Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 32

Chapter Thirty-Two

We made our way back to the house and into my father's office before I saw anyone else. An omega brought in plates of rare steak. "Dad?" My stomach clenched looking at the meat. I couldn't tell if I wanted it, or my body was rejecting the idea of eating it.

"You need a lot of meat. You wolf is begging you to shift. It's her time to shine now that the power portion has been handled. But you have things to worry about other than shifting, and this will help keep Nix under wraps." He nudged the plate in front of me. "Try it. I know it probably doesn't look appetizing, but I promise you, you will enjoy it."

I reached for a fork and knife, but my nails shifted to claws before I could wrap my fingers around the utensils. I snatched up the meat and tore into it, blood dripping from the meat. It was still so rare. Nix settled farther back into the forest in my mind's eye, and Megan settled next to her.

I'm sorry Amy. I seem to be losing control. Nix started to pace as I continued to tear into the meat. By the time I had finished off the first, Megan had completely laid down. But Nix was still antsy.

"How do you feel?"

"Scared. Nix is antsy, pacing just below the surface." I shook myself as my father slid another plate in front of me. "Another one." I snatched it up, ripping into it like it was my prey. "Rare meat will settle your wolf for a time, but sometimes you might need a little help." My father pulled out a little bottle from the desk. The bottle screamed danger.

"What is that?" I chewed the last bit of the second steak and my claws shifted back to my normal fingers, eyes were still golden. Nix had stopped pacing, but she was alert.
