All Chapters of Shifted Fate: Chapter 431 - Chapter 440

My mom found me in front of my computer hours later. “Baby?” I don’t even remember how the call ended, just that it did pretty quickly after my father dropped the bomb that shattered me. “Babe?” The black screen of the computer was taunting me. The screen was calm, still and silent, but my insides were going insane. I wish my father had kept his mouth shut.Why? Nix’s voice was soft, but confused.You have kept your scent hidden and so has he…I closed my eyes as I thought back to all the times he said I smelled wrong. How he never smelled like anything. He explained it. I’m sure he had. What the hell was going on? How do I keep forgetting things about him? About myself? How had I forgotten to tell my father about the rogues?“Baby!” My mother grabbed me by my shoulders, jolting me from my turbulent thoughts. I felt like I was swimming underwater with everything. She watched me with wide eyes. “Baby, are you okay? What are you doing?” She looked at the black screen and her brows furro

I shook my head, but then waved my hands. “It’s impossible though.” I forced a laugh. “I’m not a queen…” I looked away from her. “And we must have scented each other properly at least once. Like you said, I probably just forgot.”“Well, what did Rowan say whenever he scented you?” She looked at her hand. “When he smelled you and assumed your scent was real?”“He always said that I smelled wrong. Same with Erubus when ever he scented Nix.”My mom sucked in a breath through her teeth. “I want to lie to you to make yourself feel better, but if he thought your scent was wrong, or if you never smelled like his mate, he would have never released his scent to you, baby.”I watched her for a minute. “So you’re saying we don’t actually know if we are mates or not?” She shook her head slowly. “You are saying there is a tiny fucking chance that I am mated to Rowan? Who’s engaged to a witch?”“Amy!” my mom admonished me, but I waved my hands.“I’m not calling her a name mom, she’s an actual witch

Her words caught me by surprise. Not because they were true, but because she felt they were. “Oh, baby.” I cupped her face. “Just because you are a shaman, and you see more than you should, doesn’t mean I have to add any more on to ruin your childhood. You are a kid, and I want you to stay that way until you are older.”She pouted. “But why?”I crouched down so I could be level with her. “Being old isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. We have bills and responsibilities. But most of all, we worry. We worry about what going to happen, what our actions will do, and what we can’t help. That’s not fun.” I tugged on her pigtails. “I want you to be a kid. When all of this is over, you are going to be going to school with the other kids. You will get to play, and just grow up at your own pace. Don’t rush it, okay?”She watched me for a minute and then nodded. “Okay.”I smiled and kissed her head. “Good.” I stood up and walked out of the room. Carly caught up to me and slipped her tiny hand into

“Hello Nina.” I grinned as I faced her fully. “So rude to charge in here and demand why I am here.” I tilted my head. “Why are you here?”She snarled. “I go here.”I felt my grin turn a little predatory. “That’s right, you didn’t graduate yet.” She growled again, but I shrugged. “I get it, hard course and all.” I tilted my head. “But why are you here?” She snapped her teeth at me and I felt my eyes flash. “I might not come here anymore, but I will give you a bit of grace and tell you to remember who you’re snapping at.”She seemed to talk a minute to hear my words before she snapped her mouth shut again. I watched her anger simmer behind her eyes, but she just nodded, more to herself than me. “I don’t need to answer you.”“That is true.” I walked closer to her. “You don’t need to speak with me.”“But you have to explain yourself to me.” Sterling’s voice was glacial. “Now, since you won’t answer Alpha Amy’s question, I’m going to demand you answer mine. Why are you here Alpha Nina?”Sh

“What the fuck…” I felt like my world was crashing down on me. My head was full of his words and I was confused to how we even got here. I turned to face Sterling, and he was clearly avoiding my gaze. “Sterling.”He looked over at me finally, and I could see the truth behind his eyes. “Yeah?”“Have you read any of these?” I dropped the letter into the box. My gaze fell back to the box between my feet and I counted over fifty letters…maybe more. “How long has he been sending these?”Sterling closed his eyes for a second, like he was trying to come up with an answer that wouldn’t break me. His hand tightened on the steering wheel. “No, like I said, I haven’t read anything that was sent to you.” He swallowed. “They were meant for your eyes only, and even if we couldn’t give them to you, we were going to invade your and Rowan’s privacy.”I felt my eyes tighten. “But?”He sighed. “But I saw him whenever he dropped off the letters. He was becoming more and more desperate for you to answer.”
