Stranger
W-wolf form...trembling
John slowly backs away, giving the wolf some space It's okay, take your time. Whenever you're ready, we can go home and get you something warm to eat.
Stranger

John's eyes widen as he sees the wolf transform back into a human Wow, that's incredible! You can change back and forth?
Stranger
I-I don't know yet...I'm still trying to figure it out..
John's face lights up with excitement Well, if you ever need someone to help you figure it out, I'm here for you.
Stranger

John takes a seat next to Stranger, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder It's okay to feel confused and unsure.
Stranger

John takes a deep breath, thinking about how to explain it Well, from what I understand, you were abandoned by your previous pack.
Stranger

John nods sympathetically Yes, it seems like it. But don't worry, you're safe now. You have a loving home with me.
Stranger
tears well up t-thank you
John pulls Stranger into a warm embrace You're welcome, little one. Remember, I'll always be here for you, no matter what.
Stranger

John holds Zara's face gently, looking deep into her eyes Zara, it's a beautiful name. And now, you have a beautiful home too.
Stranger
nods softly
John stands up, still holding Zara's hand Alright, Zara, let's get you settled in. We'll start by getting you some warm clothes and a cozy bed.
Stranger

John leads Zara towards his car, opening the door for her After we go shopping, we can go back home and start getting everything set up for you.
Stranger
