How To Shift Novels & Stories

“What?” “The brakes aren't working! They're melting! And the car is sliding all over the road! I'm losing control!” “Rayne, downshift! Try to slow it down manually. Can you see a safe place to steer into?” Downshift? What the hell does that mean? “What do you mean? I'm not exactly a racing expert! I can barely keep the car on the road!” “Listen! Shift into a lower gear, now! It'll help slow the car. Look for a safe spot to steer into, like a grassy median or a wide shoulder.”

I whispered back to Chase. "Shift change and newbies is what it boils down too. We need to get more training in. Shift change is taking 20 minutes and it should only take 3-5 minutes. I don't like the kids who are on this patrol right here. They play around too much." Damion explained

“Shit.” “I’ve got you,” Quin snaps, reaching out for my hand and pulling me along. I make the mistake of looking back to see the moment the wolves come to the edge of the decline. They start down, only for a moment before jumping into action. They slid and slid but even as they had to slow and dodge trees there still fast then is in their wolf forms. Quin suddenly veers sharper down the slope. “Shift,” she says. I blink. “What?” “Shift and run. You’ll be faster.” I hear the determination in her voice, and something about it unsettles me.

Almost falling over as I tried to pull my sweatpants on. As soon as I was dressed I grabbed the bag then walked back to him. Pulling his clothes out and setting them on the ground. "Shifting back is slightly different, your wolf should know how to do it, but you have to help. You have to come forward with him, and move the shift along. I don't really know how to explain it... I guess the best way to explain it, is to picture your human form. Your legs, arms, feet and hands.

she warned. "But how do I shift into a wolf?" Aruna laughed. "Oh, don't be silly. You won't really do an actual shift. You won't see or feel yourself shifting. Only people that see you will witness how you shift. So if you wanted to shift, just whisper the word 'shift'," she instructed... I smiled and then wore the necklace. I didn't feel anything changing within me so I shrugged. I smiled at my own reflection. "I'm ready to fool them..."

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."

“No offence.” I rolled my eyes at him. “None taken.” The joy died on my lips. “Um, Priestley?” He looked up. “Yeah?” “How do I…” “How do you what?” I knotted my hands together and rocked back on my heels. “How do I shift?” I muttered, fixing my gaze on the ground.

I asked. “Where’s the fun in that?” she asked. “Alright. So, one down, what’s next?” I asked. “Solo shift,” she said. “First, you get a friend. Next one is each of you. One at a time.” My stomach twisted into knots. I knew I had to go through the stages and do all the steps. Was I ever going to stop feeling nervous about shifting? “Kyle first,” she said. “Why did I put my pants back on?” He tugged his jeans off.

I ask immediately, and I don’t even have the time to think about it before the words are out of my mouth. “Shifting?” he questions, looking at me again. He’s responsible, never taking his eyes off of the road for more than a few seconds at a time, and that’s comforting to know. “It’ll hurt less and less every time, which is why I want you to do it a few more times before we get up there. If the Rogues catch us, you’ll need to shift quickly and run.” I nod, and lower my gaze to stare at his hand on my thigh.

"What if I shift again, and I can't change back?" "Shana, that wouldn't happen." "You don't know that!" she snapped, her eyes going back to the road. "What if one day, I wake up and I've shifted in my sleep? Or what if I shift in class one day? I wouldn't know what to do. I wouldn't know how to help myself." "You'd always be able to shift back. It's just something you need to get used to."
