HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED

Khaos beckoned her to come to him and she did. She approached him and sat down on his lap. She surprised him with her boldness, but he shouldn't have expected any less from her.

"Have you named the wolf?" Khaos asked.

The sudden change in the subject surprised Zuri, but she welcomed it. "Not yet. I don't know what to name him."

Khaos caressed the wolf's head, as Zuri rested her head against his shoulder, breathing in his scent. She enjoyed being so close to him like this.

"What about 'shadow'?" Zuri suggested.

"Shadow?" Khaos quirked his brows. "It contradicts his fur color."

Just like people, their appearance sometimes could fool you. Most of the time, you didn't know what kind of darkness dominated their thoughts.

"I like 'Shadow'."

Khaos nodded. "'Shadow' it is then." He didn't argue with her. This was her wolf after all, he gave it to her. "I like the name."
