Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 451

My father had hung up as soon as I was done explaining without saying anything. I looked at my mother who looked as confused as I felt. She pulled the phone back to her and furrowed her brow, and started typing. “What are you doing?” I pulled out my hairdryer and started in on my hair. I watched her out of the corner of my eye as I finished getting ready.

My mom kept typing on her phone and barely glanced up at me. “That was fucking rude.” She started typing again.

“What was?” I bent over to dry the underneath of my hair and all I heard was her clicking at her screen.

“He just hung up.” She tossed out and I snorted.

“You will get used to it.” I flipped back over and shut the dryer off. I grabbed some oil to scrunch out the cast on my hair. My mom looked at me and I laughed. “He does it all the time. He has the attention span of a goldfish. If he has a thought, he needs to deal with it right away or he forgets it.”

My mom stopped typing. “But he wasn’t like this before.”

I finished my hair and turned to look at her. “Probably because he had you to talk to and to remind him. He doesn’t have that anymore.” I did some light makeup as my mom processed my words.

“Fucking hell.” She leaned against the mirror and I saw a look cross her face.

“Stop it.” I snapped at her.

She looked at me with wide eyes. “Stop what?”

I dropped the hand that was holding my eye liner and just looked at her. “Don’t play dumb with me. I know you and that look.” She blinked at me. “My father’s issues with remembering things is not on you. He found a way to work around it. It is not your fault that he has a short attention span. Rude or not, he figured it out. Stop trying to make this somehow your fault because you left.”

She sighed. “But-”

“But nothing.” I went back to my makeup. “Your mate is a little forgetful, but that isn’t on you. Just like everything that happened after you left wasn’t on you. Everyone made choices with the information they had, and at the moment, it was the right decision.” I shrugged. “We can always work with the pack when we get back.”
