3RD DAY OF FANFIC

King Dice x Wolf! Reader
(Also the money stuff is the numbers for tigers in the black market yeah)
In the Isle of Inkwell, wolves are endangered, to a point where the hunting and harming them was illegal, punishable by 10 years jail time minimum. But that didn't stop people from poaching, depending on the quality of fur the skins could range from $25,000 to $35,000 and puppies could sell for $3,500. Dead wolves would cost more than $5,000 while a live wolf would cost ten times more and this was all black market sells, police did what they could but they never could stop it, the wolf population was only dropping by the day. But, one man cared so much, he opened his house to the wolves, allowed them to relax in his backyard and unwind, he protected them, hell he even quit his casino job with his boss' permission, the man was King Dice. Each day he slid the large glass door to the back of his house open, threw large chunks of cow meat into his very large yard before he walked into the large forest and checking up on the wolves he knew resided in the near forest.

Your POV:

Your lungs heaved in air as you ran through the dense forest, the yells of poachers echoing in your ears as you weaved and bobbed through the ticket. You had gone too far out of your own territory while hunting a boar, well now you paid the price. The forest flashed by you, suddenly a black ace that had been dug into a tree passed by within the blink of an eye. You were home. You sprang from the landing planning on jumping to the other side of the small trench, but a razor-sharp net collided with your rear legs and torso, rendering them useless. You smashed into the wall, a loud yelp of distress echoing slightly, scaring birds in the surrounding trees, and alerting anyone within a mile radius.

"We got 'er!" One of the male poachers exclaimed as they slid down the small trench, examining their newest catch. You fought as best as you could, snapping at those who tried to get near, but one held your neck as the other muzzled you with a tightly wound rope, disabling you to the fullest, you couldn't move or bite, you were caught. One of them slid their hand along your side, feeling your soft silky fur, you growled and bared your teeth but he only scoffed at you, "Oh shut it you mutt, you can't do anything to us." He growled, "You're right, but I can." said a familiar voice in almost a growl. The poachers froze as they looked in the direction of the voice, Dice emerged from the ticket, his emerald eyes chilling and cold as he stared at four men that surrounded you, he made eye contact with the one holding you down, you felt the tensions rise as the men stared each other down, "Get lose Dice head, you shouldn't be messing with us." Dice only laughed at their threat, "I'm probably the meanest thing in these woods, scram before I tear you to pieces and leave you for the wolves!" He yelled the last part and shot a wave of cards at them, they scrambled away leaving you in the razor-netting. Dice then crouched down, getting to eye level as to not threaten you more than you already were. Your heavy scared breathing was causing the razor netting to dig deeper into your chest, "calm down, I'm not here to hurt you." he said softly, getting to his knees, he looked into your scared hazel eyes, watching as they darted around before closing. He moved to your torso, pulling out his small pocket knife. You had looked back towards him, you began growling not liking this small sharp object nearing your torso. He saw you freaking out, so he rolled the knife's grip in the mud, hiding its scent slightly. You placed your head down, your breathe slight heavy. He lifted the net up slightly, he slipped the knife under it, cutting pieces and removing it. He noticed something that shouldn't be right, you rear leg whenever touch would spring up, followed by your soft whine. He cut the rope that bound your muzzle. You jumped to your feet, lifting your rear leg as you did, you stared at him. He was radiating a calm aura, he was still crouched down, trying not to intimidate you. Your rear legs were drenched with your own blood. "I want to help." His kind and soft voice said, he slowly stood up and walked slowly towards his large house, making sure you were still following. He had veterinarians come to his house and put a cast on your leg, he was told to keep you in his backyard, to keep you safe.

The couple of day later when he woke up he was greeted by a large ball of fluff. You jumped onto his large bed, nearly crushing him in the process. He shot up and looked around before rubbing his head, "Quite the good morning." He mumbled rubbed the top of your head, you had stayed with him for a couple of weeks now and you had become attached to him. You loved his silliness and his gentleness. You bounded out from the room as someone began pounding on the door. Your cast was removed a few days ago so you were full of energy. You bounded to the door, barking at this deep growl you heard, "Dice! Open the damn door its fucking freezing out here!" You saw Dice nearly fly from his room in his purple suit, "Sorry boss Give me a sec," He said as he pushed you from the door, you slid backward on the tile before you got to your feet and flew to the door once again. You stuck your head between the door frame and his leg, you saw the large man covered in black fur with two horns protruding from his head, "Well seems likes she's happy to see me ." You knew this man, Dice tried to push you back into the house but you slipped through, nearly tackling the taller man. He only laughed as you flopped over onto him, wanting some attention from him, you hadn't seen him in a while so why not? He scratched your belly and back before standing up, "Who's a good girl huh? Are you a good girl?" He asked as he pushed you down before you jumped up again, he laughed and so did Dice, "Come on in."

The rest of the day was spent messing around, hanging out and sleeping. But you saw a buck nearing the yard, you didn't want to wake them up so you crept out of the house, the Buck saw you and darted off into the the forest. Your instincts kicked in and you to took to the forest. You hadn't realized that King Dice was watching, a sadden sigh left his lips as he locked his backdoor. You had healed, you are wolf not a pet, but damn would you leave rather large hole in his heart.

Many years later.

The devil had moved in with Dice, they were a couple cause who the hell wouldn't wanna date those sexy beasts. But anyways, it was late at night maybe 3 or 4 am when a loud high pitched whining and scratching clawed at his ears. 'A wolf?' He questioned as he walked to his back door, your fur had been dulled down due to aging, but in your mouth you held a tiny, tiny pup. It's eyes hadn't opened yet,
It squirmed in you light grip, he was stunned, but you set the pup down at his feet, barked, then raced arose his yard jumping the fence. You climbed the small hill about to jump the small wooden fence when in the night, a loud gunshot echoed off, and your body was seen tumbling over the fence...lifeless.

Dice was in shocked, anger filled him first when he felt the Devils paw grip his shoulder, "I'll deal with them, but you take care of the pup, she obviously wanted you to since she well brought...uh..her to you." With that the devil began to walk across the yard, leaving dice with the newborn wolf pup. He sat down, the pup instantly crawled towards him, seeking out his radiating warmth. He let out a soft sad sigh before saying, "I got no clue what to call you, how about....Zoey?" The pup didn't respond only curl into him more, as she began to shake.

Sorry for this being late I sorta zoned out while rewriting it but eh MERRY CHRISTMAS!
