[Ellie's P.O.V.]
The entire day passed and I never felt the pain again, nor did I notice anything amiss. But I still knew something was up. I just couldn't put my finger on it.
When night fell, I couldn't fall asleep. I simply stared at the ceiling for a long time, expecting to experience the pain again tonight. But time passed and my body remained calm and at peace. My surroundings were quiet and details about what kind of and how I felt the pain became clearer. Sometimes it felt like a hand was tightly squeezing my heart and sometimes it felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at it.
I had never felt this way before. It was different from the pain of my mate betraying me with another she-wolf. Was this just my illusion or was there something wrong with my body? I was planning to continue observing myself for a while. If there was a problem with my body, I would know if i experienced something similar a second time.
