Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 542

“Derek!” Brandon tried to run to him, but Garith just laughed.

“Are you stupid, boy? Or do you not listen? Everyone is frozen.” Garith shook his head.

“Save him!” Brandon screamed his frustration at losing his friend, but Garith just chuckled.

“No.”

“No?” Brandon’s face fell for a second. “What do you mean, no?”

Garith lifted a shoulder. “Well…No is a word people use when they are denying a request. Which is what I am doing.”

“But why?” Brandon sounded like a little boy.

“Well. There are a few reasons. The first is that he is too far gone to save. The second is that he brought this on himself. He tortured this girl; it’s obvious. While I love a good torture session, he made the mistake of letting her live.” He leaned down to look Derek in the face again. “If you torture someone to the point their mind shatters, like this girl, then kill the person. Or else you end up here if you aren’t lucky. And last, I think this is an excellent lesson for you to learn, boy.” Garith turned to Brandon. “You won’t be able to rely on anyone but yourself going forward. You have spent too many years relying on this imbecile. And look where that has gotten you? You are mated to a she-wolf who is clingy, unranked, and carries herself as an Alpha. The delusion in this pack is insane.” He sat back again. “The boy deserves to die for thinking his rank would save him in this exact scenario.”

Brandon’s voice dropped low. “I will kill you.” He was staring at Garith. Shannon and Vince both whimpered softly. I think the sound woke him up, because Brandon turned to Lynn and snarled. “I swear it here and now, I will kill you.”

Lynn just smiled. “Stupid boy. I died the minute he touched me. Nothing you can do will change that.” She cackled. If I hadn’t known any better, I would have sworn she was crazy.

She’s playing them to think she was alone in this. Megan whispered. She thinks we are going to leave her to die.

Well, she is as stupid as Brandon is. Nix huffed. I agreed. She wasn’t going to be left behind. Never again.
