[Ellie's P.O.V.]
The moment I felt his presence, everything around me no longer seemed to matter. I could no longer hear the slander from the three of them, nor could I see the strange looks from the group of people watching. My vision could somehow see through everything and lock on that person. I could only see him.
He was the second most fearsome werewolf in the city and he was also my father who raised me.
I hadn't seen him since I turned into a wolf the size of a dog and was locked outside the city gate by him.
He looked a lot more haggard than before and there were more fine lines under his eyes. He was different from the high-spirited person I remembered. He looked tired, like an old man who had gone through a lot of hardships.
His cold words still echoed in my mind. He said that we no longer had anything to do with each other before telling me to leave. As soon as each word rang out, it was like a nail stabbing into my heart again and again.
