Chapter 88 THEON

My brother blinked down at me like I had just spoken a foreign language. Then his features hardened before checking the wall clock.

"Look at the time, Brother." He said, pointing to the timepiece. "It's two twenty-five in the morning. Where else will she be if not in her bed?"

I sighed, bending forward to place the glass cup on the table. When I sat back, I looked at him, "I'm asking because her body spray all over this place....and even on you."

Miro swallowed, his eyes shifting from me to the furniture. "Well, she was a little bit sick so I had to carry her to her room."

I perked up. "Ryn was sick?"

Before he could answer, I was already on my feet, heading for the stairs.

Why did I not feel her? Could it be because she's on her period? Or because I was too far away?

"She's sleeping!" Miro called after me but I was already at the top of the landing, determined to see her.

"Did you call the doctor?" I mindlinked my brother as I journeyed down the hallway to her room.

No. She didn't want me to."

"Why?"

"I don't know, okay. Maybe you should ask her." His voice came back a little sharp.

I shook my head in frustration and when I got to Ryn's room, I took a deep breath and knocked. When I got no answer, I slowly turned the knob and went in. The first thing I saw were the curtains of her room billowing softly with the early morning breeze.

Then I found her in bed, sleeping on her back, facing up. Her right hand was tucked under a pillow, her long black hair forming a halo underneath her head. Her face was turned towards me, slightly hidden in her hair and in the dark, partially illuminated by moonlight, and bi I wanted to touch her but I curled my hands, holding myself back..
