""What is it? Tell me

"I can't "Miro said with a shrug. "They spoke in code while I was there. They weren't directly talking to me and I couldn't pick up mich before I began my fight."

I took a moment to think and then his last statement raised a question. "Did you have a match at Club Zero?"

Miro sh**ed his gaze from me "No I had a match at Maplebees

1 swallowed as my mouth went dry. The same bar where he got kidnapped. Now his bruised knuckles made sense. He rarely bruised his knuckles at Club Zero because the contenders there were vanilla fighters but at Maple Bees, the fighters there were tough and were mostly hardened criminals taken from deli row hired to make money.

"You only get a match there now if you are fighting on behalf of a well-connected and powerful sponsor. So who hired you?"

Miro looked me dead in the eye. "Dad"

raised a brow, not particularly surprised. "You're a fighter for Dad?"

"Yes" He said smugly. I bet

I bet he had no idea what he just got himself into but I won't rain on his parade. Not now that he don't want my help anymore. "Good luck to you." I smiled before proceeding to leave the room

"He wants you off the Dominic case and me on it." Miro said, stopping me in my tracks. "He knows you will put up a fight and he's prepared for you. Just giving you a heads up."

I left without a word, showered, changed and went downstairs. There, I found Ryn sitting in the waiting area and together we entered the back seat of my car and left the building, Ryn sat quietly, looking out the window while I worked on my phone, replying to business emails and checking on my schedule with my virtual assistant. Apparently, I have been slag***g at work due to the attention I paid to Ryn. and now I am being asked to travel the world to attend board meetings and speaking events. The need to be petty suddenly came over me so I told the virtual assistant to share the workload into two for me and Miro.

She was surprised but she went on to do it regardless, then I emailed his portion to him, writing in the caption, "Since you're a grown man now and you don't need my help anymore, here is the workload for our businesses. Go through them and secure the pending contracts. Do not flop this. They are worth billions."

A minute later I got his email and it was just a thumbs up emoji in it. I scoffed and shook my head. "F**** a**." -What-

Ryn

said and I suddenly remembered she was with me in the car.

"Nothing" I replied.

A beat of silence passed between us before Ryn spoke up again. I have reached out to a house agent. He's helping me find a place, so soon I will be out of your house."

I sighed, trying to hold on to my fleeting patience. Why is everyone choosing to test me today?

"I never asked you to move out, Ryn." I said. "I am not a fool for bringing you into my house."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I didn't say you were, my Prince." She hesitated. "I just don't want you having issues with your brother because of me.

I turned to look at her and felt her sadness before I saw it in her yes. "Why do you care?"

Ryn looked away, facing forward. "Because I know how precious family is. She said, lingering her pendant. "Sometimes, I wish my parents left me a sibling before they died, that way I won't feel so alone in this world."

Again, a wave of deep seated sadness washed over me and I had to take a deep breath to take it all in. How can someone like Ryn be the center of so much chaos? What is so special about he

I sighed and looked out the window. "Call your house agent and cancel on him. You're staying with me until you graduate from the Academy."

"But-"

"Not buts, please." I cut in..

From the corner of my eye, I saw her look at me. "Thank you." She muttered softly..

Just as we were about to reach the Academy, I got a call from one of my captains.

"We may have developed a way to infiltrate the North and get the flower," said the man.

"I'll be right there.

Dropping Ryn a few yards away from the Academy, my driver did a U-turn and soon we were on our way to the other Elite building, which wasn't far

While I began to think up strategies in mind, my phone buzzed with a notification that I had a voicemail, so I checked it out. To my annoyance, it was from Chelsea. I already had her number blacklisted so her call wouldn't be able to reach me but that didn't cover voicemails. I sighed as I decided to play it.

"I

see

you've

decided to move the b***h in." She said. "Tell me, was she able to make your d***k rise like I never could? Does she warm your bed every night now?"

I paused her voicemail. Why doesn't everyone think the only reason I'm with Ryn is to f***k her? Is that the vibe I give off? My wolf stirred at the thought. start with me now, wolfie." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "I am not having sex with Ryn." a's voicemail.

"Don't

My wolf snarled but kept quiet.

I resumed Chelsea's

"Anyway, I am still here with my offer to help save her but this time, I'm going to put a deadline on it. If you don't give in to me in three days, the deal will expire and I will be happy to watch her die in your arms." The voicemail ended and I thought about her words. Chelsea seemed pretty confident that I wouldn't get the cure in time for Ryn. Why? And how did she know my every move?

I decided to add that to the list of things I have to worry about. Eventually, I'd have to tell Ryn that Chelsea was back but before I do, I'd like to hear what my captain has to say. It would be nice for Ryn to hear some good news for once and I prayed to the gods that this time, things go in our favour. Otherwise, it's going to get a lot worse.
