Strings of Fate
Chapter 5
5- Neighbours and nastiness
The more time I spend with this Shifter, the more I begin to think fate got it
wrong.
I wonder if there is a way to break threads or get rid of them in some way. I’ve never seen it happen before. Even in death people are tied together.
I once walked past a cemetery and saw an old man visiting his wife’s grave. The red thread still flowed from his chest and vanished down into the ground connecting him forever to his beloved. It was depressing but also sort of romantic in a morbid kind of way.
I glanced back at the man sitting at the table across from me. I can’t imagine being linked with him forever. I really hope fate knows what it’s doing, giving me this man as my soul
mate.
“Yes, I will be friends with your twin sister. It is fated.” He scowls at me.
“You aren’t even a Shifter, why would fate want you to be friends with my sister?” Now it’s
my turn to scowl back at him.
“What does that have to do with anything? Everyone has a fate Mr Kane, regardless of the circumstances of their birth. When I look at someone, I see the threads of their fate, not their
species.”
I am feeling incredibly annoyed. This man is my soul mate, how can he be such a jerk? This was definitely not the first meeting I expected when I finally met the holder of my red thread.
I had hoped for something a little sweeter, maybe cute or romantic. But no, I get yelled at and
insulted. Yay for me. He stares at me for a moment.
