Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 174 +25 BONUS I still dont understand why ? Because we need them to think you are alone .

Rowan continued to rub my feet .

It felt amazing , but I needed to focus , so I pulled my feet back and leaned closer to him .

1 grabbed his face with my hands , and I squeezed .

I need you to stop being so mysterious and explain it to me .

Why do I have to pretend my father is dead ? I swore Rowan stopped breathing as I leaned in .

Because we want them to think that you are alone other than your mother .

Your mother has spent these last years convincing Vince and Morgan that she is weak .

Which plays well in to our plan .

H Are you going to tell me the plan ? I was getting frustrated .

Are you going to hold my face the entire time I tell you ? His voice was soft and his eyes were flicking between my eyes and my nose .

I puled my hands back as if they were on fire and sat back .

Sorry .

I felt my face flush , and he chuckled .

I dont mind , but I would prefer having a mint if youre going to be that close .

He winked , and I felt another pulse between my legs and the reality hit me like a sledgehammer .

I was attracted , really attracted to Rowan .

I wanted him .

And there was nothing I could do about it .

I felt the reality hit me , liker a punch to the gut .

Eventually , he would mate or marry another wolf and it would not be me .

1 Nix and Megan rushed to calm me down , to comfort me with my hidden sadness .

It will be okay .

Megan brushed down the wall in my mind .

We still have Erubus .

Nixs voice was bright , and I chuckled .

What ? Rowan tilted his head and I felt my cheeks burn again .

My wolf said something funny .

I redirected him .

The plan ? Right .

Rowan pushed up and adjusted his shirt .

First thing first .

We need you to move to the apartment building .

Why ? We want you to be isolated .

And I need you to have a safe space that someone cant get in too .

Rowan looked at me as he pulled the key and jingled it .

Im not the only one that has the universal key .

So does Vince .

What ? It was a safety feature , but with everything that is going on , knowing Vince and Brandon have access to you and your stuff , has your father and me on edge .

I have a lockbox for everything I dont trust those to keep everything you need safe .

Rowans nice flared .

Plus , I scented another wolf in here when I slipped in .

Someone has already been here , but it was too long ago to be sure .

H I felt Nix pushed close .

Someone was in here ? Rowan nodded .

It doesnt matter you are moving to the apartments .

Tonight .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 174 I dont really have everything I need for a one bedroom apartment .

Rowan scratched his head .

Actually , knowing that someone was already here , to make my wolf feel better , your are moving into the other penthouse .

So that when Im in the area , we can be close .

I felt my eyes widen as I jumped up to my knees .

What ? You said it was going to stay empty .

And it was , but now , my wolf wont let me put you anywhere else .

He shrugged .

I listen to him more than anyone else .

I nodded .

Yeah , I think that is the same for most of us .

So you will be safe in the penthouse , but in school , in class , I need you to be isolated .

Withdrawn .

We need it to get out that Silvermoon is gone and that you are vulnerable .

Why ? Because men like Vince think women need men to survive and ones that have no men in their life are weak .

He looked at me .

Once he thinks you are weak , it will give you an opening to strike .

My dad was doing what he had to give me : the space to get closer so I could find out the truth .

1 Okay , Play it smart .

Rowan turned his body towards me .

You cant let them in too close too quickly .

And these next few years they will be lonely .

You will be targeted .

By ? I felt Nix and Megan stand straighter in my mind .

They could handle it .

The council .

The women they will be selecting .

No matter what I say , they think we are close , and that put a target on your back .

Rowan wiped his face .

And the rogues .

They have been making their way closer to the school .

But I am having guard patrols the forest , so running should still be safe .

So Im a target because we are friends … Something like that .

Rowan pulled a second key out and dropped it into my hands .

This is the key to the penthouse on the right .

Start packing and move over tonight .

You here .

Then he got up , started to say something , then shook his head and left .
