The Twin Alphas Warrior Luna (RYN)

Chapter 42 RYN

Another wave of nausea hit me and I found myself grabbing an empty trashcan to vomit my guts into. Once I was done, I wiped my mouth with a paper towel before laying back in the hospital bed. Breathing was hard.

But

The deeper I inhaled, the more I felt pain across my abdomen and ribs. My head felt woozy and my lungs seemed like they were on fire. Deep down, I knew I was dying but I refused to believe it. There has to be a cure for my ailment and Prince Theon promised to find it. what i t if he doesn't find the cure in time? What if I die before then? What would become of me and my dreams? Will I ever solve the mystery about my birth and why my parents had to find me a cure? Will I never understand why my pack turned against me and why my ex-Alpha warned me to keep my wolf on a leash? I so many questions that required answers so I can't just die a question mark. I need to know who I am and why I am doing all this and if that means getting out of this bed and finding the answers myself, then I'll do it. With deep breaths, I slowly sat up in bed with my feet dangling over. My hair covered my face so I swept it back with one hand. I looked out the window and realized it was already morning. Did Prince Theon not find a cure?

I had

Leased myself off the edge of the bed so my feet could touch the ground. Then I looked around to see if there was something I could hold on to get up but I found none. Another wave of dizziness hit me so I tried to take deep breaths to keep it down while also enduring the pain that came with my burning lungs. "Damn you, Chelsea." "I whispered with my breath.

All

I wanted was sa

*Please Goddess, survive. How was I supposed to know that Prince Theon would be there? How is it my fault that he was fascinated with me?

I whispered, touching my moon shaped pendant. "Please, save me one more time. Don't let me die like this."

I shifted my weight to my feet as I stood up and when I gauged my strength, I decided to take a step forward. In that moment, my knees buckled and my heart jolted as I felt myself falling to the ground. Just when I thought I would fall hard, I felt strong hands wrap around me, pulling me up and when I raised my head, I found eyes as blue as the arctic sea.

"Prince Theon? helping me back to the bed. "What were you trying to do?"

"Hey." He said before

I let my eyes fall to my fingers. "I was... trying to see if I could walk and find the poison myself."

Prince Theon's eyes hardedned. "I told you I'd find it. Did you lose faith in me?"

Those words made our eyes meet again and I could see how his forehead creased in what I could call hurt. For someone who barely showed emotion, this was intense. How could I tell him that I was trying to be my own saviour so I won't have to rely on him anymore? Just then, a short man who seemed to be in his forties walked in and I recognized him as the Healer who checked in on me when I was staying with the Princes. "Healer Kwan?" "Good to see you, Miss Ashunore The doctor replied "1low are you feeling?"

"Like death?" I said, and when I glanced at Theon, I found him staring at me. My face heated up as I looked away.

"That's expected considering your assailant infected you with a Lupine venom."

My brows pulled together. "A what now?"

"A Lupine venom. It's a very rare and ancient type of poison designed to kill the wolf first before the human. Whoever did this to you really wanted you to suffer before you die." I suddenly remembered Chelsea's words. 'If I can't have him, then you certainly won't either.'

That evil b***h.

"Is there a cure?"

Healer Kwan glanced at Prince Theon before facing me. "There is but it's rare. It's called the Pheonix flower but no one has seen it in a hundred years."

My heart began to beat faster, as fear set in, leaving me out of breath. "Does that mean I'm going to die?"

"No. I won't let that happen." Theon stepped forward. "I heard of a place where we can find it, so I have sent my men to go look for it."/

I stared at him for a moment, wondering what I did to deserve such fervent attention from him.

Is t this show he treated the other girls? No wonder, they fell in love with him, but I can't and I won't and as soon as I get well, I will be the first to break his heart. "Thank you." I sighed. "Always." He replied.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The doctor then went ahead to check my vitals and administer some pain killers and after he left, Theon turned to me. "I apologize for what you've been through lately." He said. "You should be focused on being the first female Elite, but you've spent half of your program in the hospital."

I shrugged. "Well, you aren't the one who hit me with a car."

"True but you got hit because you were trying to save me."

We stared at each other for a moment. Why can't I seem to look away? "Look, I was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. If I hadn't been at Club Zero, Alpha Eric wouldn't have found me."

"Actually, there's something else you don't know." Our eyes met as I wondered what. In that moment, Theon swallowed, and then his mask fell revealing the struggle on his face. It was weird to see someone so non-chalant and unaffected have such twisted features of anger, pain and hurt on his face. "It's my fault that you were even on Alpha Eric's radar in the first place." He said, and I wondered how. "Alpha Eric wasn't at the club when you first arrived. Chelsea was the one who called him out of spite."

I blinked in in surprise. "What?"

"She has been helping Alpha Eric kidnap girls from the club and she must have felt threatened by you somehow."

"How do you know this?"

"Alpha Eric told me, after I tortured it out of him."

A cold shiver ran down my spine before I shook my head. "I still don't get it." I said, "I already met Alpha Eric before Chelsea knew I was with you. Why would she want to hurt me before then?"

Theon sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Chelsea already knew about you before you even came to club zero."

My eyes widened, "What?".

"Apparently, after we fired Principal Crow from Lycantide, he went to Club Zero to drink away his sorrows and rant. Chelsea was the girl who attended to him and he told her all about you and how you made me and my brother come to the school. It was easy to put one and two together-" and I assume I was your next girl." I concluded.

Theon nodded. "So it's really my fault."

I thought about everything for a moment before sighing. Suddenly I felt extremely tired. "Regardless, you've saved my life many times now, so we're even."

Theon nodded and shortly after he left.

Hours, I laid back in bed, thinking about everything Theon had said so far. He looked genuinely remorseful and now I was starting to have second thoughts about how I felt about him. Should I really stay away from him? Another wave of nausea hit me and I rushed out of bed to grab the trash can. I began to retch my guts and this time, when I cleaned my mouth with a paper towel, I found blood on it.

I begn to find it hard to breathe so I tried to call for help as my heart hammered faster but no words came. Getting on all fours, I tried to crawl to the door but vision began to go round and round just as my breathing got worse. Just a few feet to the door, and I collapsed to the floor. Still, I stretched my hand towards the door, hoping and praying that someone would find me before I die.
