Chapter 160

RYN

The wind blew my hair behind me as Iran as best as I could in the direction of Alpha Jack

The attack of my leg hadn’t fully healed yet, so it was more of a half limp, half run, and as he got farther away towards a car parked in the distance. I began to panic.

I can’t fail in this mission. I had one job, and that was to sectire iny inheritance and keep Jack captive so he could be taken into custody.

Now, El’s in trouble. It’s becoming known that I am actively involved with mutants and I have no idea if Theon and Miro will even let us go at all.

All this can’t be for nothing!

I pumped my aching legs faster, hoping to meet up with Alpha Jack who had reached his car and opened his car door.

Suddenly, something whooshed past me, and before I knew it, I saw Theon rip off Alpha Jack’s door before yanking him out

In a flash, he had the man pinned against the side of his car, with one forearm against his throat.

I got there in time, a bit out of breath and still okay.

“What are you doing?! You’re supposed to be protecting me!” Jack struggled.

“Well, how am I supposed to do that when you’re trying to run away?” Theon replied cooly.

“I need to leave as soon as possible. It’s a matter of national security!”

Theon scoffed. “Yeah, sure. As soon as you hand over all the documents pertaining to Ryn’s inheritance.”

Alpha Jack glared at Theon. “I can’t do that.”

“Why not?” I asked, my voice shaking with anger. “Why won’t you give me what’s rightfully mine?!”

Jack rolled his eyes, and the act infuriated me so badly that I kicked his shin.

“You fucking bitch!” He growled, trying to struggle out of Theon’s hold, but my mate kept him pinned. “You will never have that inheritance!” His eyes gleamed mischievously.
