My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance 8. The Aethirian Ocean
YILEYNA My heart thundered as I felt the final severing of the bond, and the pain that came with it, unable to stop the tears from falling. This was it… Thank the gods for the rain… The whimper of my wolf and the ache in my chest only grew as Theon stepped away from me. "You should go, I managed to direct them the other way to give you some time, but it won’t be long before they realise-" "I don’t need your help. I was doing fine… without..." I managed to say, still thrown by his acceptance. For the first time, it was as if he did something to make me happy… and not for his own selfish gains… Suddenly, a huge wave reached the sky. Theon pulled me on instinct away from the sea, but to my horror, there within the wave were not one, but three sirens. Three terrifyingly beautiful sirens, and their eyes were on me. "That’s…" I heard Theon murmur. "Tempest…" With cold realisation, I looked at the blonde in the middle. With her deep red eyes and black and red tail, I recognised her.

YILEYNA Deliana… She didn’t respond as she watched me, her eyes growing darker, and I felt the anger spreading from her. ‘What is the meaning of this, Lavina?’ Her voice rang in my head, it held power and suppressed anger. ‘Forgive me, but we had no other choice…’ Lavina replied, her head still bowed to the queen. My birth mother was a queen. It felt strange to see her before me, it just… I would do anything to have my mom back. My real mom who raised and held me… But instead, I was finding royal parents who I didn’t want or need. ‘Do explain.’ ‘She was in danger, we’ve been watching the shore, they were ready to kill her!’ Lavina exclaimed. ‘She is not a child; she can look after herself. Bringing her here is a death-wish…’ She trailed off, before glaring at all the guards and the other sirens. "Leave us." They all listened, aside from Ariella, who raised an eyebrow. "May I stay, sister?" Sister? Deliana pursed her lips before giving a small nod. "Of course, since you we

CHARLENE I was terrified for Yileyna, with every passing day I wondered if she was ok. She was alone, and although I knew Theon loved her after his deceit, I didn’t know what to think. I was trying to tell myself he wouldn’t let anything happen to her, but I was terrified too. She was brave, but she was all alone. It was hard for Gamma Grayson too, knowing that his mate was left behind, but there was no other choice. I hadn't told him about who I was because I didn’t want it to become an extra burden for him. I was ok with him not knowing. Knowing that Mom and Dad were killed felt painful. Even if they weren’t fully good people, I still loved them. Dad’s death had hit me harder, I just wish I could have told him goodbye and that I loved him, even if he wasn’t my biological father, he was the one who raised me and had always treated me better than Mom. We had travelled to two packs, however Obsidian Shadow Pack guards stood at the entrances, and we were not able to even meet those

CHARLENE I hadn't been able to sleep all night. Alpha Hunter seemed to have been satisfied with my response and had ordered for wine to be brought in celebration of my agreement. I ran my fingers through my hair, watching the men train far below, lost in thought. I hadn't gone to breakfast this morning, unable to face him. I had gotten dressed in a black dress, with a plunging neckline and a flared umbrella skirt, but all I wanted to do was get into bed and hide from the world, so I could have some time to comprehend and digest everything that had happened. Raiden and Gamma Grayson had mind linked to ask if I was ok, which I had cheerily told them I was. Living in this place… so far from everything I was used to, was going to be different. I had always thought Westerfell would always be my home… I sighed heavily. Hunter wasn’t a bad person, and he was handsome. I blushed at the realisation that getting married also meant… My heart thumped, my cheeks burning even more at the idea

THEON "How could you lose her?!" Dad roared at Arabella, who had her head bowed, almost as if wanting to flinch, but she remained in her position, her head down. "Both of you!" His orange eyes turned on me, but I remained indifferent. I had been dragged back from the coast, but even now the panic that was consuming me was outweighing the fact that I had rejected her. I felt empty, but it was ok. I had been emotionless, simply a shell for vengeance until she had made a place inside of me. Maybe I was just not meant for anything more than this. I just hope she was safe. I wish I had dived into the water, but I was fucking useless, unable to even swim because a siren’s injury was far more dangerous and powerful than an ordinary injury, and my Little Storm had fucking dug deep. I deserved it though; I had hurt her far more than these mere injuries. She could do this ten times over and it would never be enough… The bruises that covered her body, the lashes on her back… Anger blistered

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

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.

My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance 60. Epilogue Part 2
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
My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance 59. Epilogue Part 1
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
My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance 58. His Departure
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
My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance 56. About the Future
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
