YILEYNA

Her ominous words made my stomach twist, and Theon looked over at me. My heart skipped a beat, my cheeks heated up and I looked away.

I had no idea what we were… but… those emotions… those feelings…

Now that my cravings were satiated, my mind was clear, and although looking at Theon didn’t make me want to scream and shout, I was still confused. I loved him, I still loved him, and it made me feel guilty.

He was the one who sent my parents to their deaths. Was I an awful daughter for somehow still loving him? I had almost killed him too... In fact, he was dying with each passing day... I knew what a siren's touch of death was... I needed to ask Lavina if there was anything to help, but for that, I needed to be close to water.

I forced my atten

Hello, lol well if Theon took 24 hours to come I'd be worried haha. I post daily, I'm afraid it's the best I can do whilst being a mother, wife, and a carer to my special needs child. ♡

    YILEYNA. The legion approaching burst from the trees, and it was an impressive sight. One of unity and strength. Werewolves in human and wolf forms, fae knights on horses, all wielding weapons and ready to attack. They stopped upon seeing us, but it was the woman on the black horse in the centre that made my heart skip a beat, and the tears of happiness fill my eyes. I was unable to say anything, my emotions overwhelming me. I took a shuddering breath as our eyes met. It took her a moment to look me over, noticing the change in my appearance, but not once did she not recognise me or hesitate. Her beautiful green glistened with tears as she slid off her horse and ran towards me. My Queen. I stepped forward. Never had I been apart from her for so long and I had truly missed her. "My Angel." She sobbed the moment she flung her arms around my neck tightly. I embraced her tightly, burying my nose in her shoulder. She smelt slightly different, but it was still her, still my Charlene. I

    THEON. It was amusing how uneasy they were around me, but I didn’t plan to explain why I killed all those who had hurt her. The guards who had beaten her from the Obsidian Shadow Pack were still on my list, and when the time was right, I planned to kill them too. She wanted an explanation, but I didn’t bother giving her it. Night had fallen, and we were all set for camp. I knew Hunter wanted to speak to me, but I wasn’t so sure I was ready… Not to mention, I was rather surprised he had chosen Charlene as his mate and Luna. Well, whatever works for him. I had just bathed in the river and was now re-bandaging my chest, when I heard him approach. I grabbed my top, yanking it on just as he stepped out from the trees. "When will you officially introduce us?" He asked. I knew who he meant, and I raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care? It's not like you have ever known her." I replied. "She’s still my sister, Theon, and from what I deduced, she knows who I am." "Yeah, I may have mentio

    CHARLENE. It was two nights later, and tomorrow we were splitting into two groups. At dawn, Yileyna, Hunter, and Theon would head to Naran, and I would travel forward with the rest. I was terrified of what may happen to them, but I had to remind myself that Hunter knew the Naga better than anyone and has spent his life fighting them, and Yileyna and Theon were powerful too. I gazed up at the full moon as I sat beside Yileyna and Thea. I had gotten to know Thea a little better, Hunter and Theon’s sister was lovely. Despite everything she had gone through, she had the will of fire flowing within her veins. Last night she had awoken screaming, it had taken Theon and Yileyna both to snap her out of it. She was taking it worse, not wanting Theon to leave her again, and I didn’t blame her. Hunter’s words from earlier when she wanted to go with them to Naran now returned to my mind, as another thought came to me… (Earlier that evening) "Please Theon, let me come with you, I don’t want to

    HUNTER. All evening the unease within me was growing, the full moon was glaring at me, mocking me and taunting me. No, I didn’t want a chosen mate… but deep down a part of me selfishly thought of the possibility of a dream coming true… A dream where I was mated to none other than Charlene… I was avoiding facing her under the full moon, but it didn’t matter, she was mine. She always would be, but the fear of the slight chance of someone stealing her from me would remain. I had sent Raiden to deliver them some drinks, but it was high time I went to find her and bring her to bed. I was about to mind-link her when I saw her flaming hair as she walked towards our tent. My heart thundered as an intense scent filled my nose, and my wolf howled. The urge to rush to Charlene’s side consumed me, and then she suddenly froze, sniffing the air before all colour left her face and she turned, about to rush away when I ran over and grabbed hold of her arm. Blinding sparks coursed through me as I

