Twist of Fate Chapter 29
Zydan-Arriving at the hotel, I checked my phone to see the time. Only then did I realize I had the phone on silent and had thirteen missed calls. I didn’t recognize the number and considered calling them back after checking on Lia. Before I put my phone back in my pocket, it lit up again with the same unknown number. “Hello?” I answered the phone as I walked toward the elevator and pressed the button. “Thank you!” A familiar female voice sounded breathless. “I was starting to worry that I wouldn’t be able to get ahold of anyone.” “Who is this?” I asked as I waited for the elevator to arrive. “My name is Silica.” She answered, but before I could ask why she was calling me, she continued talking. “I don’t have time to explain all the details, but I need to talk to your wife. Is she near you?” “No, she is meeting with Shaw Payne right now.” I answered. The tone of her voice was alarming. Pressing the button to the elevator again, I hoped it would hurry up. A sense of urgency fille

Zydan-Over the following week, I alternated between work and visiting Lia at the base. There was a lot to handle at work, as I had to move interns around who had excelled with their assignments and entered full-time status. Chase was the only one in Lia’s group who hadn’t been promoted.I felt a little bad for him, considering he had Kent, who had helped him cheat. I did offer to let Chase redo the test, as Kent was fired shortly after I returned to work. It hadn’t taken much either, as I told the other board members what Kent had done. They forced him out without me needing to lift a finger.Brett and Lia could stay on the same team since I felt they would work well together. They also stayed with Jason while I moved Chase to another team with a few other interns who hadn’t passed. Diana was also forced to another team; I had noticed she would work better away from Chase influencing her. That was primarily because after Chase failed, he blamed Diana.I also didn’t think she could ke

Zydan-Going to my desk, I sat before my computer and stared at the dark screen. The reflection on the monitor wasn’t mine, or maybe it was, and I didn’t recognize myself. I also didn’t know what Jaxon was talking about. I know I had been on edge and ready to snap at the first person who looked at me wrong.As far as putting someone in danger, I felt he was imagining things. I also didn’t remember Jaxon telling me I should stay home for a few days. My phone rang as I stared at my computer without turning it on.“Hello?” I answered without checking to see who called.“You need to go home.” My father’s voice came through the speaker.“Not you, too.” I groaned and glared at my office door. “Don’t listen to Jaxon. I am fine.”“No, you aren’t. You are showing signs of dissociation and have developed a split personality. Do you remember talking to me this morning?”“Should I?” I leaned forward and turned on my computer.“This is what I am talking about. This morning, you and I talked on the

Accalia-I don’t know how someone has managed to pull one over on me for the second time. I had left to go to the store, but as soon as I entered the parking garage to leave, something hit me from behind, like a needle or something. I have always thought I was agile enough to avoid getting thrown off guard, but obviously, I wasn’t.When I woke up for the second time in a strange place, I felt relieved when I sensed my wolf. I thought it would take more time for my wolf to return. The fact that she was returning now couldn’t have been better timing.I was currently tied to a chair, with chains wrapped around my ankles and wrists. I knew I could get free without much effort with my wolf, but I sensed my wolf wasn’t at full strength yet. For now, I need to bide my time and assess the situation. It was clear someone had it out for me.Trying not to make any sudden movements, I looked around the area. Building materials surrounded me, acting as a wall, so I couldn’t figure out where I was.

Accalia-Over the course of three days, it was impossible to get away from Zydan. He hovered over her and wouldn’t give her any room. At night, I would try leaving through the bedroom door, but he slept in the shared closet, where I couldn’t get past him without waking him. I have gone as far as climbing over the balcony, but Zydan had men stationed everywhere.After he brought me home, I learned he hired guards to protect me. I knew I could find a way to escape at any point during the three days, but I decided not to push my luck. Luckily, today, he decided to go to work and leave me at the apartment alone.I would be happy to know Zydan cares if it weren't annoying. I just felt as if he was taking things a little too far. Lying on my bed, I waited for Eclipse to let me know he was ready to create a distraction.Zydan might have left, but his men were still everywhere. Two were standing by the door in the hall, two were standing on the rooftop, and three were stationed below the balc

Accalia-“Matt?” I kept my voice low, but when he didn’t respond, I spoke louder as I repeated his name a few more times.“Thank you.” Matt whispered after the fourth time I called his name.Helping him sit up, I looked into his hazel and very human eyes. “How are you feeling?” I asked.“Normal.” The corners of his mouth twitched. “More than normal. I feel my wolf, but it isn’t fighting for control. It feels as if it is sleeping.” A smile broke out across his face.“Now that I helped you, hopefully you can help me.” I moved to my feet with Eclipse’s assistance.“I don’t know if I can tell you everything you want to know, but I will tell you everything that I do know.” Matt also moved to his feet, but instead of standing, he went to sit on the small cot in the cell.I considered letting him leave the cell, but I decided keeping him inside until after the full moon was better. After that, I will decide what to do with him. Turning to Silica and Eclipse, I told them they could leave. Sil
Twist of Fate Chapter 35
Accalia-Returning to Matt’s cell, I saw him sitting on the cot. “If you promise to be good, I will give you more freedom, so you don’t need to stay in the cell.” I spoke through the small window on the door.“I promise!” Matt jumped off the cot.I couldn’t help but think that Matt reminded me of Jon. Even if he was a half-breed, there was still an air of innocence to him. Despite being in the situation he had been in and needing to deal with bad people to keep his sister safe, he didn’t seem to lose himself in the process.If he didn’t cause any trouble or make me regret helping him, I felt he would make an excellent addition to the team. Maybe not a member of the Renegades. More like a mascot of a sort. He could also turn out to be an asset, but that would depend on if he had any redeemable qualities that would be beneficial.“Okay, then you can come out, and I will take you to the main building. Just remember, if you try anything, you will either be killed or return to the cell.”“
Twist of Fate Chapter 36
Accalia-Returning to my office, I saw Matt working his way through the helping of spaghetti I had given him. Instead of staying in the office to call my dad, I grabbed my phone and went to Silica’s office. After calling my father, I nervously told him I had lost my charms but found my mother’s. I then explained that the charm wasn’t strong enough.I expected him to get upset with me or ask me how I lost it, but he didn’t do either. “There is a place you can go to enhance the charm. Your wolf is a lot stronger than your mother’s was.”I thought he would want to talk a little more, but he told me he had to go as he was busy with something. Once he hung up, I received a text with the location where I needed to go to enhance the charm. It was on the way to the apartment, so I figured I could swing by when Silica took me home.Once again, I returned to my office, and Matt was finished eating this time. I considered telling him we could talk about his past another time, as I was eager to t
