Lahat ng Kabanata ng Twist of Fate: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Accalia-When we arrived at the hotel, I was surprised that the party was already in full swing. I thought we would have arrived an hour early, so there weren’t as many people. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one because the room was full of pure-blood werewolves.The fact that there weren’t any half-breeds made me feel at ease. At least this way, there shouldn’t be any mishaps at the event. That did make me worried that there might be issues elsewhere.“Are you on your way?” I texted Silica when she still hadn’t arrived after ten minutes.“I will be after a bit; right now, Jon is tracking what looks like a high level of wolf activity.” Silica responded a minute later.“Okay. Let me know if I am needed. This party is a little boring.” I looked up from my phone and saw Zydan standing across the room with a crowd of people.My phone vibrated, alerting me to another text from Silica. “Don’t worry, I will be there soon. Isn’t Zydan keeping you company?”“As soon as we walked into the room,

Accalia-“You are hurt.” Zydan grabbed my injured arm, which had a large gash from Arielle.“I am fine.” I snatched my arm back.“I can bandage it for you.” Zydan offered.“Seriously, I will be fine.” I tried not to smile or meet his gaze.“Lia!” Zydan suddenly jerked his head around and rushed back into the event hall.“Crap.” I groaned as I ran after him.I don’t know why I chased him, but when I saw the door to the room, he hid me in had been damaged, an idea formed in my head. Quickly running away, I used a different room and quietly closed the door. In full panic mode, I tried to transform myself into Lia again. I managed to do so as the door burst open, and Zydan entered the room.The mask I had worn was still in my hand, so I hid it behind my back. Zydan approached me, wrapping his arms around my shoulders and hugging me tightly. My injured arm hurt as he squeezed it, but I tried to ignore the pain.“What happened?” Zydan pulled away, and his eyes roamed over me until focusing

Accalia-I wished I had given Zydan more time before sending him to training. During the twenty-four hours I gave him, he used it to ensure everything was in order for him to disappear for a month. I thought things would be okay the first few days after he left, but when the third week came around, I started to have doubts.Zydan repeatedly assured me that he wasn’t mad that I hid who I was from him, yet I couldn’t stop thinking he was angry. Besides the instructions I gave him before leaving, he hadn’t said much about us. I have heard he was doing well with his training, but we haven’t spoken since he left.He was allowed to have his phone after training but hasn’t contacted me. I have sent him a few texts to ask how he was holding up, but he never responded. Every time I tried calling him, it went straight to voicemail. Maybe I was overthinking things.Aside from Zydan being gone, not much had changed for me. I focused on researching what my mother left behind and on work. There was

Accalia-“Why don’t you stay the night before returning?” My father asked as I opened the front door to leave.“No, I need to return.” I kept walking, closing the door before he could say anything else.The funeral had been beautiful, but it still left me feeling dejected. I felt as if something was missing. Walking away from my family home, I climbed into the car my father prepared for me to take me to the airport.On the way to the airport, I sat in the back seat, looking out the window. I wasn’t paying attention to the scenery we drove by. Ever since I watched Brett’s casket being lowered into the ground, I have been physically numb.“We are here.” The driver said after he parked the car in front of the airport.“Thank you.” I murmured as I exited the vehicle.I hadn’t brought any luggage, so I went directly into the building. Going through the motions of checking in, I didn’t need to wait long to be allowed to board the private jet. As I was about to walk up the stairs, my phone r

Accalia-Today was the day, and the only thing I wanted to do was run for the hills. Until I walked into the hotel with Zydan, I was prepared to reveal my identity to everyone. Digging my heels in, I stopped walking and pulled Zydan to a stop.“What is wrong?” Zydan turned to face me.“I think I left something at the lab.” I tried to let go of Zydan’s hand, but he held it tight.“You checked over five times before we left the lab yesterday. Everything we need to show our project is right here.” He patted his free hand over his chest, where the flash drive we prepared rested in a pocket within the inner lining of his suit.“Then maybe we need to go over the material again.”“Take a deep breath. I know you are nervous, but everything is perfect. I believe we will get the funds once we meet with Accalia.”I could tell him I was Accalia right now, but I had already planned to reveal who I was in front of everyone. Since our relationship has improved, I thought I could surprise him. I plan
