In a war between the wolves and the bears, only the lost bear princess will be able to stop this fighting. Else, the bears will continue to fight themselves to exhaustion or to death.

"It's up to you," Nicholas said. "I believe in you. You can do this."

I closed my eyes. Miracle was still exhausted, but I begged for her.

*People could die, Miracle. We have to find a way to stop this fighting." We both knew the only answer would be to shift.

Miracle and I were not weak-willed. For too long, we'd been the victims of this plight. First being kidnapped, then everything with the underground organization, and now a war?

I, for one, was done standing by letting other people save me. This time, I would be the one to stop this war and save everyone else.

Miracle's determination matched mine. I gave her what strength I could, and together, we brought the wolf forward. I shifted.

Nicholas, seeing me as a wolf, shifted to, into his much larger Alpha wolf form.

Then, he threw back his head and howled. Pulled in my strength of his howl, I too pulled my head back and did the same.

Soon, all of the wolves across the battlefield did likewise, joining in an eerie chorus of wolf cries and howls.

The bears, still shifted, seemed startled. They looked toward us, standing up high near the entrance to what I could see now was a castle of some kind.

The fighting, for now, had ceased. But with the bears unsure, the peace wouldn't last. The bears needed their own hope. Their own reason to give up the fight.

And I had it.

"Now, Miracle," I said in my mind. Together, we gathered our remaining strength and pushed our bear form to the front.
