Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 444

Both my mom and Toya were silent for far too long before I looked up and both were looking at me with their mouths dropped open. “Say something.” I nudged them and they finally blinked.

Toya sat back. “That is a lot.”

My mother tried to smile. “That it is.” She grabbed my hand. “Are you sure about the heat?”

I nodded. “Both of them are going into heat.”

Toya choked on her spit. “What do you mean, both of them are going into heat?”

I chuckled as I looked at her. “Exactly that. Last time it was only Nix and I, Megan took the heat as much as she could, but it wasn’t hers. Now both of them will go into heat. And honestly, that sounds fucking terrifying. I barely survived my first heat without my mate, and that was only one wolf. How am I going to survive both?”

My mom wrapped her arm around me. “We have a few weeks. Right?”

I sighed. Do we?

My wolves both looked at each other and then away. Erubus says we have less than two weeks. Possibly a week.

I laughed and then felt tears spring to my eyes. My mom looked at Toya, who threaded her fingers through mine. “What’s wrong?”

I looked at both of them. “I have a week to a week and a half, give our take a day.” I watched the words hit them, but then my mom nodded and stood. “Where are you going?”

“To call your dad.” She looked like she was on a mission.

“Why?” I looked at her, confusion and panic clear on my face.

“Because he has fucking magic, and if anyone can stop this mess from fucking happening. It should be him.” She turned and stomped up the stairs. She was on a mission and no one was going to stop her.

“Do you think there is a way?” Toya looked at me with hope in her eyes. “To stop your heat?”

She looked back towards the kitchen and then sighed. “Truthfully?” I nodded. “Because Wendy and I have been thinking that it only made sense that you and Rowan are mates.”

“Why?” I pulled away completely to watch her face. “And why didn’t you tell me?”

She winced. “Since meeting Nix, we assumed since you two are the last Lycans. You two had to be mates.”

“But the Lycan’s are alive.” I cut in, but she held her hand up.

“We didn’t know that at the time. And having the only two Lycans alive mate made sense. And the goddess is nothing but sensible.” I nodded, but then she looked at me. “And the reason why we didn’t tell you was because you two were hitting it off. And we just assumed everything would unfold as it should.” She looked away. “And then he shattered you and I wanted to kill him.” She turned back to me. “I was going to kill him.”

“Toya.”

But she shook her head. “You didn’t see yourself at the height of your heat, Amy. If he had showed back up, I would have died trying to kill him. And I would’ve done it happily.”
