The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)
Chapter 64

THEON

My father seemed a little surprised to see me and so was Dutton.

I guess they must have heard of my injury.

"Your Highness." I curtly bowed before taking my seat opposite aim. Miro on the other hand sat adjacent to us.

My father puffed some smoke in the air, before tempering his cigar on an ashtray and leaving it to burn out. I watched his movement. My father smoking again was a nasty indication that he was under stress, "I heard you got hurt in the field,"

"And I am completely healed." I replied.

He cocked his head to the side, studying me. "It makes no sense that someone like Viktor will escape you once again. He doesn't even have one third of your strength despite his new status."

I sucked my teeth. "Viktor seems to be on a new juice. He and his men were stronger and faster than normal."

"It still doesn't explain why he eluded you. My father's voice raised an octave

1 ground my jaw, keeping a level gaze with him, "Mistakes happen

"They've happened twice in a row. In fact, they are happening a lot lately. Ever since you got that girl on the training team, you seem to have lost your edge."

I felt tempted to curl my hands into fists but I stopped myself. My father was keen on studying body language. He'd know he was getting to me and I don't want that.

Instead. I smiled.

"Lost my edge I huffed. "You're the one smoking a Cuban cigaron a Sunday night obsessed with a nineteen-year-old girl I'd say in all my twenty-five years of living, I have never seen you as obsessed with a human being as you have been with

day Ryn. I leaned forward in my seat. "Tell me, Father, what chokehold does Ryn Ashmore have a whole Alpha King in?"

Like storms gathering, my father's eyes hardened and Director Dutton moved as if he wanted to come teach me a lesson.

Instantly, I felt fire in my veins, my blood sparkling with delight as he moved around the seat but my father signalled for him to stop.

What a shame.

I was looking forward to beating his ass but I guess my time will come some other day.

My father smiled, his face twisted into the same grimace that has haunted me for years, "Dominic Tarrent is in town."

I blinked, his words hitting me like a punch in the gut. "My intelligence never picked up on that."

"Mine did." Durton interjected with a pompous air, his one eye glinting maliciously. "But you would have picked up on it if your priorities weren't so screwed up."

I sighed and crossed my legs. "Duuon, your position as director seems to have made you forget your place."

Dutton laughed "What? You're scared I'll take your job again?"

"Enough" my father ordered, but the battle raged on between Ditton and I as we exchanged deadly glares. "Theon, I want you to replace out what he's doing on my land. Find Viktor and interrogate his men in your custody. I don't care what methods. you use. I want answers!" "You'll get them. Father." I answered, terribly troubled by the news but not quite showing it.

"You better. Theon." My father said, rising to his feet. "Otherwise you really might lose your job."

This time, my hands curled into fists as he passed by me to the door with a smirking Dutton in tow plus security.

"Is that a threat. Father?" I asked, staring ahead.

From the comer of my eyes, my father stopped in his tracks. "It's a promise, Son."

A bitter smile crossed my lips. "You know what happens when you make promises like that, Dad."

My father audibly sighed. "Find Dominic and we won't have to replace out and with that said, he left with his people.

For a moment, I sat there listening to the soft spits of fire from the fireplace as my gaze lingered on the Cityline.

"You're awfully quiet." I said, before looking my brother's way.

Then I was shocked seeing the look on his face. He looked haunted and reminded me of the scared boy he had been when things were tough

I felt sorry for him.

The topic of Dominic Tarrent was a touchy one.

"Want a drink?" I asked, and he gave me a one shoulder shrug.

I suddenly became worried Miro being speechless indicated he was going through a lot upstairs and he had a habit of shutting down if he was on the verge of a breakdown, Wanna talk about it?" I asked, but he shook his head slowly, like he was in a daze.

I got up and made us both a potent mix. Coming to sit in front of him, I handed him the drink and sat on the center table, facing him

"We're going to haunt him down. You hear me?" I said, and Miro raised his eyes to meet mine. "Together." I nodded assuringly. "Our sister's killer won't go scot-free, I promise."

We toasted to that and downed the drink and I could see Miro's eyes shine with tears but he glanced away, nodding in

agreement

As I stood under the shower later that night, I thought about Ryn and the more she crossed my mind, the more I felt the urge to drive to her hostel and see her.

Gods. I groaned as I ran my hands over my wet hair, letting the water run down my back. I remember kissing her and wanting more. I remember fighting my will to touch her and failing terribly

She reminded me of the times I was with my mate and I literally couldn't keep my hands off of her.

Why does it feel the same with Ryn? Why is the Moonstone having a weird effect on us both?

I swallowed, unable to come up with answers,

Stepping out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around my wist, I stared at myself in the mirror. All traces of were gone. Not even a scar left behind.

All thanks to Ryn.

my wound

Entering my bedroom, I grabbed my phone and scrolled to her number. But my thumb hovered over her name, reluctant to

dial it.

1 didn't like the way she ended the call on me last time and I fear if she did that again, I'd be forced to see her in person. Besides, it's eleven sixteen pan. It wasn't proper to call a lady at that time. So I settled for a text.

"Hi Ryn. I apologize for the way I acted tonight. I lost control and I take full responsibility for my actions. I promise it won't happen again. Please, let me know if you need anything. I am actively working on replaceing a cure for you and putting everything to an endTM I sent the text with a sigh and waited for a reply.

I had no idea why, but my heart started beating a little faster than normal, anticipating her response. When I waited ten minutes and didn't get a reply, I decided to make a call to someone else.

Afterwards, I changed into some cotton gray shorts and a matching t-shirt and since I wasn't feeling sleepy, I went down to my home office and turned on the computers.

While they booted, a strange thought came into my mind. One that got my mind racing and my fingers itching to take action, but I stopped myself. After the incident with Maggie and Chelsea, I had a security camera installed around Ryn's hostel and even inside her room. Occasionally, I check her surroundings, but I had never used the camera in her room before. Now my fingers were itching to turn it on and watch her probably sleeping. Just as I was contemplating it, my phone buzzed with a text message and I could have sworn that my he "Hi Darling, forgot me so soon? I heard you were looking for the cure to save your precious Ryn. Let me go ahead and save you the trouble by letting you know you will never get it. Only an save Ryn but I have conditions, when you're ready, hit me up. With love, Chelsea." SEND GIFT
