The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

MIRO

I had no intention of coming to work today but after a call front Sadie, I realized I had to mend things with Ryn. I never meant for her to blow her only friend off. I just didn't like the effect she had on my brother. The moment I arrived at the center, I immediately felt weird.

My wolf began to go restless, pacing around and showing signs of nervousness, I rubbed my chest, wondering what was wrong but I couldn't think of an answer. I decided to go to my office first before sending for Ryn but then I noticed I haven't seen any of the trainees, Calling one of the security guards, I asked for their whereabouts and they pointed me to the Simulation room. 1 frowned. Were we already that far ahead in the curriculum?

I decided to see how things were going myself. The closer I got, the more restless my wolf became until I was sure something was really wrong. Just a few feet to the door, all the lights began to flicker and surge. What in the world was going on?

The door to the simulation room was originally made to be soundproof so when I yanked it open, the first thing I heard was pure chaos. At first, I didn't understand what was going on as I saw the boys staring at something on the screen and heard some of them laughing. A few saw me as I entered the room and from the look on their faces, I could tell they were horrified. Then I saw Ryn strapped to the simulation chair screaming at the top of her lungs and Coach Dutton standing beside her with his face etched in a sadistic smile. "Please, get me out!" She wept and when I saw the screen, I saw lier being chased by a mutant. She fell and began to scramble back from the beast. "Please! No!" She cried and someone laughed. Instantly, my blood ran cold.

Within seconds I was at the second door trying to get in and when I found it locked, I stepped back and kicked it open. The door fell off its hinges and when Coach Dutton saw me, his eyes widened.

"My Prince!" He said but I was moving past him to the chair. I grabbed the biggest wire connected to the chair and yanked it out. Instantly, everything quieted down, and Ryn relaxed, with her head lolled to the side.

I removed the collar around her neck first, and put my hands on both sides of her face. I realized her temperature was close to feverish.

"Ryn, wake up. I said, but her eyes were closed and she was unresponsive. My wolf began to whine and pace more frantically.

"My Prince. I can explain. Coach Dutton began.

"Get a Healer here. Now!" I ordered and heard footsteps leading out of the room.

"Ryn" I called again, starting to regret not coming to work early If I had been around, I'd have never let her be treated this

way I noticed the tears and snot running down her face and I brought out my handkerchief to clean them. Afterwards, I removed the rest of her sharkles and with one arm under the back of her knees and her arm around me. I carried her against my chest and walked out of the L Chapter 33

By the time I left the building. I found Healers running towards us with a stretcher. Slowly, I lowered Ryn's body on the bed and followed them while explaining the situation to them. They promised to take care of her as we entered the clinic and I was left to y in the waiting area until further notice.

Since I wasn't the type to wait, I went back to the training center and found Coach Dutton talking seriously to the trainees. Once he saw me, he stopped and changed his demeanor to one of niceness. "My Prince." He bowed.

"My

office now!" I ordered but he hesitated, glancing back at the boys before eventually leaving the room.

I turned to them. looking each in the face as they lowered their gaze to the floor. "You all disgust me!"

"Ryn is your fellow Elite. The first of her Kind, trying her best to pave the way for women to have a chance at protecting their packs and country. You saw her in distress, at the height of hier worst fears and what did you do? You laughed" I shook my head. "Imagine if this was real! Ryn being faced by a real mutant, is that how you'll abandon and laugh at her?!"

"No sir!" They all

****k up!" I grimaced. "You all are hypocrites! And for what you have done, you all must run two hundred laps around the building in three hours."

I raised their heads in surprise before quickly looking down.

"Yesssss." I smirked, enjoying the distress on their faces. "Two hundred laps around the building in 3 hours will put you at a speed similar to running for your life. Let's see how funny it is then. Now go!"

They all filed out of the training room, looking defeated and afterwards, I went to my office. The moment I entered, I met Dutton already seated and that made me even more angry.

"Get up." I said and he instantly obeyed and bowed once again.

"Why did you make Ryn go through that exercise without proper training?"

Dutton hesitated, "Well, it was their first time learning about simulation and conquering fears. I needed someon practice and Miss Ryn offered to help"

I ground my jaw in anger. "Ryn just recently suffered a head trauma. Why would you allow her to volunteer for such?!" Coach Dutton opened his mouth to speak and then closed it. "I thought she was fully healed. I-It skipped my mind." I scoffed. "It slipped your mind?" I took a step forward, arms crossed behind me, "Remember what I said I'd do to concerning Ryn?" His eyes widened in fear. "I swear I haven't crossed any professional line. Please sir! 1-1 need this job!"

I glared at him for a moment. "Fine. You can go but you'll be the one to n

pay medical bills."

"Of course, My Prince!" He nodded a little too eagerly for my liking.

"Dismissed.

Dutton bowed once again before leaving my office. I sighed and sent a text to the Healer in charge of Ryn's care to ask about her wellbeing. Then, I went to my seat and when I sat, I leaned back in my chair, facing the ceiling Should I tell my brother about this?

I sighed and shook my head, He's had enough drama lately. Knowing him, he'd probably have Dutton fired within seconds. and my Father would hear of it and then trace it back to Ryn and it'd just be a terrible mess. I'll have to handle this myself while finding a way not to trigger my father's bound authority.

