The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN) novel Chapter 1

RYN

‘You are cursed, you little bitch! Always keep your wolf on a leash or you will regret it!” My pack Alpha had said before throwing me in a dungeon and leaving me to starve for days.

That was years ago.

Now, those words from my past rang at the back of my mind as I waited in line outside an office to submit my application form.

The two princes of the Alpha King had come to my school to recruit final year students for their coveted Elite Warrior program and I was eager to jump on it. At this point in my life, I needed anything that could help me get away from my evil pack and the hell that my life had become.

‘You are cursed.’

I began to feel restless and automatically started fiddling with the crescent-shaped pendant around my neck. It was the last birthday gift I received from my parents before they died in a rogue attack.

A couple of giggles brought me out of my tortured thoughts and when I raised my head to see the source, I immediately rolled my eyes. Bessie Crow - queen bee of Lycantide High had just arrived with her brainless minions and they were standing at a glass window, peeking in on the Princes.

Bessie said something to her friends before flipping her golden blonde hair behind her and entering into the office with a package in her hand. If I could guess right, that package probably contained some store bought cupcakes she’ll pretend to have made just to impress.

Pathetic! I couldn't help the anger swelling within me at the act. Does she really have to embarrass all of womanhood for attention? It's disgusting and yet she keeps doing it.

I bet the Princes are not even that attractive but girls like Bessie like men in positions of power. It's why she's dating the equally brainless Howard Caine who is a quarterback, and the strongest warrior in the school.

I hate them both. I hate Howard even more because he is ten times a pain in my ass!

Just as I thought of the devil, the asshole strolled into the hallway with his own set of minions. Immediately, I pulled my hoodie over my head. The last thing I want is a run in with the guy who takes pleasure in punching me in the stomach.

Today is one of the most important days of my life and I need to be on my A-game. No one must ruin this for me or my life will be over.

Bessie came out, blushing red and giggling like a witch and when her friends told her that her boyfriend was around, she composed herself and passed by me to hug him.

That's good. Hopefully, I will go unnoticed for as long as possible.

“Ryn Ashmore?”

Fuck! I raised my head to see a young woman scanning the crowd for me, so I stood up and approached her quickly. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she checked the paper in her hand. “You're Ryn?”

“Yes!” I nodded, fingering my pendant.

“Hey! You're not supposed to be here, skank!” Howard's voice boomed behind me, but I ignored him.

“You're signing up for the program?” The woman asked and I began to feel myself lose patience.

“Yes. Is there a problem?” I asked just as I heard Howard stomp towards me.

“No. Not at all.” She blinked, then looked behind me. “You can go in.”

I muttered a thank you before rushing through the door and slamming it shut.

“Hey, you have to wait your turn!” I heard the woman tell Howard on the other side and I leaned my forehead against the polished wood, breathing a sigh of relief.

When I came in, I had my back turned to the office, taking deep breaths to calm my wolf. She always comes out when I am being extremely triggered and sadly, I always have to suppress her.

‘Always keep your wolf on a leash or you will regret it!’

Those words haunted me again. I didn’t like doing this to my wolf but I had no choice. It's either that or I lose control and bad things happen when I lose control.

Gaining back my composure, I turned around, and that's when I lost my breath.

The two Princes were just a few feet away from me but they were two of the most beautiful tattooed men I had ever seen. One was seated while the other stood beside him with his arms folded across his chest. They had an aura that reeked of power, dominance and lust. Now, I understood why women go crazy over them. Their presence is to women what catnip is to a cat!

Two pairs of eyes - green and blue - scanned me from head to toe and for a second my wolf stirred and I felt every inch of my skin come alive with warmth.

Good Goddess! These men are dangerous!
