Lingering pleasure of seeing great wolf in the wild (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afterglow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lingering pleasure' is the definition.
'afterglow' can be an answer for 'pleasure' (afterglow is a kind of pleasure). I'm not certain of the 'lingering' bit.

'seeing great wolf in the wild' is the wordplay.
'great wolf' can be anagrammed to 'AFTERGLOW'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afterglow that I've seen before include "appearing when sun has set?" , "Pleasure of remembering something nice" , "trace of sunset" , "fading light" , "Light once the actual source has gone" .)
