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

    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.”“

    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

    Zydan-“Why are you avoiding Lia?” Jaxon asked, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed on the coffee table.“I’m not.” I kept my attention on one of the various emails I was reading.“You can fool everyone except for me. You haven’t been home for over a week, and you ignore any call or text you receive from Lia. If you see her around the office, you detour to avoid running into her.”Clenching my jaw, I stared at the email I had been trying to focus on for the past ten minutes. He was right. I was avoiding Lia, but only because I couldn’t grasp my emotions. Ever since I found out that there was a possibility that Jaxon had found the girl I had been searching for, my mind kept going back to that night six years ago.“Is it about the girl?” Jaxon asked, and I wondered if he could read my mind.“No.” I lied.Guilt hit me like a tidal wave, not only for my lie but because of my uncertainty toward Lia. I felt I was in love with her, but I couldn’t help but think I had just developed the

    Accalia-“What is wrong?” Silica asked as she helped me secure the black corset with intricate purple lightning designs.“Nothing.” I murmured as I looked at my reflection in the mirror.Today was the event, and Silica helped me get ready. I knew I should be focused on getting ready and arriving at the event on time, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Zydan. For the past two weeks, I’ve barely seen him. When I saw him, he avoided me and seemed distracted.I shouldn’t let it bother me because today, I would expose the truth that Arielle is nothing more than my cousin. After everything she has done in my name, I couldn’t continue to let her go unchecked. I have also been considering telling Zydan about my identity as Akira. Whether I reveal my identity as Accalia was still up in the air.“I don’t know if you seriously believe that there is nothing wrong or are trying to fool yourself into believing that is the case.” Silica ticked her tongue a few times. “As long as I have known you, I

    Accalia-“I already told you that whenever you are ready, I was willing. All you need to do is say the word. I know you wanted to wait to become Alpha Queen, so there is no rush. I will wait until you are ready.”My smile widened. “I am ready now.”Zydan’s face paled, and I wondered if he had second thoughts about marrying me. “Wait. Are you serious?”“I have never been more serious.” I nodded. “I realized that while I was going through all my memories again, I have always focused on what mattered to me and what I wanted. I thought I was making the right decision by waiting until my project was complete and becoming Alpha Queen before marrying you again. I now understand that when I get married was never important. Even if I am married, I can still abolish the marriage law for the future generations.”“Then when do you want to get married?” Zydan smiled, and excitement sparkled in his eyes.“Now.” I stated bluntly.“What about the wedding?” My father asked when Zydan threw my covers o

    Accalia-Ow, my head, I thought as I started to wake up. Opening my eyes, I took in my surroundings but didn’t recognize where I was. I was lying on a large bed with a dark purple comforter and black sheets. I also wasn’t alone in the room.The person sitting on the edge of the bed was looking at his phone and not me, so I tried not to move. I didn’t recognize the man, so I didn’t want to make sudden movements until I knew the situation. I was oddly familiar with the man and the room but couldn’t remember anything.“Good, you are awake.” A voice I didn’t recognize spoke as someone I didn’t recognize walked to the side of the bed where the man was sitting.“How are you feeling?” The man, who had been preoccupied with his phone, quickly turned on the bed to look at me.Without a word, I slowly sat up and flinched when the man tried to help me. He took his hand back, but the look in his eyes was filled with pain. Sitting on the bed, I rested my back on the headboard and continued looking

    Zydan-Rolling to my side, I avoid Shaw’s attack, but it takes a moment for me to get onto my feet. My ears rang from the hit he delivered when I put myself between him and Lia. Once I was on my feet, I prepared myself for another attack.A sudden burst of energy erupted around me, and it took me a moment to understand that it was Lia’s wolf. Since I was between her and Shaw, I witnessed the moment Shaw was hit with a small lightning bolt. It zapped him but didn’t seem to do any harm.When Shaw’s attention moved past me, I realized she had only used enough of a shock to get his attention. Turning my attention to Lia, I witnessed her transformation into a black wolf with the most captivating violet eyes I have ever seen. It wasn’t until now that I realized this was the first time I had seen her wolf.More than that, Lia’s wolf, Akira, had purple streaks of lightning swarming her as if caressing the fur on her body. The power that rolled off her was nearly ten times more intense than in

