Chapter 31

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

Chapter 32

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.

Chapter 33

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

Chapter 34

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

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.”“

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

Chapter 37

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

Chapter 38

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

Chapter 39

Accalia-“Thank you, everyone, for being here. I know many of you are getting impatient, but we will officially kick off the event soon.” Zydan spoke into the microphone on the stage.“I didn’t mind waiting for the Lightning Queen to appear.” Someone yelled from the crowd.Although I appreciated their words, I didn’t smile. Keeping my attention on Zydan, I became more aware of Arielle as she approached the stage. Once she was in my peripheral vision, I noticed the sweet smile she had plastered on her face as she gazed up at Zydan.Something caught my attention in how she looked at him, so I pulled my eyes off Zydan and focused on Arielle. Her expression didn’t match her body language. For a split second, I thought she was still on edge about what I said, but that didn’t seem right.I studied her for a long time, trying to figure out what my instincts were trying to tell me, but my mind couldn’t grasp it. Something seemed off about her, something potentially dangerous. I was starting t

Chapter 40

Zydan-While I held Arielle, I struggled not to push her away. Part of me was happy that I had found the girl I had been searching for, while the other had doubts. This entire time, I had been looking for my savior, and I couldn't believe it turned out to be her. If it weren't for the necklace she had, I would have never suspected it to be Arielle. "What do you mean you found me?" Arielle asked, her voice muffled by my chest. "Let's go talk in private." I released my hold on her as I stood. I reached out to her and helped her off the ground. I knew that everyone around us was mad at her, but now I couldn't let anything happen to her. She saved my life despite everything, so I owed her more than I could currently repay. "Are you just letting her off the hook?" Brett stepped forward, anger blazing in his eyes. "Not exactly, but things are a little more complicated than I thought.” I stepped back, keeping Arielle tucked behind me to face everyone. “I promise to give everyone an expl
