When A Wolf's In Love | Ame x Reader

Chapter 4

I shook my head rapidly. 'Come on, (Y/n), you just met him! Get yourself together!'

Meanwhile, Ame tilted his head and spoke, "I thought me and my sister were the last Japanese werewolves."

My brother leaned out from behind me to get a better look at Ame. I replied, "Well, we thought that we were the last ones as well. It's good to know that isn't the case."

I glanced at the boar on the ground and then back at Ame. "Well, we were just going to bring this back home to eat. Want to accompany us? Mom and dad aren't home yet."

My brother's eyes brightened and he grinned. "Nee-chan's cooking? Yes!"

Ame's face broke into a small smile at the scene and nodded. "Sure."

With that, we started walking towards the house me and my family now called home while Ame insisted he carry the boar. Anyway, it wasn't that long of a walk.

When we reached the house, I opened the door and walked to the kitchen. "Leave the boar on the counter; I'll make the food." Ame nodded and left the prey where I told him to. After that, he leaned against the wall and watched my movements.

I skinned the boar and started making the meal. I wasn't planning on having another person eating with us, but it wouldn't hinder what I wanted to make.

Half an hour or so later, the smell from the now ready meal had Ame's nose twitching and it also drew my little brother into the kitchen.

I chuckled and carried the food to the table. Ame quickly came and helped me, saying, "Here, I'll help you."

I gave him a small smile and replied, "Thanks."

We soon had the table all ready. I sat down on my usual place while (B/n) sat in his. Ame chose a random spot and sat down. "It's been a long time since I had a meal like this..." I heard him mumble.

I was curious, but decided not to talk in favor of eating. (B/n) did the same.

A few minutes later, we all had finished eating. I brought all the dishes to the sink and started washing them with Ame's help while (B/n) was sitting outside staring at the moon. Ame looked like he was remembering something. He commented quietly, "Your cooking is good."

I paused my actions and smiled at him. "Thank you. My mother is usually the one cooking, though." I replied equally as quiet as him.

While I was washing the dishes and he was drying them, I could feel him occasionally glance at me. After a few moments, he finally decided to speak, "Can you tell me more about your family? I didn't know there were more werewolves."

I hummed and then replied to his question, "Well, it started with my parents. My dad is a werewolf, but my mom is a human.

"My mother met my father. Some time after they met, they started dating, and it wasn't long before my dad revealed to her that he wasn't completely human. She said she had been quite shocked at the time, but she loved him too much to care much about it.

"Some time later, they married and had me. Eight years later, my little brother came along. He's only nine, not an adult yet. Despite him getting closer to adulthood, I care about him a lot." I said the last sentence more quietly so my brother wouldn't hear. What I said wasn't exactly a secret, though.

As I was finishing talking, I had no more dishes to wash. I had dried my hands and leaned against the sink as I talked. Ame also finished drying the dishes not long after.

He glanced at me again. This time his gaze stayed on me longer. "What happened with my parents is almost the same. I have a sister that's a bit older than me. But, my dad died the same day I was born while hunting for food."

I was shocked because of his story and because he actually told me about it when we just met. I also wasn't sure why I spilled my entire family situation to him, but I felt a sort of connection to him that made me trust him.

"That's... It must not be very pleasant talking about it. Why did you tell me, then? We just met." I said.

He looked outside and replied, "I don't know. I just felt like I could tell you."

I gave him a smile. "Well, thank you for telling me." He shook his head as a sign that it didn't matter and I left it at that.
