Chapter 24: HE RUINED MY LIFE
Last Updated:
2025-04-26 15:16:30KADE’S POV
I thundered into the pack house like a storm cloud. The guards at the door flinched as they bowed, and I barely registered their show of respect.
“Where’s my grandfather?” My voice was tight with barely restrained anger.
They glanced at each other warily before one of them answered. “He’s in his room, Alpha.”
I headed to the back of the building—the annex that belonged to my grandfather. As I went, my mind reeled with all the questions I had for him.
When had he contacted Andrea?
Why had he contacted Andrea?
What the hell did he say to Andrea?
I slammed his door open, startling him from his position on the couch in his room. Since I got engaged to Natasha, my grandfather stopped going to Hunting Festivals, since his goal had apparently been fulfilled.
He put the book he was reading down and raised a brow.
“Can I help you?” he asked calmly, clea

BECK’S POVThere aren’t that many ways to become an Alpha. You’re either born an Alpha, or you marry into an Alpha’s family.Mating with Tiana should’ve been my ticket to shedding my second-rate position as a Beta and becoming the Alpha I deserved to be.But Tiana had sisters, and her father, the Alpha of their pack, Silver Blood, was not impressed enough with me to hand over the Alpha role to me.It didn’t matter that Tiana was the firstborn, and by right, her mate should be the Alpha. Her father cared about bullshit like proving myself.It pissed me off to no end, but what could I do?If I wanted to win my future father-in-law’s blessing—and his title, I had to pull out the big guns.And what was bigger than allying myself with the newest, most powerful Alpha in town?My first choice would have been the Alpha of Obsidian howl, but due to his messy history with my ex, Andrea, and that embarrassing spiel at the banquet hall a while back, I figured that Kade Nightshade wasn’t very like

KADE’S POV“Which would you prefer, a spring, summer, fall, or winter wedding?” Natasha asked, scrolling through her phone.I rolled my eyes, shoving a huge piece of steak in my mouth so I didn’t have to answer her question. She’d been asking me the same question for five years. I don’t know why she thought now that my grandfather, the entire catalyst for this relationship, was out of the way, I’d suddenly decide I was ready to marry her.She was lucky I didn’t call off the engagement right there and then.As I chewed and ignored Natasha, my eyes roamed around the restaurant we were in. It had a warm, upscale vibe with soft lighting, elegant table settings, and a cozy, family-friendly section that seamlessly fit into the romantic ambiance.In addition to couples out on dates, there were families with little kids of various ages.Natasha chose the restaurant, and I think she did that intentionally to plant the notion of children in my head. Little did she know the storm my mind was in

ANDREA’S POVI just wanted a nice, quiet dinner out with my babies.Why the fuck was Kade Nightshade everywhere I turned? As if that wasn’t enough, now his intolerable fiancée was thrown into the mix, too.“What the hell is going on here?” Natasha repeated.I rolled my eyes, unwilling to get into anything with her.I tightened my grip on Matteo and Luca. “Come on, boys.”I started to move, but Natasha moved, too, blocking our exit.Her eyes looked down, taking in my children, and they widened. She looked from the twins to Kade, and my heart rate sped up.Did she see the resemblance? All Matteo and Luca took from me were my eyes—all their other features were Kade’s, and anyone perceptive enough could see that. It seemed that Natasha, for all her shallow, vapidness, had a working brain between her ears.I moved, blocking my children from her view. “Would you like to move out of the way, or would you prefer I threw you out of the way?” I asked, forcing my voice to be calm.Natasha looked

ANDREA’S POVBefore I headed to check the person I'd hit, I opened the back door and inspected Matteo and Luca closely, making sure they were completely fine.“Does it hurt anywhere?” I asked, unhooking their seatbelt in case the pressure was too much.“We're fine, mommy,” they said.“Are you sure?”They looked like they were coming down from the shock, which was good. They nodded, and I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. They were my entire world; if anything happened to them, I would lose my mind.“Stay here,” I instructed before closing the door.I headed over to the person. As I moved closer, I saw that it was a man. He was still on all fours, and his head was bowed.All I could see was a head of blond hair, and I felt a sense of foreboding.“I'm so sorry I didn't see you in time,” I said carefully, even though he was the one who had run out into the street suddenly.The road was still busy. Cars swerved past us, honking in irritation.I heard him curse, and my hear

