Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 477

Rick and Shelly both froze. I slid myself into a chair, knowing that the night was far from over, but I needed a minute. My throat was burning from Rick’s hands, but I couldn’t spare a drop of magic to heal myself. Everything I had was going to be needed.

Shelly and Rick launched themselves at Abby. Tears streaming down their faces. “Baby?” Shelly’s hands trembled on her face. “Is this real?” She leaned in and pressed her lips against Abby’s forehead. “Are you real?”

Abby giggled. “Yes, momma. I’m real.” She looked over at me. “Thank you for saving me.”

I smiled. “Of course.” I winked. “I told you I would.”

Shelly and Rick looked at each other, then over at me. I watched their faces go through a ton of emotions, but both settled on embarrassment. Rick pushed up from the table and turned to face me fully. “Amy…” He dropped to his knees beside me, and I watched the man crumple. “I don’t think I’m sorry would even touch what I just did to you.”

I watched him for a second before I reached out to pat his shoulder. “It’s okay.”

He shook his head, and Shelly dropped to her knees next to him. “No.” Her voice was full of tears. “No, it’s not. We attacked you. We screamed at you. We did so much except trust you.” She looked up and met my gaze. Tears streamed down her face. “We should have trusted you.”

I nodded. “You should have.” I grabbed both of their hands. “But I understood why you didn’t. I couldn’t tell you because your tears are the catalyst of the spell. I would have down a lot worse because of my pup. I am doing a lot worse. I don’t hold it against you.”

Shelly broke down into sobs then. “Why not? We deserve it and worse.”

Rick nodded. “This is all my fault. The curse, the kids, your friend… Oh goddess, your friend.”

I shifted to Megan. “Is completely fine.”

He reeled back. “She was you…”

I shifted back and sighed. “Yeah. It was me.” I waved him off. “But I got more information than I had in the few months in the office.” I smirked as I turned to Abby. “Down you come.” She held up her arms, and I grabbed her. “You did so good, sweetheart.”

“Am I really healed?” Her voice was full of hope.
