The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

I woke up the next morning, lying on my side on the floor, still in my uniform.

Yesterday had to be one of the hardest days of my life.

Having gto kill my parents to get to the flag affected me more than I could ever comprehend. Even though it was fake, I still think I am responsible for their deaths in some way. I sat up and leaned "This is a

is a symbol of our love for you." My father had said that day. "No matter where you are, when you see it, always remember that we love you."

My eyes burned and I had to grind my jaw tight to keep another stream of tears from falling. Their love for me got them killed and I wish I had gone with them that day. I wish I was in that car accident that took their lives on Highway forty-nine as they tried to escape rogue attack. I wish I was a normal girl who didn't have issues with her wolf. All my accomplishments so far and I had no one to tell. No one to be proud of me. "Can you see me, Daddy?" I whispered out loud at my pendant, my vision blurring over with tears. "Mom, are you proud of me?" I pulled

I

my knees up to my chest, and bent my head as I hugged myself. I tried to imagine what my life would have been like if my parents were still alive?

Instead of living in a dorm, I'd be at home, probably having breakfast with my family. Maybe, I'd have a sibling or two whom I adore. Would my parents have allowed me to try out for the Elites in the first place? I tried to think about that while wiping my face. My father may have allowed me to become an Elite but my mother would definitely not let me. She was the strict, bossy one in the marriage and my father's gentle nature blended perfectly with her. Whenever I wanted my way, at times, asking my father for his approval sometimes wasn't enough, we both had to go to my Mom and ask for her approval before I could do that particular thing. If she said no, it was final and yet despite it all, I never saw her disrespect or fight with my Dad. Gods! If only they were still alive, maybe the trajectory of life would have been different. Maybe, I wouldn't have suffered like I did. Maybe I'd be in college studying something else and having a boyfriend who loves me and makes me happy. Gods! I'm so lonely and my life is such a terrible mess.

I'm slowly dying while leeching off the lifeforce of a Prince thus putting his life at risk. His father and the new Director both want me to fail. His twin is acting like an addict and I am just tired.

My stomach grumbled in hunger but I ignored it. I had no motivation to even get up and change. I just felt like staying in this room, forever forgotten by the world, frozen in time.

Suddenly my phone buzzed and I ignored that too. The ringing stopped and then started again. Groaning, I raised my head and reached for my phone on the nightstand. When I saw the caller ID, my brows pulled together in a frown. "Hello, my Prince." I said, after picking the call,

There was a moment of silence before the sweet, raspy voice of Prince Theon came on the phone. "Why are you sad, Ryn?"

My breath hitched and my mind raced for a muine" Moonstone around my neck.

**ing snitch!

Are you hungry my throat, fumbling for words.

hungry?"

What? I am but can he feel that too?

"No." I said.

"Then why are you sad?" He asked, and I could detect a hint of tiredness in his voice. No, not a hint. He sounded really, really, tired.

"..uhm..it's nothing. Just one of those days." I blurted out.

"Oh, I I see." Whe answered and

and something about his voice made my breathing begin to escalate. "Is there anything I can do to make you happy?"

I paused and closed my eyes as my pussy pulsed and tightened of its own will. What in the Goddess' name was that? Why is his voice so extra right now?

"Uhm." I stuttered and swallowed, getting flustered, then I remembered how he acted when I came on to him and got mad. "Why do you care?" I asked. "I thought you made it clear that I mean nothing to you." Theon gave a tired sigh on the other end. "I don't want to argue, Ryn. I just want to help.

"I'm fine. Thank you for checking in." I said and before he could say any other word, I ended the call.

My heart began to hammer rapidly at what I just did. That was highly disrespectful of me. How many people can boast of having the Prince call them? Yet, here I was, being mean to one. My phone buzzed again but this time, it was a text from Prince Theon. S***! He must hate me now. He's probably going to flip off in the text and tell me an earful. I took a deep breath and raised my chin. Whatever happens, happens. I don't care. With slightly shaky hands, I I opened I his text and read the words. "I know w you

A tear slid down my face as I read and reread his message before pushing my phone on the floor.

have to say stuff like that? Why can't he make me hate him more? My tears grew into sobs and then I remembered Theon would feel what I was feeling. is an have to say private, hate this Moonstone and ferring hate Chelsea for putting me in this situation.

I took deep breaths to calm myself just as a slight headache began to form at the front of my head. My phone buzzed again and I frowned at it.

I really want to be left alone.

Picking my phone, I realized it was Sadie. So I picked it.

"Hiiiii." Her bubbly voice squealed. I closed my eyes, cringing.

"Hi Ginger." I sniffled.

She hesitated. "Have you been crying?"

I wondered how to answer that. "Yes, I have."

"Why?"

"I miss my parents."

Another moment of silence. "I'm so sorry to hear that but I think I have a way to cheer you up."

"I don't think anything can ch-"

"How about a day at the spa? All expenses paid. Don't worry, there'd be your favorite Italian food too."

My mouth dropped open as I contemplated the idea. "No, thank you." I replied.

"It's

an All expense paid spa date with me, Ryn. I have two tickets. Would you rather I go with someone else?" "You could go with that guy you like?" I replied.

"Shut up, Ryn." Sadie said, "I am coming over to your dorm to pick you and you better be ready, Miss, because come hell or highwater, you're coming on that date with me."
