Shifted Fate (by Alicia S Rivers) novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615

There was a pounding at the door, and I groaned. I rolled over in the darkness and realized I only had a few hours of steep. Three at most. “What is that?” Rowan’s voice was a horse yell.

I chuckled as I dragged myself out of bed. I had enough forethought to grab my robe before I trudged over to the door. I turned back as Rowan was about to move, and I barked at him to get back into the bed. “Stay put. No one else gets to see you naked.” I pointed a finger at him.

He laughed as he settled back into the bed with the blanket pulled over his lap. “We are wolves love. Everyone is naked.”

I snorted. “Nice try, Lycan, you shift without taking off your clothes. No one gets to see you naked. Understood?” Rowan grinned and nodded once before I turned back to the door. I opened it as the person knocked again. “What’s wrong? Dad?” I pulled the door completely open. “Why are you here so early? I figured you’d be busy with Mom?” The man had the decency to

blush as he shook his head.

“I mean, I was, but we have a situation, and I figured you and Rowan wanted to be there.”

Rowan perked up at that. “What’s wrong?” I heard him shift and knew he was about to get up. I turned as he shifted again and pointed back to the bed with a growl. He snorted. “He’s a man…and your father!” The disbelief in his voice was filled with exasperated amusement.

“Well, you should have thought about it before you flashed the Omega. Now you have to deal with two very territorial wolves. Congrats.” I smirked before turning back to my father. His smile made me point at his face. “Shut it.” He held up his hands.” Now what is going on?”

My dad snorted, but it disappeared quickly. “Theo wants to talk.”

I felt my eyebrows furrow. “About what?”

My dad shrugged. “I don’t know, but IO figured you would want to be there.”

I nodded. “We both would. Give us a minute to get dressed, and we can head down together. Plus, it will give me a second to gather what I need.”

“What do you need?” My father gripped the door as I tried to shut it. “For what?”

“For the spells.” I looked at him, and I saw the pain in his eyes. “I know you don’t agree with me. But the Goddess has tasked me with this. And I will use everything at my disposal to save us.” His hand dropped from the door.

“But…magic shouldn’t be used for darkness.”

I smiled up at him and his almost childlike outlook. “Darkness is relative.” I grabbed his hand. “You will torture and kill someone who betrays the pack, right?”

He nodded. “Of course. When they go against the pack, it is up to the Alpha to protect everyone. You know this.”

“I do. I did it for you. And I would do it again to save the pack.” I shook his hand. “This is the same thing, just on a larger scale. I’m the Queen Luna, and I will do anything, give anything, to protect our kind. Even if it costs me my soul…or my life.”

My father stared at me for a moment. “I remember you as my little girl, still running around with pigtails, and chasing after Loki.” He closed his eyes for a second, and I was surprised to see a tear trembling on his lashes. “When did you grow up into this amazingly strong woman?” He took a shaky breath and cleared his throat. “You don’t need me anymore, and I don’t know how to feel about it.”

is right. But

I laughed and poked him. “I grew up because I had to. I am who I am because you and Mom raised me to know you are wrong.” He lifted his gaze to meet mine. “I will always need my dad.” I pulled him down so I could kiss his cheek and then I pushed him away. “Give us a minute and we will be out.”

He nodded. “Mindlink an Omega to grab everything you need, and they can meet us downstairs.”

I shut the door, and Rowan got up from the bed, walking to the closet, and I had to stifle a groan. Nix snorted. Our mate is perfect, but you have more important things to do instead of staring at his ass.

Megan chuffed. I can’t blame her. I stare at Erubus too.
