Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter Fifty One Chapter Fifty One Hold his hand out .

I pulled it out far enough , and Ronnie looked at me .

What ? Hold his right hand out now .

My father was screaming .

What the fuck are you doing ? Ronnie , if you fucking listen to her I will kill you , He snarled .

His aura tried to come out , but it didnt reach us .

What the hell ? Your dad spelled this cell so that he couldnt make us release him .

He wanted to make sure he wouldnt be a danger to the pack .

I nodded and braced myself .

I pulled his hand out as far as I could and nodded to Ronnie .

He wrapped his hand .

around his arm .

Once he was settled , and he gave me a nod , let go .

I wrestled his hand open , and I pulled the knife from my back pocket .

Amy , what are you doing ? My father fought harder , slamming Ronnies back against the bars .

Do you trust me ? I fought to hold his hand straight as I brought the knife closer .

Of course .

But what are you doing ? If Im right , what I am about to do will not be pretty , but it needs to be done .

What are you talking about ? He pushed back against the bars , but I couldnt hesitate any longer.

I cut into the skin on the back of his hand , peeling it back as I went .

He went crazy .

Screaming , howling and pulling back his hand , but with the two of us holding on , my dad couldnt beat the two of us .

Amy ? Ronnies voice wavered as I continued to cut the skin away .

He will heal.

I need to get this off of him .

I strained as I finished cutting around the sigil .

Then I scrapped the skin away from the muscle and bones underneath .

Ronnie gagged as I worked , but I couldnt think of it .

I couldnt think that this was my father , and I was peeling his skin off .

This was saving him .

That was all I could focus on .

Amy .

He gagged again .

My father used his feet pressed against a few bars , trying to rip his hand from our grasp .

He pushed and screamed , fighting harder , nearly dislocating his arm in his fight to get away from us .

Im almost done .

I finished and ripped the skin from his hand as Ronnie lost the fight and his arm slipped back .

into the cell .

I fell to the ground , clutching the flesh in my hand .

Amy , what the fuck is going on ? Ronnie looked down at the blood that covered him and nearly emptied his stomach again .

Magic .

I stood and walked back over to the bars .

I watched as the skin regrew over my fathers wounds and I breathed in a sigh .

I turned to face Ronnie and checked , but the sigil was truly gone .

I moved the chunk I had in my hand and sure enough , the pink sigil still burned there .

I got what I needed .

Stay here with him .

Im going to finish this , I will call you once its done .

Amy , are you sure ? Yes .

I went to pat his shoulder , but he dodged my bloodied hand .

Im sure .

Let me out of here .

Ronnie walked me up the stairs and released me .

I ran the entire way back to the house and up to my safe .

I grabbed the book of shadows and ran back to the clearing .

Once there , I called to my grandmother .

I looked around , dropping to the ground and waiting , but even after five minutes , I was left alone .

I flipped the Chapter Fifty One book open and went page by page until I found the one I needed .

The reversal of the infatuation spell .

I called out one more time before I realized she wasnt coming .

It was up to me to save my father from this .

I felt the panic bubble inside of me , but both Megan and Nix came closer to the surface , lending me their strength .

We are here .

You can do this .

Nixs smoky voice comforted the and I nodded .

It says I need a fire .

I stood and ran back into the forest , searching for dead wood and twigs , anything that I could use to build a fire .

I have to make it hot enough to destroy both the necklace and the skin .

Heat wont be an issue , keeping it going long enough will be .

Gather a lot of wood .

Megans voice cut in and I nodded to myself .

I made multiple trips , gathering enough wood to burn all night .

Then I grabbed stones I found to create a barrier from the remaining grass .

I didnt want this to get out of hand .

Okay .

I think Im ready .

I barely took a breath as I arranged the stones and placed the dead wood and twigs .

I felt my wolves pull back , and I took a deep breath before I linked myself to my power , gripping the white pot that just budded .

And I flipped to a different page .
