YILEYNA It had been so much to take in, and although I was told to rest on it, I was unable to. Being underwater was daunting in itself, despite the fact that I was getting used to it. Not to mention the dark-haired distraction that now stood in my room. His dangerously handsome looks did not help my nerves, he was staring at me with intrigue, and something more. Aquarius, that was his name. One of Deliana’s guards. I had been mortified when she had said he would take care of me, and how our guards were meant to satisfy us if we wanted. I had gotten embarrassed, however none of the other sirens had even batted an eyelid. I was given some clothing if you could call it that… it simply consisted of sheer fabrics or tiny jewelled pieces of metal for my breasts, and a sheer piece of cloth to wrap around my waist. I sat on the bed, swinging my legs as I watched the ripples in the water. I felt frustrated. There was so much to take in, I first thought being the heart was stressful enough
YILEYNA Two days had passed, and when Deliana had said I’d feel far more desires, she had not been wrong. When I slept, I dreamt of Theon fucking me, and when I awoke, the thought irritated me, but I couldn’t deny that I often had the most explicit images in my head of him. I just felt so horny, to the point I often was tempted to invite Aquarius over for some fun, but I refrained. I tried to focus on other things instead, learning more about the sea and the issues here. Deliana, Lavina and Ariella trained me a little, giving me tips on how to use my abilities, the way it rippled through me was so natural and felt so right. Swimming with my tail had become easy, and it was almost as if I had been born with a tail. Deliana told me that once I went ashore, I would be able to shift into any form I wished by simply thinking it. We were now travelling towards the Obsidian Ocean, this was where the Sea Emperor resided, the supreme ruler of the seven seas. It blew my mind how fast one cou
CHARLENE The day of the wedding had arrived, and I had never felt so alone. Hunter had been nothing but pleasant whenever I saw him, but it hadn't been as often as I had wanted. Being the Alpha, he was extremely busy. He had already begun to work on the team that would travel with us, sending scouts and messengers out in secrecy to our allies. Although I had only attended one or two meetings, I realised Hunter was a man who was admirable. He was a little arrogant at times, a little teasing, quite handsome and undeniably sexy… I had seen him with his shirt open two days ago and my stomach did not settle. Of course I wasn’t ready to be intimate with him yet, but I couldn’t deny that the idea was beginning to entertain my mind quite often. I was now dressed in the lace dress that Hunter had asked the pack dressmaker to create for me, with my taste in mind. It had turned out far more beautiful than I had ever imagined it would. My hair was left open, styled in loose waves with a braid
HUNTER The wedding had gone well, we all dined on plenty of meat and wine, and we had now finally retreated for the night. My bedroom had an extra wardrobe and a chest of drawers in it now, stocked with clothes in her size beforehand. Polly, or someone, had scattered my dark brown bedding with red and white petals. A platter of chocolates and wine stood on the table beside the bed, and lanterns had been lit, casting a warm dim light around the room. I removed my shoes the moment we entered, wanting to pull my shirt off, but I wasn’t sure she was ready for that. Her heart was already beating louder than the drums of war. My pretty little cherry-faced princess. "Do you wish to undress?" I asked, jerking my head towards the bathroom and locking the bedroom door. She shook her head quickly, and I nodded. "Will you tell me a little about your family? I have wanted to ask you about your mother, it was clear from our short conversations that you respected her highly." She asked taking
THEON Three days had passed since Yileyna had vanished beneath the surface. Despite the worry I felt, I knew she was alive, she was out there and I would find her. I had gone to Ailema to tell her to get in touch with Flynn, and how I needed to travel once more, but she had told me it will take a bit of time. As much as I hated to wait, I had no other option. I unwrapped my bandages, staring at the wounds that were simply not healing at all. They had been stitched as well but they were still raw and bloody. The stinging pain was a welcoming reminder of the internal invisible wounds I had inflicted on her… A Siren’s attack in anger was far more deadly than those in a normal attack. The head healer had explained that their anger and rage create a poison that is excreted through their nails and lips. Hence how the name ‘the touch of death’ came about. I cleaned the wounds, hissing at the stinging pain. Pain that was now beginning to spread to the rest of my body slowly. I grabbed f
YILEYNA "Ah, I could look at you all day." Ariella swooned, smiling as she looked at my tail. "And it seems like none of the males could stop staring too." I know, Deliana had given me several more mermen, which didn’t help the temptation they offered. Once I was on land, we wouldn’t need them, but when I had come face to face with a deadly shark or two and a sea monster, I had felt relieved to have them handle it. We were currently in Deliana’s kingdom, it was my final night here tonight. I had seen the Emperor this morning and tomorrow we would set out for the surface. I would go back on land and then I would get in touch with Raiden if I could. But more so I needed to head to the Iron Claw Pack, it was the only way into Naran, from their territory or unless of course, I went around to the deadly marshes. Then there was the Fae Kingdom on the other end which would take far too long. I was worried too, I had felt some pack links break and it terrified me. What was happening? Who
