Chapter 106
THEON
Miro saw the footage and when his green eyes landed on me, a cold edge crept into his stare.
"Get your hands off me." He gritted through his teeth.
"Not until you tell me why Ryn is doing this!"
My brother's eyes glowed red and in one move, he shoved me off of him. I staggered back some paces, surprised at his sheer strength. Then I looked at him with new eyes. He seemed more confident, more domineering with an aura that had increasingly become deadly. "I see you've gotten stronger."
He kept mute.
I placed the tablet on the sofa near me, rolling up my sleeves. "Answer me, Ro."
"I'm not a kid, T. Stop usinng your authoritative voice with me. It's high time you start treating me with respect. Especially, considering what I've just done for you."
I paused, contemplating his words. He was right. I acted rashly. When it comes to Ryn, my blood runs hot but it's not an excuse to be
an ass. Shoving my hands in my pockets, I sighed. "Fine. I apologize, but can you explain to me why Ryn is doing what she's not supposed to do?"
Miro's eyes returned back to normal, a look of confusion on his face. "I have no idea why she did that. I didn't teach her that."
I stared at him in surprise. "Eating raw meat with its blood is like giving an adreanline shot to the wolf, Ro. Only a few people know about this. It's not common knowledge." "Wherever she got that info from, it's not me." Miro insisted then he frowned, his eyes shifting in thought.
"What?"
"Nothing." He shook his head.
I felt that sense of irrational rage grip me again. "If there is anything I need to know, you neeed to start talking."
Miro folded his arms across his chest. "It's not my place to tell. She made me promise not to tell you."
I took a step forward, matching my twin's gaze. "Since when did you and Ryn become besties?"
Miro smirked. "Jealous she trusted me over you?"
Me? Jealous? My lips broke into a smile, the kind meant to hide my rage. "Be for real."
"I actually am being for real, T. You're jealous. Admit it." Miro smirk grew sharper. "Despite all the intimacy and the eye fucking, she chose to trust me."
My smile faded when the reality of his words hit me. Why would Ryn trust someone who supposedly hates her? Couldn't she trust me enough to handle whatever the issue was?
I released a heavy breath through my nostrils, "Well, I'm happy for you. Now tell me what she told you."
Miro tsked. "I can't break her trust. I'm not a bad guy."
09:56 Sat,
Chapter 100 +5
I snorted in reply. "Yourcouldn't even care less about her, Ro. Stop deluding yourself"
Miro frowned and it wasn't the kind that came from anger, it seemed like the kind that came from sadness. I wondered what that meant. "You have to talk to her, T. I really can't break her trist. Besides, you shouldn't let me know shit about her, not when I am still bound to Dad's authority and can betray you both at any given time."
I ran a hand through my hair and sighed. How long has Ryn been on the diet? Is she doing this out of desperation or has been manipulating her strength
all this while? I doubt it's the latter because I know my brother would never cover for her. I picked up the tablet and watched Ryn crying by herself, in the office, her shoulders shaking from her sobs as she sat with her head in her hands. Then I frowned. Why can't I feel her? What's going on?
I raised my head and found my brother watching me, his eyes flickered to the tablet and then looked away. "I think you should go. She needs you."
"I can't. Not without the antidote."
"The event will start soon. You should be there for everyone else too."
I closed my eyes, knowing I was fucking up by the minute.
Today's the last day. After that, no more.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Just then, the door opened and in, waltzed Chelsea, beaming to herself as she came in. Her dirty blonde hair had been dyed to black and from the way she dressed in black boots, high waisted jeans and a black crop top, I could tell she was desperate to be Ryn. She had As soon as her lips tried to touch me, I blocked it with the back of my tablet before stepping away from her.
Once she realized what happened, she pouted. "That's no way to treat your wife." She came forward again, trying to hold me and I became purely disgusted. Putting a hand to her forehead, I pushed her back and she staggered, carrying the look of shock on her face. "Are you forgetting something?" I arched a brow.
"If you treat me nice, I'll give it to you."
Suddenly, my wolf came to the surface as I advanced on her. Chelsea, seeing the look on my face, scampered back till the back of her knees hit the sofa and sat down.
"I have done everything you asked, don't fucking play games with me."
Her look of fear instantly narrowed into a coy smile. "You don't have to be all macho with me, baby. That can be saved for the bedroom."
The fuck?
"Antidote! Now!"
"Okay! Okay!" She raised her palms up in surrender, dipping her hand inside her bra. Immediately, I looked away, feeling way more disgusted than I have ever been in my life. "You don't need to bite my head off." She muttered, pulling a piece of paper out of her bra before handing it to me.
Confused, I took it from her and opened the paper -turns out it was a list of ingredients
I took a deep breath, trying to hold up my patience that was starting to thin out. "Where's the antidote, Chelsea?"

09:56 Sat, Nov 2L.
She looked at me innocently, "That's it. I swear."
I shared a glance with Miro who looked displeased. "You mean you didn't prepare it?" he asked.
"I never said I would. I simply gave you the antidote like I promised." She chuckled. "I just didn't tell you what shape it would
come in."
In a flash, I had my hand around her throat, lifting her from the couch and up in the air. She gasped, gripping my wrists for support while kicking and flailing.
"If anything happens to Ryn, I will find all that you love and I will destroy it before I destroy you."
"Theon?" Miro called but I was too focused on Chelsea.
Chelsea gurgled, before choking out. "You are all that I love."
"Theon!" Miro's voice thundered through my head. "Have you forgotten the oath that was made?"
Instantly, I dropped Chelsea and she crashed to the floor. Panting for breath, her reddened face broke into a maniacal smile. "You can't destroy me, baby. You swore a binding oath that you will never hurt me."
I gritted my teeth, grounding my jaw so hard I felt pain. Staring at the list, I looked at her and smiled to myself. If there is anything I'm good at, it's payback and I really look forward to it.
"Fine. How does it work?"
Chelsea gave me a look. "You taught me about herbs and poison. Come on, you should know what to do with the list."
I glared at her.
"Fine." She rolled her eyes, rising to her feet. "Take it to a shaman's store. They should know what to do with it."
Without a word, I grabbed my coat and walked out the door. On my way to the elevator, I heard my name. "T!" Miro called and I turned to see him jogging towards me. "Give me the list. You go be with Ryn."
I frowned, staring at him. "Why?"
"Because it's your duty to be at the event. If you're not, it's going to look very bad for you." He checked his wristwatch. "You still got time. Go. I'll find the antidote."
Surprised but grateful, I handed him the list and we shared a respectful nod before I stepped into the elevator and the doors closed.
Going down, I sighed, rubbing my neck. Then my phone buzzed and I discovered it was a text from the interim coach informing me of my father asking of me. I sent him a text that I was on my way and considered sending a text to Ryn too but decided against it. If after everything I've done, Ryn still can't trust me then we have no business together. She better have a good explanation for going on the diet, and keeping things from me, otherwise we are going to have a serious problem.
