Chapter 16 THEON
Something is happening to me and I can't tell if I like it or not. I just know that today I have gone from being used to eating by myself to having two people at lunch with me. And what a shocker. I don't hate it.
Our food arrived and I became slightly amused at the way Ryn snuck looks at Miro and copied his style of doing things. From the handkerchief around the neck to the way he held his fork and knife, Ryn watched him like a hawk and adapted with perfect precision. "Are you having fun teaching our Elite how to fine dine?" I míndlinked my brother. He didn't look at me but the slightest hint of a smile appeared on his lips. "She's lovely, isn't she?" He replied. "She thinks I don't know she's copying me.
"That's why you're slowing down for her." I concluded.
Yes. Someone like her will never ask for help so best to make her think this was all her idea."
"Mhmmm." Ryn moaned and like a six inch knife through the u, her sound pierced my consciousness, setting my blood on fire as it rushed to my c****k. Even Miro went still, watching her like a predator but Ryn was oblivious to our reactions. Instead, she had her eyes closed in ecstasy as she chewed her food but when she opened her eyes and realized what she had done, she froze with eyes as wide as a deer. "Uhm, sorry." She murmured, covering her mouth. The smile on her face was gone and now, her ears flushed pink.
"You have nothing to be sorry for." I stated, resuming my meal.

"This is a safe space, so you can eat as you like Miro added.
Ryn gave
a curt nod and resumed eating but this time, I could tell she was being very mindful and demure.
"Can I ask something?" She piped up.
"Yea sure." I prompted.

I glanced at Miro before using a paper towel to dab my mouth. That's because Sadie told us what really happened and showed us the video as well.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"Oh." Her brows flew up. "Wow. She told me she'd fix things, I just didn't believe her." She muttered to herself. "She must have gone through great lengths to reach you guys."

I at Miro before taking a long drink out of my glass of wine. glanced between us, "Is there something else I'm missing?"
Miro rolled his eyes. "Enough suspense already." He groaned. "Sadie is our cousin on our mother's side."
kyn's eyes widened and 1 could see the wheels in her head begin to turn. "But.." She paused. "She's so unassuming in school."
"That's because Sadie is a private person and just wants to attend school normally without the pressure of being treated like Royalty." I answered.

"Oh." Ryn answered, before sipping from her glass of o
orange e juice. "Now some t
things make sense."
We ate some more and after our table was cleared, Ryn focused her attention on me. "So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
Miro stiffened in his seat, his mood suddenly darkening.
Dabbing the corners of my mouth, I took a deep breath and told her about the meeting with the Alpha King and his subjects. From the moment I opened my mouth to talk, a certain pain blossomed in my head and my chest and the more I talked, the worse it got. Still. I maintained my composure, curling my hands into fists as informed her of the votes and what's at stake.
I
The more Ryn heard, the more her expression darkened and I wished she didn't have to deal with it but it was necessary. "So despite voting in your favour, the Alpha King has placed a condition on your position." I paused, feeling a slicing pain cut through my head so much that my vision went red for a second and I couldn't see anything
took a shaky breath and forced myself to continue.
"Theon-"Miro Miro warned but I held up my hand to stop him while still facing Ryn who looked every bit confused.
"If you're known t to perform below expectation during the training period, you will be kicked out." I breathed, feeling another slicing pain cut through my chest. Suddenly, breathing became hard for me and I had to grip my thighs to cope you are caught flouting the rules, you will be kicked out" face fell as she swallowed. "So now, what you're saying is that I am on a hot seat for the remainder of the training?" "Not just you." Miro answered, and I looked at him in surprise. Down the bond, I instantly felt that same slicing pain which meant that Miro was going through the same thing as me. "If you fail and my father wins, not only will you be kicked out but women will be permanently b banned from the program."
Ryn stared at the table, seemingly digesting the information. "So all I have to do is survive the training period and I am good!"
I sighed, feeling the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life overwhelm me, "but it won't be that easy."

on life;
I almost smiled. "I'm fine, Ryn."
nodded slowly but watched me warily. "So, what did that statement about it not being easy mean?"
Ryn nodo
"It means that my father has a way of getting what he wants and he usually does." Miro pitched in
"I don't understand." Ryn said, looking between me and my brother. "What have I really gotten myself into?"
I glanced at Miro and he subtly shook his head to prevent me from talking. "All we can say is that you have to watch your back" The moment I said that, another sharp pain occurred, making me grip my head. "We have no idea how he plans to derail you but anything can happen." Another assault and I suddenly felt like throwing up.
"The best we can do is push you to be better than you've ever been but against him, our hands are tied." Miro added.
Kyn nodded to herself. "Sa technically, I am on my own against the Alpha King?"
"I'm afraid so." I replied, rising to my feet. I suddenly felt like I was coming down with a fever so I excused myself and took deep breaths as I walked to the bathroom On the way there, I felt something warm trickle out of my nose and when I touched it with my finger, I discovered it was blood.

My vision shifted and I almost fell to my knees when I felt a strong hand hold me up. Looking to my left, I found my brother by my side. "I got you." He said and with my arm around his shoulder, we made it into the restroom. later, Miro was pacing furiously as I cleaned the blood from my nose with a paper towel. He suddenly stopped and stared at the ceiling. "This is insane!" "I know."
What were you thinking? You could have died!"
"I had to warn her. I replied. Blood slipped out of my eye and I grabbed another wad of toilet paper to dab it out. "If I don't, there's a high chance Ryn won't just fail but she also won't survive."
I know, but our father bound us by Alpha authority not to tell her shit! Directly disobeying that was flat out stupid!" He glared at me through the mirror. "Why not just give up on her? Why not let her go before things get ugly?" "I don't know." I looked away. "Maybe because at some point in our lives, we have to stand up against the bully? If Ryn is willing to do that, then we can learn a thing or two from her," Miro's turn to look away now. "I really hope it's worth it, 1 He said.

"Me too." I replied, catching another drop of blood from my nose. "For Ryn's sake, it has to be."
