Calm was easing ever further in to Leiah's mind, as the wolf helped her control herself, and respond as a human, not just a beast. As the other wolf shifted off of her slightly, but stayed pressed against her, she slowly processed what he was saying. Lord, he said her name again, and he hadn't answered how he knew it in the first place. But she let the fear of that knowledge slide away, and focused on what he had answered.<em>"Telling me your name doesn't tell me who you are, Garret,"</em>she answered cautiously. Slowly, her body language saying she wasn't planning on running any further, she eased up on to all four legs again then sat back on her haunches, tail twitching slightly as curiosity battled fear, and the wolf relaxed even further under the clear gaze of this Alpha male.<br/><br/>She waited until he had finished speaking the second time to answer further.<em>"I think I figured out the 'turned in to a wolf', part.</em>Now her voice sounded dry, and even vaguely amused, but still careful. It was not in Leiah's nature to be a weak, easily frightened woman, and now that the initial shock was starting to fade, she was returning to normal.<em>"The question is, why?"</em>she continued.<em>"Should I go out on a limb and guess it has something to do with how you know my name? My dreams aren't nearly so weird, so I have to assume you're telling the truth."</em>Actually, she knew without a shadow of a doubt that he<em>was</em>telling the truth. Every word he said resonated perfectly with something deep inside her, and she could feel the rightness of them.<br/><br/>By now all of her whimpers had subsided, and while she waited for Garret to answer, she took the time to do a mental and partial visual inspection of her new body, looking at herself from every angle she could. While the average wolf could weigh about 90-110 pounds, though some very large individuals weighed closer to 200, her wolf body was about the size of a large Shetland pony, but with the power and speed of a predator. Her fur was silvery gray in the moonlight, but looked darker gray to black on the lower half of the hairs. During the day or on a cloudy night she could easily vanish in to the shadows. She also took the time to examine Garret, and realized he was even larger, and his tawny fur would also be fantastic camouflage. It then occurred to her, despite being an animal, she could still see in color.
