I've f found her. She's safe. I mindlinked my brother, standing with my back to Ryn.

"Noted"

A moment later, his voice came back to me. "Good. The battle's over. I'll join you as soon as I can." Noted ""Prince Miro!"

The moment Ryn's soft voice whispered my name, I closed my eyes, feeling my wolf settle down. It had been restless since I got Ryn's text telling me she was meeting with Maggie and even more restless, when I couldn't reach her anymore after that. Breathless, I turned to face her, staring into those silver orbs that always somehow made me weak in the knees. Then my eyes strayed to her breasts packaged in nothing else but a sports bra. Immediately, I looked away and swallowed. "You good?" I asked, reaching out my hand for her to grab. She took it and I pulled her to her feet. "Yeah. I'm fine." She said. "How did you find me?"

Iblinked, remembering how distraught I became when I got to Peterson Close and found just her bag on the sidewalk. "Theon told someone to tell me you were here and to bring backup. But when I got here, I couldn't find you, so Theon told me the last place he saw you and here we and from the way her bottom lip trembled, I could tell she was pretty shook up. "Thank you for coming in are." said, and

ale.

Oh She the nick of time.

"Of course" I said, and saw her move her hand to her side and that's when my eyes dropped to the bleeding wound on the side of her stomach.

Alarm coursed through me. "You're hurt." I said.

"It's nothing." She shied away as I tried to check her wound.

I gave her a glare. "Let me see it"

Ryn

hesitated for a moment before slowly peeling off her hand from the spot. Gently, I loosened the cloth tied around it. and inspected the wound. There were five puncture wounds in her stomach oozing blood and water and from the way it smelled, it was starting to get infected. "Who did this to you?" "Chelsea

"Ahhh. Makes sense.

"Why does it make sense?" she asked and I felt her body shiver.

!

I took a deep breath and covered her wound, before removing my black, leather jacket to place around her shoulders. "You need to see a Healer immediately. We have some on board. Follow me." I said and turned to leave but she held my wrist, stopping me in my tracks. I looked from her hand to her face and I could see that stubborn defiance blazing in her eyes. "Why does it make sense?"

"First of all, let go of me, Ryn" I said, and she recoiled like she'd been burnt.

"Tin sorry I didn't mean to grab you like that. She stuttered, bowing her head in respect.

"It's fine." I replied. "To answer your question, Chelsea did just not take my brother's rejection ligtuly, she went bonkers."

Ryn's brows pulled together, "She went mad?"

"Yap. Spent seven months at a psych ward and after she was released, she disappeared for a while but when she heard my brother frequented Club Zero, she managed to get a job there as well." "I'm guessing that didn't go over so well with Prince Theon?"

"Not in the slightest. You see, my brother used to be the underground cage fighter at Zero for about three years but the moment he saw her there, he quit and told me to take over."

Ryn winced. That must have hurt her terribly.

"Exactly I sighed. "But she didn't give up. I usually bring home ladies for my pleasure and every single time, she always wanted to be one of them."

"And why eye. "And

didn't you hook up with her?"

Ryn gave me a si shook my head. "Besides it's obvious she wants him, not me and Theon already warned me about her. In fact, he threatened to cut my balls off if I ever brought her in. So thanks, but no thanks"

"I don't do

o crazy girls."

Ryn scoffed. "He won't actually do that."

I looked at at Ryn like she was mad. "And how do you know?"

She suddenly looked unsure. "Because he is... Theon. He's nice." She shrugged.

It was my turn to scoff and shake my head. "It's obvious you've been blinded by my brother's charm."

Ryn

you

frowned and I took a step closer to her, boring into her eyes, "Make no mistake, my brother is no angel. Yes, he can be nice to a fault but he can just as easily become the worst bastard you've ever met. So, when I tell you my brother is capable of some terrible things, better believe he is capable of so much worse, even to me his brother." Ryn looked horrified but then she nodded in understanding. "I guess I understand why Chelsea turned out the way she did I sighed, and took a step back. "Chelsea was already mentally unstable from her past traumas. Meeting my brother just happened to ruin her completely and this is why I am saying this with all love in my heart." I swallowed and licked my lips. "I won't ask you to stay away from my brother anymore. Somehow, our lives are intertwined and there is something about you I still can't figure out but I will ask you, no, implore you to have this at the back of your mind. Always." I paused, watching as Ryn listened with rapt attention. "There is a very high chance that my brother will never have feelings for you. Right now, he's doing what he always does with the girls, showing care, compassion, kindness, all the signals a broken girl will mistake for love. Don't let that be you."

Ryn swallowed and looked at her feet.

"You're smart, funny and kind and I'd hate to see him ruin you before you reach your potential in life. Do you understand?" Ryn raised her head and looked me in the eyes. I could see the hurt and the struggle within them. "Yes, Commander." She replied. "I'm saying this as your friend. That's if you consider me as one

Ryn hesitated, thinking about my words before she nodded and gave me a smile. Then I noticed the sweat on her forehead and the fact that her skin was getting pale. "Seriously, we need to get you checked out."

"Yea I agree." Hyn said and I led her out of the area towards where Healers set up camp, attending to wounded soldiers. On the way, Elites paid salute to me and then they nodded their approval towards Ryn and patted her on the back. At first, Ryn was appalled, then she smiled to herself as the Elites commended her. We got to camp, which was a small tent on the outskirts of the battle scene close to our cars. I discovered that it was already

with the wounded so I asked Ryn to wait outside while I went in to get a Healer for Ryn. By the time I came out, I couldn't find Ryn and it took a few seconds of searching, to find her behind a car vomitting. "Hey!" I yelled, as I rushed to her. "Are you okay!"

58%-

"I'm fine." She said, but when she raised her head, I could tell she had gotten worse. The Healer removed the cloth around her wound and winced.

"How long ago was this?" She asked with alert concern.

"Almost an hour?" Ryn answered. "Why?"

"Yea, why?" I added, folding my arms.

"The wound has already been contaminated but this is just not some random contamination caused by exposure."

My brows pulled together. "What are you saying, Doc?"Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The Healer looked at me solemnly. "I am saying whoever hurt her, intentionally laced their claws with poison and until I find out what it is, it's going to be hard to cure her."
