[ the wolf's thoughts aren't exactly rocket science. the breakdown is easy: there's pack, and then there's everything else. the everything else is a threat, a cause to be wary and hostile. that natural instinct is always amped up by the sense that he's been in a cage for the majority of the month.
that means the wolf is hostile, of course, but it's a very normal, animal response. there's nothing supernatural in the anger. if you keep a wolf in a cage and then drop it into a strange environment, there's a tendency for it to react badly, to want to play it safe and get rid of or avoid potential threats. it's the reason josh got away with shifting in the woods and not hurting anybody. if the wolf can keep to himself, he will.
the feeling of calm is enough to offset that tense edge. there's still no sense of trust, but his irritation at derek's presence starts to give way to a wary curiosity as he tests the air for the new scent. ]
