The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

MIRO

I did a double take, my lips on the verge of curling into a smirk. "Your girl?" Theon's icy cold expression did not change but I know, he knows that I know he fucked up. "You sound jealous. I thought you had no interest in her?"

"Answer my question, Ro." His voice got way too quiet for my liking. "Why are her eyes closed like that? What happened to her?"

I paused, wondering how I can answer my brother's question without betraying Ryn's trust.

"You know you're being really serial killer-y right now." I said, trying to lighten up his mood. "And it's scary."

All Theon had to do was intensify his glare, and let down his wall through our bond and the amount of anger I felt from him was so intense that my wolf perked up in alarm, becoming restless. I sighed, hating when my own twin gets like this. He always showed this side of h Theon sighed but he obeyed and then his features softened and he put up walls again in our bond.

I hated that too. I wanted him to let down his guard with me but I guess I'd be asking for too much.

My wolf finally settled and I explained why Ryn was sleepwalking but omitted the reason why she needed the medication. As a result, Theon visibly relaxed.

"Thanks for looking after her but I'll take it from here." He said, reaching for Ryn and gently unwrapping her hands from my waist. After that, he pulled her away from me and immediately, her nose went in the air again, sniffing for something. I watched her, some little part of Then my hopes became dashed. Her nose led her to Theon's arms instead and when she wrapped her arms around his waist and sighed in satisfaction, I felt somewhat betrayed.

I wondered why.

My brother slowly led Ryn to his bed, helped her get in and tucked

her in like she was a child. Then, I remembered how he used to do that to me when I came home drunk or was sick. He did that to Mom too when she was sick and it suddenly dawned on me that not once did I ever see my twin get vulnerable enough to be taken care of un Theon had always been the caretaker his whole life but who took care of him?

Once he was done tucking her in, he went to his closet and later came out with a pair of blankets. Then he went to a sofa, and sat on it. Finally, he looked my way. "What? "Want me to tuck you in too?"

"I could use some right now." I replied.

Theon looked at me like I was mad. "Get out." He said tiredly before lying on the sofa and covering himself with the blanket. I stared at him for a moment and then at Ryn, sleeping peacefully, before leaving.

As soon as I entered my room, I took my phone from the nightstand and dialled a line. Seconds later, someone came on.

"Sir."

"I want every detail on my brother's secret mission."

""Yes sir."

"And one more thing." Hadded.

"Sir?"

"Whatever you find is for my ears only. If the Alpha King hears of it, you're dead. Understood?"

I ended the call and discovered that I already had a voicemail from my father. So I put the phone to my ears and played it.

"Son," he began. "There's someone for you to fight very soon. He's the South's

underground fighting champion and one of the only people who fought Dominik and lived to tell the tale. I'll send you details of his profile. Study it and get ready. I've got a lot of money riding on this, so you had better not fail me." The voicenote ended and I quickly checked the details of the man my father spoke about.

Olive Verena.

The more I read about him, the more I realized I would need to step up my game to beat him. He had seventy-two undisputed wins and I had just sixty-three. Meanwhile, Theon had a hundred and twelve but he was retired.

If anything, my brother was well suited to fight this man and win. I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck. I have to do this. I've always wanted to leave my brother's shadow and this is it. This is my opportunity to step out from under him and make a name for myself. This is an opportunity to impress Dad. But why do I want to? I asked myself as I sat on the bed and thought of Theon's words.

He was right. I never once blamed my father for anything. He was always right and I was always wrong and things have been that way for so long that, I don't know how to turn back now. Not when I needed his help to bring Dominic to his knees. Not when a part of me still That's all I want. For him to finally look at me the same way he looks at my twin. My brother can destroy one of his most expensive antique cars and kill his entourage and yet my father would still respect him and speak highly of him.

But me?

I can't even reject his special diet without risking falling lower in his eyes. Gods! Where did I fucking go wrong? Why am I the lesser twin, forced to struggle twice as hard to be just as good enough?

What is so special about my brother that he commands everyone's respect everytime?

I let my head fall into my hands and then I made a decision.

I will defeat Dominic and I will bring back the justice my sister deserves. If at the end of it all, my father still doesn't think I'm worthy, then I'm going to kill him.
