Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 652

My head whipped around, and my eyes fell on Lynn. She shuffled towards me, pushing past everyone else, and dropped down next to me. “I have only my soul, and my wolf.” She refused to meet my eyes. She was fully focused on Hades. “Is that a fair enough trade?”

“Lynn.” I reached out to her. “Why?”

She turned to me to hush me. Hades smirked. “Are you both willing?” He tilted his head. “I need to hear it from both of you.”

Lynn nodded. “I, Lynn Wetherstone, agree to the trade.” Megan whined, and it slipped from my lips.

Why is she giving up her life? Megan hovered at the edge of the trees, torn. I knew Nix, and she was feeding power to the tether, trying to keep it alive, but they were losing.

I don’t know. I answered my wolf inside my head.

Lynn’s eyes shifted to a burning copper, and her eyes turned to me. “I, Kona, agree to the trade.”

Another whimper broke free. “Kona…why?”

She smiled. “Lynn won’t say it, but I will.” Kona turned to me and grabbed my free hand. “Because she is broken. We are both broken. In a fundamental way that we are both sure will never fully heal.” Her eyes dimmed, and she allowed me to see inside her. All the pain, the hollowness that she had been hiding. My hand tightened in hers. “We could go on. We could try to live without that fundamental piece of ourselves. Or…” She leaned in to me and kissed my cheek. “We can do this.”

I watched her eyes change back to Lynn’s. “You said you were getting better.” I managed to get out. My heart broke even more. I cupped her face. “This is my fault. I should have saved you sooner.”

She shook her head as she smiled. “You did everything you could for me, Amy.” She leaned into my hand. “You gave me space when I needed it, a safe space to process everything. And you listened.” She closed her eyes. “But more importantly…” She sighed. “You gave me my revenge.” Her eyes snapped open. “I’ve done everything I needed to do. Let me do this for you.”

“I don’t want to lose you either.” I shook my head as I leaned my forehead against hers.

“You have to lose someone. You heard the man.” Hades chuckled softly. “A soul for a soul. My soul for Rowan’s and Kona’s for Erubus’s.” She turned to Selene. “Would that be a fair trade?” I felt hope bubble up, but I pushed it away. Either way I looked at this, I was losing someone I loved.
