The wolf led Katie through the hospital grounds and into the surrounding forest. Katie, heart pounding, followed. The situation felt surreal, and though she feared what lay ahead, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the wolf was guiding her to something important. She called an animal expert for advice, but the expert could offer no clear explanation. Katie continued to follow the wolf deeper into the woods, unsure of what she would find. After a while, the wolf stopped and turned toward her. With a soft growl, the wolf seemed to communicate its intentions. Katie carefully placed the small pup in a soft cloth, approaching the wolf once again. The wolf gently cradled the pup in its mouth and began to move deeper into the forest.
Katie watched, a mixture of awe and relief swelling in her chest as the wolf disappeared into the shadows of the forest. She turned to Peter, who had been by her side throughout the ordeal, and asked, “What now?” Peter’s voice was quiet, his expression thoughtful. “We keep going, Katie. This is just the beginning.” Katie nodded, her heart heavy with the weight of the mystery that still lay ahead. Together, they ventured deeper into the forest, ready to uncover the truth of the wolf’s purpose and the role it had played in the strange events of the night.
