Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 196 +25 BONUS I screamed and dropped into a fighting stance , only to find Rowan on my sofa staring at me .

I tossed my head , dropping the towel that I had wrapped around my hair to the floor .

I nearly growled when I found him sulking in the dark , but I just stood up and patted my naked chest .

Calm down .

I shook my head and chuckled at my stupidity .

The feeling of soft skin on my fingertips had my hand freezing .

Naked chest … I slowly looked down , as if I was a human in one of their horror movies .

When my eyes met the pile of towels , my mouth dropped open .

My eyes landed on my naked and prominent chest , currently on full display , and I screamed again .

I snatched the towels and ran out of the room .

Oh , my goddess .

Kill me now .

I crumpled on to the bed in disbelief .

Did that actually just happen ? What the fuck am I supposed to do ? I dropped my head into my hands and groaned .

I would put on clothes if I were you .

Rowans voice sounded right outside my door .

His voice was low , gravelly , and filled with need .

I will give you a minute to get out here , fully clothed , or I will come in there , and then I have zero promises of what will happen .

I heard the creak of the wood on the other side of my door and I shivered .

Forty five seconds , rabbit , Im counting .

Fuck .

I stood and dropped the towels to the ground and rushed to my closet .

I heard a soft thunking on my door .

I can hear you moving rabbit , but its not fast enough .

Thirty seconds .

His voice softened .

Please , for the love of the goddess .

I couldnt tell if he was begging her for me to hurry or to slow down .

I didnt even know what I wanted .

Yes , you do .

Nix offered .

Then she pushed her thoughts into my mind .

I was kneeling on the bed and Rowan was behind me .

I was panting as her laughter shook me from the image .

Oh , goddess .

Rowans nails trailed down the door .

Fifteen seconds , rabbit .

I whirled and slipped on a pair of tight shorts , and I grabbed a t shirt , slipping it over my head just as the door busted open .

I barely had time to turn , and I was in his arms .

I dont know if I should be relieved or disappointed .

His voice was low as he dropped to his knees .

He rubbed his face into my stomach , and I could feel the intake of his breath .

Goddess , you smell amazing .

But he looked up , with eyes full of heat .

But something is missing What do you mean ? I stared down at him as he leaned in raising the t shirt up inch by inch , and then his lips connected with the skin next to my belly button .

I drew in a shaky breath .

But even as I asked , I drew in a breath of my own , and he was right .

Something was missing .

His scent was still missing .

You smell wrong .

His voice was soft as he leaned in to kiss the other side of my stomach and I felt my center clench .

I closed my eyes as need hit me and I felt my short dampen .

I needed … him .

His quick inhale had my eyes snapping to his , and I watched his eyes dilate .

He could smell my need .

You shouldnt smell like this .

His wolf flashed in his eyes , a blue so white it was jarring , but Rowan wrangled control .

You dont smell at all .

Nix flashed in my eyes and I dropped down .

Why cant I smell you ? I leaned in and Nix pushed to the surface again .

Why do you hide yourself from us ? Nixs voice was low , sultry , and full of the need I tried to hide His eyes searched mine , and he leaned in .

Because … She pushed forward .

Because why ? I leaned in and traced my nose down his neck , and he shivered .

Nix darted in , pushing me back , and took complete control .

You are hiding my king , and while Amy is more understanding , I am not .

Nix pulled away from his neck .

She has been hurt , and I am now her protector .

I wont allow you to +25 BONUS Chapter 196 pay games with her heart , king or not .

Im not .

He shook his head , but Nix just tilted her .

1 You are .

And I cant tell if it is because you want her , and you are fighting it .

Or because you enjoy the chase .

But this cant go on .

I wont allow you to shatter what she has rebuilt , brick by brick .

What is your name ? He leaned in , his lips a fraction away from ours , and my heart clenched painfully .

Nix lifted one of my curved brow .

You want my name ? Rowan nodded , but Nix leaned in and laid a soft , chaste kiss on his lips before she pulled away and whispered against his mouth .

You want my name , you crave my human , then prove you are worthy of both .

I refuse to give an inch to yet another male unworthy of our attention .
