Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 319 Chapter 319 I stepped back .

My fingers aching , but my resolve hardening by the minute .

Rowan stood , looking back toward the door .

How are you going to play this ? I thought about it for a minute .

Im going to play the fence He just tilted his head .

Im going to act like I want to rebuild , but that you are refusing me .

You wont allow anyone to the pack lands because of rogues , so I have to figure out another choice , another path until you allow me back onto my pack lands .

Why ? Because it will do two things .

Give Vince some security that I hate you .

He wont trust me if we are close still .

And I need him to trust me enough to allow me close .

Rowan nodded .

Its one reason your father , and I created space .

I nodded .

I figured it was a part of the truth , but it didnt hurt any less .

The second thing ? It will give him something he secretly wants .

I stretched my back out .

Whats that ? A way to get more power without giving any up .

I twisted my back until it popped .

If he thinks he can control me via Brandon , then that is what he will do .

But if we are honest , Vince doesnt want to step down for Brandon .

He will , because in reality he will still be in charge , but he doesnt want to .

Brandon is an idiot .

And if Vince has to pretend to follow his lead , it will chip away at him .

But if Brandon could say , become alpha of another pack … Then Vince can stay alpha of Oakenfang .

Rowan finished slowly .

His eyes snapped to mine .

Thats … Thats fucking insane .

Toya finished , her voice held a dawning horror .

But that would hook Vince faster than anything else .

I nodded because she was right .

If Vince could control two packs , and have your money at his fingertips , he would be very happy .

I nodded .

Thats exactly what Im going to dangle in front of him .

Rowan rubbed his jaw .

You have to be smart about it .

I wanted to roll my eye , but he continued .

And I know you will be .

But maybe … Maybe what ? I took a drink .

Rowan waved his hands .

Vince doesnt know how well off your fathers pack was .

Rowan was working through an idea , and Toya and I just smiled .

No , he doesnt .

I added .

He still doesnt trust you .

Rowan shot me a look , and I shook my head .

He wont , not fully .

I shook my head .

But if he thinks he can control you … I pointed at him and nodded .

Thats your aim .

I nodded again .

Brandon was rejected by his mate , but he hasnt really made it known .

How do you know ? Rowan interrupted me .

I shot a look at Toya .

She nodded .

Well , I know for a few reasons .

First , Brandon told me yesterday when he asked me to give him a shot .

Toya snorted .

Then she pointed at me .

Dont let her fool you .

Shes the one that rejected him .

She cackled , and I smiled .

Brandon is your mate ? Rowans voice was soft .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 3191 I smiled , and I could feel how viscous it was .

Not anymore He was never going to be my mate , not after everything .

Rowan furrowed his brow .

What do you mean ? I tilted my head .

Something was off .

Ill explain it after everything is saaid and done .

1 He looked at me with wounded eyes .

You dont trust me .

I sighed .

Its not that I dont trust you .

Its just that … I trailed off , looking at Toya for some help .

Then I turned to him , biting my lips , trying to pick my words .

Toya sighed as she stood .

Its exactly that she doesnt trust you .

I snapped my head to Toya , but she was staring at Rowan .

And you cant blame her .

What ? Rowan looked confused .

Toya .

I hissed .

No.

Its about fucking time I said something .

Watch your tone , Rowan growled .

Toya snarled .

No.

You came into Amys life and made yourself important .

You were both nauseatingly , glaringly in love with each other .

But I respected you because you wanted to make sure your wolves were happy .

But then Amy went into heat and you left her to burn , Toya snarled .

And I hated you for it .

Despite that , I respected the love you had for your wolf .

Toya stepped closer , her voice dropping low .

But then you fucking disappeared .

You ripped out her heart , and you fucking ghosted her .

And I was the one to pick up her pieces .

You sent random gifts , sure , but did that do anything ? Absolutely not .

Thats not fair .

We have a plan .

She scoffed .

Your fucking plan .

Not her plan , not ours .

You and her father made the plan , but you cut her off .

You were supposed to help her learn to hack , but she found someone else for that .

You turned your back .

You left .

And now youre back and you have a fiancee ?
