Alana snapped her fingers as she hummed to herself. Well, she had left the dog food. There was nothing else she could do. She hoped that if anyone ran into that dog that they would give him a good home. Maybe she could go to the pound today and…seeing movement out the corner of her eye she turned to see the dog sitting in a chair staring off into the distance. She froze and it turned to her and barked.
“Hey,” she crooned as she edged closer. “That’s a good boy? Girl?”
The dog hopped off the chair and then walked toward her rolled over onto its back.
“Oh! Boy! You are most definitely a boy! Hey fella!” Moving slowly, so as to not startle him, she squatted down and let him sniff her hand before she gently patted his side.
“Well, you’re a big guy huh?” His tongue lolled out and she could swear he was laughing at her. She studied his teeth.
“Wow, look at those suckers! Your canines are huge!” He seemed to roll his eyes before sitting up and barking at her and trotting toward the back of the house. She followed while digging into her bag.
“Look what I have for you! You want a treat, you want a treat?” Alana ignored her sore throat as she spoke to the dog in soothing tones. She waved the biscuit in front of his face. He looked from it, to her and back again. She bent down and he gently took the biscuit from her then he just stood there. They stared at each other for a moment before he turned his head and spit it out. She raised her eyebrows.
“Not hungry huh? You don’t look malnourished. In fact you look well fed. Do you belong to someone?” She bent down to feel around his neck but there was nothing. Maybe he had one of those electrical tracking devices embedded under his skin. Those were way more popular. He barked and bounded away from her and then raced back.
“You want to play catch?” She looked around and finding a good sized stick she picked it up and flung it a short distance away. He darted after it and then brought it back with a trot to his steps. They played catch for awhile and Alana laughed hysterically when she pretended to throw the stick and he ran off only to realize that she hadn’t thrown it. Looking over his shoulder his eyes seemed to narrow at her laughter before he made a huffing sound and for a moment she thought he was laughing with her. Shaking her head at her fanciful thinking they continued to play until she realized that it was getting late and she still had some things to do.
“Hey, I have to go but I just wanted to thank you for helping me out last night. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t came along.” She patted him on the head and he leaned in closer to peer up at her. For a moment she was mesmerized by his eyes but then he blinked and she shook her head.
“Next time I’ll bring you some better treats okay?”
He leaned in and with one gentle swipe licked at barely noticeable marks on her neck before he darted away and ran down the block.

He should have just mauled her. That would have turned her away for good.

Awww, that was cute! Alana sure is a sweet person, Caine should give her a chance! She cracks me up too that she is such a clean freak!
Great update as always!
[Reply]
It’s such a nice contrast, neat-freak, germophobic Alana and Caine, who clearly has no problems with a messy house
It’s good to see he’s at least comfortable with her in dog form. Hopefully he’ll open up to her, he needs someone to talk to.
[Reply]
LOL!! OMG Pen!! LOL!! Daaang!! You’re about as vicious as he CAN be!
[Reply]
Thanks Emily! I just decided to do a light piece because things are getting ready to get kinda dramatic here! Haha!
Yeah, I figured I’d incorporate some of her Sim characteristics. She’s always cleaning up sooo…
Thanks!
[Reply]
Haha!! Yeah, I don’t think Caine knows how to take her! He thinks she some kinda oddity(pot calling the kettle black).
Yes, he does need someone to talk to. He’s been in a crazy home for WAY too long!
[Reply]
Odd way to make sure she leaves for good, is it me or is Caine not too in touch with what he is doing while in his wolf form?
[Reply]
Oh he’s aware…however where she’s concerned his brain is all sorts of muddled. It’ll be explained more in the next update!
[Reply]
Awww, I agree with Emily, that was so cute, I love the interaction between the “dog” and Alana, she should just take him home!!!
And I see lots of possibility between Alana and Caine!
He seems to like her far more than he realizes…
and I also think Alana is way TOO crazy to go back to the escapee’s place!
Great chapter!!
[Reply]
Awww, Caine does have a soft spot after all… Then again dont all the hard cases, IE J… LOL!
Alana is a brave one going back to the place after the maniac tried to strangle her, LOL! If only she knew… LOL!
Stunning descriptions your writing is absolutely beautiful!!! and your screens too!!!
[Reply]
You got it Sandy! “More than he realizes”. He’s such a guy…and living in the asylum didn’t help much either!
I have the next two prompts already pictured…I just have to write it! haha!
Yeah, Alana isn’t all there either! Girl has some serious issues! LOL!
[Reply]
LOL!! LOL!! I know that’s right Cherie!
Hmm…I don’t know if brave is the word! She’s more worried about the “dog” than anything! She just doesn’t think that far ahead…
Thanks Cherie!
[Reply]
I just recognized the lot, CycloneSue, love her urban stuff. Caine is such an interesting character, his gruffness covers a lot of hurt, I think. And I agree with the others, he likes Alana far more than he is letting on, licking her neck where he injured her…awww.
Real connection going here between Alana/Caine and his canine self, great update!
[Reply]
Thanks Karen! Yep! That’s the creator of the lot. I suck at building and Simcere doesn’t do urban! I’m sure she would if it was requested but she has so much on her plate now! Anyways…
Not this update but the next(I think) everyone will see a softer side of Caine. He definitely likes her more than he lets on. It confuses him.
Tame the beast, tame the man. Well…semi-tame. No one wants a totally tamed man!!
[Reply]
I can’t wait to see the expression on Alana’s face when she realizes the “dog” she has allowed to lick her, the “dog” she just rubbed the belly of is really Caine the big bad meanie lunatic asylum escapee! LOL!
Really well done and yes, breaking it up with a little levity is a good thing. She really is a brave one to go back to that house.
[Reply]
LOL Gayl! I crack up every time I visualize that scene! It’s going to be soooo funny!!
Thanks! And yes she is!
[Reply]
LOL, oh boy. Caine is such a grump–I love his “get off my lawn” comment. xD
At least Alana got to see her dog after all… well, kind of…
I am still trying to decide if she’s brave or just bored to go back there. It’s hard to suppress the thrill of excitement when you live a scheduled existence.

Caine’s an ass! But once he gets to know you…well he still is but not as much!
I think a little stupid was mixed in there as well but yeah, everything being scheduled is boring! I don’t think she realized HOW boring!
