Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365

I leaned in. “How much do you all know about magic?”

Rick leaned back in his chair and laughed. “Like charms, voodoo, and Hollywood CGI?”

“Magic isn’t real, Amy.” Ternen smirked and shook his head.

But Alannah was quiet. She leaned in and looked at me. “There are witches that live in the woods near my old pack. They are real,

and if you cross them, they will come after your family.” She looked away. “But the witches worked with our pack, and they save

us more time than I could count.”

“Really? Then what happened to your pack?” I sat back. But I held up my hand before she answered

“Hi y’all. I’m Stephanie, your server. Can I get you started with something to drink?” She went around and got our drink orders,

then she left us alone. I turned back to Alannah and nodded.

“Our alpha’s son seduced the priestess’s daughter and then found his mate. It wouldn’t have been an issue, but the priestess’s

daughter ended up pregnant.

“Oh, no.” The server dropped off our drinks and grabbed our orders, then left us alone again.

Alannah took a sip of her drink. “Even that would have been fine. The witches would have understood. They were just happy for a

child, but the alpha son’s mate refused to accept it. Even if the witch’s babe would never be seen in the pack.”

I slapped my hand over my mouth because I knew what was going to happen. “No.”

She nodded. “The mate snuck into the coven and killed the daughter and her babe. The priestess, she was broken, but still she did

not attack us.”

Rick leaned in, completely caught in the story. “Im confused. I know your pack was wiped out.”

Alannah nodded. “We were. I escaped because of one simple fact.”

“That is?” Ternen wrapped his hand around Alannah’s,

“I was close friends with the witch’s daughter. When the rogues came and attacked, the witches came and watched. The alpha

begged for their help, but the priestess shook her head. She said she refused to save the murderer of her child and grandchild.”

She shook in her seat. “She gave us one shot. She said she would save us if we pushed out the girl. But the alpha’s son refused,

they were left to fight for their lives. I ran, and the witch saw me. She called me to her side and then brought me to the next pack,

Vince’s.”

“Witches are… real?” Ternen looked at his mate and we both just nodded.

“Very much so.” I agreed. Then I turned to Rick. He was staring at Alannah.

“The woman that dropped you outside my house….”

Alannah nodded. “She made sure I was somewhere she thought I would be safe.” Ternen snorted.

“Shwe picked the wrong pack for safety.” (1)

Alannah looked up at me. “I don’t know Ternen, I think we are right where we needed to be.”

I smiled at her and grabbed her free hand. “You are.”

Rick looked at us. “Why did you bring up magic?”
