Warrior 154

Chapter 154 THEON

Just like Sadie said, the excuses Ryn gave for leaving were nowhere near satisfactory and even seemed childish.

Still, the letter sat in my pocket, its edges worn from where I'd clenched it too many times.

Ryn's words still echoed in my mind-cold, detached, and so unlike her.

She claimed she'd left of her own will, but every line felt like a scream for help, hidden between carefully chosen words. Miro and I both knew she hadn't written that letter freely. Someone forced her, and we weren't going to stand by while her name was dragged through th Two days later, we were in a bustling city far from home, and went straight to this building which was a massive glass tower housing the TV station hosting Billie's interview.

The plan was simple: stop Billie from airing whatever lies she was planning to spread about Ryn.

The elevator doors opened with a chime to the sixteenth floor, and I stepped into the wide, gleaming lobby. Miro trailed beside me, silent but tense. His usual snark was gone, replaced by the quiet determination we shared when it came to protecting Ryn.

As we approached the reception, I froze, my wolf stirring uneasily, pacing in my chest like it was trying to tell me something.

I looked around, trying to figure it out and even Miro seemed to sense something too.

"Hi. How may I help you?" A cheery voice said and I turned to see the receptionist, looking up at us.

She seemed to realize who we were because she slid a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled.

I tried to pay attention to the uneasy feeling of my wolf but I was already disoriented.

"I need to see Mr. Falcone," I said, low and firm.

The receptionist blinked, her smile faltering as her fingers hovered over the keyboard. "Do you have an appointment?" "No," I replied, my patience already wearing thin, "but it's urgent." "I'm sorry." She gave a nervous smile. "Without an appoint-"

"You do know who we are, right?" I cut in, and she paled on the spot. "Let us in and we won't have to cause any damage."

Miro suddenly stepped up beside me, flashing his best charming grin.

"What my brother was trying to say is that we promise not to take much of his time," he said smoothly. "It's about the interview airing tonight. He'll want to hear this."

Her gaze

She picked up the phone, speaking in hushed tones. Miro nudged my shoulder. "You're scaring her."
