Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Novels & Stories

he divulged, I heaved a deep sigh. “Who are you? Where are you from?” “Jeremiah is the one and true Alpha, no one can take that away from us. It’s our fate and our destiny to make sure he sits on that throne. We’re coming, this is just the tip of what’s to come, we’re not running. It’s called regrouping, you’ll be dead when we return” I held his throat, growling in anger as I dug my claws into his stomach, making a huge hole as I watched his lungs and intestines, leave his body. I couldn’t allow him to finish his words, his words pissed me off and he doesn’t deserve to leave.

His words from back then replay in my mind… ‘I won’t die. You made that clear the moment you hesitated… why did you hesitate?... Was it because of Kataleya? No! … I thought we were having a conversation. Future Alpha to future Alpha… Alpha? I’m not worthy of being Alpha anymore… You’re right, but it’s not your missing hand that is at fault. It’s your attitude. You better fix how you think and become a better person, or I will never allow it to happen... Allow what? Fate.’ What had he meant by fate? My gaze flicks to Kataleya, who is hugging her father, crying softly before I look at the man who stands silently in front of me.

The alpha is too strong, and I’ve been bested. Two other men suddenly appear in the space, and Alpha Aleksandr releases me while the three of them corner me, preventing any chance of escape. The alpha commands me to shift and I’m surprised that his command still affects me, even as a rogue, but I’m able to resist. He commands me again, and this time he’s put his full strength behind it, and I’m unable to resist. My body begins to shift without my permission, and my mind races with the possibilities of what will happen next. Will he be angry? Will he be surprised? Will he be happy to see me, alive and well, or will he even recognize me?

I stared at my reflection like I was searching for answers I already knew. I didn’t love Nerissa. Not the way I was supposed to. Not the way I tried to convince myself I did. Not the way I used to. And it was earth shattering. Call me a bastard for not feeling more grief or sadness over the lost fetus. Mentally I never believed she was pregnant. So for me the biggest turning point is my wolf's sudden change. Still, I got dressed. Still, I made my way down those stairs. Because that’s what an alpha does—he keeps his house in order. He doesn’t dwell on old wounds or ghosts of failed marriages. He doesn’t let grief rule him.

"... the Alpha position must return to my bloodline." *

The silence was oppressive, with unspoken threats and ongoing fury. Finally, the Alpha shifted back into his human form, bloody and panting. His face was rough, the lines of his features hardened by battle. His voice was rough, but controlled. “You’ll see. Fate doesn’t bend. It breaks,” he stated warningly. Then, with one final, burning glance, he turned and strode from the gates, leaving an icy silence behind. I collapsed against Nisi, who had shifted back and was already trembling with adrenaline, my breath ragged.

"But Shikta... she is the Alpha's fated mate. If anything happens to her—" "The Alpha is stronger than a mere mate bond!" I snapped, gripping her arm tightly enough to make her wince. My voice dropped to a hiss. Zendaya flinched, her eyes wide with fear. "But... fated mates are different. What if—" "I don't care what you think about fated mates!" I growled, releasing her arm abruptly. "Fate won't protect her when she's weak, sick, and dying slowly. She's just a girl, cursed or not. And once she's gone, the Alpha will forget her. He always does."

“I… I thought that since I was the future Alpha, I could do whatever I wanted and that everyone would just fall in love but… she rejected me. She’d rather raise our child alone than have a father like me… and how could I blame her? I… thank you, Charlotte.” He gave me a sad but determined look. “A future Alpha has to protect those under him. I may have lost Jessica but I can still try to be a better Alpha… a better man. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to see my child but if I don’t… I only have myself to blame. But I will do my best to be someone worthy of the title of Alpha, someone like you, Charlotte. I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you.” I smiled, actually a little happy to see he’

As the door closed on the lingering silhouette of our secret exchange, a new realm of contemplation unfurled before me. “Alpha Haden,” I whispered faintly, an ode to the uncharted pathways that intertwined my fate with his. The tangled threads of fate that bound me to him prompted a chaotic series of questions. “Why did the Moon Goddess choose Alpha Haden as my mate?” I pondered, my voice tinted with a subtle shade of rage as I manoeuvred amidst the bars forged by circumstance. As the seconds ebbed away, a potential shift in my plans emerged, surging through the war-torn landscape of my emotions.

Somewhere beyond the shadows, Selene stirred in her magical chains, her lips curling into a faint, venomous smile. “This isn’t over,” she murmured, her voice barely audible. “Not until she’s gone.” The night deepened, heavy with fate and the scent of coming war. The Alpha’s heart burned with love reborn—and the curse he’d spent years denying now pulsed alive, binding him and Aria tighter than any spell ever could. The wolf had chosen. And the world would burn before it was denied again.
