The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

The Kingdom of the North was beyond beautiful.

It looked similar to the Kingdom of the South with mountains and seas forming an enclosure around the settlement.

As we flew over the cities, lights glittered in the night like stars.

Unlike the South which was more rural, the North was a blend of rural and urban settings. From unending farmlands to modern buildings including skyscrapers, and stadiums and seaports, no wonder the North didn’t rely on inter–kingdom trading, they seemed to have everything they needed.

We landed in front of a huge white painted mansion with a fountain in front of it and someone came forward to usher us in. Turns out Dominic had left instructions and had an array of servants ready to serve.

Theon was attended to while I was shown to my room.

As soon as I got there, I was examined by a healer who told me all I needed was more rest but I ended up tossing and turning in bed.

Eventually, I must have slipped into a fitful sleep because I found myself back on the rooftop of the hospital, alone with nowhere to hide. The door to the rooftop was barred with an iron but I could hear people trying to break through.

In fact, the top part of the door has been peeled back and the faces peering through were horrendous. They had long sharp teeth and yellow eyes that gleamed with malice and murderous intent. I turned around and ran to the edge of the roof, but the entire city was covered in pitch black darkness.

“HELLO? IS ANYBODY THERE?!” My voice echoed but no answer came.

Feeling something wet under my hands, I raised them to see thick, red blood coating them. My heart began to race a mile a minute and as I backed away from the edge, I stumbled over something and fell backwards.

Groaning, I raised up on my elbows to see what it was and immediately jerked away when I came face to face with the

body touched something else and when I turned, I school janitor’s dead body. Covering my mouth, I scotted back but saw yet another body.

In fact, to my horror, the entire rooftop was covered in bodies,

Dead bodies.

“Muuuurdeeeerrrerrr.” I twisted around in fright and discovered that the rooftop door had been pulled ajar and now all the monstrous people chasing me were inching closer. To my dismay, the people at the forefront were Theon, Miro, Dominic, El and everyone else I cared about.

They all looked like monsters.

I began to scramble back on my hands and feet, shaking my head in tears.

“Please! No!”

“Muuurdddeeeerrrerrr!” They sang in unison as they increased their pace.

I rushed back till I reached the bloody edge and climbed over it. “Plecase!” I moaned in tears but their eyes held no remorse.

No recognition. Just pure hatred and malice.

I looked down into the pitch blackness, knowing I would rather take my own life than get mauled, and when their gnarly hands reached for me, I took a deep breath and jumped.

“RYN!”

I jerked awake in bed to hands touching me. Terrified, a scream ripped out of my throat and I was about to run out of bed when I heard a familiar voice.

“It’s just me, Ryn.”

I blinked several times, my eyes adjusting to the room illumined by the soft light of the early morning.

In my bed was my mate, his hair packed in a messy bun on his head.

“Theon?”

My mate nodded, as he swept one side of my hair behind my ear. “It’s okay. Were you having a nightmare?”

A tear rolled down my face as I nodded.

Theon’s thumb immediately wiped it off. “Do you want to talk about it?”

I shook my head in response. The last thing I wanted to do was talk, but just as I fumbled for words to say, my eyes darted to the slightly open door of a small cupboard. When I saw what was in it, I turned my focus back on Theon. “Could you please get me a glass of water?” I added a smile for good measure.

Theon’s blue eyes assessed me for a moment before he nodded and got out of bed. I noticed he had changed into a white t- shirt and sleep shorts. I guess Dominic told his staff to be as hospitable as possible.

As soon as Theon left the room, I got out of bed, and rushed to the cupboard, and as soon as I saw the tall bottle of vodka, a strange thirst overwhelmed me. My eyes darted to the door, then back to the bottle. noveldrama

My tongue darted out to wet my bottom lip.

I could hear my heart thumping hard as I contempated taking a drink but after what seemed like an agonizing moment of war, I closed the door instead and went back into bed. Holding my head in my hands, I rocked back and forth fighting the urge to have a vice.

Shortly after, Theon walked in with a glass of water, and the moment he gave it to me, I downed everything like I had been parched for days. When I was done, Theon collected the glass and kept it.

“Are you sure you don’t want to talk about your nightmares?”

I nodded frantically.

Theon leaned in, then hesitated, before lightly touching my lips with his. As if testing the terrains of my emotions.

In that moment, in the whirlwind of the dark, obsessive thoughts dominating my head, I wanted him.

I wanted him so badly but a child’s life was on the line and I had no idea if Miro was okay. It wasn’t fair to use Theon, especially since we hadn’t had sex before.

Theon pulled back at my hesitation and instead turned me around so he could spoon me.

“Get some rest.” He kissed the side of my head as he held me close, and I couldn’t help but feel even more shitty for not being able to be intimate with him. Everytime we go there, something always comes up.

I just want all this mess to be over with.
