I had an idea and decided to do it before I worked on page 4 😂This ISN'T a part of the AU, though part of me wants to make it an AU within an AU and just make everything confusing :'D

Boris is small in his wolf form. Most turned wolves are smaller than born wolves, but he also doesn't/hasn't been able to put much time to building himself up as much as others do, and therefore is only slightly bigger than the average female.
Mica is larger than the average male and CODE is a Dire Wolf and therefore a mountain, so Boris would look absolutely tiny compared to the two of them since they're the biggest wolves of the Pack-Nest.
So, being a smaller male and trying to impress not only the Alpha female, but the Alpha female who is twice your size, is a rather difficult feat especially since she can literally pick you up and throw you if you irritate her.

No wonder the poor guy is so nervous. 😂 I feel like him and CODE would at least somewhat get along even though CODE is a partial Mute and rarely speaks while Boris will occasionally never shut up
