Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 531

There was silence in the office. Then Vince spoke up. “Garith, I don’t think that is really necessary.” He tried to push back, but Garith was having none of it.

“Pick boy.” There was an edge to his voice.

“I would listen to my father, Brandon. It’s not the end of the world mating the girl, is it?' She sighed. “I mean, look at your father. He still has his fun.” There was a pause. “Matings don’t have to be this sacred thing that some people make it out to be. Sometimes it’s just a way to leverage your position.”

“Leverage my position?”

Verity murmured an agreement. “Yeah. You use this one to entice others. When they see your bond isn’t something held in reverence that others are, it will give the stupid ones the idea that they could win you over, and they can become luna.” She laughed. “But keeping this one around might be better than you think.”

“How is that even possible?” Brandon sounded like a whiny toddler. I sneered where I stood.

“She is ambitious. But also dumb. She will do whatever she can to keep her spot as luna.”

Brandon was quiet for a moment. “Like my mother.”

Vince laughed this time. “Exactly. She has her uses. And she looks the other was instead of getting angry about the other women.”

I could hear Brandon’s tiny brain ticking away from here. I just shook my head. I wasn’t learning anything here, and I went to move on, but there I head Rowan’s name.

“Did Rowan actually send a response to the invite?” Garith growled out.

Verity sighed. “He isn’t going to actually show up.” She moved across th4e room, her voice fading away as she moved. “Believe me, he has been locked up in his office, knee deep in reports of the rogues and their attacks. He’s trying to map out their plan.” SHe laughed.

“I don’t know why you think that’s so funny.” Morgan sounded aggravated. He probably didn’t like how Verity was talking about Shannon. “If he figures out that every attack happens to a pack that lives by the caves, then we are fucked.”

Verity laughed again. “Who would think that all those caves are connected?”

The caves…

“There’s no one around.” I breathed slowly out and closed my eyes in relief.

Nix snorted. She couldn’t feel us. You would think that her power would recognize ours.

Luna Brittney came around the corner. “The ceremony is in five minutes. You all have to get to you spots.”

Brandon turned to Vince. “I don’t want to do this.”

Vince opened his mouth but Garith stepped up to Brandon and clapped him on his shoulder. “You either do this…or I kill you for ruining the brotherhood’s plans and your parents have another pup to start over.”
