‘Alphas!’ Lucy’s panicked voice shouted out to both Astennu and me. ‘Evie’s shifting but I can’t move her.’

A huge smile took over my face. We would finally meet her wolf. I would have a face to the dominant spitfire I had heard so much about. The wolf, who on our first meeting, had snarled viscously at me and gave precisely zero f***s that I was an Alpha.

“We need to go,” Astennu was already heading to the door and almost taking the handle off.

I knew he was sensing the same as me. Evie was in pain and scared. A first shift was always the worst and the longest to endure.

“We weren’t finished!” Our dad called out behind us.

“Evie’s shifting!” I turned and snapped, not about to stay and argue.

“I think that’s their way of saying ‘meeting over’,” I heard Tamlyn chuckle behind us.

She hurried to catch up and grabbed onto my arm to help guide her through the rush.

The first shift for werewolves was never completely identical to another’s. They could strike at any age from late teens to young adult and at any time of year, but tended to be around or near a full moon and when it was closest to the earth; similarly to how it affected the high tide at sea.

Many young wolves experienced early symptoms of their first shift, such as itchy skin, random bursts of heart palpitations as adrenaline levels began to rise and strange pressure sensations in the head. The latter was from the individual’s wolf waking from its hibernation, although Evie had already gone through that step. The symptoms could strike from a week to a few hours before the shift started.

When Astennu and I were approaching our time, Tamlyn had shared her experience to help prepare us. With her being three years older, she had shifted before us and had known for roughly a week that it was coming.

Some wolves, like my brother and myself, shifted without any prior warnings. We had no symptoms when it dropped on us in the middle of the night out of nowhere. The only indication was that Astennu and I had felt a deep need to be close by each other constantly, even at night, and had slept in each other’s bed.

Astennu was first, followed by me, though his shift took longer to complete. Our mom and dad had managed to get us outside just in time. Afterwards, our dad shifted and ran with us, letting us use his body for support when we stumbled. Mom had stayed behind, saying she ‘wanted her boys to bond’… now I knew it was because she didn’t want us to see her silver scars.

None of us could be prepared for how Evie’s shift would go. For one, she was older than most wolves usually were for this. And two, I had never heard of someone shifting nearly a month after their wolf appeared in their mind. A wolf’s voice usually appeared a few seconds before shifting or just after. The only exceptions were the poor few Omegas that received no physical wolf form.

Nearing Evie’s hallway, a blood-curdling scream rang out, one mixed with the sound of a painful howl. Following the heightened and sharp pulsations of our bond, it led us, unsurprisingly, to Lucy’s door. My brother near enough put her door through with his barrage of bangs for her to open up.
