Shifted Fate (by Alicia S Rivers) novel Chapter 635

The surrounding darkness was familiar. I was floating in the abyss of black that I had found myself in once before. I relaxed into it instead of fighting it this time. If I died this time, I only hoped that I had saved my parents.

“You did.” Setene’s voice floated from the distance, and I sighed in relief.

“Good.” I had nobody here, but I still felt my soul release.”

Good.”

“Do you not care about anyone else?” Her voice was curious.

“I do. But I know that Rowan would have fought tooth and nail to save everyone once I was gone.” I chuckled. “He would be heartbroken, but he is a good king, and a better man. He would make sure everyone was safe before he allowed himself to break down over my death.”

“Always so confident.” Hecate’s voice was amused. “I think we may have created a monster, sister.”

Selene laughed, her voice growing closer. “No.” I felt something behind me, but I couldn’t turn, couldn’t move.” We created a queen.” Her voice was next to my ear.

“Are you not sad you are here, daughter?” Hecate’s voice called from further away.

I shook my head, or what felt like my head. “No.” I leanedback into the abyss, allowing my soul to rest. “I did what\ could to protect everyone. To save everyone. I did my best, and that’s all anyone can ask. If I have to die for my parents, I’m okay with it.”

“But you didn’t get to accomplish what you wanted to.”

Selene’s voice was moving as she called to me. “You wanted revenge..didn’t you?”

I felt some anger bubble up. “I did… do.” I corrected myself. “I didn’t get to avenge my pup.” I tried to touch my stomach, but I had no hands here.

“Which pup?” Hecate’s voice held a hint of playfulness that I didn’t understand.

“What do you mean?” I felt my body release, and I could move again. “Carly’s still alive. I don’t need to avenge her… right?” Panic gripped my heart. “Rowan would have protected my pup.”

“He has.” Selene’s hand patted whatever my soul was now, and I felt a jolt of power. “The shaman pup is still alive and safe.”

“I wasn’t talking about her.” Hecate chuckled.

“Hense the glowing silver drops.” Hecate mimicked Selene, wrapping her arm around me, sending more shocks into me. “I know it’s uncomfortable. But you unlocked a hidden power neither my sister nor 1 realized you had. It took too much out of you.”

Selene hummed again. “This is definitely something we will have to look into. But if you want your chance to leave like last time, we need to…” She looked at Hecate.

Selene cupped my cheek. “Your soul was ripped apart from the blast. Celestial powers can do that.”

“Celestial powers? Excuse me?” I was confused. “What the hell did I do?”

Hecate grabbed me and started spinning. “Why don’t you wake up and find out for yourself?” Then she let go.
