NICO’S POV

Sleeping was hard.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t tired—I almost always was. It was that I couldn’t shut my mind off.

It kept running around in circles, doing loops and backflips, ultimately around one topic—Bella.

Ever since she’d awoken and found me by her bedside, she’d been…different.

I’d moved back to the factory staff quarters after what happened, and I’d expected antagonism, braced myself for it.

But Bella seemed…settled in my presence.

It was like all the hate and anger she’d thrown my way when she’d screamed at me to reject her had simply vanished.

She spent most of her days in her room, sleeping, and I respected her need for solitude and distance. When she did come out, though, it seemed that she sought me out.

She sat with me during meal times, and even though we didn’t talk, the silence between us wasn’t tense. It was comfortable.

I worried about her, about the episode she’d had regarding her ordeals. But she hadn’t brought it up, hadn’t shown much sign of distress oth

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 196: YOU’RE SAFE NOW

    NATASHA’S POVThe light was blinding.After so long in the dark, even the flickering beam from a flashlight was enough to send daggers through my skull.I flinched instinctively, vision swimming, and tried to lift my arms to shield my face—only to remember, too late, that my limbs barely obeyed me anymore.“Natasha?!”That voice—Andrea’s—splintered something in me. Not because it was familiar. Because it wasn’t supposed to be here. None of this was supposed to be real.I opened my mouth, but only a rasp came out. The last time I’d spoken, it was to beg for my life. Or maybe I’d been screaming. I couldn’t remember anymore.I tried to focus, but everything hurt. My skin felt stretched too thin. My throat was cracked and raw. My joints creaked like old wood, and my muscles trembled just from the act of pushing myself up.The floor beneath me felt colder than anything I’d ever known. The chill seeped through my skin, gripped my bones.“Help her up,” Kade barked. The voice was sharper than

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 195: THE DEPTHS OF HELL

    NATASHA’S POVI thought my life was over when my cushy world as an Alpha’s daughter—and fiancé—was tipped on its axis when my dad gave me away to his ‘friend’ for protection.Then I thought I’d hit rock bottom when the ‘friend’ shoved me into lingerie made of cheap net and plastic diamonds and forced me to dance and fuck under the name Vixen.And then, when Kade had me dragged out of that strip club, kicking and screaming, I thought there was absolutely no fucking way things could ever get worse.Little did I know that that night was only the beginning of my misery.The dungeon I was thrown into after my so-called arrest was little more than a holding pen—a pit of damp stone and silence. No windows. No voices. Just the mocking echo of my own thoughts.Kade had said I could be pardoned if I persuaded my father to cooperate, but I never even saw him.Days passed, and I didn’t see my father. Didn’t see Kade. At some point, I would have even been happy to see fucking Andrea.But no one ca

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 194: TOO LATE

    ANDREA’S POVThe dining room looked like a war room.Maps and reports covered every inch of the table, the TV was muted but still playing the news on loop, and the weight of the stress was so heavy that every one of us looked like we hadn’t slept in days.The scent of cheese and tomato sauce hung thick in the air, but despite how delicious Fabio’s lasagna looked, no one seemed to be able to stomach food.“I still say we push for a public statement,” Gina said, arms crossed over her chest. “Control the narrative before the mayor does any more damage.”“No.” That came from Kade, low and firm. His secretary, David, and the head of his sentinels, Richard, stood quietly behind him, observing, waiting for orders.“We don’t have proof. Not yet. If we speak now, it’ll only draw more attention to the factory and its staff. We can’t counter shit if we don’t have concrete evidence.”“Then we sow discord,” Fabio said, fingers tapping restlessly against his coffee mug. “Just enough to discredit th

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 193: I WANT JUSTICE

    BELLA’S POVIt felt like everything was falling apart.From the moment Nico came into my room, informing me that I had to exit the factory with the rest of the staff, to when I stepped out into the bright chaos of flashing lights and rising voices.Packed like sardines with the staff, snippets of what was going on filtered into my ears all around me.‘The kidnappings…’‘Alpha’s behind it? No fucking way!’‘I heard they found evidence. Files, or some bullshit.’‘What’s going to happen?’‘No fucking clue.’Now, I hugged my knees to myself, curling up on an unfamiliar single bed in an unfamiliar room. The walls were a cheerful collage of bright colors and cartoon characters that contrasted with the dread sitting heavy in my stomach.I could hear the chaos downstairs, muffled by the walls and the floor between us.Alpha Andrea’s home had been turned into a base of operations of sorts. She and Alpha Kade, along with her friend, Julia, Gina, Fabio, Nico, and two members of Kade’s pack whose

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 192: SEVEN DAYS

    ANDREA’S POVThe air felt too thick. I couldn’t breathe. My legs locked in place, as if moving might somehow make the nightmare more real.That file—the file of all the fucking missing people—was in my office.How the fuck had it gotten there?Behind me, I heard Kade’s breath catch—a sharp, bitten-off inhale that told me exactly how bad this looked. Worse than bad. Catastrophic.Not just for me—but for everything I’d built in New York.Red Water Pack's relation with all the other packs. My factory. The shaky, fragile threads of trust we’d spun with the human world.Gone. All of it. With a file folder and four vials of goddess-knows-what.“I want the lab results expedited,” Blackstone was saying, addressing his aides like some smug CEO of justice. “Chain of custody needs to be airtight. I want analysis within 48 hours.”“Mayor Blackstone—” I tried, stepping forward.“No.” His voice cracked across the room like a whip. “You don’t speak right now unless it’s to admit how deep this goes.”

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 191: A SETUP

    ANDREA’S POVFrom the moment the news hit, everything exploded.The phones wouldn’t stop ringing. Reporters clustered outside the factory gates like vultures in human clothes.Protesters had already started gathering by the time Kade and I stepped out into the chaos—some waving hand-painted signs, others shoving even more cameras in our faces.The tension hung in the air like a storm cloud, dark and humming with static.As I beheld the havoc, my heart sank to the pit of my stomach.This place—my factory—had been created to represent progress, peace, and collaboration between wolves and humans.That had once been threatened by the potion/plague fiasco. But this…This was much worse.Now, it looked like a crime scene. Police cruisers lined the curb. Yellow tape crisscrossed the entrance. And at the center of it all stood Mayor Blackstone, flanked by two stiff-looking aides and a small a
