Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 161 The words hung the air .

One of the girls at the table whispered , I cant believe she called him and said it directly to him .

Another scoffed .

She is against her ? hart .

Would you rather Nina had that in her back pocket , willing to warp it and use i Rowans voice was holding back a laugh , and he cleared his voice .

Let me get this right .

You called me , your king , to tell me that you said that if I punished you for not bowing down to my nonexistent weak mate , that you would what rebel ? No.

Not rebel .

Just not respect or follow you lead .

He snorted out a laugh .

Amy , why are you wasting my time ? While I can appreciate your busy schedule .

I figured it was a smart move to explain the situation directly to you , so that in the future , no one could use my words against me to you .

I crouched down in front of Nina again .

Plus , I respect you enough to say my feelings to your face .

Or on a call .

He snorted , and then I could hear him clear his voice again .

Thank you , Alpha Amy , for explaining the situation .

But I agree with your assessment of the situation .

Any alpha that commands or demands respect for himself or his mate is a weak ruler .

If you cant earn your respect , then you dont get the respect .

End of story .

I heard a voice in the background .

You cant mean that , Alpha .

What if the mate we selected for you is weak ? Then I wish you the best of luck trying to convince my wolf to accept the girl .

As I said , Gerald , I will not go against my wolf in this .

Find me a mate that he agrees to , or I will stay unmated until my goddess given mate shows up , as expected for a king .

The words seem to deflate Nina .

But you need an heir .

The words sounded if someone was scolding Rowan and Nix did not like it .

She took control faster than I could hold her .

Am I on speaker King ? There was a pause and Rowans voice sounded further away You are now , but who are you ? He was a smart man .

I am Amys wolf .

Nix pushed .

I could not sit idle when I heard the man scold you , I heard a snort and then a hesitant voice came from the other call .

Excuse me ? I do not know who you are , but I will say this once .

You speak to your king with respect and the reverence he deserves or I will track you down and ensure you know the error of your ways .

There was a quick inhale , and Rowan cleared his throat .

We just spoke of respect is earned by the wolf .

We did .

Nix answered back .

But there is a line .

I can only assume this wolf is in the council , the one that was in place by your father .

And that he expects you to turn to him for his ideas and council , and he has let that get to his head .

There was another choking sound on the other end I will not demand respect for you , my king , but I will ensure that a wolf , no matter the rank , understands that there is a line he should not cross .

He turned his back on the goddess herself when decided he could select the next Lana Queen , instead of allowing you to wait for your mate .

Not only is he putting himself above the king and the future queen , but he is trying to usurp the position of Eoddess .

What ? Rowan sounded confused I wonder why the council has decided that now , they can select who you mate , and when you should have children .

Is it due to actual worry ? Or something more sinister ? A weak queen and young impressionable pups are 161 25 BONUS easily manipulated when the king is too busy over seeing a war with rogues .

Do you not agree ? 1 The silence on the other end was deafening .

King , you must know that our intentions are only for the continuance of your line .

The man stammered .

But Rowans silence stretched on Amy … I have to go .

His quick dismissal was surprising but understandable .

Thank you for calling me , but I have a lot of things to discuss with my council .

I understand.

I clicked the end button and turned back to Nina .

Well , I guess your mating might not be as secure as you thought .

I had tucked my aura away as the phone call started and Nix , after saying her peace , receded , leaving me , staring down at Nina .

She surged to her feet .

You bitch .

I pointed at myself and she shrieked again .

You think you have won something , but the king has already agreed to finding a mate by goddess bond ? He cant get out of it .

She laughed as she turned away .

You havent won shit .

Then she left with her group of girls following her .
