Shifted Fate (by Alicia S Rivers) novel Chapter 623

I watched a reflection of myself for a second before l turned back to the scene before us. The redheaded woman begged the Three-Faced Goddess to save her son.

“How is this possible?” My words were a soft whisper as the woman called on the Maiden, Mether and Crone.

“Because time is relative.” The Moon Goddess stepped up next to us. “And two things can be true at once.” Selene looked at Hecate. “Your child?”

Hecate looked away. “Will be born this night. Does our deal stand?”

The Moon Goddess turned to watch the man bleeding out.

“It does.” She turned back to us, and the mourning mother painted herself with blood. “You helped me when I created the Lycans, and when I had my own child. I will help you now.”

Hecate grabbed her arm. “Will it hurt?” Her voice trembled.

Selene turned back and cupped her face. “It will for a moment, and then he will be fine.” She kissed her. “I promise your beloved will be fine.” She rubbed her cheek.” But you have to be prepared.”

“For what?” I asked.

Both turned to me with sad smiles, and both answered. “Because everything comes with a cost.”

The Moon Goddess stepped to the side and then nodded towards the pair on the ground. “It just depends on who will pay the price.”

Both women stepped forward, leaving me behind to witness the scene unfold again. I spent half the time watching the four discuss saving the man, and the other half watching my grandmother and myself. It was a surreal feeling.

After the back and forth, the Moon Goddess changed Kane to the first werewolf, and Hecate thanked her. Then! watched as she crouched and blessed the mother’s line.

Selene joined me first. “Do you understand yet?”

I shook my head. “I’ve seen this all before. You created the first werewolf, and Hecate blessed the mother’s line to become witches. But I don’t understand why she is showing me all this again.”

Selene kissed my brow. “Why do you think she blessed the line?”

“Because she couldn’t save the son. Her lover.” I felt like my brain was molasses.

Selene shook her head. “Watch…and understand.” She waved her hand, and we were back in the cabin. Kane was missing. But Henny, the Maiden was back on the bed giving birth. “Breathe, sister.”The Moon Goddess joined Hecate on the bed. Hecate grabbed her hand. “Where is Kane?” She sounded small and terrified.

Selene leaned over her. “Hunting. It is his first shift, and he is starving.”
