Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter Thirty One # 25 BONUS Amy … a voice called out , but it sounded like it was far away .

I looked around the clearing and all I could see were Megan and Nix , patiently waiting for me .

Amy ! The voice was more insistent , closer , but still there was no one other than the three of us .

Who is that ? I looked at my wolves and they seemed to shrug .

AMY ! I jumped , my eyes snapping open and there was my father at the edge of the clearing , frantically pacing .

Wake up ! He called out again and my eyes finally focused on his face .

He was pale and sweating .

Whats wrong ? Dad ? I called out , wiping my eyes .

He whirled around and pounded on a barrier that wasnt there this morning .

Amy ! He forced his hands flat against the invisible shield .

Thank the goddess .

Dad ? I was still confused .

Whats wrong ? Whats wrong ? Whats wrong ? Amy , you have been unconscious for over two hours .

He rubbed his eyes .

Ive been calling you since I got here , and this is the first time you answered .

Η I stood and dusted the grass from my legs .

Why are you here ? I was still so confused .

起 Its time for lunch .

I was coming to get you .

My dad knelt down and shook himself .

I never want to see you like that again .

13 Im okay .

I stood on shaky legs and walked over to where he was waiting .

I expected the shield in place , so I raised my hand to touch the invisible barrier , but I passed right through and my father grabbed me .

He buried his face in my hair and breathed .

I was so worried .

His voice was shaky as he breathed in my scent .

He froze for a minute and pulled back .

You smell different .

I pulled back and opened my mouth , but Megan cut in .

It isnt time to tell him yet .

We have secrets to unveil before we can tell them the truth .

I think I figured out the nature thing I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around the white pot the goddess placed there , and I felt something zip alone on my skin .

He pulled back and smiled .

I knew you would figure it out .

He ruffled my hair and pulled me into his arms .

Now we can move on to the next lesson .

Whats that ? For you … cloaking yourself .

He shifted and I jumped onto his back and we were running back to the pack house .

I laughed as he jumped off a dead tree and we soared through the air .

The feeling of the wind in my fur was amazing .

Wind in my fur … I looked down and I saw that black fur had grown down my arms .

Dad … He skidded to a stop hearing the worry in my voice , and I hopped off .

I was staring down at my arms and panic set it .

Is this supposed to be happening ? calm pup .

It just means you are getting closer to shifting .

The fur rippled and panic burst in my chest .

Im not ready yet .

I knew without a doubt if I shifted before I covered my scent , there would be no way I would be able to .

Pup , its okay .

Loki rubbed his head against me and I shook myself .

+25 BONUS Chapter Thirty One If I shift before learning how to cover my scent , I wont be able to .

I grabbed Lokis face .

Yes , you will .

Ive been able to .

I shook my head and I could feel Nix come closer to the surface .

My eyes shifted , and Nix was staring into Lokis eyes .

Listen to us .

If we shift before learning to cover our scent , we wont be able to cover ourselves .

There are certain things we cant tell you , but this I am certain .

How are you so certain , pup ? Loki settled at my feet and Nix pushed against the surface .

Fur sprouted on my arms and face and Loki chuffed .

A moon blessing .

What ? I choked out , my voice rougher than normal .

You have a moon blessing on your forehead .

Lokis snout touched my forehead and a silver light flared at the touch .

I believe you .

Nix pulled back , tucking herself deeper into my dark forest .

Ill have to stay far away from you , as will Megan , or else we might trigger a shift .

Are you leaving me ? I felt my eyes shift back and the fur receded .

Never .

Her response was soft , but firm .

We will work on hiding yourself tomorrow .

Loki promised .

You already missed the training start time with the girls .

I told Tina and Lynn to start without you .

So when we get back , after we eat , we can work on not shifting .

Im scared .

I felt my skin ripple again .

I feel like Im losing control .

You are , Loki answered honestly .

But I cant teach you how not to .

Now get on .
