Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 208 I felt the world fall out from under my feet and 1 staggered back .

Only Toya kept me upright .

I knew he was going to do this .

I just didnt think it was going to happen so close You have got to be joking .

Wendy cried .

Hanna and Micca both growled , and I saw Sterling wince .

Not in submission , but just from the ferociousness of the two .

They sounded like they would kill someone .

Tell us you are lying , Sterling .

Miccas voice was low , and I didnt have to glance to know her wolf , Muse , was very much present .

Sterling looked away again .

Im not sure .

Jora just told me .

But the King made a statement that there was going to be an announcement tomorrow .

And I figured you should know .

I nodded .

Dont let them up .

Ill come down in a minute .

Sterling nodded , grabbed his bag , and left .

But I turned to my friends .

I have to go check my email and my phone .

Everyone nodded , but Toya followed me back into my room .

If there isnt an email or text , or voicemail from that fucking man about this , I will kill him .

I gave a tiny chuckle because , in this moment , it was all I could muster .

Lets just see .

I booted up my computer and then grabbed my lockbox and grabbed my phone .

There were three missed calls , a text and a voicemail .

I read the text first .

Rowan Please check your email .

ASAP I showed the phone to Toya , and her eyes darted across the screen .

Hey .

At least he isnt stupid .

She swiped the notification from the top for the voicemail .

After I entered my passcode , his voice rang out Hey , Amy .

I … fuck .

I dont know what to say to you , or how to say it .

Im going to be making an announcement tomorrow .

I heard a knock , a know on the door and then the sound of his phone hitting the table .

Toyas eyebrows shot up , and she looked at me .

Whats going on ? She asked , but then we heard the door open and both of our attentions snapped back to the phone .

My King .

A soft voice called out , and I felt my stomach clench .

Rowans voice was deep when his answer came out .

Did I tell you to enter , Verity ? I heard the soft click of heels on the wood floor in his office and then a soft chuckle from the woman , who was apparently named Verity .

No , but I didnt think I needed to ask to enter my mates office .

His growl was swift and savage .

You are not my mate .

You have never been my mate .

But I will be .

Her voice was sultry , and it was coming closer to the phone .

Who my mate will be will be determined by the council , and then by me .

Whether you are even in the running is up in the air .

Toya grabbed my shoulder and I slapped my hand over my mouth .

Goddess .

I whispered , as my world tilted once again .

Verity scoffed .

Im the best candidate .

Who says ? Rowan shot back .

You are an elite warrior , I will give you that , but it doesnt mean you are the best option for my mate .

We heard a fist slam into his desk , vibrating the phone there .

If there were any Lycans alive , you wouldnt even be in the running .

+25 BONUS Chapter 200 Toya gasped and pointed at me but I just shushed her .

Good thing there are no more Lycans .

Veritys voice dropped low and something hit the floor .

There was some rostling of clothing and then a gasp .

Did I give you permission to touch me ? Get up off your fucking knees and leave my fucking office .

Only my mate will touch me , and you are not her .

Yet .

Her voice now held venom .

Get out .

His voice dropped low and the time restraint for voicemails finished as the call was disconnected after his words .

What the fuck was that ? Toya looked at me but I just shook my head .

I dont honestly know .

I threw my phone down onto my bed and grabbed my laptop , opening my email and finding one email marked urgent from Rowan .

Hey , The council has been pushing these last few months for me to begin the process of finding a mate .

And I put it off as long as I could , but I cant any longer .

Every time I say no , there is another attack on a pack .

Whenever I give in , it gives us a little more time to figure everything out .

1 figure I can start the process and hopefully they will get bogged down with applications to go through that .

It will give us at least six more months before I have to date these women .

Apply .

And get every female you know to apply .

Rowan .
