Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 63

Chapter Sixty–Three

My father sank with each word. I watched as his world crumbled, and I was sorry for it. It wasn’t what I wanted, but it needed to be said. Beck had caused half the issues here. I was sure of it. “How can you be so sure?” His voice was soft, but his eyes held a tiny seed of hope.

“I’m not. But if he thinks Ronnie is dead, then we have a chance to catch him.” I gave him the tiny bit of hope. “I might be wrong. I am more than willing to be wrong. But all of what has happened isn’t sitting well with me. Something is wrong, and someone betrayed this pack. That person is the same one that attacked Ronnie.”

“You are making a leap.”

“No, I’m not.” I looked next to me to Ronnie. “Ronnie ran all the way from where he was attacked to my room. That gives me a bit of information. He trusted who attacked him, and because of the attack, it made him question everyone in the pack. If it was a rogue, he would have mind linked someone. But he didn’t. He ran straight to us,

to you.

“It doesn’t mean it was Beck.”

“It doesn’t. But he said Beck was gone. So either he ran, or he’s dead. And dead men don’t show back up if he finds out Ronnie is dead.”

“So if Beck shows back up…he’s guilty.”

“It would be a strong mark against him, but I would still wait for Ronnie to wake up and get his story. And I would work with Beck to get answers, too. I wouldn’t condemn a wolf just because he made me uneasy.” My father nodded, and I grabbed some water.

“This is going to take more time than I thought. Amy, I think to be safe you should just eat and drink continuously. Your wolf will help rebuild your blood supply as it empties, but you will need fuel for her to work.” The doctor was still pushing gauze into the wound.

“Has there been any change?” My dad stood and walked closer to the bed as I turned to the cart and started to eat the rest of the sandwiches.

The doctor gave a quick nod. “Not much, but the edges are starting to come together.”

“Dad?” I chugged another glass of water. But there was something missing from this cart. Something my body needed. Something in my body flipped. I could feel Nix begging to come out, even though she knew she couldn’t.

“Yeah darling?”

“Can you order me steak, a lot of steak? And more juice.” I tore into another sandwich, but I was suddenly starving. “I don’t even care if it’s cooked all the way.”

“Amy?” My dad came over to where I was at and looked at me, but I felt my eyes had shifted.

“I’m holding on to Nix but a thread. I don’t know what’s wrong. But I need meat. Now.” I tore into another sandwich.

The doctor paused. “You can’t shift Amy. I know you’re newly shifted, and it’s impossible to control your wolf, but if you shift, Ronnie will die.” I nodded and refocused on the food.

As long as I kept eating, I would be fine. I hoped. What the hell was going on?

It’s Ronnie’s wolf, Logan. He’s finally awake. He says they need protein to heal, so he is sending the craving to us, but he’s a little more powerful than he realizes, and Megan is insatiable. Which is making me the level head in our trio, and I’m too close to the surface. You’re feeling Megan’s need. Nix’s voice trembled with need, but she sunk