ANDREA'S POVSafe to say, after the disturbing events, I didn't sleep well last night.I kept tossing and turning, and I lost track of how often I got up to check up on the twins.I had the irrational fear that Kade would swoop in in the middle of the night and take them away.I was glad when morning came. Luca and Matteo didn't seem to have any lingering trauma from the night before.They chattered excitedly as I fixed them some cereal.“Can we go exploring?” Luca asked excitedly.I thought of all the less-than-ideal things that had happened to the twins every time we stepped out of the hotel room and winced.“How about we stay in today?” I said. “We could watch movies all day and stuff our faces with candy and ice cream.”Their eyes widened. “Really?”I nodded. “Really!”Just then, there was a knock on the door.“Ooh, that must be Zayne here to play,” I said as I stood up from the small dining space we were at.I headed to the suite door and opened it.My eyes widened when I beheld

ANDREA’S POVIt took me exactly one minute to run from the Starbucks back to the hotel and up four flights of the emergency stairs to my suite. It was the longest one minute of my life.I stopped at the door, panting harshly. My heart was racing a hundred miles a minute, and it wasn’t because of the physical exertion.My babies were missing.Zayne was on the phone when I burst the door open.“Andrea—”“Matteo!” I roared, heading straight for their room. The door was open, and the room was exactly as we’d left it when they tumbled out of bed this morning.“Luca!”I rushed to my own room. The door was open, too, and I heard Zayne say, “I’ve searched the suite from top to bottom, Andrea.”I ignored him, unable to think clearly. I searched the bathroom, the balcony, the dining, I even opened the tiny mini fridge on the off chance that my children had shrunk, instead of disappeared.“Where are they?” I asked, Zayne, panting harshly. “Where are my babies?!”Zayne shook his head, his face tw

ANDREA’S POVI never thought the day would come when I would so desperately ask Kade Nightshade for help.But my babies were missing, so all bets were off.He looked slightly shocked that I had actually asked him for help, but he schooled his face into a serious expression.He pulled his phone out of his pocket. “I’ll need detailed descriptions of both of them. I have contacts all over New York. We’ll find them in no time.”“No!” I grabbed his hand, stopping his movements.Kade raised an eyebrow in question, and I shook my head. “I can’t have their details exposed. It’ll draw too much attention to them; it’s not safe.”He scoffed. “Right, as opposed to right now when they’re safe and sound.”I growled at him. “Does now seem like a good fucking time for sarcasm?”“Fine,” he huffed. “If you don’t want me to use my resources, how do you suggest we find them?”I ran my hands through my wild mane, groaning in frustration.Sighing, Kade shoved his phone back in his pocket. He grabbed my arm

BECK’S POV“No!” Luca screamed, kicking his little feet. He made contact with the bowl of cereal and sent it clattering to the floor. “I don’t want Lucky Charms, I want my mommy!”I rolled my eyes and stood to my feet. “Yeah, you little shit. I want your mommy, too.”The little bastard and his twin glared at me, and I rolled my eyes again. Neither one of them had shed a single tear since I’d taken them from their hotel suite six hours ago.It had been ridiculously easy to take them, too. All I needed was a signal jammer to mess with the security cameras. Stealing the room key from the front desk had only been a little tricky.Silly Katie was lucky the cameras had been down, or she would’ve been fired when it was discovered that the key was stolen on her watch.Getting them out was a combination of chloroform spray and an unattended cleaning cart.It was after they woke up in an abandoned cabin in the woods that things got frustrating. I’d found the cabin a long time ago when I was run

ZAYNE’S POVAnyone who knew my story would probably shake their head at me and brand me a fool.Andrea had clearly rejected me before. Now, she smelled like another male, and I wasn’t stupid; I knew what that meant.Yet, here I was, offering myself up to her again.Honestly, I didn’t understand it myself. When I’d first met Andrea, back when she was with that scumbag, Beck, I’d felt an instant connection.I was never going to come between her and Beck, and truthfully, I was content with being her friend.Then they broke up, and she got pregnant and was suddenly moving to Italy. I didn’t even have to think about it for a second before I decided I was moving with Andrea. The decision felt natural—like the abnormal thing was if I stayed behind.And over the last five years, as we’d gone through thick and thin together, I’d felt our bond grow stronger and stronger between us.Somedays, it felt like love and other days, it was a fierce need to be by her side and protect her at all times.

Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 40: CHECK
ANDREA’S POVI spent an unholy amount of time in the shower.I scrubbed and scrubbed, harder than I think I’d ever scrubbed in my life. I wanted the scent of Kade off me. I wanted to stop feeling the print of his hands on my skin and the weight of his body on mine.I stood under the sprays till the hot water ran out and freezing droplets ran over my skin.“Mommy!” Luca banged against the bathroom door. “I have to pee.”I sighed, turning off the tap.“Hold on, hon!” I called back out.I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel.When I had wrapped it around myself, I opened the bathroom door, letting Luca in.“Can you help me unbuckle my belt?” he asked innocently.I smiled, leaning down. “Sure.”As I unhooked his belt buckle, he sniffed my hair and giggled. “You smell like daddy—and Aunty Nora.”I stiffened, resisting the urge to run back into the shower and scrub till my skin bled.I cleared my throat. “I thought you didn’t like the idea of a new daddy,” I asked Luca.He shrugged
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 39: KADE’S SCENT
ANDREA’S POVWaking up in Kade’s arms to the sound of my phone ringing was like de ja vu. Especially when the caller ID showed Zayne.My eyes widened as I answered the call. I was only supposed to have gone out for a short walk, and instead, I’d spent the entire day and night out.“Shit, Zayne, I’m so sorry,” I whispered into the phone, gently pulling out of Kade’s grasp. “I lost track of time, and—” I paused. I couldn’t possibly tell the man who I knew was in love with me that I’d left him to watch my kids while I fucked my ex all night.“None of that matters, Drea,” Zayne said, his voice slightly panicked.Ice filled my veins. “What happened?”He swore. “I swear I didn’t let them out of my sight. I even slept in the room with them, but then I woke up, and they were gone.”“What?” I felt lightheaded.“The twins aren’t in the hotel.”“Fuck!” I hissed, climbing out of bed. My dress was hanging over the chair in Kade’s room, and I grabbed it. As I hurriedly threw it on, my heart pounded
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 38: AGAIN
KADE’S POVIt was a miracle that Andrea and I made it back to the Alpha compound with our sanity intact. I’d Shifted back to Jaxon, and Andrea had ridden me all the way back, and as we went, the only thing I could think about was all the other ways I wanted her to ride me.All I could think about, all that consumed my mind, was having Andrea again.When I stumbled upon her in the woods, it was like a gift from the goddess. Jaxon had been wandering aimlessly, desperately fighting the effects of the aphrodisiac Natasha had drugged me with.But then I saw Andrea, and all those heightened feelings exploded. I didn’t know what was going on with her but thank the goddess that she didn’t reject me. If she had, I might have died right there and then.And then, right after that, I wanted more. And then more. It was like the more I got of Andrea, the more I wanted.I was so glad that when we got back to the Alpha compound, Natasha was nowhere to be found. If she’d still been around, I might hav
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 37: MORE
ANDREA’S POVI hung up the phone with a heavy sigh and sank into the chair in the living room of our new suite.My parent’s words weighed heavily on my mind, and although we’d had similar conversations like that in the past, this time, it weighed heavier.My mom’s final words kept replaying over and over again in my mind: “What about Zayne? He would make a perfect mate, and he would never hurt you.”I knew that. I knew that the last thing Zayne would do in this life was hurt me. But that didn’t mean I wanted to be his mate.I groaned, leaning back into the couch. It made no sense. Zayne truly was perfect—he was handsome, smart, fiercely loyal, hell, he could even cook. Any woman in their right mind would choose him in a heartbeat.I guess I wasn’t in my right mind.Despite all the hurt I had been through, I was still a hopeless romantic. Although choosing Zayne was the logical, sensible thing to do, I couldn’t help wanting to be with someone who made me…feel.Someone who made my heart
