Chapter 88
Chapter 88 THEON
My brother blinked down at me like I had just spoken a foreign language. Then his features hardened before checking the wall clock.
"Look at the time, Brother." He said, pointing to the timepiece. "It's two twenty-five in the morning. Where else will she be if not in her bed?"
I sighed, bending forward to place the glass cup on the table. When I sat back, I looked at him, "I'm asking because her body spray all over this place....and even on you."
Miro swallowed, his eyes shifting from me to the furniture. "Well, she was a little bit sick so I had to carry her to her room."
I perked up. "Ryn was sick?"
Before he could answer, I was already on my feet, heading for the stairs.
Why did I not feel her? Could it be because she's on her period? Or because I was too far away?
"She's sleeping!" Miro called after me but I was already at the top of the landing, determined to see her.
"Did you call the doctor?" I mindlinked my brother as I journeyed down the hallway to her room.
No. She didn't want me to."

"I don't know, okay. Maybe you should ask her." His voice came back a little sharp.
I shook my head in frustration and when I got to Ryn's room, I took a deep breath and knocked. When I got no answer, I slowly turned the knob and went in. The first thing I saw were the curtains of her room billowing softly with the early morning breeze.
Then I found her in bed, sleeping on her back, facing up. Her right hand was tucked under a pillow, her long black hair forming a halo underneath her head. Her face was turned towards me, slightly hidden in her hair and in the dark, partially illuminated by moonlight, and bi I wanted to touch her but I curled my hands, holding myself back..
She was this innocent little bunny sleeping peacefully and I was this big, bad
wolf who only knows how to kill and destroy and cause pain. I don't deserve her. Someone like her doesn't belong with someone like me. That's why this whole Moonstone thing is a sham. It'screating fake feelings between us and before things get too deep, I want it off as Once it's off, I'm sure we'd go back to being strangers.
Satisfied that she was okay, I walked out of the room and went to mine. Then I took a long hot shower to relax my muscles and clear my thoughts.
After Chelsea stated her terms, I set up a meeting with her for a later date and chose to barter the letters for Adam and Viktor. When Viktor found out he was being traded, he tried to fight back but my men overpowered him and together we came back to the Greyhound pa "I thought you were going to betray me." Nicholas had said the moment we handed Viktor to him.
"I thought I would too." I had replied before leaving him standing at the steps of his house.

For Ryn, it seems I'd betray anyone, even myself to save her. I mean wasn't I the same man who told my brother that the part of me that cares for a woman was dead? Yet, here I was, about to make a deal with the devil to save her life. I exited the bathroom, dressed in a boxer and just
about ready to collapse on the bed. Then I found my brother moving around aimlessly, looking through my stuff. He took out one of my perfumes, opened the cap and sprayed it on his wrist. After sniffing it, he nodded to himself and pocketed the bottle. "Last time I checked, that's theft." I said and he turned around to look at me with a smolder.
"And if you let me keep the bottle, I won't tell Dad you went on a secret mission with the Elites."
I paused, staring at his smirking face. "How did you know that? That's top secret."

"And you forget that I am also at the top," He replied, his amusement gone. "We used to do missions together, T. Since when did you decide I was not worthy enough to fight by your side?"
"It's not like that."I began
"Then what is it like?" Miro folded his arms across his chest.
"I did it for Ryn. I needed to find the cure for her injury and I can't tell you shit because.." I motioned to him. "Dad has bound you by authority ton"Cause it seems to me like this Ryn girl is succeeding in breaking us apart."
I rolled my eyes and got into bed. Not this again. "You sound jealous."
"Maybe I am but you can't deny that I am right."
I propped my back against some pillows and sighed. I am too
tired for this shit. "Have you ever stopped to wonder that maybe Ryn is not the problem? Or maybe if Dad hadn't been so hellbent on destroying the poor girl's life, maybe, just maybe, we wouldn't be in this scenario right now?" Miro stared at me in silence.
*You always have this habit of putting the blame on everyone else except him. You blame yourself for how badly he treated you. You blame yourself for what happened to..."I paused and swallowed. "For what happened to Nora. You blame Ryn for how things have gone wr on you to spy on us both." I said.
"He put you on a fucking unhealthy diet and tried to manipulate you to do his bidding. When are you going to realize that Dad is the villain and the moment you stop putting him on a pedestal and
start seeing him for who he truly is, is the day you become free? Cause believe it or not, Ryn can be removed from the equation," I snapped my fingers, "this fast, but newsflash, it still won't bring the peace you're looking for."
Miro stood frozen, staring at the floor and I feared that I may have hurt his feelings.
Just then, I heard a single knock on the door and then another and it sounded more like a pound than a knock.
Miro crossed the room to the door and when he opened it, he stiffened. Someone came in and wrapped her arms around his waist and I was about to get angry that one of his whores was in my room until recognized her as Ryn.
My Ryn?
Anger simmered in my chest, spreading through me like molten lava, ready to erupt at any moment. Instantly, I was out of bed, finding the scene before me entirely strange. Miro slowly turned to me, with her attached to his bosom and gave me an awkward look. Did he not just say stuff about Ryn a couple minutes ago?
"I can explain." Miro began..
"You better." I replied, folding my arms across my chest. "Cause why the fuck is my girl hugging you like that?"
