The Shift Tinx Novels & Stories

I make my way to the drum pad machine, staring right at my toes as I feel so many eyes on me. “Normal people fall asleep every night, thinking of tomorrow” Sharmayne starts, her voice lovely as ever. “But I...I cry myself to sleep every night, thinking of yesterday” I click on Acoustic kick on the machine twice right after that as I begin my work, feeling more confident. Then an electronic kick and clap follow simultaneously as she moves on to the livelier part. “Normal people fall asleep every night” I sing softly in the background while she continues “But I..”

Then, with all her might as an Alpha, she began her shifting— And pulled Alexander along with her. Bones cracked and flexed. Her muscles tore and reshaped, her body reshaping itself as a thousand times before. It was as easy as effortless as breathing for her. But Alexander—his body fought. He gasped, his tiny body trembling as the shift tried to take hold. Sharon could feel his hesitation through their bond, the natural fear of something unnatural prevailing. It’s okay, she told him silently, pouring reassurance into the connection. I’ve got you.

“There were only a few instances where a shifter died while shifting…” “What if I’m one of those few?” Tyler shifted from his position and crouched in front of the young female, who kept sobbing while she talked. “Hey, look at me.” Tyler cupped her tiny face as he smiled at her, his fingers wiping the tears from her cheeks, but they kept coming. “I will be there when you shift. I will make sure of that… And I will hold your hand and hug you, and I will tell you how brave you are and that I will not let you die.”

I shoved her away while I refocused on Jax. “I can help you shift for the first time if you need it, but I would never force the shift on you without your explicit permission beforehand. I also will not lie and say it will be painless, but I am hoping my presence will help dull some of the pain at least.” I was touched by Jax’s consideration. I loved how honest he was about everything. It meant a lot after everything with Zeke. I was also thrilled that he seemed so confident that I would be able to shift. The pain would not be pleasant, but I could weather anything with Jax by my side.

I had to put a stop to it, somehow. Climbing up on to the throne, I stand up tall and ask them to stop. “They are not going to hear you like that!” Reaper groans. “Then what do you suggest?” “Shift” “What?” “I mean it, shift. The hunter will be drawn out, everyone will submit and the one that doesn’t will be the one Tasha has gone after. Now get off the throne. I don’t want to break something so nice.”

Tyee I let Dakota take over the shift, and he immediately stretched his stretched his paws. “It’s about time you let me shift.” Dakota smirked. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. “Alright old man, let’s get going, eh?” Dakota snickered as he got down on his belly for Jennie to climb on. Jennie carefully ran her fingers down our back. “I almost forgot how big you are” She whispered. Dakota nodded his head at Jennie for her to climb on. I felt her fingers grab on to Dakota’s fur, and as soon as she leaned forward, Dakota took off.

There was no amount of concealer to hide the shadows around those eyes and I had my hair pulled back in a bun so tight it was hurting me. I was twenty-six. I was supposed to be completing a degree, or traveling, or at least having a drink with friends that didn’t only talk about their tips at the diner. My mates did party but not me. Instead, I was calculating the cost of feeding and bills to pay. "Next stop, Damen," the overhead voice crackled. I stood up, my knees cracking. Every joint in my body felt like it would fail. I’d just finished a ten hour shift, and the sun was barely out. Most people were just waking up while I was just trying to make it to the front of my door.

After the war between humans and shifters, an alliance was formed to keep the peace. The price? Daughters of the human nobility had to choose a shifter as their mate. The first half-blood born from this union would become the new ruler, ensuring that peace would last. As the eldest daughter of the Morrison family, I was the first to be chosen. But right after I chose the wolf Alpha, Calvin, I saw a vision on our engagement day. Because I failed to conceive after six months, Calvin locked me in a cage, determined to use me as a vessel for his pure bloodline. After I finally gave birth to the prophesied hybrid, my sister, Trina, appeared, claiming she wanted to take care of me. But the truth

In the end, they moved into Bianca's parents' rented two-bedroom. Seven people squeezed inside with barely room for luggage. Bianca and Lila started fighting almost immediately. Lila called Bianca useless; Bianca called Lila a freeloader. When Helen's migraines flared, Bianca's mother told her to wait at a public clinic. Without my doctors, Gregory's blood pressure sent him to the emergency room. Without my tuition payments, Lila was removed from private school. Ethan's company fired him too. Customs work runs on trust. No one wanted client accounts handled by a man whose wedding funding had been pulled at the altar while he owed his ex-fiancee a mountain of debt.

AaHHHHHH," she screamed from the top of her lungs and shoved Azriel away. Azriel was shocked by her reaction. Sienna buried her face in the ground and let out another scream. Her scream was followed by familiar sound of bone cracking. His eyes turned wide as realisation dawned upon him. He stepped back to give her space. Sienna was shifting. "You are shifting, Moonshine," he shouted, hoping hiswords had reache her through mayhem of pain that had clouded her senses. The earlier one shifts the lesser it pains. Azriel's shift was smooth as he had shifted quite early. Surely, it had hurt but not like hell. Sienna was shifting quite late and so it was hurting her atrociously.
