The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)
Chapter 30

Chapter 30 THEON

Of all the things we have workers and maids for, cooking and grocery shopping was off limits and my brother and I preferred it that way.

So on my way home, I did some grocery shopping, while earning some female gazes and approval from women. Still, I cared about none of that. Somehow, what I seemed to care about was Ryn's look of approval especially when she tastes the grilled lamb chops I'll be making soon. I haven't been able to show off my cooking skills in years and now, I was excited to do so while making sure Ryn gained some weight back. The moment I got home, I didn't replace Ryn in the living room so I assumed she would be in her room. Quickly, I took a shower, changed and got to work in the kitchen. After I was done, I decided it was time to surprise Ryn. Heading upstairs, I knocked on her room door but when I got no answer, I slowly turned the knob and walked in. A quick glance around showed that Ryn was gone and that did not sit right with me.

Where did she go?

Leaving the room, I pulled out my phone and dialled my brother but he didn't pick. He probably was still angry at me for what happened today so I sent him a text. After that, I asked my men about her and they told me, the last they saw of her was when she left for the meeting that morning. After that, most of them had been at the Grand Assembly building, not at home.

Why would she leave all of a sudden? Did she not feel welcome enough?

Then I remembered her statement before she left the meeting. you soon.

Ryn had looked forward to seeing me. So what happened? Another thought crept into my mind, what if she had been kidnapped? I shook my head.

Going to my office, I pulled up surveillance videos while calling her line and as I checked the last few hours, I realized Ryn never came home but one of my men did and he had gone straight to her room to get her things. Why?

Ryn's number rang but she didn't pick up so when I got the tone of her voicemail, I decided to leave a message for her. Then, I called the man who I saw in the surveillance cameras and ordered him to my office. Minutes later, I heard a knock and shortly after Antonio came in Prince." He bowed.

here is Ryn?"

An hour later, I heard the door open and saw Miro come in with another set of girls. Once again, he was tipsy while the girls, both darkhaired, were more sober this time. I entered the living room from the kitchen, and shoved my hands in my pockets. When the ladies saw me, they began to squeal and gush like they'd seen a movie actor.

""We love you!" They squealed.

"Get out." I ordered and their smiles faltered but they did not move. I took a step forward. "I said,

Immediately, they grabbed their things and scurried out the door, leaving myself and Miro staring at each other in the living room.

"I guess you've found out about Ryn." Miro grumbled.

"You had no right!" I pointed in his face.

"You're right." Miro said, rising to his feet. "But I did what I had to do to protect her."

I frowned, my brows pulling together. "Protect her from what?!"

"From you, T."

I blinked in surprise. "What do you mean by that?!"

"I mean you're going to hurt her....eventually." Miro folded his arms across his chest and I froze.

"You're so ridiculous!"

Miro scoffed. "For crying out loud, T. Wake up!"

He stepped back and looked at me like he could barely recognize me. "I used to admire you so much. In fact, I envied you because of how put together you were. I was the twin that always fell apart and you were the twin who had his act together, stable and grounded and always knew the right thing to do, and the right thing to say. So what happened?" I could only blink and stare at him because this time I had no answer.

"You know we both have our way of coping....with the pain. I sleep around and you...you replace your little broken girls whom you fix until they fall in love with you and then you run away. They never hear from you again. Yet in all of it, we both check ourselves so we don't go too far." met my gaze. "You've never gone too far until now, T."

He

I blinked. "She's different."

"Oh, I can tell." He nodded enthusiastically. "Principal Crow? Alpha Eric? Me? Even Dad? You've never gone against Dad for any girl until now so I definitely know she is different. Yet, it still doesn't make her any less of a project. So I advice you stay away from her." I stepped forward, anger flaming in my bones. "And if I don't?"

My brother looked at me with resignation in his eyes. "If you don't, you will ruin her. You will lead her on and she will fall in love with you as they all do in the end and then when she replaces out you're just an empty shell driven by pain with nothing to offer, she will become devastated."

Miro closed the distance between us, standing eye to eye with me. "Ryn is a special girl and she has so much to offer and many obstacles to face as our first female Elite. Making her your project will ruin that."

His words hit me deep in the core but I knew he was right. I never had an attraction towards the other girls. They simply mistook my kindness for romantic interest but with Ryn, I couldn't even explain the attraction I feel towards her.

"I just wanted to help her, Ro." I said. "She needs me if she's going to pass the training against my father's wishes."

"Then help her." Miro answered. "Just be careful not to let her fall for you."

With a pat on the back. Miro left me in the living room and I realized I was not okay. I was angry. Angry at myself. Angry at my father. Angry at the trauma that made me who I am now.

I had intended to go for a swim after eating but now, I decided something else would calm me down. So I walked out of the

manor, and walked some more past horse stables and a lake into the woods. Walking some more, I got to an old hunting cabin, and unlocked it. Once I was in, I checked the windows to see if I was being followed and once I was sure that I wasn't, I went to the basement door, unlocked it and turned on the light. It had stony steps leading straight down into a dimly lit room. My shoulders sagged as I sighed and climbed down the steps into the large, spacious room. The closer I got, the louder someone hummed.

When I reached the landing, I stared at the being, whose face was covered with a bag, tied to a seat, trying to wiggle free. My anger immediately rekindled.

Walking into the room further, there was a table that had all sorts of torture and supply of surgical gloves. I took a new pair of gloves and wore them. Then I pulled the bag off the person's face, and stared into the fearful eyes of Alpha Eric.

He had a cloth tied around his mouth to prevent him from screaming.

"So." I said, checking the tools on the table to see which would suit today's torture. "Where did we stop last time?"

I took a scalpel and examined it. "Ahh, yes. You were going to tell me why you thought it would be nice to hit me with a car."
