The Shift Tinx Novels & Stories

Working out six hours a day, every day, and working on an eight-hour shift every night, took it's toll on him very quickly. Ever since a colleague of his suggested enhancers to boost his energy, he was able to add more hours at the gym and more hours on his shifts, and could still hang out at bars afterward. Everyone else was using it, it was common for his line of work. They call it 'the helper', which leads to other kinds of helpers, for every different need. Even actors use them too.

I said already tired of talking. "Hmm... This one is hard Nicole. Have you ever shifted?" "Shifted? No!" I knew what shifting was and I knew I have never ever shifted. "What does shifting have to do with this." "The trick to this Nicole is shifting. You have to go to a forest, shift, and run round the forest to let out the steam. That's just all. It isn't so hard, but hard for those that haven't ever shifted. It would also be satisfying if you injure the said girl he was cheating on you with. That's a trick, Nicole." Phils explained and I knew what he was saying was way way not for me. I haven't shifted and don't think I would ever shift.

“Here we go again.” Nalia tilted her head, watching with curiosity. “They’re going to shift?” “Yup,” Jax said, standing with a satisfied stretch. “And when those two shift, it’s not just a run. It’s an event.” Gunner leaned against the doorframe. “I got twenty on Koa. She’s got that ‘I’ll win or maul something’ energy today.” Tyler chuckled. “I’m going with Maggie. Tora’s got that post-mating glow. She might actually fly today instead of stomp.”

“My friend, sometimes you have to put all your cards on the table.” I stood and moved into the kitchen to get away from the noise of everyone celebrating. “You’re a shifter? How the fuck did you keep that from us?” I asked, trying to keep the irritation out of my voice. “Well, there are suppressants that delay the shift. I believe your lady love is somewhat familiar with those. But there are also others that simply conceal it. Even humans can sense when they’re near a shifter, there’s something about us that gives it away. I decided a long time ago that my private life would stay private. It cost me quite a bit, but I developed a synthetic pheromone that I mix into my deodorant and cologne.

And smart, she could concede. Jane offered Onyx his hand. “As Tasha's being rude, I’ll introduce myself. I’m Jane.” Finally moving his gaze from Tasha, Onyx shook what he knew was her boss’s hand—as he’d told Tasha, he’d ensured he knew what there was to know about her life. “Onyx.” When the her brow furrowed in confusion, Onyx realized that Tasha had never spoken of him. And didn’t that hurt like a bitch. His wolf growled at that, wanting his role in her life to be noted. Tasha was none too pleased about it either and thought about making it known right then. But he wanted Tasha to be the one to say who he was to her, wanted to hear her say it with pride rather than reluctantly through grit

Thalia POV I run over and hugged both Kaia and Sinclair. “Oh, my goddess, I can’t believe you both actually did it! How long before you shift?” Sinclair speaks first, “Any minute.” Then Kaia speaks up, “I hope it’s not as painful as what we just went through.” Aiden chuckles, “First shift hurts the most and after that, it doesn’t hurt hardly at all. I would suggest stripping down though. Your clothes are going to shred otherwise.”

Not completely anyway. "I don't think you're going anywhere," she starts. "You may not be the image of the shifter in their heads, but you are still a shifter nonetheless." She was right. There have been generations of people waiting to meet a shifter. No way would they turn against me before I've even given them a reason to. I find myself seeking comfort in Teyana. I lean over and lay my head upon her shoulder. I could feel her happiness spill over to me. Her hand somehow finds mine, she interlocks our fingers, and squeezes tight. "It will be okay Sincere." There's a knock at the door that catches our attention.

"We must change our plan now." "Do you have anything in mind?" "Yes, I know what to do. All you have to do is send the video to Shina on Friday." "Okay." Tina ended the call, a smirk on her lips. She walked to the wall and repeatedly banged her head until it bled. Quickly, she retrieved a wet towel from the bathroom and cleaned the walls. Leaving her room, she still had a smirk on her lips. Tina was quite determined to make Maxwell hers. She was not going to let Mellisa win, no matter what. In her mind, Maxwell belonged to her and that was the end of the story.

"Sharon Bell, stop being so selfish. It's the New Year. Do you want something to go wrong for us? You can go once things settle down." I blinked back tears and nodded slowly. I leaned against the door, listening as their voices grew fainter. "Sharon has the flu. Would it be okay for her to stay here alone?" When I heard Dad's voice, my chest tightened, and tears welled up. "Oh, Dad, Sharon's a jinx! If she comes with us, what if the move doesn't go smoothly? It's the start of the year! Anything bad happening would be so unlucky!" My sister, Siena Bell's, words hit me like a sharp needle.

"So they saw me shift." "They already knew who you were," he said. "Now they know what you're becoming." Tyra crossed her arms. "That wasn't a normal shift, Kaia." I blinked at her. "What do you mean?" "You shifted fast. Too fast. Without the usual struggle. And you didn't lose control." "I thought that was good?" She exchanged a look with Kieran. "It's not normal," he said gently. "Even the strongest of us take years to reach that kind of control. You've shifted twice, and already your body obeys without resistance."