    YILEYNA. Four days had passed since we had ventured into the Nara Empire, the tightness of the trees and the humidity was suffocating, and worse there was no water, nothing to drink, what we carried was almost finished but we still continued. Theon was injured but still, he was far more bothered about me. Goddess, it hurt. I didn’t understand what we were, but I decided there was no point in labelling us. We had somehow become one another’s confidants… I felt like I was seeing the real Theon and it was only making me admire him. Sometimes it was hard to tell what time of day it was, and although I was tempted to summon my powers, Hunter warned me not to. I looked at the huge snakeskin that dangled from a tree, and shuddered as Hunter pushed it aside as we walked through. "Is that a Naga skin?" I asked, disgusted. Sure we had seen other snake skins, but this was the largest I had seen. "Most likely…" Hunter murmured. "We are getting closer to the other side." I could tell, the

  • My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance   35. A Futile Attempt

    YILEYNA My eyes flashed and it was almost as if we moved as one. Both Theon and I raised our hands, Theon’s glow swirling around his sword as I raised a wall of ice. The Naga slammed into it, before the ice was cracked by Theon’s sword slamming through and into the Naga’s stomach. My heart thumped. His move shocking me. Sure, the barrier was not the same ice that I encased the castle with, but for him to break it so easily… He was strong, and it confirmed that he held back during our training too… I shook my head, looking for a way to get closer. If I could encase his body in ice… "Yileyna!" Hunter shouted just as the Naga’s tail slammed into me. I went flying as Theon sliced its tail off and I flipped in the air, landing on my feet. I touched the sludgy water with my hand, sending ice through it and letting it wrap around the Naga’s tail, he hissed shoving Theon off him. He was injured but it wasn’t fatal. "Stop." I commanded, raising my hand and creating a shield of ice. "We are

  • My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance   36. Nagas

    YILEYNA. Our entry was no longer a secret. We fought the Nagas. They were relentless, powerful and violent. The worst part was that we had to be careful not to be poisoned by those fangs. The two brothers had their auras wrapped around themselves, I think it was the first time they had fought side by side, and despite the severity of the situation, they were competing against each other and seemed to be enjoying themselves. "I think that’s eight." Hunter smirked, yanking his sword from yet another dead Naga. "Nine…Oh wait, make it ten." Theon’s husky deep voice came as he decapitated another Naga. I would have said something if I wasn’t busy making sure the Nagas didn’t get too close. The Emperor’s grandson was obviously trying to kill us, yet he was still smart enough to keep his own distance and send his men after us. Ice may be my go-to power, but today I was channelling my connection to the earth. Making the roots of the trees weave through the air like tentacles, wrapping aro

    YILEYNA. My heart crumbled, even when he had placed a tender kiss on my forehead before taking my hand and leading me towards Hunter, I had been unable to think of anything else but what he had said. I never knew what I wanted, but when he told me we were not meant to be, I wanted to shout and ask why? Somehow we could work, right? A part of me told me he was right, that the kingdom would never accept a traitor as their king, but was he a traitor? No. He had been misguided and manipulated, just like many… Sure, it did not make everything he had done go away, but even people like Nikolai Levin were allowed to walk amongst us, despite their sins. Why not someone who was on the path to redemption? Fighting alongside me, ready to face his father and kill him for all he has done. It was clear Theon loved his Pack, his family, and his people, but it was his father who had manipulated him. I understood Theon wouldn’t be able to simply forgive himself, but that in itself showed he was wor

  • My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance   Author's Note

    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

  • My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance   57. The Coronation

    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

  • My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance   55. A Decision at Court

    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
