Earth and Lunar Dreaming — C.M. Simpson

When werewolf, Chitin's, nightly solitude is interrupted by a small child seeking his help, he does not suspect that her plea will touch his dreams for the world of his ancestors. He is determined to refuse her, but she is just as determined to gain his protection, and leaves him little choice but to help -- at least at the start.

Earth and Lunar Dreaming is set in the same universe as the poems, In Memory of Hummingbirds, and The Halls of the Moon.
