Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 357 I tilted my head to the side and nodded slowly .

I am .

I smiled .

Did you know my father ? The man chuckled , the little extra he had around his waist jiggling with it .

Yeah , I know your dad .

How is the old bastard ? I froze , and I forced tears to spring to my eyes and I looked down at my hands .

He passed away in a rogue attack a few years ago .

I looked up and I let one tear drop .

But you are right , before he went , he was one old bastard .

I smirked and wiped the tear away .

The room was silent or a few minutes and Brandon leaned over and whispered to me .

Its okay .

He rubbed my arm with his hand .

I smiled up at him and nodded .

Im sorry .

Rick sighed and rubbed his face .

I didnt know .

He came over and stood with his hands in his pockets .

Now I normally hate any person Vince forces on me , as I feel like he is going to force me out once he has young blood in here .

But for Gav , Ill take you without complaint .

I laughed , sniffling along the way .

Sounds good .

Brandon turned , but then stopped as a ring sounded .

He pulled his phone from his pocket and I watched his eye twitch as he glanced at me .

I have to take this call .

He turned to Rick , whose gaze was narrowed on Brandons screen .

Rick , can you show Amy to her office and help her get settled ? She has to get set up with the new laptop .

I smiled and nodded as the phone rang again , and Brandons jaw clenched .

He gave another nod .

Ill be fine .

I waved him off .

Go .

He sighed and turned to leave , and I caught a glimpse of his screen .

I smirked when I saw Shannons name flash over the display again .

Ill be off .

Have a good day , and Ill come visit when I can .

I gave a tiny wave as the door shut , and then I turned to look at Rick .

Im at your disposal .

I smiled , genuine this time .

But something had Rick upset .

I could see it on his face .

He took a deep breath and sighed as he looked at me .

Follow me .

Rick brought me into a nice enough office .

There were some nice windo that overlooked the training ring where I could see Derek training with the warriors .

I felt my stomach clench as he took his top off and howled .

Never mind the boys , girlie .

They wont help you in here .

I laughed the first of the day .

The boys wont distract me unless you are talking about me criticizing their shitty training .

Rick turned to me with a soft smirk on his face .

My father would roll in his grave if I was ever distracted by shitty training and shittier men .

Rick looked at me for a minute and then nodded .

Your father was a good man , and a better alpha .

He pulled out my chair .

Now sit , Ill get you logged on to the servers , and then Ill see what you can do .

I sat , and we got to work .

A few hours later , he looked at his watch and sat back .

Now that youre logged in , I have a test .

I sat back and cracked my neck .

Okay .

I turned my chair to face him .

Whats the test ? Rick held up a finger and then walked out , coming back with a stack of papers .

This is the test .

He placed them down in front of me and I leaned in .

I paged through the stack and looked up at Rick .

This is … cat and mouse .

I looked back to the papers .

You want to play cat and mouse ? Rick smirked .

I do .

Why ? I leaned back , tapping the page .

How long do I have to hide from you ? He laughed .

You arent the mouse … I am .

I sat back .

I have to catch you ? He nodded .

How long do have ? Chapter 357 He smiled .

You have the rest of the day , IF you can catch me .

I smiled .

Challenge accepted .

I bent over my keyboard .

Im ready whenever are .

+25 BONUS Hold your horses .

He laughed .

I need thirty minutes to hide somewhere in the mainframe .

Ill send Alannah for our lunch , and Ill hide while we eat .

When we are back , you can come find me .

He seemed very giddy .

Youre excited ? He nodded .

Honestly , I am .

He pointed to the computer .

Ive watched you navigate the systems , and I think that you might have the skills to give me a run for my money .

He knocked on the desk .

Now , read the rest of the packet .

There is more information in there that explains the game more in depth .

Like , what happens if you find me ? Then he turned away and left .

But he came back .

Remember to give Alannah your lunch order ? I just put mine in .

He grinned as he disappeared around the corner again .

I just smiled .
