Chapter 173
MIRO
Ever since I woke up, I had been different, but I couldn’t place my finger on what it was, until I ran my fist through my bathroom mirror.
That’s when I discovered what it was.
Rage
It had been there simmering under the surface, driving me to be apathetic towards Ryn even though the pull between us was electrifying. What she doesn’t know is that I wanted her so bad. I wanted to be good to her but the anger, it felt like something possessing me.
I winced as a memory of me in that pod flashed before my eyes, bringing with it a nasty headache.
This had happened previously in front of Healer Kwan and he had wanted to check me out medically but I refused and after making sure my brother was fine, I mixed myself a strong cocktail to stay numb instead.
My intention was to get so alcohol induced that I’d sleep off for hours and hopefully, wake up feeling better.
That was the plan, and just when I was about to head into my room, her scent hit
my
nostrils.
Lpaused in my steps, turned the fuck around and went to the banister and when I saw her hugging Sadie, a new feeling arose which was just as strong as the rage within.
Lust.
Crazy, mad lust for her. So strong I fear what I would be capable of. So I forced myself to walk away and lock myself in my
room.
I did pushups, sit ups, and even fucking calisthenics to get my rage and lust in line.
….and it worked.
For a moment, I felt normal and after a shower, I was just about to sleep when I heard that knock and when I saw her standing there, that rage and maddening lust for her surged up again and it took everything within me to act non–chalant and not pull her in and shut the door.
After that, I was fucked.
I couldn’t sleep, and the flashes which were just random became frequent causing a migraine that added to my rage.
I decided another shot of that cocktail would help and that’s why I left my room. I had no intention of tracing Ryn’s scent. had no intention of watching her sleep, and the fact that she chose to curl up next to my brother, made that rage intense.
I curled my hands into fists, fighting the flashes and the migraine.
Random images from my memories kept occurring and I wonder if I really escaped the gas serum.
Is this it? Am I really losing my memories?
I decided if that was the case then there was something important I needed to do.
Looking at the time, I hurried out of the house and was driven somewhere. By the time I got back, I was sore but calmer and when I found Ryn still sleeping, I was content to just watch her.

Chapter 178
Sliding my hands into my pocket, many questions plagued my mind.
Will Ryn leave Theon for me? Or will it be a situation where we share her?
1 shook my head. I don’t want to share Ryn. I want her to be exclusively mine. Theon has had his own mate and I wasn’t involved then so why does he get to share what’s mine this time
I ran a hand over my head, feeling that rage about to start again.
No. No. 1…Gods! Fuck! I can’t…
I need to be loyal to my brother.
Brothers first..before anything, right?
I need to hear Theon’s verdict when he wakes up.
He might not want her, considering his previous mate tried to kill him. So, maybe I’d still get lucky?
I sighed and just then, Ryn stirred and in an instant, she grabbed her gun and pointed it directly at me with sharp precision.
It took me back to a time where she did the exact same thing with a hair pin. I found that action hot back then, and I still find it hot right now.
“Relax, it’s me.” I said, stepping forward and her deadly gaze framed by that fucking luscious hair softened immediately.
“Are you okay?”
I was about to lie, but then I got another flash and this time I was sure I was losing my memories because I can’t remember some things anymore.
“Not really.” I replied. “Can we talk?”
Instantly, Ryn was out of bed and when I saw her in my shirt, a small smile lingered on the corner of my lips. Everything about her in that shirt screamed mine, and I suddenly had the urge to give her all my shirts. Anything and everything she
wants.
Ryn placed her hand on Theon’s forehead and gently pulled up his cover before heading for the door.
“Come on.” She said, and the way she commanded me, I’d be damned if my feet didn’t move any quicker.
Like a dog seeing its master, I followed her out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen. Then she asked me to sit and then pulled a pint of Ben and Jerry’s from the fridge, grabbed two spoons and handed me one.
My brows furrowed as I watched her open the ice cream container and began to dig in.
urge to lick
“So, what’s up?” She asked, and when she swallowed a spoon of vanilla ice cream and licked her lips, I felt the them too. I had thought long and hard about this and I had decided that I was going to ask Ryn out before my brother gets the chance.
That way Ryn will be mine fair and square.
I opened my mouth ready to speak, but then my mouth suddenly went dry as she scooped another ice cream into her mouth.
It suddenly dawned on me that I have never asked a girl to be my girlfriend.
Ryn stopped and looked me in the eye. “Are you trying to reject me?”
11:34 Wed.
Chapter 173
I blinked in surprise, all my thoughts vanishing. “What? No, Lulim.”
She sighed in relief, and ate another spoon of ice cream and for fuck’s sake, I can’t concentrate,
“I want you.” I blurted out, and she looked at me, with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.
I should say something more.
Fuck. I rehearsed everything in my head on my way back here. practiced. How can I easily charm the clothes off dozens of women, but I can’t bare my heart out to the only one who matters.
“I’m listening.” She said and suddenly I took note of the smudge of ice cream staining her lips.
“I uhm…wanted to ask…” I muttered, my eyes darting to her lips every second. Then I sighed in frustration. “Maybe it’s better if I do it this way.”
In a second, I held her face with both hands and captured her lips with mine.
At first, the kiss was tentative, a test of the waters to determine its temperature. Then she responded and I waded in deeper, loving the current.
Gods! She tastes so good, so different and she makes all the women I’ve been with feel like nothing.
Grabbing her waist, I carried her up and placed her butt on the kitchen island. Our kiss became intense, leaving no room for air.
The message was clear.
Ryn wanted me just as much as I wanted her, Ljust hope she’d want to be with me alone..
Our lips paused, lingering within an inch of each other, hesitant, wanting, simmering in the spark that just lighted.
“I was wondering what happened to this guy.” Ryn whispered.
This is it. This is where I should ask her to be mine but before I could respond, another terrible flash happened worse than the last and I stepped back from her, gripping my head.
Ryn came down from the counter and touched me. “Are you okay? What’s happening?”
“Bad headache.” I groaned.
She moved away and when I raised my head, I found her searching through the drawers and cupboards hopefully for a painkiller. When she couldn’t find any, she ran out of the kitchen and by the time she was back and breathless, I was slightly feeling better.
She opened the bottle and counted some in my hand before fetching a cup of water for me.
“I know that stupid gas thing will have an effect on you.” she muttered as she handed me the glass of water. “Are you losing your memories?”
เ
I looked at her, unable to hide the truth. “Yes.” I replied, then I watched the pain shine in her eyes, as they moved in thought. “We need to do something.:” Her voice cracked but before she could speak further, a loud crash occured from upstairs. “Theon.” Ryn looked at me in alarm before rushing out of the room with me behind.
