My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 29

　　As the Wolf King, he ruled the entire region from the peak of Zenith Hill. But that doesn’t mean he lived there. The place was merely his throne and ground of authority. As he stood on the hill and gazed upon the grove of trees beneath him, he smiled.

　　“I control everything here, yet I can’t manage to control this part of my life… How ironic, ``he said to himself.

　　He climbed down the hill, and within moments he was at its foot. Placing his hands in his pockets, he walked down a random path to clear his head.

　　After walking for some time, he wasn’t sure how long, Asher still felt troubled and restless within himself. He thought walking would calm him down, but it didn’t. He felt uncomfortable in his human skin and wanted to go wild.

　　Realising that he needed to unwind, he halted for a moment and released his hands from the confines of his pocket. He glanced around him and used his ear to pick up sounds within the woods. No one was nearby.

　　Usually, his kind could only fully transform in the night, only capable of partial turning during daytime. However, there were exceptions, he being one of them.

　　After making sure there were no witnesses to his transformation and that he wasn’t being watched by anyone, except by a group of woodpeckers who seemed to find him interesting, he decided.

　　“Well then, why not..?” He smiled to himself.

　　His eyes suddenly glowed red as his face darkened and the entire body of the man slowly changed, turning into something… Not human.

　　His clothes ripped as his body enlarged, muscles growing and his height towering. Fur rapidly grew all over him and his fingernails extended to become claws. Fangs appeared from his mouth which enlarged to take the shape of an animal's jaw. His ears grew, standing upward and his hind legs bent, with sharp nails emerging from his transformed feet, tearing through the sneakers he had on.

　　His torn shirt, trousers and undergarments were scattered on the ground, as he also removed the already vandalised shoes from his legs, turned paws.
