A big wave of dread washed over Mylo as Ryker strode inside their classroom in an imposing step, his hands in his pockets.
Ryker stands in between the both of them in a safe distance, creating a red triangle thread.
Mylo bites his bottom lip, a fearful feeling of apprehension dawning on him as more students gather around them. The hall filling up, every eyes watching them curiously with batted breath at the scene involving the two powerful Alphas.
Zeke packs his bags and immediately stands behind Mylo, despair filling his eyes at how cooked they are.
Mylo hated this moment, not only was he getting looked at by so many people, he was also gaining so much attention when he was supposed to stay invisible.
He did not do anything to deserve this!
Mylo looks up at Royce, terror running through him as he is met with a wink from the Alpha.
"So, what do you say?"
Ryker tilts his head to the side, focusing his gaze on Royce, his tone acidic, "What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you that," Royce spares Ryker a glance, his eyes back on Mylo's face, "What? Were you planning to hide this plaything? You picked him for me, right? Knowing he is just my type?"
Ryker clenches his fist, stopping himself from punching Royce across the face.
He takes daunting steps towards Royce but Nico immediately stepped in, trying to stop Alpha Ryker from approaching his Alpha but Royce raises his hand in the air, stopping his Beta.
Ryker leans forward, whispering into Royce's ear, "I'm warning you, keep your hands off him."
"Why should I do that?" Royce hides the agitation in his voice so well, his eyes transfixed on an anxiety filled Mylo.
He was sweating nervously in his palm, helpless of what to do with the situation.
"Because he and I have some unfinished business," Ryker says out loud, his head turning in Mylo's direction, "Right, chicken?"
Mylo's mouth hangs open at Ryker's comment. He is about to argue that he has no business with him, nor with any of them when a professor walks in, slamming his books on the table.
"What is going on here? Everyone take your seat!"
Ryker grabs Mylo on his wrist and forcefully drags him out of his classroom.
Mylo yelped, struggling to free himself from the Alpha's tight grip.
"Don't touch me! Get your dirty hand off me!" He yells, putting his sole on the ground to stop Ryker from dragging him away.
The professor doesn't look, he ignores the scene and goes ahead and writes Quantum Physics on the white board with a blue marker.
Royce smiles, his face filled with regret for casually causing such an uproar.
He bows his head apologetically as he made himself smaller, exiting the classroom. He did not stop Ryker from taking the boy, neither is he going after them either.
With a contented smile on his lips, he goes back to his own lecture hall.

Mylo is not surprised to see himself being dragged to floor 3.
Ryker throws Mylo into the restroom causing him to fall on his hips.
Mylo does not stay still, he forces himself up on his feet even though it hurts so much to move.
He glares at Ryker, his eyes excavating the Alpha's forehead, "What do you want?"
"What do I want?" Ryker chuckles at the ridiculousness of this boy's questions, "You think you are some sort of expert in being shit?"
Mylo is quiet as he knows he cannot answer causally. He knows the type of bully Alpha Ryker is, the type looking for an opening to hit you or beat you to pulp, dismantling the rest of your day.
"I need you to give me a simple answer," Ryker says in a sharp tone, his jaw ticked with seriousness, "What discussion were you having with Royce and what was he doing in your lecture hall?"
Mylo is genuinely taken aback at this question, his mouth is widening in surprise.
"I do not understand what you are talking about or what you are trying to do. But I know one thing for sure that you are trying to pick on me and I won't give you the pleasure."
"Do you think I'm playing with you here?" Ryker raised an eyebrow, his tone frightening. His aura, his whole presence making Mylo's legs shake with unease.
"On your knees while you talk to me."
"What?"
"I'm not going to repeat myself, you need to know your place, you need to have an absolute understanding of the differences between us," Ryker takes off his cuff links and drops them in his back pocket, folding up his shirt sleeve.
The air is thick in the room and Mylo recognizes this thickness. A sign that he is about to die for the hundred times but he is not going to let his faith fail him. He did not do anything wrong and he refuses to get bullied by this Alpha.
"Like I said… ahhh."
A backhanded slap lands on Mylo's left cheek, his bottom lip bleeding as his face flings to the other side.
"On your knees."
Mylo refused, his body burning with determination to not give in to his bully.
Slap!
Ryker lands another hot slap across Mylo's right cheek.
Mylo still wanted to fight and stand still but his body does not handle the Alpha's next slap as he falls to the side.
Ryker doesn't give Mylo the space to get up as send a hard slap across his face for the fourth time, causing Mylo to cry out.
He spits out blood accompanied by a tooth.
"Please…" Mylo blinks, his vision blurry with total disorientation, "Please…" He quickly gets on all fours, settling on his knees.
"That is more like it, isn't it?" Ryker mocks, his breath shaky with anger, "Now answer my question quickly."
"I don't know what you are talking about," Mylo says truthfully.
That was actually his first time seeing the other Alpha twin. He hadn't discussed anything with him.
"He is a stranger to me just like you are. If you really want to know what we discussed, how about you ask him yourself?"
Ryker runs his hand through his hair, frustrated at Mylo obliviousness.
Frustrated that Mylo does not even know he is his fated mate because he is human. And how Mylo does not know that Royce would stop at nothing but use him for his fun.
And now that he also knows that he is interested in playing with the boy. He is going to deliberately use Mylo to get to him.
"You are going to stay away from Royce and beg me for your protection."
Mylo does not understand what this Alpha wants from him.
He opens his eyes tiredly to look at the Alpha, "You don't understand. I don't know the both of you and I cannot care less what the both of you are. And if anything you both are the ones who need to stay away from me. I haven't done anything wrong to any of you and I don't deserve what you are doing to me."
"Your sharp tongue can't even cut open a piece of wood. Become my slave while I'm offering nicely or your cry baby friend is going to receive my wrath."
"What you are committing is a great sin and my God might be a merciful God but he is also a jealous God and he can move mountains for his children. What you are doing is wrong and Zeke is innocent."
Ryker stares questioningly at Mylo, scoffing, "Are you genuinely this naive or you are just stupid? By tomorrow morning I want every part of this restroom cleaned. All the halls on the floor cleaned and books arranged. I want the floor and the ceiling blinking white when I step in tomorrow," Ryker commands and he is about to walk out when he remembers something else.
"I want an hamburger with hot chocolate, you buy it and wait for me here, kneeling with it. Do you understand me?"
Mylo shakes his head, knowing this Alpha is asking for the impossible.
He cannot even afford to buy any of that but he does not argue so he doesn't get hit by the Alpha.
He thinks he is going to pass out any moments from now… He shakes off the dizziness washing over him as he tries to stand on his feet.
He nods.
Ryker rolls his eyes and walks out, shutting the door on Mylo's face.
Zeke immediately opens the door and rushes inside, regrets and concern filling his face, "Are you okay?"
