Can being in a wolf pack influence your werewolf personality? Any where can you find wild wolf packs in the United States?
I feel like getting accepted into a wolf pack will make my werewolf personality stronger. I will bring medication (lots) for disease that I may get, but that's pretty much it. Where could I find one around North-Western Colorado? I love Twilight, and I want to be able to howl with pride without being judged, hunt deer for my pack, and not get feces, ticks, and fleas (hence the medication, for the wolves). If I was a "werewolf," that would be AMAZING!! I also need medication for excessive hair growth or a full-body hair suit that can fit my body tight (but not too tight, so I can still be agile and move without difficulty) so I can have the werewolf look, and I also need wolf teeth and molars for a reasonable price, and I need "howling lessons" because I really can't (yet). Please HELP ME!!!

Have you ever stopped to consider that if you have to use fake teeth, you are not in fact a werewolf?
Be social... It's a human desire in most people. You don't need a 'pack' to do that.
Secondly, if you really 'loved Twilight' you would understand that the things in that series are not werewolves, they even state this. They are shapeshifters... If you want to understand a werewolf's changing in modern media, the likes of Vampire Diaries are closer to actual lore.
Also, wtf are you planning on doing? Hunting animals with your bare hands? Even a deer would cause you serious harm... Also, 'faeces' is excrement. What on earth would you be 'getting' that from?
I think you need to perhaps gain a few years in life before offering yourself out so blindly.

Personally I feel this "question" is satire, but on the off-chance you're serious (I've seen crazier things):
Listen to real science, real medical fact, real truth.
1. Werewolves do not exist, except as a delusion (analogous to the m-shift). There is not one single humanoid being on this planet who can change his shape in ANY manner similiar to the legends of lycanthropy. There is absolutely NO concrete evidence at all of any such creature, and there is exhaustive scientific and medical facts as to why they do not exist, and could never exist:
2. There are no “potions” or “edibles” that can change you into anything. I have no doubt that some delusional person is going to tell you to consume wolfsbane, which is aconite, a deadly poison. There are no “bloodlines” – genetic werewolves do not exist. Real wolves and humans are two completely different species, chromosomally incompatible. No offspring from a union of the two species is possible. None. This is actual Science. If you cannot accept that, then you need to pay more attention in school, because this intellectual laziness is part of what is wrong with our country, as well as a uneducated and uninformed idea that Science is a "belief" or a "theory", instead of the factual truth that it is.
3. The legendary shapeshifting (new terminology is the pseudo term p-shift) would require a miraculous growth and loss of bone and bone
structure as the skeleton would reshape itself, a rearrangement of internal
organs and associated connective tissue, nervous pathways, and blood vessels -
requiring “movement” of these structure through deep tissue and muscle, a
complete repatterning of the entire DNA code – systemwide – a thickening of the
dermis and a spontaneous growth of fur from hair follicles generated on the
spot, a reallocation of body mass and spontaneous generation of body tissue, and
last but not least, a loss of brain tissue as the brain cavity “shrunk” to the
dimensions of the wolf cranium.
4. When you lose brain tissue, it is like a VHS tape being erased – any data or
associative functions stored there are gone for good – like in a stroke or TIA
(transient ischemic attack). A werewolf able to transform would (if he could)
return to human form suffering from severe retardation, and would be a drooling
idiot at best and a homicidal, animalistic killer at worst.
5. The caloric expenditure necessary to fuel such a transformation is so high it is
impossible – the human body (at its full size) cannot ingest that much food
during one digestive cycle to power such a change. Also, the pain involved would
be so excruciating that the system itself would begin to shut down, and blood
pressure and heart rate would go so sky high that the cardiac muscle would
rupture and the “werewolf” would die from a cardiac hemmorhage.
6. The idea that the state of being a werewolf is somehow transmitted by a bite
suggests a retrovirus, similiar to AIDS, that could rewrite the DNA code of its
host. This “retrovirus” would have to be incredibly strong, and would be
detectable by any form of bloodwork performed on the individual. If, like AIDS,
it would be resistant to all but a lethal cocktail of drugs designed to kill the
virus, then we would also see congenital transmission among children from their
parents. As no hospital is reporting a strange new retrovirus that causes its
victims to change shape, we can therefore assume with a good deal of confidence
that such a retrovirus does not exist.
7. There are no separate races of humanoids on this planet – by now they would have interbred with “regular” humans and we’d all be the same species anyway. The idea that a secret, parallel race exists alongside us, engaging in controlled breeding to “keep the bloodline pure” is delusional in the extreme.
8. The concept of werewolves being shapechanging, or humanoid wolves, is really absurd – wolves are descended from prehistoric canine creatures, the most famous example of which was the dire wolf. Humans are descended from upright, bipedal hominids. Nature (as in natural selection) “engineered” wolves and humans to be two totally different species, with different specializations and physical construction. Sure, there are “shapechanging” animals, such as maggots and caterpillars, but they can only change once, and can never revert to their original form. Such changes occur gradually, over a prolonged period. In order for a humanoid being to change into a wolf – or vice versa – it would require months of physical changes, and the creature would be in far too much pain to move, let alone feed. Soon the requirements of nutrition would slow the transformation down as the creature would no longer have the energy to fuel the change. It would waste away and die from starvation.
9. Anyone who tells you such things are real is either living in a fantasy, lying through their teeth, or are caught up in a delusion bordering on mental illness. The real danger lies in people who will tell you whatever you want to hear in order to get close enough to hurt you, such as pedophiles, rapists, and murderers – the only real monsters on our planet, and giving out your real location information is just asking for trouble.
