Chapter 4

Y/N's PoV

I'm so sleepy, thankfully Dick go me a bed, although I appreciate the effort and thought I am still a human on the inside. Meaning, I enjoy big beds with fluffy pillows and blankets, oh well, this will have to do for now. I can't wait to shift back tomorrow, I'll leave this place and go back into the woods where I'll be safer and where I can hide, from him. Between, my injuries and exhaustion, I let sleep overcome me, completely oblivious to the events of the new few days.

3rd Person PoV

Y/N laid down, drifting into sleep. The bat boys however aren't peacefully sleeping, Batman, went out on patrol, Red hood, he went out to the outlaw's lair. Leaving Nightwing, Red Robin and Robin in the Bat cave.

~Time skip an hour~

The young wolf, Y/N tosses and turns in her dog bed. She lets out numerous cries and whimpers in her sleep. She jerks awake, her nightmare becoming too much for her mind to handle. Y/N begins to cry out for her brother, she remembers that he would help calm her after those dreams. Her brother would soothe her by stroking her hair or fur and he'd always remind her that she wasn't alone. That no matter what he would always be by her side. Her favorite thing about her brother was the stories he'd tell her, they'd range from his adventures to myths and old folk tales. Stories about love, life and loss, being the young wolf she is, Y/N loved the stories about wolves finding their mates. The adventure and thrill of finding your other half, the emotion and the struggle of the relationship and how in the end the pain would be worth it. Y/N couldn't wait to find her mate, she would always dream about finding her mate. Lucky for Y/N she doesn't have to keep dreaming.

Damian's PoV
As I was walking back to my room, I could make out muffled cries and whimpers. Locating where they were coming from, the living room. The first thing I see is the new dog, Winter. Grayson wanted to name her that because her fur reminded him of snow, so he chose the name Winter. I honestly don't completely hate the name. Walking to closer to Winter, I notice she seems to be having a nightmare. "Hey Winter, you alright?" I ask trying to sound sincere. She looks up at me and whines, like she was trying to answer my question. "Did you have a nightmare?" At the word 'nightmare' she turns her head as if she was trying to hide. "If you'd like you can sleep with me in my room." After hearing my suggestion, her ears perk up. I suppose that cheered her up.

I got up slowly with Winter following, she was looking around the hallway and at the rooms. She seems smarter than most dogs, it is like her mind is human. Upon entering my room I see her stop and stare at the different things. This all must be new to her. I changed out of my costume into a pair of pajamas, I turned around and saw Winter curled up on my bed. She was using her paws to try and cover her eyes, she was truly cute. I got into bed and under the covers, after a few moments I felt Winter snuggle into my side. Looking at Winter fills me with a kind of peace, I feel calm. Winter keeps me calm for some odd reason.Careful not to startle her, I slowly bring my hand to her head and begin softly running my through her soft fur.

"Maybe this won't be so bad..."
