Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 558

She screamed as she swung at me. “I hate you.” I caught her hands and bucked her off of my hips. The male stood over top of us, tried to kick out, but I rolled. I heard a snarl and a slashing claw coming for my face before I spun to the left. Thora’s claws drove into the dirt. “You think you are so good, so powerful. But in the end, you condemned innocent people to death.”

I rolled onto my hands and knees and pushed up. “You can lie to yourself all you want, but I’m not stupid.” Her face fell as she pulled her hand from the ground.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” She shrieked as she stood.

“You never wanted to be my friend.” I shook my head as she circled me with the male. “You sat with me and fed me bullshit lies about Nina. I knew you were her puppet from the first day. I said nothing because I wanted to see what you were trying to do.”

She seemed to stumble at my words. “You knew?”

I laughed as I shifted my claws. “Of course I knew. I saw you and Nina talking multiple times.” The male darted in, but I struck first. My claws swept up as he kicked, connecting to the soft flesh of his inner thigh. He yelped as he spun away, blood pooling under him. I might have nicked the femoral artery with that swipe. “You two thought you were secretive, but I knew by the end of the day.”

“You’re lying.” She swiped at me but I dodged back.

“I’m not. I saw you the same day behind the bleachers by the field. Ring a bell?” I watched her face cycle through emotions faster than she could even feel them. “Yeah, I saw you.” I shook my head. “I just let you think I didn’t know. But I never turned you away. I just stopped answering you. So anything that happened to your family, to you, wasn’t on me.”

“It’s still your fault.” She swung again, less controlled than her last.

“Fuck.” He bellowed as his blood coated my face, my eyes. We were still struggling with each other when I heard a scream.

“AMY! BEHIND YOU.” Wendy was close, but I could hear the panic in her voice because she wasn’t close enough. I spun, feeling something hit us, and we went tumbling. The impact made me lose my breath, and I felt nails scratching at my chest. The male on top of me was wheezing, and then he screamed once, and then stopped.

I fought to push the male off of me, wriggling to the side to squeeze out, but Thora was there, already swinging for my neck. But Rowan’s claws caught her first, ripping her in half, and sending her top half to the side. He grabbed for me as the body rolled free, a giant hole in his chest.

“She ripped his spine out, but she was aiming for you.”
