Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 8 

We walked into the forrest in a comfortable silence, although I was pretty nervous. We found a small clearing next to the bend in the river. It was quiet and a perfect spot for shifting. I stood in front of my mate as he began talking about a firs lycan shift. 

“A lycan shift is different than a wolf shift. Your bones elongate but it’s not a back breaking experience. It’s still painful but not as painful as a wolf shift. You can still run like a wolf or you can walk like a human. Just whatever your preference is, I am sure you will figure it out. I like to switch it up.” He smiled at me. 

“Okay.” I walked a few feet away from him and looked around. I gazed up at the sky and looked at the moon. It was shining bright and the stars were twinkling above us. When he started speaking again! looked back over to him. 

“So when you shift you’ll want to focus on your Lycan. Allow her to take over the shift. Don’t let your human side fight your Lycan side. When the sides fight for control, that’s when a shift can be extra painful and take longer than needed. Soon when you’re used to it, it will become instant, almost like second nature. I am sure your Lycan is ready to come out and play, yeah?” He smiled. 

“It was her idea to ask for your help. What do I do about my clothes?” 

“You can shred these and I’ll have Ted or Jameson get you a blanket or other clothes.” He shrugged as his eyes went dark. “Or you can strip now and save the clothes.” He smirked, teasing me playfully. My lycan purred in my head. 

My cheeks heated and he chuckled. “Ready?”. 

Inodded and I watched him begin circling around me and tell me to focus on my Lycan. Give her control. I closed my eyes and did as he said. 

I felt my bones stretch and heard a few popping sounds. I felt my face turn into a snout. I opened my eyes and looked at my hands. They sprouted fur, a beautiful deep red color. My paws were all white tipped. It wasn’t that painful honestly and it was super quick. I thought these were supposed to take a while? I knew the wolves could take hours on their first shift. I turned and looked at me mate who was already shifted. In front of me was a very large midnight black fur Lycan. He walked up to me and I realized he wasn’t much bigger than I was. Why am I so big? Aren’t females smaller or maybe that’s just female wolves. 

He nuzzled me and motioned to follow and we took off running throughout the forest. I nipped at his heals and he suddenly stopped and turned back to me. I skid to a stop and Charlotte tipped her head back and howled. She dashed away from him, moving to run on all fours. We were much faster now as we darted through and around trees. Charlotte realized this “All fours for danger and war and human stance for everything else when running.” 

“Oh, that makes sense. Look how beautiful his Lycan is with that midnight color fur.” I smiled as I watched behind her eyes as she stopped running to take a look at her mate as well. He was so majestic, his fur almost glistened under the moonlight. 

He stopped in front of us and nuzzled against Charlotte. She nipped him playfully as they played together. They were bonding with one another and I could feel how happy she felt. We finally made our way back towards the pack and stopped outside of tree line. I heard him shifting to his human form and reappear in shorts.
