Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 422 I walked out of the office with an exhausted grin on my face . " Did you do it ? " Alannah stood at her desk with a grin on her face . " I did . Got it just as the counter was counting down . " Alannah jumped as the door swung open and Vince walked in . " Amy ! " He yelled as soon as he walked in . Alannah swung around me as naturally as she could . " Yes Alpha Vibce . What can I do for you ? " Alannah stepped into Rick's office , creating more space between them .

Vince looked at her retreating , but I turned away from him and grabbed my purse from my hook , pulling his attention back to me . " You can't call off the mating ceremony . " His face was smiling , but I saw the glint in his eye . He sounded like he was begging , but he meant it as an order . " Brandon loves you . " I nodded . " And I love him , but I love him enough to respect him and his reputation . " Vince furrowed his brow . " What do you mean by that ?

" I sighed as I stepped out of my office , pulling my door shut . " Alpha Vince , I know rumors don't get back to you that much , because you are the alpha . But the pack is already talking . Shannon's saying she was potentially pregnant by Brandon has gotten around . Everyone is talking about how they got back together . " I shook my head . " Brandon has loved and been with an unranked wolf . And while I understand in some packs , that kind of relationship is fine .

" I felt my skin fall as I said these words . This made me sick . " But in our pack , it's something to talk about . I can't add to the drama . If I still mate with him , not only will he seem like a man who can't decide , who can't figure out his own feelings , but they will see him as weak for falling an unranked wolf , as someone who chose the weaker wolf . Having a weak and indecisive alpha can break a pack . I won't muddy the waters around Brandon any more . " I walked to the door .

" I'm not Shannon . I actually love and care about him . " I looked back . " Wha- " He paused , and I watched him replay what I just said over again . " What do you mean you're not Shannon ? " I chuckled . " How do you think the rumors got out so fast ? " I headed back to Rick's office as Vince processes what I just said . " Mother fucker . " He whispered before he stormed away . I waited a few minutes before I knocked on Rick's door . " Are you ready to go ?

" Alannah opened the door and stepped out with a big box . " Yeah . I found it . " Then she handed it to me . " What's this ? " I grabbed the box from her , feeling it was pretty heavy , stuffed with papers . " Tomorrow's job . I just remembered it , and I was going to put it on your desk , but since you are still here . " She pointed to it . " You might want to take it home to get a head start on it . " I shook the box , but there was nothing surprising about it . " What is it ?

" 1/3 Chapter 422 +15 Bonus " Ricks files . " She laughed . " He wants you to organize them by firewall . Apparently there are sections to the box and he said since you have been through it , you can organize his ' process ' . " She grabbed her stuff and turned away . " He also said to take out the stuff that means nothing and toss it . " She made sure I was looking at her when she said the last sentence . " Oh , goddess . " I groaned , playing alone . " Can't he organize his own files ?

Or have you do it ? " She sighed . " I tried to tell him that when he told me about the files . But he said I wouldn't understand . " She turned off the light , and we left the office . "Hey . " Ternen came around the corner and I nearly had to gag at the stench coming off his body . " Ready to go , baby ? " He beamed down at Alannah , and she nodded . " Bye Amy . " They waved and turned away , the cologne on him nearly burning the little hairs inside my nose .

I had forgotten I was holding the box because of the stench and nearly spilled everything everywhere when I went to grab y nose . " Bye . " He looked over his shoulder and laughed back at me and my disgusted face . I just shook my head and headed back home . I grabbed some food and took the bo upstairs to my bedroom , locking myself in . I went to the cabin for dinner and to see everyone before heading back . " Why are you heading back to the house ?

" My mom crowded behind me after I got up from the table . " I have a video chat with dad and Thoth , so I need the internet at the house . And I have paperwork that I need to sort through for work . " " Okay . " She hovered for a minute , like she worried , but I closed the door behind me , shutting everything out until I had the call . I needed to figure out what the heck was in this box of papers .
