My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game (Elena and Marcus) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Chapter 181 First Shift

Dawn’s POV

I watched Damien and Elena through waves of agony that consumed every fiber of my being. My bones were shattering and rebuilding themselves in ways that defied everything I thought I knew about the human body.

The torment was beyond anything I had ever endured. I had survived countless brutal training sessions, endured punishment that would break most people, but this pain transcended all previous suffering. It felt like my very soul was being torn apart and reconstructed.

Screams escaped my throat when I could manage them, but most of the time the pain left me doubled over and gasping, unable to even breathe properly.

Asher dropped to the ground beside me and pulled me against him, practically cradling me in his lap. His touch felt surprisingly cool against my burning skin, providing the only relief I could find.

Through my blurred vision, I saw Damien and Elena standing directly in front of us. Above their heads, the full moon blazed down on us with an intensity that seemed to pierce straight through me.

Elena crouched down but maintained her distance, staying roughly a foot away from where I writhed in Asher’s arms. Her eyes held a gentleness I had never seen before.

"Stop resisting it. Let the change happen naturally," she urged.

I had no idea what she meant. I wasn’t fighting anything. The pain was simply overwhelming me.

"What are you even talking about?" I forced out between clenched teeth.

"Try to breathe and relax your body. The first transformation is always the most difficult," Elena said with surprising tenderness.

Another scream tore from my throat, and then something fundamental shifted deep inside me. The sensation was like every cell in my body suddenly awakening to a new reality.

Asher immediately pulled back, and I struggled to stand on unsteady legs. When I tried to move toward him, my entire body felt foreign and uncoordinated.

Elena rose to her full height, and I noticed that she seemed much taller than before. Both she and Damien were looking down at me with expressions of pride and satisfaction.

Everything around me appeared different. Taller. Changed.

I glanced down at myself and froze in shock. My hands and feet had vanished, replaced by paws that were a striking mixture of black and white fur. The sight made me stumble backward in disbelief.

"I’m a wolf. I’m actually a fucking wolf!" The thought screamed through my mind.

"Yes, you are," Elena responded, though her lips hadn’t moved.

My head snapped up to stare at her. "How did you do that?"

"We’re communicating through mind link. It’s possible because you’re still technically part of our pack," she explained without speaking aloud.

No. This couldn’t be real. My entire existence had been dedicated to hunting and eliminating wolves. I couldn’t actually be one myself. The situation was completely insane. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
