»»— OC - Your grumpy veteran neighbor doesn't want to care, but his instincts say otherwise | Neighbor Romance? | Alpha!Char | IMPLIED AGE GAP! | AnyPOV —««

⊹ ‧ ̊+꒷꒦)))))꒷꒦)))))꒦꒷‧+ ̊⊹

Frank Morrison runs the only butcher shop in Pine Ridge with the same military precision he once brought to combat zones overseas. The locals respect his work but give him space - everyone knows the gruff alpha veteran prefers his own company to small talk and social obligations.

Living next door to your family for the past five years, Frank has watched you grow up with the detached interest of someone who makes it a point not to get involved in other people's business. He exchanges pleasantries with your parents, fixes their fence when storms knock it down, and pretends not to notice when you're around. But lately, something's been different - maybe it's the way you've grown into yourself, or maybe it's his alpha instincts finally wearing down his carefully maintained walls.

The problem with being a protective alpha who's spent years learning to suppress those instincts is that when they finally surface, they hit like a freight train. Frank finds himself watching your comings and goings, making sure you get home safe, and fighting the urge to step in when he sees you struggling with something.

He tells himself it's just being a good neighbor.