A thought suddenly occurred to me, making me sit down and turning on my computer. I remembered the image I saw of Ryn's worst fears and pulled up the footage of that on my computer. My phone beeped and I got a message from the Healer informing me that Ryn was fine but needed to rest before anyone could see her.

Relieved at the news, I thanked the Healer and focused on the footage showing what she saw in the simulation. It was nasty and I could only imagine how traumatizing it was for Ryn's late parents to call her a monster. But why? But why?

Why was she afraid of being called a monster? And why would she see a mutant? Has she seen one before?

She hadn't even gotten to that part of the training yet. All these and more became questions that plagued me as I signed out of my office an hour later. I decided Ryn should have rested enough so I headed for the clinic to see her, Once I asked directions to her ward. I wondered how I was going to face her after hurting her feelings the last time.

The moment I reached the door, someone bumped into me and when I realized who it was anger sparked in my bones.

Cause what the hell was Coach Dutton doing in Ryn's room?

CHAPTER 31

What are you doing here?" I asked..

Coach Dutton's eyes widened. "Oh. I uhm-" He swallowed. "I felt sorry for Ryn so I came to check in on her. She's awake now, My Prince."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I watched him squirm for a moment and when I looked into the room and found Ryn watching us, I decided to let him go. Despite Ryn being aware of my presence, I knocked on the open door before walking further into the room. Then I slowed in my steps. By the gods, Ryn had become even more beautiful than the last time I saw her. My wolf stirred, prompting me, to go near her and I had to blink back to my senses.

Now I see why my brother was so mesmerized with her. His blood transfusion must have done a lot more than healing her

wounds.

Ryn continued to watch me as I closed the distance between us. Usually, I could tell what she was feeling through her eyes but now, she simply stared at me blankly like I was a stranger.

"Hi" I said, suddenly wondering if I should have brought flowers.

"Commander." She whispered and from her voice, I could tell she was terribly sad.

I Coach Dutton threaten you?" I asked and she looked away before shaking her head.

So if he didn't, why is she so sad?

"I saw the footage of your simulation." I said and Ryn's eyes snapped to me. "Very traumatic experience indeed considering what you've been through lately. Just wanted to let you know it's not real. It's just a world created by your mind. I'm sure your parents never felt that way about you."

"And I how are you so sure?" She whispered and I suddenly became at a loss for words. Ryn saw my hesitation and looked away. U Chapter 33

"Is Priser Theon around?" Ryn asked, drawing me from my thoughts.

Well, one day is not today." I said, taking a seat at the kitchen island, and placing my laptop on it.

"It will be if I open a pot and don't find food in it." Theon grumbled but when he opened one of the pots, he nodded in satisfaction. "Nice"

I became offended. "That's coconut chicken curry. I'm supposed to get something other than 'nice."

Theon shrugged, sitting with his plate. "There's nothing extra-ordinary about this. It's still the same way you

make it."

I opened my mouth but couldn't find any words to say so I just shook my head. At least, if it were Ryn she would have been. gushing all over my food by now. 1 paused. That reminds me. Theon doesn't know what happened yet. Should I tell him or should I keep it under wraps? I stared at the video playing over and over again on my laptop. He has to know.

"How's Ryn?" My brother asked as he took a bite.

I hesitated, wondering how best to table the matter. "She's...getting better."

Theon's brows pulled together as he stopped chewing for a moment. "What do you mean by that?"

I sighed and narrated what happened. The more Theon heard, the colder his eyes got and I barely finished when he stood up and took his food to the sink. He found a plate to cover it and then he began to wash his hands.

"What does it look like?" He answered, grabbing a towel to clean his hands. "I'm going to see her and don't you f***g tell

His eyes shifted as he watched the video and then he blinked in surprise before looking at me. "A mutant entered the center? When was this?"

"What was she doing there?"

"Looking for a place to stay after her pack kicked her out."

Theop sighed. "Seems wherever Byn goes, trouble seems to follow."

"I told you."

"Still, what was a mutant doing around my office?"

"That's the thing. I'm starting to think the way these mutants move, they are way too co-ordinated to just be random. Someone is leading them and they are getting smarter and tougher by the day."

Theon set his hands on his hips and stared into space before shaking his head.

"Just something floating around my head. At first, I didn't think much of it but now, with what I've just seen, it's starting to bother me

"What is it?"

I leaned forward, resting my arms on the kitchen island. "Talk to me."

"The night not hit by a car, I saw a mutant on the roof watching us."

I frowned. "And it didn't attack?"

Theon shook his head.

"That doesn't sound right." I said.

"I know and that is why I am worried. What if these two occasions aren't just coincidences? What if the mutant was there at the training center not because of me but because of her?"

"We can't know for sure." I said. "The two elements involve you both. Ryn didn't mention seeing the mutant again after that and you haven't had any other encounter aside from that day in the field. So we can't know for sure until a third coincidence happens." "So what are you saying?" Theon asked. I sighed. "I can't believe I'm saying this but to know the truth, you can no longer stay away from Ryn."
