You named it Blue

"I'm going to call you Blue from now on, okay? Nice to meet you, Blue"

The wolf slime wagged its tail happily and gave an affirmative bark. You continued petting the wolf slime combo for a while, until you remembered that you should probably tame the wolf as well. But since his consciousness was repressed by Blue, it was probably impossible when Blue's controlling it.

"Hmm... Blue, can you release the wolf from your control at will?"

Blue gave you an affirmative bark once more. That's good then, you thought.

"Alright, can you get out of the wolf, then? Oh wait, let's tied the wolf to the tree first"

You pulled a rope from your backpack and tied the wolf to the tree. The last time the wolf was himself he tried to eat you, after all. Blue understood your intention and let you do it. Once the wolf was safely secured, you took a step back and waited.

The wolf's body went limp and fell onto the ground. Then, from its parted jaw, a familiar blob of slime crawled out and slithered towards you. You scooped it up from the ground before petting your tamed monster. You watched the wolf, a bit worried that it had not regained consciousness. But soon enough, you noticed that the wolf stirred awake.

The wolf slowly stood up, looking at its surrounding confusedly. When he saw you, he froze for a few second. His grey eyes blinked, and immediately after he started growling and struggling against the rope, as if he was trying to attack you.

"Ahh, I guess he's still hostile towards me," you mumbled, "well, I expected as much"

You took out some scraps of meat from yesterday's dinner and offered it to the wolf. He growled and snapped his jaw when you came close, but you ignored him. When you threw the pieces of meat near him, he immediately devoured it as if he had not eaten in days. You wondered about his strange behaviour, you were sure you fed wolf-Blue this morning.

After finishing the food, the wolf eyed you warily. The meat calmed him down a little, but his hostility remained. You took a step closer, earning some angry barks and growls. Blue was going to attack him to protect you, but you told it to wait. You then tried to connect to the wolf's consciousness once more, which was quite a challenge without touching him directly. After some difficulties later, you managed to do it, but you were met with such intense emotions. Anger, confusion, and fear all combined into one. You tried to calm him down using your telepathy, but it had minimum success.

"This wolf is such a wild and ferocious one, I am sure he won't allow me to tame him at this moment," you thought to yourself, "I could probably warm up to him if I kept him for a few days, but I don't have a few days. Father would realize that I have not tamed him yet"

You heard before that some of the other Monster Tamers used forceful ways to tame their monsters. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, yours was not that type. And it wasn't like you were going to try anyway. The thought of enslaving creatures instead of befriending them was rather distasteful for you, at the very least.

You thought about letting the wolf go, but then you would not have a wolf to bring back home. You'd have to explain to your mother how Pochi had died, and to your Father why you let your "tamed" wolf go. Plus, not having a wolf's strength on your side was kind of... lonely. It had been a long while since you were alone without a wolf partner since Pochi had always been by your side.

You could probably ask Blue to possess him again, but you started to feel kind of sorry for the wolf. Even if he would be **** the entire time Blue was controlling his body, you still thought it was kind of wrong to keep him in that state for long without a good reason. Was having a wolf companion as Pochi's replacement good enough reason?
