The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

Chapter 26 'Ryn'

I heard my name and the next thing I saw was the bright light of a fast incoming car. I jerked awake, my heart thudding fast as I grabbed a long pointed hair pin and pointed it blindly at the darkness. "Relax." A deep, mesmerizing voice said. "It's just me."

My eyes fell on the huge, dark figure standing a few feet away from my bed and when I quickly turned on the bed lamp, I discovered it was Miro. He stood with his muscled arms folded across his chest, watching me with amusement glinting in his eyes.

"Gods! You scared me." I gasped as I placed a hand on my thudding chest, groaning as another wave of dizziness hit me.

"Really?" Miro raised a brow. "Cause to me, you're the scary one with...whatever that is."

My cheeks heated as I placed the hairpin on the nightstand. "It's a hair pin and I was just trying to protect myself."

"Right. As if you could do any real damage with that."

I frowned. "I can."

He c***d his head to the side. "Show me."

My heart sk**ed a beat. "What?"

"Show me right here, right now how you would disarm me if I were some big, bad guy here to get you."

I studied him for a moment, not sure where this was coming from. The Prince was practically asking me to attack him. Was that wise? "No. Thank you." I said, sliding my hair behind my ears.

"That was an order, Ryn." Miro's amusement disappeared. "Get your pretty a*** out of that bed and show me how you'd protect yourself from the likes of me."

Did he just call me pretty? What is this man's problem?

When

I saw

he wasn't joking, I slowly climbed out of bed and grabbed my hair pin. Studying him from head to toe, I found no weak spots in his stance as he towered over me. Miro was a big, big guy and disarming him was next to impossible. He snorted and rolled his eyes.. "Fine. I'll make it easier for you." He said. "If you can get a single punch or cut in, then you've won." Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I assessed the situation and figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

Within seconds, I flipped around and threw the pin at him with force. He easily caught it just inches from his left eye but that wasn't the only trick up my sleeve, while he was preoccupied with that, I made a move on him. With my hands curled into fists, I swung my first blow, aiming for his chest. Miro caught my fist with his hand and in one move, he twisted my arm around so that my back was now slammed against his hard, warm chest and my arm was pressed tightly against my front.

I froze and for a second. Somehow, I thought I felt sparks.

Tried to wiggle free but he placed the pin against my throat. The next thing I felt was his breath fanning over the space between my neck and my shoulder and for the life of me, I had no idea why it felt so good. All I knew was that I could barely think past the fact that our bodies were connected.

You lose, Ryn." He whispered in my ear, making goosebumps erupt all over my skin. "You're supposed to attack when it is least expected and now as a bad guy, I can do anything I want with you. Anything." A delicious shiver ran down my spine but when he released me I scrambled away from him as fast as I could. When I turned around, I saw him checking my hair pin, before sliding it into his pocket. "That's mine."

"Not anymore. You lost and now it's mine."

at him, feeling my chest rise and fall. "W-Why are you even in my room to begin with?" I asked.

I stared at

His eyes hardened. "It's not your room because you're not staying here for long."

I rolled my eyes and mumbled under my breath.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" He raised a stern brow.

I raised my chin and looked him square in the eyes. "Yes."

Miro stared a at me before breathing out a laugh. "You really are something, Ryn. Putting up that brave front is really cute. I'll see how brave you are tomorrow."

I blinked. "Tomorrow? What's happening tomorrow?"

His lips curled in amusement, making me wish I had succeeded in landing that blow earlier on. "The Healer is here to see you, Ryn, and I am also here to inform you that you have been summoned to a council meeting by the Alpha King." Alarm coursed through me. "Why? What did I do?"

"Well, apparently, you're involved in a scandal concerning Alpha Eric."

"I didn't steal anything."

"I think you're in trouble for way more than that."

I blinked in surprise. Why am I in trouble when he's the one who tried to kill me?

"Will Prince Theon be there?" I asked.

"Yes. He's in trout

in trouble too."

I began to panic internally.

"I am not at liberty to say."

I thought about his answer.

"Why?"

If Prince Theon was in trouble, then I am deep shit!NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Can I count on you tomorrow?" I asked, even though I shouldn't. Every person I have ever counted on has betrayed me. Still, I searched his eyes for hope but he looked away.

"Forget about counting on me, Ryn. Theon may have your back but I won't."

I smiled bitterly. "I guess you won't be there this time to catch me when I fall."

I raised my eyes to meet his and he parted his lips to say something but then he stopped himself, turned around and left.
