Twist of Fate Chapter 13
Accalia-Finally, I was on an official team and could start moving forward in the company. I was surprised that Alpha Hynes came to deal with the situation. I wondered if he disliked Arielle because she was pretending to be me or if it was just her personality.Not that I cared, but at least I felt that maybe he wasn’t as terrible as I thought he would be. At the very least, he seems like a decent boss. I just hope I don’t run into him any more than absolutely necessary.“I need you to get these taken care of before the end of next week.” Jason, my new team leader, put a stack of binders on my desk at least an inch thick.Picking up the top one, I skimmed over the contents. “You want me to handle this on my own?”“Look, I know you are new, but you managed to piss off my boss. Even if Arielle has no immediate control over you, she is above my head. I am only doing what I am told to do.” Jason sighed.“This is my first day, and you want me to handle an important contract.” I put down th

Accalia-When Jason announced that Alpha Hynes was having a meeting to discuss something with everyone in the company, my thoughts immediately went to Zy. I haven’t seen him in two days, since he brought me food. When I went home the next night, Zy wasn’t there. I considered calling him to ask where he was, but I didn’t want to impose on his freedom.For the last two days, I found myself thinking about him when my work slowed down or when I took a break. I had heard Alpha Hynes went on a business trip, so Zy likely went as well. Every time I thought about Zy, I would get lost in thought, but then I would remind myself that we were only married by name.“I wonder what this meeting is about. Interns are rarely allowed to go to meetings.” Diana, one of the interns on my team, said.In the last two days, I have met the team's interns. They weren’t the only ones on the team, but the others seemed too focused on their work to interact with the interns. They might answer questions if an inte

Accalia-After lunch, I had to meet with a client regarding one of the tasks I was given, but I took a detour before returning to the office. The building I stopped in front of was two stories tall and had underground parking. It was the new Renegade base for this region.On the opposite side of the city from Z.H Tech, the Renegade base sat in the center of a massive forest. It used to be an abandoned warehouse, but it was perfect for our needs. I purchased it online and then had Eclipse and a few other members start the renovation process.This was my first time seeing the base in person, but I was already impressed. The yard had been cleaned up and turned into an outdoor training area. It was equipped with an outdoor boxing arena and fighting dummies, all surrounded by a track.A few members were on the track doing laps while others were doing other things. Most of them were senior members of the Sector, but they were still trying to improve themselves. Smiling, I parked the bike by

Zydan-I haven’t seen Lia at home for a week other than in the office. I had to go on a business trip for a couple of days, but when I returned home, it didn’t appear she had been home. I felt that something was happening, not just that she was trying to learn more about the company.Instead of staying home anxiously waiting, I went to the bar with Jaxon. I didn’t understand why I cared if Lia went home or not, but it was an undeniable fact that I was drawn to her. I knew it the first moment I approached her.“Maybe you should slow down.” Jaxon said for the third time since we started drinking.The alcohol I was drinking was more potent than his. With the exposure of werewolves, many people have taken advantage of our high metabolism. The best part was that almost all werewolves were now immune to wolfsbane to an extent.When werewolves became part of society, many humans and hunters opposed them. They put wolfsbane in everything: the water, the food, and even the air. Many werewolves

Accalia-All through the night, I couldn’t fall asleep. No matter how much I tried to block out the memory of Zy kissing me, I couldn’t. It wasn’t because I enjoyed it. If anything, I was pissed. Husband or not, he took my first kiss.I didn’t care that he was the one who did it because I will be the first to admit I have thought about kissing him a time or two. I was upset because he did it in a drunken stupor. More than that, I ran into him coming out of the bedroom when it was time to get ready for work.“Good morning.” Zy greeted me.I said nothing while studying him to see if he recalled what happened. I didn’t need an apology, but something would have been better than the blank look in his eyes. Narrowing my eyes, I stood by the door frame of my room.“Is something wrong?” Zy asked with furrowed brows.“Do you not remember what happened last night?” I asked.“Not really. The last thing I remember was meeting Jaxon at the bar.” Zy diverted his gaze as if he was trying to remember
Twist of Fate Chapter 18
Zydan-Sitting in my office Friday morning, I struggled to understand why Lia was upset. What happened after I returned home the night before last? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t recall anything. I have been absent-minded all morning and unable to work on anything.“What the hell did I do?” I asked myself, knowing no one would answer as I was alone in the office.“I don’t know. You know that although Wolfsbane doesn’t harm you, it makes me weak. The moment you started drinking, I was forced into your subconscious.” My wolf, Nyko, responded.It was for that reason that I usually didn’t drink, but it was the only way to numb myself to everything going on around me, especially thinking about my wife. I don’t know how much I drank, but it must have been a lot because I woke up with a splitting migraine, and I was missing nearly twelve hours of my time.When I arrived at work yesterday, I asked Jaxon, but he told me he didn’t know anything. He told me what happened at the bar and o

Accalia-After returning to my desk, I couldn’t stop thinking about Zy. The way he tried standing up for me, although I didn’t need it, made him even more handsome than he already was. I have been upset with him over the kiss, but maybe I could let it go.I can’t fault him for kissing me because he was drunk. I mean, we are legally married, after all. Besides, he didn’t remember, so it was probably for the best. Deciding I would let it slide, I pulled out my phone and texted Zy to ask if he planned to be home after work.Barely two seconds after I hit send, he responded that he would. Putting my phone on my desk, I focused on completing my work for the day. Since I turned in the tasks Jason gave me, he let me work on projects that weren’t typically assigned to interns.When it was time to leave work, I was the first to power down my station, grab my phone and bag, and leave the office. As I left, I waved to Jason to let him know I was leaving.“I don’t want to see you at work this wee
Twist of Fate Chapter 20
Accalia-The awkwardness stretched out, with me standing just inside the apartment and Zy in the hall. I wasn’t sure if I should speak first or let him talk. I knew I needed to explain why I had another man in the apartment since I didn’t even believe the excuse I used.“I am sorry.” I broke the silence and almost missed the fact he spoke at the same time that I did.“Wait, what are you sorry about?”“For kissing you without permission. What are you sorry for?”“I t-thought…” I stuttered slightly before trying again. “I thought you might be upset because I had another man in the apartment without talking to you first.”“You don’t need to apologize for asking for someone to help fix a linking sink,” Zy chuckled, which relieved some of the tension between us.I had planned to tell him the half-truth and the real reason I asked Jon to the apartment, but since he believed me, it was better if I didn’t expose the fact that I lied. Of course, I wouldn’t have told him everything—just that Jo
