Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 437 " Hello Nina . " I grinned as I faced her fully . " So rude to charge in here and demand why I am here . " I tilted my head . " Why are you here ? " She snarled . " I go here . " I felt my grin turn a little predatory . "That's right, you didn't graduate yet . " She growled again , but I shrugged . "I get it , hard course and all . " I tilted my head . " But why are you here ? " She snapped her teeth at me and I felt my eyes flash .

" I might not come here anymore , but I will give you a bit of grace and tell you to remember who you're snapping at . She seemed to talk a minute to hear my words before she snapped her mouth shut again . I watched her anger simmer behind her eyes , but she just nodded , more to herself than me . " I don't need to answer you . " " That is true . " I walked closer to her . " You don't need to speak with me . " " But you have to explain yourself to me . " Sterling's voice was glacial .

" Now , since you won't answer Alpha Amy's question , I'm going to demand you answer mine . Why are you here Alpha Nina ? " She spun around , and I watched as she tried to puff up . "Who do you think you are speaking to me like this ? " She took a step up to him . " I'm … " She looked at me and I watched her mouth tighten . But she didn't say anything else . I walked up behind her . " You're what , Nina ? " I sidled up next to her . " You can't say you are the next queen now , can you ?

" I smirked . " Not since the King announced his engagement . " I tilted my head . " Now , what is your rise to power ? Is it your uncle's position on the council ? No , can't be that . He's dead . Your sisters ' power was next in line ? Has she actually taken over the chair ? " I smirked as she paled . " What could you possibly wield over all of us this time ? " She stuttered . " I'm an alpha in my own right . " She sneered before she turned back to Sterling . " You're just a guard .

" I snorted . "He is a royal gamma . " I cut a look at her out the side of my eyes . " You do realize that , right ? " "He's a gamma . " She sneered . " A royal one . " I turned to face her . "I have the distinct feeling you don't understand the difference . " Sterling crossed his arms . " Not many do . " He looked her up and down . " I am as polite as I am because of my position . But you have run my patience dry , Alpha Nina . " She snarled . " You don't get to talk to me like that .

" She pointed to his face . "Royal pack or not , you are a lowly gamma , barely a step up from being unranked . You are pathetic . " I threw my head back and laughed as Sterling's face settled in cold, calculating lines . She whirled on me . " Why are you laughing ? " " Because you are stupider than I had originally thought . " I strode to Sterling's side . " You were so obsessed with Rowan , only to get tossed away . And now you are here , insulting his guard and friend .

" She looked between us . " You're bluffing . He's just a gamma ! " She shrieked at me . 1/3 " I honestly think you never pay attention in school . " She growled , but stayed silent . " Let me spell it out for you . " She crossed her arms and waited . But I could tell on her face that she didn't expect me to say anything of importance . " Go on then . " She smirked . " Tell me how important this gamma is . " I smirked . " What do you know of the royal pack ? " " They no longer exist .

It was the Lycan pack , but they are all dead . So the king filled it with random wolves . " She looked at me with wide eyes and a snarky grin . I nodded . " I mean , you are sort of right . " She looked smug . " But I mean not really . " Her smile dropped . "There have always been wolves in the royal pack . It's not just lycans . And those wolves that he ' filled ' the pack with weren't random . But wolves he's trusted , trained , and grown to care about .

Any of them in any position with rank means that he specifically selected them for the position because he is the alpha of the pack , as well as the king . " She rolled her eyes . " So. " " So … " I snorted . " Sterling is Rowan's friend , a close friend to be selected to guard his home . " I looked back at Sterling , and he nodded . " Did I get it right ? " He looked down at me and smiled . " Almost . " My smile dropped .

" I don't normally bring this up because it doesn't matter , but my family has always been in the royal pack , because I'm Rowan's cousin . Sadly , I didn't get the Lycan gene . I was raised with him his entire life . " Then he turned back to Nina . " Lowly gamma and all that aside , Rowan is y brother . And you have been told you aren't allowed here anymore . If you come here again , I will push for your family to be excommunicated fully . "
