How To Shift Novels & Stories

As time passed, the pain became unbearable and all I could hear from Athena was, ” Sorry, Raven? You can do this. We will get through it . You are stronger than you think. Just concentrate and give me control. Don’t block me out, okay?” I nodded, breathing harshly. I want the pain to go away and the only way to get rid of it was if I shift . ” Raven relax … let me in Raven. The shift will take a few minutes. “

He pecked my lips one last time before taking a few steps backward, yet his eyes never left mine. “Shift,” With one last look, he turned around but I did catch the small smile that started to form at the corner of his lips. I took his shirt off, leaving my body completely naked to nature’s eyes as I tangled it around my ankle. I did as I was told to, my heart fluttering at his deep voice. I was informed before how to shift by my brother and even Dimitrius did explain. It wasn’t a tough task, you simply think about it hard enough to make your body oblige.

“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!”

I've never shifted before,' Hope says, looking away, ashamed. 'Well, it's much easier if you take all your clothes off first,' I say with a cheeky grin. Hope chuckles and blushes. ‘Okay,’ Hope says as she walks to me and removes her clothes one by one, giving me a sexy wink. She’s completely naked, smiling at me, 'Wands, babe,' I say in a frisky tone. I sit in the middle of the bed and pat my lap for Hope to come to me. 'Now, the first time you shift will hurt at first. Try not to fight the pain. It will pass quicker,’ I explain.

After the war between humans and shifters, an alliance was formed to keep the peace. The price? Daughters of the human nobility had to choose a shifter as their mate. The first half-blood born from this union would become the new ruler, ensuring that peace would last. As the eldest daughter of the Morrison family, I was the first to be chosen. But right after I chose the wolf Alpha, Calvin, I saw a vision on our engagement day. Because I failed to conceive after six months, Calvin locked me in a cage, determined to use me as a vessel for his pure bloodline. After I finally gave birth to the prophesied hybrid, my sister, Trina, appeared, claiming she wanted to take care of me. But the truth

Once I’ve removed my t-shirt and sports bra, I quickly call my wolf forward. My vision goes shimmery and I feel the familiar surge of energy as my bones snap and rearrange, and in a few seconds I’m down on all fours, shaking out my fur. When I first learned to shift, the transformation was painful. Now, it’s second nature. I barely feel a thing. I glance down at the soft earth under my tan paws, stretch, then circle back to the path.

But maybe I could just shift quickly in that case, and he won’t see anything. The second shift isn’t as startling as the first. All my body parts go smoothly into place, and Rhia seems calm. Then again, there’s no one here threatening her, and this time, I’m expecting the shift. Things may have been fine the first time around, too, had I known what day it was in advance. Maybe they shouldn’t keep their calendars locked up around here. The physical act of shifting back and forth feels natural now. I do it easily over a dozen times.

Rylan said, the moment I cleared the door, "we work on transitioning back. Not just holding the shift. Shifting out of it cleanly." "What's wrong with how I do it now?" "You land on your hands and knees." "Dramatically," I added. "I land dramatically." "Smooth shifts save time," he said, ignoring me completely. "Time saves lives." I rolled my shoulders back. "Very inspiring." I shifted. Bones, fur, the world dropping two feet and rebuilding itself wider and sharper. The smells of the yard hit me all at once, damp soil, grass, Rylan's jacket, something dead and small near the far fence that we were all apparently pretending wasn't there.

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 must be looking upset. "How can I shift? I mean, is there some process for it"? I asked him sitting on the couch. He moved to sit by my side too. "Baby there is no such thing as a process to shift. You just have to call your wolf and you will shift". He placed his hand on my shoulder. "Call how? Swift come here"? I flipped my fingers and laughed. "Not like that baby. He isn’t a puppy. Look, you actually feel your wolf responding to you. When you laugh, when you are sad. When you are excited or when you are near your mate. It's your wolf....".
