Chapter 170

RYN

“Your Highness, she just stabbed me. An Alpha!” Alpha Jack bellowed. “That’s a crime punishable by death!”

Theon’s gaze fell on his father’s claws dug deep into my arm and instantly, the Alpha King let me go. I gripped my arm in pain, trying to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. In a flash, Theon was by my side and I raised my head to see him bring out a white handkerchief and delicately wrap it around my wound

“Wait for me upstairs. Got it?” He said and I stared into his eyes before nodding. Theon then stepped aside for me to leave but I paused when Alpha Jack stepped forward.

“Your Highness, I’m not done with her!” Alpha Jack stated, his face twisted in anger as he turned to the Alpha King.

“He’s right” Theon’s father stated. “She hurt him. She deserves to be punished.”

A cold drop of sweat ran down my back. Theon turned to him with a scathing glare, and began to crack his knuckles. “Ryn?” He called, without taking his eyes off his father

“Yes, my Prince.” I glanced between them both.

“Go upstairs and wait for me there.” His voice left no room for hesitation and I obeyed instantly.

My legs felt like jelly as I tried to breathe in a room thick with Alpha aura, then my steps slowed when I glanced at Dogon standing away from the commotion, his eyes filled with awful hatred. I matched his stare with one of my own and raised my

chin in defiance.

Without a second glance, I left the room, and I didn’t stop until was back in the office. After that, my confidence left me and I began to pace around

Will Theon really face his father for me?

I checked my wristwatch and realized I had half an hour left before the event started. Sitting down on the sofa, I held my head in my hands and wondered what the hell would happen? What if I truly get arrested for stabbing Alpha Jack? My career and my life will be over

Thirteen minutes later, the door opened and the moment I saw Theon walk through the door, dressed in his crisp white shirt and grey slacks, I rose to my feet. Searching his eyes, I found nothing but cold indifference and I suddenly became wary, wondering if my ex–Alpha said something off about me.

Theon reached behind him and brought out a knife that looked very much like mine. Panic set in, thundering through my heart. What is he going to do? Has he been sent to kill me!

Paralyzed to the spot. I stared up at the big man as he approached, his face unreadable.

He reached out his left hand, and the moment his finger touched my neck, a shiver ran down my spine. His lashes moved as his finger ran down the length of my neck. Instantly, I felt my rupples tighten and my breathing get heavier with anticipation.

His finger curled under my pendant and moonstone amulet, and brought them out of my shirt.

Then he stared at them for a moment, before raising the knife. Like watching an ember come to life, I watched as Theon’s eyes slowly changed color until it came fiery red. In one move, he cut the thumb of his left hand and as it bled, he touched the moonstone with it.

Instantly, it shone, glowing blue and then red and just as it did that, I felt the pain in my stomach disappear and my wolf stretch as she received strength. I felt every muscle, tendon and bone in my body become renewed and I felt the slow

burning desire that I had for him, become a raging storm.

That’s when I realized he just gave me more of his lifeforce.

“H–How?” I asked, breathlessly.

“Healer Kwan stopped me on my way in.” He whispered as if he were lost in another memory. “He told me everything because he’s worried about you”

My heart stuttered “E–Everything?

Theon nodded and in a flash, he had his hand wrapped around my throat. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He queried his fiery eyes burning brighter. Despite the intensity of his anger, I realized he wasn’t obstructing my airway.

“I didn’t want to hurt you.” I stated. “Ever since you got hurt because of me, I couldn’t bear to make you go through that again.”

His red eyes flickered back to blue, “So you endured all that pain? You resorted to a nasty diet and endured all that? For me!”

My voice trembled with the urge to cry but I held myself. “It was the least I could do.”

Theon stared at me for a long moment. “Open your mouth.” He ordered quietly and without hesitation, I obeyed.
