Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461

There was silence on the line. Then she sighed. “Fine, but you netter be heading here tonight.”

“I am, I promise.” I sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Like a light switch, her anger was gone, and it was replaced by her worry.

“I have to call the King.” I felt the pit in my stomach open.

“Oh, sweetie.” I could feel her amusement through the phone, but she kept it in check. “It will be fine. You act like you are

walking to your execution.”

I rubbed my eyes and pinched my nose. “Because I am. Do you not remember the other night?”

“I do, and I think you are going to be perfectly fine.” She sighed. “I love you. Make the call. Go see Vince. Wrap up your work and

then come home.”

“Will do.” I sighed. “Love you.” Then I hung up the phone. I looked at my call log and grimaced. I saw Rick’s name and jumped at

the chance. I dialed him.

“Hey…is everything okay?” He sounded worried, but also out of breath.

“Yeah…are you okay?”

“Yeah.” He blew out a breath. “Got an alert. Someone is hacking into the system. So I’m getting my shoes on to head back to the

office.”

“Please daddy, stay.” I heard the soft cough from Abby and my heart clenched.

“I’ll do it.”

He scoffed. “You are in the hospital.”

I put the phone between my shoulder and my chin. “I’m done. They are bandaging me upright as we speak. I’ll handle the breech,

I’ll have enough time to get there.”

He was considering it. “Fine. When you are done, wrap up any open tickets you might have, and then forward me the rest. I

assume you are leaving tonight?”

I grinned. “Right after our dinner. But I have a few odds and ends to tie up around here first. How much time do you think I’ll

have before it’s critical?”

He paused for a few seconds. “An hour or two. But the faster you get there, the better.”

“Of course.” I pushed my laptop into my bag as a plan formed in my mind. “I have to run for a few things for dinner, and if I

handle work first, I won’t be able to get it all done.”

“Fine, just make sure you message me when you’re finished.”

“Will do, boss man. Hey…Can you grab Alannah and Ternen for the dinner? They are coming over to do laundry.”

He snorted. “Yeah.” Then he sighed. “I think I’ll miss you.”

I laughed then. “I know.” I hung up and then the nurse walked in. She had been flitting in and out, cleaning up with blood, tray,

and floor, while I was talking to Rick and my mom.

“Are you ready?” She nodded to my blood covered chest. She squinted. “We had to cut your bra…so the doctor handed me a top

for you. He figured you would be more comfortable with me handling this part.”

I nodded. Smart man. “It’s fine.” I waved her over and then hissed. “But I thought he was going to wrap me.”

She nodded. “I’m going to clean you up and I found an extra tensor for your chest. He will come in after you’re fully covered

again.” She coughed. “He’s been forbidden from seeing you without being covered.” She looked up and smiled. “Someone called

the office a minute ago and demanded it.”

I groaned. “Oh, gods.” She giggled. “Do you mind if I take a call while you do this?”

She smiled. “Go ahead. Luke got yelled at enough that I figured as much.”

I groaned again. “Man.” I grabbed my phone and hit Rowan’s name and clicked speakerphone.

When he answered, he was calm…too calm. “Hello Amy.”

“My King, you are on speaker and we are not alone.” I got that out before he let out a slow growl. “I’m assuming you heard I was

attacked?”

He chuckled, but it was dark. “Oh. You assumed right.” His voice was a deep rumble.

“Well… I guess you already know. So we can skip that.” I tried to move on, but he let out a small growl.

“No.”

“No?” I stopped short.

“No. We are not glossing over your attack. What happened?”

I felt my mouth drop open, and the nurse laughed. I glared at her, but she just shrugged. “He wants to know.”

“See…who is that?” He asked.

“Jenn Morals. I’m Alpha Amy’s nurse.”

“See Amy. Jenn understands. So just tell me.”

I rolled my eyes, but blew my lips. “Fine. Brandon was cheating on me with Shannon. She told the pack that our mating ceremony, in a week, was actually theirs. I told him to figure out who he wanted to be with. They both came to my house last night, and in front of the pack, he sided with her. Then he showed up in my office and pretended like it had never happened. I

simply asked him if he had brain damage. Rick, my boss, laughed. He lept across the table and attacked me.”
