The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

Dressed in a pink girly suit with a pink ribbon in her hair, Chelsea was led to the chair next to me and when she sat and I was hit with her cherry perfume. Crossing her legs, she ignored me and I turned away from her. What in the world was she doing here? Was she summoned too?

I suddenly remembered Maggie's warning concerning Chelsea and the death stare I had gotten when she saw Theon looking at me. Maybe she was here for payback. If so, then I was in real deep shit. A million and one thoughts ran through my mind as I kept looking for Prince Theon and just when I was about to turn to her and ask why she wanted to ruin my life, the doors opened and everyone immediately went silent. Everyone rose to their feet and bowed their heads and I followed suit. Suddenly the room became chillier and when I raised my head, I realized it was the aura of the Alpha King. By the time everyone was seated, I finally saw Prince Theon and Prince Miro taking their seats. I sighed a little in relief.

"Don't look at them." Chelsea said and I turned in time to see the smirk on her face. "They are not going to help you."

My

heart began to pound some more as her smirk grew. I touched my pendant and looked Prince Theon's way but he was busy listening to some Alpha.

How

a

am I going to tell him there is someone here ready to sabotage what we've been trying to achieve? After a moment of murmurings, the room quieted.

"As you all know, we are here to address the issue concerning the disappearance of Alpha Eric but first before we do that, we will be addressing the issue of Miss Ryn Ashmore, the female Elite of the taskforce being accused of stealing from an Alpha! Where is she?" I rose from the seat and as I approached the table, my legs felt like jelly. I finally met Prince Theon's eyes and strangely felt a bit at ease. "Your Majesty." I bowed from my waist.

The stern looking King glowered at me. His eyes and the smug look on his face reminded me of Miro and that once more made me feel uneasy. "So you stole from an Alpha. That is a highly punishable offense, one that could get kicked off the taskforce." "She didn't steal anything."

'I wasn't asking you, Prince Theon." The Alpha King snapped and the temperature in the room drastically dropped further making me feel chilly. I subtly glanced at Theon but couldn't find any trace of emotion on his face.

"Miss Ashmore, what do you have to say for yourself?"

My mouth suddenly went dry as all eyes focused on me. "Your Majesty, I didn't do it. I have no reason to steal from Alpha

Eric."

"No reason?" He asked with subtle amusement dancing in his eyes. "Last I checked, you're an ex-communicated orphan in the last few weeks of high school whom I heard used to eat from trash cans, had no respectable source of income and tried to make money by seducing men and serving drinks. You have all the reason in the world to steal."

My face burned with embarrassment but I raised my chin in defiance. "I am telling you, your Majesty. I didn't steal his watch." B til

The King's lips curled up in a smirk as he leaned forward with a taunting stare. "Can you prove it?" He raised his brows in question.

I opened my mouth and closed it as panic began to set in. I had no way of proving my innocence. Is this how I lose my spot on the Elite force? Is this how he wins? "I can't right now, your Majesty," I stuttered

Just then, I saw Prince Miro come to the King's side and whisper something to the King's ear, making his face brighten. I glanced at Theon who watched them with curious eyes but still no betrayal of emotion. "I just received news that there is someone here who wants to testify about the matter." The King said and when I turned around, my heart sank the moment I saw the stone cold hateful face of Chelsea.

So this is it. This is how she gets her payback.

"Your Majesty," She bowed. "My name is Chelsea Moore.

"Alright, Miss Moore, tell us what happened." He prompted with a sly smile. "Did you see Miss Ashmore steal Alpha Eric's watch?" heart began to race as Chelsea turned to me with her most hateful stare. "No, Your Majesty."

My

My heart skipped a

a beat before I breathed a sigh of relief, almost collapsing on my knees...

What just happened?

"What do t do you mean? You didn't see her take the watch?" The King asked, frowning.

"No, your Majesty." Chelsea replied, unhappy. "Ryn didn't take the watch. I did."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

My eyes widened as I stared at her, openmouthed. The Alphas began to murmur amidst themselves and when I turned to look at Prince Theon, I found him watching me. He gave a wink and my face heated up as I looked away, gleefully. When my eyes landed on Miro though, my joy dimmered as he did not look the least bit pleased with me. "Silence!" The King, ordered and all murmurs stopped. "So Miss Moore, if I get you correctly, what you're saying is that you planted the watch in Miss Ashmore's bag to make her look like she stole the watch?" ves, your Majesty." She answered confidently.

"Because Alpha Eric asked me to."

Another set of murmurs erupted. People shifted in their seats and all I could do was stare at Chelsea.

"That's a serious allegation, Miss Moore." The King said, "Are you sure of what you are saying?"

"Yes, your Majesty." Chelsea bowed her head. "Alpha Eric bribed me to plant his watch in Ryn's bag so he could have a reason to take her to his pack."

The King suddenly had nothing to say and I just stood with a hammering chest wondering what I did to deserve such

treatment.

"And how do we know you're not just trying to protect your work colleague?" The King finally asked.

"Because I have no reason to, your Highness. I hate her guts and aside from that I have tape recordings and video proof too."

Theaved a heavy breath in relief and smiled as Chelsea approached the King with her phone to show him the evidence. I glanced at Prince Theon again and wondered.

Did Theon have anything to do with Chelsea's confession? Because there is no way in hell that girl chose to admit to her

wrong doings out of the goodness of her heart.

decided I would ask him later.

After the King and his delegates reviewed the video footage of Alpha Eric bribing Chelsea, the council room once again settled into silence as they waited for the King's final verdict. 55% "Based on witness testimony and evidence, Miss Ashmore, you are free to go and your position at the Elite Force remains intact."

"Thank you, your Majesty." I beamed and bowed to him but from the way he frowned and glared at me, it was obvious that he wasn't happy about the situation. I looked at Prince Theon one more time as I was being us
