Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 50: A FRIEND
ANDREA’S POVI blinked at the woman in front of me, feeling my defenses lower.Her hand was stretched out to me, and she had a friendly smile on her face. “I'm Nora. It's lovely to meet you.”Nora—the woman who'd helped the twins in the park the other day. The one who smelled like Kade.I could smell it, too. But it wasn't the scent I imagined—not like the one I carried around after…you know.Her scent was similar to Kade’s, yes, but it seemed reformed—like a combination, but still uniquely hers.I guess it was just a coincidence.The woman—Nora, smiled wider. “Aren't you going to shake my hand?”I blinked. “Right.” I laughed awkwardly, reaching out to shake her hand. “Um, I'm Andrea. Sorry for the earlier hostility.”She shrugged, squeezing my hand lightly as she smiled. “That's okay. I admire a Mama Bear.”Luca and Matteo, sensing that I was no longer antagonistic towards Nora, moved from behind me and went to her.“Aunty Nora, will you play with us?” they asked, tugging her along.

ANDREA’S POV“Okay, done!” Nora said, coming into the kitchen. She was panting but beaming.“Woah!” I exclaimed, taking in her wet shirt. “What happened?”She laughed. “The twins are obsessed with the huge bath. They insisted on playing pirate ship very fervently.”“Ah,” Zayne commented. “That’s why when I bathe them, I do it in my swimming trunks.”Nora laughed. “Thanks for the tip.”Zayne tipped an imaginary hat to her. He’d been here when we got back to help set up the rest of the move. We decided that with everything between us, it was best if we didn’t move in together. He’d gotten a nice little apartment less than five minutes away so he could still be in our lives.I laughed, grimacing slightly. “I’m so sorry. I should have done bath time.”Nora waved my concerns away. “Are you kidding? You’ve done more than enough by letting me stay here. I’m more than happy to take care of the twins any way you need.”I smiled softly. “Thank you.”I gestured to her damp shirt. “Do you have a

ANDREA’S POV“Gina,” I said tightly. “I’ll think of something and call you back.”“Okay, Alpha.”I hung up and tossed my phone aside with a growl.“Is there a problem, Andrea?” Nora asked hesitantly.I ran my hand through my hair with a sharp exhale.“It’s fine; nothing you need to worry about,” I told her.She moved closer and put a hand on my shoulder. “Still, maybe if you talk about it, you’ll feel better.”I snorted, grabbing my wine glass. I downed the whole thing in one gulp. “Talking about Kade Nightshade has never made me feel better.”Nora raised a brow. “The person you have a problem with is Kade Nightshade?”I turned to her. “You know him?”She leaned back and folded her arms. “In passing. What did that asshole do now?”I raised a brow. The tone in her voice suggested she knew Kade in more than just passing. Nora shrugged, smiling sheepishly. “Sorry, I hear stuff about him on the…news. People like him piss me off.”I shook my head. “I’m not disputing you. He’s definitely an
Huling Na-update : 2025-05-07Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 53: THAT’S UNUSUAL
KADE’S POVAndrea fucking Carter was everywhere.Even when I didn’t seek her out, there she was. I didn’t know if it was serendipity or some shitty karma for a sin I committed.“Mr. Nightshade,” Minister Robert’s aide called out, surprised when I suddenly stopped in the middle of the foyer.I paid him no mind, though. I couldn’t take my eyes off Andrea. Even when I hated the sight of her, I couldn’t deny that she was the most gorgeous creature I’d ever laid eyes on, and I could stare at her for the rest of my life.She seemed to recover from her shock first and descended the stairs towards me.“What the hell are you doing here?” I hissed, conscious of our environment and the two aides watching us in confusion.Andrea scoffed and folded her arms. “Stalking me is one thing, but feigning ignorance about it is a new low for you, Nightshade.”I scoffed incredulously. “Stalking you? What the hell are you on, woman?”She rolled her eyes and waved a sealed envelope in front of me. “Whatever.

