Shifted Fate Novels & Stories

“Before you decide fate is against you, try shifting without fear.” The idea sank into me, cool and unfamiliar. Shift without fear. The thought alone made my stomach twist. Shifting had always been tied to pain, to something foreign and uncontrollable. But what if it didn’t have to be? I looked around. Callum, Asher, Malcolm—they were all occupied, too focused on the war ahead to see the war raging inside me. It would be selfish to pull them away, to ask them to hold my hand through something I should face alone.

One way or another, I will rescue this young man. “Well, it was shortly after my sixteenth birthday, three months actually, when during an emergency situation I randomly shifted. It was my first shift and it was the second most painful thing I had experienced up to that point in time in my life. Unlike my twin Chloe or my other siblings, there was no celebration. No medication to ease the pain of the first shift. No encouraging or consoling words before or after, it was just me, leaping out of the window of my father’s second story office. I shifted in midair before crashing into the bushes.

She tells me and I look at her in confusion. “Come again, Fate is in Hell?” I ask her and she nods her head. “Yup, we went to war with her many years ago. Long before you were born. She tried to force a bond with Fenrir. It caused damage to other bonds, creatures that shouldn’t have been fated where. That is why Gaia brought the shifters out of the shadows. It is also why Fenrir tried to kill Gaia when she was a baby, for her power, her darkness. Fate got to him and unleashed the Harbinger, waging war on his family. Fate convinced him that he had to syphon the power from Gaia, but Selene and Lycaon took the babies to a place where Fenrir will never find them. I was there. I fought Fenrir and

Kazeal said, taking a deep breath. “I can try,” I said. Kazeal nodded wearily. “Hey,” I gained his attention. “Hmm?” “People often like to represent the shackles of fate by a red string. But I used to believe the same, but not anymore. We are all bound by thorny vines of fate and it appears like a red string to the eyes because the vines are smeared with our blood. It’s ok to feel lost. I feel exactly the same right now. But none of this is our fault. I know you want to stop this war and I know why you don’t want me to get involved, but Kazeal, can we fight fate? Can we ever execute our plans the way we imagined?”

It was coming from the sky. The moon suddenly turned a deep, blood-red. “Faith….” Leo called out from the balcony, his voice full of terror. “The Lunar Grid. Someone just activated the override. Every shifter in the world is being forced to shift... and they can't stop.” Faith looked at Killian. His eyes were already turning gold against his will. His muscles were bulging, his bones beginning to snap and reform. “The King,” Faith whispered. “It was his final trap.” The Great Shift had begun, and Faith was the only one left standing on two legs.

I have to give it to this man to own his mistakes and be brave enough to face me regardless of what my reaction is. “Lana is my Fated Mate,” my answer seemed simple but for them, it was not. Because we have our traditions. Shifters are for shifters, and it doesn’t matter if you are half-shifter, half-human, or half-shift, half-mage. As long as you’re a shifter then it’s fine. For our pack, having a pure mage and a pure Alpha is the first. And to hear that they were Fated was definitely mind-blowing but at the same time, easier to accept.

The alpha's grinned widened, "precisely." "That's impossible. Fate gives you one person you're mated to. Or destined to be with. This can't happen. " The alpha shrugged again, a gold coin spinning easily between his knuckles. "Fate fucked up."

I intercepted it as well, and we battled together. Elena stood there in awe, observing everything going on. She said nothing, nor try to run away. The fight was finally over after about some minutes. The moment she saw me shifting, time halted for me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it from happening. Her eyes went round as I shifted back to my human form. She twisted, so she wouldn't see me naked, and I threw on the shirt that I had dropped on the floor. Though I have control over my shifting, I was far too angry with myself to control myself from it tonight.

It's possibly grown out. 'I'll link you if it has. Just try not to shift.' 'Okay,' I breathe, but as I say it, I feel Zanthe's agitation rise. 'I'm not sure that's going to be that easy, Z. The urge to shift and take over is increasing by the minute. Whatever they injected us with is riding me hard.' Oh, fucking fantastic.

As a matter of fact, being with her felt comfortable and grounding. On the night of my official enrollment, Mom called. She told me that Maya had died. The court case was about to start, but Wayne couldn’t resist gambling one last time and lost badly. Unable to pay the debt, he secretly handed Maya over to loan sharks, and she didn’t make it. After hanging up, I let out a sigh. Beside me, Jane asked curiously, “What’s wrong?” I turned to her, smiling. “It’s nothing important. “I heard you’re still single. Do you think I might have a chance?”
