Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 250

Chapter 250

The room's temperature dropped. Everyone stopped and stared at the two men, and not one person looked away. We were all watching this car accident as it happened. What did he just admit to? I tapped my fingers to my lips, still holding in my laugh, but then Nadine shot a glare to me and I lost it. 1

I keeled over and started laughing. Tears were streaming down my face as I pooped back up, and I had to hold the stitch in my side. "What's so fucking funny about this girl?" Thinius sneered, and I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"You really are fucking stupid." I wiped my face some more and sighed while I shook my head. “You would think with your age you have more intelligence, but here you are." I waved my hand around and turned to face the crowd, then turned back. "Admitting to rigging the contest for queen, in front of the king, who you are forcing to select a mate when he wants to wait for his goddess given mate. You might as well just say that you all have banded behind his back to force him to bend to your will." My smile dropped, and I brought an edge to my voice. "It's almost like you're saying that you're committing treason by usurping the crown and the power for your council from the king in front of him." I took a step. "But you can't be THAT stupid, can you?"

"Yes, yes, I think he can be, in fact, that stupid." Rowan's voice was deadly.

"My king..." He looked around and settled his eyes on me. "As your council members, we have an obligation to ensure the woman you mate with is the best of the best. We look at everything: rank, family, affluence, influence and how this woman will interact with not only us, but with our pack." He pointed at me. "Look at Amy." I growled, but he continued. "She is short-tempered. Her father was a traitor." That did it.

I charged and grabbed him around his neck. "Say it again." I squeezed. "I fucking dare you
