I'm looking for a story, and I believe that the title of the story is HER HEART IS WILD – no, WILD HEART.  In this story, a lioness's heart is transplanted into a young girl's body, and she gains the power to become a were-lioness at will and at the time of the full moon as well.

Might it be…'Heart Untamed'?

Can't be my transgenic character from Lasting Impressions, no surgery was required.  😉 ;D 8)

Yes, I suppose the title could be HEART UNTAMED, but I just don't know for sure, Lonebeatle.

The story also features a character known as Wendy the Werewolf.

Your name is too awesome  :-*

I think you're mixing stories, if I'm right Wendy is in totally a different tale.
There's a chance that it could be from the same writer, though.

No, no – I distinctly remember that in HER HEART IS WILD, the heroine is a fan of a newly-emergent heroine who I believe is called SilverSide or Dark Claw, who, of course, is none other than good old Wendy the Werewolf.

I see, this narrows the search and definitively you're mixing up characters and tales so let me get my contacts and cross your fingers; that fangirl did ring a bell.

No, I'm not mixing up characters or tales, Lonebeatle.  The story was about a girl who was a fan of a recently-emerged werewolf superhero, who, unbeknownst to her, was her best high school, friend, Wendy.  The girl had a weak heart, and was largely confined to a wheelchair until she visited a zoo one day in search of some missing big cats, and ended up in the clutches of a mad scientist who captured her and transplanted the heart of a lioness into her body, then took her to a hospital.  She recovered from the surgery and seemed to improve to the point where she was in excellent health.  Later, when she and Wendy went back to the zoo, it was at the time of the full moon, and both the girl and Wendy began to transform – Wendy into the superheroine – damn it, I can't seem to remember her code name! – and the girl into a lioness-creature.  The lioness-creature went feral and rushed into the bg cats' area, only to find the mad scientist there, who explained what he had done to the girl to save her life.  He was sent packing by Wendy in her superheroine guise, and the girl became Wendy's assistant.  I understand further that the Wendy the Werewolf character was used with her creator's consent.
