Alpha Without a Pack...

Chapter 16

I wasn't the only one gasping at the sight as her chestnut colored wolf shook off her shredded clothes and studied us with those dazzling blue eyes. I had to admit she was gorgeous in both forms even though we'd seen her wolf before, knowing who she was changed things. Now that she had shifted the faint scent of her wolf form caught my attention, it was easy to recognize after having it all over our front porch for days. "Alright Puppet, you're up." Having her voice ring through my head with her link was different but nice in a strange way. I slowly stepped forward as I took my shirt and shorts off, deciding to leave my boxers on as she waited patiently for me to shift.

 My shift came slower than hers and it made me wonder how practiced and controlled she was to go from two to four legs in just a matter of seconds. Once I was fully shifted I felt my wolf instinctively being drawn closer to her as I stepped stiffly and cautiously forward, I made it a few steps before she closed the distance in an easy trot. I could see her body language was relaxed and friendly and it instantly put my own wolf at ease. 

I whined softly as my tail wagged in greeting to her and she sniffed at my neck, instantly I was rolling over in submition to her at the action. "Well Puppet if all goes well with the others, I think we might just have to have another delicious dinner soon, after all you are an amazing cook." I could sense the playful mocking in her link and knowing I'd passed whatever test had just happened made me overjoyed as I stood and bowed my head respectfully to her. She licked my ear in response and the action had my wolf crooning happily at her praises, meanwhile I was just glad wolves couldn't blush.

Watching her interact with Fletcher was nerve wrecking until she approached him with friendly intentions and their greetings passed over quickly. Then it was my turn and I wasn't sure if I was panicking over what she would think of my wolf or about to pass out from holding my breath for Fletch. "Alright Streaks, your turn." Her eyes held me in place and before I could chicken out I let the shift ripple over me, I didn't like these jeans anyway.

 As soon as the shift was complete it was like my wolf had been waiting as he forced me back and took over control as he dashed forward to meet her. I tried to pull back in fear he would attack her like she said but I watched as she tilted her head at me and I felt shocked as my wolf went into an immediate play bow in front of her before letting me take back control. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..." I started to link an apology only for her to nip gently at my ear as I stood up from the play bow. 

"Relax Streaks, it's nice to see your wolf form is as playful if not more so than you are, it's cute really." Her amusement was clear as I growled playfully back at her, I was not cute. "Yes you we're." She linked back teasingly and I realized I had linked her my thoughts on her comment. She didn't even let me defend my actions as she brushed her shoulder against mine and used her nose to nudge me towards where Fletcher was sitting on the sidelines in wolf form. She made it clear I had passed the initial test too, and my wolf was very pleased in his participation of that passing.

I shifted before she even called me forward, and I let my tongue roll out in a wolfish grin as she studied my wolf form. "Well aren't you the Goldy Locks of this little story." She puffed out as I cautiously approached, my wolf didn't seem the least bit bothered by her own wolf form so I took that as a good sign. "If I'm Goldy Locks then who are the three bears?" I teased back through the link she had open, receiving a chuff of amusement from her as she watched me.
