Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 379 A pin could drop .

Thats how quiet the room was when I looked at Shelly .

But she just stood there , hand hanging loosely by he side , staring down at me .

What did you say ? I took a deep breath .

Sit down and listen to the full story .

I will ignore the fact you hit me because you are emotional and wor about your child .

But make no mistake .

I am an alpha wolf and I will not suffer disrespect so easily .

1 She stumbled back a step and sank down .

Rick grabbing her hands and flashing me an awkward , apologetic smile .

What were you saying ? Shelly looked at him with a tiny bit of hurt in her eyes , but Rick just kissed her .

Let her speak .

This isnt her faul babe , Abby sighed and pushed up to her knees .

She was face to face with her mom .

I now your worried , and you dont understand , Amy is the only reason Im still alive .

Shelly stared down at her daughter and a tear slipped out .

Im sorry .

Her eyes flicked up to me .

Im so sorry .

I just … know , and its okay .

Protecting your child is your first instinct and I believe me , I understand the instinct .

Rick can explain once you get away .

I looked back down at Abby .

How long has Abby had the mark ? Rick looked like he was thinking, but it was Shelly that answered .

She was five , she had just started school , and her class neede physicals .

She came home with the brand and Vince explained it was a new vaccine for a sickness going around .

Why ? My eyes snapped to hers .

Ill explain in a moment .

I could tell she wanted to rip my head off , but I pushed on .

When we got there , my wolf wrapped her up , and felt how weak she was .

Her fur was patchy , and she couldnt even lift her head .

I didnt know she had even manifested yet , but there she was , small , shivering and weak .

I heard Alannah whine , but I pushed through it .

I picked up Nala , and held her close , trying to figure out how bad the damage was .

Rick furrowed his brow .

Nala ? Who is that ? My wolf daddy .

Abby smiled .

She is amazing , and even though she is sick , like me , shes beautiful .

She turned to look at me .

You were right .

What do you mean ? You said that sick people can be beautiful , and I said you were wrong .

But uyou were right .

She closed her eyes .

Even sick … Nala was stunning .

Her eyes looked at me and smiled .

She was .

I booped her nose .

When I first cut Abby , my intent was to heal the cut , so she wouldnt get sicker .

But my magic took over , healing as much damage as it could .

Strengthening her , even as my wolf drew me into her inner sanctum , Rick looked at his daughter .

She looks healthier .

I nodded .

So when I held Nala , my magic did the same .

But Nix , my wolf , was right .

Nala had taken on so much of the damage , she had less than a day left .

And maybe Abby would have survived losing her wolf , but … +20 E Shelly gasped .

But she probably wouldnt have because she is so weak .

I nodded .

Exactly .

I rubbed her head .

So I pushed my magic into her .

It took a bit , but eventually she perked up .

She was st too small , too young to speak to us , but she opened her eyes and stood on her own legs .

Abby smiled widely .

She was amazing .

I winked .

I bought them a week .

I looked at Rick and Shelly , and they both gasped .

No , uts too soon .

Shelly grabbed Abby to her chest and started crying .

A week ? I nodded .

Then you guys will have to come back , and I will have to do this again .

Shelly snapped her head at me .

Do this again ? Save her again ? I nodded .

Im not buying you a couple days just so you can say goodbye .

She looked at Rick and , for the first time since we started talking about Nala , hope started to grow .

What are you buying a couple days for then ? Ternen , who I forgot was even there he was so quiet , asked .

Im buying time to get us closer to out dead line .

Im going to drag Abby and Nala as far as I can so I can get the supplies to free them .

Im also going to see if there is any way I can save the other kids , because I refuse to allow Vince to control these parents b poisoning their children .

I looked around the room .

Because it isnt just Abby … its every pup with that brand .

I allowed the words to settle in .

Before I stood .

Now , before we go down to dinner , I have somewhere I want to show you , but I have to get a vow from Shelly , and then I have to add you to the spell .

Shelly nodded .

If you will save my girl , I will follow you into hell .

She bowed .

I stood and held out my hand to Shelly to help her up .

I doubt we are going to hell , but war , we are definitely going to war .
