“Don’t hesitate now.”
Selena couldn’t tell if it was meant to be a taunt but it infuriated her. How dare this she wolf mock her! And yet her own wolf was cowering, not wanting to fight. In fact her wolf was whimpering.
We should beg for forgiveness.’
We are not begging to her!’ Selena snapped forcing the shift.
White fur bristled as her joints popped and her body realigned but it wasn’t easy. Her wolf was not cooperating.
Her shifts were getting more and more painful and difficult since she rejected her mate. Her wolf had grown morose and barely even spoke from the deepest recesses of her mind.
It was unacceptable. They were royalty. They deserved only the best. Even her wolf had to admit the best wolf for them was Jason. No other would do and yet her wolf dared pine for another?
The shift was exhausting and afterwards Selena shakily stood on her paws catching her breath. Her wolf still refused to come forward forcing her to control her body alone. She took a tentative step forward trying to get used to four legs. Looking up she saw Phoebe watching with an amused gleam in her eyes.
Selena snarled. Her rival hadn’t even transformed yet and she had the audacity to look down on her. Selena leapt forward intending to drag Phoebe down.

Yet she hadn’t taken two steps before Phoebe dropped shifting smoothly into a wolf shimmering silver as if formed from the moonbeams themselves.
Phoebe always thought her shifts were faster and smoother than other wolves. Máni said it stemmed from how in sync they were with each other. The more in sync one was with their wolf the easier and smoother their shifts became.
The princess hadn’t managed two leaps before Phoebe shredded her gown and dropped to all fours ready to meet her. Startled by the sudden shift Selena tried to stop but it was too late. Máni bound forward and met the princess’s charge. Grabbing her by the scruff of the neck Máni shook her violently before tossing her aside.
Landing in a heap Selena let out a sharp yelp before trying to stand. Before she could get her paws under her Máni leapt onto her. She landed with the princess trapped between her forelegs and snarled. Yelping in terror Selena immediately rolled onto her back and bared her neck.
Growling Máni stood over her opponent and snorted in disgust, “So this is what the royal bloodline has come to? How disappointing.”
Taking the princess’s muzzle in her mouth as a sign of dominance and victory Máni stepped away her tail held high as the undisputed victor. Reaching the torn gown she paused letting her blue gray eyes take in her audience noting their startled, shocked and disbelieving looks
This could be bad, Phoebe warned.
Turning their attention to Jason they saw he looked as shocked as everyone else by the silver wolf in front of him.
A soft whine escaped as they worried about his silence.
Was he angry? Disappointed?
He blinked seemingly coming out of his stupor before stepping forward. Coming to stand before them he knelt so they could be face-to-face. Hesitantly he reached out cupping her head in his hands and letting her silky fur run between his fingers. Tingles of their bond erupted from his touch and with it his soothing presence.
“So, you’re Máni, Jason murmured. “You are as beautiful as Phoebe and Lobo can’t wait to run with you.”
Her tail wagged and their worries faded. Wiggling with excitement Mani pressed forward licking his nose and earning a chuckle for her brazen attitude.
‘Maybe we should shift back, Phoebe said. It’ll make it easier to explain.’
‘Fine. But I better get to run with my Mate soon, Máni huffed before allowing her control.
Máni’s consciousness slipped back allowing Phoebe to come forward again. As they switched places the shift took over. Their body realigned and bones snapped back into place. Their fur withdrew and as her knees settled on the cold cobblestone Phoebe suddenly realized she was, in fact, naked in front of the gathered alphas and lunas.
Her face burned with embarrassment not sure what she should do when a soft cloth suddenly settled over her shoulders. Looking up she saw Jason kneeling in front of her tucking a satin table cloth around her like a blanket and growling at their audience for daring to look at his Luna in a compromising position.
”
…Jason.”
