The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 8

RYN

I alighted at the gates of my pack and from the minute I passed through, getting the stink eye from the guards, I should have known that my day was about to get progressively worse.

Unfortunately for me. I had arrived at a time when everyone was closing from work and when they saw me walking the streets with my bag chatched tightly to my side, they whispered and murmured amidst themselves. I walked faster avoiding the look of hatred and wariness in their eyes. Luckily, for me, my parents house wasn't too far so I quickened my pace till could see it in the distance.

Then I slowed down, hardly able to breathe as I saw how terrible the condition of the house had gotten. The front yard where I used to swing and help my mom tend her garden was overgrown with weeds. The house that once stood as a beacon of warmth and safety had now lost i its like a haunted house. A place once filled with joy was gone, as

a

vibrant color and looked more it never existed.

Swallowing my sadness, I proceeded to the front Keys. I have the

porch.

the keys somewhere. I brought down my bag and that's when I realized that my hands were shaking. Closing my eyes. I took deep breaths, touching my pendant. "You're going to be okay, Ryn" I sniffled. "Everything is going to be alright."

I was rummaging through my bag, looking for the keys when I heard the sound of a car engine. When I saw whose car it was, my heart began to race.

I came down the porch steps in time to see Alpha Jack step out of his car along with two other hefty men. Then crowds began to gather around us. "Alpha-"I started to started to say, but then I noticed the silver weapons in each of the men's hands. A silver chain and a bat with silver spikes.

What are you doing

here.

Ryn?" Alpha Jack asked as he leaned against his car and lit a cigarette.

1 scoffed nervously. "What do you mean, Alpha? This is my parent's house."

Alpha Jack blew smoke in the air. "Not anymore." He said icily.

My heart dropped. "Excuse me?"

"This house and the land it's on has been sold to someone else. It will be demolished soon."

I slowly curled my hands into fists. "No." I shook my head. "You can't do that." I exclaimed. "This is my parent's house! They rightfully own this place! They have the deeds and certificates!"

"Do they?" Alpha Jack raised a brow and I hoped to the gods that was right. "Your parents put up this house as collateral when they took a huge loan to find you a cure. They never paid it and now I want my money!"

I stood in shock as I took in his words. My parents took out a loan for me? They really paid that big of a price to fix me? God, I hope I am not about to lose the only connection I have with my parents. "How much is it? 1-1 can pay you back"

A cold, cruel laugh escaped my Alpha's lips. "We both know that not true, Ryn" Then his smile fades. "You need to leave.

"Yeah!"

ah!" Someone shouted from the crowd and others agreed with him.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I asked. "I just got here"

"Why?" I

The two men behind Alpha Jack took a step forward, showing off their weapons as a warning

"I know you got kicked out of school but you also don't belong here," My Alpha said with dead eyes. "You're not one of us."

His words felt like a punch to the stomach but I kept my face blisk. I won't cry. I won't let these people know how much it hurts. "Okay, Can I at least go in and take some things"

Alpha. Jack glared at me. "No. Whatever you need will be given to you at the gate."

1 released a Ia shaky breath. "This is not fair!"

a Jack released a breathy laugh. "Fair! This pack has kept your secret for the longest time. If you want to talk about being fair, then you wouldn't be alive!"

Alpha Jac

A cold shiver ran down my spine. I really looked at the people surrounding me and knew for sure that I was utterly alone in this world. Thunder rumbled somewhere in the distance, as I thought of what to do next. "Please!" I whispered. "I don't have anywhere else to go

Alpha Jack took a long drag before discarding his cigarette. "That ain't my problem. Your time is up! Lea

"Get out" Another person yelled and the angry mob turned it into a chant.

still a part of this pack! Please!"

Now!"

Now!

Alpha Jack snarled "Not anymore because 1, Alpha Jack Robinson, of the South Haven Pack, reject you as my member"

Immediately fire burned through me, making me cry out. Every part of me that was linked to every member of this pack became severed with harsh force. I fell to my knees, feeling every surface of my skin ignite with unbearable heat. It was as if I was burning from the inside out. I fell to the floor, thrashing as the pain became unbearable. Still I wouldn't let myself cry.

The pain got so bad that darkness began to encroach on my vision, as everyone in my pack cut ties with me. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was the face of someone familiar, watching me from the crowd. Someone who used to be my best, friend. At that moment, I wished I could turn back the hands of time. I wished she didn't make me do what I did. Now it was too late. Now, everyone hates Kyn

When I opened my eyes, I found myself on the side of the road, a far distance from the pack gate along with some of my things scattered on the ground. I groaned as I pushed myself up to a sitting position, feeling sore all over and sick on the inside.

I looked at the ground and found some new things that weren't part of what I brought from school. They looked like my parent's things like a few of my father's jackets and my mother's clothes. Then some pictures and stuff.

I forced myself to my feet and began to put them in the bag.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the skies grumbled and then it began to rain hard Tears stung the back of my eyes as I scrambled to get all my things in a bag Something on the floor, a few feet away caught my eye and when I realized what it was, I left everything else to get it.

It was a picture frame of my parents and I The glass was shattered but not enough for rain to get in yet. I quickly wiped the tears blurring my vision so I could see it better. It was a memory from when I was six with pigtails, smiling bag with some missing teeth. I looked so happy, standing between them, holding both their lands

Chapter 8

I remembered the last words of my father just before he left with my Mom to find a way to fix me. "Your Mom and I love you very much. my beautiful Kathryn. We will never abandon you and we will never let anything bad happen to you."

Then they died.

I hugged their picture to my chest and that's when I cried. Now Im abandoned, and now bad things happen to me. If only I had died with them, then I'd have been at peace. The rain got heavier and I became so cold that my teeth began to chatter. Rushing back to my things, I put the frame inside my bag and stood facing the road. I now have no one and no place to go.

Think, Ryn. You're a survivor and you've come this far in pure survival mode. There has got to be a place for me to keep my head for the meantime. Many places ran through my head, and then it hit me.

I do have a place to go but it was a risky move. If I get caught, I could suffer far worse consequences. I looked at myself trembling from the cold under the harsh rain. Then I smiled bitterly.

What does a rejected orphan have to lose?
