The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 45 MIRO

I hate her.

I hate the way I felt somewhat relieved when she made it in time to class.

!

I hate the way I felt when I saw her in critical condition at the clinic just this morning.

I hate how despite everything I said about my brother, she still felt the need to run out and meet him.

And now? I hate how her sassiness turns me on.

"Have I not warned you about this nasty attitude of yours?" I snarled as my hand tightened around her throat. Immediately, her eyes went round in fear and it reminded me of how Coach Dutton used to treat her. Instantly, I stepped away from her like she was a plague, leaving her flustered and me, breathless. As much as I'd like to teach. Ryn a lesson, the last thing I want was to traumatize her.

What t

the hell is wrong with me today and why am I suddenly so aggressive?

Ryn touched her throat and swallowed before running her hand through her silk, black hair. "Well," She sighed, "I tend to be nasty to people who aren't nice to me."

Hooked at her before breathing out a laugh. "Your smart mouth is definitely going to get you in trouble some day."

"Some day, but not today." She replied and I blinked in surprise. That used to be my saying.

As she she bent down to to pick her books, I suddenly felt bad and decided to help but then I noticed something. Sliding a finger across the back of her neck, Ryn shivered and moved away from me. Steadying her books in her arms, she gave me a stern look. "What are you doing?" She frowned. "How the hell did you get a Moonstone?"

Her hand automatically went to her neck as she glared at me. "It's none of your business."

I closed my eyes, and sucked my teeth as I closed the distance between us. "Ryn." I said, finally looking into her eyes. "There are times I can take your sassiness and bu***it, right now is not one of them, so don't test me. Where did Moonstone?" Ryn swallowed and I could see some fear in her gaze as she assessed me, "I was instructed not to tell you get that anyone."

"I don't f***ng care who said what. As an Elite in training, it's against the rules for you to use an enhancement to perform. I can easily go to the Director right now and tell him and you'd be out of here before you know it. So I will give you one-last f****ng chance. Who f***g gave you that?"

Ryn

eyes glossed with tears as she stared up at me and instantly, I ran out of patience. Turning around, I turned to walk

away, "Wait!"

I stopped in my tracks.

I'll tell you

I turned to her.

I watched her for cues and from the way she stared at me like I was a monster, I could tell that she was saying the truth. I huffed out a laugh and shook my head. "Do you know whose essence is in that stone?" Her brows pulled together. "What? What do you mean?"

folded my arms behind me and closed the distance between us. "He didn't tell you, did he?"

"Tell me what?" She She asked, confused.

"You thought you'd

u'd just wear an artifact and bam, you're good? Look up the origin of Moonstones and you'll find out for yourself."

"Please, just tell t tell me." She said, quietly. I thought about t it for a a second and decided why not. "According to legend, Maori, a legendary warrior, came home to find his mate dying. In order not to lose her, he did everything possible to save her life all to no avail. He eventually tried astral projection in order to go into the realm of the gods and as from the essence of the moon and told him how to use it. But there were two warnings, it was meant to only buy his mate a short time until he could find a cure. She wasn't meant to use it for long periods of time. Maori thanked the goddess and ask for their help. None of them wanted to help, except the Moon Goddess who was touched by his story." "She gave him a a stone crafted returned to earth

and

and when he opened his hand, the stone was there. He wore it on his mate and she automatically became better but it came at a cost. Maori automatically became weaker." I took one step closer as her face began to dawn with realization. You see, the moonstone is useless on its own but infused with a lifeforce, it becomes a hotspot. You," I touched her chest with my finger, "are standing here because someone is sharing their life force with you. You are still sick sick and I you're still dying." She blinked and looked away. Her brows pulled together in confusion. "So whose life force am I using?" Her voice trembled.

"Beats me." I shrugged, glancing at her hair. "But you gotta be careful though," I said, as I slid a strand of hair behind her ear and leaned in to whisper. "Because whatever you feel, they can feel too." of her collarbone, loving the shiver her body gave. I stepped back from her and smiled as I saw the horror on her face. slows

"Miro." A powerful voice sounded in my head and I automatically stiffened

"Yes, Father."

"Come to the Director's office."

Smirking at Ryn, I turned to leave.

"Wait." She called and I turned to her.

"What happened to Maori's mate after? Did he get the cure in time?"

I smiled. "No, he didn't."

"So what happened to her?"

"Why don't you find out yourself?" I said and left her standing there as I made my way to the Director's office. Reaching there, I knocked and took a deep breath before going in. Sitting in the Director's seat was my Father and standing beside him was his Beta. "Your Higliness." I bowed.

My father and his Beta watched me with the same calculated look. "You told us she wouldn't make it." My father said.

I blinked. "I am just as surprised as you, Father." I replied. "This morning, she was in critical condition."

"So how was she able to make it in time?"

I hesitated, knowing fully well that I am under my father's oath not to help Ryn win this battle. "She must have had some help." I said.

"Your brother?" My father raised a brow.

"I'm not sure." I replied. "Maybe she got her wolf back in time." Just as I said so, a piercing pain sliced through my head but I maintained the stoic face I had and dug my fingers into my palm to handle the pain. I told a lie and now I was paying the consequence. I have to be careful not to tell a lie. The two men assessed me but I gave them nothing from my facial expressions.

"You have to find out how she healed so quickly." My father said, "She's probably using some type of drug."

I nodded once. "Yes sir," Then I paused, "but may I ask something?"

"Go ahead."

"Why do you hate Ryn so much? What do you have against her?"

My father's eyes glimmered to ice as he stared at me. He went still for a moment to the point that even I feared that I may have angered him. "I don't hate her. I just don't like the idea of women in the field." He said, but to me, his reason sounded flat like that was not why he was against Ryn. But I decided not to push further.

My father eventually rose to his feet and rounded the table, heading for the door. Suddenly, he placed a hand on my shoulder and I immediately froze. Whenever my father touched me, it was always in violence but now, he was patting my back. "I want you to make me proud, Son." He said and I couldn't believe my ears.

Son? He hasn't called me that in ages. I looked at him in surprise. Am I finally getting my Father's love back?

"Of course, Dad." I said, "I'll make you proud."

My father managed a smile, the kind that was unnatural. "I know you will, Son." He said. "As long graduate. I know you will."
