Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Chapter 476

I blinked to find Shelly screaming, tears flowing down her face, scrambling to grab the dagger from Abby's chest. I breathed a sigh of relief as I grabbed the cup again. I jumped to her side and grabbed her face. "What the fuck are you doing, you stupid fucking bitch? You killed our pup. My baby." She grabbed a chunk of hair and ripped it from my head, but I was focused on her tears. I needed exactly five tears.

Her nails found purchase on my face, and I felt the blood trickle from my face as her nails sliced through. I had to jerk back as one claw sliced too close to my eye. But once the five tears dropped into the cup, I pulled away from her grip. I didn't want to hurt her any more than I already had.

I walked to Rick, who was still screaming. Still crying. Toya and my mom had his arms so he couldn't cut into me like his mate. I grabbed his face, and collected his five tears as he screamed at me. "I hate you. I should have let Vince kill you." His words rolled off my back. But his next insult landed. "You are nothing like your father. You are the rot in the world, and eventually everyone will see it. That's why the goddess never gave you a good mate. You deserved Brandon. You deserve each other. That's why the goddess took your pup. You would only ruin it."

I kissed his brow. "You might be right." I whispered, as I turned back to Abby.

"Leave her alone." Shelly screamed as I walked back to the burning bowl next to Abby. I tipped some of the burning liquid into the cup. Then I grabbed Abby by her shoulders and tipped some of the liquid into her mouth. "DON'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!" Shelly fought harder, but Wendy just tightened her grip.

then I ripped the dagger from her chest. I stood over her and poured the rest of the burning liquid into the jagged wound in her chest. Rick screamed. “Leave her alone!" His scream had my hand trembling. But I grabbed the bowl and upended
