Chapter 17

Chapter 17 RYN

I sat alone at the table wondering what was wrong with Prince Theon. Aside from the fact that he looked like he was suffering a stroke, I could sense the tension between him and his brother. It seemed like Miro didn't want Theon telling me anything, and I wondered why.

Shortly after, Miro came out, and his jaws were clenched so tightly that I could see the pulsing vein on the side of his head.

"Get up." He ordered but before I could ask what was wrong, he grabbed me by the arm, drawing me out of my seat.

"What's going on?" I asked, trying to draw back but he held firm and didn't answer. Instead, he continued to move forward, dragging me along with him towards the exit. On our way out, I saw the waitress from earlier watching us and when her eyes fell on the way Miro gripped my arm, her lips curled into a smirk.

One we were outside, I realized there was a car waiting for me but it wasn't the same one I came in.

"Get in." Miro ordered, slightly pushing me forward.

I turned on him. "Where's Prince Theon? What happened to him?"

His gaze hardened. "He's no longer any of your concern. Now get in the car. You'll be taken back to the center." What's going on?"

Miro advanced on me, his eyes suddenly turning pitch black. "I said, get. In the. Car. Kathryn. I won't say it again."

I stared at him in disbelief. Why is he talking to me like this? What did I do wrong?

Raising my chin in defiance, I looked him dead in the eye. "What happened. to. Prince Theon?"

Miro blinked in surprise and for a moment he stepped back, assessing me from head to toe. "He's fine but you need to

leave."

I watched him for a moment before deciding there was no need to drag things out with him, so I got into the car and he closed it behind me. Looking out the window, I searched his face for clues but his green eyes reflected nothing but hostility until I was driven away. Hours later, I was back in the safety of the boiler room, curled into a fetal position as I thought of the events that happened today. First, was the incident with Coach Dutton and now I began to wonder if the Alpha King sent him to do that.
