Chapter 226 – Little Wolf (2)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

As she told the story, Ishakan was silent.

“I dont like that I left the little wolf alone,” she said as she finished the tale. “Im so worried…”

Thinking of how she had abandoned the baby wolf made her want to cry. She didnt understand why she was crying so much lately. Her emotions had been so intense, and so hard to control. Wrinkling the bridge of her nose, she blinked the tears back.

“I dont think you should worry,” Ishakan said.

“But it was so small, and it had so many injuries!”

“It wont die easily.” He said with complete confidence, and laid his hand on her belly. “Especially if it is protecting you.”

There wasnt the slightest doubt in his voice, and Leah looked at him questioningly.

“It has my blood in it, obviously it will protect you.”

“……?”

The more he explained things, the more confused she became. Leah tried to puzzle out this riddle in her mind.

“Can you…become a wolf?”

“You asked me that before.” He smiled and stroked her cheek tenderly. “But I cant do it.”

She was about to say that she had never wondered such a ridiculous thing, but held her tongue. It was obvious that there was something wrong with her memory, and she decided to trust his words. It had only been a dream, and a dream that made no sense, but it had shaken her so much it was hard to focus on anything else.

Sharing it with Ishakan did make her feel better, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. And he had listened so seriously, and even assured her that the baby wolf would be fine. It was as if he would listen to even the least of the thoughts that troubled her. He made her feel that even if her mind was troubled, and her thoughts cast upon the open sea, he would safely bring her back home.

“Thank you for coming to help me,” she said belatedly. She couldnt imagine what would have happened, if it hadnt been for him. But he shook his head.

“Im the one who should thank you,” he whispered, rubbing his face in her neck. “Youve endured all this alone. It must have been very hard…”

His voice was filled with regret, but she couldnt imagine what he was sorry for. Gently, she patted his back, and her hands were so very small, compared to that broad back. It was some time before he spoke again.
