(Y/n)'s POV
"Three pups," Anakin sighed as we all looked down at the three siblings who were playing with each other on my closet floor, "What are we going to do with three pups?" He turned to look at me and I bit the inside of my cheek in thought.

"We are going to have to find someone to care for them, someone who will not harm them," I bent down and gently began to pet the white one, she was beautiful and probably my favorite out of the three. It had something to do with her white coat, it reminded me of a blanket of snow, and if there is anything I love more than my adventures in the woods — it is the beauty of snow.

Ahsoka had joined us moments after Anakin and I returned, and she knelt down next to me to pet the mixed colored one. The full black was hard to pet since he constantly tried biting our hands, he was tearing apart the dress I had them laying on as well. It is clear he is the rambunctious one of the litter, but he seems to have taken a liking to Anakin.

It rushed away from the group and attacked his boots, gnawing at the material with his growing fangs. Anakin glared down at it and started to lift his foot like he was going to shake it off, "Get the fu-"

"Be nice to him, he is only trying to play with you," I said as I grabbed the one I was letting and held her on my lap. She looked up at me and started to lick my chin, making me giggle.

I saw from the corner of my eye as Anakin set his foot back down, before bending over to pick up the pup that began to squirm in his arms, "Unless you want to be squished by them, I would advise that you stop trying to eat my boots," He told the pup as he brought it close to his face with an intimidating stare. It instantly calmed down and stared back at him in silence, not even a whine was let out, "Good boy, now go to sleep," He set the baby wolf onto the floor and it casually walked back to the closet and laid down. All of us watched in bewilderment as Anakin smiled in triumph when the pup closed its eyes, "Maybe they are not as dumb as I thought."

Piett knelt down next to Ahsoka and gently moved around the multi-colored wolfs fur like he was looking for something, "They do not appear to have any bugs or infections, they look like they are in perfect health," He smiled as he shifted his gaze between all of them, "If it is alright with you Princess, I will gladly watch over them until we find a safe and permanent solution. They will be safe and well taken care of with me, I promise you."

I could not find anyone more perfect and trustworthy than Piett for this task. So I was more than happy to agree, "Very well," I stood up and fanned out my ball gown that I had to rush to put on after bringing the pups in. The ball starts in a little less than thirty minutes, meaning I should be expecting my mother in fifteen minutes if I do not go down myself. Which I should, seeing as if she comes up here I highly doubt she would look past the three wolves, "I am sure there is room for them in one of the open pens in the stables, but do try to be discreet when getting them out. Anakin and I must go downstairs to the ball. The Queen is likely waiting for me," I rolled my eyes, I absolutely loathed this.

But I will admit I was excited to see Anthony again, he was interesting, normal, and far from boring. Plus he was exceptionally handsome.
