Lyra's POV
I refuse! Nyx's voice thundered through my consciousness like a storm breaking loose. I will not stand for this humiliation!
The High Alpha needs to understand exactly who we are and what we're capable of!
Not here! I screamed back at her internally. Not in front of everyone. We'll handle this later.
There is no later! Nyx's fury crashed over me like a tidal wave. This spawn will pay for his disrespect. Right now.
The transformation hit me like lightning striking twice in the same spot. My body convulsed as the familiar fire of shifting consumed every nerve ending. I doubled over, my palms slapping against the cold cafeteria floor as they began their metamorphosis. Fingers elongated into claws, then reformed into powerful paws while my spine curved and stretched into my wolf form. The burning sensation that always accompanied Nyx's takeover felt more intense than ever before. When I glanced down, my clothes lay in smoldering ruins around my transformed body.
