Affirmation For Shifting Novels & Stories

“I-I’m sh-shifting.” This is going to hurt.

I took it, and with a gentle tug, he pulled me to my feet, closing the small distance between us once again. “Shifting isn’t really hard,” he began calmly, keeping a light hold on my hand. “Just like birds can fly and fish can swim, shifting is just as natural for us. It’s already inside you. You just have to let it out.” “But how?” I whispered, looking down at our joined hands. “My mom always told me it was painful, that it takes completely breaking yourself to let the wolf through.”

I almost smile “Yeah.” Because that’s all we ever do Adapt Risk Change The Final Shift I take a step forward The system responding instantly Aligning Preparing Because this This is going to change everything again ************************************************* As I begin to reach into the system To define something that was never meant to be defined It reacts Instantly Violently Not resisting Not attacking Responding My eyes widen “…Wait.” Theodore tenses “What now?!” I stare into the shifting system Watching something impossible happen “…It’s not waiting for us to define it…”

And that steadied something in me. Because that was the fear, wasn’t it? That becoming more meant disappearing. But I hadn’t disappeared. I had changed form. I focused again. Testing. Trying to act. To move. And something happened. The flow shifted. Not because I forced it. Because I influenced it. Small. Subtle. But real. My chest tightened. “I can affect it.” “Yes.” “How much?” A pause. Then. “Relative to alignment.” “Meaning?” “The more you align, the more influence you have.”

A massive warm hand covering my shoulder, and his voice deep and calm behind me, “You need to shift. It has been too long, hasn’t it?” “I. I am not sure, but Drifta needs to shift, and I feel like shit.” “I see; I know wolves need to shift regularly. Especially in the beginning, it strengthens the bond between beast and human. Let your connection settle and let your beast land properly, place all paws on the ground, and find their pack, home, and human. So you need to shift; it will drain her if you don’t, and it has already been long enough. “

Amari suggested and I felt her enthusiasm. “Wouldn’t it hurt?” “Don’t worry. Max said it will only hurt the first time.” I was relief on what she said. Honestly, I am also excited to shift. I think I had fully accepted who I am and I’m eager to learn more. But I guess I’ll be doing it on my own. I stood up and walk to a more clear space in the house. I then closed my eyes and concentrated more. Breathe in, then breathe out.

“It’s time. I can't hold it back anymore, it's been too long. If I don't do it now, we may both lose it forever. Just hold on please, I'm trying to make this happen as quickly as I can.” “Please, try harder. It feels like my body is splitting in two and I don't think I can take it anymore.” Okay, now I wanted the water again but I didn't tell Adrian. “You need to be strong, Kaya. We are going to do a great good to our kind so it's not going to be easy at first. Just hold on please." I'd heard that shifting was painful and terrible but I didn't expect it to be this bad. This should be a punishment, a fatal one.

I stepped forward, letting my voice carry through the group. “You think shifting makes you invincible? It doesn’t.” My gaze locked onto each of them, daring them to challenge me. "The King’s army isn’t foolish. They have prepared for us. If we charge in as beasts, we’ll fall into their traps. Silver will burn through your skin before you even reach the enemy. Fire will devour you faster than you can heal.” The warriors remained silent, absorbing my words. "Shifting is not a weapon. It’s a last resort. A tool to be used when the time is right. When they think they’ve beaten us—that is when we turn into monsters.”

I said already tired of talking. "Hmm... This one is hard Nicole. Have you ever shifted?" "Shifted? No!" I knew what shifting was and I knew I have never ever shifted. "What does shifting have to do with this." "The trick to this Nicole is shifting. You have to go to a forest, shift, and run round the forest to let out the steam. That's just all. It isn't so hard, but hard for those that haven't ever shifted. It would also be satisfying if you injure the said girl he was cheating on you with. That's a trick, Nicole." Phils explained and I knew what he was saying was way way not for me. I haven't shifted and don't think I would ever shift.

I inquired, offering her a sense of control amidst the chaos. "Shift back, please. But how?" Panic tinged her voice, betraying her fear of the unknown. "Relax first. Clear your mind and visualize yourself in your human form. Focus on your hair, your skin, your legs," I instructed, guiding her through the process with patience and reassurance. "It may be a bit painful to shift back for the first time, but with time, the discomfort will fade."
