Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter Seventeen How did it go today ? My father nudged me to a seat across from him and waved to an omega .

She brought in the plates .

Thank you Manda .

Thank you Manda .

I smiled up at the girl , and she ducked her head , then left .

I turned back to my father.

It went as well as expected .

Which wasnt good at all .

I pointed to him and nodded .

Exactly .

What happened ? He dug into his food , and I told him about the day .

We started with running , and even those that had already shifted were … Weak ? my dad threw out while waving his knife around .

Pathetic .

I countered .

I cut into my steak and nearly moaned with the first mouthful .

They barely made it two laps before they were huffing .

Then I called them over , and we started to talk about what was going on .

And … And then some girls were giving us push back about commanding other wolves .

So I made a point .

What was the point ? My father focused fully on me and I grimaced .

He might not agree with my decision .

They wanted to hide behind the council , but then balked when I told them that what they were doing was against our laws , too .

I growled out , thinking about what they said .

So I commanded them to do jumping jacks while we questioned them , then those that were innocent were released .

And the ones that werent ? My dad leaned back and I dropped my cutlery .

I left them jumping until they got the point across .

How many threw up ? Only one .

I nearly whispered the last part .

But my father just laughed .

You do what you have to do , darling .

I gave you free rein of the women and I meant it .

I picked my fork and knife back up and continued eating .

Now , are you going to give me such a fight tomorrow morning ? I rolled my eyes and looked at him .

I dont understand what I am even doing .

I already told you , you are connecting to nature .

My dad cleared his plate and Manda came back with his dessert and took his plate away .

Figure out the way you need to connect to nature yourself .

Leant guide you .

Or else you wont bond the way you need to .

Bond the way I need to ? If I tell you how it works for me and you make a connection , it might be strong for you , but more often than not , my way wont work as well for you .

You might cripple you magic .

Forge your own path and bond with your own magic to reach your full potential .

I dont know if it will matter .

I tossed back .

Oh , believe me , it will .

My dad shook his head .

Once you create your own bridge , I can teach you my way , and you will feel the difference .

You will see how much it will the your hands and you will hate it .

How do you know ? +25 BONUS Chapter Seventeen I did the exact same thing you are doing .

Ive been in your shoes .

He tossed his head back and laughed .

I hated it .

My grandmother would taunt me day in and day out .

And I hated it .

But once I was able to do it , she taught me her way , and the power was a mere trickle compared to the roar of my bridge .

I watched as my dads eyes grew misty .

I miss that old bat .

Your grandma ? He cut his eyes to me and gave a tiny nod .

You would have loved her , and she you .

But witches , they dont live as long as us , and she was already old by the time I came of age She died ? He nodded .

Died swinging her cane and bellowing her power at rouges .

1 What ? We were attacked a few decades back , maybe a hundred by now .

She was alone in her cabin when they attacked .

She came to help , but she was old and slow .

Two rouges attacked her at once and I watched her take them down .

But soon they realized they had to take her down if they wanted to win .

This little old human woman was blasting through their ranks .

I watched her send out her power , and then she was gone .

She took every one of them with her , though .

1 A tear fell , and he brushed it away .

She sounded amazing .

She was .

Just like you .

You remind me of her .

You even look a little like her when she was younger .

19 Really ? My dad got up and grabbed a faded picture frame from a shelf and brought it over .

There in the photo was a gorgeous young woman holding a babe .

Her dark , curly hair trailed over her shoulder .

It was like looking in the mirror .