THEON Yileyna’s mother was the one who killed mine… The conflict I felt inside of me had shaken me to my core. I paced around my cabin; it had been an hour since we had found her, but I had been unable to stay in her presence, my head was about to burst. I looked around the room, it was too fucking small, the sway of the ship was making me sick and it almost felt like I couldn’t fucking breathe. What do I do? What the fuck do I do? I stared at the ceiling, that was only a few inches above my head. It was too fucking claustrophobic in here. I threaded my hands together, placing them behind my head as I took deep breaths. I had killed Hana and William De’Lacor, something I regretted every single fucking day… I know, I fucking know I no longer can take away her birth mother from her, I know what I fucking need to do… But everything I had worked my entire fucking life for was unravelling. First from the image of reality that Dad had portrayed, one that was beginning to hold a lot
YILEYNA "Nothing." His words made my stomach somersault. He had offered to help me, and I was sure he would ask for something in return, but he didn’t. Once again, in his own way he was showing that there was some good in him, only making me more determined to remove the veil from his eyes, to show him that his father may not be what he thinks. "Nothing?" I asked, looking into his amber eyes. They were as gorgeous as ever, but they didn’t seem to be as vibrant as usual. I guess he must be exhausted. "One would assume your hearing would be impeccable… What’s wrong? Do you need me to get closer and whisper it in your ear again? Or perhaps you secretly wanted me to ask for something else?" My core clenched at his tone. That urge to advance on him tempted me. I was certain that he wouldn’t refuse, but where my body craved him, my heart still bled with the pain of his betrayal. "I heard… but it’s…" I shook my head, clearing my mind the best I could. "What is your plan? Why are you out
Thank you for reading this book, and once again, I appreciate all the love, support, and kind words that everyone has given me. For the patience and trust you had in me with this story. This has been the darkest story I have written, and Theon was a character who was not meant to be just a hero. He had committed sins, some of which will forever remain. Yileyna, our innocent yet naughty Yileyna, where do I start? She was a young girl who, in a way, was infatuated with Theon, unable to see anything more than the love she felt for him. They both grew, both changed for the better, and only then were they able to truly be with one another. I am happy that I was able to pen this book the way I had envisioned it. - If you did enjoy this book, could you please take a moment to leave me a review on the main page by clicking the three dots on the top right side of the page, go to ‘about this book', scroll down and leave me a rating and review!

YILEYNA. He was home. He came back to me. His lips met my neck in a deep kiss, and I could feel every muscle in his body tense as he controlled himself from ravishing me. His kisses became hungrier as I forced myself to turn in his arms. I looked up at the man I had so dearly missed. Our eyes locked, his a blazing mix of oranges and golds met my own, my emotions making my hands shake as I cupped his face. "You’re home." "I'm home." He smiled faintly, before our lips met in a deep, passionate kiss. A kiss that made my knees give way, and if he wasn’t holding me, I would have fallen. The prickles of his short beard tickled my chin. The minty taste of his mouth and his scent devoured me, just as his lips dominated mine, kissing me hard and rough. He lifted me entirely from the ground, and I wrapped my legs around his waist as I kissed him back hungrily. He pushed me against the wall, slipping his tongue into my mouth like a man starved for far too long. I moaned helplessly, my core
YILEYNA. Nine Months Later… Seven months had passed, and I lived for Theon’s letters. In his absence, I put my head down, focusing on the changes I wanted to see in the kingdom. I even found time to visit Deliana down in the sea. She had been happy, now I often went for a swim in siren form with her. A lot had changed. Hunter and Charlene had a beautiful baby boy, who they named Nathanial Gray Carson, after Nathalia and Grayson. It was the perfect name for him. He was an adorable little boy, with brown hair and big soft green eyes. To my absolute delight, Charlene spent a few weeks here when he was a month old, and I loved their company. Enjoying the chance to shower my nephew with lots and lots of love and gifts. I didn’t want to give him back, but I had to. Oh, he was adorable! I wrote to Charlene almost as often as Theon, although the messages were so much lighter than the longing and pain I tried to hide in the ones to my beloved. Thea and Raiden were engaged. They would wed i
