Chapter 45

“W–what?” I could hear Raven stammer behind, but my mind was otherwise preoccupied.

I’ve heard about shifting. We were taught about it. How it is painful because your bones are basically shifting, re- aligning themselves to those of a wolf.

There’s always been an excitement towards someone’s first shift… but along with that, there is always fear. Fear of the oncoming pain.

I won’t lie and say that I am not nervous. I am, but at the same time, I am at peace. I mean the pains of shifting can’t be as bad as the ones from yesterday, right?

“I can’t” I reply while crossing the threshold of the main back door. “I want to get this over and done with, and Nyx

wants to run and hunt.”

It’s normal for wolves to hunt. It’s in our nature. Whether it’s big or small animals, it gives them a kind of thrill. There isn’t much difference between us and normal wolves, and unlike popular beliefs about werewolves, we don’t eat raw meat. It’s disgusting, and it’s demeaning that humans think we are into that kind of thing.

“Fuck, Sadie, can you please explain to us what’s happening?” King demands, grabbing my hand and stopping my

movement.

I feel irritated when his skin touches mine, so I pull my hand from his. The fire inside me was rising as the seconds passes by. It was like a need that was burning inside. It felt like something was crawling from the depths of my soul, seeking a way out.

“Look, I don’t know any more than you do” I begin while watching some of my warriors train. “Nyx hasn’t really been forthcoming with information about who I am and what the hell is happening.”
