The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 113 RYN

TWELVE YEARS AGO TWEL

On a Tuesday night, Billie and I snuck past the guards patrolling Alpha Jack's house and ran into the woods, chuckling and giggling to ourselves.

My parents were attending a dinner party at Alpha Jack's and Billie had suggested that we go into the woods to attend a fun party. She said we'd be hanging out with the cool kids.

When we had gotten far enough, I realized the forest was too dark, only illuminated by the light of the full moon so I got wary of going further.

"I think we should go back." I said.

"Come on, don't be a chicken." Billie teased, "you're not scared of the dark, are you?"

"Well, creepy things lurk in the dark. Miss Angela said that in class."

Billie giggled. "Miss Angela is just trying to scare us. My Dad will never let anything creepy enter his land, I promise." She said, laying her little hand to her chest, before stretching it to me. Trusting my best friend, I smiled and took her hand and together we went deeper into the woods.

Eventually, we found a group of kids sitting on a fallen log around a little fire. I immediately became wary again as I realized that these kids were bigger and older. Even one of them was a known bully. I looked at Billie in worry, but she was smiling at the bully boy who had risen to his feet as was now approaching.

"Hi, Frank." Billie smiled, but the boy was already staring at me.

"Is this her?" He asked, and Billie nodded enthusiastically. I looked from him to her in surprise. I knew Frank to be her crush, but I never knew they spoke of me.

"Nice to meet you, Kathryn." He smiled, towering over me. "Welcome to our party."

hand away Before I could react, his arm was around my shoulder, guiding me further into the clearing while tearing my from Billie's. Within seconds, the other big kids surrounded me. There were five boys and two girls in total, aside from Billie.

In shock,

"So Kathryn." Frank said, still holding me close to his body. "I heard you were special and not like the rest of us." I craned my neck to look at Billie, who looked away nervously. Frank gripped my chin and turned my face back forward. "I'm talking to you. You don't need to look back." He said with a hint of aggression, his face sharpening with "1-I am not special." I replied.

meanness.

Frank frowned. "But that's not what you told Billie. In fact, she told us she saw you shift into your wolf and it was the most awesome thing she had ever seen. She said you were a freak."

I craned my neck backward again and instantly felt pain in my stomach. I doubled over, realizing Frank had just punched me in the tummy. Gripping my stomach, tears came to my eyes as I fell to my knees. Then I felt my hands elongate into long claws, but I curled them so I wouldn't transform.

I told you not to look back!" Frank yelled, beginning to circle me. "Now look at what you made me do! Now I am angry, and the only way to make me happy is if you show me the special s**t you showed Billie. Do you want to make me happy?" 09:57 Sat, Nov 2 Chapter 113

"No!" I yelled and got to my feet to run away, but my Frank gripped my long hair and pulled me back by it. I landed butt first on the ground and crawled back on my hands as he and his friends closed in with predatory smiles.

"Shift into your wolf!" One boy yelled and kicked my leg.

"No! My parents said I shouldn't show anyone."

Frank mimicked my face and my words in a childish manner, making the others laugh. "But you showed Billie."

"Billie's my best friend." I retorted and looked her way. "Right, Billie?"

Frank turned to her with a menacing glare.

She shifted on her feet, nervous and hesitant. "Just show them what you showed me, and they'll leave you alone."

But I told you my pare***id parents!" Frank yelled. "Just show us! It'll be quick, freak!"

"I don't care about your shook

my head, my heart filled with fear. "No." I whimpered.

k's mean face sharpened into a smirk. "Bring me the ***d!"

Frank's

My heart faltered as I didn't understand what a ***d was until someone brought a long, thin, black pole and when Frank pressed a switch on the body, the end of the pole ignited with electricity. Tears streamed down my face as I scurried back in fear. Billie! Help me!" "Billie can't save you." Frank said, before poking me with the prod. Instantly, the most excruciating pain I had ever felt coursed through my body, making all my bones and muscles lock up. I screamed my lungs out and Frank withdrew the pole, only to order someone to cover my mouth and for others to hold me down.

Someone held my right arm and another covered my mouth, two kids held my legs and then I saw Billie rushing towards me. I stretched my hand out to her for help, glad that she was coming to my rescue, but the moment she took my hand, she forced it to the ground, and I think I became too stunned to even fight back.

"What are you doing?" I tried to say, but my voice was m*****ed and then another world of pain coursed through me as Frank pressed the electric p**d to my stomach. I screamed, trying to wiggle out of their hold, and that's when my wolf rose to the surface with a vengeance. What happened after was fuzzy to remember.

All I know is that when I regained consciousness, Frank was dead and some of the other kids were missing a limb. I stood in shock, and when I raised my hands, I discovered they were still elongated in claws and covered with blood. My dress was tattered and splattered with blood as well, and I had no idea what I had done. All I know is that my heart was going at a speed that was too fast for me to catch my breath. Every fiber of my being was curled tight, and I was afraid. So terribly vafraid.

I need Mom and Dad. I thought to myself, but I couldn't move. I knew my wolf was on alert - in place, and not yet gone. Then someone touched me from behind and my reaction was instant. It all happened within seconds. I had intended to jerk their hand off but somehow, my clawed hand flew through the air as I turned and Billie's face was right there. The claw from her neck up her face was swift, and it wasn't until she screamed and fell to the ground, clutching her bleeding face that I realized what I had done.

"Ryn?" someone called, but their voice seemed so far away.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I was paralyzed and I couldn't hear anyone or anything else around me. All I heard was the echo of my own breathing and

the increasing drumming of my heart against my ribcage.

"Ryn." Theon came within my line of vision and I blinked, wondering how I left the forest and was now in an office with people staring at me.

"Ryn, can you hear me?" Theon asked, and I think he touched me but my vision shifted to the ceiling and I realized I was falling. Immediately, my legs left the ground and Theon's face came into focus again. "Everyone, out. Sadie, stay."

From the way I was positioned, I could tell he was carrying me in his arms. Shortly after, I was positioned to sit on the sofa and was now able to see Sadie and Theon look at me with worry. Theon snapped his fingers in my face to call my attention, but I couldn't even react. "I think she is in shock." Sadie said. "Not just that, she's reliving a powerful trauma." Theon's voice echoed, "and if we don't get her out, she could suffer a stroke."

"Moon stars!" Sadie covered her mouth. "Should I get help?"

Theon looked at me and sighed. "There's only one person that can help her." He said and brought out his phone. Dialing a number, he put it to his ear and checked his wristwatch. The ringing stopped and someone picked. "Hey. How soon can you get here?" His eyes connected with mine as he listened. "Yeah. Something came up and Ryn needs your help urgently."
