Hmm well if you like both types why don't you do both? Have be wolf 'form' that can turn bi-pedal at will? Well with the shifting you could make it where they have shift willingly unless it a full moon? Just a thought. The wolves have some of potion that the humans use for controlling them? :) Very interesting idea. Oh, well I'm glad to hear that it good things with your family!

I love your idea of the werewolves being tribal. I hadn't thought of that. I'm really looking forward to hearing more about them and their traditions once you figure it out. It shall be fun to see how you make them different than we think of with werewolves. Well you be changing the things that are their weaknesses also?

By the way now that I think of it. I think it should be more than twenty years, maybe thirty? Because if it was that shortly ago. Either the princess would be to young. Or she would be old enough to remember everything and I don't think she would let the Alpha go.
