Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Chapter 450

I woke up with swollen eyes and dried drool on my chest from where my mother was curled up on me. I would have laughed if it wasn't so sad. I wiped at my tender eyes and my mom lifted her head. "Hey baby." She pushed up and saw her drool. She giggled. "Sorry." She pushed all the way up and pulled her hair back. "How are you feeling?"

"Rough." I pushed myself up. "Very rough."

My mom nodded. "It was an emotional night." She looked to the bedside table where were moved the letters after we finished reading them all. "He was very much in love with you." She turned back. "How are you...I was going to ask how you're feeling again and I already know the answer. But..." She trailed off. "How are you dealing with everything?" She had this tiny flash of hope, but I shook my head.

"Honestly...I don't know." My alarm went off again. "What I do know is that I have to go to work today. I need to call the king today." My stomach clenched. "I need to speak to daddy, and Thoth today." I got out of bed and went to the closest. "I have too much to do to stay in bed like I want to do." I grabbed the first thing I could and went to the bathroom.

My mom called after me. "I can help."

I shut the door behind me so I could have a quick shower to wake myself up. I slipped behind the frosted glass before my mom charged right in. "Mom."

"No baby. I don't want to hear it. I told you I can help and I mean it. Let me call your father, the king. We can handle that part. You just have to tell me the plan.”

"I'm in the shower." I groaned, but she just laughed.

"Babe, Ive seen you naked. You came out of me, remember?" I cracked the door open to glare at her, but she just shrugged as she slid onto the counter by the sink. "We have the same body."

"Mom."