    Accalia-Staring at the computer in a trance, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It has been two weeks since I sent Arielle and the other test subjects out. I thought it would take more time to determine the results from the final phase, but the indicators on the screen didn’t lie.The full moon was three days ago, and every test subject had maintained excellent results. I could have ended the final testing a week ago, but I put it off until after the full moon. I wanted to be sure there weren’t any issues. For the first time since I began the project, I felt as if a lot of pressure lifted from my shoulders.“Is something wrong?” Emily’s voice pulled me from my trance.“We did it.” I mumbled without taking my eyes off the computer screen.“Seriously?” Emily asked and then shoved me to the side so she could look at the computer. “I don’t understand this stuff, but the indicators are the best I have seen.”“We did it.” I repeated as if I needed more confirmation.Suddenly, I jumped out of my ch

    Zydan-Upon returning to the lab, I watched helplessly as Lia became busy again. It wasn’t like before. This time, it was as if she needed to keep herself busy in order to survive. Every time I tried to approach her, she would move on to her next task.When the volunteers Darnell sent to us arrived, it took away more of her freedom. I tried to help her, but there wasn’t much for me to do. Everyone was working hard to speed up the research results. Over the course of three weeks, we went from only having Arielle as a volunteer to having twenty more.We tried to see if the results from Arielle’s implant would be the same without the full moon. After the second volunteer was implanted and was able to shift and have the same results as Arielle, they continued implanting more volunteers. I couldn’t begin to understand what was going on with Lia or why she was pushing herself too hard, but I knew I couldn’t do much to help.I had a feeling it had much to do with the pressure she was under a

    Accalia-“Forgive me! I didn’t know.” The man who had greeted us when we arrived said.Shaking my head, I smiled and turned to face him. “It has been a while since I have been here, and although my identity is no longer a secret, not everyone knows who I am.”“I still should have sensed you.” The man kept his attention on his feet, with his head bowed.“I was severely injured recently, so my wolf is resting.” I stepped forward and placed my hand on his shoulder. “Seriously, it is no big deal.” I dropped my hand when he lifted his head.“Well, now that you are here, I will report the most recent developments. I assume you were at the Kenyon residence?” He asked, and I nodded in response.“The members who went after the attackers just reported back.” The man continued as I turned to open the office door so that we could discuss things in private.He stopped talking long enough to sit on a chair across from my desk. Instead of sitting, I leaned against the desk, resting my hip on the edg

    Zydan-When the fire finally started disappearing, I was overjoyed. No longer feeling the need to keep spraying the house, I rushed forward to help Lia. The fire wasn’t completely out, but the majority of it was, other than a few small areas. The biggest issue now is the smoke.As I ran toward the house, I saw a group of people gathered, anxiously looking at the house. It looked like they were all inside the fire, meaning Lia had helped them escape. Looking around, I hoped to see Lia, but she wasn’t in the crowd.“Where is Lia?” I asked the couple huddled together, leaning on each other for support.“She went inside to save my son!” The man said, who I recognized as Darrion Kenyon’s father.“She is still inside?” My eyes quickly moved to the house, and fear plunged into me, nearly suffocating me.Even if the fire wasn’t as bad, it was still dangerous. With how many she had already saved, I assumed her wolf was reaching its limits. I tried to sense her, but the signal was weak. Without

    Accalia-“What is going on?” I asked as I glanced at Zydan.“I don’t have time to explain, but we need your help. We are under attack!” Darrion yelled, and not even a second later, I heard a crash, followed by the call being disconnected.I rushed into the lab and quickly informed Emily that I needed to leave. “What is wrong?” She asked.“I don’t know, but I believe the Kenyon family is under attack. Darrion called me, and it sounds urgent. Due to their distance, I have no choice but to go myself. Can you handle things until I return?”“Don’t worry about things here. I will take care of them. We have more than enough staff.”“Thank you!” I turned away from her to talk to the tech team and saw Jason.Although he wasn’t always in the lab, he was the one person I knew who could handle things on a technical level until I returned. I barely took two steps before he yelled out to me.“Don’t worry, I got it from here. You take care of whatever you need to.”Nodding my head, I turned to leave

    Accalia-“Arielle told me what happened with everyone after I fell asleep.” I twisted in my seat to look at Zydan.“I admit that I have let my thoughts run wild. There are times I feel as if I am not worthy of you. I feel I haven’t contributed enough when I see how hard you work. If I had done more, you wouldn’t be working yourself so hard.” His focus remained on the road as he spoke.“You know, I couldn’t do half of the things I can do if it weren’t for you and everyone around me.” I smiled as I took his free hand in mine.“You are the future Queen, the leader of the Renegades, and in charge of a project that can change the world.”“My identity doesn’t define me. I might be the future Queen, but that has much to do with who my parents are. It isn’t like I came from nothing and worked my way up to that point. As far as being the leader of the Renegades, you have a huge part to play in that.”“What do you mean?” Zydan glanced in my direction briefly before focusing on the road.“When I
