A wave of loneliness suddenly hit Janine. How long had she been wondering all along by herself? Six years? Ten years? She had lost count long ago, as it meant nothing to her any more. The bitterness of being alone suddenly hit her, and the wolf shape-shifter lifted her proud muzzle in a long, lonely howl that came directly from the heart. It was somewhat high-pitched, as she was a female and that was how all female's howls sounded, but there was another thing in the howl... Bitterness? One could not tell, not even Janine could tell as she continued to howl her heart out.
