Shadow of the Panther

In the dim light of the full moon, Elena’s body began to ripple and shift, her human form blurring as sleek black fur sprouted along her arms and back. The fierce, primal energy coursed through her veins, sharpening her senses and igniting a wild hunger deep inside. She fought to hold on to her fading humanity, but the panther within clawed its way out—powerful, graceful, and untamed. With a final breath, her eyes flashed golden, and the woman she once was dissolved into the shadow of the night, a creature born of both woman and beast, ready to reclaim the darkness as her own.
