Chapter 150

Katrina’s POV

Another wave came, stronger than before. My legs twisted, my bones snapping, stretching, reforming. I cried out again, the sound more like a howl than a scream. My nails lengthened into claws, tearing through the dirt as I clawed at the ground.

I could feel my face shifting too, my jaw snapping forward, my teeth sharpening, my vision blurring and then sharpening again until everything looked different, brighter, clearer.

The fire inside me finally broke free. It wasn’t just pain anymore—it was energy, raw and wild, exploding through every part of me.

And then, suddenly, it was over.

I collapsed onto the ground, panting, my body no longer trembling in agony. My heart pounded, but not like before. It was steady. Powerful. Different.

I blinked, and everything around me came into focus. The trees glowed silver under the moonlight. I could see every leaf, every shadow. The scent of the forest rushed into me, so sharp and overwhelming I staggered back.

I looked down—and froze.
