THEON

AN HOUR AGO.

The moment I came back, the first thing I did was go to Ryn's room.

My wolf had been restless, calling out her name. Now, as I sat here, staring at the picture frame of her and her parents next to the teddy I bought her, my wolf became at peace, feeling right at home.

I sighed, replaying our conversation in my head.

'You like playing dangerous games, Bunny."

Would you still play?'

In that moment, she had no idea what she had done to me. I suddenly felt hot and unclasped the first set of buttons on my shirt. Ryn had taken me back to a time where I thought I could be happy in love. When the image of my mate surfaced in my mind's eye, my hands cu Elizabeth.

I could see her dark hair, stunning blue eyes and smug grin as she stripped for me through the camera. She knew I had a thing for watching her. She knew my kind of games and she loved to play them. She was the

only one I could fully be myself around, and totally bare my soul without judgement.

Then it all fell apart. She took my heart and crushed it in the palm of her hand, almost killing me in the process.

No. Not almost. I died, and then Miro said I came back to life. Ever since then, I lost my zest for fighting. For women. For all things love and intimacy... until Ryn.

This

damned Moonstone thing had made dead embers come to life and with every passing day, it reminds me of what it felt like to be consumed by another being. I tried not to be ridiculously obsessed with her. I fucking tried and now, I replace out he has a thing for being watched. What am I supposed to do with that fucking information?!

I lowered my head, shaking it slowly from side to side.

This will not end well.

This will not end well.

This will definitely not end well.

Gods. I wanted to see her naked. I wanted so badly to turn on the cameras and watch her. Thank the gods I didn't. That's something I can never come back from.

my claws had come out A low throbbing pain occurred in the palm of my hands and when I looked down, I discovered that and pierced my palms. Opening them, I found blood pooling in my hands, so I rose to my feet, and went to her bathroom.

Washing off the blood, I stared at my own reflection. Do I really want this feeling to end? I smile more now. I wake up with a reason now. I even talk a lot more nowadays. Things might be shitty between my brother and I but since Ryn, we fight more often which I think is bet and turning into our rooms.

"No." I muttered out loud, shaking my head and putting off the tap. I'm just looking for excuses to hold on to her. Today's the day it all ends and the moment, Ryn gets her antidote, we will no longer be linked. I'll go back to being a living corpse. A

monster in the cold.

A cruel smile formed on my face, revealing my dimples and Ryn's words about my smile suddenly flashed through my mind.

'You should smile more often.'

Fuck. My smile faded. Within minutes, I was out of her bedroom, checking my wristwatch as I descended the stairs. Looking around, I found my twin at the barstand, sitting on a stool, drinking one of his concoctions.

I don't blame him. He really came through for me today and I wish I could have one too but I need a clear head for the day ahead.

"When is she coming?" I asked him.

"I dunno." Miro shrugged, before turning to me with a teasing smirk. "Isn't she your wife now? You should know."

I gave him a scathing glare, before looking down at the golden wedding band around my finger. According to Chelsea and the weird ass priest she brought from nowhere, I'm now her husband. For Ryn's sake, I agreed to her terms and gave her the marriage she wanted al Afterward, Miro and I were driven back home, but I left behind a car along with men to bring her as soon as she packed her things. She wouldn't tell me where the antidote was until she fully moved in.

Now here we are, waiting for her to come in so I can finally save Ryn.

After checking in with my men and replaceing out Chelsea was close, I brought out my tablet and checked on Ryn at the school. As the Commander and Director of the Elites, I should be there, giving my boys a peptalk before the main event but here I am, stuck, waiting for a b Tapping on the camera in the office, I saw Ryn and my cousin having what seemed to be a deep conversation. At some point, my cousin covered her mouth in shock, then she covered her ears, shaking her head but it was all in good vibes and I wondered what they were ta Afterwards, she settled and they both embraced for a long while, rubbing each other's backs.

I liked that. Elizabeth never got along with Sadie but I'm glad Ryn does.

Shortly after, Sadie left the room and I watched Ryn get up after a while and lock the door. She peeked out the window before drawing the blinds and something about her action had me on alert. After looking around suspiciously, Ryn sat down, opened her bag, and brought out a tupperware plastic. She stared at it for a moment, running a hand through her hair as if she was contemplating what to do with what was inside.

Eventually, she opened the plastic and when she unwrapped the contents, my blood ran cold. In an instant, I was crossing the living room towards my brother and as soon as I dropped my tablet, I gripped the front of his shirt, pulling him out of his seat and slamming his ba "What the fuck, T?!" Miro asked, confused. "What's gotten into you?!"

I grabbed my tablet and showed him Ryn's footage. "You have fifteen seconds to fucking explain why Ryn is eating raw bloody meat right before her event!"
