The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)
Warrior 189

Chapter 189

RYN

For a moment. I couldn’t breathe; it was as though all the air had been sucked from the room, leaving only a crushing silence that drummed in my ears.

My heart pounded, each beat painfully loud, thudding with a mix of disbelief and betrayal.

I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

How can this be?

My mind raced, darting between fragments of memories and realizations, each one cutting deeper.

Theon shrugged off Chelsea and took a step forward to me: “Ryn, I can explain.”

I stumbled back from him, needing to put some distance between me and the awful truth.

Tears I thought were depleted rose like a fountain behind my eyes. My wolf whimpered in the wake of them. Memories of giving myself to Theon flashed before my eyes. Memories of Sadie and Miro warning me echoed in my mind.

This was worse than anything I’ve ever prepared myself for a twist of fate that felt like a cruel joke, leaving me raw, exposed, and utterly shattered.

Hooked at Sadie. “You were right all along” I whispered.

“Right about what?” Theon queried but I was walking towards Miro, ignoring him.

“I saw your text. You said the antidote was here?”

“Yes, but you need to listen to Theon”

“Where’s the antidote?”

Suddenly, I was grabbed by the arm, and whipped around. Refusing to look at Theon, I fixed my gaze elsewhere, feeling

numb.

“Ryn, look at me.” Theon ordered, but I refused. “Everyone, out! Now!”

The power in his voice sent deadly shivers down my spine, making my wolf feel the need to submit, but I refused. I heard the reluctant shuffling of feet as Sadie and Chelsea left the room but Miro stayed put.

“That includes you, Ro.” Theon said, his gaze fixated on me and mine, staring into space.

Miro approached us, hesitating by my side before leaving without a word.

Now it was just us two.

“Ryn.” Theon said. “Look at me.”

Still, I refused.

“Okay.” Theon nodded to himself, then he dragged me to the table. In one move, he swept everything off, including the hemlock plant and then carried me to sit on the table.

Now, he planted both hands on either side of me, his gaze burning me alive.

Chapter 189

I it to “I can easily force you to look at me.‘ Theon said, releasing a shaky breath. “But I don’t want to me your choice. However long it takes you, I’ll stay here. We’ll both be in this position until you’re ready”

I blinked, hating the fact that he meant what he said, still I didn’think I had it in me to look at him, because then, I might see the man I have come to fall in love with and the pain of his betrayal will sting like death’s kiss,

Silence settled upon us.

“I did it all for you, Ryn.” Theon explained. “The phoenix flower plan didn’t work out so I had to go to Chelsea as a last resort. She wouldn’t help unless I married her, so I arranged for that to happen. That’s it.”

I blinked, letting his words sink in, then I looked at him.

I wasn’t prepared to see the world of pain and hurt in his startling blue eyes,

This is the most vulnerable I have ever seen of him and that’s when I believed him. I touched his face and he leaned into it, but a boy. closing his eyes as he sighed in relief. For the first time, since I’d known him, he didn’t look like a god, nor a man,

A little boy who just needed a place to rest.

“Thank you for caring about me.” I said to him, and he held my wrist and kissed it. Then he kissed down my arm, and traveled to my face.

I couldn’t stop him. I didn’t want to.

When his lips captured mine, I shuddered. How did I forget he tastes like home too?

1 opened up, letting him in, loving his strong, supportive hand holding my face. His kiss was gentle, as if he had all the time in the world to explore me. I didn’t like that. I wanted him to kiss me like it’s goodbye because I know for certain that after 1 take the antidote, things will change.

His other hand travelled to my waist and pulled me closer.

For a brief second, I imagined him laying me down on the table and taking me here.

I pushed the thought away, knowing my wolf has no self–respect and would gladly spread my legs wide for him if she were in control.
