Shifted Fate (Amy)

Chapter 533

Verity froze for a second as if her brain were processing what Garith had just said. “What did you just say?”

Garith leaned in. “I asked you, who the fuck is Rowan mated to? Did you not notice the blazing mate mark on his neck that he did everything in his fucking power to show OFF!” He screamed the last word.

Verity shrank back from his anger. “I didn’t see. I was too surprised he showed up.”

Garith leaned in. “Well, since you are his fucking fiancée, I would go find out who fucking took your spot,” he growled as he grabbed her arms and pulled her over his lap and forced her out into the aisle. “Now.”

I whispered another spell to listen to the conversation that was about to happen in the front row. I also pulled my phone out discreetly and sent a quick message. “They put some silver in your drink. I neutralized it, but act accordingly when it’s time.‘ I stuffed my phone back into my pocket as Garith looked over his shoulder at me. I straightened my spine and readjusted the tray so it looked like I was struggling a little with it.

“Hey handsome.” I heard Verity whisper as she slid into a seat next to Rowan. She leaned in to kiss him, and I had to hold back my two wolves as a vicious snarl ripped through my mind.

“Don’t touch me.” Rowan’s words had her freezing before she was close enough to touch him.

“What are you talking about?” She played dumb. “I’m your mate.

Awarning rumble came from the front row, and I had to fight the smirk that wanted to dance on my lips. Smart man. Nix settled when she heard his warning.

Rowan turned his head slowly, pulling his shirt collar all the way off his mark, and even from back here I could see the burning white–blue of his eyes. “Do not insult my mate with your lies. You are not one to me except a mistake.”

Brandon and Derek looked at each other and smirked, enjoying the show from their vantage point.

Verity did her best to look wounded. She sat back with a cry and pointed at his neck. “You chose a mate?” Her words got a little louder, pulling the attention of the crowd.

Rowan rolled his eyes, and his fangs descended with a snap. “Are you stupid? Or are you just trying to dig up drama?” He turned to look at her with a wide smile. “Anyone can see that this mark is a goddess–given mate mark. I found my destined mate, not something the council forced me into.” noveldrama

Verity’s hand flew to her mouth. “You found your goddess–given mate?” She looked around. “I thought Lycans only mated Lycans.” She glared at Rowan, and my wolves padded closer to the wall between us.

Kill her. Nix’s voice was low.

Megan settled against the barrier. Or I will.

I sent calming thoughts to my wolves before they ripped out of me and settled this on their own. But it wasn’t working, and I felt a ripple of fur dance down my arms. Rowan looked back and must have caught something in my look or my body because between breaths, Erubus came running from the trees in my mind.

Nix and Megan both leapt up to meet him. Calm down, mates. His Moice was full of laughter as he rubbed both of them. You are struggling because the she–wolf is near me?

Nix growled low. I don’t like it.

Megan snapped his jaws and flashed her fangs. She almost touched you.

Erubus nudged his nose against Nix’s neck and breathed in her scent. I love you, my queens. He turned to Megan. And you, little one, surprise me. Vicious little wolf. He licked her snout before he licked Nix’s. Stop making it difficult for Amy. You and I both know she would never stand by and allow anyone to disrespect our bond.

Nix looked back and forth between him and me, and then nodded, Fine. Go back to your human.

And make sure the whore doesn’t touch you. Or else. Megan growled low, earning another chuckle.

Erubus turned to face her. Keep threatening me, mate, and I might just take you up on the offer. He snapped his teeth next to her neck. A little pain won’t hurt either of us. He ran off, leaving Megan a little wide–eyed.

I laughed in her face. Why are you surprised by that?

I don’t know; it was just unexpected. She shook herself as I turned back to the scene at the front. Vince had walked over and joined the conversation.

“My king, I am so happy to have you join us for my son’s mating ceremony.” Vince shook his hand, and I could see the blazing rune on his forearm.

Son of a bitch.
