Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Chapter 506

The kiss was like fire. His lips on mine ignited something deep inside of me. Nix and Megan both purred. Their combined rumble worked its way out of my throat. Rowan groaned as my purr spilled from my lips. He wrapped his hands under my legs and went to lift me, but that jolted me out of the spell I had fallen under.

I growled as I ripped my lips away from his and then I hauled back and punched him in his face. Rowan stumbled away, holding his face. I glared at him as he straightened. He looked up at me, shock on his face, and I watched as it morphed into a smirk. He fucking smirked at me. He stood up to his full height and his smirk turned to a full smile as he stepped closer. His lip was split at the corner, but he just swiped the blood with his thumb as he took another step. "You hit me." His voice was low. But his eyes had shifted. He looked like the predator he was. His fangs slid down into place. "You actually hit me."

I took a step back without realizing it. But his chuckle had my spine straightening. "You deserved it." My eyes narrowed as I took a step forward, refusing to retreat. "You kissed me."

He nodded as he leaned back down to me. "I did. And I'll do it again."

I felt a growl work its way up. "Like hell you will." I took another step closer, getting into his face. My finger drilled into his chest. "You don't get to kiss me. You have a fiancee, remember? I don't share men first and foremost." A growl rumbled in his chest. I bared my teeth, fangs descending again to match his. "More importantly THOTH, I don't want you anywhere near me. All you fucking do is lie and I am over it."

I watched his face as it went through a million different emotions but landed on serious. His eyes dimmed a little, but his fangs stayed out. "I know." I felt my face fall. I expected a little fight from him. He smiled as he watched my face. "I can't deny anything you just said. But I hope you will have a meal with me, and let me explain my side of things before you make any permanent decisions."

I glared at him for a second longer. "I'm not hungry." I watched his face fall a little, but then there was a knock on the door. I walked over to the door and swung it open. "What?" I snapped out before I saw who it was. I drew in a breath, "I'm sorry Clara, what did you need?" I felt my voice soften as I stared at the trembling omega.
