Chapter 23 THEON
I rushed out of the car just in time to see them make a move for her while Alpha Eric stood at a distance watching with a smug look on his face. Ryn shifted and in one move, she cut through the air and sliced someone on the arm but it was four to one and Ryn was running out of time. "Hey!" I shouted, calling their attention. The men stopped and turned and that gave Ryn enough time to wiggle out their hold and make a run for it.
"Get her!" "Alpha Eric demanded and the men began to run after Ryn. Luckily for her, she sprinted in my direction and when she saw me, she skidded to a stop, her eyes wide with fright..Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Get behind me!" I ordered and instantly she obeyed.
Just then, Alpha Eric and his men approached us and stayed just a few distance away.
"What are you doing, Alpha Eric?" I asked.
"I just want the girl." He said.
"She's not yours!"
"Is she then yours?" Alpha Eric asked with a raised brow.
I c****ed
*ed my head to the side before turning to look at Ryn. "Yes, she is mine." Her eyes glanced at me in surprise before I turned back to Alpha Eric. "She's my student and my Elite and therefore she is under my protection. Do you understand?" Alpha Eric's eyes shifted to Ryn in a glare before pinning them back on me. "She stole from me and she needs to be punished for it."
"What?!" Ryn
exclaimed as I turned to her. "That's b*****it, you liar! I never took shit from you!"
"She took my wristwatch, you can search her."
I sighed and approached Ryn.
"Give me your bag."
She looked at me with pain in her eyes. "I didn't take anything!" She gritted out.
"Give me your bag Ryn."
She removed her backpack angrily and gave it to me. I unzipped it and when I dipped my hand in, the first thing I brought out was a golden rolex.
Alpha Eric's eyes glistened. "You see?! I told you! She's a thief!".
I turned to Ryn whose eyes watered. "I didn't do it, your Highness. Please believe me!"
I threw Alpha Eric's wrist watch back to him and he caught it. "Ryn will be punished accordingly." I said.
"Yes. That's why she needs to come with me." Alpha Eric countered.
"No. She stays with me, her Commander." I said, feeling a cough scratch my throat. "Now, leave."
I had expected Alpha Eric and his men to retreat back to their vehicles but instead, to my great surprise, they channeled

their wolves and bared their teeth against my men and I.
"Think about what you're doing, Alpha Eric." I said, letting my hands grow into claws. "Are you really going to fight against
the Crown Prince?"

I could see the hesitation on Eric's face, then his eyes turned yellow before he charged for me. Within seconds, a battle began between us and since I didn't want to leave dead bodies I ordered my men to knock them out. In a matter of minutes, Alpha Eric's men were immobilized and when he saw this, he ran Immediately, I chased after him but somehow he eluded me on the second street.
Just as I stood in the middle of the road, wondering how he disappeared, a coughing fit took hold of me and I bent over, wheezing and coughing into my handkerchief.
My P
Prince!"
I turned in time to see Ryn come at me with her hands aimed for my body. Next thing I knew, I was being pushed out of the road just as a blinding white light occurred. Every other thing happened within split seconds! The screech of a car, Ryn being hit by a vehicle, her body thrown in the air on impact and then landing with a sickening crack as the vehicle zoomed off.
I stood frozen as I watched Ryn's still form crumpled on the asphalt road and for a minute, all I could hear was the sound of my own heart working overtime. "Ryn." I whispered before rushing towards her body. The moment I got there, I found her in a pool of blood and when I went to check her pulse, I found my hands shaking. Thankfully there was a pulse but unfortunately it was too faint. "No.' I said out loud, feeling my heart thunder through my chest.
"Your Highness!" My men rushed to me, asking if I was okay.
"I'm fine. Bring the car around. Notify Healer Kwan to get ready
They bowed and left while two stayed with us. Just then, Ryn coughed, drawing my attention. To my horror, I saw blood streaming out of her mouth and it reminded me of my own health condition. If Ryn hadn't pushed me out of the way, I could have been seriously injured or worse, dead. My car came around and I carried Ryn, bridal style to it. "Hang in there, Ryn." I said as I gently placed her in the back seat and just as I was about to move around to the other side of the car, I felt a strange presence that made all the hairs at the back of my neck stand up. Raising my hea head, I saw two glowing red eyes watching me from a rooftop in the distance.
I froze, then I blinked to make sure I wasn't seeing things. It remained there, watching me but when I took some steps towards it, the red eyes blinked before moving farther away in the dark.
"Your Highness," One of my men called, drawing my attention back to the crisis at hand. "She's getting pale."
"Be right there," I answered and rushed to the car. Once I was in, I was shocked to see Ryn had become completely white. Removing my jacket, I draped it around her and made her lay her upper body on my thighs as we sped to the clinic. Still I couldn't help but wonder.
That beast could have easily come down to wreak havoc. So why didn't it attack? Also why did Alpha Eric go to such lengths to fight over an omega girl? Something's not right and I will get to the bottom of it.
Until then, I looked down at Ryn's body on my
"I really hope you survive."
