The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 739

Chapter 739: DARK FORCES

"Why Cane is late?" Iris asked, she stared at the close door, while Otis’s voice travelled inside.

Currently, Iris was with Hanna, who helped her to get dressed and Della also Grace, because the healer had a strict order to be with the baby all the time, just in case something went wrong with Rora.

"The alpha sent word that there is something he had to do, but Will explained that the alpha is helping one of the orphan children to go through her first shift."

"First shift? Who is that?" Iris asked, curious. Since, she had never gone through any shifting she didn’t have any experience about it, but from what she knew, it was difficult and could be very painful, if there was no one to guide you during that period of time.

First shift was a remarkable moment for a shifter, as this would be the first time for them to get the power of their beast. To became one with their mythical side. It was crucial moment, where they should be in sync with their beast side for the first time.

"It is Joyce, luna," Otis replied.

Leena went to look for someone to help her because Joyce was in pain, her body was so hot and she suddenly writhed on the floor, which scared the little girl and at that time, Cane was the only person nearby and heard her cries.

He knew almost immediately what Joyce was currently going through and approached the poor little girl. Cane cradled Joyce in his arms, as he guided her through this whole process.

"Don’t fight back," Cane said. He remembered how his father guided him through this experience so many years ago and how he watched his brother and sister went through the same thing too, after that, he did the same to almost all the children in the pack during their first shift when they were in the slavery, Joel included. "Don’t fight it back, let it comes."

When you shifted for the first time, you would feel like there was something intruded your mind and made your heart restless. Your first instinct would be to fight it back, but if you did it, the process would take a long time and would be more painful in each time you resisted it.

However, it was hard to fight your first instinct if you were confused about what to do, especially when no one had ever explained this to you.

Cane put Joyce on the floor again, but this time, he let her laid on her stomach, while he rubbed his back and massaged her stiff neck, while Leena was staring at the two of them, she was still sobbing. You could hear how Joyce started to growl and this scared the little girl.

"Leena," Cane called the scared little girl. "Can you help me to get Will here? I need his help."

Leena raised her head and then nodded before she scurried away from the room. Actually, Cane didn’t need Will help, Joyce was fine, she was about to shift, but Leena would be traumatized to see Joyce shifted for the first time, since it wouldn’t be as smooth as the adult shifter.

At first, Joyce supported her body with her elbows and knees, as she alternated between sobbing and growling.

Her shifting started from her lower body and she screamed in shock to see her body changed, it could be scary to see how half of your body was not what you expected to see.

With this, Cane shifted into his beast and nudged her cheek, as if telling her that was alright. He gave comfort with his presence, until Joyce was relax enough and let the shifting process happened without resisting.

Cane nudged the little wolf’s body beside him. Joyce’s beast was very small compared to the alpha, she had this bright honey color fur and her eyes looked confused and scared, but with the alpha by her side, he guided her out of the room and let the beast to take the first step in the open area.

Cane’s black beast took her for a walk and run after she looked more comfortable. At first, the bright honey beast looked clumsy, she fell a few times when she tried to walk, but fifteen minutes later, she already ran alongside the alpha.
