Chapter 996: BONUS - : THE FIRST SHIFT
"Mama, why Zan and Zen are in pain?" Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. She clung to her mother’s neck tightly.
They were having a great time, listening to Iris’s story under the tree in a calm afternoon in the backyard garden when suddenly Zander and Zenith writhed in pain.
Iris immediately knew that they were going through their first shift and based on what she learned, it could be quite painful and confusing for the little shifter to go through this milestone, thus they would need an adult shifter to guide them throughout the process.
"Go with Joel, okay?" Iris coaxed Zaya, because she didn’t want her daughter to be traumatized with the sight. It was normal for the shifter to see this, but Zaya didn’t understand and she was too small for the explanation about why her brothers were in so much pain.
Zaya was two years old when Zander and Zenith went through their first shift.
"No. No. No..." She hugged Iris’s neck tightly, she didn’t want to let go, while crying, calling her brother and asked her mother to do something because they were in pain.
"Finn has called the king. The king must be in the study room right now." Joel couldn’t get Zaya from her mother and she looked so scared.
Meanwhile, Iris couldn’t leave her sons on their own.
Thankfully, Cane came immediately once he learned about the situation and Zaya pointed her finger at her brothers.
"Daddy... help! Help!" She cried, her little face turned very red and Cane came to her to give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Don’t worry, they will be fine," Cane said and then came to his sons.
