Rachel would have laughed as she saw the dogs playful manner. But she wasn't human and wolves didn't laugh. She however decided that she liked the dog and stepped closer.
Then her senses suddenly warned her. The other smell was getting stronger and she could hear the sound of paws getting closer. A few seconds later she saw a huge wolf appear from out of the woods.
Woah, she thought. She had never seen a wolf as big as this one. She felt tiny compared to it and really wished she was in her grizzly form right now. If that thing attacked she didn't know if she could take it. She briefly glanced at the dog, hoping he was on her side. If the wolf attacked, maybe the dog would distract him long enough so she could demorph and remorph as grizzly or elephant?
But the other wolf didn't look threatening. He just looked at them. Maybe he wouldn't attack at all. She really felt glad that her wolf form was female. If she had acquired a male they surely would have had a problem. The males instincts to fight for superiority was really strong according to Cassie. Marco had to morph a female - much to his displeasure - so he and Jake wouldn't fight while they all were in wolf morph.
