Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254

“Alpha Brandon. While I appreciate you wanting to help your…friend. Toya and Wendy have

Amy covered. If you want to help so much, you can stay here with me and the others to help Amy close out the table.” I nearly sagged with relief when he finally understood.

I felt Brandon tense, because he didn’t want to let me go, but once Rowan said he was staying here too, he relaxed. “Sure, my king, I would do anything to help Amy.” He reluctantly let me go, then turned to me. “I’ll help everyone close down the table, then I’ll stop by your place with everything.” He was so sure that I would let him up.

Nix panted some more. If we were weaker, this would work, but Megan and I are fighting the kudzu. Be alone by the time we lose control or else you will lose all your self respect, regardless of the male.

Her words were a warning that I knew I had to take seriously. “Thank you.” But I won’t be answering. I kept those words to myself. Then Wendy and Toya led me out of the building. As soon as we hit outside, I turned to them. “I need you guys to get me home and then lock me down.”

Toya and Wendy looked worried. “We can’t overpower you. You’re too strong.” Panic settled in again.

“Just get me home. We can worry about everything else when we get there.” They nodded and we ran to Toya’s car. Toya pulled out of the car park and flew home. She slammed into the parking spot as I groaned. The heat was becoming unbearable.

“Let’s go.” Wendy tried to pull me from the back seta and her hands slipped down my arm, causing me to shiver and moan. She paled. “Amy, I need you to help.” But I was too far gone.

“Move.” Sterling’s voice came from behind and my friends screamed. “Sorry.” He looked sheepish, but eased Wendy out of the way. Then he pointed to the two boxes on the ground. “Grab those, I’ll get her.” He had me in his arms in seconds. “Let’s go. We don’t have much time.”

“She is going into heat, isn’t she?” Toya ran next to Sterling to the elevator. He nodded. “Why isn’t it bothering you?”

“I’m happily mated.” He swallowed, but it was louder than it should be. I glanced up and even in my haze, I could see the sweat beading on his forehead. “But even so, it is affecting

me.” He looked down. “She is too powerful for it not to affect me.‘

Toya and Wendy looked at each other, and then we all got into the elevator. “What are we going to do?” Wendy looked pained. “We won’t be able to stop her if she tries to leave.” Sterling keyed in a code, and the elevator shot straight up. “What’s happening?”

“I bypassed the floors. Even if someone is waiting for an elevator, we will be going straight to the penthouse floor.” I nearly sobbed in relief.

We were at my door in seconds, and Toya fished my key out of my pocket. She unlocked the door, and Sterling walked straight to the bedroom. “Where are you going?”

“To her bed, where she will be the most comfortable.” His words had them both freezing for a moment and then chasing after us. His words barely registered with me, though. My entire world and whittled down to my skin. My skin pressed to Sterling’s chest plate. The soft breeze ruffling my hair. My sweat dripping down my neck. All of it was a world of new sensations. And I was lost to it. “Put the boxes down and open them. Hurry, she is close to losing control.”

“How do you know?” Wendy’s voice seemed too far away.
