Shift Ideas Novels & Stories

Bruce asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. I clear my throat. “I’m fully aware of what humans think of the shifter community. I hope one day we can change that. It’s true we have some bad apples just like any other groups, but we also have incredible people working tirelessly to keep innocents safe. To keep families happy and prospering.

When I switched over, I noticed we were always ahead giving me an advantage. Jake’s face smiling over at me ran though my head again. I smiled to myself trying to hide it as not to bring attention to myself. I kept copying the notes down and the teachers back was to me, so no additional attention was headed my direction. I thought of Trixie again. I hoped that after her party that Trevor will tell her what will happen to her before she shifts so that she understands. I can’t imagine shifting not even knowing what was happening to my body. They say the first shift is the worst and can be the longest but after that shifting becomes second nature. Having your mate close will help ease the pain

And everything reversed The merge Shifted direction

The caption read: “Influence always wears a face eventually.” My stomach tightened. Not because of the image. Because of what it implied. ⸻ “They’re shifting focus,” I said quietly. “Yes,” Adrian replied. “From structure.” “To person.” A pause. “And now it’s you,” he said. I nodded slowly. “Yes.” Because that was the evolution I hadn’t wanted to see clearly. First— Corporate. Then— Relational. Now— Individual. ⸻ By midday, more posts followed.

Oh, well. “Are there any close neighbors?” I ask. “Yeah. But ‘close’ is different for us. Because we can . . .” “Transform into wolves?” “No. Well, yeah, but . . .” His cheeks have an olive tinge. God, I think he’s blushing. Because of course they’d flush green. “Shift. We call it shifting. We don’t become something else. We just kind of toggle between two settings.” This time I do smile, keeping my lips sealed. “Love the coding references.”

"More embarrassing than my parents being moved to economy?" "They were seats." I tossed the airline change records onto the desk. "You moved my parents out of the seats I bought so Bianca's parents could feel important. Do not call that nothing." Ethan's jaw tightened. "I just wanted to take care of Bianca's parents. After she came back, I couldn't let her lose face." "So you let me lose mine." "You're strong. People can't hurt you." I laughed. Everyone who lived off me loved calling me strong.

“I didn't use ALL the methods of courting, there are three main aspects to Shifter courting. First I show that I can provide for you with gifts of food and clothing. Second I show I can protect you, I got the rules about shoes changed at your workplace and literally fought the Vampires to protect you so that counts. That just leaves proving that I will do the same for our children.” He concludes. I choke on my water. Bellamy is out of his seat in a second. He moves onto the bench next to me, patting and stroking my back as I regain the ability to breathe. He looks like he is trying not to laugh.

With my face mask I am on my way to the boss's office, he is also about to leave and when he saw me, he smile plainly and gave the floor map of hospital. "Santos, I am really sorry for the sudden change of shift, but you already know that the night shift has a lot of offer, and you can earn a lot." He joked and I just laughed, as if I can say no to the management, I don't have a degree, I am just a highschool graduate, that is why I know the reason of them, taking advantage of me. "Please do prioritize Dr. Remon's room, he have a duty tonight and he want his room clean, alright?" I nod while walking away, preparing myself for the night shift.

"You've not even marked her yet and you're turning me down? What if things don't turn out? Do you really want to stay in the same town? Shifter circles are small ones." Ethan shook his head. Maurice knew as well as they did, once the mating fever hit, it was only a matter of time. "Yeah, well, Javier says it won't be long. We've got a plan." "I see." Maurice got quiet and Ethan feared he'd hung up-or died of a stroke finally cluing in that his star players were never coming back. "Well, I guess the only thing to do is wish you guys good luck. I look forward to us kicking your ass in our next match. And remember, if you guys change your mind and want to relocate, I'll meet all your terms."

Shifters will have to adapt to the change or go extinct. "With technology advancing...the chances of us remaining secret are stacking against us anyway, Dan...But you think this new ideology has weakened their bond. They have chosen who they want to mate with, so their bonds to Boyd and Mike aren't as strong," I ask in a low voice, and he nods before tossing his shovel onto the full barrel.
