Washington said, “It’s the right thing. I say do it.”

Ford said, “Ditto.”

Madison stood, walked, and stepped close to Lincoln. “You don’t know the things about her the way I do. Her last alpha was an asshole. I’m not sure she’d agree to this.”

Ford stood, saying, “If he doesn’t do this, she might not make it long enough to agree to anything.”

Madison made eye contact with each of them. “You’re men. You don’t get it.”

Nikki said, “I get it. I know about her past, too.”

Madison sneered at Nikki. “That’s funny, Ponygirl, because she never mentioned you.”

“I’m not surprised,” Nikki said. She turned her attention to Lincoln. “Most of us are born shifters. Did you know she was forced to become a shifter?”

Lincoln said, “I did.”

“Well, I didn’t,” Ford said. “That makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.”

Lincoln said, “We all have things we want to keep hidden.”

Madison said, “I’m not sure she’d agree to this, but if it keeps her alive, I say do it.”

Lincoln nodded and pointed to Nikki. “Are you strong enough to hold her because this isn’t going to be pleasant? It’s going to hurt like hell for her.” He jutted out his chin to Tristan. “Get one of those medical people over here in case this goes wrong.”

Tristan nodded and took off.

Blake tried to put his hands in his pockets. It made his jeans even tighter. He hated tight jeans, but Nikki told him the tighter the jeans were, the better for this area. “What could go wrong?”

“She hasn’t acknowledged him as her alpha,” Washington said. “Lincoln may not have a strong enough connection to complete the shift.”

“Oh,” Blake said.

Tristan returned with a medic.

“What do we have?” The medic asked.

Washington explained the situation.

The medic raised his eyebrows. “Okay, let’s do this. I’m ready.”

Lincoln kneeled over Reagan’s body, closed his eyes, and placed his hands on her chest.

The power he sent into her body made all of them rock back. The hairs on the back of Blake’s neck rose, and electric tingles raced through his body. Reagan’s body convulsed, and a loud moan that wasn’t human or animalistic escaped her body. Nikki tried to keep a tight enough grip on Reagan’s body, but the violent convulsions made it too hard. Her legs elongated, and the fur turned into skin, but her head was stuck in wolf form.

Lincoln opened his eyes and found Washington.

Washington nodded and said, “You have to step completely into your role.”

Lincoln closed his eyes and increased his power. It was so powerful that Blake stepped back to escape the heat.

In a loud pop, Reagan’s body curled in on itself, and the shift was completed. She opened her eyes but seemed disoriented and panicked, fighting off Lincoln’s hands.

Nikki grabbed Reagan’s face and forced her to still, “Hey, hey, you’re okay. I’ve got you.”

Reagan stared into Nikki’s eyes. Nikki nodded and smiled. “It’s okay. I’ve got you.”

Reagan’s breathing normalized.
