Marlene entered the front of the house as Tinker entered the room through the large dog door. Warren shifted and opened the door before he entered the room. He smiled to her as his eyes shined a happiness she hadnt seen before. She smiled. Poppa was right. Tinker had to have been his mate to get that kind of smile out of him.<br/><br/>"Hello Warren and Tinker. I was just straightening up. Well Warren...... If you'll leave us we can get to work. We can get her to shift by the end of the day more than likely." Marlene smiled looking at Tinker.<br/><br/>Warren nodded and knelt to nuzzle Tinker. "I will be back at the lodge. Call if you need me." He stood and left quietly as Marlene gestured to follow her into another room.<br/><br/>"Well we can start by me showing you a full shift. watch closely. Pay attention to how I shift. If we are lucky you might get the hang of it after only a few tries."<br/><br/>Marlene slowly shifted to let Tinker examine the process. First fur grew all over her body as her clothes disappeared. her arms and legs began to break and reform. It sounded painful, but there was no pain in Marlene's eyes. After a fer minutes she was a grey wolf only a little larger than Tinker. She spoke in pack speak.<br/>"Watch me do it a few more times. Then you can try. I am sure your wolf will be larger than mine after your successful shift. As an Alphas mate, it will effect you. You will be larger than most normal female shifters. And his power will influence your own. Of course you have to complete the mating process to join your lives as a bonded pair."
