Good question. There are three categories of Wolf, four if you include the insane Throwback side.
Other Wolves don't need to be able to differentiate, but Hazel/Red is a Sentinel (Wolf police) and sometimes she knows.
Thanks for the question. I'll write some more details about the categories too.
Okay. Thanks. Would love to read. Because I do get a little confused when seeing any wolf story movies.
From the story: Heavy weighs the crown, because the First Laws say the Lycaeon must produce an heir from a ‘Born Wolf’.
And you say the wolves don't need to be able to differentiate. How then would the law be upheld. Like if it happens that the heir isn't a born wolf (without knowledge) would there be a consequence? .
Just thinking.!!
As with Humes, they're civilised and have family tree and documentation, plus they keep track of the bloodline because it's important.
