The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 108 RYN

"Your Highness, she just stabbed me. An Alpha!" Alpha Jack bellowed. "That's a crime punishable by death!"

Theon's gaze fell on his father's claws dug deep into my arm and instantly, the Alpha King let me go. I gripped my arm in pain, trying to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. In a flash, Theon was by my side and I raised my head to see him bring out a white handkerchief and delicately wrap it around my wound. "Wait f

for me upstairs. Got it?" He said and I stared into his eyes before nodding. Theon then stepped aside for me to leave but I paused when Alpha Jack stepped forward. "Your Highness, I'm not done with her!" Alpha Jack stated, his face twisted in anger as he turned to the Alpha King.

"He's right." Theon's father

stated. "She hurt him. She deserves to be punished."

A cold drop of sweat ran down my back. Theon turned to him with a scathing glare, and began to crack his knuckles. "Ryn?" He called, without taking his eyes off his father. "Yes, my Prince." I glanced between them both.

"Go upstairs and wait for me there." His voice left no room for hesitation and I obeyed instantly.

My legs felt like jelly as I tried to breathe in a room thick with Alpha aura, then my steps slowed when I glanced at Dutton standing away from the commotion, his eyes filled with awful hatred. I matched his stare with one of my own and raised my chin in defiance. Without a second glance, I left the room, and Ldidn't stop until I was back in the office. After that, my confidence left me and I began to pace around. Will Theon really face his father for me?

I checked my wristwatch and realized I had half an hour left before the event started. Sitting down on the sofa, I held my head in my hands and wondered what the hell would happen? What if I truly get arrested for stabbing Alpha Jack? My career and my life will be over. Thirteen minutes later, the door opened and the moment I saw Theon walk through the door, dressed in his crisp white shirt and grey slacks, I rose to my feet. Searching his eyes, I found nothing but cold indifference and I suddenly became wary, wondering if my ex-Alpha said something off about me.

Theon reached behind him and brought out a knife that looked very much like mine. Panic set in, thundering through my heart. What is he going to do? Has he been sent to kill me?

Paralyzed to the spot, I stared up at the big man as he approached, his face unreadable.

He reached out his left hand, and the moment his finger touched my neck, a shiver ran down my spine. His lashes moved as his finger ran down the length of my neck. Instantly, I felt my nipples tighten and my breathing get heavier with anticipation. His finger curled under my pendant and moonstone amulet, and brought them out of my shirt.

Then he stared at them for a moment, before raising the knife. Like watching an ember come to life, I watched as Theon's eyes slowly changed color until it came fiery red. In one move, he cut the thumb of his left hand and as it bled, he touched the moonstone with it. Instantly, it shone, glowing blue and then red and just as it did that, I felt the pain in my stomach disappear and my wolf stretch as she received strength. I felt every muscle, tendon and bone in my body become renewed and I felt the slow

burning desire that I had for him, become a raging storm.

That's when I realized he just gave me more of his lifeforce.

"H-How?" I asked, breathlessly.

"Healer Kwan stopped me on my way in." He whispered as if he were lost in another memory. "He told me everything because he's worried about you."

My heart stuttered. "E-Everything?"

Theon nodded and in a flash, he had his hand wrapped around my throat. "Why didn't you tell me?" He queried, his fiery eyes burning brighter. Despite the intensity of his anger, I realized he wasn't obstructing my airway.

"I didn't want to hurt you." I stated. "Ever since you got hurt because of me, I couldn't bear to make you go through that again."

His red eyes flickered back to blue, "So you endured all that pain? You resorted to a nasty diet and endured all that? For me?"

My voice trembled with the urge to cry but I held myself. "It was the least I could do."

Theon stared at me for a long moment. "Open your mouth." He ordered quietly and without hesitation, l'obeyed.

Our eyes never left each other as he placed his bleeding thumb in it and I closed my lips around it and sucked. His eyes flickered from red to blue and back as his lips slacked apart. He stared at my face with a desperate longing before holding my face and pulling me in

for a kiss.

When our lips touched, lightning struck from my mouth to my core and before I knew it, I was lifted up in Theon's arms, my legs wrapped around his waist. Gods! I wanted him so bad, tears sprung out of my eyes. Why can't this man be mine? Why? Why am I doomed to be mateless?

Whe

He held me tight as our tongues battled for dominance. I felt myself going down and realized Theon was laying me on top of the sofa. I want this. I want him.

Yes.

Hel knelt between my legs, kissing me passionately, from my mouth to my jaw, and my neck. I sighed in satisfaction, arching my back. I had no idea what I was doing, or why. I just knew my hands flew to his belt, desperate to unbuckle it. Theon grabbed my wrists and pinned them together above my head with one hand.

His face brightened with a teasing smile. "You're high on my life force, Ryn. You're not ready for this."

"And I how do you know?

know?" I retorted, panting for breath.

He hesitated. "Maybe I don't know but what I am sure of is as much as I want to deflower you, I'd rather wait till you're clear headed and sure than have you under the influence of this stone."

I stared at him in disbelief and awe. "What if at the end of the day, after taking the antidote, I feel nothing for you."

He smiled bitterly. "Then, so be it but first, there's something I have to tell you."

Just then, we heard the announcer's voice starting the event and I checked my wristwatch. Three minutes left. Shit!

Theon got to his feet and helped me up. Immediately, I began to feel anxious as I composed myself and proceeded for the door. Before I could go, Theon held my wrist and pulled me back in for a kiss. 09.56 09.56 Chapter 108

Then he held my face and stared into my eyes. "I want you to go in there and I want you to win. The game will be rigged against you but you've got this. Whatever it takes, okay?"

I nodded in agreement. "Whatever it takes.

In just two minutes, I joined the boys at the entrance of the stadium-like arena where Quarterbacks used to play football. From the way everyone stood, I could tell that they were tense and anxious. The announcer called the contesters out one by one and the closer it got to my name, the faster my heart beat. "KONAN CAINE!" The crowd cheered and I raised my head to see him stare at my pendant and then my face before running out into the field.

My brows pulled together, wondering what that look meant. Is he going to try and grab it again?

Without hesitation, I removed my pendant, kissed it before putting it in my pocket.

"And finally

from Lycantide High, the first female warrior in the making, RYN ASHMORE!"

I jogged out onto the field to the almost deafening roar of the people in the stands. Coming to stand in a straight line next to the contestants, I was overwhelmed with awe as almost everyone was standing and chanting my name

Girls, mothers, women, boys and some men too. Tears sprang to my eyes.

Gods! They are cheering me on.

Gods! I can't fail.

My heart hammered fast as my eyes landed on the Alpha King seating in the VIP area in the distance along with Dutton, Alpha Jack and Theon. They all had eyes on me but the King's own eyes drew me in and as we exchanged glares, I felt my wolf rise to the surface, stronger than ever, as if she had been awakened.

"On the count of three, the contestants will begin the first event. One."

My eyes shifted to Theon, watching me with warmth in his gaze.

"Two."

I set my eyes on the target before me and prepared to run.

Instead of three, a gunshot sounded in the air. "LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!"
