Your wolf will know what to do once you drop the barrier and let them.” “Maeve!” Arla shouted excitedly in her mind. “This is it, you get to shift and feel the grass under your paws!”

So far I’ve been very successful in avoiding temptation by not looking at his body in these vulnerable moments, and I’m not about to change that now – on the day when it’s more important than ever that we practice self control. “Does it hurt, shifting?” I ask, staring at my fidgeting fingers. “It does the first time.” Sinclair shares, “The first time is almost unbearable, it takes hours and hours, but once you’ve gotten it over with it happens fast as lightning, too quickly for you to feel the pain of your bones breaking and rearranging.” “That sounds ghastly.” I feel suddenly lightheaded, “How old are you when you shift the first time?” “It’s a little different for everyone - most make the

Most of the things we werewolves learn are through involuntary reflexes and mistakes that we make." "I'll teach her." Gwen and Dr Benny looked at me. "Excuse me." Dr Benny said, her forehead wrinkled.

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.

“Hold it out flat. Now envision exactly what you want to happen.” I bit my lip. I thought as hard as I could, but still nothing happened. I let out a breath I hadn’t realised I’d been holding in a great huff. “It’s not working,” I whispered. “I can’t do it. I can’t shift.” “No, of course you can! Don’t say that. You’ve just forgotten how, that’s all.” “But what if I haven’t forgotten?” I blinked up at him helplessly. “What if I could never shift in the first place?”

“You might be shifting. You need to regulate your breathing. Come down from the bed, I’ll help you.” She looked at him doubtfully as she followed him off the bed. Alex grimaced when he received a message from his mother. He decided to let them know what he thought. “Close your eyes and imagine yourself as a wolf. The first shift is usually agonizingly slow.” The pain’s still there but Luna tried to heed his advice. When she began to breath normally, he felt calmer. “Focus on your legs first. Imagine them changing into a wolf’s leg. Then, your hands.”

I stayed with that pace, letting my body repeat the movement until it stopped resisting. The forest floor streamed beneath me as I lifted my head. I stopped watching my feet and began reading the space ahead. Trunks no longer stood as barriers but as fixed points around which my path curved. I lengthened my stride a fraction at a time, shifting the work upward into my hips, letting power travel through my center before releasing into the ground.

Taking a moment to look over my shoulder for Slone I race towards it. Thankfully, she hasn't followed me yet. I am alone. I feel a moment of sadness as I discard the vintage dress lent to me by Axel's father. It had belonged to his mother, and already it had been destroyed, ripped and shredded from falling out of the van

I tipped my chin up to meet the piercing gaze of Valentin. “This method of shifting is particularly successful in young wolves,” he said softly. “It forces your body to get used to the shift quicker and it forces the body to accept it quicker.
