Shifted Fate (by Alicia S Rivers) novel Chapter 637

The room was silent except for the ticking of the clock. I felt a tug in my chest, pulling me outside to the pack house. The first one was gentler, but this one made me gasp. I needed to get down there. Soon.

Then, a timer went off, scaring both of us and making us jump. “What do you mean I called down lightning?” My brain couldn’t wrap around that little tidbit.

I felt a new fear bubble up. “Tell no one.”

He stared at me for a few seconds. “Of course.” He bowed again.

I needed to tell Rowan myself, but something was tugging at me again. “So you said lightning.” I pushed the pup to the back of my mind; we would have a ton of time to talk about our son.

The doctor smiled. “That I will leave up to your mother to explain.” He grabbed the cart and started out of the room. I said my goodbyes and finally followed the tug in my chest.

As soon as I stepped out of the pack hospital, I was swarmed by wolves. “Thank you, Queen Luna.” They all bowed, some even dropping to the ground.
