Twist of Fate Chapter 9
Accalia-My movements froze, and I realized I had already made a mistake. The bike alone was expensive; as far as he knew, I had just moved to the area and hadn’t started working. My thoughts ran rapidly as I tried to think of something that wouldn’t make him suspicious.“I had some savings from college, so I bought it today.”“I am guessing it is a used bike?” Zy asked as he joined me at the table and started eating.“Uh, yeah. It didn’t cost much.”“Well, if you want, I can take it out for a spin to make sure everything works.” Zy offered.“Thank you, but I am okay. I already had everything checked out.” I rubbed my now sweaty palms on my thighs, hoping he would change the subject.“Sounds good.” Zy dipped his spoon in the soup I made, and his face lit up after he tried it. “Did you make this?”“Yeah.” I nodded.“I almost feel like I need to pay you to cook. This is the best I have had in a long time.” Zy continued to shovel mouthfuls of food into his mouth.Relaxing, I started eati

Accalia-When I reached the second floor to check in, I exhaled slowly. I made it just in time, with a minute to spare. Laying my badge on the counter, I smiled at the girl behind the desk.“My name is Lia Turner. I am checking in for my first day as an intern.”“You're late.” The girl snapped without looking up from her phone.“I am checking in at nine exactly.” I turned my phone to show her, which was lit up with the time and date displayed on the screen.“You are going to find out that around here, being on time means you are late. Everyone else is already here, so obviously, you are late.” She emphasized the word late as she set her phone down and snatched my badge off the raised counter. “Whatever, I will get you processed.”She mumbled something else, which sounded insulting, but I ignored it. After she scanned my badge, typed on her keyboard for a minute, and returned it to me, she waved her hand to dismiss me. Frowning, I wondered if everyone had this kind of attitude here.I

Accalia-Once the crosswalk was clear, I drove forward until I reached a few parking spots on the side of the street. After turning off the bike and pocketing the keys, I got off the bike but left my helmet on. Eclipse ran over before I could put the kickstand down.“How is your first day going?” He asked.“What are you doing here?” I asked, flipping my visor up.“I wanted to give you the latest update on how the new base was doing.” Eclipse, thankfully, communicated using our mind link.“I still need to keep a low profile, so you will oversee setting the base up. When I have a chance, I will contact you about it.” I looked from side to side as many people walked past us. “If you and Silica keep showing up unannounced, everything I am working toward will be exposed.”“At least let me know if you have any requirements.” He spoke through his mouth this time.Taking my helmet off, I smoothed out my hair in a low ponytail. “You have been with me for years. Are you saying that you don’t ha

Zydan-I am glad I went to Jaxon’s office when I returned to work. I wanted him to find out about Lia’s situation, so he pulled her file. While he was looking, I noticed the monitors behind him. I witnessed Lia stepping out of the elevator and coming face to face with my unwanted fiancé.Without thinking, I grabbed my mask and rushed out of the office. When I arrived, I silently prayed that Lia wouldn’t recognize me and learn I had lied to her. More than that, I wish I had thought about the possibility of my wife meeting my fiancé so soon.As I stood a few feet from Arielle, I couldn’t believe this was the future Queen of our kind. Not to mention, wasn’t she supposed to be hiding her identity? Either way, I needed to do something to help Lia out of this situation without making it seem intentional.“Now, would someone mind explaining what the situation is?” I asked, my eyes deadlocked on Arielle.“She was supposed to return with our lunches.” Arielle dropped her whiney tone and turned

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
