The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter THEON

29

If only Ryn knew how happy I was for her.

After learning of the summoning, I had called my father and he had forbidden me from seeing or speaking to Ryn. So I had to take extra measures. After all, I am my father's son and I can somewhat predict his moves. So, I left in the middle of the night, straight to the club and while on the way, I had ordered Tim Jang to grant access to video footage. It didn't take long to see how Ryn was set up and when I requested for Chelsea, she had been more than happy to see me until I faced her with the truth. Then I gave her two options; rot in prison for the rest of her life or confess and own up. Forcing her hand from there became quite easy.

After Ryn was justified, the King took a small break to his office and most of the Alphas used that opportunity to catch up with each other. I wanted to go out and speak to Ryn but I didn't want my Father to know how much I cared about her, so I stayed put while Miro stormed out.

I was answering some emails, waiting with the others, when I felt eyes on me and when I raised my head, I found three new men glaring at me. I recognized two of them from the club. They had been sitting with Alpha Eric on the night he harassed Ryn. One of them had a black eye and some cuts on his lip while the other had his arm in a cast. The third guy however was younger than them and based on his resemblance to Alpha Eric, he must have been either his son or his younger brother.

I decided to ignore them and go back to my business, then, someone walked in and when I raised my head, I saw it was my brother.

"You tricked me." Miro's voice slithered in my head, drowning out the soft chatter of the council.

me pretending to have something against Ryn."

"Yes. And because he has you bound under authority, I knew you would have no choice but to tell him. Father has been eager to get Ryn kicked out, so, checkmate." Miro smiled bitterly and when he looked at me again, I could see the pain in his eyes. "Good to know you'd stoop so low to. use me just to save her." I blinked in surprise. That was not what I intended. "Miro..." I started. "Save it! Before You got what y

could I say anything else, The Alpha King who had previously gone to his office for a break came out and once again, we all rose to our feet and bowed. When he sat, we sat as well. "Now that t the issue of Miss Ashmore has been settled," My father glared at Miro, "it's time to discuss the matter of Alpha Eric's disappearance."

My father turned to the three new men seated at the table and asked them to introduce themselves.

The one with the resemblance to Alpha Eric rose to his feet, "My name is Nicholas Grayson, son of Alpha Eric Grayson and interim Alpha of the GreyHound Pack." He said with pride. "Along with me are Beta Jack Brockner," he pointed to the one with the black eye, "and my father's best friend, Viktor Solokov." He said, pointing to the one in the cast. The three men bowed.

"Alright." The King said and turned to me. "Prince Theon, these three men have accused you of invading their pack, causing

mayhem and being responsible for Alpha Eric's disappearance. So let's take this one after the other. First of all, what happened after the accident?"

I sighed. "After Miss Ashmore got hit by Alpha Eri-"

"How are you sure it's my father?!" Nicholas cut in, fuming in his seat. I cocked my head to the side and watched him in amusement.

"Alpha Nicholas, you only speak when spoken to in this meeting. I won't tolerate speaking out of turn from you." The King said sternly.

"My apologies, your Majesty." He bowed, before glaring at me.

"You may continue." The King said to me.

"As I was saying, after Alpha Eric tried to kill me," I looked at Nicholas for added measure. "My main focus was getting Miss Ashmore optimal treatment so I took her to the hospital while my men apprehended Alpha Eric's men. "And where are these men now?"

"In one of your prisons, your Highness."

"After that, what did you do?"

I swallowed, remembering how things went down. "I sent some of my Elites to Alpha Eric's pack to have him arrested but they refused them entry. So I had to go there myself. I just wanted to talk."

My father raised a finger to stop me. "It says here that you barged through the gates with your car and when you arrived at the Grayson manor, you and your men fought the guards leading to, and I quote, "Loss of several limbs" chose to

"Yes, that's co fight.

"I answered, "according to law, if the Crown Prince demands entry into an Alpha's home, especially on legal matters, he should be allowed in otherwise he is free to take any measure he so desires. I just wanted to talk," I stared at Viktor and Jack, "but Their faces reddened as they glared at me and when the King and his council looked at them, they looked away in shame.

"And

I what about the rumors of you being the last to see Alpha Eric before he went missing?"

"All false." I said, pressing some buttons on my phone. Within seconds, the council each got a beep on their devices. "Yes, my men and I tracked down Alpha Eric to the Langley Portside but according to the video I just sent to you all, Alpha Eric succeeded in getting on a ship heading outside the country. Satellite footage also showed him three hours later drinking wine and celebrating with the ladies. So, I am definitely not the last person to see Alpha Eric. If you want to know the truth," I looked Nicholas square in the eyes, "ask those on the boat."

The King and the council began to nod in approval and I leaned back in my seat, proud and content.

Later on, after much deliberation, the GreyHound Pack was heavily fined for their mistreatment of myself and my men. Then, we were all dismissed.

As I rose to my feet, re-buttoning my suit, Nicholas approached me.

"I still don't believe the crap you said about my father." He stepped a little bit too close, but his beta held him back.

I slid my hands into my pockets. "You don't have to believe. What matters is what the Council believes."

And with that said, I sidestepped them and left the room with my men.

Now that I was done, I suddenly felt the urge to have lunch with Ryn but then, I shook my head. I told Miro I'd stay away from her. Ryn's my trainee for crying out loud. Taking her to lunch is starting to sound like a date and I have no intention of

leading her on. My wolf stirred, showing his displeasure with not spending time with Ryn and I began to wonder why.

Was Ryn my mate? I shook my head. I already met my mate years ago but things didn't work out between us, so Ryn definitely can't be my mate.

So why? Why does she excite my wolf? Why do I feel...different around her?

After thinking and deliberating, I entered the back seat of my car.

"Where to sir?" My driver asked and I met his eyes in the rearview mirror.

Should I have lunch by myself or go home and cook something for her? After all, she has tasted Miro's cooking but not mine. My wolf stirred again to show its displeasure at that.

I sighed. There's nothing wrong in making lunch for myself and inviting her to have a plate right? That's not a date, it's just... being nice. Right?

Ah. F***k it. I groaned as I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Take me home."
