Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Chapter 452

I ran through the front door of the pack house, scaring the omega that was cleaning the front entry. She screamed as I slammed through, but I kept running until I made it to the office. Alannah was pale, shivering behind her desk. She looked at me with wide eyes, panic clear on her face. Rick's door was closed, but Ternen was rubbing Alannah's back in small circles. Something was wrong.

I shifted back and I opened my office door, turning back to look at them, and nodding inside. Alannah was out of her chair before I could blink. I waited for Ternen to join us before I shut the door. I hugged Alannah and took a deep breath, but all I could smell was Ternen's rancid smell. I pushed them into the chairs across from me and sat at my desk, pulling out my laptop. "Good morning."

"Morning Amy." Ternen tried to smile.

"You two look stressed. What can I do to help?" I typed out a message on the

screen.

Amy- What is going on? You look like you are going to puke.

I turned the computer to Ternen and Alannah. "Nothing." Alannah sighed. "Rick is just having a rough morning. Abby is really sick and Vince came in a lot earlier. Something about needing to speak to him." Alannah leaned in. "Are you still trying to organize his files?" Her eyes flicked to mine and I nodded.

"Yeah, I wanted you to look at the filing system. I wanted you to take a look and leave any notes you have on the notepad." She nodded and hunched over the keyboard. Ternen looked over at the computer and then turned back to me.

"I don't know what that all is. Rick's filing system haunts most of us omegas." I could see that Ternen was trying his best to act normal.
