The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna by RYN

Chapter 48

RYN

I should be terrified, but I'm not.

Instead, I felt aroused. I felt like that was what I was thirsty for.

"Ryn." Theon called in his deep, raspy voice and it only seemed to add fuel to the fire burning me from the inside. I blinked and realized that I was halfway across the kitchen towards him. My nipples tightened painfully and I began to pant like I had run a thousand miles. Theon raised his hand as if to tell me to stay where I am. "This is not you, Ryn." He said. "You're under the spell of the Moonstone."

I swallowed, licking my lips. I understood what he said perfectly but my brain and body did not seem to register what he said. Still, I willed myself to stop but instead, I took another strained step forward. "Why?" I whispered, as I dragged the knife across the surface of the kitchen island.

"Why what, Ryn?" He asked, as his eyes flickered from the knife to my boobs which naturally used to bulge from my tank top due to them being on the large size.

"Why didn't you tell me that I was using your lifeforce?"

Theon's eyes narrowed as he watched me. "I didn't think it was important for you to know."

I scoffed, feeling anger and lust rise in my bones. "You didn't think it was important for me to know that whoever wears a moonstone will be sexually attracted to the life force giver? No," I cocked my head to the side in thought, gripping the knife tighter. "... research said the person would have an insatiable lust and desire for the giver of their lifeforce. Care to explain that?"

Theon sighed. "It's a side effect of the Moonstone, yes, but it wasn't that way for every person. I did my research, Ryn. Insatiable lust is a side effect pertaining to mates."

I blinked at him in surprise.

"Relax," He said, "I already found my mate years ago. You're not mine."
