Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 197 Rowan pulled back from my face and looked me in the eye .

Okay .

Nix receded , leaving me panting and confused .

What ? Rowan stood , and I nearly stumbled back from how fast he stood .

I said okay .

His smile was perfect .

Everything about him was perfect .

I shook my head to clear it .

Im confused … what ? He laughed and then gripped me at my waist , pulling my body against his and he bent down , kissing my lips and making me nearly moan .

His lips were soft , biteable , and I wanted to spend the rest of my night exploring them , but he pulled away .

You wolf has made a good point .

If I want to earn her name , if I want anything from you , I need to prove it .

Rowan squeezed my hips , and I felt my eyes flutter from the slight pain .

I was learning things about my likes , my needs , in this life I never explored in my last .

I was a little lost in thought as Rowan stepped back .

I tried to grab at him but my hands met air .

I shook my head to refocus , and I bit my lip to stop myself from doing something I would regret .

I coughed and ran a hand through my hair .

What are you doing here ? I finally met his eyes .

They were still full of need and I needed a little space from him .

I turned away from him and grabbed some actual pyjamas .

I turned and look over my shoulder at him .

Do you mind ? His smile was roguish as he shook his head .

Nope , I dont mind .

I rolled my eyes and faced away from him , pulling my t shirt over my head , and pulling on my tank top .

Im going to need you to turn around .

I need to change my bottoms .

The flash of need nearly stopped my breath , but I spun my finger in a circle and he reluctantly turned .

I slipped my shorts off and slid on my jogging pants .

I pulled my hair back into a messy bun .

So , why are you here ? Rowan turned to look back at me .

I needed to see you .

I felt the words melt my insides a fraction , but I bit the inside of my lip to refocus myself .

See me ? About what ? Rowan stepped aside as I slid past him to go back to my dinner .

I wasnt going to let him interrupt my plans for the night .

Rowans fingers trailed down my arm as I passed him , but he followed me as I kept moving .

Things are happening behind the scenes .

And I wanted to talk to you about it all , plus … He trailed off as I sank on to my couch .

I pulled out the meals I got today .

Have you eaten ? No.

He sat down as I gestured .

Pick one .

He stared up at me and reached for a dinner .

I grabbed one of my own and sat down in the chair .

His eyebrows rose , but he didnt comment on the space I created between us .

I dug into the cold meal , not caring enough to heat it , and then I looked up .

Whats been happening ? Rowan finally stopped staring at me and dug into his own food .

Your father has been abler to move things around .

You now have access to his accounts .

This way , it looks like you inherited all of his money .

Rowan paused .

We need you to go out and start spending .

New clothes , new furniture , anything that will catch Brandons and Vinces attention .

I nodded .

And how am I supposed to do that ? I tilted my head .

Here .

Hew pulled out a card I recognized well .

4 +25 BONUS Chapter 197 You have been to the Agora to see him ? I reached out and took my fathers bank card .

Rowan nodded .

I had a lot to discuss with him , and years to apologize for .

I just nodded .

He gave me a letter from Cassie to give to you .

He pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it over .

1 felt tears spring to my eyes .

Cass .

I smiled as I put the letter on the table .

You arent going to read it ? His voice was soft .

Ill read it when Im alone .

I flicked my eyes to his , and be deflated a little .

But I had to create space .

After everything .

After today .

I needed to create this space between us .

You havent emailed me .

You have been ignoring me and Im just confused .

He started , but I laughed .

Seriously ? He was trying to turn this on me .

What ? Rowans eyes snapped up from his meal .

My anger spiked so fast , I nearly fell when I stood .

Get out My voice held the venom I felt .

What ? He stood .

If you are going to fucking sit here and blame me when you are the one that has ignored all of my calls , my emails , my texts , you are going to fucking blame me .

Get the fuck out of my apartment .
