She told everyone that I had stolen her life.
In their eyes, I was nothing but a fraud.
But it was true that I had lived as the family’s
precious daughter for twenty years. They had
raised me, and that was a debt I felt I had to
repay.
Now, that debt is paid in full.
Even in this new life, I let her choose first.
A small smile touched my lips. From this
moment on, Kiera and I owe each other nothing.
“You have received your new forms. Now, go to
your designated territories.”
The Primal God’s voice echoed, and Kiera and I
fell into our new bodies.

I came to just as the mating contracts were
sealed.
Kiera swayed her hips, walking toward the three
magnificent shifters who were now hers.
Their eyes burned with raw possession as they
looked at her.
The other males in the tribe could only stare
with envy.
They stood no chance against Kiera’s new
mates. She had claimed the tribe’s strongest: a
white tiger, a black lion, and a golden eagle.
They were a vision of absolute power, and Kiera
was their beautiful, delicate prize.
Behind me stood my own mates.
A wolf with only one eye, an eagle that couldn’t
<
fly, and a….. a seemingly harmless little cat.
My new body was that of a white wolf.

I flexed my claws, admiring their sharpness, and
felt the power in my long, sharp teeth.
Among wolf–shifters, a white coat was a sign of nobility.
But to the rest of the shifters, a powerful
female like me was undesirable.
Kiera basked in the adoration of the crowd, her
eyes filled with satisfaction.
When the shifters looked at me, all I saw was disgust.
That was why the previous owner of this body
had been assigned the three most broken,
unwanted males in the tribe.
Г
But Kiera didn’t understand a simple truth.
Only your enemies truly want you to be weak.
I looked at the three shifters behind me and led
them away toward our new territory without a
word.
My calm demeanor seemed to make them
nervous.
They followed me timidly, their steps careful as
if they were afraid of setting me off.
When we arrived at our cave, I frowned.
It was cold, damp, and dark. Not a fit place to
live.
“Wait here. I’ll be right back.
Maybe it was the human part of me still
<
Maybe it was the human part of me still
lingering, but I couldn’t stand the thought of sleeping in this grim, wet hole.
I returned a short while later with a load of
firewood and fresh prey, my heart pounding
with exhilaration.
The strength and speed of this new body were
beyond anything I could have imagined.
I was certain I was just as powerful as Kiera’s
three prize–winning mates.
As I entered the cave, I saw that it had been
tidied up.
The hard stone slab that served as a bed was
now covered with soft, dry grass and animal
pelts. There was even a small, delicate flower
placed on the stone table.
My three mates watched me, their expressions
<
unreadable.
I dropped the slaughtered animal in front of
them. They swallowed hard, their eyes fixed on
me, full of fear.
“Go on, eat. I’ll have some later.”
I had no taste for raw meat and blood, so I built
a small fire to the side.
I tore off a piece of meat and began to roast it
on a stick.
They stared at me, their eyes wide with shock.
In their old tribe, even if they had managed to
hunt something, they would never have been
allowed the first bite.
They were given scraps, leftovers, or rotting
meat.
