The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 13

RYN

I found myself running through the hallway again, barely able to see but fully aware of the beast behind me. I got to the boiler room and turned the k***b but this time, I found it locked, Panic seized me as I tried it several times but it wouldn't budge. Turning around, I found the beast standing over me with a raised claw, ready to strike! I inhaled sharply as 1 jerked awake in bed, barely able to hear my thoughts over my racing heart. When I realized that I was actually in the boiler room, safe and warm. I sighed in relief. Grabbing my wristwatch, I checked the time and my heart jumped again. "S****t!" I whisper-yelled and shot to my feet. I had just an hour before training starts and I f****g overslept! Within a few minutes, my belongings were packed and I found a safe spot behind an engine to stash them. Grabbing my school bag. I put in some spare clothes, toiletries, and and other my stomach grumbled violently and I doubled over, placing a hand on it as I felt a sharp pain.

Just as I got there things I might need, before heading for the stairs.

When was the last time I ate?

I remembered eating Sadie's sandwich on the bus ride home but that was over twelve hours ago and it wasn't even filling then. I checked my pockets for some money and was disappointed to find just a quarter on me,

"I really need to get a job. I grumbled to myself.

Looking back, I made sure my things were securely out of sight, before climbing the stairs to the exit. When I got to the door, I listened for footsteps before slowly opening it.

Peeking into the hallway, I looked around and then noticed that the floors had been mopped. That meant that the cleaners were around. Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the hallway and tried to act normally. Luckily for me, the cleaners I encountered were working in the classrooms so it was easy for me to dodge them and go on my way.

I turned a corner, about to go for the boys locker room but just I was about a few feet away, someone else turned a corner opposite me. He was dirty blonde, about medium height with an athletic build and seemed to be in his late thirties. I recognized him as the assistant coach and immediately froze. Thankfully, he hadn't seen me...

Coach Dutton was watching something on his phone and had ear pods in place. So I had seconds to move out of sight or get discovered. Quickly, I dashed for the locker room and in that moment, the assistant coach seemed like the beast I dreamt about. With a racing heart. I hoped the locker room was open. invas

And to my relief, it was.

Quickly, I dashed in before quietly closing the door and leaning against it.

Just as I was about to relax, another fear seized me.

What if the a****nt coach was coming here!

I held my breath as his footsteps got close and when they stopped right outside the door, my heart sk****ed a beat. I squeezed my eyes shut, fingering my pendant, and hoping he'd go away. When his footsteps moved farther down the hallway, my shoulders sagged in relief and I finally released the breath I was holding. "That was close." I breathed.

A moment later, I had brushed, freshly showered, and changed to clean clothes.

I stood before a mirror and cleared the fog on it. Looking into my own eyes, I saw a semblance of my parents. I had my father's eyes but carried my mother's face, especially her proud chin. I remembered their promise to never let anything bad happen to me and now it had become a promise to myself.

All my life I had let bad things happen to me, because I was afraid, but not anymore. This time. I'm going to fight back but in order to do that, I have to first understand the problem with my wolf. What did my parents see? Why did my ex-Alpha warn me to keep her on a leash? And why can't I shift? I kept pondering. My parents died finding a cure. My former pack kept it a secret. Something is definitely wrong with me. Staring at myself in the mirror, I searched for answers but they never came. Sighing, I packed the rest of my things, and my stomach grumbled again. ! I'm really hungry.

!

Determined to find that job as soon as I leave the training center, I forgot to listen for footsteps and the moment I opened the door, I bumped into someone.

My heart leapt in my throat when I realized that it was the assistant coach again. His catty green eyes looked from me to the locker room door and back, then his lips lifted in a teasing smirk "What were you doing in there?"

I swallowed as I held his gaze. "I..I thought I would have a locker of my own ready by now, but it seems I haven't been taken into consideration yet."

He stared at me for a moment, his face unreadable. "Your locker is not ready yet, Ryn, but the Commander has ordered for some renovation to be done so in due time, you will get your own space. But that doesn't mean you can just walk anywhere. Ryn. Girls are not allowed in there."

"Oh! Right. Sure. My apologies," I said, thrilled that I had gotten away with that lie, "It won't happen again." I nodded politely and tried to walk past him, but he suddenly stepped in front of me. When I looked up at him, his eyes shone with malice. "Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Has anyone ever told you how pretty you are?".

I looked at

at him, stunned by the directness in his tone. "What?"

He took a step closer but I took a matching step back. "Has anyone told you how much of a beauty you are?" He repeated, a predatory smile plastered on his lips. "The boys can't stop talking about you. They think you're hot... I think you're hot too."

Now, I was afraid. "Uhm, yea...thanks," I said and tried to move past him again, but his huge hand grabbed my arm and roughly pulled me backwards.

Air left my lungs as my back slammed against the wall, and Coach Dutton's hot, heavy breath steamed my face as he sneered at me, "Why are you acting so stuck up?"

"Coach Dutton, what are you doing?!" I panicked.

"I'm just trying to give you a compliment." He gritted out. "But it's like you're arrogant huh? You feel so highly of yourself and can't take compliments right?"

"Let t go of me!" I yelled and, in my bid to struggle out of his grip my nails scraped the flesh of his arm, making him bleed. He let go of me instantly, leaving me breathless but when I tried to run, he grabbed me and slammed me back against the wall. The back of my head connected with the wall and I instantly felt dizzy and weak. His eyes flashed with anger as his arm suddenly shot up to my throat and squeezed viciously. "You stupid bitch!" He snarled.

1 clawed at his arm, as I stuggled to take a breath.

"Please stop" I choked out as a tear fell out of my eyes.

"You think you're better than me huh?! I have the ultimate power here! I can make the Princes kick you off the Program in just a second! So you better behave. Understood?!"

Unable to speak. I nodded and then he let me go.

I fell to the floor, gasping for air and my wolf stirred, raging at me to let her out but I refused. I needed this program to get stronger and to be in a position where no one will ever bully me again. Letting my wolf take over got me expelled and rejected. I can't afford to be rash this time.

Breathing hard, I glared at the assistant coach until he turned a corner, out of sight. "You'll pay for this, Coach Dutton" I said as I struggled to my feet. "I swear on my life, I'll make you pay. SEND GIFT
