Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Once again, Leah stood in a vast desert.

The landscape of golden sand was so familiar, and the heat of the sun was intense, but she didnt feel hot. That was because she was in a dream.

Leah walked, leaving a trail of footprints through the fine sand. Some time passed before she stopped. There was something dark heaped on the horizon.

It was the chains.

Automatically, her body stiffened. But atop the chains sat a small silver figure, and she rushed toward it. It was the baby wolf, sitting on top of the chains, and Leah let out a sigh of relief when she saw that the cub was unharmed. The pup even wagged his tail at her approach, lifting his little chin proudly as he batted the chains with his forepaws.

“Did you do all this?” She asked.

He nodded his head, eager to show off his trophy, as if he wanted to boast about how difficult the hunt had been and how he had killed it. Her heart swelled, watching the adorable little baby wolf.

She wanted to hug him. But she couldnt just snatch him up; what if the cub didnt like her? Gently, she offered her hand, and the little cub stood up on his hind legs and held out his front paws, as if asking to be picked up.

And then Leah was holding the little wolf in her arms. Stroking his silver fur, which was the same color as her hair. Silver hair was unusual; it was practically the symbol of the legitimacy of the royal family of Estia. And not only was it the first time she had seen a wolf with silver fur like this, he also had golden eyes.

As she stroked his soft fur, she gazed into his eyes, and the moment they looked at each other, the little wolfs jaws parted and his golden eyes warmed, just like Ishakans.

The baby wolf had fought alone in this place for so long, but there was no sign of resentment in his canine smile, only affection.

“Mama!” The little wolf said.

Leah was struck dumb. Frozen as the wolf cub cocked his head to one side, innocently puzzled that she didnt respond. She remembered what Ishakan had said, he had told her she was pregnant, and she had been surprised, but she hadnt…felt anything. It was as if it had been news about someone else, such a thing could have no bearing on her.

But hearing the baby wolf call her mother…
