Twist of Fate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

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-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

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

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-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
