The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

I groaned as the call ended and wondered what I did to catch the attention of the Windermere's and the Cresshalls. Was this how it was with my parents? Were they friends with the Blackwells because they went to the same school? I suddenly realized I knew nothing of my parents' background. I just knew them as Dad the scientist and Mom, the teacher. I never dug deep into their lives. Suddenly, I had the urge to get up from the floor. Everything my parents owned was still in my former pack. Can I still call Alpha Jack and ask for permission to come in and get their things? Then I remembered the way they treated me, and kicked me out. I doubt Alpha Jack will ever let me back in. So how can I find out more about my parents? A text dropped on my phone and it was Sadie checking to see if was getting ready for her arrival. I groaned and rolled my eyes before grabbing my towel and essentials to head for the bathroom. On my way, a thought formed in my mind. What if I google my father's name?

I had never done it before so I decided to try it.

I I half expected not to find anything as I typed, 'Devon Ashmore' in the search bar. When my father's happy face showed up, my heart did a hiccup. He was so handsome with dark brown hair greying at the sides and he had beautiful blue eyes that looked so similar to Prince Prince Theon's.

That's when it clicked for me. The initial safety I felt with Theon was because of how similar his eyes were to my father. All this while I was searching for my Dad in him! Goddess! How pathetic is that?

I shook my head and continued scrolling. My father had a whole google page dedicated to him and his life. Turns out he was a brilliant man, who was head of his department. I also vaguely remembered my mother telling me Dad was a very important man at work. Now I understand. Scrolling some more, I read the headline stating his death in a 'tragic accident, leaving behind a daughter! Many variations of the headline filled the search results so I went to the 'images tab' and saw a whole lot of pictures of my father with my mom and they both at so many events. I saw when my mother was pregannt with me and standing beside my father in a beautiful black dress that complimented her baby bump. How did I never see this before?

I smiled as I saw them either together or apart, each living fulfilled lives. They always had a smile on their faces, until I stumbled on a photo of them not smiling.

I decided to check it out. They were in a group photo with a lot of people and to my surprise, I was there.

I was a toddler, dressed in black, standing near my parents. My father had his hand on my shoulder and the other around my Mom's waist. I looked really sad, like I was on the verge of crying and I noticed everyone else had their children in the pictures. None of them looked happy either. They seemed to be six families including mine all dressed in black. ng my

I zoomed in to see their faces starting from the far right where my parents stood. I couldn't recognize the people next to my parents so I looked at their children and for a moment, I thought one of their boys looked a lot like Konan. Sh head, I moved on to the next family and instantly recognized Sadie's parents. I had never seen them in person but I had seen giant portraits of them at their house.

In her mother's arms, was chubby Sadie and she was also crying as well. What in the world happened to make her so terrified and sad? Also the adults. Why were they frowning and looking like they were all forced to take the picture?

I went on to the next family and they were the ones in the middle. They had an air of importance on their faces and didn't 10:30 Tue, Oct 29 B

seem too annoyed. Just nonchalant. I looked at their kids and to my surprise, I recognized Adam Blackwell. He was at least three

years older than me standing between two older boys. He and his brothers didn't seem as disturbed as the rest of us and I found that really odd. So these were the Blackwells.

The son of the next family had my blood running cold. He couldn't even be categorized as a kid because he was already a young adult and his parents were the only ones who were older than the rest. I stared into the smug face of Director Dutton who stared at the camera like he knew something everyone else didn't. Did the Duttons know my parents? I wondered.

Then my eyes fell on the last family on the far right, just opposite my parents.

Standing with his eyes locked on a little blonde girl carried on his side was the Alpha King. He seemed to be brushing a strand of hair out of her face. Standing beside him was his unhappy looking wife who had her eyes on my parents and her hands on her two sons. My mouth dropped open when I saw that young Theon and Miro were both looking right at me.

I

I ran a hand pushing my hair back out of my face. How in the world have I met the Princes before and I did not know? Why were they looking at me like that? Why was their mother staring at my parents? Do the Princes recognize me from before?

The more I thought about it, the more confusing everything got. If the Princes recognized me, then why did they not say it outright like Adam did? Why play mind games? Ishook my head. I doubt the twins recognize me or even know who I was.

I rubbed my head. Feeling my headache get more intense.

And then the Duttons. Surely, the new Director must have remembered me from before as well as the Alpha King. So what is going on? When was this meeting? and i

I it to a post stated that picture was taken the annual Ball.

A lightbulb came en in my head, this is the same Ball the winner of the tests will attend? Will going there give me more answers or will it create more questions? I guess I have to win to find out.

My phone buzzed again and it was Sadie informing me she was ten minutes away. I began to think of everything.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The Princes picking my school out of others as their base for interviews for the next Elites. Meeting Sadie and having to defend her from Bessie. Being sexually harassed by Coach Dutton to him being replaced by Adam Blackwell and then Director Dutton, the King's Beta and also having Konan as a rival. Was it this fate, coincidence or was it all planned?

I am now on to a loose thread and I am going to pull until everything unravels. Starting with Sadie, I'll need to find out everything she knows about the King's Ball that happened sixteen years ago.

With that decision set, I went to the bathroom. SEND GIFT
