Oh yes, the "knowing" of things that are hidden. It's such a double edged gift isn't it? Call it women's intuition or whatever...I know that it can run very strong with some of us in my particular race, but it certainly isn't exclusive.
I think that we do have more recent ties to the "old ways" in which that sense was highly developed, but every culture has their old ways.
Matilda, if I were you, I'd learn more about the actual social life of wolves if you think there is an affinity. The "lone wolf" thing is highly misunderstood. Wolves are extremely social, in fact--they live for the pack. The are so geared for the survival of the pack over the survival of the individual that all of the adults in the pack submerge their own sex drive and procreative instincts so that only the alpha male and female will bear pups.
The pups are then raised by the pack as a whole.
The "lone wolf" thing actually only comes about when a lower status male tries to challenge the alpha male, or when there is something wrong with him that presents a threat to the pack. He may be run off--banished, to go it alone. In the case of a female, if a lower-status female doesn't subvert her own sex drive and/or continually tries to have sex with the alpha male, the alpha female and the other females will drive her away.
Eventually, an banished male and a banished female may find each other and form a new pack. Often not, though--many simply die of lonliness because they are meant to be part of a group--that is their function.
Wolves are so in tune to each other that when one of them dies, the mourning is very intense for the whole group. They are extremely protective and dependent on each other.
Learn more about real wolves and how they act--not myth and not the European concept--but how they really act. Watch the way dogs behave with each other because dogs are a retardation of wolves, but still carry some of the social instincts.
