Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Novels & Stories

The rain dripped off the edge of her umbrella, intentionally funneled onto Nathan's legs, soaking him to the bone. Nathan felt a chill that transcended the physical. He was a joke—a scavenger begging for scraps at the table he used to own. "Do you need something from me?" Thea asked, her voice as innocent as a trap. Nathan looked at her, his voice trembling. "Thea... if I told you that I regret it... that I regret losing the only woman who loved me to my core... would you still be willing to let me back into your life? Would you forgive your Alpha?"

Only when the heavy doors of the mansion closed behind her did I face my deltas again. “He is not your enemy,” I said, voice iron. Felix growled. “But he turned on us, Alpha. The moment Varen’s hand reached out, he took it. Who’s to say he won’t do it again?” “He doesn’t deserve our ranks,” Juno snapped.

Kade stepped to my side. “You didn’t need that closure,” he said quietly. “But you took it anyway.” I nodded. “And I didn’t shift. I didn’t let my wolf take control.” “You didn’t need to,” he murmured. “You’re already more alpha than most of them.” Behind us, the lead Elder raised his staff. “The third trial is complete.” I didn’t look at Aaron again as they led him away. Because for the first time in my life, the past wasn’t chasing me anymore.

“No… no, you told me we had time. You promised—” “I did not promise,” the healer corrected gently. “I gave you what the spirits revealed. But fate is something you can not be certain of.” “What— “The curse grows stronger by the day. The Alpha grows weaker. The date for your sacrifice must be moved closer.” My breath hitched, the world tilting around me. “Closer? How much closer?” “As soon as possible.” The finality in his tone shattered what little strength I had left. A sob tore from my chest, and I buried my face in my palms.

“His mate died four years ago. He needs a surrogate. His pack is growing restless. He's strong, but…. He needs an heir. You'll give him a child to restore his bloodline. My stomach twisted. “Alpha, I can't” I say to him, trembling. Scared but determined. “You are being given an opportunity” the alpha said. “Protection, food and even a position. You have no family, no claim, Archer has rejected the bond. What are you still fighting for?” My breath caught. “ This isn't a request, is it?” “You leave at dawn.” He turned his back to me signalling the end of the conversation. I left without a word. My fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles turned white.

It started with a crack or slash of thunder, and in one blink I saw my father with a woman under the light of the moon. I gasped for breath. Panting, I tried to reach the center table so I could break it. I punched it and it immediately scattered into pieces. I got a glass before I shifted fully. I slashed my arm with the piece of glass, and quickly, my shifting stopped. I groaned and whimpered in pain. I stared at the deep cut on my arm. I harshly threw down the glass and cursed. "Bullsh*t!" I leaned my head on the seat of the couch to rest. What the hell is happening to me? Right. I’m an alpha. And I’m not destined to be one for a dumb fvckin' reason.

Asher returns with our plate, pulling me from my sweet memory. “I miss doing this,” I motion with my fork toward the kids who are now packing their things up and strolling out of the room. He throws his head back and laughs. “The best years of our life,” I hum and take another bite, nodding. “Definitely the best.” “You should call him and tell him you agree. I’ll be fine and you can negotiate the terms.” I groan loudly when he starts again but he raises a hand up when I try to interrupt. “You’re just staying there a month, do you think that is enough to get the alpha who is nicknamed the cold alpha to name you his luna and try for an heir?” he doesn’t wait for me to answer. “It’ll be a win-w

I said to her while watching her smile shyly. Nightfall at Starfall pack… Bella's POV Flashback… 18 years ago On the night of the Lunar crossing, fate played its hand, and I had a chance encounter with Robert, a trader from a different pack. That encounter led to a one-night stand, which resulted in my subsequent pregnancy. However, my charisma and boldness caught the attention of the Alpha King whom i had loved so dearly during a charity event, leading to another passionate encounter.

“What did you expect me to do? I can’t fight the Alpha, he lost control. I saw him fighting with Amir not to shift! He was in pain and he was in confusion. What would I have done? And it’s not the first time he is going into a rut, we just need to find him so he doesn’t hurt somebody.” “I don’t understand you,” She shakes her head, taking another step back as if she doesn’t recognize me, “I trust my brother to come back when it is over and please pray you don’t have anything to do with his sudden rut. Auden, everybody knows the Alpha had gone into rut, they could feel his turmoil and unrest. Words are traveling fast, everybody knows.” “I don’t know what happened either,” My voice cracked for
