Night's Promise
“This, however, was more of a nightmare, and even though he knew he was dreaming, he was helpless to escape. . . .
Unlike shape-shifting, transforming into a werewolf proved to be agonizing as bones, muscle, tissue, and flesh stretched and crackled. He writhed on the ground, howling in pain until it was over.

Pausing, he star...ed at his reflection. When he shape-shifted, the creature he became was a handsome thing, fur thick and black, eyes gray, body perfectly formed. But the creature that stared back at him now was hideous—the snout too long, the ears big and misshapen, the body out of proportion.
He whined low in his throat, then turned away and began to run again, his jaws dripping saliva as he scented prey ahead.
He found her caught in a thicket.
It was Sheree, as he had known it would be.
She screamed when she saw him, struggling with renewed effort to free herself from the briars that were tangled in her clothing and hair.MoreLess