TIANA’S POVA week ago“T, come inside,” my younger sister, Marissa, said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.I shook my head. “A little longer,” I whispered, staring at the freshly filled grave. “Just a little longer.”She sighed and squeezed my shoulder. “For what it’s worth, I’m sorry,” she said softly. “I didn’t like him much, but I know how happy he made you.”“Of course, he made me happy,” I said hoarsely. “He was my mate.” Talking about Beck in the past tense made my skin tighten painfully over my bones.She sighed. “Come in soon.”She left me then and followed the rest of the funeral crowd into the reception hall.Finally alone with Beck’s grave, my legs wobbled, and I crumpled onto the floor. Without the prying, sympathetic eyes on me, my eyes quickly filled with tears that spilled over my cheeks without hindrance.“Baby,” I whispered brokenly, clutching my chest. There was nothing there—no heart beating behind my rib cage. It had stopped beating the moment the bond snapped.
Huling Na-update : 2025-05-07Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 55: TWO PSYCHOPATHS
ANDREA’S POVThe first sensation I felt was a headache that threatened to split my skull into two.I groaned, reaching up to clutch my head—but my hands didn’t budge. I felt resistance around my wrist and the rough bite of something digging into the flesh there as I tried to move again.Slowly, sensation filtered in. I was seated on a wooden chair, and my wrists were tied to its legs.I tried to lift my head, but the pain stabbed through my skull again, and I whimpered as my eyes slowly fluttered open.The light in the room I was in was dim, but it stung my eyes, and blinking hurt like a bitch.“Awwn, you’re up?” I heard a voice say. “Have a nice nap?”I clenched my jaw and forced my head up, biting back a scream as pain rushed through me.Slowly, my eyes adjusted to the light, and I recognized the room I was in. My heart skipped a beat.Was this a sick dream? Had I somehow replaced my children in the hellhole where Beck had kidnapped them?But this didn’t feel like a dream. Yet, it w

ZAYNE’S POV“Hey,” I greeted as I answered Andrea’s call. “Gotten an Uber yet?”A weird sound responded. I frowned and stood up from the couch in the living room. Nora looked up from the TV at me in question.I signaled that I would be back and moved towards the foyer.“Drea?” I called out.I couldn’t hear anything other than that strange sound like…choking?“Andrea!” I called out again, feeling panic rise in my chest. “Andrea, can you hear me?”I heard a soft thud, like the phone had fallen. “Andrea!” I yelled.Then I heard a small shuffle and a feminine voice I didn’t recognize floated through the speaker.“Andrea can’t come to the phone right now, but feel free to leave a message.” There was a manic giggle. “Although I can’t promise she’ll ever receive it.”Dread settled in my stomach. “Who—” The dial tone cut me off.My hands shaking with panic, I dialed Andrea’s number again. An automated voice informed me that the number I was dialing was unreachable.“Fuck!” I roared.Who was t
Huling Na-update : 2025-05-07Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 57: WE’RE GOING HOME
KADE’S POVThe first thing Jaxon noticed was the toxic smell of wolfsbane. Then, his vision narrowed in on the two women in the middle of the room.The sight of Andrea, bloody and tied to a chair, stopped me in my tracks. For a second, it was like I couldn’t comprehend what I was seeing. The fierce, badass Alpha I both lusted after and loathed had no business being in that position.Zayne, on the other hand, was dead serious when he said he wanted to do the killing this time. With no hesitation, his wolf surged forward and slammed against the other woman, sending her flying into the wall with a loud smack.I moved then towards Andrea. The force of Zayne’s shove made her chair tilt backward, and I Shifted just in time to catch it before she went crashing to the floor.“Andrea,” I panted as I righted her chair.She giggled, looking at me with unfocused eyes. “We have got to stop meeting like this.” Her words were a jumbled slur.I swore as I snapped the ropes, tying her wrists and ankle

Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 70: NORA NIGHTSHADE
