I am the wolf. The wolf's entire being is mine. It's instincts, like hunting and being in the pack or not trusting people, are things that I have to deal with. I can push them aside, like I am now, but they are always there.

"That must be difficult to deal with..."

You get used to it. You don't have to worry about your safety, if that's what you're thinking. I won't bite you.

He smiled, "I wasn't worried about that at all. I was more concerned with how difficult that must make it for you to maintain that form."

It gets easier every time I shift. Practice makes perfect in this case. If I get distracted and lose the image I'm holding, I'll shift back unexpectedly. Basically this is just another exercise in control and discipline.

He nodded. Control and discipline were things he could understand.

"I am uncertain if I could maintain pace with your form..." he said quietly.

I'll keep pace with you. It'll be fun. The wolf rubbed against his side and wagged its tail.

Valzar found himself smiling again, "Alright then...as long as we don't get lost." He started off at a slow trot heading deeper into the forest.

We won't get lost. I have an excellent sense of direction. Her voice was laughing in his head. She easily kept up with him as they went further into the woods. She saw a large rock formation and climbed it, curiously sniffing the rocks for signs of other animals. She sent all the information she gathered back to Valzar. There have been other wolves here. She raised her head and suppressed the urge to howl and find out where they were.

Wolves aren't dangerous to ponys...are they? Valzar questioned timidly.

You are safe with me. I will not call them to us. Even if I did, they would know me and honor my wishes. I spend a lot of time with the wolves.

He glanced at her curiously, You don't seem like the predatory type...

The wolf shook its head and bounded back down the rocks next to Valzar. I don't think I am, either. But I spend my time with the wolves to be free from my father and his expectations. I don't have to worry about what type of lifemate I will be bound to when I'm in this form. I've always wanted a lifemate, but the closer I come to age the more scared I get that I'll be bound to a caveman who will be rough with me and won't understand me.
