of the one who holds the other half of their soul. But in addition to having this tattoo from birth, they can also get others that appear later in the day on their body, as soon as they have any kind of physical contact, such as touching, with their soulmate.

To be continued........

But Mother Nature seemed to have other plans.

A storm was about to strike the Fir Peaks Reserve.

At this very moment, she had to find her precious pup as quickly as possible, before the nightmare she had already lived through during Katsuki’s first disappearance repeated itself.

And that thought terrified her more than anything.

But, for now, that wasn’t what mattered most.

She knew that Katsuki had likely already picked up on subtle hints from the pack members.

She knew that one day, her son would inevitably discover the truth about everything that had happened back then.

She wanted to spare him those memories, to prevent him from developing trauma or nightmares at night.

She was protecting him.

She was shielding him from this nightmarish and terrifying truth, ensuring her son wouldn’t fall into fear and paranoia.

But deep down, she knew.

And because of these two reasons, Katsuki would never understand his mother… Unless Mitsuki told him everything that had happened when he was a pup.

But she preferred to say nothing.

Social bonds among wolves were incredibly strong, and they could recognize their former companions through scents and sounds.

The second reason was that a wolf might not recall every detail of its childhood, but it could feel familiarity or emotion upon reuniting with a pack member after years apart.

If it had experienced a stressful situation (such as an attack or separation), it could retain an instinctive reaction to it, even without having a precise memory of it, just as a human might.

One of these reasons was that wolves had a highly developed memory for scents, sounds, and significant experiences.

For example, an adult wolf could remember the scents of its childhood pack or a place where it had found food.

Of course, there were reasons why Katsuki didn’t remember what had happened when he was little, preventing him from
understanding his mother’s excessive reactions toward him, unlike the others.
