The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)
Chapter 61

RYN

about who they communicated with?

It was evening by the time Sadie dropped me back at the dorm, and the moment I got in, my phone began to ring. Checking it, I discovered it was from Adam so I paused my movement wondering why he was calling. Didn't Sadie tell me that the Blackwells were cautious I picked the call regardless.

"Hi Adam." I said, trying not to sound wary.

"Hi Kathryn." He replied, and I frowned. Only my parents ever called me that.

"prefer you call me Ryn." I replied.

Adam hesitated on the other end. "Very well. If you say so." He answered. "I just wanted to check in on you and see how you were faring. You seemed pretty shaken up yesterday."

"I was, but I'm better now." I replied. I still couldn't shake the image of him as a child not disturbed like the rest of the kids.

"Alright. See you tomorrow?"

'Yea sure." I replied.

The call ended and I stood baffled for a minute.

Kathryn. Why did he call me that? If he remembers me, does that mean the others do too? It makes sense that Sadie might not remember because she was younger than me but what about the others. What about Prince Theon and Miro? I'shook my head and decided to focus on the next test. Strength Levels.

I didn't have issues with that but that was when I was myself and not borrowing someone's lifeforce. My breath whooshed out of me as I collapsed on the bed and stared into space. I should talk to Prince Theon. He should know in advance that I'd be using a lot of his strength. I grabbed my phone and scrolled to his number but instead of dialling it, my finger hovered over his name. I remembered

how his voice made me feel earlier today and I wonder if I am ready to hear it again. Something in me wants

way and I to hear it again but another part of me is scared. Scared because these feelings are fake. He doesn't see me that don't want to make a fool of myself.

I licked my dry lips, guaging the strength of my courage. Then I sighed and let my back fall on the bed.

I'm such a chicken.

Maybe I should just send a text. I grabbed my phone again and typed what I wanted to say in a text and once again, my hand

over the send button.

If I press 'Send, then I won't have a reason to call and hear his voice. Why do I want to hear his voice? What is me?!

I placed a pillow over my face and screamed into it. I felt warmth on my neck and realized it was the Moonstone glowing again.

aning Not now!" I groaned into the pillow.

I need a distraction. I strddenly remembered the sweets I took from the receptionist's table into my dad's jacket and sat up from the bed. I need those damn sweets now. Then I looked around my room and realized my jacket wasn't here. I stood up and searched around and then to my horror, I remembered I left my jacket at the spa. Shit! That jacket means a lot to me.

Grabbing my phone, I looked up the name of the spa in order to get their customer service line and when Radiant Heaven appeared on Google, something else jumped at me.

It was a picture of Prince Theon and Prince Miro seated at a speaking event and the headline said, "The Windermere Brothers set to open two hundred more branches of Radiant Heaven across the globe." in surprise. The five star spa belonged to Theon and Miro?

Then I remembered Sadie's words. Her insistence on me coming on the spa date. Shaking my head, I first of all called the customer service line and informed them of my jacket. Once I was informed that it had been kept safe on my behalf, I called Sadie. As it rang, my right leg began to move up and down and I found myself fiddling with my pendant nervously. Eventually, Sadie picked on the fifth ring.

"Hi Bestie." Her happy voice came on.

"Home yet?" I asked, still.

"Yea.

Just drove in. What's

I licked my lips as I thought of my question. What if I was wrong?

Still,

I went ahead. "When you said, we were going on an all expense paid spa date. Who sponsored it?" My heart hammered as silence came on the line. I began to wonder if I was making a big mistake querying my rich friend about her kind gesture, What if Sadie paid for it out of f pocket t and was just patronizing her uncles? "Uhm.." Sadie

Sadie stuttered. "Why are you asking?"

"Just...curious." I replied, keeping my voice light.

"You don't need to be. Just accept the gift, Ryn." Sadie's voice came on and it wasn't light and bubbly anymore. It sounded offended.

My fidgeting increased. "I mean no offense, Sadie." I said. "I...just want to know if it is out of your pocket or someone else paid." "Why does it matter?"

"It does. It really does." I answered, "Because if it turns out someone else paid and I know them, I have to rethink how Freact to them and I don't want to end up hurting them when it looks like they've been showing me kindness all along." My voice broke at the end. A long moment of silence occurred on the other end of the line, then Sadie sighed. "Fine but you have to promise you won't tell him." "Sure.

"It was Uncle Theon."

I closed my eyes. That damned Prince!

"He wanted to do something nice for you since you won the simulation test but for some reason, he felt it would be easier

for you to accept if it came from me rather than from him."

My throat constricted as I tried to keep my emotions in check. "Thanks Sadie."

"Is something going on between you two?"

My heart hammered again. I don't want to lie. "He's been helping out with the Academy and all so we are kind of like friends."

I wondered if that made sense.

"Oh. That's cool." Sadie said, then her voice lowered a bit. "Do you know what happened to him?"

"Pardon?"

"You don't need to pretend with me, especially since I just spilled a secret to you." Sadie answered. "I overheard my the phone with Uncle Theon. It seems like he was pretty hurt on the field yesterday. Do you know what happened? Is it really bad?" "Hello?" I was still stuck on Sadie's voice echoing the words, 'pretty hurt on the field yesterday.

Yesterday. Simulation test. Me. Lifeforce. Him. Hurt.

Fuck!

I came back to reality. "Sadie, I promise you on our friendship, I had no idea he was injured."

"Of course. Thanks Sadie."

"Oh." She replied. "I guess he was serious about not telling anyone, so you didn't hear it from me." "Always."

The moment our call ended, I released a shaky breath. Once again, someone is getting hurt because of me and despite it all, despite me being an ass, he went to great lengths to make me happy.

I let my head fall onto my hands as I thought of what to do.

After a moment, I decided I needed to see him. So I left the dorm just when the sun was setting and hailed a cab to the Windermere manor.
