My wolf growled, this time it was more assertive and firm, I was startled and shocked by its intensity such that the plate almost slipped from my hands. Debbie reached out instantly to help me regain my momentarily lost balance and I couldn't explain the phenomenon I was going through. "You should probably rest, you look weird." Debbie
