“Well I know cliché again, but-” I replied. “You wanna name her Callie?” John asked. Then I gave him a look. Not a dirty look though, just a ...ook. “What? What's that look for?” John asked. “You shouldn't assume, it makes an ass out of you and me,” I replied. “Oh I'm sorry sweetheart,” John said. Then I gave him a kiss. “You maybe an ass, but you are my ass,” I said. Then we both laughed for a minute. “If you hate the idea, let me know. If we have a girl, we should name her Jeanette,” I said.. As we walked, my mind was buzzing with what all this meant, how this was going to work, what life was going to be like, and how does a 21st century girl suddenly become a wolf-woman in a wolf pack.When we climbed through the gap into the area outside the cave, the wolves were noticeably nervous about the warmth emanating from inside it. I entered the cave and that again seemed to make it acceptable, especially when the little one I rescued followed me inside. The other two pups weren’t far. A light bulb glowed faintly through the dust laden atmosphere.Everything was quiet.“What happened?” the girl shouted.“Thunder,” Oleg laughed.Part of the ceiling had collapsed. As the dust settled they saw the kitchen door was off its hinges. The big refrigerator had been knocked sideways and leaned drunkenly against a sink unit. Water poured from a ruptured pipe.Oleg picked up his bag. “Time to go.”he said looking for a way out.The window over the sink still had some glass left in it so Oleg. Cleo seeing her partner, sped past me to see what was going on. She too stopped at the entrance peering inside, wagging her tail.I began to wish I'd brought my rifle as I cautiously approached the doorway. I called out to see if anyone was there, knowing those two visitors were long gone and thinking maybe that riderless horse had left someone here. I didn't hear a reply, so I sent the girls in to flush whatever or whoever it was out.Just as the dogs disappeared into the barn, I heard a female.
