Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 200 25 BONUS His words were a soft balm on the pain I was feeling .

But I needed to get a little space .

So I slid off his lap , and I saw a flash of hurt flash in his eyes .

I like him too .

But my wolf actually feels the same about another , so I understand .

I slid next to him and grabbed his hand .

But what did you mean about an opportunity ? Regret flashed in his eyes and then they faded to his normal brown .

Rowan was back .

Hi .

He was struggling with something .

Hey .

I smiled and grabbed his hand .

Whats wrong ? He sighed .

What Im about to say will make zero sense and I know already it isnt fair , but its how I feel , okay ? I turned to face him .

Okay .

I dont like that your wolf likes this unknown male .

Hu huffed out a laugh .

And like I said , I know Im a hypocrite .

Okay , I do , but I wish you both just liked me … I listened as he explained and smiled , but it was a little sad .

I feel exactly the same way .

But we cant change our wolfs mind .

They have to figure out their own feelings , just like us .

Rowan nodded and then growled .

He grabbed my face and kissed me again , making my eyelids flutter .

I wish all of this was over .

So that our wolves could spend time together , so we could spend time together and really see this through .

He leaned against me and I heard him pulling in my scent .

We still can .

I offered , but he pulled back and I saw something new behind his eyes .

He looked a little lost with a mixture of guilt .

Actually … He pulled back and shook his head .

What ? Your father had this idea … I felt those words hit , and immediately I was on edge .

My father always had plans .

What is it ? I know youre trying to ease me into it , but just tell me .

He nodded .

You father knows that you are going to have to get close to Brandon .

I know you dad is on edge about it but he wont tell me why .

1 I nodded .

I promise to explain it to you when all of this is over .

I pushed that to the side .

Rowan stared at me and then kept going .

He told me that eventually , you will have to get close to him , and having me around will just get in the way .

Why do you think that ? Because I wont like it .

His voice dropped to a growl .

I wont like it at all .

Even as it stands , I might just kill him .

Why ? Because you are menat to be mine .

He stood and was panting .

His eyes flashed to his wolves and then back to his .

His claws descended , and then he paced away .

He was shaking as he turned to stare at me .

I watched as he tried to calm himself down , and finally he settled .

Sorry .

He shook his shoulders out and ten came back , settling next to me , Okay … I dont know what that means for us .

I looked down at my hands , dreading his answer .

And it means Ill have my own acting I have to do .

Rowan , I need you to just lay it all out for me here .

Its nothmaking sense .

My mind was still spinning with his confession and now , with all these plans inside of plans is making it harder to follow .

You dad thinks I need to stay away from you .

Until you finish school … until you crack into Vinces defenses .

Being sad about your fathers death , but being supported by me wont make you vulnerable enough for Vince and Brandon to think that you are easy prey .

I nodded .

But he has gone a step further .

Dread settled in the pit of my stomach .

He wants me to give into the council .

1 felt my face pale .

Give in how ? He wants me to create space from you and then allow the council to think they are convincing me to accept their chosen mate .

What ? I yelled and jumped to my feet .

Im going to kill him .

My fangs snapped down and Rowan smiled .

Its just pretend .

.

You are mine .

I whirled on him , grabbing his face and kissing him .
