Chapter 187

THEON

Despite Collins apologizing, I fired him on the spot as an Elite 1 as a coach

I knew word would spread of what I had done and I hoped it would be a fucking warning to anyone else who thinks they can come into the Academy to bully Ryn or speak trash of myself and my brother.

I won’t tolerate that nonsense and 1 am happy to make someone an example.

Adam, who had been preoccupied with other things, decided to take back his position as coach and stay for the rest of the tem. Then he gave me something

“Can you please give Ryn her pendant?” He asked. “I forgot to hand it to her.”

Lcollected the item from him and nodded once before leaving the room.

Before going up, I decided I was in the mood to be petty so I went to the office where my father stayed and strolled in.

I was expecting him and his cabal to be in a bad mood, but to my confusion and surprise, I found him toasting a drink with Dutton and Alpha Jack,

When he saw me, his smile widened. “Son, join me. Let’s celebrate?

I stayed put, shoving my hands in my pockets. “What are you celebrating?”

A wicked glint shone in his eyes. “The downfall of Ryn Ashmore

As soon as he said that, I felt the worst kind of sadness envelope me. A sadness so intense, i felt chills in my bones and needles poking my heart..

“Ryn.” I whispered and then I was rushing out of the office and taking the steps three at a time.

Within a few minutes, I entered the space I dedicated to Ryn and found my brother hugging a crying Sadie close to his body.

What the fuck is happening?

“Why are you crying? Where’s Ryn?” I demanded, hoping something terrible hadn’t happened to her.

They glanced at each other before looking at me in confusion.

“She told me you asked to meet downstairs.” Sadie said, sitting up, wiping her face. “Even my Dad was here and Ltold him the same thing.”

1 blinked at her. “I never said that,

Sadie glanced at Miro and then at me. “She was in such a hurry to leave.”

She sniffled and I wondered who hurt my pumpkin. Also, why is my brother pale in the face?

Gods! Can’t something just go right for once? Can’t I just have a moment of peace where I don’t have to worry about anyone.

else?

1 took a deep breath and exhaled.

“You.” I pointed to Sadie. “Why are you crying!”

Her eyes shifted from the to the floor. “I felt guilty for starting a campaign online for Ryn and now it has backfired”

I shared a glance with my brother, not really understanding social media speak.

Miro sighed. “What she’s saying is before the event, she gathered support for Ryn online, but since the Billie video, that support has turned into the worst cyber bullying.”“

Fuck. I remember the last time someone was cyberbullied in my circle. That was way back in college. Within twenty–four hours, he killed himself.

That better not happen to Ryn, or I, will go on a fucking killing spree.

“So, no one knows where Ryn is?” I asked as I pulled out my phone and dialed her line. Miro and Sadie shook their heads, looking worried.

The longer her line rang, the heavier my heart pounded.

This sadness I felt had now morphed into loneliness – the kind that made me feel like jumping off a cliff and sinking into the bottom of the ocean.

She never picked so it went to voicemail.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck

I decided to leave a voicemail for her, and sprinkled in some threats to motivate her to find me.

Idon’t even care about punishing her for ignoring my call. I just want to see her. I want to breathe the same air as her and I swear to the gods, once I find her, I’ll make her sleep in my room.

No kissing. No intimacy whatsoever. I just want to hold my Bunny close to my heart and feel her heartbeat as she sleeps.
