The Transformation*
Nina's cry echoed through the room, a primal scream that sent shivers down Sophia's spine. The air seemed to vibrate with energy, the shadows twisting and wrath as Nina's body began to change.
Her limbs lengthened, her muscles rippling beneath her skin. Her face elongated, her senses heightening as her eyes transformed into piercing yellow orbs.
A low growl rumbled in her chest, a warning to anyone who dared to approach. Sophia watched, transfixed, as Nina's transformation reached its peak.

The wolf's growl faded, replaced by a low whine. Its ears perked up, and it took a hesitant step forward, its eyes never leaving Lucas's face.
Sophia's heart swelled with emotion as she realized – Nina was trying to communicate.
The wolf took another step forward, its movements stiff and uncertain. Lucas's eyes filled with tears as he reached out, his hand extended.
