Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 26 Taking Away the Little Wolf Cub

After another forty minutes, Violeta paused on a small hill, gazing into the distance where a red flag marked the finish line.

“See that? The finishing line is just over there. A mere two minutes, and we’ll make it.”

“That’s a relief!” Kaylee plopped down on the ground, massaging her tired legs.

Meanwhile, Jezebel, seated nearby, heard a soft whimper. Turning, she spotted a furry little pup in the

grass.

“Look! A puppy!” Little did she know she mistook the wolf cub for a domestic pup.

Eagerly, she lured the cub with her food and water, cradling it in her arms.

The cub’s whimpers caught Violeta’s attention. “What’s that sound? Did you guys hear it?”

Kaylee swiveled around and spotted Jezebel trying to stash the wolf cub in her bag.

“Hey, Jezebel! What on earth are you doing?”

Jezebel hesitated. “I don’t know who left this little guy here. I felt sorry for it, so I considered taking it back with me.”

Upon hearing Jezebel’s harebrained idea, Violeta was on the brink of unleashing a torrent of curses.

“Are you out of your mind? That’s not a puppy! It’s a wolf cub! Didn’t I warn you? There are wild wolves in the mountains!”

During the hike, Violeta was on this wild wolf hunt, carefully looking for any traces of those creatures in the area

You’d see wild wolves in Mount Wilson from time to time, but not often. People would hike up the mountain regularly to scare them off, so the chances of bumping into them were pretty low for regular folks.

But guess what? In Violeta’s dream team, Jezebel turned out to be a bit of a scatterbrain. She mistook a wolf cub for a fluffy little puppy! Seriously?

Ordinary dogs, guided by their instincts, would steer clear of wolf territory upon catching a whiff of their distinctive scent. The fact that Jezebel failed to discern the difference is a perplexing twist in this wild tale!

“Dogs wouldn’t dare sniff around where wolves have left their scent!”