KADE’S POVMy leg was shaking with pent-up energy as I sat at my desk. My arms were crossed in front of me as I stared at the documents I was supposed to go over, not really seeing anything.The events of the morning still had me agitated, especially the argument with Nora.I argued with my little sister all the time, but this time had been different. Where did she come off defending Andrea when she didn’t know the whole story?I bet Andrea hadn’t told my sister how she killed our child and then turned around and had twins for another man.I had always been reluctant to use it, but now, I was glad I’d used my Alpha aura to trap Nora in the house so she couldn’t go running back to her new friend and get her head filled with lies about me.Another thing that was really pissing me off was the fact that, for the second time in two days, I’d been prevented from cumming. First, Andrea had pushed me off her right in the middle of sex, and Nora had burst in just as I was about to explode in N
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 69: TWO DETECTIVES
MATTEO’S POV“Aunty Nora?”Luca and I peeked into Aunty Nora’s room when she didn’t answer the door. Her bed was a little rough but empty.“Maybe she’s in the bathroom?” Luca suggested, and I shrugged. We entered the room, headed to the bathroom, and knocked on the door. “Aunty Nora?” There was no answer.“Where did she go?”Every morning since she came to live with us, Aunty Nora woke us up with a smile and a hug. She always played with us as she got us ready for the day and then she made us delicious breakfast.Of course, she could never replace Mommy, but we really liked her, and now that she was nowhere to be found, we were worried.“Maybe she just went for a walk?” Luca said. But I could see that my twin didn’t believe that, and neither did I.We both felt connected to Aunty Nora and right now, we felt worried.“Should we wake mommy?” I asked.Luca shook his head. “Mommy has worried too much lately; we shouldn’t stress her.”He was right. Nobody told us anything because they thou
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 68: BROTHELS AND STREET CORNERS
NORA’S POVI wish I could have taken a picture of the guards’ faces when I walked up to the door of my—and the pack’s house. They looked shocked and confused, and I couldn’t blame them.They’d known I was ‘missing’ for days and suddenly, I appeared casually like nothing was wrong.I raised a brow when they didn’t move from the door. “I believe your jobs are to keep me in—which you already failed to do, by the way—not keep me out.”They had the good grace to look ashamed as they stepped aside, letting me into the mansion.This early in the morning, there weren’t any wolves around, and I was glad for it. I wasn’t in the mood for anyone to stare and point at the prodigal sister returning home, especially since I wasn’t planning on staying.I had one goal and one goal only—talk some sense into my brother’s thick skull.I had barely been able to sleep after Andrea confided in me. I wondered how my brother could treat such an amazing woman like he’d treated her.The part that pissed me off
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 67: SIT BACK AND RELAX
NATASHA’S POV“Wait.”I raised a brow, eyeing my dad. “Wait?”He nodded. “Wait.”I scoffed. “You heard Mason; Kade hates her right now. I have to move.”My dad scoffed. “Like your movements so far have yielded any returns.”His words cut deep but I didn’t show a reaction. “That was because he was still obsessed with her.” I stood from the seat in my father’s office, the very one Mason Holland had just vacated.It was lucky that I came downstairs just as he was leaving my father’s office, or I probably would have been kept in the dark about the situation.I’d spent most of the time since Kade called off our engagement in my room, licking my wounds and plotting how to get him back. I was glad he’d agreed not to announce our breakup for another month, which gave me enough time to plan something.I’d been going out of my mind trying to figure something out, and Mason had brought the answer straight to my doorstep. My biggest problem was Andrea fucking Carter, and now that she seemed out o
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 66: SPILL MY GUTS
ANDREA’S POVI was vibrating with anger and indignation as I drove.‘Still want to stay mated to a scumbag like him?’ I asked Emrae.My wolf was silent. Whether she was just as angry as me or it was shame, I didn’t know.Of all the times I’d clashed with Kade Nightshade, I didn’t think I’d been as high-strung as I was right now.In truth, I was a little exhausted from the rush of emotions, and that only served to piss me off more.First, I’d been upset and hurt by his insults in my room, but now? I was furious with a capital F.Kade’s response to the challenge I’d issued rang in my head, and I scoffed. “Suck your dick,” I muttered. “How about I bite it off and wipe that smug fucking smirk off your face.”Instead of apologizing for his awful behavior, he continued pushing and antagonizing me, going so far as to attack my business.Whatever power move Kade thought he was making, all he succeeded in doing was strengthening my resolve. I would never get on my knees for him. I was going to
