attention went straight to the wolf. It crouched in a corner, watching Nicole, Zeph, and Poppy with wary amber eyes. Its lips curled back over sharp teeth.

Cola rushed over and pinned it down. He closed his jaws around its throat and growled. ↑

Nicole couldn’t decipher the sounds passing between them, but the message seemed clear enough: Cola wanted it to behave.

He didn’t bite down, and the wolf didn’t fight him. Once he let go, it backed into the corner again, still watching them but no longer baring its teeth.

Cola trotted up to Nicole with his ears flattened and his tail wagging.

She kept her hands to herself. She was still angry enough to give him far more than a swat.

Snow covered the floor, and the wind scattered their belongings everywhere. Their cozy home was a mess.

When Nicole refused to acknowledge him, Cola went to Zeph and whined.

Zeph looked from the dog to Nicole, at a loss. Normally, they could deal with Cola’s misbehavior themselves, but now, there was a wolf to worry about.

He studied it more closely, then frowned. “I think… She might be pregnant.”

The wolf was painfully thin everywhere except her swollen belly. She was either sick or pregnant.

Nicole’s mind went blank. Then she turned on Cola. “Cola! Did you get her pregnant?”

Zeph nearly choked.

Cola had no way to explain himself. He wagged his tail and pressed against Nicole, trying his hardest to get back on her good side.

“You think this is funny?” She caught him by the ears and gave him several swats. “You got her pregnant, and now you’re standing there smiling at me?”

For ten years, he showed no interest in finding a mate. Then he went straight to getting a wolf pregnant. Nicole could hardly believe him.

As she scolded him, the wolf drew back her lips. Her eyes fixed on Nicole, and she tensed as though ready to spring

Cola risked his life to bring her home, and now, she was ready to defend him. The two of them were clearly more attached than Nicole realized.

But Cola immediately turned and snarled at the wolf, cutting her off before she could move.

Nicole was furious, but throwing a pregnant animal into a blizzard wasn’t much of an option. Cola had brought her home, and now, Nicole had to deal with it.

Besides, he was clearly attached to her. If she sent the wolf away, he would probably follow.

Without realizing it, Nicole was acting like a rich mother determined to drive off her son’s girlfriend. All she needed was a check for a million dollars and a demand that the wolf take it and never see her son again.

None of them expected this. They thought Cola was lonely and wanted company.

Letting him play with a wolf seemed harmless enough, provided they got along and stopped hurting each other.

Apparently, their relationship went well beyond playing.

Then another thought struck Nicole: Cola only met this wolf a little over a month ago, and her belly was already noticeably swollen.

For all Nicole knew, her gullible boy was about to raise some other male’s pups. 1

She could feel a headache coming on.

Poppy took one look at Nicole’s face and decided against defending Cola. Instead, she quietly began picking up the things scattered across the house.

Even she had to admit he went too far this time.

Zeph knew what it was like to be in love, and he had some sympathy for Cola. “Wolves are pregnant for about two months. There can’t be many left out here in this weather, either. Besides, Cola’s smart. I don’t think he’s being fooled.”

“Are you sure about that?” Nicole demanded.

Apparently, the males in this family stuck together.

Zeph shifted under her stare and glanced at the wolf.

“Look at her. That white coat, without a single patch of another color. She’s beautiful, and she seems pretty proud. I doubt she’d settle for just any wolf. 1

“And Cola can do things even a trained military dog couldn’t. He’s hardly an ordinary dog.

“He’s never shown much interest in other dogs. It’s like none of them were good enough for him.

“I think they really like each other. That would explain how things moved so fast. Maybe they just found the right match.”

To Zeph, her willingness to come into a house full of humans said something. She must have trusted Cola enough to follow him. Even when he snarled at her, she backed down instead of fighting him.

They seemed devoted to each other, and she was clearly willing to let Cola take the lead. Zeph thought they deserved a chance.

Nicole, however, had two lifetimes of experience and wasn’t easily distracted by a flattering story.

“Wait. Is the beautiful, proud wolf supposed to be me? Are you trying to tell me how lucky I am to have such an impressive husband?” 1

Zeph choked on his water.

Trying to reason with her while she was angry was clearly a mistake. He decided to leave it alone.

Cola was her dog. Nobody loved him more than Nicole did.

Zeph joined Poppy in setting the furniture upright and putting their belongings back where they belonged.

Looking at the mess, he could hardly blame Nicole for wanting to give Cola a few swats. The dog managed to turn the whole house upside down.

At least the wind couldn’t blow straight through the container. If there were an opening on the other side, it might have carried off the furniture and everyone inside.

Nicole caught Cola by the ear, marched him over to the wolf, and took both animals into her storage space.

Poppy finally let out a breath. “Zeph, is Cola really gonna be a dad?”
