Chapter 739: DARK FORCES
"Why Cane is late?" Iris asked, she stared at the close door, while Otis’s voice travelled inside.
Currently, Iris was with Hanna, who helped her to get dressed and Della also Grace, because the healer had a strict order to be with the baby all the time, just in case something went wrong with Rora.
"The alpha sent word that there is something he had to do, but Will explained that the alpha is helping one of the orphan children to go through her first shift."
"First shift? Who is that?" Iris asked, curious. Since, she had never gone through any shifting she didn’t have any experience about it, but from what she knew, it was difficult and could be very painful, if there was no one to guide you during that period of time.
First shift was a remarkable moment for a shifter, as this would be the first time for them to get the power of their beast. To became one with their mythical side. It was crucial moment, where they should be in sync with their beast side for the first time.
"It is Joyce, luna," Otis replied.
Leena went to look for someone to help her because Joyce was in pain, her body was so hot and she suddenly writhed on the floor, which scared the little girl and at that time, Cane was the only person nearby and heard her cries.
He knew almost immediately what Joyce was currently going through and approached the poor little girl. Cane cradled Joyce in his arms, as he guided her through this whole process.
"Don’t fight back," Cane said. He remembered how his father guided him through this experience so many years ago and how he watched his brother and sister went through the same thing too, after that, he did the same to almost all the children in the pack during their first shift when they were in the slavery, Joel included. "Don’t fight it back, let it comes."
