My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 262: Shifting

Nina

I felt myself begin to shift just as the rogue caught up with me.

The feeling was overwhelming. It felt as though the world was spinning around me, and I was just holding onto the earth for dear life. I dug my fingers down into the frozen soil and groaned as it felt as though my bones were growing and changing inside of me, and felt a bit of vomit bubble up and pour out of my throat and onto the ground.

When I looked up, I saw the rogue leader’s glowing yellow eyes staring at me from the shadows. A large paw stepped out into the moonlight, followed by a body and a snarling, grimacing face.

“Cora, if you’re going to shift, it needs to be right now,” I thought to my wolf, pleading with her to hurry up with the process. Even if I couldn’t fight well yet in my wolf form, I could at least run once it was over. I just hoped that I would be able to outrun the rogue leader.

“I’m trying,” she responded. “But I don’t have that much control over it.”

I groaned again, partially from pain and partially from terror. I tried to push myself up onto my hands and knees, but as I began to crawl away I felt my limbs shaking beneath me. I fell to the ground and began to drag myself into the underbrush on my belly, as though doing so would even help me to stand a chance at getting away from the rogue leader.

Of course, the rogue leader was now stalking closer to me. He was toying with me as if I was his prey. I pictured him behind me grinning widely as he came closer and closer, and at the same time his stinking scent filled my senses and made me gag.

I heard his voice echo in
