“You can’t bloody shift! The challenge is not tomorrow but the next day,” my father growls, forgetting what he came here for, though I knew it has to do with the news.
“Challenge is still going ahead. I am not backing down,” I tell him.
“You can’t shift, Everly! Why would you challenge me when you are pregnant?” he growls.
“I only just found out today, but it changes nothing,”

“What?” I asked, turning to look back at my father.
“You fucked up,”

“I don’t care about the photos of me. I will deal with that. It’s Nixon, he will fucking come for you for what you did. You need to leave the city. Get Valarian and Ava