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 36: ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOT
KADE’S POVI didn’t have Andrea’s number. How the fuck did I not have Andrea’s number?‘Shift again,’ Jaxon pressed. ‘We’ll find her the way we found the twins.’I shook my head, plopping down onto my bed. ‘No.’“Why?”‘Because she ran!’ I snap.I told her I was coming back, yet she left without informing me of her whereabouts. From the hospital, I went straight to her hotel—and found out that she had checked out.I understood why she left. I understood the need to keep her kids safe—but then why did it feel like she was running away from me specifically?I groaned, punching the mattress underneath me. Why was I still so firmly intertwined with Andrea and all her drama? I was supposed to hate this woman; I was supposed to close her out of my life forever.But instead, I ran through New York, looking for her pups. I’d killed her enemy, and now I was losing my mind because I didn’t know where she was.What if a complication had arisen with the twins? What if she was in distress again?‘
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 35: THE PREVIOUS TENANT
ANDREA'S POV“Andrea, you should get some rest.”I shook my head, my eyes never leaving Matteo and Luca for one second.“I'm never leaving their side, ever again.”“They're safe,” Zayne whispered, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Beck is dead. No harm can come to them now.”I sighed. His words were fact, but they didn't feel true. The idea that I had almost lost my babies was like a huge weight on my chest that refused to lift.I had been careless with them, and they’d been taken from me.Never again.I’d moved to a new hotel far away from the old one and checked in under an alias. I would do whatever it took to protect my babies.“Andrea,” Zayne pressed, "it's almost midnight, and you've had the shittiest, longest day ever.”He was right. I was exhausted—more emotionally than physically. So instead of leaving to my own room, I stood, and climbed into bed between Luca and Matteo.They hadn't woken since we left the hospital. The doctors hadn't wanted us to leave, but all the test resul
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 34: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
KADE’S POVThe last thing I wanted to do was leave Andrea and the twins behind, but I was Alpha, which meant my pack came first, and whatever emergency had occurred, it was my duty to deal with it first.I cursed softly. “I have to go.”“Oh,” Andrea looked surprised, and the idea that she had expected me to stay made me want to block the mind link and say to hell with their emergency.“Of course,” she said, standing up. “You’ve done more than enough. Thank you.”I glanced at the twins. “They’ll be fine,” I told her.She smiled, her eyes slightly glassy with tears. “Yeah—thanks to you.”I had the sudden, overwhelming urge to hug her, and I had to take a step back to stop myself.“I should…” I choked up; she looked so vulnerable and gorgeous. “I should go.”She nodded.“I’ll be back,” I heard myself say.Andrea nodded again.I turned away from her, and my gaze snagged on the twins again. I knew they were not mine, and now that they were safe, they were none of my business. Still, leavin
Shifted Fate: The Alpha Begs Me Back Chapter 33: I’M NOT SORRY
KADE’S POVI raced through the woods, straining to detect something—anything that could lead me to the twins.I knew New York was a huge place, and they could’ve been anywhere, but I could also feel in my gut that they were close—somewhere in the interconnected backwoods.Andrea clung tightly to me as we bounded through the woods. I could feel her heart beat furiously against my back. The proximity was driving Jaxon crazy, and it was an effort to focus on the task at hand.The sun was going down, and I hadn’t picked up a viable trail. I wouldn’t stop, though; I would find those kids, no matter what.I could feel Andrea’s panic with every minute that passed without finding them, and it agitated Jaxon. They were not my pups; I shouldn’t have felt so personally invested.But, I did, and—Jaxon skidded to a halt, straining to feel what we’d just felt.“What?” Andrea panted. “Did you feel something?”I lay down, pressing my paws to the ground, tensing. I felt…something. Like a tug on my in
