Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 184 He tried to trap your mother and you as sex slaves ? Rowans voice was dark .

I just nodded .

My mother would never have touched another wolf if it was an option .

It was the threat of me becoming a slave that pushed her to marry Morgan , and how he kept her under his thumb the entire time .

She did it to keep you safe , Wendy whispered and I could see a single tear slip down her cheek .

She is a good mom .

I nodded .

But that isnt why I brought it up .

I looked at Toya .

I brought this up because I want you to see the men we have to face .

The kind of men we will have to fight .

Fight ? Hanna tugged at her hair .

I looked at Rowan , and he cleared his throat .

How many of you know about the attacks from when you were babies ? The ones that killed my father ? Everyone around the room nodded .

We all do .

Toya answered .

My father taught me as a part of my training .

Rowan nodded .

There are a few of us , the newer Alphas like Amys father , that believed that the attacks were a lot less random than they appeared .

He drew in a breath .

Not to mention it was the first attack by rogues where it was a coordinated attack .

Multiple packs were attacked .

If it wasnt for sheer luck , half the packs would be gone .

All the packs that had new alphas appointed by my father were attacked at the same time .

Something unheard of .

How were there that many rogues ? Micca leaned against the arm of the couch .

We dont keep track of rouges but there shouldnt have been that many rogues .

Rowan stretched and laid his arm on the back of the loveseat .

I could feel the heat from his arm and I was momentarily distracted .

Not by a long shot .

My father always said there was no way for that to have happened randomly .

It was organized .

By who ? Wendy bite her thumbnail and stared at the table .

Thats where we come in .

Everyones eyes snapped to me What ? Hanna pushed back against the leather .

Im going to lay everything out .

I leaned my chin against my clasped hands .

My father said that it is more likely that some alphas got together and decided they wanted to lead .

But the Lycans .

Micca started , and I nodded .

1 Exactly .

I looked at Rowan .

My father thinks the kings attack wasnt the first attack , but the last in a series .

He actually spoke to your father about his theory when he first inherited the pack Rowans eyes darted between mine .

Why has he never told me ? 1 can only assume , but he was pretty certain you hated him .

And that you blamed him for your fathers death .

I watched the stronger , sure man I knew crumple in front of me .

I never wanted him to feel that way .

Η I smirked .

Unfortunately for all of us , my father is pretty perceptive .

Once he feels like you dont like him , he will distance himself from you .

I was a kid .

He tried to defend himself .

Yes , and he knows that .

He never bad mouthed you .

He understood where you were coming from .

He was the made that was supposed to keep you dad safe , and he failed Rowan just nodded .

Anyway , my dad has been # 25 BONUS Chapter 18 investigating the loss of the Lycans for years .

And this summer , when I needed him , he helped me .

But he asked me to help him .

With what ? Toya was invested .

With hacking into Vinces system .

He has tried , but Vince has invested pretty heavily in security .

You know how to hack ? Wendy bounced .

That is so cool , I laughed .

Not at all , but .

I looked at Rowan .

Im going to spend every minute I can learn how to do it .

What do you need is to do ? Toya took her first drink .

1 First , I want to train with you .

I know we are going to fight at the end of this , and I need all of you to survive .

They all nodded .

Second , I need you all to help me and Toya .

I faced her .

We have to appear weak .

We have to be vulnerable and approachable .

Either the Alphas , or the council , will want to get us under their thumbs .

We are the future mates of the packs and if they have a leader under their thumb to push their agenda , all the better .

The council is in on this too ? Wendy paled .

I dont know .

I turned to face Rowan .

He shifted again , and his arm dropped from the back of the loveseat and slid against my back .

I shivered , and I watched his pupils dilated .

2 I dont know either , but its better to be safe .

I nodded .

Third , I need people I can trust .

To work with , to grow with , to have in my corner as I isolate myself .

I faced everyone again .

War is coming for us , and 1 , for one , would rather the good guys win .
