Chapter 3: Chapter 3: mix of human
He had the canines of a wolf and even his molars were sharper than a human and he knew wolves better than most.
Those were the teeth of a wolf, but his own teeth seemed a mix of human and wolf.
'Weird. If I bite myself won't I lose my tongue? What are these people saying now?'
He focused on the woman next to him as she spoke
"Mrs. Hyoudo, Mrs.
Hyoudo, are you sure that you want Alexander? He is not a bad kid, it is just that he is very unique. First of all, he does not sleep much at all.
He is pale and his eyes are ice blue like those of a husky if I am being honest
He is also extremely quiet and rarely talks to anyone. Not even the other children.
"
Gorou looked at Alexander who was petting the puppy in his hands.
"If we judged the kid because of how he looks would that not mean we would be terrible parents? Can I just ask what the puppy in his hands is? It does not look like a dog totally? Bigger too?"
The woman sighed.
"It is a wolf pup. Alexander once went into the woods and came out with him in hand.
We want to take the pup into a sanctuary, but he refuses. We think he will run away if we force the issue.
"
For the first time, Alexander spoke up in Japanese.
"You don't have to think. It is just a matter of fact.
"
She sighed as while Alexander was just 12, he was far more mature than his age suggested. That was before they were dealing with Alexander Canis someone who clawed their way up from the dirt.
"Alexander, you need to stop thinking like that. You do not need to survive any longer.
We just want to help you. "
Gorou and Miki did not know what she meant by that. Gorou looked at the woman who was in charge of Alexander for questions.
"Survive?"
She sighed as she patted Alexander's pitch-black hair. The only thing weird about it is that he had dark purple streaks all over it.
"He was found when he was 8 years old. Four years ago, but he had already been growing up on the streets.
He lived on the streets for who knows how long so he does not trust people. He thinks he still needs to rely on himself exclusively.
I sometimes feel it is a pity he had to grow up like that. "
Alexander felt his life was the same as his old one.
'This feels like my first life. Only I never got adopted as I chose to raise myself.
What to do?'
While he did that he ran his hands down Ragnarock's fur. The woman next to him sighed.
"He needs to go to a sanctuary Alexander. "
Alexander shook his head as he hugged Ragnarock who snuggled up to him.
"I am not giving him up. He comes with me or not at all.
"
Just as she was going to tell him he was making a mistake as no one wanted to adopt him for his mutations. She did not want to say it, but so far very few families wanted someone like Alexander.
He was just not 'normal' and some felt he was part wp
Miki smiled and spoke up.
"It's fine, what is a puppy. "
The woman shook her head.
"Miss, it is not a dog. It is a wolf and he bit the last person who tried to take it from him.
"
Alexander knew that with the kind of teeth, he had the damage must have been heavy. Gorou looked at Ragnarock and sighed.
"You know what, we will still like to adopt him. He seems like a good kid, and his pet is still small.
If we can have a professional trainer for him, we will see how this goes. Alexander, I want to know what you think of this.
"
He looked at both Miki and Gorou and sighed.
"As long as my friend can come with me. He is all I have.
"
The woman sighed before she agreed.
"If they agree so be it, but please consider what is best for his sake. You can't tame a wolf.
"
He scoffed as no one was better at taming and training wolves. Plus, Ragnarock is not a normal wolf anyway.
"Where do your dogs come from? Of course, you can tame wolves, otherwise, dogs would not exist right now.
She still did not know how this was a 12-year-old kid with the way he spoke. In the end, he was accepted to be adopted.
When he got out of his chair he bowed to both of them as he knew that much from his business deals.
Now that he stood up he realized he was already 5'6
'My growth is just as fast as before. I was a tall man in so I am glad that is carrying over.
'
Miki patted Alexander on the head as she smiled.
"Your hair is really soft. Like fur.
"
Alexander chuckled upon hearing that.
"I take after the best. "
He raised Ragnarok a little to show him off. Miki played along with his comparison.
"I see that you do. "
She felt he would be a good big brother to her baby, but she also wanted to give him a home. They felt they needed to give him a home as one of their friends who volunteered at the orphanage talked about Alexander like he was a good boy that was lonely.
His only friend was the wolf cub and he only had it for two weeks.
"Thank you, but why me? I am not normal, I am not cheerful, and most certainly not childlike. I am almost a teen after all.
"
Gorou just kindly smiled.
"Looks are not why we want to be parents. I know you can't see us as your parents, but we hope we can make you happy at least.
"
'He is a good man. '
