Warrior 137

Chapter 137

MIRO

Right from school, Theon had always been the odd one out and when he gets intense about something, others tend to leave him alone which is why the moment he claimed Ryn, the others dispersed and walked away.

Then it was just us, standing amidst others but yet, it felt like we were the only ones in the room. I looked into my brother's eyes and I could see the strain in them. The struggle between hate and recognition. I could tell that by just standing so still, he was fighting demons, a "Where's your...girl?" I mindlinked him.

"In the bathroom."

I nodded. "Are we good or am I going to get another beat down?

Theon sipped his drink. "I am me but not myself at the same time. Just don't say things against Chelsea and I won't get triggered."

I nodded in understanding, and we both turned to look at the party. All around us, women of different sizes, color and ages, oogled at us, standing in groups and gushing to themselves as they gossiped amidst each other.

This always happened everywhere we went and usually by now, I'd be flattered by their attention and scanning for whom to take home tonight but looking at them all, none of them excited me.

They all seemed like a blur of color with only one woman catching my

focus. Ryn.

When I found Ryn watching us across the hall, my heart skipped a beat. There was something in her gaze - a hunger that looked too much like desire, and I wondered. Does Ryn feel what I feel too? Or am I just deluding myself?

Her eyes slid to my brother and the desire in her eyes turned sorrowful. I glanced at Theon and found him watching her too. Looking away, I smiled bitterly to myself.

My wolf sure knows how to pick women who will never belong with me.
