14- Shifted
Chassy
‘Sorry to keep you waiting,’ she said, and I didn’t know what to say. ‘Hey, are you mad at me for coming a little too late?’ she asked.
‘What? No! You’re perfectly on time.’ I replied. I didn’t want her to think that way. I am thankful that she came at this time when I am happy.
‘What took you so long to reply?’ she asked,
‘Because I can’t believe that I already have you.’
‘Hihihi… Me too. I wanted to see and talk to you a year ago, but there was something that stopped me. I’m happy that we could finally talk like this.’ She replied, ‘Anyway, C. My name is Thea.’
‘Thea…’ I repeated. ‘You have a beautiful name.’ I added.
‘I didn’t want to be called “T”,’ she said, and I chuckled.
‘And yet you’re calling me “C”.’ I replied,
‘Because it fits you.’
‘Thank you,’
‘You are most welcome.’ She replied, ‘Now, why don’t you go and take a bath for a start?’ With that, I rushed to the bathroom and cleaned up. I am excited, and I can’t wait to tell everyone about Thea.
When I went down, everyone looked so busy and were all greeting me. “Happy birthday, Luna!” they said.
“Thank you,” I always replied happily. I went to the kitchen because I felt hungry.
‘You will always feel this way since you already have me.’ Thea said,
‘No problem. Even if I get fat from eating a lot, I don’t care as long as you’re happy.’ I replied,
‘We’re not going to get fat. I don’t have anything against it, but I’m sure that we won’t be that way.’
‘That’s very reassuring.’ I replied,
‘You don’t believe me?’ she asked,
‘Of course, I believe you,’ I answered. I didn’t want her to get mad at me.
“Happy birthday, Luna. What do you want to have?” Annie, one of the omegas who was assigned to the kitchen, asked.
“Thank you, Annie. What do we have?” I replied and asked,
“We will prepare all your favorites for this day. Alpha said that you definitely wouldn’t want to have a party, so we will just give you the food that you want to have.” She replied happily.
“That’s sweet,” I said. “Then what are you waiting for? Can you give me something to eat now? I would want to get it myself, but I know that you will only stop me as always.” I added, and she nodded. I pulled up my chair and sat down as I waited for her to come back.
The breakfast was so good, and I felt so energized that I went out happily. I saw everyone looking at me, and I knew that they were happy for me as well. They didn’t know that I had already talked to Thea, my beast, but I had a feeling that they knew something.
After some thought, I decided to go back to the pack house and go straight to Daddy Jay’s office. “Come in,” he said after I knocked. I turned the knob, opened the door, and got in.
“Wow!” Daddy Jay exclaimed as soon as he saw me. “So it’s true.”
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with me?” I asked,
“No, it’s just that; you’re glowing,” he answered, which made me crease my forehead.
‘You’re glowing because of me. Because you already have me. Seriously, are you a woman? You didn’t even look in the mirror after you took a bath, so you didn’t see us.”
“Oh, and your eyes are glittery. Are you talking to your beast?” he asked, and I nodded. “So that’s how it was for you,” he added. “Anyway, why are you here?” he asked.
“Because I got curious about the way the pack members were looking at me,” I answered.
“Yes, dear. It was because of what I just said. They were all excited, and they thought that you would have your wolf-I mean, your beast.”
“And I am excited,” I replied.
‘Me too,’ Thea said,
“And my beast too,” I informed Daddy Jay, and he nodded.
I spent my whole day resting. When my dad arrived at lunch, he told Daddy Jay that I needed to replenish my energy, and everyone agreed, so I just stayed in my bedroom as the omegas were sending me my meals.
‘We are pampered here, C.’ Thea commented,
‘Yeah, and I have never been this happy and content in my life. Especially when you’re here.’ I replied.
‘Don’t be too happy; you know that we will be facing something big, right?’ she asked. So she knows about it too? ‘Yes, I know about it. I was ready for it, but I don’t know if you are either. It was a good thing that our daddies are very supportive of us, and they were both making you follow them.’ she added.
‘I have so much respect for Daddy Jay, so I will do everything he tells me,’ I replied.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
The night came, and I started to prepare for my shift. I took a bath because Thea wanted to, so I didn’t argue about that. I needed to go to the clearing for the shifting process. It was a small space where everyone did their shift or transformation. At night, the moon shines at the specific spot in the clearing where the shifters positioned themselves.
When I arrived, everyone was there already. They formed a circle, and I saw my spot. It was lit by the moonlight, which was still blurry. I stood there and looked around. My father, Daddy Jay, Beta Simon, and Sims, as well as Gamma Rick and Allie, There were a few omegas who wanted to see me, and I could see how happy they were for me.
The little area, which had seen innumerable transformations, took on an ethereal atmosphere in the moonlight’s brilliant embrace. I was standing in this holy place, on the verge of an event that would change my life forever. The relationship that bound me to this age-old rite of passage was palpable in the air, which was imbued with both reverence and eagerness.
Thea, my beast, was with me, and it made me feel relaxed knowing I was not alone. ‘You’re going to be fine because I am here as well as the people who care and love you,’ she said in my head.
‘I know that, and I am ready.’ I replied as I was enveloped by a circle of support. My biological father was expectantly and worriedly looking at me. Our alpha, my Daddy Jay, who stood by my side, radiating strength, His presence gave me a sense of belonging, since he represented unwavering protection and unconditional affection. Beta Simon emanated a sense of calm assurance as his eyes lit up with comradery. Sims, Allie, and Gamma Rick exuded a sense of comprehension. They had been along a similar path, and their experiences had left an indelible mark on them. They witnessed my frailty and made a covert pledge of solidarity among the pack by bearing witness to it.
Then there were the omegas-those who had gone through similar struggles to me about their wolf and had stood as the quiet support of my bravery. They served as a living example of resiliency and the strength that emerged from suffering together.
I started to experience a power surge as the moon rose to its highest point, mixing with the chill of apprehension that ran down my spine. As my bones started to move and my skin started to tingle, the change started-a symphony of pain and elation.
My mind was filled with the soothing and authoritative tones of Thea. Her advice served as my anchor, and her words helped me make decisions about how to proceed through the sensory maelstrom that engulfed me. It was a dance of suffering and victory, a physical representation of my development.
The sharp and constant pain was an obvious presence. It pried my senses and tested the limits of what I believed I could withstand. But in the midst of this suffering, a revelation emerged: suffering served as a force through which I was transformed.
The limits of my humanity were expanding with each passing second. Thea’s words blended with the wind’s whisper as she guided me through the maze of my shift. The anguish suddenly started to subside, like a storm that had stopped.
A sudden power and an understanding of my muscles and instincts that I had never known took their place. My vision improved, my senses improved, and a primal connection to the environment around me grew as the moonlight drenched me.
My transformation culminated with one last push. As I took my first steps as a Lycan, Thea’s presence lingered. The faces of my packmates, which were a portrait of pride and joy, welcomed me. Unshed tears sparkled in my father’s and Daddy Jay’s eyes, a silent sign of their unwavering faith in me.
A feeling of victory swept over me as I took on my new shape and stood. The suffering I had experienced was evidence of my fortitude and a representation of my might as a Lycan. With the help of those who had gone before me, I was able to embrace my metamorphosis, and I felt like I was reborn in the moonlight, beginning a new chapter in my life’s journey.
“Congratulations, Luna,” they all said as they looked at me with awe. I am the happiest, and even if this transformation of mine starts a war between us and the vampires, I know that we will be able to win because I have these people with me. I am going to do everything in my power to protect them, even with my life. Because I am Chastity Greer, a Lycan.
