Chapter 4
I slipped into the back of the car after putting my bags in the back and buckled in. I had barely takin a breath before I launched myself over the seats and into the driver’s arms.
His laugh made my eyes prickle. “Hey love bug.”
“Uncle Ronnie. I’ve missed you.” I climbed over the seats and sat up front. “What are you doing here?” Ronnie was my dad’s beta. Not related, but he had been there for most of my life.
“You think I was going to let my cheeky niece come to pack lands alone? Not on your life.”
“Dad sent you?” I laughed.
“Dad sent me. He is a worry wart your da.” He smiled over and laughed with me. “As soon as your mom called, he sent me with the jet.”
“He didn’t have to.” I just shook my head and buckled my seatbelt.
“Of course he did. He never gets to see you enough, and now you’re sending in the summer. What’s going on?” My uncle looked at me and I just shook my head.
“I don’t want to be here.”
“Why?”

“Hey my pup.” His deep voice calmed me further, and I could feel my eyes prickle.
“I’ve missed you.” I sniffled as he unbuckled my seat belt and I was in his arms fully.
“As I have missed you.” He kissed my temple. “Now we have much to discuss.” He was running with me before I could utter another word, with Ronnie following behind.
“Slow down, jack ass. Some of us can’t move that fast.” Ronnie struggled to keep up and my laughter filled the halls of the pack house. We settled in my father’s office with an out of breath Ronnie, who was scowling. God, I missed these two.
“Tell me what’s wrong, pup.” I looked around and still I stumbled over my words. My father grabbed my face and shook his head. “Nothing you tell me will change anything, pup. I believe you, no matter how crazy it seems.”
“Agreed Sugar.”
My insides settled when I saw how resolute he was. He would believe my craziness. I could tell no matter how crazy my story was, my father and Ronnie would believe everything I said.
I never had to second guess if I was going crazy here.
So finally I settled fully and told my story.
Shifted Fate
Chapter 5
“I lived another life, and I died.” I stumbled over my words and I felt my father freeze. A quick look to Ronnie had him locking the door and waving his hands. I felt the air still, but I was focused on my father’s eyes. “This morning I woke up six years in the past after living until I was twenty–four, and growing my own pup only to have my mate to rip him from my body.” My father’s and Ronnie’s snarl shook the walls, but I raised my hands. “He betrays me for my step sister who convinced him. that I cheated and the pup wasn’t his, so he killed us both using silver scalpels, and killing any love I had for him at the same time.” I looked up at my father and the tears rolled down my face.
“Pup.” His voice was choked up, but I raised my hand.
“I don’t want him to be my mate, daddy. I know I won’t survive it. I need to change it. Everything, and it starts with hiding my scent. I told mom what I needed, and she called you. How are you going to help me?” I was starting to panic. “I don’t want to die. I don’t want my pup ripped from my stomach only for him to smell himself on him. I don’t want to create life just to have it ripped from me daddy. I can’t.” My soul was ripping and even though I want revenge, this was the first time I was given to truly grieve the lost of my pup.
“Sugar.” Ronnie’s voice was barely a whisper and then I felt father lose control.
