I received the quest from the lady, and wandered off a bit to progress the main quest, just before Sigurd and Aivor set sale to the England.
I went back to finish the side quest, but the quest giver was nowhere to be found. Has this happened to anyone? Now I'm stuck with the quest parchment in my inventory and it bothers the heck out of me.

Try to run ahead of the wolf by a large distance(for me, about 130m), then the wolf might follow. It did the trick to me.

@rkwon10 I misphrased - I was able to find the quest giver but she won't talk to me.
