Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 250 The rooms temperature dropped .

Everyone stopped and stared at the two men , and not one person looked away .

We were all watching this car accident as it happened .

What did he just admit to ? I tapped my fingers to my lips , still holding in my laugh , but then Nadine shot a glare to me and I lost it .

1 I keeled over and started laughing .

Tears were streaming down my face as I pooped back up , and I had to hold the stitch in my side .

Whats so fucking funny about this girl ? Thinius sneered , and I wiped the tears from my eyes .

You really are fucking stupid .

I wiped my face some more and sighed while I shook my head .

You would think with your age you have more intelligence , but here you are .

I waved my hand around and turned to face the crowd , then turned back .

Admitting to rigging the contest for queen , in front of the king , who you are forcing to select a mate when he wants to wait for his goddess given mate .

You might as well just say that you all have banded behind his back to force him to bend to your will .

My smile dropped , and I brought an edge to my voice .

Its almost like youre saying that youre committing treason by usurping the crown and the power for your council from the king in front of him .

I took a step .

But you cant be THAT stupid , can you ? Yes , yes , I think he can be , in fact , that stupid .

Rowans voice was deadly .

My king , that isnt what I meant at all .

He waved his hands up in surrender .

Then what did you mean ? Explain it to me as if I am as stupid as you seem to think I am .

I heard him swallow from here .

My king … He looked around and settled his eyes on me .

As your council members , we have an obligation to ensure the woman you mate with is the best of the best .

We look at everything : rank , family , affluence , influence and how this woman will interact with not only us , but with our pack .

He pointed at me .

Look at Amy .

I growled , but he continued .

She is short tempered .

Her father was a traitor .

That did it .

I charged and grabbed him around his neck .

Say it again .

I squeezed .

I fucking dare you מ / 1 .

to say it again .

Rowan came over and wrapped his hand around my wrist .

Let him go .

I snapped my eyes to his .

My golden eyes burned and I can only assume hurt was reflected there because he recoiled a bit .

Please .

I dropped Thinius onto the ground .

Ill give Nina this one .

I dropped down next to the coughing man .

But just this one .

Say anything about my father or mother again , and today will end with a mourning howl .

I stood and stomped away .

Rowan helped Thinius to his feet .

Why did you call Gavin a traitor ? His words were loud as he called the man out .

My lord , he was the reason your father died .

Rowan growled this time .

No , my father died because the council redirected his army last minute and his guards were betrayed .

He got in his face .

But I find it interesting that you blamed Gavin when I was a child , so much so that I believed you .

But Gavin was in his own pack , saving his family , and dealing with the loss of his men and women .

He was nowhere near the royal pack .

I settled back against the table .

Are we going to blame any wolf that protects his family instead of the king , even if he is over a thousand miles away ? Can I blame you for the attack on my fathers pack that got him killed ? There was a subtle twitch in Thiniuss eye that had my stomach clenching .

He had something to do with it .

Rowan caught my eye and gave a tiny head shake .

He was telling me to let it go for now , but he saw it too .

I gave the slightest nod in agreement , then he turned back .

That isnt fair .

Thinius puffed up his cheeks and crossed his arms .

I was nowhere near your fathers land .

Exactly .

I shook my head .

So keep my fathers name from your lips .

Anyway .

Rowan shook his head .

I want to go back to the fact that the council has already selected my mate .

He glowered .

You dont get to select my mate , Thinius .

No one does .

You get to offer options , but I choose if I will even meet with them .

Thinius eyes narrowed , but then he gave a tiny nod .

Fine .

This is done .

She can continue this futile attempt at applications .

The council knows they made the right selection .

Lets go girls .

He turned to leave , but I couldnt let it end like this .

Actually , I dont think this is finished .

Everyone turned to look at me and I looked down at my nails .

According to the old laws , put in place by your father , a council member needs to take an oath to stay out of power struggles , pack issues , and remove themselves from rank structures all together .

Theyre also not allowed to use their aura or command on unranked wolves without their alphas present and consent .

I looked around .

The only alphas here are not pack leaders .

And he broke his vow .

I met his eyes and saw when I said the last words .

The punishment for breaking this vow is expulsion from the council .
