THEON
There she was, sitting pretty in my shirt. Her eyes, the color of storms.
She stared at me and in order not to get lost in those eyes againb, I forced myself to look away.
! I was never one to look at a woman twice so what's different about Ryn? Why is it so easy to stare at her? No. It's easy to stare at anyone but with Ryn, why is it so hard to look away? Heaving a sigh, I strolled into the kitchen and asked for a bottle of water. Ryn glanced at Miro who didn't seem the least bit surprised nor worried as he went to the fridge and procured the bottle. "Are you okay?" She asked, her tone laced with concern. "And is that blood?"
"What else would it be, Ryn?" I answered as I collected the bottle of water from my brother.
Her eyes widened before she swallowed. "I don't know. Ketchup, perhaps."
I almost smiled. Instead, I uncapped my bottle and gulped down the water within seconds. Due to the side effects of my medication, I occasionally suffered from extreme thirst and had to continually stay hydrated until I was fully healed. Deciding it was time to shower and change, I headed for the exit. "You said I have been unconscious for five days?" Ryn asked, stopping me in

tracks.
"Yes." I turned around and shoved my hands in my pockets.
"Gods!" She held her head in her hands, and I could see her forehead crease with worry. "I've missed school, training, and my job!"
"I made a call to your school. You will be allowed to write exams as soon as you come back. As for training, don't worry. We'll help you catch up."
Ryn sighed a breath of relief. "Thank you." She bowed her head. I nodded and was about to leave when she spoke again. "Any news about my job?"
"You still want to work there? After everything you've been through?" Miro asked, and I could detect the anger in his tone. He glared at Ryn and shook his head as he went back to his meal Ryn looked down at her fingers and from the frowned, I could tell she was sad. way she
"Given the circumstances, it's not safe to work there, Ryn." I said. "But I'll speak to Tim to pay you for the work you've done. so far plus your money is still safe in your bag."
Ryn's expression brightened a little. "Thank you." She said and then I left, up the stairs and straight into the shower. Due to the dried blood on my body, I turned the water up to a higher temperature and as I watched the blood wash away from my body, going down the drain, I thought about her. If it weren't for Ryn, I wouldn't have been here. In fact, the healers were amazed that Ryn was still alive despite the trauma she suffered. I remembered the words of Healer Kwan, 'The impact of her injuries is enough to kill a full blooded Alpha Ryn is a lucky girl?
The moment I got out of the shower, I went to my wardrobe to pick out something to wear. My eyes fell on a flannel shirt similar to the one Ryn was wearing and I remembered how good she looked in my shirt. I was ablout to smile, then I frowned.
I can't be doing this. I can't be fantasizing about my trainee. It's improper and inappropriate and...private. No one has to know and it's not like I will ever act on it. I sighed and snagged a white T-shirt instead. I need to get a hold of myself, avoid her and stop whatever it is brewing within me. Paired with a grey sweatpant, I left my bedroom and the moment I closed the door, I saw Ryn coming down the hall.

She slowed down as she saw me and looked around as if she was not sure if she went down the right hallway. I didn't make a move and she didn't either as we stared into each other's eyes. Shit! I looked away.

s. I do that when I'm at home."
She nodded slowly. "It suits you."
Our eyes met again and this time, she looked relaxed instead of tense and guarded.
"Off to bed?"
My brows gained and she nodded.
"I got dizzy

"Yeah, it happened a couple of times today." She shrugged.
The words were barely out of her mouth, when I brought out my phone and speed dialled my Healer.

"Your Highness, it's expected. She suffered a head injury. She will get dizzy from time to time, just make her take her medication."
"I still want you to check her."
"Your Highness, it's almost midnight and this is my day off."
I frowned.
"I don't care. You have an hour and I better see you here." I ended the call and shoved my When I turned, I found Ryn shifting her eyes to me.
"You really didn't have to do all that, Your Highness. I'm fine." She nodded reassuringly.
"I know." I shifted on my feet, looking everywhere but her.. "Just wanted to make sure you're fine."
Her forehead creased. "I really don't want to bother y-

Silence
settled upon us and this time, as we stared at each other, my wolf stirred, prompting me to get closer, to sniff her out and know just what she smells like. Something moved behind her and when I raised my eyes, I found my brother standing at the end of the hallway, with his hands in his slacks. "We need to talk." He mindlinked me.
"I'll meet you downstairs." I replied. Ryn, following my gaze, turned around and when my brother's eyes shifted to her, I felt our bond heat up. He gave her a stone cold look before walking away.
"You should go." I said to Ryn and when she turned around, she looked troubled. "I'll call for you when the Healer arrives."

"Yes, your Highness." She bowed and I watched her walk into her room.
Heaving out a heavy breath, I went downstairs and found my brother standing outside on the balcony, with a glass of wine while staring at the full moon. I went and stood by his side, staring at the sky as well while a gentle breeze blew through my hair. "What's up?
"You're getting too close to her." Miro answered.
at know what about."
"Seriously?" Miro turned to me. "I see the way you two stare at each other. Only a fool won't figure out you have a thing for her and she, for you."
I thought about his words. Since when did the tables turn? Wasn't I the one scolding Miro for getting too close to Ryn the other time?
I sighed. "You're right. I'll end it."
"Better." Miro turned back to face the sky. "Because Father just summoned both you and Ryn to a council meeting
tomorrow."
I turned to him sharply. "Why?"
"You're seriously asking me that?" He raised a brow. "Word on the street is that Alpha Eric has gone missing and the last person he saw was you. So I'm going to ask you," He said as he turned to me, shoving his hands in his pockets. "What did you do?"
