The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 85 RYN

I raised my chin, matching his angry gaze with mine. "I answer only to Prince Theon, and FYI," I leaned in closer to his ear. "Your food isn't really that great. I've tasted better." I shrugged.

Miro breathed out a laugh., moving back to appraise me from head to toe. "Yeah right. I doubt any other cook can make you moan like me."

My heart did a double take and I could have sworn that my kitty clenched at his words. I had a comeback. I swear I had something nasty to say in reply but it all got lost when my brain did a reboot. Another bite of pain and I realized why I came downstairs, "I need to go." I said, turning around and opening the door but in a flash, Miro shut it and whipped me around.

"You're not leaving until you tell me where you're going, Ryn. I'm not playing with you."

Now, I was really mad. "WHY DO YOU CARE?! I thought you hated me!"

He blinked, his brows pulling together. "I don't hate you."

I looked at him and scoffed. "Of course you do. I see it in the way you look at me, the way you talk to me and the way you treat me. You hate me!" My voice broke at the end, the pain becoming so unbearable that my eyes watered. "Ryn, I don't hate you."

"Bullshit!"

In a flash, Miro's hand curled around my throat, slamming my back against the door. The sounds of both our heavy breathing filled the air and I found Miro so close that I could percieve the perfume of his girl on him.

Miro's eyes cascaded to my lips and back to my eyes. The hate I once saw there dissolved into an emotion I really didn't want to decipher. "I don't hate you, Kathryn." His voice deepened, his lips dangerously close to mine. "I want to and I have tried to but everytime I see y I stared into his eyes, searching for an answer to the question on the tip of my tongue. "You think I'm pretty?"

As if realizing what he just did, Miro stepped away from me. The softness in his eyes hardening to stone. "I said, pretty annoying. Now where were you going?"

I swallowed, suddenly realizing I forgot my pain when he was so close and now that he was far away, I could feel the full effects again. Before I could answer, Miro's forehead creased as he assessed me. "You look pale." He said, taking a step closer. "I'm fine."

"You don't look fine, Ryn." He countered.

"Babes!" An impatient voice called and I looked up to see the tattooed lady at the top of the stairs, looking down at us. "When are you coming?"

"I'll be right there, love. Just give me five minutes."

The Lady rolled her eyes and shook her head before walking away.

"You should attend to your girlfriend." I whispered, barely able to speak up.

"She's not my girlfriend." He replied, a little too sharply. Then his tense body relaxed, "Look, as long as my brother is not around, you're my responsibility. So tell me, what's going on?"

I took deep breaths, guaging if I could be honest with him but before I could speak, a powerful wave of pain crashed through me so hard that a grunt escaped my lips and I doubled over while sinking to the floor.

In an instant, Miro lowered himself on his haunches, holding my face to check me. A tear ran down my cheek and in a breath he wiped it off. "Dammit, talk to me, Ryn." He said, fiercely.

So I explained everything about my condition and how I was close to reverting back to myself because Theon took back most of his lifeforce without knowing. "And I thought he'd be back home by now, but he's not." "Fuck. I'm calling the doctor." He said, bringing out his phone.

"Doctor Kwan already knows. There's nothing he can do." I panted, closing my eyes as the pain invaded every fiber of my bones, forcing them to quake and tremble.

"Then I'm calling my brother."

"No!" My answer came quick and sharp.

Miro's brows furrowed. "Why not?'

I breathed out a weak laugh. "Isn't it obvious? He'll try to give back his life force and I don't want him to get hurt again."

Miro nodded slowly in understanding. "Alright, I have a plan but first of all, come here." He said, and in one move. he carried me in his arms, bridal-

style to the nearest couch and laid me down gently. "I have a strong painkiller that will knock you out but it has some side effects."

Hicked my dry lips at the sound of that. "I'll take anything to make it stop. Anything."

Miro stared at me but I could see the worry in his eyes. Then he stood up and left and I laid here, clutching my side, crying at the sheer pain stabbing every inch of my skin. Miro later came back with a tiny bottle in hand. He opened the cap and I discovered it had a dropper "Open up." He said and I obeyed. Then he dropped two drops of a purple substance into my mouth and I swallowed. "The effects should kick in within five minutes." He said, checking his wristwatch.

"Thank you." I replied. "And sorry, I didn't let you get laid."

For the first time, Miro genuinely smiled at me and it was just as precious as seeing Theon smile for the first time..

"Get some rest, Ryn." He said, and I began to feel my eyelids get heavier.

Then I remembered something.

"I might not be able to finish your punishment on time." I mumbled, feeling like I'm floating on a sea of darkness but yet, finally at peace with my body..

"That's fine." He said, his voice sounding far away. "I simply wanted you to pay attention to the combat styles there."

My eyelids closed but I held on to the glimmer of consciousness I had left. It finally dawned on me. "You were trying to help me." I said but before I could hear his answer, I sank into oblivion 2/2
