Wolf
According to mythology Romulus and Remus were nursed by a she-wolf after being left on the River Tiber's banks.
The twin sons of the god Mars and priestess Rhea Silvia are said to have later founded Rome on the Palatine in 753 BC.
The brothers ended up fighting over who should be in charge of the city, a power struggle which ended only after Romulus killed his brother.
In Roman times a popular festival called the Lupercalia was held annually on 15 February.
Young nobles called Luperci, taking their name from the place of the wolf (lupa), ran from the Lupercal around the bounds of the Palatine in what is believed to have been a purification ritual.

My question is on the word 'she-wolf'. Is it correct?
If it is correct, you don't have to say a bitch. You could simply write a 'she-dog'.
A female lion is 'she-lion'. A female elephant is 'she-elephant'.
I have heard the word lioness for a female lion. I don't know whether our native English speaker agree with it.
