Chapter 3
1 hour later.
The Beta turned around to see a black wolf with three golden stripes on his back.
He immediately went on his knees.
“May I know the future Alpha’s wolf.” he asked.
“Call me, Ivan.” was the wolf’s reply in mind link.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Can we see the pack now?” the Beta asked again.
“Yup!”
Getting this permission, the Beta led the way to the party.
The pack members cheered and danced in seeing the large, fearsome wolf. This was their future Alpha.
“Ah, he’s so robust!”
“Look at that shiny black fur!”
“It’s the stripes for me. His legs are sturdy too.”
the girls said excitedly.
Some hadn’t shifted. The ones who had shifted didn’t hear their wolf cry “MATE!” so they knew he wasn’t theirs. But maybe someone else was, but who was the person?
Alpha Blake walked to his son’s wolf and patted him on the head.
“Good job!” he said with red eyes.
“Alpha, his name is Ivan.” the Beta said.
“Woah… such a manly name!”
“Ah, Cupid’s arrow!”
Some girls said dramatically.
Others shook their head at the love-struck ladies.
“Shift!” Alpha Blake commanded and the black wolf transformed back to Chase in three minutes.
He stood without clothes and faced the pack. His eyes changed from red to green.
The pack could see a blur in his private places. They couldn’t see his nipples, navel and abdomen down to his thighs clearly.
“This is your future Alpha.” the Alpha raised his son’s left hand up, and the audience cheered.
His mom, Luna Anita, went to hug him.
“My dear son.” she whispered.
“Have you found your mate?” she asked.
“My mate isn’t here, mum. She must be from another pack.” Chase said to the hearing of all.
“Maybe she is among these unshifted hotties.” the Luna said and Chase nodded.
“Mum, I’m a bit embarrassed.” he mind linked his mom.
“But no one can see you bare darling. There’s a blur.” she replied back in mind link.
“That doesn’t apply to parents and doctors.” he mumbled.
“Hahaha. So, my son is this shy?”
“I’m not. Only my mate should see my body without the blur.”
“Okay, my boy! Let’s get you clothed. ” she broke the hug and suddenly carried him on her shoulder.
“Hey mum. Put me down. This is embarrassing!” he complained.
“Son, it’s tradition.” she said with a smile.
“What nonsense tradition? You just want to treat me like a child.”
“But you are a child. You’ll be a man only when you are Alpha and get your mate.”
Chase felt defeated. This mum of his…
“Alright, let’s have a blast people!” the Beta yelled after the Alpha had returned to his designated seat.

3 years later.
Lavana chewed the special herbs to heal faster. She had just been beaten by two 15-year-old unshifted girls.
“I’m already 19 and still haven’t shifted. What the hell is going on?” she thought in worry.
Since last year, the voice in her head did not talk to her at all. Now it’s already 5 months into this year and she still didn’t shift.
“Sorry, dear! We might have overslept, but we are ready now. Get into position. We are coming.” said the familiar gentle voice.
Lavana’s eyes lit up.
“So I’m ready to shift? I can’t wait to find our mate.” she said with excitement.
Soon, she’ll be out of this shit hole of a pack for good.
But then, a question came to her mind.
“Hey, why do you always say ‘we’ instead of ‘I’ or do are you referring to us both?” Lavana asked.
“Find a secluded place within ten minutes. You will get the answer you seek, hun.”
“Alright.” Lavana rose. She arranged her clothes and hair before taking one last look at the bag at the extreme. She smiled and then ran out of her room.
Those who saw her hissed. They assumed she must be looking for a place to pee or poop.
>>>>>>>
She ran to the woodshed and stopped to catch her breath.
Well, she normally has to split wood for the pack for years. No one bothers to come here unless it’s almost winter.
She quickly locked the door of the woodshed and hid behind the pile of firewood.
“Alright, can I get the answer now?” Lavana asked.
“Yes, dear!” replied the voice.
“Crawl position.” the voice ordered, and she obeyed.
“Remember this; You must never scream throughout the transformations.” the voice warned.
“Transformations? I don’t get you.” she frowned.
“Speak no more. Save your strength instead for what is ahead.” the voice said and suddenly, she felt her backbone crack. That really hurt. She’d prefer to be beaten rather.
This damn wolf of hers told her not to scream. But how would she be able to do that? The pain is indescribable. She felt like she was thrown into a furnace to die.
“Can’t you just seal my voice?” she asked.
“As you wish!”
More of her bones snapped, cracked and lengthened. Her teeth all fell out as her ears lengthened.
Bloody tears flowed from her eyes as she tried to scream, but no sounds came out. Her wolf had sealed her voice; just as she had ordered.
“Don’t resist the pain. Let it crush you, allow it to swallow you whole, hun. Save your strength for the other two transformations.”
“Eh? 2 more? Into what she asked in her head.
“Shush! You will know soon.”
Lavana felt defeated.
So she’ll transform three times. Into what? Three different wolves or something else? What was she even changing to now?
She felt terrified already.
“Calm your thoughts or the pain of the other two transformations will be tripled.” the voice cautioned.
“But…”
“This is your last warning, Lavana.” the voice sounded harsh this time and she stopped asking. Better focus on getting through the two transformations.
Her clothes ripped and fell to the ground. She grabbed the sand along with the few grass growing on it.
Her mouth kept opening and closing.
This is just the first transformation and she felt like dying already and there’s are still two moe waiting for her? How would she survive it?
“Don’t think too much. Just focus, hun. Once you’re done, you’ll be dancing.” said the voice soothingly.
