Chapter 103 RYN

The next day, Sadie drove me to the Windermere manor to get my freshly laundered uniform. Getting in, I noticed the house was still quiet meaning Theon and Miro weren't around yet. I didn't like that.

Somehow I missed them, even the rude green-eyed twin that cooks for me.

My wolf stirred, showing her displeasure at their absence and I consoled her with the fact that today is the day we'd be free of all the pain and the attraction and the confusion.

I sighed.

"I'll wait here." Sadie said, and I nodded before heading up the stairs. My room was on the other end of the hallway and I was about to go there when I stopped.

I turned around, looking at the hallway where Miro and Theon's rooms were and strange thoughts began to go through my mind. I licked my lips. My heart, working overtime with the anticipation of what I'm about to do.

With a quick glance downstairs, I found Sadie sitting on the couch, engrossed with her phone. Quietly, I took steps towards the other hallway and with each passing breath, my steps quickened.

got to Theon's door and hesitated.

What am I doing?

My wolf came to the surface, lifting my hand to the knob, and after a moment of hesitation, I unlocked the door.

Going in, everything was neat. Untouched....like me. A cleaner must have come to set the place ready for his return.

I hated that, or rather, my wolf hated that.

My feet moved of their own accord and I went to the bed first. Lowering my face to the sheets, I sniffed it but was disappointed to hear the smell of detergent. I left the bed and instead walked into the closet. There I put my nose to his shirts and sniffed them.

I sighed in satisfaction when I heard hints of cinnamon, apple pies and butter. I opened his laundry basket desperate for some used clothes to get more of his scent but to my disappointment those damned maids must have taken care of it.

I began to get frustrated, my muscles coiled tight with desperation. I needed one last moment of him. Something I could steal as a souvenir until I no longer need the Moonstone. Until all affection between us, dies.

I guess I just want to hold on to the feeling of having someone as mine, even if it's just temporary. Even if it's fake. I want to smell him one more time and bury myself in his arms, in his scent and in his skin cause I promised I wouldn't touch him again. I went back to his bedroom, feeling lost and utterly helpless. Then my phone rang.

As soon as I saw it was Theon, I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"You miss me, don't you?"

"What? No!" I lied, pushing my hair back from my face with a hand.

"Liar. I can see

you."

Ajolt of panic flashed through me. I looked up and within seconds, I found the tiny red blinking light of a hidden camera near the ceiling.

"Hello, Bunny." Theon said and I could hear the laugh in his voice.

My face burned with shame and in a flash I was out of his room fushing down the hallway. Before going to the other side, I looked down and found Sadie standing outside the balcony, doing a tiktok.

I tiptoed to the other side and didn't stop until I was in my room

"You're a creepy person. You know that?!" I whisper-shouted.

"For being security conscious? No."

"How did you know I was in your

room?"

"I get an alert anytime someone enters and I am not there."

I sat on my bed with a hard sigh. "When are you coming home?"

Theon went quiet for a moment and I realized how cliche my question sounded, as if we belonged to each other.

"Soon. I'm about to enter the city but I won't be able to make it there before the event starts."

"Alright. Cool.....and sorry. I didn't mean to sound like your wife or something.""

"Nah. You sound like you miss me."

I rolled my eyes and placed my phone on speaker mode before placing it on the nightstand. "I don't. Just concerned for my cure." I said, proceeding to pack my bag first. "Says the girl who was sniffing my sheets and my shirts."

I dropped my bag, using both my hands to give my phone the middle finger while silently screaming the words, "Fuuuuuck Yoooou!"

"Are you there?" His voice carried that sparkle of laughter again.

I composed myself. "Yes, I am here and I hope there aren't any cameras in my room cause I'm about to undress."

"To be honest, there is one actually."

I froze.

"...just like in every other room but I'll never use it unless you're in danger."

I looked up, searching for the cameras and found one hidden in plain sight near the ceiling, above the door. This time, there was no blinking red light.

I removed my top, thinking about his words. "How can I trust that you'd keep to your word and not want to spy on me naked?"

"Because I have something called self-respect?"

I removed my Pj pants and stood in the room in nothing but my bra and panties. "And if I gave you permission to turn on

the camera right now and watch me, would you do it?"

Theon went silent again and just when I thought he wouldn't rejily, I heard his voice. "You like playing dangerous games, Bunny."

My breath hitched at the nickname and at the low tone of his voice. I tried not to think of how he'd give that name to someone else when we are no longer attracted to each other. "Would you still play?"

The silence this time was longer than the last and with each passing second, my mind raced faster and I wondered why I was doing this. Why I wanted to be his girl so bad. Why I wanted to be watched.

"Ryn." He answered and I noticed the change in name. "This might be the last day we feel this way for each other. As much as I want to play this game, I don't want you waking up the next day, regretting what you've done." Regretting? Sounds like he's the one that might regret it. "So, in order words, you don't want me. Got it."

"Ryn."

"It's fine. It's stupid. Sorry I bothered you." And then I ended the call.

Lowering myself to my haunches, I covered my face as tears burned my eyes. Why am I like this? Why did I just do that? Why did I just try to seduce him? Why must I

be the one losing control? How many FUCKING times will have to drill in it in my head that he doesn't think of me that way?

My phone began to buzz again and when I went to it, I saw it was Theon.

Fuck. I totally forgot he hated being hung up on. Now I was scared of what he might say. Rather than pick his call, I stood there paralyzed, watching the call ring off. I sighed, about to leave for the bathroom when my phone buzzed with an alert for a voicemail. A knot twisted in my stomach as I lifted my phone and dialed the answering service.

After entering my code, Theon's voice slips through, low and thick, with an edge that's almost a growl. "You hung up on me His tone is like velvet undercut with steel. "I warned you, didn't I?"

whisper that curls around me like smoke. "I'll make sure you remember why that was a mistake. You've been stirring things you don't understand, tempting me. So here's what's going to happen: when I get back, I will replace you, and I'll make sure you learn a lesson on why y SEND GIFT
