The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

RYN

Breaking into the Elite Force Training Center was harder than I thought but I did it. Luckily for me, it was still raining hard, so it was easier for me to sneak past security into the building without being detected.

Once I was in. I immediately began to search for a place to hide. Due to being rejected by my Alpha, my body was still in shock, making me feel pain and feverish all over. Dripping wet and trembling with chattering teeth. I tried the doors but found them locked. When it dawned on me that I didn't think this through, I sighed in frustration. I was hoping to easily sneak into a classroom, turn on the heater and sleep. Walking from my pack to the training center was roughly six miles and that made me beyond exhausted Dejected I collapsed to the floor, taking deep breaths as I began to feel faint. Tears stung the back of my eyes, as I checked. my wristwatch and realized that I just had a few hours till daybreak. Yet, I still haven't found a place to stay.

Will I then end up sleeping in the hallway? What if security found me and informed the Princes of my break-in? That would put me in a much worse fate.

I

"No." I muttered and struggled to my feet. "I can't let that happen."

With renewed determination, I continued to try doors in the darkness as I went along. Since my bag was heavy, I stashed it under a staircase and went upstairs to see if I could find a room unlocked.

By the time I got to the landing. I was breathing hard and just as I turned a corner, lightning flashed and something caught

my eye.

I immediately froze.

All the hairs behind my neck stood up as I saw red eyes watching me from the end of the hallway.

What in the Goddess' name is that?! I wondered as I slowly took a step back. The eyes seemed to notice that because a low. but threatening growl emanated from it..

Something about it triggered the wolf in me because for the first time in ages I felt the urge to shift, and that has not happened in years. I could only let my wolf to the surface and channel her to grow claws and fangs but I hadn't been able to fully shift in all that time, I took another step back and when another lightning flashed, true fear seeped into my bones. In that second, I saw a beast so hideous goosebumps rippled through my flesh. This beast looked like a wolf standing on two legs but something about it was odd and abnormal...ugly.

A scream threatened to rip out my throat but I covered my mouth and took another step back. When it growled again, a little louder this time, I turned and ran.

Speeding down the stairs, I heard a growl so loud, I felt the banisters shake. Still, I willed my feet to keep running even as 1 heard the THUMP, THUMP, THUMP of the beast coming for me!

I got downstairs and noticed a hallway I hadn't gone to before. Without thinking. I ran for it and soon regretted my decision when I tried doors and found them locked. I looked behind me and saw that the large beast had entered the hallway and had slowed to a crawl. Terrified, I continued to try doors, whimpering and scared out of my mind while it stalked towards me. There had been rumors of deformed beasts terrorizing the country and it was said that they were so powerful that even Alphas couldn't survive them. But it had been years since they were last sighted so nobody was on the lookout for them. 30 Tue, Oct 22 D pter 10 27%2

at I had no idea where I was. Feeling for a switch, I turned on the light and found a flight of stairs leading down. Taking p breath. I quietly went down the stairs and the lower I went, the warmer I began to feel.

tually, I got to the basement and to my utter relief and joy. I discovered I was in the boiler room. This was the perfect to hide as it had all the warmth and privacy I needed. After eavesdropping to make sure no one was around, I slowly I need the door and quickly retrieved my in the basement, I changed my wet clothes, for a dry dress and a sweater my dad owned.

Once again, I felt that terrible ache of sadness shelm me.
