The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 

MIRO 

Dressed in a leather jacket, dark jeans and dark sunglasses, I stood at the fourth–floor window of a public library watching Ryn. Before she got her car, her sadness was harrowing. Despite the fact that she hid it well behind a cool, nonchalant mask, those eyes of hers reflected her soul. 

I found myself suddenly feeling sorry for her and even eager for her car to arrive, and when it did, her face was my focus. I think at some point; she thought it was Sadie’s until Mr. Cresswell dangled the keys in her face and she cried. 

Everyone else around her watched on, in either admiration, jealousy or confusion. I smiled to myself, feeling somewhat proud, then I paused, catching my smile and killing it. 

Since when did Ryn’s happiness correlate with mine? 

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I can’t get carried away with this nice act. I am simply trying to do what is right. It doesn’t mean anything. 

My wolf stirred in delight emphasizing that it does mean something. 

Shit. Is this how my twin always felt whenever he did something nice for her? Does he get all warm and fuzzy on the inside? 

I saw Mr. Cresswell cross the road, ignoring the press trying to get an answer out of him. I wondered when Ryn became press famous. I bet it has something to do with that Billie video trending on social media. I watched it and I didn’t find it to be genuine. The girl kept looking outside the camera as if someone was there, as if she was prompted to do the video.

Eventually, I’d still need to get to the bottom of things and put a stop to it because that’s what Theon would have done. 

The door to the floor I was in, opened and in came Mr. Cresswell. Coming to stand beside me, he shoved his hands in his pockets. Downstairs, I saw Ryn taking a picture with an elderly man and a lady, grinning from ear to ear. 

“Who are they?” I asked. 

“That’s the Janitor and the school’s cook, they both were there for Ryn during her dark times.” 

“Ahhh. I see. It’s fitting, considering she’s an orphan.” 

“And where do 

you 

come in?” 

“What?” I turned to my aunt’s husband, my hands in my pockets 

“Where do you come in, in all of this?” 

“Consider me an anonymous benefactor. Standing in the shadows, making people smile.” I answer sarcastically. 

“Your father will be pissed if he hears of this.” 

A tired breath suddenly left me. “That’s why I made you pretend it was you who got her the car.” 

“Your father will still ask me questions.” 

I turned to face him. “Is there going to be a problem?” 

He watched me in amusement. “No, but I’m curious. Why did you get her a car? I thought you hated her?” 

My chest rose and fell as I exhaled. “My brother already had it pre–arranged but since he’s under a spell, he’d cancel it and I know if he were in his right senses, he’d see this through. So I put it on my tab. I’m basically doing it for him, not for her.”

Chapter 129 

“Is that so?”

A muscle in my jaw tightened. “Very much so.” I answered through my teeth, turning back to the scenery. “Besides, I never thought a day would come where I’d prefer Ryn to someone else for my brother.” 

“Is the new girl that bad?” 

I scoffed. “She’s obnoxious. She has Theon so tightly under her spell that he almost beat my ass this morning.” 

“Okay, that’s bad.” 

“Told ya.” 

“Do you have any idea what she used on him?” Mr. Cresswell asked, and I shook my head. 

“All I know is his eyes shimmer pink sometimes.” 

“Ahhh. That’s an aphrodisiac.” He said, and I turned to him, paying attention fully. “There are different types though. You need to find the one she used. When you do that, let me know. I’ll help you find the cure.” 

My brows furrowed as I stared at him. “I already have Healer Kwan on it.” 

“Healer Kwan can’t do anything for you. This is high level Alchemy. I am a scientist. Let me help you.” 

“Why?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “Not that I don’t appreciate the gesture, but why are you helping?” 

Mr. Cresswell sighed and looked down at the event going on. “Without Theon, Ryn will fail. I simply want to level the playing field.” 

Could this be a test? “I never said I was on Ryn’s side. I just want my brother free.” 

“Of course.” Mr. Cresswell replied. Then he laid a hand on my shoulder. “There is so much you don’t know and so much that I regret. I know you’re pretending with the Circle. I am too.” 

My head snapped to him and he smiled. “It’s true Ryn is a threat to us all, including me and if Ryn eventually finds out who she is and comes for us all, I am hoping she will remember the good.” 

I blinked at him. “That’s why you’re encouraging her friendship with Sadie.” 

“She wouldn’t want to kill her best friend’s parents, would she?” 

I frowned. “Aunt Lydia is involved too?” 

Mr. Cresswell for the first time looked bothered and weary. “Like I said earlier, there is much you don’t know. We all did terrible things and I wish I had done the right thing back then but I didn’t and If Ryn comes for me, she will be justified.” 

Now, I am bothered. “What did you people do?” 

Mr. Cresswell looked away, his hand leaving my shoulder. “I can say. We all swore an oath that day and it’s binding. Just follow the clues whenever you see them. You will find out the truth. In the meantime, Theon needs our help. We can’t let your father win.” 

-I sighed and nodded and after he left; I continued to watch Ryn until she entered the car with Sadie in the driver’s seat. 

Whatever is going on shows that Ryn is not guilty, and my father and his cohorts are the ones responsible. I need to be there for her as well as for my brother. Now more than ever, Theon needs me. He’s been taking care of me all this while, and now it’s my turn. 

I will find the antidote, but first Ryn needs to know what’s going on.
