Lahat ng Kabanata ng Shifted Fate: Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

There was a silence that descended over the table while we finished our meal. We all we a little shell-shocked about everything. Then Wendy turned to me and leaned in. “You have the king’s phone number?”Her comment broke the silence, and we all laughed. I waved my hands in the air. “It’s nothing. All alphas get his number.”Toya cut a look at me from the corner of her eyes. “I don’t have his number.”I nodded. “Your father does.” She nodded. “I got his number because during the summer there was an emergency that I needed to request permission from the council to protect my pack, and my father was out of commission. My father’s beta gave me the number, and the King told me to keep it.” I shrugged it off. “I figured, after what I said, I would rather he heard it from myself, that Nina. There is no telling how she would have twisted it.”Everyone nodded and Th

I didn’t realize that everyone was staring at me until I disconnected the call. I turned back to everyone and just huffed out a breath. “Keep checking everyone in.”“It’s too late.” Wendy was almost in tears.“No. This king will handle it.” I was certain of that. “Are you sure?” Hanna grabbed my hand and I nodded.“I am.” So we all turned back and kept checking people in. “Alpha Amy?” Someone we checked in called back to us. “Yes.”“The doors are locked.” Everyone froze and then one girl started to sob. “Please. Everyone.” I raised my hands, waving the tablet in my hand. “I swear to you that you will not be expelled.”“You can’t promise that.” Someone called out, and the room erupted in to crying. “Listen.” I raised my hands. “There is ver

I winked as I face him, and I watched his mouth turn up on one side. I dropped to my knees quickly and bowed. “I’m sorry, my king, but it is the only way the other she-wolves leave me alone. They all seem to think that because you were my teacher for a few classes that you favor me, and they are jealous.”Rowan rubbed his face, hiding the smirk that graced his lips. “Get up. I will address the students later, but Vince, we need to talk.” I got to my feet and bowed again. “Then I will take my leave.” I turned to leave, but Rowan grabbed my arm. “We will speak about this later, alone.” I nodded my head. “Of course, my king.” I felt him tremble as I said those words, then he let me go and I walked into the auditorium. I turned behind the door and hid in the shadows to listen to the conversation between Rowan and Vince.“Tell me the truth Vincent, you colluded with the council to expel over a hundred and fifty unranked wolves from the school my father created.” Rowan growled deeply. “

I made my voice quiver, and I did my best to pretend to be scared. “Please Alpha, I know you were just following orders. Tell the truth, I don’t want you to die.”Vince sighed in relief, and Rowan nearly lost it. His eyes showed the smile he was desperately trying to hide. “Well Alpha Vince?” Rowan stepped closer to the other man and he towered over Vince. “Alpha Rowan-”“King Rowan.” Someone that sounded a lot like Nina called out, earning a smile from the king.Vince stammered and then corrected himself. “King Rowan. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.”“Explain.” Rowan pulled up a chair from where they were off to the side of the podium. He positioned it facing Vince and then sat, crossing his arms. “What?” Vince froze.“Explain. You said you were trapped between a rock and a hard place. I want you to explain it to me.”Vince’s mouth dropped open, and the three men started to fidget. Rowan raised a hand and motioned for Vince to start his explanation. “What? I mean, obvio

“Now to get back to you questions. Yes, there was an attack that injured someone here. She nearly died, but thankfully her wolf was strong enough to heal the damage. Even though the doctors thought she wouldn’t make it. Next, if the wolf wants it to be made public, I will say her name, but I will wait for her permission.” He glanced my way, but Nina stood. “You can tell my story.” Her voice was soft, but I could tell she was proud. “Nina.” Rowan started, but then a council member stepped up and smiled. “Nina’s attack was harrowing.” He started. “She was a little girl when a rogue attacked her and her father.” The crowd gasped, but I watched Rowan grind his teeth. “We were all worried she wouldn’t wake up, but thankfully, her juvenile wolf was strong enough to heal the damage to her head.” There were a few claps, and I had to lift my fingers to my lips. This was Ninas big attack. Rowan turned to me and I gave a tiny nod. I would have kept quiet, but this was getting ridiculous. “