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 65: DONE PLAYING NICE
MASON’S POVKade was going to kill me.As I groaned, feeling the blinding pain of my arm being pulled out of my socket, I had one thought: What the fuck?I’d sparred with Kade more times than I could remember. He always won.But never like this. He always pulled his punches, his ‘killing blows’ were a mock. Sparring was an exercise, a way to blow off steam.This wasn’t that.Groaning, I pulled out my other hand from beneath me and tapped it against the floor. A sign that I was tapping out—surrendering.Kade didn’t move, leaning his weight heavier on me. I bit back a scream as his knee dug into my spine.I tapped against the floor again, more frantically. “Kade! I fucking surrender!”He leaned forward and growled in my ear. “I should tear out your arm and beat you to death with it.”My eyes widened. This wasn’t Kade. His voice for one, was nothing like my friend of almost thirty years. It was deep, rough, sinister. And the bloodlust in it would have made me shiver if I could move.“Alp
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 64: ANGER AND FURY AND MALEVOLENCE
KADE’S POV“I want absolutely nothing more to do with you.”A stab of anger shot through me.‘Interesting,’ the strange new voice in my head—Fenrath—said.‘Interesting?’‘She doesn’t back down easily. I like a challenge.’ I felt him appraise Andrea—her battle stance, the defiant look in her eyes. A lesser being would be cowering; a lesser being wouldn’t have the guts to be here after what happened in her room.But Andrea Carter was no lesser being.I folded my arms. “You don’t want to do this, Carter.”She bared her teeth at me. “You’re the one who shouldn’t be messing with me, Nightshade.”I chuckled. “Fine. You want a challenge? I accept.”She started to smile, but I continued smoothly. “But when I win, not only will you withdraw from the market,”—I smirked as Fenrath whispered in my ears—“I’ll have you on your knees—sucking my dick.”Andrea’s mouth dropped open, and instantly, the image of shoving my cock between those plump, sexy lips flashed through my mind, and Fenrath purred in
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 63: THAT ACTION ENOUGH?
ANDREA’S POVI moved towards Mason, ready to go toe to toe with Kade’s Beta.“I don’t know who you think you are or what right you have to give me orders about my business,” I growled in his face. “But if you think I’ll lie on my back and take this utter bullshit, you have another thing coming.”Mason scoffed, not looking the least bit affected by my anger. “You would have experience lying on your back.”My eyes widened. “What the fuck did you just say to me?”He raised a brow. “Was my innuendo lost on you? Let me break it down for you.” And then his voice became slow and unnecessarily loud like he was talking to a near-deaf child. “I mean you lay on your back all day, spreading your legs for whoever looks your way. Maybe that’s why your potion turned to shit under your nose.”I heard a snicker behind me, and I turned. The security guard cowered under the venomous glare I fixed on him, and he rushed back into his guardhouse.I turned that look on Mason, but he didn’t even flinch.“Typ
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 62: CEASE AND DESIST
ANDREA’S POVPathetic.The word rang in my ears as I stared at the door long after it had slammed, rattling the frame.I blinked, and the tears I had been desperately fighting back rolled down my cheeks.Furious with myself, I angrily wiped my cheeks, my other hand gripping the blanket covering me tightly.I couldn’t get the look on Kade’s face, the venom in his voice out of my head, and it made more tears fall.I leaned against the headboard, cursing myself for letting his words hit me so hard. I shouldn’t have been surprised; this was Kade Nightshade, for fuck’s sake.But at the same time, it hadn’t felt like Kade. There was something…dark in his gaze, and despite the number of times we’d exchanged scathing insults, his words had never been as harsh, as cutting as they’d been just then.“Aftereffects,” I whispered to myself. “Probably an aftereffect of his sickness.” I had to force myself to believe those words. The alternative was a reality where Kade Nightshade’s words sunk into m
