Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 537

The entire audience froze as his words echoed through the space. Vince’s smile tightened as he looked around the room. Shannon, and this is the only time I would ever feel bad for her, stumbled another step and Brittney giggled next to her. Brandon turned back to Shannon, realizing he wasn’t as quiet as he thought he was. He had the decency to look a little embarrassed. But he stepped forward and held out his hand for her, and she plastered a smile onto her face and stepped toward him.

Brandon wrapped his fingers around hers and pulled her to his side. A quick whispered spell let me hear the rushed conversation. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean for everyone to hear that.” He smiled down at her. “I’m just nervous.” He lied straight through his teeth, but I could see that Shannon was eating it up. “You know how I feel about you, right, baby?”

“It’s okay.” She trembled as she stepped closer to him. “I understand. Of course, I know how you feel about me. You picked me over Amy.” I watched his face tighten with her words, but she missed it. She batted her eyes up at him. “I can’t wait to be your mate.”

Rowan, the shit stirrer he is, leaned over to a wolf beside him. “I thought Brandon was mating the alpha female from this pack. Amy…” He furrowed his brows and turned back to the front, watching his comment hit home. Brandon’s spine straightened as he turned to look at Rowan. And Shannon growled low in her throat.

“No, my king.” Shannon turned and fought her anger as she addressed him. “Brandon chose me.”

Rowan stood and walked over, sniffing as he went. He raised his eyebrow and turned back to his seat. “Brandon…I’m surprised. But true love conquers all, I guess.”

“What do you mean?” Brandon snapped his attention to the king. Even from back here, I could see him swallow his anger facing the bigger male.

Rowan smiled lazily. “I mean, come on…no offense to your chosen mate, but let’s be honesty here.” He turned to look Shannon up and down. “You seem like a really nice girl.” He took a step and seemed like he lost his balance for a second. He waved his arms in a circle trying to catch himself. “But it’s Amy.” He said it so matter-of-factly, I had to turn my face away so no one could see my smile.

“What the hell does that mean?” Shannon turned to face the king.

Rowan lifted an eyebrow. “I mean no offense.” He raised his hands and smiled again.

Shannon’s eyes turned to slits. “Then explain what you meant.”

Rowan chuckled softly. “You are playing with fire, little girl.”

Brandon wrapped his arm around Shannon. “I would also like to know what you meant, my king.”
