The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

I looked away, my chest seemingly about to explode.

What was my former Alpha doing here?

"You may rise." The Alpha King said and we all rose to our feet, At my full height, The Alpha King was still a big, scary man, towering over everybody. I finally understood where Theon and Miro got their big bodies from. They also had some resemblance to him but with the All around me, I could feel the buzz of tension and excitement at the fact that the Alpha King was here with the team. He surveyed the warriors standing before him, his steely gaze lingering a moment longer on me, before looking away.

"Warriors," he began, his voice resonant and commanding, "today, you have an opportunity to prove why you belong in the Elite. This competition isn't just about strength; it's about strategy, resilience, and your ability to adapt when everything feels like it's against you." His He continued, pacing slowly. "Some of you have clawed your way here, fighting tooth and nail to uphold a legacy of loyalty and power. That's what this competition is truly about-honoring the bloodline, tradition, and the strength you were born to embody."

Then his eyes flickered briefly toward me, the corner of his mouth lifting in contempt. "Of course, not everyone here understands what it means to carry that burden or to have something worth fighting for. Some have stumbled into this place," he added, barely pausing, "hoping that sheer determination can make up for certain... natural deficiencies."

The boys stiffened, missing the slight, but Konan looked my way and smirked. I continued to maintain my mask of indifference despite feeling the burn of the King's pointed remark. He can talk all he wants but it's up to me to prove him wrong. At first, I felt guilty for feeding I will do anything to win.

The King returned his gaze to the boys, his expression stern. "So I want you to go out there today, each of you. Show me what you've got. Show me that this program was worth my investment, and remind everyone watching why the elite warriors are not for the faint- hearted."

Collins howled to the ceiling and all the boys joined in, sending a wolf howl so loud every hair on my body stood upright. When they settled down, the King's eyes shifted back to me, a barely noticeable sneer in his tone. "And remember," he said, his voice dropping lower, " "YEAH!" They roared, slamming their fists against lockers and every surface as they hyped themselves up. Only I stood still, exchanging glares with the King. When it came time to leave, I followed the boys. "Miss Ashmore." The King called and I stopped in my tracks, turning to him. "A word?"

Collins and Konan smirked at me, before leaving me alone with the Alpha King, his beta and my former Alpha. I came back to my original standing position and bowed once again. "Your Majesty."

"Cut the crap." The King said, and I blinked at him in surprise. "Where are my sons?" He queried, his steely gaze locked in on me. I glanced from him to the men behind him and back.

"I don't know, your Majesty." I replied.

"Liar!" Dutton growled.

The King stepped towards me, and I took a step back, watching him warily. "You live with them. So how come

know?" He arched a brow.

"I really don't!' I moved back, feeling the aura of his power wrap around my throat. "Just because I live with them doesn't mean they tell me anything."

"So what?" He raised a brow, stopping in his tracks. "You're just their whore?"

The men behind him chuckled much to my annoyance.

"No, your Majesty." I gritted out.

"I hope not." He stared at me from head to toe. "I can't have my sons laying with the likes of you." He said with disgust and I frowned.

Is my low status that unappealing?

Suddenly, the Alpha King reached out and grabbed hold of my right arm. I glanced up at him in shock and tried to pull my arm back but his grip was unyielding. To my horror, his eyes turned to a glowing red and immediately, a sharp pain coursed through my body. I let out a down at my arm and found his claws digging into my flesh.

"Tell me.' He said and I felt a sizzling heat seeped from his claws, flooding my veins. "Tell me what my sons are up to."

At the weight of his command, I felt a pressure on my mind like an iron-NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

fisted demand forcing itself against my thoughts, threatening to consume me entirely. His will was like a dark, foreign presence, seeping into every fiber of her being, twisting, and tightening like a snake wrapping around my thoughts.

"I-I don't know." I replied, refusing to betray the twins. After all, they were trying to save my life.

"Look at me." The King ordered and I raised my gaze to meet his fiery red ones. "Listen and listen well. Once we are done here, you will go to your coach and you will tell him you're forfeiting the competition. After that, you will tell my sons that you quit the Elite program and His command pulsed through my bloodstream, echoing with every heartbeat, as if my very blood had taken up his call. My/ vision blurred around the edges, and I felt herself teetering on the edge of surrender. My body wanted to yield, to bow to his dominance, and let myse 'Disappear where?' I asked softly.

Alpha Jack came forward, his cold gaze fixed on me. "Once you accept, my pack and I are willing to take you back and you will gain access to all your family's properties. You will be treated as one with the pack. No more judgement or suffering."

My mind raced and scattered. Did my former Alpha just offer me the one thing I had always wanted my whole life? And what did he mean by my family's properties?

'Say Yes.' The power running into my veins cajoled, like a sensual lover's whisper against my ear.

But deep within, a spark flickered-

a defiant ember, burning stubbornly in the dark. I latched onto it, digging my mental claws into that fiery core, as I braced herself against the current of his will. The Alpha King's presence pulsed again, violent and furious, pressing harder, as though he were trying to root him "No." I whispered, breaking out in sweat.

A fresh wave of pain tore through my arm, his claws pushing deeper, and I let out an agonizing cry.

"You mean yes?" The Alpha King nodded.

I gritted my teeth, hard. "I said no!" The word ignited inside me reverberating with such intensity that his power recoiled, weakening and thinning like smoke caught in a gust of wind.

The King blinked in surprise, and shared his shock with Alpha Jack.

"I told you she's different." He murmured to him silently but I caught it.

The King faced me and I could feel his anger boiling beneath his calm mask but I held on, grounding myself with every ounce of strength I could muster. His command pushed but my thoughts pushed back.

"You will obey!" The King insisted.

"NO!" I gritted back and then I began to feel my wolf rise to the surface. Before she could do anything further, Alpha Jack gripped my hair and forced my head back.

"How dare you disobey the King?"

"Get your hands off me, Jack!" I snarled.

He blinked at me in surprise before his eyes narrowed in a sneer "I should have had you killed when I had the chance."

A pang of fear mixed with hatred shot through me. "As if I'm that easy to kill." I replied and in a flash, I raised my left ankle, retrieved the knife I strapped to it and stabbed him in the chest. He released me immediately, staggering back with a groan.

He stared at his chest in disbelief, removing the little knife slowly before gaping at me. "How dare you?!" He snarled, "I will kill you!"

"I'd like to see you try." A voice said and my heart leapt into my throat when I saw Theon walk in, carrying nothing but murder in his eyes.
