Affirmation For Shifting Novels & Stories

“Forget the price. I am going to kill you right here and…” I did not know why he hesitated but I was not about to wait and find out. I picked myself off the ground and readied to sprint. If I could put a little distance between me and these men then I could have enough time to shift. The numbness had faded and the fatigue had set in. I felt pain all over my weary body so a shift was all I could do. Shifting was the only advantage I could give myself.

Are we truly healed enough, and could we shift soon? ‘Sweet girl, I’m excited to run and shift finally! I think we could probably do it now, but I want you to eat more and have a solid night of rest before we put our body through that, okay? I can wait one more day. The first shift is always a painful one, and I want to make sure that we’re one hundred percent before we try.’ “Kara said that we would probably be okay to shift now, but that she wants to give us another day to ensure that I’m fully rested before I put my body through the shift.”

“Strength without control is useless. Now strike.” Steel clashed again and again. The rhythm was sharp and relentless. I watched every movement closely, correcting grips, kicking ankles apart when stances weakened, knocking blades aside when arms grew lazy. “The wolf shifters will hold their form until they feel their bones strain,” I commanded to another group shifting partially, claws extending while remaining upright. “You do not shift to escape pain. You shift to master it.” A growl echoed from one of the younger warriors as he forced himself through the transition. I did not soften.

“Things are just getting interesting.” “I think it’s good enough that you can start the shift… We should take this one step at a time. After all, we don’t know how your body will handle this back and forth pain.” “I am invincible,” I declare.. That was what they told me. At least, that was the case for the previous shifters. I could only hope that the same could be said for me. “Do you feel this working?” Will questioned me. “Let us see,” I said. I took a step closer to Will.

“Your body might be starting the shifting process, Sky. You can’t just discount discomfort.” I took her wrist and gently moved it away from my neck. “How about I try to make dinner and you tell me about how this whole thing works.” Her eyebrow went up. “Did you…did you not learn about shifting?” Pulling out a knife and cubing up the spam, I laughed. “I mean, you kind of tend to tune out things you don’t think you’re ever going to need. Plus, when everyone around us was shifting, we were pretty much on lock down to make sure we wouldn’t. Since it’s not a birthday thing, Father thought we might shift past the inhibitor.”

I winced, my heart kicking. Darius’ expression softened. He took a step forward before he stopped himself. "I know, baby. Shifting is painful. I won't lie and say the pain will stop the more you shift. It won't. But it'll get easier and you'll become used to it. Your first shift hurt like hell. Your second will also hurt like that but lessen just by a little. Third, fourth, fifth, and you won't feel like you'll want to die." I took a deep breath. "So… so this shift will be as painful as the first?"

Even in wolf form he’s bigger than me. Where’s the justice in that ? He nudges me with his nose and I know he wants me to shift. I take a few breaths and prepare for the pain. Shifting is painful for anyone but you eventually build up a tolerance to it the more you shift and it becomes quicker and easier. Unless of course you are someone like me who only shifts when I absolutely have to. Then it’s slow and painful. “Nala, it’s time” I call to her here. I feel her running in my mind , quick to want to take over. She reaches forward and pain slams into me as the shift begins.

I asked "I have been shifting for years, and it's only the first shift that takes some time" he replied making me nod my head in understanding "You didn't look like you were in pain" I said and he chuckled a little "It is because you don't feel pain when you shift after the first few times" he replied with a smile "Don't worry, you will feel a little soreness when you shift the next time, you won't feel so much pain" he assured and I sighed in relief

Pythia POV: Everything seemed so different but the same. There has been so much new information and not enough time to process it. I could hear peoples conversations from all over, I could not only feel their emotions but could see them. "Is it still overwhelming?" Tye asked. "A little, I mean with seeing emotions and intentions and hearing literally everyone it's kind of hard to separate them." I replied. "Think of it as ropes, you need to untangle them and then once they are separated it'll be much easier to handle." Tye said gently. "So how does shifting work? Does it hurt? You all make it seem so easy.'' I said. "It might hurt a little at first but the more you do it the easier and faste

I tipped my chin up to meet the piercing gaze of Valentin. “This method of shifting is particularly successful in young wolves,” he said softly. “It forces your body to get used to the shift quicker and it forces the body to accept it quicker. It’s harsh but it works.” My chest was still heaving. “How many times to get it to work?” “Usually, I can get a wolf to max out at about ten shifts per minutes,” he tilted his head. “You got to five.”
