Shifted Fate Chapter 649

Amy.” My mother admonished me, but I ignored her.

I stood on shaky legs and stepped over my mate. My dad’s eyes stayed on me, and that pissed me off. “Look at him.” I growled, pointing at Rowan’s body. My father shook his head, tears falling down his cheeks. “I SAID LOOK AT HIM!” I screamed as I stomped over to him. Instead of listening to me, his eyes followed me.

“Amy…please.” He tried to grab my hand, but I grabbed him by the throat. I pulled him to his feet while people around me started to yell.

Uncle Ronnie came to my side. “Amy, ladybug, you can’t kill your dad. When the anger fades, you will hate yourself.” He was the only smart one.

I turned to him with a sad smile. “I know Uncle Ronnie. I’m not trying to kill him.” I felt the edges of my smile quiver. “I just need him to see what he’s done.” I swung around, pulling my father with me. I forced his head down to look at Rowan’s body. “Do you see him?” Fresh, hot tears cut rivers down my bloodstained cheeks.” Aurora stabbed him in his heart, but you are at fault.”

He shook his head. “No.” He tried to deny it. I released him, and he stumbled back a step. “I didn’t do this.”

“Let’s tick off everything you did wrong that caused my mate’s death.” I lifted one finger. “You chased your mate away because you thought you knew better.” I lifted another. “Then in your own anger you allowed your pack to fester, having unranked members bully others. You allowed Aurora into your pack without vetting her. You allowed her to run free and torment weaker members. You allowed her close enough to put a spell on you.” I waved my hand in his face, all five fingers up. “And I’m not even done listing.” He shook his head, denying it, and something inside my chest snapped. I balled my fist and struck. I had never hit my father with my full power until this moment, and when his head snapped to the side, I felt nothing. Not relief, not anger, I felt nothing towards the man I knew deep down I still loved. I turned away as my mother screamed, but my dad grabbed my hand.

“I’m sorry.”

His words were soft. “I deserved that.” I looked at him, and I could see in his eyes that he wasn’t mad. His eyes were filled with regret.

“Gavin.” My mom tried to argue, but he shook his head.

“She’s right, Ainsley.” He looked at me and slowly let go. “I deserved it. I deserved much more than that.”

I walked back over to my mate, and I dropped beside him. There was something I needed to know before I made my final decision. “Grandma…” She must have heard something in my voice because she shook her head.

“No.” She refused to meet my eyes.

“Please.” I grabbed her hand. “I need to know.” She shook her head.

But it was Toya who dropped down across from me, grabbing Carly. “Amy, you can’t.”

I turned to her, and I struggled to find the words. “I know you all would watch over her.” I bit my lip as I turned back to my grandmother. “Can the spell survive if I die?”

My grandmother stared at me for a few seconds, silver tears falling from her cheeks. “I don’t know.”

“Then who would?” I squeezed her hand.

She gripped my hand back. “The goddesses, maybe. Or the gods you bound the spell with.” I nodded once and closed my eyes.

“Am

hid you from taking your own life.” My mother snarled.

Chople 640

I opened my eyes, and she reeled back. “You don’t get to tell me what to do anymore.”

She stammered. “I’m your mother.”

“AND I’M YOUR QUEEN.” I screamed, my pain and anger rearing its head. The group surrounding us went quiet. I am not asking your permission to do anything.” 1 glared at her. “You may be my mother, but you are not blameless here. You knew.” She stumbled against my father’s chest. “I am not stupid enough to believe that once you and Daddy started talking again that he didn’t come clean to you. That’s why you wanted me to read the letters. That’s why you were pushing me to forgive Rowan. Not because you liked him, but because you were trying to undue all the damage your mate caused me. Your child.” I snarled again, Nix and Megan’s anger twirling with mine. “Now you will forgive me as I fucking ignore what you want.” I closed my eyes. “Selene…Hecate…I know you are watching. I have given you everything I had. I have given you two lives. I have devoted myself to following everything you have asked.” I took a moment to swallow my pain. Carly’s tiny hand slid into mine, and I failed. A sob broke free. “I just want to know.” I looked down at Carly, and she smiled.

“It’s okay momma. I understand.” She smiled as her eyes grew red and tears fell. “You will visit with Daddy still right?” She understood. This little girl who had lost everything was understanding my pain, but my own selfish parents couldn’t.

“I don’t know.” Selene’s voice was soft.

“You made the spell with other gods. So we would need to check with them, but if the spell was with me, the answer would be no. The spell would fail as soon as your souls took flight.” Hecate’s voice was matter of fact, but when I looked at her, I saw black–tinted tear tracks on her face.

“You’re crying.” I sounded surprised.

“You’re my daughter, and you are in pain. Of course I’m crying.” She gave me a sad smile. Her words were meant to support me, but they just made me realize the difference.

I turned to glare at my mother. I pointed to the goddess. “This is what love looks like when you don’t taint it with your own agenda.” 1
