Tinker walked down into a laying down position and laid her head on her paws. She looked at Warren with something akin to hero worship. She registered the sorrow in his voice at being forbidden to mate. That was just downright rude. Everyone needed to have someone to come home to after a hunt. She understood that pack law was particular about which pairs could mate and that Alpha’s had the say so.<br/><br/>Her blue eyes never wavered from watching Warren’s vigilance.<br/><br/>“I don’t know how to earn your trust, Warren, but I will  keep the trust you have extended to me.” She said softly.<br/>“I think I don’t want to belong to a pack any more. I’m not sure that any pack would have me because I’m so different. I want to be free like you. Just hunt when I’m hungry and travel, seeing many new places. Do you think I can shift too? What do I need to do to shift? Would things be easier on you if I was a human sometimes? I think I shifted when I was too young to remember and there is something in my brain that makes me feel like I’m frozen inside when I think about doing it. I don’t know. But Warren, I will do anything you want for me to do. I have your back. I will have your back and I might not know what to do right now, but I can learn."
