Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 466

Once he was gone, I sat back. I turned to my laptop and opened my conversation with Thoth and my father.

Nixthegoddess: I have the mainframe, the d******d just finished.

Deadmanwalking: That’s amazing! Send it once you get home. I’ll start going through it.

Thoth: Get out of there.

Nixthegoddess: Will do. I’m leaving tonight.

Thoth: Just leave now.

Deadmanwalking: Leave now.

Nixthegoddess: I have something I have to do still.

Deadmanwalking: What?

Thoth: It’s not important. Whatever it is can wait, just leave. Now.

Nixthegoddess: You both know I can’t do that. Vince was draining all the pups. I can’t leave them to die. I need to remove the curse.

Thoth: Fine. Do it and then leave.

Deadmanwalking: Wait!

Nixthegoddess: What?

Deadmanwalking: Vince will know as soon as you remove the first curse. Then he will start searching for everyone. He will be able to move faster than you and you will be fucked. The removal of any curse is hard on the caster, removing them, and you are already hurt.

Nixthegoddess: I can’t leave the kids to die.

Deadmanwalking: I’m not saying that either. You extended the time before, right?

Nixthegoddess: Yeah by a week.

Deadmanwalking: When is the mating ceremony?

Nixthegoddess: It’s been cancelled. Obviously.

Deadmanwalking: I don’t think so baby…My source close to Brandon said he’s agreed to mate Shannon, but Vince is against it. As far as I can see it, Vince will either cave and allow the mating ceremony to go ahead, or…

Nixthegoddess: Or what?

Deadmanwalking: He has a stand in a mate for Brandon.

I sat back in my chair and thought about it for a minute. It’s possible. Who else would be dumb enough to want to mate with Brandon? Vince wouldn’t settle for a random or unranked wolf, so there was very little chance that Shannon will get the ending she was so invested in.

Nixthegoddess: Who could be that dumb?

Thoth: Vince wouldn’t settle for just a random wolf, but with his position, and how Brandon just insulted you, he would be low on options.

I nodded. Thoth was right. Low options. Alpha, beta, or gamma female, that would also be out of options. I had an idea, but it was almost too ridiculous. There was no way I was right, but it would be amazing if I was.

He growled, but I shook my head. Stupid men. “Why are you here?”

“I’m finishing my tasks before I transfer out.”

He froze. “What?”

I sighed as I sent all the open IT tasks back to the alerting system and then I deactivated my account. I pursed my lips. “What do you mean what?”

His eyes glared back at me. “What do you mean, you are transferring out?”

I shut down my computer before I turned slowly to empty my desk. “Exactly what I said, Brandon. I am transferring out to my father’s pack.”

He threw his head back. “He’s dead.”

“And?” That stopped him.

“How are you transferring to a pack that no longer exists?”

I sighed, and I felt my eyebrows raise a little. “I don’t believe you to be stupid, Brandon. What could be the reason I would tr5ansfer back to a dead pack that I have the rights to?”

He thought for a second, and I watched the understanding explode behind his eyes. “You are going back to rebuild.”

“Ding ding, ding. We have a winner.” I zipped up my bag and I pushed on the desk to help me stand, my ribs screaming.

Brandon’s voice turned whiny. “But our mating ceremony is in a week.”
