Shapeshift Power Novels & Stories

If she wasn’t hiding under this fake omega identity, she would’ve kneed him in the balls already — twice for good measure. But oh well. "Is everyone ready?!" Alpha Warren’s voice boomed through the air. The crowd roared back in excitement. "Remember — NO SHAPESHIFTING," Warren barked again. "As soon as you enter the grounds, all powers will be stripped." A loud thud echoed from the sky. The dome activated with a shimmering light, enclosing the hunting grounds entirely. Jo swallowed thickly, feeling the shift immediately. Her powers — her shield — were being drained.

He was much more. My eyes held questions and he saw them. “I am Nathaniel Shaw.” His lips moved, pride in the way he said his name. That name. “Shaw Powers?” A simple nod from him confirmed my shocked-filled realization. Shaw Powers controlled the majority of the power industry and now, they had begun to extend their claws to several other business sectors and quickly becoming Shaw Industries. A formidable trillion-dollar company and the owner was sitting right before me. My initial shock quickly wore off, and a sharp sense of urgency arose.

I shrugged my shoulders. “I couldn’t do that before,” I said. “A person has to have a lot of power to walk through the barrier.” “I am the same as I was before.” “You are mistaken,” she talks back. “You have better control over your powers. In the time that you have been here, you have grown into your capabilities. You have improved.” She was right about that. The ability to shift on my own, my speed, my strength. I am a lot better than before. “Well, no one has said anything to me about leaving the barriers…”

Thankfully, I was fortunate. “Who told you that shape-shifting is as laidback as how you perceive it?” Phyllis asked. I took a step back and watched her stoop to pick two twigs; she used a twig to pull two horizontal lines as she spoke, “Shape shifting is really agonizing. Before you learn to transform, you should make sure you have sufficient power to bear the turmoil it brings to you later on.” She stands straight, “Unless I see that you are ready, I would not allow you to transform. So you have no choice but to use the sword to defend yourself, as I would not be there to do that all the time.”

I snort a laugh, throwing her a look over my shoulder, but she frowns at me. “You look exhausted, Maeve.” “It’s my powers. Keeping my shields up all day is one thing, but shapeshifting really drains me.” “Well, the second we get on the yacht, you should drop them. I already spoke to the captain, and he’s a discreet man. It’s a small crew, too. I’ve already paid everyone a handsome bonus for keeping their mouths shut. Don’t worry.” I throw her another weary glance. “I suppose…” “Your guards will be on another ship, anyway. I think one or two will be aboard at the most, and they can be dealt with.”

He looked at the skyline in the distance, the Thorne Tower rising like a needle of silver against the clouds. ​"It looks so small from here," he whispered. ​"That's because you're finally seeing it from the ground, Julian," I said, helping him toward the rusted van I’d hidden in the weeds. "Now, let's get you to a place where a billion dollars can't buy a single soul." ​The Power Shift was no longer a theory. It was a physical reality. Julian was in my world now, and the only thing he had left to bargain with was the heart I wasn't sure I wanted to keep.

I asked. He shook his head. “No.” “Then why was I covered in blood?” I whispered. “I have a theory, but it’s very rare that it happens.” “Tell me.” “Sometimes, when the mother is in distress, the baby can lend their power to her, helping to protect themselves. I think your child helped you,” he explained. “Is my child… a shapeshifter?” I wasn’t sure if I was guessing correctly. Shapeshifters were rare, associated with earth power but at a higher level. It was an incredible gift, and like Darius and me, it was uncommon.