THEON. We hadn’t slept that night… Even after sex, we couldn’t sleep, not with the fact that I would be gone in the morning… My heart felt heavy as I now picked up my coat, and my small bag was ready. She stood there dressed in one of my shirts with a corset around her waist, paired with simple grey pants. Her heart was thundering as she watched me. It fucking hurt… She had bidden Charlene, Hunter, and Zoe goodbye just an hour ago, and now it was time for me to leave. I knew she didn’t want me to go, I had seen the tears she shed when she thought I was asleep in the early hours of the morning. The front she put on to be strong… and I fucking wished I could be here, but until I felt like I had done enough to be worthy of her, I would never be at ease. Yet, once again because of me, she was hurting. "Hey… if you want, cry." I said quietly, pulling her into my arms and tightening my hold. Fuck, I was going to miss her. A soft heart-breaking whimper escaped her as she bunched my s
YILEYNA. The day of the coronation had arrived. I was wearing a sequined strapless silver dress, which was fully embroidered, and encrusted with pearls and jewels on the bodice. It was fitted to just above my knees before it flared out with a long trail behind it. The embroidery was lighter on the skirt, with a full border at the bottom. A matching cape stood to the side which I would wear once it was time to take my oath. My make-up was glowing, and my hair was half pinned up with soft curls tumbling down my back. I was wearing silver heels, as well as a large silver necklace and earrings. Matching gloves reached my elbows, and I wore a few rings. I was currently in the new royal quarters, a place I had chosen for Theon and myself. It was towards the back of the castle, despite it not usually being the place preferred by royals as it was smaller. However, the view was stunning. Looking out over the gardens below and the coast in the distance had tempted me to choose this part of th
YILEYNA. Three hours had passed, and we had just showered after a very sizzling few rounds of sex. I had put some roast chicken and vegetables in the oven that would be done soon, and I was slipping on a black silk nightdress that reached mid-thigh. I sat in front of the vanity mirror, opening Mom’s jewellery box. The few remaining items that I had managed to salvage were all here, along with the amulet that belonged to Theon’s mother. I had been given it by one of the omegas who were doing a thorough clean of the castle and had found it in his old room, but I hadn't managed to find the right time to return it to Theon. I know it belonged to the Obsidian Shadow pack and was a painful reminder of the wrongs that stained that pack, but it had also been his mother’s. I shut the jewellery box, clutching the necklace in my hand, as I walked out into the main room. The room was glowing with the warm lights of the lanterns, and two windows were open. With summer approaching, the weather w
YILEYNA. Three Weeks Later… Three weeks had passed since that night. I took the throne and became the Alpha Queen of Astalion by default. The last few weeks had been a blur of work. Not only were there things to do within Astalion, but there was so much to work out with the other kingdoms and how we would go from here. The foremost was the funeral of our fallen heroes, the victims of Theoden’s actions. The Kingdom was in mourning for three days, and until those days were up and everyone was buried with full honours, there was no merriment. The fallen sirens, nagas and fae were also engraved on the memorial stone in the courtyard of the temple of Selene, for they died for this kingdom and fought bravely alongside us for our people. After the funerals, the next job was making peace between the sirens and nagas. Something that went well enough. Despite the fact the two species will never mix, they came to an agreement, and the Naran empire broke down their dams, letting the water th
THEON. I lifted her bridal style, carrying her back to Westerfell. Not many were around, save the guards standing on duty. Neither of us cared for our surroundings as we made our way toward our cabin. A place that we had spent time together only fleetingly, but a place that held some of the best memories we had together. I kicked the door shut behind me, turning the lock in the key before I carried her to the bedroom. Pulling back the top layer that may have collected dust and placing her down, turning one of the lanterns on. I wanted to see her tonight… properly… The dim light cast a glow around the room, and she smiled softly up at me as I slowly pulled my tunic off, tossing it aside. Her eyes raked over my body, her heart thundering. I could see the love in her eyes, the desire and anticipation as she propped herself onto her elbows. Reaching up with her leg, she ran her foot over my cock, which was already semi-hard at just the fucking thought of fucking her. Removing my sho
THEON. The Queen… Someone who fucking deserved the best, but I had marked her… The pull towards her was a storm in my mind, and although the bond was completed, all I fucking wanted to do was fuck and claim her all over again. Seeing everyone bow to her and my mark adorning her neck had overwhelmed me with emotions that were far too many for me to process. I was Alpha now, I felt it the moment he died, the transfer of power... I had walked away, helping with the worst job, disposing of the dead before I had washed my hands with soap a thousand fucking times, wanting to remove the memory of Theoden from my skin. It was strange how everyone looked to me for guidance, as if they had forgotten what I had done in the past. Was it just me who couldn’t forgive myself? I was now down by the coast, sitting on the edge of one of the rocky cliffs, not wanting to run into any sirens down in the water below. I just wanted peace. I had unleashed my anger upon Theoden, but his death had taken
