Shifted Fate Novel

apter 345 Chapter 345 +25 BONUS I smiled down at her .

Not yet .

I still have to go shopping but I promise , Ill be back soon .

I pointed down the hall .

Someone came to visit you .

My moms eyes were full of tears , but she managed a smile .

Hey Carly .

She crouched down .

Do you remember me ? Carlys eyes lit up , and she ran down the hall .

My daddy called you our luna ! She ran into her arms .

But he also said you were his first pup .

Carly pulled back a little .

Does that mean youre my sister ? My mom laughed , but I could hear her pain .

Carlys words sank in .

Carl loved my mom like a pup , and looking at my mother , she loved him like a father .

A fresh pain crept into my chest .

My mom looked up at me .

Another time baby .

I just nodded .

She turned back to Carly .

How about you think of me like a grandma ? Carlys eyes grew wide , and she looked back at me .

A never had a grandma before .

I smiled .

Its up to you , sweet pea .

Like I said last night , you get to decide what you call us .

She nodded and turned back to my mom .

Id really like a grandma .

My mom fought her tears and smiled widely .

I would really like a granddaughter .

Carly dove back into her arms .

She pulled back and snagged her hand .

Come look at my room , grandma .

Amy gave me all my daddys stuff , so I put it all in here .

Carly tugged her across the hall and into her room .

My mom followed , laughing .

I turned back to Lynn .

Yes , to answer your question .

Carly is the shaman .

A shaman that is six years old .

Almost seven .

She called from her room .

I laughed .

My mistake .

Almost seven year old girl who I adopted as her father just passed away .

Lynn stared at me for a minute .

You have a lot on your plate .

I just nodded .

Too much .

Ill leave .

She pulled away from me and tried to head down the stairs .

You are too far away from my fathers packs lands to go home .

I omitted the cave portal .

You could go back through the closet , but you would be in the same place as before .

She stopped , and I could see her shaking .

You are not now , nor will you ever be , a burden to me .

She looked at me over her shoulder .

You are my friend , my pack , and I will keep you safe .

I met her eyes with my defiant ones .

I wont make you stay here if you dont want to , but I really hope you will .

I will help you train .

I will help you gain your strength .

Toya came over next to me , and Wendy stepped out of her room .

Toya gestured to her and Wendy .

We will help you .

Wendy stepped closer .

Please dont leave .

I know we just met , and I know you dont really feel safe in your own skin .

But allow us a chance .

Lynn looked away .

I would be useless .

I shook my head .

Not useless .

I stepped closer to her .

Never useless , never a burden .

I raised my hand and cupped her face .

Plus , I have so much to tell you .

About what ? Everything .

I whispered .

Toya came up behind me .

We had to keep you in the dark because of where you were , but now , now you can learn the truth .

Chapter 345 +25 BONUS Her lip trembled .

I could see she was almost ready to agree But she shook her head .

I cant do that to you .

Tiny footsteps came behind us again .

You are wounded , warrior .

You are lost .

Carlys voice took on a deeper inflection .

Everyone slowly turned to see her white eyes staring back at us .

If you leave , you jeopardize everything , including your life .

If he catches you again , and he will look , you will lose everything .

Lynn shuddered .

No.

She shook her head , and a tear slipped out .

Carly stepped forward .

My skin prickled with the magic surrounding her .

You want to run because he made you believe you are not worthy of love , of care , but that is far from the truth .

She raised her hand slowly and gently took Lynns .

Let his words fade from your mind .

Let the three spirited one in .

You will find your peace once again .

Lynn trembled as she stared down at the little girl in front of her .

Who are you ? The words were whispered but held so much wonder .

You know what I am , warrior .

But I do not think you know what I do .

I am a vessel .

Carly looked up .

A vessel for the future , the present , the past .

I see all , and I weigh paths .

I am the truth bearer , the pathfinder , I am the alpha , the omega , I am the storyteller .

I am everything and nothing .

Carlys voice changed a little and her eyes shifted to darkness .

I am the goddesss voice , and her will on earth .
