Wow this a really captivating start! And I definitely want to read on and find out more about this she wolf. I did notice a few spelling or grammar errors but only small ones, that will easily be fixed as you do another draft.

I agree with those who say this would be great read aloud- the ... could simply denote where the raconteur pauses to let the audience mull the story thus far over.

I noticed a couple of typos and grammar foibles (if you wish, I could use Diigo markups to show where those are).

I'm interested in learning more about the girl for sure

Very interesting start. The way it's written... Trailing ... Makes me imagine this as an oral story, told by some elder over the fire. And the descriptions of her and the cliffhanger ending, makes me want to read more!

A wild girl.....perhaps raised by wolves.....a very interesting start

[Kurt Rellians]

A good start to an interesting tale. They are obviously more than just wolves. The Wolf Goddess appears to be a character with a past history. I will read on in time.
