The Alpha Princess & The Werewolf King
The shift part 1

POV: Gianna

The night is dwindling down, and I am feeling really anxious. I can tell my wolf is starting to surface. I quickly eat and make sure that I go pump before I start shifting. Who knows how long it will take.

“Sweetheart we are going to start arranging the area for you to shift” mom says.

“Okay, I just want to make sure Onyx has enough milk for the next few hours.”

“No problem, your dad, Sierra, Storm, Aaron, the King and I will be waiting for you in the field.” She says.

“The King? Why is he going to be at the shifting ceremony?”

“The King is at all of the shifting ceremonies for the Alpha’s.” She smiles.

“Oh Okay.”

The party is flowing very well, everyone is having a good time, but to be honest I am just not feeling it. I am getting anxious and snippy; every little thing is driving me crazy.

“I am going to go up and pump and hang out with Onyx for a little while. I feel irritated I know he will calm me down.”

“Okay, do you want me to have someone outside just in case you start to get more agitated?” Storm asks.

“No, I’ll be alright, I will be there for maybe thirty minutes. I can tell I am getting closer to shifting. The nanny will be there also, so it will be fine.”

She nods and I head inside. I just want to get this dress off me. I feel like I am being suffocated. I am extremely hot and just want to be naked at this point.

Upon reaching Onyx’s room I am hit with that tantalizing scent again, crisp winter. It smells so divine. I know my mate is near. I’m not sure if I am excited or scared that he is here. I excuse the nanny so I can give Onyx a bath and shower myself. I am so sticky, but I am having difficulty getting the lacing undone to the bodice.

“Ugh just my luck Onyx, I let everyone leave and I need some help. I wish you could help mommy out.”

“I can help you if you’d like” he says.

Startled, I turn around quickly and see the King standing in the doorway.

“What are you doing here?” I ask gently.

“I came to grab something out of my room and heard you talking to Onyx. Mind if I help you?” He asks.

My cheeks turn beet red; I am sure I look like a tomato.

“Sure, I would very much appreciate it. I didn’t think of how I would get out of the gown after I sent everyone away.”

I can feel myself drastically calm down. I turn around and his fingers brush against my back, making their way to the laces. The feeling feels so good, I don’t want him to stop touching me. Unfortunately, I must think of my mate. I can’t enjoy the touch of another when my mate is here.

“All done Alpha” Rasheed huskily says.

I take a shower and as I am reaching out for a towel a pain shoots up my spine. I let out an ear-piercing scream. Rasheed is at my side in an instant. I curl into him feeling slightly better, but the pain is now all over my body. I can’t even stand up; I am unconcerned about being naked at this point.

Onyx’s nanny comes rushing in and Rasheed says something to her I am unable to hear due to all the pain.

“Let’s get you into a shirt and get you into the field. I have mind linked your father and he is waiting with your family and friends.” He coos in my ear.

His hot breath against my ear lessens the pain just a bit and I am thankful. I don’t know if the King has some type of special powers to calm any werewolf, but I don’t care because this pain is terrible.

He grabs my clothes I plan on wearing after the shift and puts them into a bag. Then he rushes me to my bedroom, well I should say his room for now, and places me on the bed. Utterly confused but in too much pain to dwell on it. He is at my side within an instant. He places a shirt over my head, and I realize it is his shirt.

He rushes down the steps taking two at a time and makes it to the field in no time. He places me on the ground and begins to pull away. The pain becomes overbearing, and I reach out to him to take the pain away. He complies and lays right next to me rubbing circles on my back.

Another agonizing pain rips through me and I know I am about to start shifting.

“Just try to relax, we will get through this. We are strong and gifted.”

Shocked to hear my wolf in my head, I smile up at Rasheed, tears filling my eyes and pain after pain rips through me.

“It’s time…. just breathe Gianna.” My wolf says.

I can feel my bones cracking. My senses are becoming clearer, my spine is lengthening, my mouth is elongating. Just then I am on all four legs and the pain is gone.

I hear gasps and I look around to my surroundings and I am hit with my mate’s scent. Trying desperately to find him. My head shifts to King Rasheed. I shift back into my human form. I am in a daze, the world as I know it

has stopped and all I see is him. His handsome face and his yummy body. His scent is calling me, pulling me to him. My feet are moving at their own accord.

I am pulled into his embrace, and I look into those deep brown eyes. His eyes never leaving me.

“MATE!” we say in unison.
