Nyssa pov
“Why did you change your mind? I thought you didn’t want to shift?” Sheila asked for the fifth time as we walked toward the woods, more like sneaking, if you ask me.
Everywhere was quiet. I had already taken off my sandals, walking barefoot to avoid drawing attention to myself. With everyone too distracted by the drama going on, it made sneaking out easier.
I exhaled sharply as we reached the destination, my secret spot. Everything was still, except for the distant sounds of nature… birds chirping in the trees.
“I don’t know,” I shrugged. “I guess I was just bored and wanted to do something fun before I actually die. And shifting might be fun.”
I could practically hear Sheila scoff, and though I wasn’t looking at her, the mental image of her rolling her through my mind.
eyes flashed
“You know, I haven’t seen anyone so into dying like you,” she muttered. “Hell, you even want to kill yourself just to frame those two bastards. Don’t you think they’re not worth it? In our previous life, you died because of them, and now, you’re planning to die again for the same reason. So what’s the point of all this revenge, anyway?”
I let out a dry chuckle as I started tying my hair into a ponytail.
“Do you honestly think I’m doing this just for revenge, Sheila?” I asked, moving my hands to pull off the shawl wrapped around my body, shivering slightly as the cold air kissed my skin.
“If it were only about revenge, I wouldn’t go as far as killing myself. They’re not worth me losing my life over, not for the second time.
No, this isn’t just about revenge. This is about getting rid of them for good.
Kieran and Aria are a threat. And even if he never marries me, I know they were the reason behind the rogue attack. If I don’t do something about them, then my family… my pack… they’ll never be safe,” I said, reaching for my dress and unzipping it. It slipped off my body, leaving me in nothing but my underwear, and I shivered from the cold.
“But still…” Sheila’s voice grew smaller. “Isn’t it a little too much to kill yourself? You want to pierce a dagger into your own heart. Let’s forget that it’s a sin for a second, aren’t you even scared that it’ll hurt?”
Before I could stop myself, laughter burst out of me, echoing through the quiet space.
“Why are you laughing?!” she snapped, clearly annoyed.
I waved my hand, pointing at my chest with a hint of amusement.
“Painful? Are you serious, Sheila? Or did you forget I already pierced myself right here and died? I stabbed myself while I was pregnant, knowing that if I didn’t, what the rogues would do to me would be so much worse. So I killed myself without hesitation, watching my body disintegrate into dust,” I murmured, tilting my head.
“If I could do that, do you think killing myself for everyone else would be hard? I’ll just make sure I end it on time so it won’t hurt.” I shrugged and finally undressed fully, placing my clothes and shoes neatly on the rock.
“Goddess, you really have gone full crazy mode, but whatever. Let’s shift for now! I can’t wait to run through the woods,” Sheila said excitedly, causing me to snort and lick my bottom lip before taking a deep breath, eyes narrowing at nothing in particular.

Chapter 47
“Alright, let’s fucking do this,” I murmured under my breath and closed my eyes, remembering what she said yesterday about closing my eyes and envisioning the image of changing into a wolf.
I inhaled and exhaled, taking calming breaths, and soon, I began to feel something. My whole body grew hot, and my brows furrowed as a strange sensation spread through me—especially in my bones. Before I could stop it, a scream tore from my throat and I collapsed to the ground, the sound of bones breaking and reshaping echoing through the quiet air.
I quickly slapped a hand over my mouth to muffle the scream threatening to spill out. My vision blurred, my breathing grew heavier, and I felt my consciousness start to drift.
“W–what is happening? Why is it this painful? Why didn’t you tell me shifting would hurt this much?” I asked Sheila through the mindlink, and she scoffed.
“Silly girl, shifting isn’t always this painful. But this is your first time, and your body isn’t used to the transformation. That’s why it hurts. Next time you shift, you won’t feel a thing. And I know you, if I told you it was painful, you wouldn’t have wanted to do it.”
My lips trembled, though I wasn’t sure if it was from the pain or the anger but the urge to slap this stupid wolf surged inside
The least she could’ve done was give me a warning.
I gasped and shut my eyes as black dots swam in my vision. And with one last shaky breath, I slipped into unconsciousness.
The next moment, my eyes snapped open and I found myself running through the woods, no, not just running, it felt more like racing. Sprinting.
My brows furrowed in confusion as I noticed how fast my heart was pounding against my chest. I could hear everything, every crunch of leaves, every whisper of the wind. My senses had sharpened a hundredfold. It wasn’t dark anymore, and I could see clearly as I raced forward, my paws gliding effortlessly over the earth.
Wait… paws?
I had paws.
My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to scream but instead, a howl tore from me, loud and wild. The sound made me stop in my tracks, flinching in surprise.
What the actual fuck!
