Chapter 0396

Nina

I felt myself begin to shift just as the rogue caught up with me.

The feeling was overwhelming. It felt as though the world was spinning around me, and I was just holding onto the earth for dear life. I dug my fingers down into the frozen soil and groaned as it felt as though my bones were growing and changing inside of me, and felt a bit of vomit bubble up and pour out of my throat and onto the ground.

When I looked up, I saw the rogue leader's glowing yellow eyes staring at me from the shadows. A large paw stepped out into the moonlight, followed by a body and a snarling, grimacing face.

*Cora, if you're going to shift, it needs to be right now," I thought to my wolf, pleading with her to hurry up with the process. Even if I couldn't fight well yet in my wolf form, I could at least run once it was over. I just hoped that I would be able to outrun the rogue leader.

I groaned again, partially from pain and partially from terror. I tried to push myself up onto my hands and knees, but as I began to crawl away I felt my limbs shaking beneath me. I fell to the ground and began to drag myself into the underbrush on my belly, as though doing so would even help me to stand a chance at getting away from the rogue leader.

I moaned, gritting my teeth against the pain of my bones and my skull vibrating under my flesh. Every fiber of my body was screaming out at this sudden change in my biology. Was it always this painful? When I had seen Enzo and the others shift before, it seemed so quick and easy. Nothing could have prepared me for this amount of pain; surely it was just like

And what perfect timing, too. If I didn't have a mission to complete, I would like to wait to see your pain as you shift for the first time. You know, some don't even live through the first shifting process.
