Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 516

My scent flooded my room, and Rowan froze. He pulled in deep breath after deep breath. My heat was burning my skin, and I could smell my arousal that pooled in between my legs. “Rowan.” I couldn’t face him. I couldn’t see his disappointed face when he realized I wasn’t his mate.

“So fucking stupid.” His words hit me in the chest.

I closed my eyes and felt the burn of tears. Not again. I took a deep breath in and stepped away. “I told you.” I shook my head and pinched myself to stop the tears from falling. “Can you please leave now?” I felt a tear escape anyway, and I sniffled. I staggered and then I pulled in another deep breath. I spun around to face Rowan.

“You smell like strawberry shortcake.” His eyes were blown, the color gone.

I drew in another breath, his scent filling my lungs, my mind, my soul. “You smell like vanilla and cinnamon.” I took a step towards him. I felt my stomach quiver as his scent surrounded me. “Like cinnamon rolls.”

He grabbed me and lifted me up. “Mate.” His eyes shifted and his ice-blue eyes flashed at me and I knew Erubus was fronting.

When I first found out I was Brandon’s mate, I felt the rush from Megan, who I assumed was Nix, but I was disappointed because I had spent my life hating him. But with Rowan, he was different. He was everything I had ever wanted. My wolves loved him, and if I was honest, I had never stopped loving him.

I felt my fangs descend, and my eyes flash gold. “Mate.” Nix’s word fell from my lips and it was the first time I had ever felt the rush of excitement I longed for the first time around. His lips crashed into mine and my heat crashed into us full force.

Rowan growled and bit the bottom of my lip as he pulled back. “I am holding on by a thread here. But I will ask you this once.” His eyes glowed, but I knew Rowan was fighting Erubus for control. “Do you want me?”

Nix and Megan were panting, but they also pulled back. You make this choice, Amy. Megan’s voice was a pained whisper.
