They ended up not at a hotel, but a small campground as it was cheaper. Dr. Mark figured that the pack would be comfortable enough sleeping out doors as he slept in the car. For the pack, it was just like normal, but for Shannon, it was something else. Noah was among them now, a human boy she really liked. The others giggled and ribbed her about it, but despite her snarls and protests, she ...really liked having him here and didnt really mind the others teasing her about it. Most everyone situated themselves in their werewolf forms somewhere nearby, but Noah insisted on staying close to her as nighttime approached.
"I want to see you change," He said softly, with a blush.
Despite herself, Shannon felt a sudden awkwardness. Normally she would just change freely and be happy to be her true self. Now this boy wanted to watch her change, it was awkward. So far he didnt know her, not the human her. She'd done her best to hide that from him with her changes, and ordering everyone to call her alpha. She gulped and slowly nodded, "On one condition."
"Uh huh?" he blinked.
"I...I want you to give me a name." She said. "The others call me Alpha in this form, but I want a name a true werewolf name ...and I want you to give it to me."
The boy blinked with wide eyes, but he nodded after a moment. "Let me see you change and I think I can come up with one."
Shannon nodded and allowed the change to flow over her. It was still strange, awkward in a way, watching this boy watch her as she became nude, then wolf before him. Standing tall, albeit a bit gawky, she hoped he didnt see the blush through her fur. "Well?"
The boy stood agape for a good long while, a blush clear on his cheeks. He averted his eyes a moment. "Your...uh...beautiful."
Shannon felt her tail wag as one paw scuffed the earth. "Th...thanks...so...what will you call me?"
He considered a moment and said, "Moonclaw..."
The moment he said it a strange sensation filled the girl. Her name of Shannon felt strange, she knew it as a name....but....just a moniker. Her real name, her true name now was Moonclaw. With a soft gasp, she let out a breath and took his hands. "YOu can sleep near me...if you like."
The boy nodded silently, and the two nestled together.
"I ah...' She started, scuffing a foot on the ground.
He blushed immediately, "Uh...if that's okay..."
