Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 299

She glared at me but I held back. "Cat's got your tongue?" crossed my arms, but my mind was spinning. Verity was obviously related to Aurora. She was probably a cousin or something. She obviously had magic like them. The entire family had set their sights high for their mates. Aurora wanted my father. Amara nailed Beck, which I wasn't sure if they were goddess blessed mates now that I think of it. And now Verity, setting her sights and claws into Rowan. "I have to hand it to you. Out of the twins and you, you aimed higher."

"I deserved more than my sisters." She snarled and then seemed to catch herself.

I felt my eyes narrow. "Sisters? Interesting. But you had different last names. Probably different sires." I tossed my head back and forth. "I can only assume since your grandmother helped them you came first, and you were the mistake."

She snarled, charging at us. "I was not a mistake." She screamed. "They were weaker than me in every way." She spun and started to pace. "No one ever sees it."

I glanced at Toya, but she was already smirking. "How could they see what isn't there?" She looked down at her hands. "You were the mistake. You were the pup made outside of the mate bond, right?"

"Shut the fuck up. You're just like them, like everyone else. My father was powerful." She snarled, and caught the crazed look in her eyes. "My mother should have been grateful she was selected."

"Selected?" Toya's brow furrowed.

But I had a sinking suspicion. "You mother must have been gorgeous enough to be chosen as a brood mare for an alpha."

"That is the only thing she had, that and her magic." She spun to face us. “But could she be

then she threw her head back and laughed. "You almost had me. I'll be honest. At first, I used magic to keep him away from you. As he wouldn't look at anyone else but you, and I was frustrated.
