All Chapters of Twist of Fate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Accalia-“I am not going to ask you again,” My father grumbled, his voice muffled by the bedroom door.“Unless you are willing to discuss this, I am not coming out of my room!” I yelled.“This isn’t up for discussion!” His authoritative and thunderous voice echoed through the hallway.My father has never yelled at me, so I knew that I was testing his patience. Since the day I was born, he has doted on me. No matter what I asked for, he gave in to me. I should be the one giving in to him now, but his request was over the top.“I am not going to agree to an arranged marriage.” I mumbled, knowing fully well he could hear me.“I love you, Accalia, but you can’t become the Queen without a King.” His voice softened, but his tone was still demanding.When my great-grandfather was the Alpha King, he helped establish peace with the humans. Now, humans and werewolves co-existed. Other supernatural creatures were still in the dark, but our kind overpopulated the world.Almost five hundred years

Accalia-It was only twenty minutes into the party, and I was already trying to plan my escape. My father forced me to follow him around the ballroom, interacting with strangers. He wanted to introduce me to everyone he saw, even if he didn’t know them.At least Alpha Hynes was keeping his distance. I spotted him the moment I entered with my father. He was sulking in the back of the room, talking to a guy with his back turned toward me. My father kept trying to make his way toward Alpha Hynes.Whenever we got close to him, Alpha Hynes maneuvered to another side of the room. I admit I was a little curious about him now because, unlike everyone else, he was the only person who wasn’t trying to win favor with my father. Maybe he was like me and didn’t want to get married.“Your daughter is beautiful.” A woman wearing a white glittering mask that didn’t match her ugly green dress said.I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing. She was the tenth person to say I was beauti

Accalia-This man has clearly lost his mind. Who in their right mind would approach a complete stranger and tell that person to marry them? Taking a bite of chicken off the skewer in my hand, I studied him intently.His appearance looked disheveled. Either he had just come from a party and had a little too much fun, or he was simply on the verge of going crazy. His black suit was plain, without any distinguishing features. His tie was loose as if he had pulled at it out of frustration, and the top button of his white shirt was undone.The other reason he could be like this was that he was drunk, but he didn’t smell like he drowned himself in liquor. His short black hair looked as if he had rolled out of bed without combing it or running his fingers through it one too many times. When my gaze returned to his face, I couldn’t help but notice how blue his eyes were.It was almost as if I was looking into a sea of water, willing to submerge myself in its depths. His features were rugged a

Accalia-Returning to my room, I fling myself on the oversized bed. Belly flopping on the bed, I laughed and kicked my legs a few times before rolling onto my back. Sighing, I gaze up at the ceiling. It slowly dawned on me that this would be the same ceiling I would look at for the following year.I don’t know what made me agree to marry someone I had just met, let alone move in with them. If my father got wind of this, there would be no telling what he might do. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got remarried and had another child just to spite me.I considered for a moment but shook my head. After my mother died, giving birth to me, he refused to be with anyone else. I often tried to get him to move on, but he always said the same thing.“Your mother was the light of my life, and I will never love anyone the way I loved her. When my time is over, I will be by her side for all of eternity.” He said every time I tried telling him to try dating.Seeing the love he had for my mother, even t

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
