I stared into Theon’s emotionless dark eyes. He didn’t seem like the
This man seemed very different, like he was dug up from the deepest, darkest corners of Theon’s soul.
He reached out to touch me and I couldn’t control the automatic flinch of my body. His hand hung in the air, then he blinked and the darkness gave way to his usual blue.
“Don’t be scared, Ryn. It’s me.” Theon said and instantly, I dropped my knives and hugged him tight. Theon stiffened again but this time, he hugged me back and once again, that familiar feeling of being home enveloped me.
Not wanting to let go, I stayed that way until my racing heart calmed and my trembling body stilled.
When I eventually calmed down, I pulled back and looked at him. His cold, blue eyes drified to my neck and hardened once more. “I’m going to kill Edgar Dutton.” He said, in such a simple tone as if he was saying he was going out for some air.
“Aren’t you going to get in trouble?”
Theon brushed a strand of hair out of my eyes. “I am trouble.” He stated in that same monotonous tone as if he was saying
he was Iron Man
I sighed. Suddenly feeling tired. “I’m sorry I always put you in terrible situations.”
Theon held my chin. “It’s not your fault. Don’t ever blame yourself for his actions. Understood?”
I nodded in answer.
“Now pack your things.”
My brows furrowed. “Why? What do you mean?”
Theon sighed. “It means my father no longer wants to play soft politics.” I still looked confused. “It means as long as you’re in training your life is in danger so in the meantime, you’ll be living with me.”
I opened my mouth to protest and then I remembered I needed to be in close proximity to Theon to feel less pain from my wound, so I closed my mouth and agreed. Half an hour later, I had my bag in the trunk of Prince Theon’s car and together, we left the hostel for good.
As we sat in the back seat of his hummer jeep, the severity of the whole situation dawned on me.
Once a
again, I could have died and it was Dutton’s words that hurt the most.
“No one will investigate your death, you poor orphan girl!”
He was right.
“What are you thinking?” Theon asked, grabbing my attention. “I can sense you’re sad
I planted a fake smile and shook my head. “I’m fine.”
Theon gripped my chin, gently and turned my face to him. When I looked at him, I saw his features twisted in anger. “I don’t appreciate being lied to, Ryn” He said and my heart literally skipped a beat. “Tell me. What are you thinking?” He said, sitting back in his seat, letting my chin go.
I stared out the window and sighed. “I’m thinking of Director Dutton’s words.”
“What did he say to you
I shrugged, brushing the whole situation off for a later time. “Trused to it” I said, still looking out the window. From the corner of my eye, Theon looked at me but I didn’t look his way
As the driver took a turn, I remembered the class schedule for today, “I have to go to the center. They said a time for-”
“Cancelled”
I looked at him and found him typing on his phone.
“Not the test, I mean the session for lod-”
“Cancelled.” He said, without looking up. “Dutton set the impromptu session and since he is currently incapacitated, my brother is in charge and he had agreed to cancel the session for the day.
