Warrior 129

MIRO

Dressed in a leather jacket, dark jeans and dark sunglasses, I stood at the fourth-floor window of a public library watching Ryn. Before she got her car, her sadness was harrowing. Despite the fact that she hid it well behind a cool, nonchalant mask, those eyes of hers reflected her soul.

I found myself suddenly feeling sorry for her and even eager for her car to arrive, and when it did, her face was my focus. I think at some point; she thought it was Sadie's until Mr. Cresswell dangled the keys in her face and she cried.

Everyone else around her watched on, in either admiration, jealousy or confusion. I smiled to myself, feeling somewhat proud, then I paused, catching my smile and killing it.

Since when did Ryn's happiness correlate with mine?

I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I can't get carried away with this nice act. I am simply trying to do what is right. It doesn't mean anything.

My wolf stirred in delight emphasizing that it does mean something.

Shit. Is this how my twin always felt whenever he did something nice for her? Does he get all warm and fuzzy on the inside?

I saw Mr. Cresswell cross the road, ignoring the press trying to get an answer out of him. I wondered when Ryn became press famous. I bet it has something to do with that Billie video trending on social media. I watched it and I didn't find it to be genuine. The girl kept looking outside the camera as if someone was there, as if she was prompted to do the video.

Eventually, I'd still need to get to the bottom of things and put a stop to it because that's what Theon would have done.

The door to the floor I was in, opened and in came Mr. Cresswell. Coming to stand beside me, he shoved his hands in his pockets. Downstairs, I saw Ryn taking a picture with an elderly man and a lady, grinning from ear to ear. "Who are they?" I asked.

"That's the Janitor and the school's cook, they both were there for Ryn during her dark times."

"Ahhh. I see. It's fitting, considering she's an orphan."
