Sylvia's POV:
I looked up in surprise and quickly took out the piece of cloth from the cloth bag. I gave it to Flora.
On the piece of cloth, there was an intricate pattern sewn with gold threads. Before my mother died, she shoved this thing into my hand and asked me to find my father. Although she didn't get the chance to tell me anything more, I thought this pattern must have something to do with my father.
I stared at Flora with anticipation, trying to find clues in her brooding face.
She took the piece of cloth from me and looked at it carefully. "This should be the badge of our pack."
"Really?" Her words made me feel so excited. Finally, I got a clue about my father.
"But it's a style that was used a long time ago. It's not being used now. Since sewing this pattern was too cumbersome and time-consuming, a simplified version was designed later." After saying this, Flora took out her clothes and showed them to me.
Sure enough, the pattern on her clothes was simpler. But it could be seen at a glance that the core of the two patterns was the same.
Although the clues were vague, at least they showed that my father might be a member of her pack. I took Flora's clothes and compared them with my piece of cloth carefully. I wasn't only surprised but also nervous. I didn't know what kind of werewolf my father was. I wasn't even sure if he would be happy if he knew my existence. Or would he loathe me if he found out that I used to be a slave?
"How did you have this?" Flora asked curiously, tilting her head.
I was about to answer her question, but Yana stopped me.
"Don't tell her, dear. It's better to be cautious about this matter. You've just met Flora, and you don't know her that much yet. What if she can't be trusted? What if she divulges your secret and someone takes advantage of it?"
Yana was right. I was just too anxious.
So I pretended that it was nothing important and returned Flora's clothes to her. "I'm just a little curious. I only find this pattern very beautiful, so I keep it. But I don't know where it came from. Thank you for telling me."
"Oh, that's fine." Flora waved her hand, folded the clothes, and put them back into her closet. "You can ask me anything about my pack in the future. I'm willing to answer all your questions." She was an enthusiastic and energetic she-wolf who seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of energy. At this moment, she rushed to my table and said, "Come on, try this specialty I brought." As she spoke, she quickly opened the package, and I saw a stack of brown-red meat inside. I picked up one piece and smelled it. It seemed very delicious.
"What's this?" I asked curiously.
"Eat it first. Then I'll tell you what it is." Flora's eyes lit up. It was as if she was trying her best to sell her specialty.
