All Chapters of Shifted Fate: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

I finished getting dress as someone knocked on my door. I walked over, still wrapping my hair in a towel, and cracked it open. Toya pushed a wine glass into my hand and stepped in before closing the door. “What’s wrong?” I sat down on my bed and took a sip. I knew Toya she had something on her mind and she came in here to talk it out, before bringing in the others. “I’ve been thinking about what you said…about the first families.”I nodded. “What about it?”“What if you’re right? What if we were all pushed together by the gods we descended from and now we are here?” She paced the room.“What if we were?” I shrugged and took another sip. “Does that bother you?”“It doesn’t bother you? We were pushed together, forced to be in each other’s lives, and now we are here.” She faced me. “Do we not get free will?”I eyed her as I took another longer drink this time. “Do you not like being friends with me?”She sucked her teeth. “Of course I do.”I tilted my head. “Are you unhappy with the ot

Toya jumped over the table at me but I was ready. She shifted her hands as she tried to tackle me, but I jumped out of the way. She sailed past me and I wrapped my hands into her braids and yanked her back. She flew off her feet with a snarl. “I’ll kill you.” She snarled again, but I was already moving. I slammed her to the ground as I slipped my hand into the bag Micca brought down. I pulled the first length of rope out and turned to the girls. They had grabbed Micca by the arms and were holding her. “Get her into a chair.” I called back to them and slid a spool of rope to them. “Tie her too it.” Toya tried to slice at my throat. Whatever had eaten away at her was digging in deep, removing any and all love she had for me, and left only anger and fear. I pulled my hand back and punched her as hard as I could without breaking anything, dazing her. “Amy…” Hanna looked back at Toya. “Are you sure?” I could see the doubt trying to push forward, but she shook her head again. I watched he

I watched her face away, back into the trees, before I turned and faced the glass. I pressed my hands against it, and instead of a solid wall I thought I was going to find, I felt in push in almost as if it was a bubble. I forced myself deeper, pushing farther in, causing the bubble to cave in. Every step I took in the harder the bubble pushed back against me. It was fighting back, refusing to let me enter, and that just made me question what the hell was going on. This made no sense. Toya’s defenses were blocking my entry, but that made zero sense. I wasn’t here to hurt her, and even though something was attacking her, her mind should know I was safe to allow in. That Urbi was safe to allow in. I pulled back, gathering my strength and my magic to me, and then I slammed against the bubble. It fought back, pushing be back, but I used my magic like a knife, slicing through the force field and finally stumbling out of the trees. I turned back and I could see the edge of the invisible b

“No!” She screamed as she tried to turn away, but I held her securely in my hands as her disguise dropped again. I watched as her blonde hair turned a soft golden brown, somewhere between the dark of Amara and the light of Aurora. Her brown eyes settled again, starkly different from the bright blue of the twins. But her face, her face was similar, and I wanted to smack myself from not realizing it sooner. “Well now. Fancy seeing you again so soon.” I looked at Toya over my shoulder. She stepped closer, a snarl on her lips. “You did this?” Toya was furious. The woman laughed on her knees, but she wrenched away from me. “Yes. And why not?” She snarled as she turned on me. “Amy fucking deserves everything to be ripped from her. Her father is dead.” She laughed. “Soon her mother will become a brood mare for someone she hates.” I snarled this time, and she chuckled. “So I took a shot to turn her friends on her. And it would have worked. If it wasn’t for the fact, you are all too close.”

“You’re lying.” She whispered as she stumbled back a step.“Am I?” I tapped a finger on my lips. “Have you mated? Have you kissed? Has he ever touched you other than what was necessary? Or has he been politely affectionate? Holding your hand, patting your head, and keeping a distinct distance between the two of you.” I was playing with her head. Contorting the facts to suit my narrative better, but it was doing what I wanted it to. It was making her weaker. Toya snorted. “I bet he hasn’t even done that. He has probably told her they need to keep space until they have bonded to keep her honour intact.” She smiled, and it was vicious. “I bet you that at the graduation it was the first time Rowan allowed her to even touch him.”She shook her head. “You’re lying.” But her voice betrayed her.“You think he is the puppet, but in fact, you are.” I laughed, bending at my waist. “You’re lying.” She shrieked again. “You are trying to turn me against him.”I wiped my tears as I stood back up.
