Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 363 Shannon stepped back from whatever she saw on his face .

Amy told me about her birthday lunch , and since we all have become so close , I figured while she was busy , we could have lunch together .

She looked at his face , and winced .

But I jumped at the chance .

I stepped to her side and wrapped my arm around hers .

Shannon , that is honestly the best idea .

She looked at my arms around hers .

It is ? Brandons face morphed into a mask of confusion .

It is ? I nodded .

Shan is right .

I mean , we have spent the last six months working on our friendship .

And its made our relationship that much easier to go ahead with , knowing that we arent going to fight over you .

I smiled up at him and he considered it .

I could see the exact moment he decided to go to lunch with Shannon .

The exact moment he figured out he could have a little afternoon rendezvous with his lover , since I give him nothing .

I saw the heat enter his eyes and knew I had him .

Okay .

Okay .

I wanted to clap .

I give in .

Go have lunch with your friends .

Ill have lunch with Shannon here .

Plus , we have things to discuss .

.

I know .

Shannon smiled as she slid next to him .

I mean , your mating ceremony is in a few short weeks .

I felt my stomach clench , but I smiled and nodded .

We have so much to still go over for the ceremony .

I nodded .

I know .

I am so excited .

I leaned in to kiss Brandons cheek .

Soon Ill get to kiss your lips .

I whispered next to his ear , and I heard him groan .

I sat back with a satisfied smile on my face .

I didnt want to touch him at all , but teasing him was honestly fun .

But you are right .

We still have a lot to pin down .

I turned to Shannon .

Thank you for helping with it all .

Shannon smiled , but I could see the hatred in her eyes .

Of course .

You are my sister , and Brandon is my best friend .

You have everything going on here , so I do what I can .

She gripped her arm through Brandons .

You ready to go ? He looked at me for a second and then back at Shannon .

I could see the exact moment his brain switched off .

He wanted to know what the hell we were going to talk about .

I knew thats why he came running over here .

But Shannon and the potential for sex turned all that worry off , and that was perfect for me .

Yeah , Im ready .

He turned to me and kissed my forehead .

Ugh .

Ill see you after work ? We can go over to the bakery to select the cake .

I nodded .

Sounds perfect .

They left , and I turned to everyone waiting .

I grabbed for Alannah again .

Now lets go .

We dont want to miss the reservation .

I winked to Rick , and we left the pack house , climbing into my truck and took off .

As soon as we turned off the main drive .

I pulled over .

Alannahs brow furrowed .

But I turned to Ternen .

I pointed to him .

You .

He looked around and then pointed at himself .

Yeah you .

What the hell happened to you ? Ternen looked away .

I dont want to talk about it .

I looked around , and I could see it in their eyes .

They liked me , but didnt trust me , not fully .

I swung back around and pulled away from the curb .

I know you dont trust me .

And I dont blame you .

So I will ask for a vow of silence before I tell you my secrets .

Chapter 363 All three of them turned to look at me .

You have a secret ? Rick raised a brow as I nodded .

I do .

I sighed .

But it involves too many others to tell everyone .

I need your vow so that you will be forced to keep it .

Even if you are commanded by an alpha .

Rick turned in the passenger seat to stare at me fully .

So if we take the vow , no matter what , someone wont be able to force the truth .

I nodded .

Exactly .

I looked back at him .

If it makes you more comfortable , Ill take the vow as well .

I glanced at Rick .

I dont mind and that way , anything we discuss at this lunch will be kept a secret .

You wouldnt be able to tell Vince or Brandon ? Alannah leaned over the seat .

Nope .

I smirked .

Even if I didnt take the vow , they couldnt command me to tell them anything .

They are too weak .

I chuckled as the rest of them gasped .

I dont seem it , because I can keep my aura under control , but I am very strong .

Rick chuckled .

That doesnt surprise me .

Your mother and father were a pair to behold .

We pulled into the malls parking lot , and I turned off the truck .

Are you ready ?
