Shifting Novels & Stories

“Allow me to put you in your place!” Alpha Nox chuckles. “Foolish girl!” He growls slowly shifting into his wolf with ease. Shifting gets to a level where you don’t hear bones snap as you shift. At that point you would have become so in tune with your wolf that shifting will be as easy and fluid as regular joint movement. Alpha Nox is almost at that level from what I can tell. The number of snaps I heard were less than fifteen. The odds are stacking higher against Eldora who hasn’t shifted yet.

“It’s time. I can't hold it back anymore, it's been too long. If I don't do it now, we may both lose it forever. Just hold on please, I'm trying to make this happen as quickly as I can.” “Please, try harder. It feels like my body is splitting in two and I don't think I can take it anymore.” Okay, now I wanted the water again but I didn't tell Adrian. “You need to be strong, Kaya. We are going to do a great good to our kind so it's not going to be easy at first. Just hold on please." I'd heard that shifting was painful and terrible but I didn't expect it to be this bad. This should be a punishment, a fatal one.

I asked "I have been shifting for years, and it's only the first shift that takes some time" he replied making me nod my head in understanding "You didn't look like you were in pain" I said and he chuckled a little "It is because you don't feel pain when you shift after the first few times" he replied with a smile "Don't worry, you will feel a little soreness when you shift the next time, you won't feel so much pain" he assured and I sighed in relief

Logan barely had time to process Jared’s outburst before Kai moved away from him. The moment Jared stepped forward, Kai let out a low, warning growl—one that sent a shiver down Logan’s spine. Jared froze, startled by the sound. “What the—who the hell is this? You fucking animal posers now? Where'd you pick him up from, an animal shelter?” He jabbed a finger toward Kai, eyes narrowing. Kai didn’t answer. His entire posture shifted, muscles tensing, his eyes turned sharp and predatory.

I grab a handful of grass and dirt instead. "ahhhhhh," Shannon screams before she twists on the ground. I grind my teeth as my chest feels like it's being ripped apart. "AHHHHH," Shannon screams again, and I squeeze my eyes shut. "Fuck," I grunt, and my spine twists. I have always known shifting for the first time would be painful, but I never imagined this. "Ahh, oh fuck," I yell before grinding my teeth together. The pain within my body suddenly triples and every bone in my body feels as if it's breaking. I scream out just as Shannon does. But just when I think I might die, the pain stops. Everything stops. The pain and the heat disappears.

He knows what pain I have to go through again. I whimpered. The first time hurts and the next will too. I haven't gotten used to it since I only change once. Ryder was already used to it. My friends said that the more you shift the lesser the pain you will feel. I played on the grass. I was getting ready to shift but I was shaking. I didn't want to feel my bones breaking. How my body burned from my inside and out. How my teeth sank back into my gums. My claws crawling back as my body shifts.

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 differe

Chapter two Keisha’s pov Going to my window and jumping down carefully I go behind a tree, take off my clothes focusing my mind on shifting. I have to take off my clothes cause only the Alpha’s Lina’s and Beta’s can shift with their clothes on without tearing them and shift back with their clothes on. As I focus my mind on shifting I hear the familiar feeling of my bones cracking and reforming and I’m on all fours as I let Due take control as she dashes through the woods feeling the cool breeze on her fur and the earthly smell of the woods.

As time passed, the pain became unbearable and all I could hear from Athena was, ” Sorry, Raven? You can do this. We will get through it . You are stronger than you think. Just concentrate and give me control. Don’t block me out, okay?” I nodded, breathing harshly. I want the pain to go away and the only way to get rid of it was if I shift . ” Raven relax … let me in Raven. The shift will take a few minutes. “

No hidden tricks jump out. “I don’t think it is,” I say. “But he expects people to rush.” “Research your chosen consequence carefully,” Professor Ashford continues. “Base your findings on fact. You have ten minutes to discuss with your partners. After that, we move on. Next semester’s focus will be the dangers of partial shifting.” Partial shifting. That draws a few uneasy looks.
