The muddy wolf didn't react to anyone's presence at all. Since everyone (apart from Ashton) was incapable of comprehending what the wolf was saying, reactions are all they depended on. However, seeing the muddy wolf still like that was a little unsettling, especially when the day before all this wolf wanted was to rip apart anyone that attacked him.
"Is it saying anything?" In a whisper, Christian asked Ashton. Ashton took a few steps forward in order to be face to face with that wolf. "Not that I'm aware of." Ashton stared at the wolf with cold eyes, even though the muddy wolf ignored him. In his trance, Ashton put his hands on the bar and flinched immediately.
Suddenly it made sense, as to why the wolf was more timid than the day before. The walls were laced with wolfsbane? Ashton grimaced in horror and looked at Christian. Sensing what Ashton was wondering Christian added, "When I found out for the first time, I was surprised too". Christian mumbled.
