Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 316 +25 BONUS We ran to the tower first .

I wanted to handle our stuff before we faced the music .

But as we ran into the building , I saw that luck was not on our side .

Vince , Brandon and Rowan were all waiting for us .

I shifted , gesturing , for everyone else to wait , since I was the only one able to retain my clothes .

Alpha Vince , my King .

I bowed my head a little to both , Brandon .

I smiled .

What can I do for you ? Where have you been ? Vince stepped closer to me , but I just raised my brow .

Handling something personal .

Why ? You ran out of graduation .

I snorted .

Graduation ? You mean the ambush that was waiting for me coordinated by the council ? Vince reeled back as if I slapped him .

I felt the skin around my eyes tighten .

Did you think I was too stupid to see it for what it was ? My father has been dead for almost two years and now they branded him a traitor .

I think thats laughable .

Amy .

Rowan started , but I growled .

I couldnt even stop i I took a deep breath .

Sorry my king .

I watched him flinch at the words .

I didnt mean for that to happen .

I bowed again and I could see his resolve harden .

Nix sighed .

Erubus just warned us .

They have to play their role .

I heard a scoff and Verity came from around a corner .

Rowan looked at her , and his eyes grew hazy .

Then he snarled and whirled on me .

I understand you are angry about what happened yesterday , but you do not get to lash out at me , pup .

His words were icy .

I froze .

Did he just call us a pup ? My words were whispered to my wolves .

Yes , yes , he did .

Nix words were like steel .

He has his reasons .

Megan tried to calm us down .

But I was too far gone .

Pup ? I shot him a glare .

He smirked .

Yes .

Pup .

What ever am I supposed to say when you are supposed to be an adult but you throw tantrums like a child ? She stepped closer to me .

I would really think about your next words .

Rowan shot a glare to Vince .

Alpha Vince here has been taking to me about a position he is going to offer you , but that will only work if your free and not in a dungeon .

Isnt that right , Amy ? He smiled , but it didnt reach his eyes .

Alpha .

I corrected him .

What ? He raised an eyebrow .

Its Alpha Amy , King Rowan .

I pulled my shoulders back .

Since you want me to follow the rules of old , then I expect you to do the same .

I am an Alpha in my own right , and demand the same respect that any other alpha commands .

You dont run a pack .

Verity snarled .

But I laughed .

Have you even read the old laws ? Being a pack alpha isnt a requirement for our title to be used .

The acting monarch had to respect our power .

While the king has his own power and rules over the packs , the alphas are the one keeping him in power .

Is that a threat ? Rowans words were deadly .

I smiled sweetly .

Of course not , my king , just a gentle reminder .

And anyway , your fiancee is also just wrong .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 318 Rowans eyes tightened .

What do you mean ? I mean that other than the obvious fact that she has zero idea what the old laws say , she said I am not a pack alpha .

But I am , No , youre not .

He tossed out , his face scrunching .

I tilted my head , and U felt my eyes narrow .

But then I Im sorry you are confused , my king .

Amy .

Brandon grabbed my arm and I watched Rowan grind his teeth .

His jaw clenched so hard , one of his teeth must have cracked .

I turned to Brandon and I patted his arm Stop .

Its okay .

Im not doing anything except for standing up for myself .

I turned back to Rowan and Verity .

Im tired .

I have to go home still .

And I still need to clear out some stuff here before I can head home , so lets speed run this .

What are you talking about ? Verity glared at me as she moved to grab Rowans arm .

I smiled , but even I could feel it was patronizing .

I looked at my friends and Toya stepped next to me .

Verity , as the next queen , I implore you to read the laws you are going to uphold .

I sighed .

But I grabbed Toyas arm , mimicking Verity and Rowan .

Toya and I are technically pack alphas .

No , youre not .

Verity snarled , but Rowan really looked at me .

And I saw the moment it clicked .

There it is .

I pointed at his face .

You remembered .

Rowan … what is she talking about ? Verity looked up at the king .

A surviving alpha inherits the packs of their fathers .

Bingo .

I smiled .

Ill even bring you a cookie .

} Verity smiled .

But everyone in your packs is dead .

Whats your point ? I shook my head with a smile .

I still inherit the accounts , the contracts , the lands , the properties , and the title .

And with the title comes what ? The respect … and the procedures that the king must follow when speaking with a pack alpha .

Vince came over with a smile .
