How Do I Shift Novels & Stories

said Shadow, leaning in to kiss me on the cheek and whispered, “You’re my favorite naked guy.” I smiled at her. “Do you realize they can still hear you?” “They know you’re my favorite, duh.” She rolled her eyes in amusement. “Okay.” He blew a few breaths and did a warm-up, shaking limbs. “Then what now?” “Relax your body. Think about your wolf. Sometimes, our emotions play a huge factor that triggers us to shift. He can also help you. Just open your thoughts and open yourself for the change.” “That one I know,” Calder said nervously.

Unlike most shifters, our shift is smooth and with no pain so shifting from either Clara’s Leopard form or Elizabeth’s human one, my shift will always be flawless and non-painful. I stretch my legs, my body and then my wings as I swim under the surface of the water.

We’re both dressed in comfortable clothing as I take her hand and walk to the edge of the forest. “I’m nervous,” she says, squeezing my hand. “It’s going to hurt, right?” “You’ve fought me before and you’re asking if shifting will hurt?” I say, chuckling. “It’s a comfortable pain you get used to, don’t worry.” Taking her to a clearing in the forest next to a stream so she can shift away from prying eyes, we strip off our clothing and I ask her to take calming breaths. “Clear your mind and think only about your wolf. Speak with her, let her know she’s about to take your place, and feel the soil beneath her paws again. Ask her to go slow because too much pain at a time will cause your body to

I stiffly asked him again. “This part is going to be a bit fun.” He said and my frown vanished to be replaced by a small smile. “Oh.” “Not for you.” My frown came back. “Oh.” I muttered with a falling tone and Rowan started to speak. “During your unconscious shifting, the moon goddess used the emotions you were feeling as a cue to help you shift and reflect her power through you so now, if you want to shift, you have to tap into some of those emotions or create new ones to be able to shift.” He explained conclusively.

It didn’t, but I nodded anyway. “When that happens, you’ll feel the need to give it control; you mustn’t do that. Not at first. You must ease into the shift, if you let the wolf take you right away not only will you lose its respect and power, but it can be catastrophic for your body as well as those around you.” He explained. “How do I ease into it?” I questioned. “By telling the wolf who it belongs to. Your first shift will be spent mostly in your head, while your body goes on a rampage in a battle-state.”

“Fine, let’s get this over with.” Jennie gives me a patient smile. “First, you need to calm down. Take a deep breath, clear your mind, and focus on shifting back. Picture yourself in your human form.” “Clear my mind, huh? Great advice for someone whose mind is currently a dumpster fire,” I said, above a whisper. But I close my eyes and try to follow her instructions. I take a deep breath, focusing on the image of my human self. For a moment, I feel like I would actually shift, but then the pain hits me like a truck. My muscles spasm, and I’m back to square one. “Dammit!”

Lillah’s body still shook, on the cusp of a shift, “ I don’t think Neeri is in the mood to listen right now.” “That’s ok, we shall still try, you will have to practice at this.” He stroked her face. “Lillah, you have to step back while Neeri steps forward. Part of the issue is that you do not give way, the other part is that Neeri forces control. Look.” He picked a flower from the meadow. “When you shift you are turning every petal and the flower head individually to make it face the other way.” He demonstrated, destroying the flower in the process. “What you need to do,” He picked another flower, “is just turn.”

“Dude.” I stared at him. “You’re telling me to shift. In public. On campus? Bro are you here to actually advice and help me or are you here to just destroy me? What the actual fuck bro. I can't even shift even if I wanted to do it. Just so you're reminded. ”

He gave Jenny a wink. They walked off as I checked Cathy’s wound. It wasn’t fully healed, but she could shift back now. “All right, angel. It’s time. I know you’re scared ‘cause this is all new, but we shifters do this all the time. You’ll just have to catch up. To shift back, you need to close your eyes and think. Think about your human body. How you stand on two feet. Your gorgeous red locks.” I grinned. “Even between your luscious thighs. Think human, and you’ll just shift.”

Kyle said. “It might help you, too,” Sheila said. Kyle didn’t look convinced. “What do you want us to start with?” “First point is shifting at will. Without the influence of the moon,” Sheila said. Kyle pulled his shirt over his head. “Easy enough.” Nervous flutters filled my stomach. I’d shifted once on my own, during a full moon. I knew it was coming, of course. It made sense that I’d need to learn to shift at will, but it was a big step.
