We've learned early that transforming Horo's form always costs a price, be that blood or wheat; at the end of the first arc Horo even had to bite Lawrence for this purpose, explicitly asking him to endure it.
But during episode 12 and 13 Horo needs several transformation and suddenly can perform them on a whim and without any preconditions...?

It isn't necessarily a plot hole. The compensation that Horo typically requires to transform is either eating some wheat or drinking fresh blood. In this instance, she used some of the wheat in the pouch she wears around her neck to initiate the transformation. She never transforms in episode 12 as she confronted the pack of wolves in her human form and it was implied that she prostrated herself to them in order to allow her human companions safe passage through their territory.
