Chapter 47
RYN
Fear seeped into my bones as we ran for dear life towards the path of the fallen tree.
I looked behind me and saw the hug
shadow with the red eyes climb on tree and began to leap from tree to tree.
“HELLLLPPPPP!” Sadie screamed and then she fell. Stopping in ny tracks, I looked up and saw the beast closing in before going back to help Sadie up. In that split second, I was torn between facing my fears which was the beast thus giving Sadie a head start or running for my life to prevent being hospitalized again and getting expelled.
I helped Sadie up and she was able to run away but then the beast landed just a few feet away from me and I found myself unable to move. The closer it stalked
sme, the more intense the itch in my body got.
“Ryn!” I heard Sadie call but I was too fro literally trembled. Closer, and I could see the b
to turn. The urge to shift became so overwhelming that my entire body
face under the moonlight. It wasn’t as deformed looking as the last one. I saw but it was very scary nonetheless. It bared its teeth at me, revealing needle–like canines and my entire body shivered.
I tried to move but it felt like I had lost control of my own body. With a racing heart, I stared up as the beast snarled again until we were standing a few inches apart at eye–level.
Is this it? Is this where I die?
But it did nothing. Just stared at me with those red coals for eyes
Suddenly, multiple shots rang out and the beast jerked in response as something hit it. It looked behind me and let out the biggest roar I had ever heard, making me place my hands on my ears and close my eyes.
By the time I opened them, I saw Prince Theon, shirtless and moving at the speed of light as he went round the beast, slashing it with his claws. His hair, loose from the ribbon usually tying it, flowed behind him and around his face in such a mesmerizing halo. Under the moonlight, he moved with such grace and fluidity that one would think he was born of the night himself.
More men came from behind me, moving to attack the beast as it fought back. Suddenly, I felt bad and was reminded of how I was surrounded as a child and taunted for my wolf form. Someone electrocuted the beast and it whined and just then, its red eyes connected with mine. I took a step forward, not sure why I feel sympathy for a mutant wolf known to cause havoc.
“Ryn!” Sadie called, and stopped beside me, linking her hand with mine. “Are you hurt?”
I vaguely heard her but I was too drawn in by the mutant. Suddenly, someone did something to it, and it growled angrily before swiping its hand, and as a result, multiple men were thrown in the air. In a matter of seconds, the beast freed itself from its attackers and ran away, blending into the night. Men ran after it but instead, Prince Theon stormed towards me, his face twisted in anger.
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” He yelled in my face and I blinked in surprise, finally aware of my surroundings. “YOU THINK THAT’S SOME PUPPY TO PET? OR SOME WOLF TO PLAY WITH?! IT COULD HAVE KILLED YOU!”
All I could do was stare, as Prince Theon yelled at me and lost all form of composure. Tears burned the back of my eyes as I looked away and my face flamed in embarrassment.
“Uncle-” Sadie began.
“Stay out of it!” Theon snapped at her and I felt Sadie hold me tighter as Theon faced me.
“Why do you have such a penchant for drama, Ryn?!” He panted heavily. “Why do you always attract danger?! Why do you

I raised my eyes to his and I felt anger bubble straight from my core. “Then stop saving me! Stop being there all the time! If I perish, then let me perish!” I said, feeling tears run down my face. “Let me diel Let me get expelled! Let my life fall into shambles! If I am such a burden, then why do you fucking care? I breathed heavily as Theon glared at me. “Leave me the fuck alone and let me diel”
I woke up in Sadie’s bed and when I checked the table clock, I realized it was fourty three minutes past two in the morning. I felt warmth on my chest and realized it moonstone necklace. Why was it warm? I glanced at Sadie who was
Dressed in a baby blue tank top and pyjama shorts that could be mistaken for panties, I packed my long hair to one side of my shoulder and sat at Sadie’s desk. I had been using her computer earlier to do research on simulations. Now, I wanted to know about the moonstone.
Searching up the history of Maori and the moonstone, I sat back in the chair and read and the more I read, the more terrified I became. Suddenly feeling thirsty, I left the bedroom and went downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink. As I grabbed a cup and fetched some water from the tap, I began to feel hotter than usual.
I gulped down the glass of water within seconds and fetched another as I didn’t feel quite satiated. Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me and without looking, I dropped the cup in the sink, pulled out a large knife from its rack and turned to face whatever was behind me.
To my surprise, I found Prince Theon standing at the entrance, wearing a light black shirt but his chest was bare and his hair a curly mess.
