Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422

I walked out of the office with an exhausted grin on my face.

“Did you do it?” Alannah stood at her desk with a grin on her face.

“I did. Got it just as the counter was counting down.”

Alannah jumped as the door swung open and Vince walked in. “Amy!” He yelled as soon as he walked in. Alannah swung around

me as naturally as she could.

“Yes Alpha Vibce. What can I do for you?” Alannah stepped into Rick’s office, creating more space between them. Vince looked at

her retreating, but I turned away from him and grabbed my purse from my hook, pulling his attention back to me.

“You can’t call off the mating ceremony.” His face was smiling, but I saw the glint in his eye. He sounded like he was begging, but

he meant it as an order. “Brandon loves you.”

I nodded. “And I love him, but I love him enough to respect him and his reputation.”

Vince furrowed his brow. “What do you mean by that?”

I sighed as I stepped out of my office, pulling my door shut. “Alpha Vince, I know rumors don’t get back to you that much, because you are the alpha. But the pack is already talking. Shannon’s saying she was potentially pregnant by Brandon has gotten around. Everyone is talking about how they got back together.” I shook my head. “Brandon has loved and been with an unranked wolf. And while I understand in some packs, that kind of relationship is fine.” I felt my skin fall as I said these words. This made me sick. “But in our pack, it’s something to talk about. I can’t add to the drama. If I still mate with him, not only will he seem like a man who can’t decide, who can’t figure out his own feelings, but they will see him as weak for falling an unranked wolf, as someone who chose the weaker wolf. Having a weak and indecisive alpha can break a pack. I won’t muddy the waters around Brandon any more.” I walked to the door. “I’m not Shannon. I actually love and care about him.” I looked back.

“Wha-” He paused, and I watched him replay what I just said over again. “What do you mean you’re not Shannon?”

I chuckled. “How do you think the rumors got out so fast?” I headed back to Rick’s office as Vince processes what I just said.

“Mother fucker.” He whispered before he stormed away.

I waited a few minutes before I knocked on Rick’s door. “Are you ready to go?”

Alannah opened the door and stepped out with a big box. “Yeah. I found it.” Then she handed it to me.

“What’s this?” I grabbed the box from her, feeling it was pretty heavy, stuffed with papers.

“Tomorrow’s job. I just remembered it, and I was going to put it on your desk, but since you are still here.” She pointed to it. “You might want to take it home to get a head start on it.”

I shook the box, but there was nothing surprising about it. “What is it?”

“Ricks files.” She laughed. “He wants you to organize them by firewall. Apparently there are sections to the box and he said since you have been through it, you can organize his ‘process‘.” She grabbed her stuff and turned away. “He also said to take out the stuff that means nothing and toss it.” She made sure I was looking at her when she said the last sentence.

“Oh, goddess.” I groaned, playing alone. “Can’t he organize his own files? Or have you do it?”

She sighed. “I tried to tell him that when he told me about the files. But he said I wouldn’t understand.” She turned off the light,

and we left the office.

“Hey.” Ternen came around the corner and I nearly had to gag at the stench coming off his body. “Ready to go, baby?” He beamed down at Alannah, and she nodded. “Bye Amy.” They waved and turned away, the cologne on him nearly burning the little

hairs inside my nose.
