Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617

Both Rowan and I turned to my dad. “A spell attacking our bond?” Rowan’s voice was soft. “Who is still alive with nic?”

I shook my head. “Everyone I have known so far is dead.” I blew out a breath. “Looks like we aren’t out of the woods yet.”

My dad snorted. “We are never out of the woods, pup.” He nodded towards the bowl still in my hands. “Are you ready?”

I nodded. “Can you give us a minute?” I asked my parents to go ahead.

“Of course, baby.” My mom kissed my cheek as she skirted past us down the stairs, and my father clapped Rowan on the shoulder as he stepped past us.

I snapped a barrier into place. Rowan lifted one brow, and I shrugged. “I don’t want anyone to hear what we have to say, and I don’t know who we should trust.” He bobbed his head, agreeing with me. “Are we okay?” I hated how insecure I sounded.

He stared at me for a second and blew out a breath. “Was it truly magic? Or do you secretly not want to be my Luna?”

I panicked and dropped the bowl, reaching for him. Rowan, thankfully, was fast enough to catch it before it hit the ground. And my arms ended around the neck. I pulled him towards me, causing him to stumble. “I love you. I know I probably don’t say it

enough, but I do. I have loved you since before my first heat. I have spent the last few years hating how much I loved you. I want to spend every day for the rest of my life loving you.” He looked at me, and I could see a small ember of worry still there. “I will

be your Luna from now until the end of time. No one else’s in this life or any that come after. I’m sorry I made you feel like that’s

not how I feel.”

His eyes searched my face, as if he were searching for the truth, and then his eyes closed and panic jumped up my throat again.

But he took a deep breath. “I’m sorry.” He shook his head. “The spell seems to cling.” His eyes opened, and the devotion I saw there settled my nerves. “I love you too, rabbit.” He kissed me. “Now…let’s go down there and figure this out. We can worry about who is using magic against us after.”

I nodded. “Let’s go.” I grabbed the bowl from him and turned to head down the stairs, but stopped at the secret room with the

weapons. I pushed in and grabbed a few things.

“Silver?” I thought he was going to question why I would need it, but he just grabbed a needle and a bottle of liquid.

I tilted my head. “Yeah, I figured I would start with regular torture before moving on with magic.” He snorted and pulled off the top of the bottle he grabbed. He gave it a sniff before he jerked his head back and sneezed. I laughed. “That’s wolfsbane, you

fool.”

Rowan rubbed his nose and put the cap back on the wolfsbane. “I read it, but I wanted to see how strong it was.” He looked at

me with a curious stare. “Why does your father have pure wolfsbane here?”

I grabbed a few more things and nodded toward the door. “Because he doses my food with it.”

“The fuck? What do you mean he dosed your food with it?” He growled as she stormed out the door, leaving me to follow.

“I mean, he took the time to build up my resistance to it gently so that no one could use it against me.” I bumped his shoulder as I passed him. “Calm down, butthead. It saved me more than you can imagine.” I headed down the stairs to the secret cells, bypassing the regular cells filled with the guards.

Rowan paused at the top of the hidden staircase and looked down the other corridor. “Aren’t we going that way?” He pointed towards the screams coming from the other cells.

I shook my head. “That’s only the guards, and Greyson is handling them. We are headed to the VIP section of my dad’s jail.” I

continued down the stairs.

“The VIP section?” Rowan snorted.

I looked back at him with a smile. “All the big shots end up down here.” I laughed as I turned the corner. I went into the first interrogation room that my father said held Theo, and the room went quiet. My mom and dad were leaning against the wall by the door, and Theo was in his chair, still gagged. “Don’t stop on my account.”

My dad snorted. “We can’t ungag him because he will kill himself. We were debating the best way to prevent that.” I dropped everything in my arms onto the table and arranged it all.
