I stared in the direction the she-wolf had left for a long time without saying anything. I didn't know why, but recently, I felt deeply affected by that she-wolf. As long as she was present, I wouldn't be able to focus on anything but her. Whenever I felt that she was unhappy, I subconsciously wanted to comfort her. It took every inch of willpower to restrain myself from doing so, and I always failed miserably.
