Phantom Shift Novels & Stories

Phone, phone, where's my damn phone? “Reels Empire.” Mr. Grey's voice rumbles. A rich, dark timber that vibrates through the car. “Yes, boss. Routing to destination,” chimes the car’s automated system. I force a nervous swallow. My sweaty palms grip the steering wheel, and I try to project an air of professionalism. On the GPS screen, the route unfolds. My fingers, still shaky, turn the key in the ignition, and the car hums to life. I fidget in my seat, scooching forward to reach the pedals. I might as well be as short as a hobbit in a land of orcs.

His smile turned to one of concern and his face became serious. “What do you mean? You said you never got the shifting gene, so you can’t be seventeen.” My eyes widened at his words. That wasn’t what we were told in school. My voice started to come out shaky as thoughts began racing through my mind. “What are you talking about? That’s basic shifting. We learn that as children when we start school. If a Shifter has not transformed by their sixteenth birthday, then it means the shifting gene is absent, and they were cursed to live as humans.

I whispered. Kian bumped my shoulder. “Welcome to the shifter realm. We don’t do small.” No kidding. --- Inside was even worse. Shops stacked on shops. People everywhere. Giant holographic ads floating above escalators. "What's that" I pointed to a vent relaseing a must. "Oh that's just Scent-neutralizing vents releasing. They help to prevent alphas and Omega's from reacting to each others scents " Kai explained and I nodded still confused but well....

"You're observant for a southern runaway. No. A good portion of the Remnant carry the blood of the Ghost-Shifters. A lineage the high houses tried to purge decades ago." "Ghost-Shifters?" I murmured. "An anomaly in the bloodlines," Edith explained. "Standard werewolves value the full shift, the crushing weight of the jaw, the brute strength of a four-legged beast. But Ghost-Shifters possess a partial-turn ability. They don't become full wolves. Instead, they manifest traits mid-combat, which is a sudden lengthening of claws, an unnatural density in the bone, a phantom speed that makes them look like they're blinking out of existence for a split second. The Alphas hated it. They called it a d

"If he's gonna make it I could use your help getting him home, before he bleeds out!" A moment of hesitation was all Ezekiel got this time, before his brothers all moved back into the shadows and De-Shifted. The change from Shifter to man, or as his people called it De-Shifting; was always accompanied by an intense blast of energy all along a Shifters skin. Most felt it like a hot wave across the skin and face, which is exactly what Ezekiel felt cascaded across the still night air, times three. Sharp heat prickled across his skin, as he watched his three brothers meld from one shape into another.

Zack stayed still, listening attentively to Damien. “But, if the rejected ones succeed in making the ones that rejected them regret their harsh decisions, they have another chance to make it right. Maybe it was a mistake at first. Then, after time passes by, they realize they would go insane without their mates to anchor them down to earth,” Damien said, smiling as he turned to look at Zack in the dark. His grey eyes glittered through the harsh lighting. His friend knew that Zack was there all along. “And with that in mind, fair maiden, we can all agree that we only live for our destined ones, fated mates that had been decreed by the Moon Goddess for the legendary Shifters of Cyprus,” he sai

He asked anxiously as the other car approached. “We will try to bluff our way through,” Heath decided, his eyes flicking to Cameron’s wrist. “Don’t…” Cameron said softly, knowing that Heath’s choices were being made because the cuff of Cameron’s wrist meant that he could not shift. “We don’t know that I can’t shift. I haven’t tried it. Don’t stay because of me. If things get f-ked up, Heath, shift and run. I’ll see what happens - ”

Xue Yun also shared some melon seeds with her host. "Oh, isn't he the second male lead and the most enthusiastic pursuer of Fang Qingfei? He is surely one of the reasons that Fang Qingfei had connection to the underworld and her company smoothly entered the business industry without any kind of harm…..But now I have become his goddess, isn't the plot changing too quickly? Xue Yun, tell me truthfully, is this actually a low-level, F class world?" Yu Meng felt that she just came and didn't even do anything, yet the butterfly effect is so powerful that the people are already changing like this. So in her conclusion, she just feels the world is just too low-levelled.

I left them there and went back to my place. Rafael was right: everyone knew I had a thing for Thorne. However, Thorne had too much pride. He thought it was shameful to get ahead because of a woman, and he could not stand being under someone's thumb. He could not imagine not even being able to choose his own mate. Besides, his attention had subtly shifted toward someone else, but my famous crush made it hard for him to be around her freely. Whenever I tried to show him I liked him, he just rolled his eyes.

As they stepped outside, Damon pulled out his phone, and quickly sent a message to Jason: To: Jason Hey, need a favor. Can you cover for me in chemistry? Taking Aqua to my spot. Jason's reply came swiftly, a reassuring presence amid Damon's concern: From: Jason Sure thing, man. Is everything okay? Damon hesitated for a moment before responding, his fingers tapping out a reply filled with unspoken worry: To: Jason Yeah, just want to help Aqua out. She's having a rough time. As Damon glanced down at his phone, a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips when he saw Jason's response. The simple message, accompanied by a winky face emoji, conveyed a sense of camaraderie and encouragement tha
