The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

THEON

Gods. It's been so long since I kissed someone.

Despite having other women after my mate, not once did I let myself become vulnerable enough to kiss them. It was strictly transactional until I completely lost sexual interest in women. Now, I am kissing Ryn and I have never felt so good in years.

I took her lips in mine and she was quick to open up and let me in. I wanted more. I wanted to explore her depths till there was nothing left. Frustrated at our height difference, I placed my hands on her tiny waist and carried her up to sit on the kitchen counter. Without a mo I removed the

clothing and flung it on the counter, before grabbing her bod closer. I loved the way her breasts felt against my body, so I grabbed them, loving how soft and full they were. As a result, Ryn let out something between a moan and a groan sending more blood rushing to my c Something in me wanted to cause her pain and pleasure so I gripped her hair and pulled.

She let out

a gasp as her lips became slack and her throat became exposed to me. I kissed her jawline, down to her throat, feeling the urge to leave little bites along. Giving in to my urge, I left bites along her throat and when I heard moans of satisfaction, I came back up to kiss her a Ishould stop. Right here. Right now, but why does she feel so good? Why does she feel like a tall glass of water in a desert? Was I not taking advantage of her?

Before I could think further, Ryn ground her hips against my erection and a soft groan escaped my lips. She did it again and the sudden urge to

rip her pants came over me. When she pulled back from our kiss and was about to pull her tank top over her head, I stopped her. That alone gave me the second I needed to think clearly.

She looked at me through glazed eyes, her lips red and swollen. Why did you stop?" She panted.

"Cause, this is wrong." I muttered, taking several steps away from her.

""What's wrong?'

"Us." I motioned between us. "This. This is not right, Ryn. I am your Director." "Former Director." She answered quickly. "You're not breaking any rules." "Regardless, I am still your Superior and I am way older than you."

"You're twenty-five, I'm nineteen.' She answered, coming down from the counter. "I'm not some kid."

"Please, stay where you are." I pleaded as she took a step forward towards me and I felt her desire reignite again. "Regardless of the circumstances, Ryn, this is not what you want." Her brows pulled together. "And how would you know what I want?"

"Because you're under the effects of the Moonstone. Any feelings you have towards me are not real and I'd hate for you to later come to your senses and regret this night."

Ryn searched my eyes before nodding in understanding. "What about you?" She asked and I frowned.

"What about me?"

Ryn shrugged. "What do you want?"

"What I want doesn't matter, Ryn?"

Ryn took another step forward. "It does. I want to know. Are your feelings towards me real? Or am I just a project to you?"

I paused and swallowed, lost for words. My brother must have said something for her to use that term.

Damn him.

Was Ryn like the other girls? No." So if she's not, what is she to me?

I looked at her and found something dangerous in her eyes.

I found hope the same kind the other girls used to have. Hope that I would fall in love with them.

"Please, say something." Ryn pressed, a little bit of frustration evident in her features. "I need to know why you always save me. Why are you always there for me? Is it because you feel something for me?"

I held her gaze, before answering. "No. I don't feel anything for you."

Ryn blinked in surprise, looking at me with new eyes as she took a step back from me.

"And the reason I am always saving you is because I have a bet with my father."

"I already know about that." She snapped. "If I fail to graduate, women won't be able to join the force forever."

"Not just that." I replied and ran a hand through my hair. "If you fail, Ryn, I will have to do everything my father says and that includes marrying a woman I don't love."

"What?" Ryn's brows pulled together.

I shoved my hands in my pockets and continued to stare into her eyes which now reflected her hurt. "My father has been trying to arrange a wife for me for years now and I have been avoiding it but when your issue came up, he used that as leverage."

"If you manage to graduate," I continued, "my father will no longer be able to control my brother and we get to live our lives the way we want."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"So you both were using me?" Ryn asked, looking at me with disgust that I felt it in my bones.

"Don't take it personal, Ryn. It's just business."

Ryn sighed at first, looking distraught, then she nodded. Instantly, her face, which was the epitome of disbelief, now shifted into a stone cold mask. "Fine. If you want to use me, then I'll use you too." She said, "Since I have to graduate at all costs, teach me everything I nee "You sure you want to stay around me while I do that?" I motioned to the amulet, even though the amount of desire I felt from her had reduced drastically.

Ryn scoffed. "Trust me, you don't seem very attractive to me right now."

I stared at her, wishing I didn't have to be mean to her like that but also knowing it was necessary. If I could get her to hate me, then it'd counteract the effects of the Moonstone just for a while. "Fine. Here's what you need to know."

I arrived in the parking lot of my home just as the sun was beginning to rise and dismissed my security men to rest.

WBD.

Luckily for me, it was a Sunday, so I was glad that I'd get to catch some rest and mull things over before starting the hassle of

a new week.

Riding the elevator, I checked in with the men tracking the beast found at my cousin's house but they had no updates. It seemed like the mutant disappeared into thin air and I remembered what my brother said about mutants either tailing me or Ryn. From the incident that What does a nineteen year old girl have to do with monsters? As far as mutants went, Ryn couldn't possibly be one. She had bloodwork done before joining the program and everything came back normal, so why?

I sighed and reached out to the people in charge of finding the Pheonix flower. They had no updates either and I began to worry about Ryn as the clevator doors opened to the hallway of my penthouse suite.

"What if Ryn truly runs berserk? What if she truly becomes a jealous maniac who starts to kill people around me like Maori's mate? I shook my head. I'd never let her get to that point. I'd do whatever it takes. Even if it meant making her hate me forever.

Getting to the door of my penthouse, I entered the access pin on the door knob. It was a new technology I installed since the incident with my father barging in. Once I got in, I sighed in content and was still contemplating what to drink when I heard the sound of a door closing upstairs.

My brother came to the landing and peeked downstairs and when he saw me, he nodded to himself before heading for the stairs. He had just grey slacks on and was

shirtless as he came down towards me. His face was blank and due to sharing my lifeforce with Ryn, I couldn't feel emotions through our bond from afar until my brother got close enough, that's when I realized he was mad.

My brows pulled together as I asked, "What's wrong?"

"You fucking bastard." He fumed before he reared back and punched me in the face.
