Chapter 45 MIRO

I hate her.

I hate the way I felt somewhat relieved when she made it in time to class.

!

I hate the way I felt when I saw her in critical condition at the clinic just this morning.

I hate how despite everything I said about my brother, she still felt the need to run out and meet him.

And now? I hate how her sassiness turns me on.

"Have I not warned you about this nasty attitude of yours?" I snarled as my hand tightened around her throat. Immediately, her eyes went round in fear and it reminded me of how Coach Dutton used to treat her. Instantly, I stepped away from her like she was a plague, leaving her flustered and me, breathless. As much as I'd like to teach. Ryn a lesson, the last thing I want was to traumatize her.

What t

the hell is wrong with me today and why am I suddenly so aggressive?

Ryn touched her throat and swallowed before running her hand through her silk, black hair. "Well," She sighed, "I tend to be nasty to people who aren't nice to me."

Hooked at her before breathing out a laugh. "Your smart mouth is definitely going to get you in trouble some day."

"Some day, but not today." She replied and I blinked in surprise. That used to be my saying.

As she she bent down to to pick her books, I suddenly felt bad and decided to help but then I noticed something. Sliding a finger across the back of her neck, Ryn shivered and moved away from me. Steadying her books in her arms, she gave me a stern look. "What are you doing?" She frowned. "How the hell did you get a Moonstone?"

Her hand automatically went to her neck as she glared at me. "It's none of your business."

I closed my eyes, and sucked my teeth as I closed the distance between us. "Ryn." I said, finally looking into her eyes. "There are times I can take your sassiness and bu***it, right now is not one of them, so don't test me. Where did Moonstone?" Ryn swallowed and I could see some fear in her gaze as she assessed me, "I was instructed not to tell you get that anyone."

"I don't f***ng care who said what. As an Elite in training, it's against the rules for you to use an enhancement to perform. I can easily go to the Director right now and tell him and you'd be out of here before you know it. So I will give you one-last f****ng chance. Who f***g gave you that?"
