Thank you for reading, this one will leave everyone with mixed emotions! We also got our first Theon PoV! Do drop a gem if you enjoyed it!
YILEYNA I watched him walk away, leaving me on the table, my heart thundering as I realised this was it. I knew it wasn’t going to be anything more than sex but to leave me the moment we were done… I clamped my hands over my mouth, muffling the sob that left my lips. I don’t know what I was expecting… but I wasn’t anticipating him leaving like that. Why had he felt disgusted at the end? Why could I feel his anger? I pulled my legs to my chest, rocking myself as I tried to control the pain that was suffocating me. I felt even more alone than I had before I gave myself to him. I cried softly into my knees, the sharp throbbing between my legs was a stark reminder of what had happened. A moment of pleasure with the man I had liked for so long... Was it worth it? Had it been worth it? I didn’t know the answer to that... At that time, I couldn’t think of anything but the pleasure. It felt like a dream come true, and I couldn’t deny that I felt like I was in heaven. But now I just felt
THEON I caught her before she collapsed, looking into her beautiful face, as flawless as ever even when in pain… The urge to brush back her blonde locks was strong, but I simply lifted her into my arms as Nikolai stepped forward. "As Beta, you should handle the evidence, I’ll take her." He said with that face of his, you want to punch him every time you see it. "As an Epsilon ranked guard, you should learn when to keep your mouth shut before I have to do it for you." I looked him square in the eye. ‘After what you attempted… you should be worried about your position, because when I become Beta, you are a goner.’ His eyes flashed as I spoke the latter through the link. ‘My family is far too powerful for me to be stripped of my rank for something you have no proof of. Besides, she is the daughter of traitors. Her only value is to be treated like the whore she is.’ My eyes flashed. That blistering anger that always swam beneath the surface was threatening to rise and kill the man be
YILEYNA Theon had taken me to the hospital and had unashamedly told the healer I had sex the night before. So here I was with a mug of hot milk as Healer Shayna looked at me. She sat on the edge of the bed, her hands clasped together, concern clear in her warm brown eyes. "Was it consensual? From my examination, it seemed it was rather… brutal." "Yes, it was." I replied quickly, blushing at her question. She nodded, her curly blonde hair bouncing when she nodded. "Good. And are you on contraception?" "No…" "Would you like a contraceptive charm?" She asked. This was humiliating… but I remember Mom telling me that when the time came to make sure I got one… "Um, yes please." I said, staring down at the steaming mug. "I will have one prepared for you. Just come back monthly to have it renewed. Do you have any items you would like the charm to be put on?" I looked down realising I was still wearing Mom's rings I had picked out last night. "I have this." I said, my stomach sinkin
YILEYNA A few hours had passed since Charlene had come, and Theon had once again become the quiet, cold, stoic, arrogant jerk he always was when we weren’t alone. Charlene had helped organise the stuff whilst Theon had stood outside the apartment, leaving the two of us alone, but with the door broken I knew he could hear everything. She had been so upset with what happened and refused to believe my parents would do such a thing. Goddess, I loved her. She wasn’t just saying it to appease me, she genuinely believed it. I just wished her father also realised his friend would never do that to him. "Are these are all for donating?" Charlene asked, pointing at the sacks I had stacked to the side. "Yes." I replied, feeling a wave of sadness wash over me as I looked at one of Mom’s dresses peeking out. "You are doing exactly what they would have wanted you to do." She whispered softly. I nodded, getting back to brushing up the broken crockery. "Are you ok, Yileyna? I mean obviously no
YILEYNA I stared at the small cabin that belonged to Theon, seeing the glow around the edge of the window, meaning someone was here... My heart skipped a beat, Theon would stay at the castle, right? Did he know I’ll be going on the trip too? I looked around. There was a scatter of cabins, each with its own garden area, trees and low fences surrounding each square of land. It was a nice area… I hadn't paid attention last time. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. I didn’t hear anyone coming to the door, so I knocked again, frowning. Surely he was in there. I knocked again, louder, before the door was yanked open and Theon stood there, giving me a withering glare. "If no one answers, it means it’s unlocked." He stated icily, turning and walking off. "How was I meant to know that?" I retorted, stepping inside and shutting the door behind me. The smell of something delicious filled my nose and my eyes scanned the kitchen counters. I was starving, only now realising I had on
YILEYNA Three days had passed, and I had been immensely busy. Not only was Theon’s Beta ceremony delayed, much to the court's surprise, but we had been notified that we would set sail at sunrise on the fourth day. The King had found a crew to take us. In total, there would be twenty-two of us on board The Siren Killer. A name that intrigued me, I was not expecting the king to have chosen something like this for our trip. But I guess a ship that was going to brave this journey had to be as dangerous as The Siren Killer looked. The body itself was dark and sleek, it looked like a formidable beast. I could see it was equipped with heavy weaponry and its three masts had deep red sails. The crew consisted of nine men and three women, which included the captain of the ship. I didn’t recognise any of the ones I could see from Westerfell, they all looked as threatening and hostile as the ship itself. From their tanned skin, tattoos, and sharp eyes, I doubted any of these werewolves were fro
YILEYNA My heart pounded as I stared up at Theon, I could hear the captain shouting orders as we made to set sail. His scent filled my senses, and the feel of his hand against my lips felt good. I tried to pull away from his vicelike grip, yet he didn’t let go. He held me off the ground as I struggled fruitlessly, poking my eyes out at him. He didn’t say anything, walking down the narrow hall and stopping outside one of the rooms. "Do not make a sound." He warned, his deep sexy voice making my stomach flutter like always, his eyes blazing gold in silent warning. I nodded and he slowly removed his hand from my mouth. My heart was racing as he slipped a key from his pocket and unlocked the door, still not letting go of me until we were inside and he pushed the door shut, locking it. "And to what do I owe the pleasure of being dragged into a room so unceremoniously?" I asked, narrowing my eyes, trying to yank free from his hold, but instead, he slammed me up against the door. "I do
THEON "I don’t understand why you want to go straight through The Lifeless Abyss, it’s a death wish." Flynn said seriously. A frown on his face as he looked at the map in his hands. I crossed my arms, raising an eyebrow. "You were chosen because, apparently, you are the most capable captain out there. Don’t tell me the Alpha made a mistake." His jaw ticked, his eyes flashing as he stared at the map. "Yes, I’m capable, not stupid. We can take a side route and then detour heading west towards The Aethirian Ocean." Flynn advised. "I’m with the Captain on this one." Raiden said quietly. "The waters of the Lifeless Abyss are dangerous and we won’t make it through it in one day. Being there at night is a death wish. No man has survived a journey through it." "So The Siren Killer is scared to brave siren infested waters?" Ryan asked mockingly. "It’s a reckless move, is what I'm saying." Flynn growled. I wasn’t stupid… I know exactly what those waters held… I also knew the risk, and F
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
