Shifted Fate (by Alicia S Rivers) novel Chapter 651

Everyone turned to Carly to see her eyes glassy white. “Oracle.” Hecate bowed her head.

“Mother.” Carly’s tiny face smiled. “It has been a long time.”

Hecate nodded as her lips turned up. “How has Selene been treating you?”

Carly grinned. “You saved me a lot of pain taking me from Apollo.” She bowed her tiny body. “I never got to thank you properly.” She sat back up and turned to me. “But I think now I can.”

“What do you mean?” I focused on my pup, but I felt nothing. All my love was dead along with my mate. The guilt hit after my realization. Carly deserved better than what I could give her.

She tilted her head. “You are feeling guilty. But you don’t need to. You are stronger than you feel at this moment. Even if your mate stayed with the goddess, you would still do right by this pup.” She nodded to me. “You still have a lot of love; you just don’t feel it right now.” She turned back to the gods. “We still might be able to save the King.”

Selene dropped to her knees. “Shaman, are you sure?”

Carly nodded. “You have dominion over the wolf souls, and death.” She waited for Selene to nod. “You could bring back his soul.” Selene nodded again.

I gasped, but the Goddess turned to me. “I could bring his soul back, and while I have some ability, I cann’t bring him back to life. Erubus’s soul would just be trapped in the body.”

I gasped and shook my head. “No.” I turned to Carly. “He doesn’t deserve that kind of afterlife.”

Carly smiled. “Nor would I ask that of him. Or you.” She turned to Gaia. “Call Hades.”

Gaia frowned. “Why would you call him?”

“Because Selene has domain over the soul of the wolf. But Hades has domain over human souls and their bodies.” She turned to me. “You have to convince him to help you.”

I felt my mouth fall open. “I don’t know what I could give him to get him to agree.”
