The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

I bent over to catch my breath and when I rose to my full height, I found everyone staring at me. Then I looked to the podium and saw the Alpha King and a man beside him frowning down at me. That must be the new Director. "Greetings, your Majesty. Greetings Director." I bowed.

"You've been tardy lately, Miss Ashmore," The Director stated, with his hands behind him. "No one here has taken more sick leaves than you."

I swallowed. "My apologies, sir. All those sick leaves were because I was actually sick and hurt."All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"That's none of our concern." He said, "this is why we didn't want women in the army. You lots are weak and have too much drama going on." He chuckled and a few joined in, including the Alpha King.

I ground my jaw at

at the blatant insult. "My apologies sir, once again, it won't happen anymore."

better not. Because from now on, if you are so much as one second late, you will be expelled and that would be the end of your training. Understood?"

I felt my cheeks flame as the weight of a hundred eyes settled on me. "Yes, sir."

Afterwards, The King and the Beta left the podium and just as Miro was about to follow after them, our eyes met. His eyes glimmered with an emotion I couldn't detect and I quickly looked away, remembering his warning about looking superiors in their eyes. When I looked his way again, he was gone.

Someone clapped me on the back hard and I turned to see some of my male colleagues beaming at me.

"I heard you fought with the two Princes and the Elites in action. What was it like?"

Did you see mutants?"

*I heard you took on five wolves at once."

"What happened?"

"Ryn, you're so

u're so cool."

Questions like these and more were thrown my way as more and more of my colleagues surrounded me, giving me looks of approval. I smiled while answering them, then I looked to my left and found Konan standing far off with some of his guys, glaring at me. Not willing to be intimidated, I glared back and he smirked where he stood.

"Hey, everyone. Settle down." Adam said and we all quieted down to listen to him. "So you all have heard what the Alpha King said. The King's Ball is next week. You all will go through four series of tests that will try your mental agility, your strength, your combat skills and your weapons skills. Each test will come every two days."

"You have literally two days to overcome your fears and take the test." Adam said to us. "So, good luck." ti u

After class, I went upstairs to check out the library for any clues on simulation and through the glass window, I saw Prince Theon making his way to his car. Instantly, I felt the need to see him so I rushed downstairs and out the building. "My Prince!" I called as I ran towards him. His men stopped me from getting any closer but Theon gave them the signal to let me go so I bypassed them to get close to him. I forgot how big he was in comparison to myself to the extent that his entire body shielded the sun from my eyes as I looked up at him. "Hi." I said, suddenly short of words.

"Hello, Ryn." He said, wearing his same old stoic expression. "Good to see you're feeling better."

"Yea."

"I nodded. "Thank you for the heads up. I thought I was going to die, yunno? Then Healer Kwan found me, gave me your message and gave me this."

I pulled out an amulet from underneath my top. It had a crystal bluish stone attached to the bottom. When I raised my head, I found Theon looking around as if to check if anyone was watching us. "What's wrong?" that hidden times. Especially now." He

Quickly, I put the amulet back underneath my top. "Healer Kwan also told me to hide it as well and not to tell anyone about

blinked, and looked down at my fingers. "Because I trust you."

"You shouldn't." He replied, making me look at him again in surprise and when I met his eyes, they were stone cold. "You What's wrong with the twins today? Show

"I know." I answered. "I just...don't know why I felt like chasing you down the parking lot to you the amulet that is responsible for me standing right now."

I frowned, really not understanding why.

I just felt an unnatural urge to be close to him, to breathe his cologne, his scent. At first, it had been subtle and I had ignored it but now, with every growing minute, it became like an itch that I needed to scratch.

The more I stared at him, the more I wished he would touch me, even if it's for a brief second. I closed the distance between us, suddenly drawn in by the mystery in his blue eyes as every fiber of my being ached for contact with his skin. Slowly, I reached out to touch his hand and I was almost there when he suddenly stepped back, shaking his head. "Ryn, you should

go.

You're reacting to the effects of the moonstone."

"But?-"

"No buts. You are in a hotter seat than you've ever been before, Ryn. The Moonstone was made to give your a fighting chance but only for a short term just until we can find the Phoenix flower."

I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off with a raised finger. "I won't be around to save you anymore so you're on your own. And don't count on my brother either. Good luck." Theon said and turned his back on me to enter his car. "Why didn't you tell me you were suspended?" I blurted out and he stopped. "Because it doesn't concern you."

"But it does. I just know it has something to do with me."

Theon turned around, his blue eyes ablaze with a fiery einotion that seemed like anger.. "And now that you know, what are

So he was really punished because of me. I instantly felt terrible.

raised my chin and met his gaze. "I won't. I'll make you proud."

His gaze softened. "Good. Take care." And with that, he entered his car with his men and was driven off.

Once he was gone, the burning desire I felt for him died almost instantly or at least simmered down to its lowest point. I still felt like I wanted him but it wasn't as intense as before.

I huffed wondering what in the world possessed me to have such a raw desire for him in the first place.

Shrugging, I went back into the building, but I couldn't stop thinking about the twins. Prince Theon was punished because of me. Prince Miro is now giving me hostile vibes. What the hell did I do to the Alpha King for him to hate me so much?

Going back upstairs, I gathered enough books on simulations and as I carried them in my arms to go downstairs, I bumped into someone. My books clattered to the ground and when I raised my eyes to see who it was, I realized it was Prince Miro. His green eyes hardened against me. "You should watch where you're going."

What the hell?! He was the one who bumped into me first!

I rolled my eyes and shook my head before bending to pick my books but suddenly something else happened.

Within a flash, I found my back flat against the wall and before I could blink, Miro
