The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter THEON

18

Days later, I was standing in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trees on the outskirts of the city. It's late evening, and the sun is no longer in the sky. In front of me was a one storey abandoned house, and surrounding it were my Elites, armed with guns and knives, Everyone was quiet, staying as still as the wind while waiting for my signal, 1. on the other hand, watched the house intently, listening for the slightest movement.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Did you do the surveillance as requested?" I mind linked my brother. "Yes. There's just one mutant in there.

"Good."

"Are you sure you are up for this?" Miro's voice came on in my head

glanced arhim. Miro was dressed like me in a grey t-shirt, dark camo pants, and heavy combat boots, but unlike me, he was holding a heavy sniper rifle trained at the building, "I'm fine, Ro." I replied. "Why are you asking?"

"I don't know? Maybe because ever since the lunch incident, you've been coughing out blood?"

Like a reflex, my fist went to my aching chest, rubbing it slightly. The healers said I will be back to normal in a few days"

*I also remember the Healers telling you to have optimal rest and not put yourself in stressful situations. You should have put me in charge."

"Are you that eager to replace me?"

Miro relaxed his gun and glared at me but before he could say anything, I raised two fingers to stop him. C****g my head I heard the slightest of creaks but when I listened more and heard nothing. I signalled to my men to throw teargas through the window. Immediately, about seven of them did as I said and then we all waited some more.

Within minutes, the house creaked again, and when I looked up at one of the upper windows, I saw glowing red eyes.

"Brace yourselves!" I ordered and the order had barely left my mouth before the upper window exploded in a shower of concrete and glass! Everyone cowered but because I was a few feet away, I didn't need to. As a result, I saw a black beast jump through the air before landing on its paws, two feet away from me. Although it had some black essence oozing from it like a shadow, I could still see what it looked like.

It looked like a horribly disfigured lycan. A monster. "Permission to shoot sirf One of my men asked as he and a few of his collegues immediately surrounded the creature with their guns

1 barely had an answer for them when the beast swung his arms back and had my men flying backwards through the air. The one who didn't get caught began to shoot and right before my eyes, the beast swiped through air with its claws and had man split in two from one shoulder diagonally to his other side, my

I could barely register my shock nor rage when it sighted me and snarled. Immediately, I tapped into my Alpha aura Letting a growl rip through my mouth, I felt my hands elongate into claws, ready to fight. Just when it took a step towards me, the sound of a gunshot pierced the air and I saw the beast get pushed back. Turning to my right, I saw Miro reload his gun before firing another shot. The beast growled

so loud that I felt the ground beneath me vibrate and then in a flash, it was gone, dashing on all fours into

the woods at incredible-speed. I gave orders to my men to go after it and just as Miro proceeded after them, I stopped him with a hand to his elbow. He glanced at it before raising a questioning brow at me.

"What was that all about?" I queried. "I didn't give the order to shoot."

Miro huffed and looked at me like I was being ridiculous. "Did you just see what he did to Roman? If I didn't shoot, he was going to maul you!" "And you should have let him do that instead of going against my direct orders."

Miro

confusion before his eyes hardened. "Fine." He gritted out. "Whatever you say. Commander." He answered. before storming past me.

I turned to see him walking into the bush and sighed. Just then, the pressure in my chest became heavier and I began to cough. It felt like my lungs had wounds and were chaling against each other. Bringing out my handkerchief, I coughed into it and when I checked it, I found blood inside. Miro was right. Spearheading this operation wasn't the right call, but if I hadn't taken charge, my father would know something had happened to me and he would trace it all the way back to Ryn. Reaching into one of "Commander,"

of my pockets, I brought out a small container containing pills, and popped some into my mouth. They were specially made painkillers that would help my wolf heal faster. Miro's voice thundered in my head. "I think we have him cornered. What do we do?"

"Stand down." I replied. "Keep him in sight until I get there."

Tired,

exhausted, and dirty, Miro and I rode the elevator to our penthouse suite in silence. Halfway there and I sighed.

"I apologize for the way I acted today. I-"I paused. "I didn't mean some of the things I said."

Miro stayed silent and just when I thought he wouldn't answer, he sighed as well. "You did it for her, didn't you?" In't react

I didn't

He scoffed and turned to me. "Bringing her on the team? Going toe to toe with Dad? Firing Principal Crow? Taking her to Lunch? Just admit that you have something for this girl." Do I? I wondered. "I don't." I answered. "I told

you that part of me is dead."

"Doesn't seem like it to me." Miro murmured.

A moment of silence passed. "You won't understand."

Then make

ake me."

I slightly turned to look into my brother's eyes. I could see the curiosity, anger and other emotions swimming in them.

"You've been obsessed with this girl since she came into our lives. You've even changed. You are no longer stoic, you're now.... reckless."

1 ground my jaw in anger. "Watch your tone, Ro." I cut in, feeling the dredges of anger surge within me. "I may be your twin, but I am still your superior."

Miro huffed a laugh and shook his head as he rested his hands on his waist. "Today's operation would have been an absolute failure had it been we weren't lucky. Two men died today. T. The critically injured. All because your judgement was skewed! These are men who have successfully passed the training. What happens when Ryn passes her training and fully

joins us on missions? Would you endanger more lives for her!"

Surely. I wouldn't, and I was about to say that when the elevator door opened. Miro and I stepped out onto the passageway and the moment we did that, all the hairs on the back of my neck stood. A glance at Miro indicated that he also felt the same thing I was feeling Slowing down to a soundless walk, I sniffed the air, and detected notes of musk and cedarwood. Miro met my eyes. "Someone's here." He mindlinked.

"Not just anyone." I replied, as anger flamed in my bones and 1 quickened my pace.

The door to our suite flung open, and just as I guessed. I found the Alpha King standing in the middle of the living room. He raised his eyes to meet ours and shoved his hands in his pockets Hello Theon." He said in a teasing tone. "Daddy's home." 3/8
