Back to Wolfwalker! Stan, after being bitten, definitely takes a while to adjust to his new situation. But it proves quite useful during his time on the road.
By this point he's already become involved with Rico and his gang, so transforming into a wolf while sleeping helps him stay more alert and saves him from dangerous situations.
I mean, no one expects a bigger than normal wolf while you're trying to ambush someone sleeping in their car, huh? So yes, Stanley uses this to his advantage a lot
Until they catch him when he's awake, he can't fall asleep now and he's hurt and he's sure he's going to die by one of Rico's guys in the middle of nowhere, without having achieved his goal and seeing his twin brother again
And then unconsciously and out of pure adrenaline he ends up connecting with a small pack of wolves that was nearby, , which results in these wolves jumping on the guy and managing to save Stanley's life
Now Stan has to deal with this new pack that follows him everywhere and snuggles up to him when he's careless or turns into a wolf, he doesn't know what to do lol
Yes, this happens before the whole disaster of him being captured and losing his body and his car
