No Escape From My Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 89: Shifted

Penelope POV

I could hear bones snapping, reforming, reshaping and trying to adjust in my body at the same time. I wanted to say 'fuck' but instead I heard a snarl escaping my lips

Not able to bear it any further, I just succumbed to the pain blasting inside me. I heard voices in the background that sounded like, 'her wolf', 'give in', 'red'. But they all drowned in the pain that surged through me like tsunami that crashed against the shores and drowned continents.

My heart pounded faster than earlier. As the pain subsided, I opened my eyes. What greeted me, stunned me. This was the biggest shock of my eighteen years

I was on my stomach, crouching, my skin covered with red fur. In order to analyze my situation, I tried to get up, but I realized I was on my fours. Dumbfounded at the change, I put one leg forward and comprehended it was a paw

'Tam Ria,' I heard a voice in my head. 'And I am your wolf.'

Oh. My. God

I had shifted

I was speechless. I took another step forward and that too was covered in furs. I stumbled down like a baby who was about to take her first step in the world. I was red everywhere. Soft, plush red. Like flame red. Like brick red. So many smells inundated my senses that I was overwhelmed. Even the smell of earth was a hundred times better

'Say something, Penelope,' my wolf urged me

'Am I not beautiful?'

'Yes...' I whispered while still figuring it out

'You are beautiful,' I found myself saying to her in my head. The rain had reduced to a soft drizzle, falling on my coat. Clouds had disappeared and the moon shone through it, spilling its soft fire-like rays on my coat. It was

as if the moon was calling me. And it was in its full glory

Ria sat down on her hind legs. She tipped her head up and let out a howl. Immediately, she was joined by several other wolves. I wanted to experience everything that was happening to me as a wolf. And so even though I gave myself to Ria, I remained awake inside her

All of a sudden, I saw two wolves that had padded beside me. A massive white colored wolf and a caramel colored one. Steven and Kimberley. The two had run after me when they thought that something was going very wrong with me

Steven introduced his wolf, Valin, and Kimberley introduced hers, Virin

Valin nudged Ria to move forward. On my first day of shifting, I was so glad that my brother and his mate were with me. So many emotions were swirling like a typhoon inside me that I was unable to handle them, and that was why I think Ria decided to take over

Steven gave me another gentle push and urged me to go ahead with a soft snarl. I purred as I tried to rise on my paws. It was a new feeling as my paws padded over the soft grass. I liked it

No. I loved it. It was as if I had become free, as if I was closer to nature. My spirit was lifted and all I could now focus on was the various smells

The most prominent ones being that of pine and caramel that of my brother and Kimberley

Kimberley let out a purr as she too pushed me

with her snout to move forward. I moved forward and this time more steadily. Soon I let Ria take over and started walking faster

Kimberley came and tapped my butts and Ria snarled at her, but she was enjoying it. She would stop at every damn object that she found and sniff it. It seemed like she was taking in every smell that the earth had to offer her. Every sound was several octaves higher than what they used to be. A drop of water sounded like a splash of bucket to my ears

I was at peace, watching the world from Ria's eyes. It was beautiful and so serene. We all went to the small lake that was present behind the manor. I couldn't believe when Ria jumped on her own, whimpering and snarling, loving the touch of water on her fur. She even caught a

fish in her jaws. Yuck. But I laughed when she threw the fish back in as it snapped its tail in her mouth

In order to show that it was perfectly natural, Valin jumped in the lake and he caught a fish in his mouth. He smashed the fish in his jaws and Ria stared at him, terrified. Don't tell me Moon Goddess, my wolf was a vegetarian. I would die of embarrassment

Ria sniffed and played and ran a little more

under the moon. Tired, she slouched and rubbed her eyes with her paws. She found a comfortable ground beneath an oak tree and stretched herself

down. Valin and Virin too came to lie beside her

When I straightened from a slouch and rubbed

my eyes for a better look at my surroundings, I saw the morning sunlight that had spilled through the canopy of the trees, dappling my skin. High color dusted my cheekbones when I realized that I was naked in my human form

Steven wasn't there, but I saw Kimberley coming towards me with a blanket. She was already dressed in her jeans and a sweatshirt

"Gods above! When did you wake up?" I asked, feeling flushed at my state

She laughed. "We both left you an hour back but that time you hadn't shifted. But Steven posted several of his gammas around you to keep you protected."

"Shit! Don't tell me so many people saw me

naked!" I grabbed the blanket from her and wrapped it around myself tightly. When did I shift back? Why didn't I get the pain while shifting back? Kimberley laughed again. "Penelope!" she said

"Welcome to the world of werewolves. We are never ashamed of our nakedness. In fact nakedness is akin to a vampire's urge to have

blood!"
