Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 548

Vince shook his head. “No way.”

Rowan smiled. “She really is that amazing. And I have to thank you for fumbling her not once, but twice.” Rowan rolled his eyes at Brandon. “If it weren’t for your stupidity in choosing Shannon over there, I would have never found my queen. My Goddess-blessed mate.” He pulled his shirt completely off the mate mark. “Everything is in place for her to take over in my stead.”

“You know I will just kill her, right?” Garith smiled.

Rowan threw his head back and laughed so hard he started to cough. Garith’s face grew dark. “You can try.” Rowan held up his hands. “But she is stronger than you think she is.”

Garith smiled. “It’s fine, I can get my son-”

“The one in the caves with Aurora?” Rowan lifted a brow. “Yeah…I don’t think he will be around for long. She’s already dead, and he doesn’t seem like he has a lot of survival skills. If you know what I’m saying.”

Garith’s face paled. “No.”

“I mean, Vince did say she wanted your servers.” Rowan smiled.

Garith pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Pick up.” He turned and shouted to the crowd. “Grab them.”

Everyone converged on the front. A few females wove in between the men as Garith tried to dial again. Lynn grinned. “No answer?”

Garith growled low. “I will kill you if he is hurt.”

Lynn snapped her fangs. “I’m already dead, remember.” She cackled as he dialed one more time.

Finally, the call connected. There were screams in the distance. “Dad?” Garren’s voice rang out of the speaker.

Garith’s hand tightened on the phone. “Garren, what is going on?”

“The caves…the caves are under attack.” There was a howl, and Garren’s voice hardened. “Aurora is dead. A tracker killed her the other day. I was able to get some out, but a lot of the exits were covered by other packs.”

Garith turned to face Rowan, who was smiling. “Did I forget to say that?”

“Garren, listen to me. Leave the rogues. Just get yourself out.”

Verity sighed. “No, your beta is just a dumbass.” Verity kicked at Derek’s hand. Brandon growled, but she rolled her eyes. “His wolf was just as delusional as he was. They had convinced themselves that they weren’t in danger because he didn’t see females as a danger. He could have gotten up at anytime. But he stayed there because he thought he was going to heal. He was stupid.”

Brandon stared down at his best friend’s body. “He could have gotten up?”

Garith chuffed out a chuckle. “It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, boy. He was gone as soon as the second blade went in. After the silver was that close to the heart, it wouldn’t have mattered. He was already dead; his body just had to catch up.” He turned to me and waved me closer. I walked up beside him and held out the toolkit. “Now, back to the important bit.” He grabbed another knife. “You are such a good girl.” I smiled softly.

“Thank you.” I slipped a knife out of this kit as he turned his back to me. I watched as he stepped closer to my mate. “I try my best, Alpha.”

“If only my family members were this useful.” He trailed a knife over Rowan’s face. “Now…I think it’s about time.”

“Well…” I smiled softly. “You’re in luck.” Garith froze for a second.

“What?” He looked at me as the mask I untied fell from my eyes.

“I said you’re in luck…Grandpa.” I turned and slit one of the guards’ throat.
