Werewolves' transformation was possible, obviously, thanks to magic. However, the process was a series of physical modifications which broke and then rebuilt bones, displaced organs, and traumatized their body. Only habit and the high pain tolerance of the children of the Moon Goddess allowed the werewolves to induce the changes without any problems.
This was the reason why an omega or a pregnant female dominant couldn't shift. From the moment a werewolf's pheromones changed to those betraying their pregnancy, the werewolf couldn't shift anymore. That was the young beta very matter.
Dante looked at Lucas, his eyes filled with concern. He would have less hesitation if the latter could shift. The plan and especially the route he was going to show them to leave the territory of Crescent Moon was going to lead them to one of the most hostile areas if not the most among the wildlands. Deigh Rift.
