KADE'S POV

“Mommy?”

I couldn't describe my feelings when I heard that childish voice. It was like a hand plucking away the gloom inside me.

I turned around almost instinctively, however, Andrea was faster than me, and like a mother animal protecting her cubs, she rushed toward the voice, rightly blocking my sight.

“Hi, sweetheart. What are you two doing here?” Her voice was cheerful mixed with a kind of worry.

You two? I frowned and then I saw two little heads leaning over her side to look at me. Those faces, were clearly a replica of mine!

My blood was boiling, and an almost frantic certainty welled up in me: those were my pups, and Andrea had hidden them!

“Who is he, mommy?” The taller of the two kids asked and my heart handed over the air.

“Nobody, darling.” Her voice was unruffled, fueling the anger inside me again. How dare she call me Nobody before our kids?

I approached her angrily but soon I sniffed the air. My feet stopped as my puzzled eyes fell on the two kids. Why did they

    ANDREA'S POVI groaned, burying my face in Kade’s chest in an attempt to muffle the sound of my ringing phone.“Make it stop,” I mumbled.I felt Kade shift, tightening his arms around me as he reached for my phone. Then he sighed. “It’s Zayne.”’I snuggled deeper, not wanting to leave the cocoon of warmth. “Tell him to fuck off.”His chest vibrated as he chuckled. “He’s probably worried sick. Most likely, he felt yesterday’s battle through your bond.”I winced. I hadn’t even spared Zayne a thought yesterday. I stretched out a hand, and Kade placed my buzzing phone in my palm.I clumsily swiped my thumb across the screen, which was cracked from when it fell as I Shifted yesterday.“Z?” I mumbled.“Andrea! Thank the goddess,” Zayne’s voice was a whoosh of relief. “Are you okay?”I shifted, sitting up slightly. “Yeah, I am.”“Are you sure? I felt your horror and fear, and Alistair damn near lost his mind because he felt Emrae in battle, and then I saw the news about the mayor. What the h

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 206: THE HUSH AFTER CARNAGE

    ANDREA'S POVBy the time we reached home, my body ached in places I didn’t even know existed. The house wasn’t empty, but it felt quieter than I’d ever known it.Not the calm that accompanied peace. The hush after the carnage.The door creaked open as we stepped inside, our group trailing behind me with the weight of what we’d just survived still pressing on our shoulders.I barely had time to register the warmth of home before Bella appeared in the hallway, her eyes rimmed red.My eyes widened. I’d almost forgotten that we’d left Bella and Natasha at home.“Bella, are you ok—”She rushed forward without a word and threw her arms around me, a small sob escaping her lips.I tightened my arms around her instinctively, one hand stroking her hair as she held on to me for dear life. “I’m sorry,” I whispered. “We didn’t catch him.”She shook her head fiercely against my shoulder. “No. Thank you. You exposed him; now the world knows the truth, and I know you did your best.”She pulled back s

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 205: MIRROR OF HELL

    ANDREA’S POVPanting, I shifted back, my body aching. Blood soaked my tattered clothes and skin, but I was still standing.The stench of smoke, blood, and something unnatural clung to the air. My ears rang with the phantom echoes of screams.All around us, the plaza was a mirror of hell: torn banners, shattered glass, overturned barriers, and bodies—too many of them. Some human. Some not.My hands trembled as I wiped gore from my eyes. A long gash throbbed along my thigh, sluggish blood seeping out. I didn't even feel the pain anymore—just the weight.Kade was by my side in the blink of an eye, crossing through the chaos to pull me against his chest.“You okay?” he asked, voice rough with concern.I didn’t answer immediately. I closed my eyes and inhaled, taking in his scent mixed in with the tainted blood of those…things.“Andrea.” He sounded like he was being strangled. “I need to hear you say you’re okay.”I nodded, pressing a close-lipped kiss to his bare chest. “I’m okay,” I whis

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 204: THIS ISN’T OVER

    MASON’S POVThe tires screeched against the pavement as I veered the car left, narrowly avoiding a pile of debris—rubble, glass, maybe bodies—I didn’t check.The engine roared beneath me, the stench of burning rubber mingling with blood and smoke as I sped away from the war zone that had once been a pristine city plaza.I glanced at the rearview mirror and snorted. Mayor Blackstone was slumped against the leather seat, panting like a wet dog. His once-pristine suit was smeared with blood and ash, one sleeve torn, his hands shaking.“Seatbelt,” I said dryly, just to needle him.He didn’t respond. Just glared ahead with those wild eyes, like he couldn’t decide if he wanted to scream or cry.I didn’t blame him. His plan had failed. Colossally. Epically. Disastrously.“Tell me again,” I said after a long moment, when we’d left the chaos behind and all we had to worry about was the slow-moving traffic, “how exactly you thought framing Andrea Carter was a good idea?”“Shut up, Holland.” His

    KADE'S POV‘What. The. Fuck?’ Jaxon growled as we beheld the abomination happening right before my eyes.The guard beside Blackstone—one of many I’d noticed that stood a little too still, a little too poised, whose scents were…off—dropped to all fours with a sickening crunch of bone and tore through his uniform as his limbs elongated and snapped. His skin peeled, shredding down his back like wet paper as coarse fur exploded outward.I took a befuddled step back, unable to keep the horror and disgust off my face. The experiments—they’d gone farther than we initially thought and this…It wasn’t a werewolf. It was something entirely different.A fucking grotesque aberration.The crowd screamed. A ripple of pure horror tore through the plaza as two more of Blackstone’s “security” followed suit, transforming in perfect synchronization. No pain. No hesitation.Their faces didn’t contort in the usual anguish of Shifting—they grinned. Grinned as their jaws split open to accommodate rows of se

  • Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back   CHAPTER 202: MONSTER

    BLACKSTONE’S POVI had planned every second of this day.From the polished lapel of my suit to the exact moment the cameras would cut to my rehearsed smile, this was meant to be the final nail in Andrea Carter’s coffin. A public shaming. A demonstration of power. A declaration that order had returned to New York City under my watch.The stage was set. The screens were up. My security detail stood poised at every corner like silent sentinels.I could feel the electric buzz of anticipation as thousands gathered—citizens, reporters, council members, foreign dignitaries, even. All here to witness the spectacle of justice I’d created for them.Nothing could have prepared me for the reality of becoming the spectacle myself.“You wanted transparency, Blackstone?” The look in Andrea Carter’s eyes sent a stab of ice through my spine. “Enjoy being fucking see-through.”When the screen flickered, at first, I thought it was a minor technical issue. Perhaps a wire had come loose. My tech team had
