The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 14 MIRO

"When was the last time you heard from her?" Theon asked as we exited the school building into the front yard.

"Almost a day? Sadie said with worry written all over her face. "I gave her my number so hopefully she'll call"

Theon placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll find her, okay?" Sadie nodded in response and entered into his embrace while I stood at a distance watching them

Ryn. There was something about her that I just couldn't put my finger on. Somehow, she had managed to affect the two most important people in my life, saving one and somehow fixing the other gradually.

Or is there more to this than meets the eye? Cause it's too much of a coincidence that she's friends with my cousin and now my brother who I know to be the coldest, and most dangerous person on the planet is now acting weird because of her? Something isn't adding up.

Still, I couldn't deny what Ryn had done to save Sadie. That took some real guts and despite not wanting to, I was starting to admire that about her.

After we said our goodbyes to Sadie, my brother and I walked the rest of the way to where our car was waiting.

"What if we can't find her?" I asked, suddenly breaking the silence between us.

"That's not an option, Brother." Theon replied but there was an edge to his voice. One that insinuated that if Ryn wasn't found, bad things might happen. I looked at my brother but his face was unreadable as usual and when I checked the bond between us. I felt nothing ei Just as we

got to the car and one side was open for me to enter, Theon's phone

pinged on the other side. He stopped to check it and froze and I could have sworn that I felt the slightest bit of warmth down our bond. It might have been a mistake on his part. An oversight. A slip of character but it happened and I decided not to acknowledge it. I want more of such mistakes to happen.

"What is it?" I asked and when my brother looked at me, his blue eyes suddenly had more vibrance and life to it. "I put out an APB on Ryn and the assistant coach just said he saw her at the center."

"Wow." I replied, watching my brother for more cues but his face betrayed no emotions. Just his eyes. "Well, let's go see her

then

The last time I saw Ryn, she had been attempting a dangerous wall climbing feat unsupervised and unharnessed. Now, she was sitting on a field, staring into space, looking more emaciated and tired than before. I was in a moving car, so she couldn't see me but one look at her made me know that something was seriously up with her.

Since she recently got expelled, I assumed that was the reason for her deterioration and suddenly, I found myself eager to give her the good news so she could at least be at peace. I wondered why though. I should hate her, especially since she's the reason I lost my cha We arrived at Theon's office which

was a grand, spacious room with a stunning view of the training fields below and the glearning cityscape in the far distance. Still miserable from my lingover, I went straight for his mini fridge and after checking the contents, I decided a glass of pineapple juice would suff The door opened and in came Ryn dressed in uniform. The temperature in the room immediately dropped as I was once

again reminded of how-breathtaking she actually was up close. Even when she looked worse than before, her defiant chin was raised and her eyes reflected no weakness of any kind.

"Good day, my Princes." She bowed her head, before glancing between us. "You asked to see me?"

"You have to do the talking." Theon mindlinked me just as I was about to drink from my glass,

I paused, with the glass almost at my lips and glared at him, before turning to Ryn. "Please sit," I said, and Ryn sat in the chair opposite us just like last time. I suddenly had their feeling of Deja Vu, remembering how she had put my brother and I in our place. "You wouldn't know a real woman even if she stared you in the face.

Now I was staring at her and when our eyes met, my breathing stuttered.

Damn. Those eyes. I forgot what a siren trap they were.

"Miro Focus!"

"We heard about your expulsion from Lycantide High. I crossed my arms in defense mode.

Her eyes widened as she shifted in her seat and licked her lips. "Tran explai-"

I held a hand to stop her. "You don't need to. It's already been sorted. Your expulsion has been canceled and you are allowed to graduate."

Ryn froze and then her confident mask fell. Her siren eyes shifted from me to Theon and back. "For real?" She whispered. disbelief written all over her face.

"For real." I said, fighting the smile tugging at my lips. Somehow, I was glad that Theon forced me to do the talking. Knowing that I was somewhat responsible for her joy oddly made ine feel like a hero.

Then she did something that I absolutely wasn't prepared for.

Ryn smiled, revealing perfect white teeth and in that moment, my brain went blank and I suddenly got the urge to want to be the reason she smiles like that.

"Thank you!" Ryn bowed her head and I could tell from the way ber face reddened that she was holding back a lot of

emotions.

"You're welcome." I nodded.

An awkward silenge settled upon us as there was nothing left to say and we stared at each other. Suddenly, Ryn's stomach grumbled loudly and her smile faltered as her expression changed to one of pain. "Sorry." She sighed, looking away before rising to her feet. "Am 1 free to go!"

Immediately, my brother rose as well. "When was the last time you ate something?"

Ryn's eyes widened a bit and she stared at Theon as if he had grown two heads. "A long while now. I was going to get something anywa-"

"Get lunch with me.. I'm buying." Theon said and I couldn't help but do a double take and wonder who possessed my twin brother. He always had his lunch alone and rarely with even me, myself Kyn hesitated for a moment and then her stomach grumbled again.

"Consider it a compensation of sorts for how you were treated poorly and aside from that, I have something important to discuss with you. So best we discuss over lunch. Thron persistedThis text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Sure." She smiled and my brother grabbed his coat.

"What are you doing?" I mindlinked him as soon as he retrieved his wallet and other items.

"Buying food for our Elite?" He replied. "You can see how underweight she's gotten"

"I know. But you could easily give her money, why dine with her

"Because I really have something important to discuss."

"That's it? Nothing else?"

"Like what?"

"You know what. Just admit you like her."

Theon passed by me and subtly stomped on my foot as he walked by causing me to close my eyes and purse my lips from groaning in pain.

Despite the pain, I smiled because the brother I used to know and love was back and it was happening because watched him follow her to the door and smiled bitterly. At least my brother has started to hang out with someone and I am happy for him. Just as they were about to leave, Theon turned to me. "Wanna join?"

Nothing on his face betrayed any emotion of any sort but I knew his request was sincere.

"Yea." 1 grinned and downed my glass of juice before leaving the room with them. Maybe there is hope for me too.
