A man with fluffy black ears atop his head and a swinging, long, black, furry tail burst into the villa with a cold and stern expression.
Holly Wyatt didn't know what was happening; though deaf and mute, she somehow heard the man's disdainful voice at that very moment.
[The cub has grown a little.]
[Still too weak.]
[How did she end up looking like this? So gaunt and scrawny, so unsightly. Standing there, she looks like a telephone pole—the shortest one, at that.]
Holly Wyatt: ...
She rubbed her fingertips together, staring at the tip of the man's tail that curled into a little heart shape, wanting to touch it...
*
Two years later.
Dressed in a camisole and hot pants, the moment she pulled open the main door, she heard the man's sharp, explosive inner shriek.
[Aaaah! Damn it! Who taught the cub to dress like this?! I was only gone for two years, where is my cub who used to be all bundled up?!]
[Give her back!!]
*
As the leader of the Wolf Clan, Silas Thornton's primary mission was to manage the pack, and his secondary mission was to raise the cub well.
One day, he discovered that the cub he was raising actually wanted to date! This meant the cub wanted to procreate!
That was unacceptable!
And so, Holly Wyatt could always hear the man's inner ramblings.
[The cub is still too young; she can't run off and procreate with some random man out there.]
[If the cub is really that desperate to procreate, I suppose I can reluctantly make a sacrifice.]
[Why doesn't the cub want to procreate yet? I'm already prepared.]
Holly Wyatt: !!?? Does this mean she can finally touch his big tail?

Someone knocked on the door of the private room.


'Quinn Zeller is finally here! Too slow! Way too slow! What if the cub catches a cold?!'


Holly Wyatt looked back and saw Quinn Zeller at the door, holding a bag of clothes.


'Oh my god! My savior! My savior is here!'


She quickly stood up, the towel still clutched to her chest.


"Go get changed." The moment Silas Thornton's words fell, Holly Wyatt turned, took the clothes from Quinn Zeller, gave a slight nod of thanks, and bolted out of the room.


'Ah! Why is the cub running so fast?! What if she falls!!'


Holly Wyatt covered her ears and ran toward the restroom.


She wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it, so she ran as fast as she possibly could.


The sound of Silas Thornton's thoughts gradually faded behind her.


Holly Wyatt stood before the mirror, looking at the sky-blue maxi dress she had just changed into, feeling a little dazed.
