pretended not to see him and made sure to keep my mood in check so he wouldn't catch on
"Well," Miro shrugged. "We don't have chefs because I love cooking. We love cooking." He motioned to his brother. "So.. yeah."
He said and glanced awkwardly everywhere before turning back to the pot.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Cool" I said, not pressing further because that was obviously a lie. My eyes glanced at Theon's computer and I saw the image of a very good-looking man while a software scanned the faces of an ongoing surveillance of people walking about in mall

I frowned because somehow he looked familiar but I had no idea where I'd see him.
Theon glanced my way and I looked away, pretending not to be snooping. "If you have questions, you can ask." He muttered.
I wondered if there was any point to it if he was capable of hiding the truth from me. "Who's the guy?" I asked, as I opened a bottle of water.
That" Theon sighed. "Is Dominic Tarrent

s hot." I stated, taking a sip and the way both brothers turned to look at me with a glare, made me swallow the wrong way and end up coughing my lungs out. "Hot mess." I coughed again. He's a hot mess."
I stared with wide eyes at the kitchen counter as both brothers still watched me. "Sorry." I coughed again. "Seems like he's a bad guy
"Wait a minute." Theon said, gaining my attention. "You don't know about Dominc Tarrent?"
I looked at them both like I was missing something. "Uhm.no." I said. "I must have skipped the class when I was in and out of the hospital" I winced. "Sorry"
"Makes sense." Miro said to his brother. "But why didn't you borrow notes?"
"Back then, Coach Dutton the first Dutton was in charge. I couldn't go to him because every time, he'd direct me to his office and then none of my male colleagues wanted anything to do with me so yeah. A terrible excuse, I know, and I am very sorry.
Theon sighed. "Its fine. We'll go over the days you missed and I'll tell Adam to catch you up. In the meantime, let me tell you about Dominic Tarrent. But before you can learn about him, you have you know about The Great War. Were you in that class?" I slowly shook my head, starting to feel like an idiot.
"The class of the Great War was also on the same day as that of Dominic" Miro said, starting to dish out food.
"Fine. I'll tell you both. So listen good."
I turned my knees so I could face him.
There are four kingdonts making up this hemisphere. The kingdom of the East, West, North and South. Each Kingdom stands alone but sometimes inter-trading fosters economic growth. Now the Kingdom of the North doesn't really like to interact with anyone and that made us, here in the West suspicious"
"We looked into them and realized the kingdon of the North likes to experiment with people. They successfully created a

way to make werewolves and lycans faster, stronger, and healthier. So technically, they became successful at creating super soldiers and healthier people.", "Wow" I said, amazed.
"Now here's where the problem set in. Here in the west, we are advanced in technology and weaponry and we offered to make a deal. We'll share our armory and expertise in exchange for the formula they used to create better werewolves and Ivcans "They refused." Miro said, handing me my plate and Theon his
"Then we got intel that the kingdom of the North was building up their army to rule and oppress us."
"We confronted them about it and they denied it. They said they would prove their honesty by supplying us with the serum. instead of giving us the formula."
"My father and his delegates thought that was cool, not knowing they planned on tricking us."
"Miro and I were pretty young when it happened but we were told that the batch they brought was given to over a thousand soldiers and they all turned out.deformed"
I gasped. "That was how mutants were bom?"
"Exactly" Miro answered "Over a
a thousand:
mad and rampant and with our defenses was easy for the North to come in and
war and that's how the Great
were caught and imprisoned, but we quickly found out that it would take a special cell to hold them. So they escaped and when they bite people, they can infect them with the virus."
"Most mutants were
"Oh my gods." I gushed, considering I have had several encounters with them...
"With the help of scientists and brilliant minds, we found a breakthrough cure for mutants. Soldiers got their lives back and were able to revert back to normal but the downside was that they'd also lose their wolf and become human."
"A life without the wolf is hard." I said, speaking from experience
-So most mutants didn't want the cure. They preferred to stay as they were."
"So my father built the Elite Force, a group of specially trained soldiers who can withstand anything and face the mutants at least three to one." "Did it work?"
"If you mean if we were able to hunt, kill, and capture mutants, then yes. But if you mean cure them or give them their lives back, then sadly, no. Instead, they chose to join forces with the Northerners where they accepted." "Damn."
"Imagine over five hundred mutants joining forces with the enemy. Miro said and I could clearly see the picture. Catastrophic. That's what it would have been.
"So where does this guy come in?" I nodded to Dominic.
"Dominic Tarrent was the Prince of the Alpha King of the North, He had a sister but no one knows where she is. She mysteriously disappeared. We were able to defeat the Northerners because our brilliant scientists concocted a recipe from scratch to make the soldiers even stronger than the Northerners, This special recipe is given to graduates of the Elite program."

"Wow." I beamed, sullenly feeling excited but I noticed Theon's face fall.

"Because we had his father in custody. Dominic kidnapped our le sister as well as Miro and used them as a medium to harter for his father."
I
Oh I said, suddenly seeing where this was going.
"Unfortunately, Dominic's father died in custody and in retaliation, he let mutants tear our sister apart."
"I'm so sorry to hear that I said, feeling stupid now for saying what I said about Dominic being hot.
Theon and Miro both had the look of someone who was angry and sorrowful.
"I need some air. Miro said and walked out.
Theon watched him go and I could tell he wanted to go alter hit too. So I encouraged him to.
"No." He shook his head "Miro needs the space. He'll be fine."
I nodded. "I'm sorry I had to make you guys relive that."
"You have nothing to be sorry for." He said. "All I want you to do is graduate because it seems the disappearance of many girls around the kingdom is starting to become an issue. Women had the highest rates of deaths in the last war and y you corning in to sign up opened my eyes to the possibility that, if all woman knew how to fight, if my He paused.
"If my sister knew how to fight, maybe she would have had a chance." He said. "So I'm counting on you Ryn." Theon said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "All the women in the kingdom are counting on you to give them a chance at defending themselves
With that said, Theon covered his food and that of his brother and then walked out of the kitchen.
I looked at my food and suddenly lost appetite.
