A dragon shifter novel Chapter 76

snout. “We’ll play together soon, okay, baby?” he murmurs, voice soft enough to melt steel. She nudges him once, an affectionate, careful

shove that nearly knocks him over anyway and he laughs again before backing away.

“Alright, pet,” he says, focusing his eyes on mine. “Just like before. Picture your human body. Feel it, see it, want it. Don’t fight the

change, guide it.”

Easy enough to say. I try to close my eyes and focus on the rhythm of his voice, on the steady pull of my heartbeat. I can see the image

he’s talking about, my own body, small and soft and human, but my dragon? She doesn’t move. I feel her, stubborn and silent, her chest

rumbling with low defiance.

“Come on,” I murmur in my head, trying to coax her like I would a child. “We need to shift back.”

A Dragon Sized Tantrum.

Her response is a disgruntled snort that bursts from her nostrils as a puff of smoke.

“Please?”

Another huff, louder this time, and she deliberately turns her massive golden head away from Evander, wings twitching in irritation.

“Uh,” Evander says after a pause, glancing at Hill, who looks both baffled and mildly offended.

“What,” the professor asks dryly, “is she doing?”

Evander presses a hand to his mouth, failing miserably to stifle a laugh. “I don’t think her dragon wants to let her shift back.”

Hill blinks, deadpan. “She’s… refusing?”

A deep, almost petulant rumble rolls from my dragon’s throat, and the ground vibrates beneath her claws.

“Oh, she’s absolutely refusing,” Evander confirms, his grin widening. “That’s the sound of a full-blown tantrum.”
