Chapter 40 THEON
The moment I knew Ryn was safe, I wore my shirt and then my men and I went after the Greyhounds who escaped into the woods closeby. After about an hour, we were able to catch a lot and I supervised their arrest before going back to the battle When I arrived, I found two teams working on the field; one was in charge of taking care of the bodies while the other helped the wounded.
Tired but eager to participate. I volunteered to help. It was during this moment, while helping an Elite with a semi-detached limb to the tent that I found Miro standing next to Ryn on a stretcher. I paused, and watched as Ryn laid on her side, while a female Healer tended to the wound on her stomach. What in the sacred gods happened to Ryn? Who did that to her?
Since Ryn
"My Prince The Healer bent, I signaled to an Elite to take their fellow man inside and after that, I went straight towards Ryn. My brother was the first to see me and I immediately saw the uneasiness in his eyes.
Ryn was outside the
I before going back to work. Kyn, on the other hand, had her eyes closed and her forehead creased in pain. "Your Highness." She whispered and I went around the Healer so she could see me.
"I'm right here, Ryn." I said, and without thinking, I brushed the hair covering her face behind her ear while her eye closed. "I'm here for you."
"Be careful. We are in public." Miro mindlinked and I retracted my hand. can't I control myself when I'm around her?
Why can't I
"What the f***k happened?" I asked my brother.
"Chelsea" He stated and anger sparked in my veins. That d***n girl was becoming a serious thorn in my flesh. "She laced her claws with poison before sticking it in Ryn. The Healer can't predict the cure unless she knows what it is." "And where's Chelsea?"
"According to Ryn, she's dead. I have sent men to retrieve her body so we can inspect the poison in her claws."
I relaxed a little at that and when I looked at Miro, he signaled with his head for us to go to a more private place to talk. With one longing look at, Ryn. I left her side and followed my brother several feet away.
When we got out of earshot, Miro turned to me,
"What the f****** is going on, T?" He asked, with arms crossed over his chest. "All you told me was you were going on a business trip.
I shrugged. "I actually did go on the trip. I just arrived in town earlier and didn't tell you."
Miro blinked and I knew that statement hurt his feelings but he quickly masked it. "You told Dad that you knew nothing of Alpha Eric's disappearance."
I slid my hands in my pockets. "I lied."
"Dad is going to be pi***d!"

"Til handle him"
Just then, two Elites approached us and bowed. When they raised their heads. I could tee the worry lines on their faces.
"What's wrong" Mirn asked. "Where is the body 1 ked for?"
One of the men, a lewensed haired man povely in his early ties, licked his lips before replying: "That's the problem, wr Highness. We've gone to the place you told us sheat and even searched through all the dead bodies in the field, we about could now find her" Ther
Miro and I shared a glattice. "You mean Chelses'i body it gone? "finked
"Yes sir. Not a trace of her anywhere" He replied
"No. That's impossible. Chelses is dead" Ryn said, after we informed her of what we heard. She was still in pain, but a fresh Bandage had been placed on her wound. "She ran into the Greyhound's wolf's mouth. I

Then she slowly shook her head. "I only saw the wolf get her but I was too busy trying to stay alive to notice anything else."

I sighed as I remembered the olden days with Chelsea and how she had learnt about poisons from me. "I have a pretty good idea where to start." I replied.
"I can come with you, just to speed things up. Time is of the essence." Miro said and I was about to reply when suddenly, I saw cars speed down the road towards us.
Their lights blinded us for a moment before they skidded to a stop, several feet from us.
Just then, men alighted and a big man with a scar across his eye, caught our attention. The essence of his power was terrible. and domineering and any ordinary wolf would have scampered away or bowed to show their respect. However, my brother and I were Princes and that put us just a smidge above him in power and rank.
He marched towards us along with his men dressed smartly in uniforms and the way he glared at us, it was obvious he hated
Us.
US.
"Prince Theon. Prince Miro. He called as he closed the distance between us.
"Beta Dutton." I said, coldly.
He gave a wry smile. "Happy to know you remember my name considering what you both did to my cousin."
"What do you want, Beta?" Miro stepped forward and he frowned.
"It's more of what the King wants and he wants you both at his house in the next hour."
