The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

I have never felt this way before.

For the first time in my life, I don't feel like a loser. I am winning and one step closer to giving women their own dream of becoming strong enough to protect themselves. I wish my parents could see me now I bet they'd be so proud.

After the event, some students had rallied round me to lift me up on their shoulders and carry me around. I thought BI video would have poisoned a lot of minds by now, but to my surprise and delight, it was nice to know I had peop still rooting for me. After a while of carrying me around, the man Mr. Cresswell hired to watch over me, collected me from them and carried me over his shoulders into the building. He had intended to take me to the office but I asked him to drop me in front of the begs locker room so I could find Adam and collect my pendant from him. He gladly obliged and with a a thank you, I turned around and entered the room with a smile. Getting in. I found my colleagues, sitting on benches, removing their socks and getting ready to undress. I also found Coach Collins, standing by, and it seemed he was having a discussion with the boys before I came in. Now, he was silent, glaring at me. I decided to ignore him and focus on who I came to find. While scanning for Adam, I saw the blonde boy from earlier and waved to him and he waved back with a smile. The rest of my collegues on the other hand, didn't seem so accomodating with their expression. Since my phone was upstairs in the office. I wasn't able to reach Adam myself so I ventured further into the locker room and opted to ask the guys. "Has anyone seen Adam?"

"Why? You're f****g him too?" said a grumpy voice and I sighed in frustration, as I recognized it to be Konan. Looking at Collins, I expected him to see the blatant insult and bullying going on but instead, he stood with his arms folded, looking at me like he wanted answers too. Lunar's Wrath! Why is almost every man in this industry hostile to me?

I had been standing near the lockers, with the intent to ask a dark-skinned boy about Adam, but now I shook my head, facing Konan. "This is getting a little old, don't you think?" I asked, with a raised brow, and my lips downturned in a frown. Just admit that despite trying to sabotage a girl, you still ended up a sore loser."

In a flash, Konan fired from the seat, storming towards me and I dropped my arms, curled my hands into fists and raised my chin to his face. I am tired of being insulted and injured based on some silly boy's insecurities. I am the winner now and with the way my wolf stayed on the edge of my consciousness, if Konan tries shit, I swear to the gods, we will both beat his a Konan's hot breath fanned my face, his nose scrunched up in anger. "You didn't win. You cheated. You want to tell me the Princes didn't give you some tips?"

"Oh, shut up!" I replied, absolutely disgusted and fed up with the nonsense. "Like it's my ***y that won me the first test after you pushed me down and tried to kill me. It's my **p*y that got me going when ONE OF YOU," I pointed to the room in a sweeping arc, "tried to BLIND ME in the event!" S they coul couldn't meet my eyes anymore, and looked away. I faced Konan, lowering my voice "It's my p****y that fought Adam Blackwell and f***king won. If that's what will make you sleep at night," I smiled. "Then by all means be my guest. It still doesn't change the fact that you," I rose on my toes to match his height, are a sore looooserere." Konan cried out in frustration and the next thing I knew, he raised his fist. At first, I thought he intended to hit me but time slowed again and I saw that the trajectory of his hand was actually going behind me. In a blink, time became normal and my hair flew back as his fist punched through the locker door behind me.

My smile grew wider as I maintained eye contact, and his eyes glowed red as he fumed down at me.

"Careful." I whispered. "Everyone might find out what you are.”

In a blink, his eyes were back to normal and he grabbed his things and left. As I watched him leave, my eyes cut to Coach Collins who continued to glare at me with hatred, and I maintained his glare with one of my own. I thought he'd be a good coach like Adam but he's just an asshole unworthy of my respect.

You don't deserve to be among us." He stated, quietly.

I folded my arms, matching his stance. "Says who?"

"Says the girl whose life you ruined!" He raised his voice.

Billie.

Her video knocked me off my peg, my confidence faltering. "You don't know the whole story." I replied.

"Oh yeah? So what's your excuse?" Theld

I held my tongue. How could I defend the fact that I became something so monstrous that I murdered a kid and cr***led several others at age seven? How could I let the world know that Ryn is different and not like the others? That Ryn is something Ryn doesn't even know?

I chose to remain mute and Collins mistook that for me being guilty.

He scoffed, looking at the others. "She has nothing to say. She's just as Konan described." He looked at me. "Every single man here worked to attain their heights. They..." He pointed their way, "are the true Elites. Not you. You're just a w**re who slept her way to the top." "I didn't sleep with anybody!" I hissed, feeling the urge to cry but swallowing that shit. "Liar! No girl can live with the Princes and not get the Windermere experience." He smirked, looking at me from head to toe in a predatory way. "And I must say, with that body, and that face? The Princes and even Adam would be fools not to have f****d you good." "Want to repeat that to my face?"

My

head snapped to the entrance and the temperature in the room dropped when I found Theon leaning against the door frame, checking his nails which slowly grew into long, sharp claws. Behind him was Adam, standing with his arms folded across his chest, glaring at Collins. Collins opened his mouth and closed it. Then he swallowed, his face getting paler by the minute. From my enhanced hearing, I could hear his heart pick up race and that slightly amused me. "Uhm, your Highness." He stuttered, then his voice trailed off. Theon's face was the perfect mask of dangerous beauty, blending with innocence, then he raised his arctic blue eyes - the only indication that he's not an angel but rather a vengeful god wearing human skin.

He sauntered into the room, his large body easily making the space smaller. Like a lazy predator, he approached Collins, and slammed a huge hand on his shoulder. Collins flinched slightly, and I suddenly realized I had never seen Theon and Collins stand together. san Elite, Collins was a big man but next to Theon, he looked like an undernourished beaver.

As

"Everybody out." Theon said quietly, but the aura of his authority filled the room and within seconds, the boys cleared out, leaving Adam. I sighed, about to follow suit. "Wait." Theon said and I paused in my steps. "Come here."

I obeyed and went to him. At this point, Collins was covered in sweat, slightly trembling even though Theon did nothing but lay his hand on his shoulder and stare at him. "Apologize."

Collins looked at me, his face the mask of fear. "I am sorry."

"No." Theon countered. "Go on your f***ing knees and beg."

Collins hesitated, looking to Adam in a silent plea but the Blackwell remained hostile in his demeanour. When he realized, he wasn't getting any help. He licked his lips and slowly sank to his knees before me. He closed his eyes and swallowed. "Please, Miss Ashmore," his voice quivered. "I beg your forgiveness." 13/33

"Do you forgive him. Ryn?" Theon asked, still not looking at me once.

I stared at the man begging at my feet. I could still see the air of arrogance in his stiff pose. "What happens if I don't?"From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Very bad things. Ryn. Starting with the loss of his tongue."

Collins squeezed his eyes shut. "Please," He begged more sincerely this time. 1-4 have a mate and a family.

"How is that my problem?" I asked, unmoved.

Collins sank to the floor, holding my feet. "I beg of you. Miss Ashmore. I take back everything I said. You're not a whore. You earned your place in the Academy. You fought for it and you got it. I was just a bitter man? Please, forgive me." He rested his forehead on the floor and tears stung the back of my eyes. "I forgive you" I said, and before the first tear dropped. I left the room.
