The Turned Prince Christmas Special (Swan Princess AU)

Space Wolves

"What should we do first?"

"Jewelry."

Anora pipes up.

"Jewelry?"

"I need some."

She shrugs.

"Oh! Keith, you should get something for Kosmo."

"Like what?"

"They have a store here dedicated to space wolves."

"Aren't they really rare?"

"Yeah. The woman who works there has one though. It's pretty cool."

I look at Lance and shrug.

"You can go with Anora and I can go check out the store."

"Are you sure?"

"I'll be fine."

He nods and kisses me quickly before being dragged off by Anora. I turn and wander around until I find the place I'm looking for. I enter the shop and look around. The walls are covered in stars and galaxies. The floor is a dark blue color and the shelves are lined with all sorts of things.

"How may I help you?"

I jump and turn to find a short woman with flowy blonde hair. She smiles when she sees me.

"I've heard about you."

She pushes her hair behind her pointed ears to reveal dark purple marks.

"You're married to Prince Lance."

I nod and she ushers me towards her.

"I heard you have a space wolf."

"Yeah."

"What's its name?"

"Kosmo."

"That's a great name."

"Thanks."

She leads me over to a counter and walks behind it.

"So."

She says while turning and leaning her elbows on it.

"How can I help you?"

"I'm not sure. I was told to come here."

She laughs and turns around.

"Well then, what's Kosmo like? I know my old girl Joy was full of energy. I've had her for a really long time so she's lost some of her spark. They are very unique animals though."

"Do you know how long they usually live?"

"Nobody really knows but Joy found me when she was an adult. She's grayed some but she's still very healthy. Some people say that when their owner dies they do too. It depends how strong the bond is. When did Kosmo find you?"

"I rescued him when he was a puppy so I kind of found him in a way."

She doesn't say anything and I inspect her expression.

"Is that bad?"

She shakes her head.

"No. In fact it's incredible. Most space wolves find their owners. The people they choose to be with. It usually takes them until they're adults before the instincts kick in. Because you rescued him he probably bonded with you immediately. It makes the connection between you two very strong."

She bends down and pulls something up with her. She sets it on the counter in front of me.

"Space wolves are magnificent creatures and pretty easy to handle if they've bonded with you. They hunt for themselves, teleport, listen, and they're extremely loyal."

She points at the box.

"It's not completely rare but it's a very big thing with space wolves."

She pushes the thing towards me before grabbing a bigger box and setting it on the counter as well.

"These things should help with taking care of him. The smaller one is just something that I think will be useful."

"How much?"

She waves a hand at me.

"Nothing. I haven't met anyone with a space wolf besides me. It's nice meeting someone as important as you who has one. Besides, the other stuff around here are just for people who wish they had one."

She smiles.

"You should bring him over sometime. Joy would be happy to meet up with another of her kind."

I nod and take the boxes.

"Thank you."

"Welcome."
