It’s what I am. What I need you to do is to just go through your day and trust that I’ll be back in Crimson Peak by Monday.”

Instead, it would be exhilarating for her body. That’s what it needs, her and her wolf need to shift, it’s a part of her nature now.

I immediately decided to do better at my next training. I walked into my bedroom. This was the first time in weeks that the room wasn't as suffocating as it always was. I freshened up and sat on my bed, staring into blank space. I needed to shift, no matter how weak I am. Shifting made me strong. I clenched my fist in determination.

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.

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.

"It may be a bit painful to shift back for the first time, but with time, the discomfort will fade."

Look at Jenson, he is dying because he lost his Wolf. At the time, her words made me question a lot of things. But more importantly, was she right? Was I responsible for my own struggles? ‘You need to practise shifting.’ She had declared when I said I was willing to listen. ‘I can’t… I will become..’ ‘No you won't, Neah, you have to trust me. You have to trust yourself.’ Now almost three weeks later, I’m lying on the bedroom floor with Dane and Damien staring at me. The secret was officially out and I inwardly groan. I wanted to keep it quiet until I was a hundred percent sure I could shift without asking Nyx to do it for me.

But it seems her parents never taught her about shifting. “It’s your first shift,” I said softly through the mindlink. “It’s normal. Your body isn’t used to it yet.” “My bones still hurt,” she whimpered. “Lance… I don’t know how to make it stop.” First shifts were always like this, but it was less painful because we were always taught on how shifting works, but it seems was never taught which made hers seem painful. “It will pass,” I told her gently. “But you need to breathe… focus… picture yourself turning back to your human form.”

Once you shift, once you see yourself as the wolf you truly are, the mental block will shatter. I guarantee it.” I’d been trying to shift for three months.

“Shift.” “What? No,” she pouts, “Did you forget I’m pregnant?” Every five minutes, she reminds the world she’s pregnant, so how could I forget? “Shifting is not advisable in the early stages of pregnancy, so do it,” I tell her, leaning against the tree. “That's the first step of getting you with my brother.” “I’m scared.” “We discussed this, Sera,” I sigh. “You have to get rid of that thing if you want any shot at starting over. You can’t go on a date smelling like another man’s pup.”
