RYN
Theon lowered further to my chest area and as I threw my head back in ecstasy, anticipating the moment he'll suck my nipples, I felt a sharp pain on my right breast.
I yelped, opening my eyes wide and finding him smirking at me. Looking down at my breast, I found a red mark blossoming there. "What was that for?"
"For hanging up on me this morning." He said, matter-of-factly. "I warned you that I'd find you and punish you for it."
I wanted to protest but his arched brow made me think better of it. I did in fact, had that one coming.
Theon leaned in closer to my neck and kissed it, then he captured my earlobe in his mouth and I closed my eyes in bliss, the sting of his punishment, fading away. "Next time," He whispered in my ear. "I'd bite you where everyone can see. Iwent stiff, not doubting for a second that he'd do it.
Coming back to my face, we kissed again, slowly this time, as if we were savouring each other. Then he broke our kiss, his eyes back to their radiant blue. ""You never told me why you were worried earlier."
"Yea. Just jitters about the event." I replied, kissing him again.
"You sure it's just that?" Another kiss.
"Okay fine." I said, and told him about the bet placed on me.
"Oh. That."
I frowned and placed my hands on his chest, gently pushing him back. "What do you mean by, 'oh, that'?"
Theon rolled his eyes
and by the gods, it was one of the sexiest acts I had ever witnessed of him.
'Stay focused, Ryn.' I mentally kicked myself.
"I might have also placed a bet on you too."
My mouth slacked open. "Wait, what?!" I gaped at him. "When were you going to tell me?"
Theon shrugged and I panicked.
"What if I lose?! What if I am not strong enough?!"
Theon blinked and then his face got serious. His two hands held my face as he stared down at me with softness. "Losing this event is not the end of your career. It's graduating or not that decides that. So, do your best but don't ever feel pressured to win for anyone. You're I stared at him for a moment, before nodding in answer and then something surprising happened. Theon kissed my forehead and pulled me into a hug.

I stiffened for a second, before melting into his embrace.
Like a lifeline, I held on to him and closed my eyes as I found comfort in the warmth of his body and the steady beating of his heart. I wish this man were mine. In fact, I wish we'd stay connected like this forever because tell me why he's so dreamy and perfect? Sadie's words suddenly floated to my mind. "My uncles know how to make any girl feel special."
Fuck. I opened my eyes, willing my desire away.

"There's something I have to tell you, Ryn." Theon said. We pulled apart and I gazed up into his serious face.
"Is this about the antidote?" I asked. A teeny-tiny evil part of me hoped my fantasy about us being linked forever would
come true.
"Sort of, yes." He said but before he could speak further, my phone buzzed.
Wondering who the hell would call, I checked the caller ID to see it was Sadie. I ended the call and turned my phone face down so I could focus my attention on Theon. "You were saying?"
Theon was about to speak again when my phone buzzed again. "You should take that." He said and I sighed as I picked Sadie's call.
"Babe, I'm kinda in the middle of something."
"Ryn!" Sadie whisper-yelled and something about the way her voice quaked, sent my alarm system tingling.
"What's wrong?" I asked, and Theon's face went serious.
"Sorry to bother you but you really need to see this!"
"See what?"
"Please just come back to the office. Now."
Theon stepped back and carried me down and within minutes, we were leaving the chem lab and heading straight for the office. Once we got there, I rushed in and found the people there gathered around a vase of flowers. "What's happening?" I asked, and Theon stepped past me to the flowers.
"This was dropped at the door and we don't know who sent it. It came with a card." Sadie's voice quivered as she pointed to the vase. I went closer, looking at the little white flowers. Still confused, I looked at Theon, and I could see the wiry vein in his temple pulsing as he s "What is it?" I asked, stepping closer to him.
Theon's face twisted in anger as he raised the card to show me. It was a picture of me standing with Sadie in the parking lot of the Academy. My face was marked with a red X and sweat broke out of me as I remembered the previous death threats. "Care to explain what this is?" Theon flipped the card around and I read the words in bold red letters.
"Miss me?" It read. "X marks the LOSER!"
"Have you been getting death threats before?" He queried and my mouth went dry. As I swallowed, fumbling for words to say, Sadie caught our attention.
"Damned stars." She gasped covering her mouth as she stared at something on her phone.

"What is it?" Theon asked, moving closer to her.
"You need to see this." Sadie said to me and I came to stand on the other side of her as the others - Jada, Anita and Tom joined in.
On Sadie's phone, a video was playing and my blood ran cold when I realized who it was. Sadic turned on the volume and I stood rooted to the spot as I watched my childhood friend, Billie daughter of Alpha Jack speak to the camera. She had claw mark scars running from her neck up to half her face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I see you're supporting a certain person named Ryn Ashmore." She swallowed, her eyes darting off camera for a second before coming back again. "Ryn Ashmore used to be my best friend until she did this to my face. My heart ripped to shreds as I watched her point to her scarred, disfigured face.
"Ryn Ashmore," Her voice trembled. "Is a terrible, terrible person and she doesn't deserve to be worshipped." She cried. "She ruined my life and all I need you all to stop supporting her cause if she could do this to me when she didn't have much status, imagine what she'd
