"Yeah, well, this shifting business is still kind of new to me. And I know what it's like to have someone to force their will onto you and I don't like thinking I could do that to Sam... or anyone else." Sam can pick up the wolf growling in the background in obvious disagreement.

"Well...

...Maybe there's more to this 'pack' thing than you thought, at first. Back home, I had several different relationships with, uh, my Sam. One was based on us as just two people, and was more or less 'normal', and another was as follower-and-goddess. She needed both of them, whether she realized it or not.

You're a wolf, hairy. And you don't have another wolf to, uh, be with, so you reached out. And your, uh, packmate has the ability to fill that role for you. Telepathy's a heck of a drug."

"I just want to help shoulder the load, love."

As she says this, she opens up her end of the link, letting everything flow freely. She lets go of some of her control over her form, trying to allow herself to become what Tereza, the wolf, or both need or want her to be right now.

Tereza is experiencing a lot of self-loathing at the moment and, though she tries to hold it back, that becomes obvious across the link. The wolf is angry as she believes she did what she had to do and that's not something they should be embarrassed about. The internal fight between them is a little vicious.

"And I saw threats everywhere. One more dangerous than the others, but everything was either a threat or prey in some way. I only convinced her to back down when she saw she was hurting you. What's worse? I let her have that control. I knew she was a dangerous animal and I handed her the reins."
