Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 463

I limped into the pack house. Every step was a struggle because I still refused Nix and Megan’s offer to heal me. I needed to smell of antiseptic and blood.

You are as dumb as Rowan is. Nix growled as I forced myself up the stairs. I walked slower than I needed to, but I really needed the pack to start gossiping.

An omega came over and offered his hand. “Thank you, Jeffrey.” I gasped as he walked me up the stairs.

His smile was soft. “You remembered my name?”

I smiled back at him. “Of course I did. You brought me my lunch a few times.” He nodded. “Why wouldn’t I remember your name, then?”

“Most Alpha’s wouldn’t.” He whispered it, like it was a secret.

I just laughed. “I’m not like other alphas.” The laugh forced me to pause, so I could cough. Blood spewed from my mouth but I wiped it off with my shirt.

“Are you okay?” His voice was soft, worried.

I nodded. “I just need to get to my office to get the last of my work done.”

“Last of your work done? Are you going somewhere?”

I nodded again and then started up the stairs again. I let my chin wobble a bit. “I am. I got approval to transfer out of the pack.” He gasped beside me.

“Why?” His hands tightened on me. “I know the omegas here were looking forward to having you as our luna. And now you’re leaving?”

I sighed and took a pause as we made it to the top of the stairs. “I can’t stay here, Jeffrey. Shannon is going to be your luna and I can’t stay here and watch it happen.” I was laying it on thick, but I needed him to spread it around.

“When are you leaving?” His question was pained.

I blinked, forcing a tear to drop. “Tonight.” I turned to him. “Can you do me a favor?”

I was bent over the keyboard when Vince stormed into the outer office. Panic bubbled below the surface as I looked at the laptop and saw that it was only about halfway done.

“Where is she?” He screamed, assuming Rick was in the office.

My eyes danced from the door to the screen. Fifty-seven percent. Fuck.

The door slammed open to Rick’s office, and there was a silence. I moved my laptop closer to my work computer, so the screen was completely hidden from the doorway right before the door opened.

“Hello.” I called out. My eyes stayed focus on the screen, as if the attack was harder than it actually was.

Vince stared silently at me. “You are here?”

I looked down at myself and then back up at him. He flinched when he saw my face. “Yeah…”
