Dangerously Seductive (a Zayn Malik fanfiction).

Chapter 39

**ZAYNS POV**

I walked into the shelter, memories flooding back to me. Things had been so different when I was last here. This was Juliet's pride and joy, and I've taken her away from it all. I was selfish, much to selfish to deserve her.

"Zayn right?" a small woman approached me. I tried to remember her name but resulted to peering at her name tag in defeat.

"Yah. Your Sophie? I remember you." I lied slightly.

"Is Juliet with you?" hearing her name hurt.

"No, just me. I'm here for the dog." I stated sadly.

"Snickers? Great! He's been waiting for you guys."

She brought me to the cages and there he was. I could tell why Juliet loved the animal so much. He was gentle and sweet. Everything I wasnt.

"All of his things are in his very own crate. Just go ahead and take him. And tell Juliet I said hi." she cheerily spoke getting back to her job. She was completely unaware of Juliet's state.

I collected the dog and it's abundance of toys and food. There was apprehension on both sides as I walked the massive creature to the car. Great Danes were certainly not meant to fit inside any vehicle.

I piled everything in the back and then guided the beast to the front seat with me.

"Let's go mut." I urged patting the passenger seat. After a few minutes of coaxing he jumped. I followed suit, running around the front and getting in in the drivers side.

"I've come quite a ways for you." I said petting him.

"It might just be me and you buddy always."

I finally came to the conclusion that I was talking to a dog and then followed another conclusion that I didn't care. This animal had more importance to me than most people and I decided I could talk to it as much as I like.

"So why do they call you snickers anyway?" I mumbled reaching in the back for a paper. Each dog had a little story written about them on little cards attached to their kennels.

Hello, my name is snickers. Juliet found me when I was just a baby. My owner fed me snickers so I could get sick from the peanuts and chocolate (I'm super allergic), but Juliet helped me get better. Now I'm here today and I'm waiting to go to a real nice home someday :)

Our stories didn't sound so different ,I thought.

"Juliet found me and saved me too. except I don't think I was about to die from too much sweets." I stated scratching behind his massive ears.

If this is all I would have left of her, I would treat this dog like royalty. He was already starting to grow on me. The large animal had brindle coloring with spots everywhere. He was massive but had an innocent look about him. I thought he was pretty damn cute. But that little detail would be kept to myself.

I made it back to the safe house in a few hours. I'm sure nobody is quite prepared for a massive dog to be here, but they would have to adjust quickly.

"Let's go boy." I instructed softly. He followed behind as I walked through the front door.

"I'm back!" I called out, setting the keys back where I got them from.

"Zayn mate where have you- woah!" Liam exclaimed stopping once he saw the large dog standing beside me.

"Snickers!" Ally excitedly yelled.

"Zayn, this, this means so much more than you realize."

I felt a warm sensation spread in my heart at her words. All I wanted was to do something meaningful and for once I fulfilled the task at hand.

"I know how much she loves this mutt. She's always talking about him. I hope it makes her happy."

"Well why don't we find out!"

I stared at her confused.

"We can't, Juliet is probably not fully conscious."

"What are you talking about, I'm right here." a small frail voice grasped my attention from across the room. Juliet was sitting there in a wheel chair, her hair cascading down in messy untamed curls. Her bright green eyes looked at me hopefully as I stood in utter disbelief. Snickers barked and ran towards her licking her face with one big stroke. She laughed and I swear the whole room brightened.

"Dr. Roads or Drew, said Juliet is going to make it. I guess she's more of a fighter than we thought." Ally said standing their proudly.

"It won't happen over night though. I'm going to be very weak, and need a lot of help. But my body is responding well to the surgery. It just took a couple hours to fully kick in." Juliet softly smiled resting her arm on the sitting dog. I made my way over and rested my hand on the side of her head.

"I guess your stuck with me forever now." She teased leaning into my palm.

"I've always been."
