Chapter 86
Chapter 86 MIRO
I rushed into the bathroom and when I checked the mirror, I saw blood leaking out of my nose. I gripped the edge of my bathroom countertop, to endure the sharp, knifing pain in my head.
I shouldn't have made that statement.
I shouldn't have let her find out that I was trying to help her. It was easy to file it under punishment, to pretend that I was trying to hurt her. Now, my consciousness has accepted the real truth, and like a whip to the bareback, my father's binding authority is punishing me. "Hey, what's going on?!" The girl I brought home banged on the bathroom door. "You haven't even touched me or looked at me since I got back."
I lowered my head and washed my face.
When I raised my head again, I found my eyes turning red with blood. It leaked out one eye and I had to grab a wad of toilet paper to dab it off.
"Answer me!" She kicked and her voice only made the knives in my head sharper. I dabbed the blood off my face before rushing to the door. Flinging it open, I came face to face with an angry brat
and before I could cajole or tell her sweet words, she slapped me. "That's for being such an ass and abandoning me for that girl."
My wolf reared to the surface and instantly her face morphed from anger to fear within a second. She stepped back, raising her hands up in front of her in surrender. "I'm sorry, okay?" Her voice trembled. "I'd just leave."
With that said, she blindly grabbed for her purse on the bed and when she got it, she moved backwards away from me till she got to the door. After fumbling with the knob, she got the door open and when she stepped into the hallway, she turned, and ran.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
I didn't relax until I heard the slam of the door downstairs, then I closed my door and went back to the bathroom. Thankfully, I only bled from the nose this time and after cleaning up, I showered and changed into a t-
shirt and cotton boxers. Popping some painkillers, I went back to my bedroom. Still, suffering the effects of the knives in my head, I tried to mindlink my brother but I couldn't feel him, so I grabbed my phone and called my brother.
He picked on the second ring.
"Sup?" He asked. "Is Ryn okay?"
I smiled bitterly. Is that all he cares about these days? "She's fine. I replied. "Where are you?"
"Went out of town for a minute but I'll be home in the next...two hours."
"Just come home."
"Why do you want me home?"
"Cause I miss you." I replied seriously. Something about having him around puts me at ease even though we'd still fight.
"Are you high?"
Laughter bubbled from my throat, and overflowed into a chuckle but then, a slicing pain cut through my head and I winced. "No, I'm not. Just messing with ya, But seriously come home, I can't stand your girlfriend." The line went silent for a moment. "Are you okay? You don't sound good."
A bitter smile crept to my face at his words. He was always observant about the slightest shift in my emotions.
"I'm fine, brother."
"Alright. See you soon." and with that said, he ended the call.
Many nosebleeds later, the kniving pain in my head subsided but I couldn't sleep.
"Sir," one of the security on watch mindlinked me.
I winced in pain. "What?"
"The lady guest. I think you should come see this."
Instantly, I was out of bed, and out the door. When I got to the stair landing, I looked down and found Ryn held at a distance by one of the security men. I sighed. This was one of the side effects I was talking about. Moving downstairs, I approached them and found Ryn's ey her face slack.
"She's been sleepwalking all over the living room and went out to the balcony." The security guy, a blonde retired Elite said and just as he finished speaking, Ryn perked up, still with her eyes closed. She sniffed the air, and left the hold of the man. He tried to hold her again Ryn sniffed the air, her
legs moving in one direction and then another until she began to make her way towards me. I watched with curiosity as her nose led her right to me, then she smiled and reached out with her hands. I stepped back but she moved forward, grabbing blindly for me until she re The guard watched in surprise and even I stood frozen, wondering what this could mean. I knew sleepwalking was one of the side effects but I had never heard of something like this happening. With a simple nod, I dismissed the guard and for a moment, stared down at Ry An involuntary smile made its way to my lips.
When I caught myself, I frowned and gently unwrapped her arms from my waist. I can't allow myself to get caught up in her siren hold or whatever it is about her that draws me in. Suddenly, her face scrunched up in a brattish pout, and I admit to myself that she was beyond Of course, no one will ever find out. This is a secret I am taking to my grave.
Still fast asleep and swaying on her feet, I decided it was best to carry her to bed.
So, I did, and the moment I put my arm underneath her legs and lifted her up, bridal-style, she wrapped her long, slender arms around my neck and instantly rested her head on my shoulder.
Suddenly, my wolf stirred and in an instant, all I want to do is take her to my bed.
