Light blue eyes stared down at the massive crate left before her doorway. It was a giant wooden thing, constructed of solid boards and held together by iron nails; an earthy scent caked its surface. There were several gaps between the flat timbers, in which, she could make out the vague shape of a dog. Wait. Or was that a human?
"What in the world?" Riley, the one who located the pen, muttered to herself.
She poked at the object, peering into the murky shadows to investigate whatever laid inside. Pushing a long strand of brown hair from her face, she finally took notice of a parchment stapled to the box. She ripped the note and brought it into her visual field, quickly reading the inked text.
"Wolf?" she questioned, raising a brow. Nonetheless, the young, haughty-shaped woman continued to gawk at the paper. "I didn’t..."
Another sheet caught her attention, and immediately, the college student recognized the writing.
"Oh no," Riley breathed, her eyes widening.
True, she had been wanting a pet for some time, but was perfectly content with adopting one from the local pound. She was flattered her aunt, a well-off woman who was the owner of a number of housewife/cooking/decor magazines, had taken the liberty, but goodness sake...
"Umm, wolf?" the brunette called out, taking another step away from her apartment’s entrance. She pursed her lips, managing to crack the crate open, wanting to see her new companion.

Hello Riley sweetie!
It’s your auntie Catharine (your favorite auntie I know)! It’s around your birthday and I remember some months ago you made mention you wanted a pet. And I also remember how much you loved wolves when you were little, so --
Well honey, I got you one! Don’t worry, best of the best for you Riley-pooh! I hope you like him! I ordered him with you in mind.
I’ve sent a few more packages your way too. You should be getting them soon (just some food and stuff for your new friend).
Happy Birthday honey pie! Call me more often, okay?
Love love auntie Catharine!
