Just wanted to say, as much as I'm happy to see everyone enjoy the book, please remember it takes time to write and edit ♡ I'm already spending 8 hours a day to get these out but I also have a family to take care of :) if anyone's finding the chapters short please wait until the book is complete or let the chapters build up for a week before reading :D hope you all enjoyed these two chapters.
YILEYNA I smiled softly, I couldn’t believe just this morning I was beginning to feel doubtful about him, to the point that I wondered if he could be a traitor. I shook my head and placed my hand in his. "I guess we should." I replied airily, trying to ignore the sparks that softly tingled through me. A few guests chuckled, whilst I heard someone say they should drink in mourning that I was no longer available. I watched as Theon slid the stunning ring onto my finger, it was made from a platinum white gold with a pale blue emerald cut diamond at its centre. Surrounded by small clear diamonds that covered the double band of the ring itself. It was a perfect fit. My heart was such a storm of emotions that I was no longer able to think straight. I took the ring for Theon from the cushion, my hand shaking as I held my hand out to him, his eyes burning into me. "Any moment now?" He whispered mockingly, making me try an attempt at a glare before I managed to slip the dark engraved rin
YILEYNA We had walked out onto the second-floor hallway, this part of the building had little roof. We stuck to walking under the protection of the roof above our heads, watching the rain fall to the courtyard below. Despite it being quieter here, there were still many people talking and strolling around, so we took the next stairs up. Theon led the way, scanning the area as he led the way. It was clear he was looking for somewhere quiet to talk. He finally stopped when we were in a secluded area. "Ah, this is perfect." I said looking up at the open sky as I walked to the edge of the balcony that circled around the centre of the middle courtyard. We were on the third floor and there was no one up here save from us. "Just the two of us…" He said huskily, making my heart skip a beat. "Yes." I said, turning my back towards him as I gripped the balcony rail leaning beside me. He closed the gap between us and I bit my lips as his scent hit me. He smirked, placing his hands on the balc
My eyes rolled as pain and overwhelming pleasure coursed through me, every thrust hitting my g-spot. His lips crushed against mine in a rough kiss, as he pulled out before slamming in completely. "Ouch… Fuck, Theon." I whimpered, my legs trembling. "Too late. You wanted me to fuck this pussy hard, right?" "Yes.. fuck, Theon…" I gasped, my vision darkening. He pulled out fully, leaving me gasping and feeling empty, before he delivered a sharp slap to my pussy. "Ah!" "Turn around." He commanded. I obeyed, clinging onto the pillar as he thrust into my pussy from behind. I gasped as he lifted one of my thighs, driving fully into me, his other hand around my throat as he kissed my neck and shoulders hungrily. Only the sound of his breathless grunts and my wanton moans filled my ears. I knew that we might be heard, even the rain and wind wouldn’t drown us out. But I didn’t care. Right now, all I wanted was this moment, this insane and intense pleasure that only he could drown me in.
YILEYNA I awoke with a gasp, my entire body felt heavy. My eyes flew open, my heart thundering with confusion as I looked around the room. Where was I? What happened? I felt delirious and confused, jolting upright in bed. Where am I? I looked around, trying to focus, and it took me a moment to realise I was in the guest room at the Alpha’s quarters… How did I get here? It looked to be mid-afternoon outside, but from the howling wind, I could tell the weather was rough. The cold was obvious in the room too, the huge log fire was lit ablaze. I placed a hand to my head just as everything came rushing back. Theon… The Obsidian Shadow Pack… The truth… My heart pounded, and I pushed the blanket off, stumbling out of the bed. I needed to tell someone! Suddenly the door opened, and my heart leapt seeing Charlene standing there, with a few towels and a bucket in her arms. "Yileyna! Goddess! Yileyna’s awake!" She shouted in relief as she ran to me, dropping the bucket of water and
YILEYNA It had only been less than ten minutes since Theon had left, but it felt like years. I was trying to think of what to do. I had no way to contact anyone… Whatever he had done to the palace guards and staff was beyond me. No matter how many times I shouted trying to wake them up, it didn’t work. Think, Yileyna… Shouting and the orange glow of fire seeped through the small, barred windows. Time was running out. I took a deep breath, I needed to get out of here now. Letting Zarian’s words guide me, I began to focus. Focus from within, right now my abilities were sealed and so I needed to channel my emotions. That wouldn’t be hard anyway. With a surge of determination, I strode to the bars, gripping them tightly and closing my eyes I let every heartbreak and pain I had ever felt out; the pain, the sadness, the bittersweet moments. My eyes stung with tears as I used the pain that I had buried within me out. The temperature dropped, I felt the ice spreading beneath me and th
YILEYNA Just then two men of the Silver Storm pack attacked him. It was a suicide mission, but it gave me the time I needed. "Run, Princess!" I nodded, my heart squeezing as I knew their fate was death… I turned and ran through the flames, refusing to let their sacrifice be wasted. Stopping suddenly at the sight before me, there in the middle of the clearing were the king and queen, tied and mortally wounded. The queen was near dead, laying in a pool of blood, whilst the King was on his knees, breathing raggedly as he kept his head raised. "So, you managed to escape…" Theon’s cold, emotionless voice came. My heart thudded as I stared at the hooded man that now circled the king and queen, the sword in his hand dragging along the ground, grating against the stone. My stomach lurched as a strong sense of Deja Vu from the day at the hospital returned to me. Somehow, I had been forewarned of this moment… When Theon had touched me… Fire… Death… Goddess… "Don’t do this, Theon." I wh
MY ALPHA’S RETRIBUTION: Rising from the Ashes of his Vengeance - YILEYNA Numb… It was how I felt. I was bound in silver with some sort of spell upon me, down in the cells. My eyes were covered with a piece of cloth whilst my mouth and neck were bound with rope. I could barely breathe with how tight the rope was wrapped around my neck. It was somehow… over. The future looked dark, but despite the agony within me, I refused to give up. Theon was my mate. My fated mate… How had the Goddess paired us? What was I being punished for? The moment I had realised it, something had struck the back of my head, I remembered the white hot pain erupting in my head, then I woke up and I was here. How things had changed overnight… The mind link, no one knew I had it, and even the silver didn’t stop the voices pouring into my head, but I kept silent. For now, I didn’t want anyone to know I had the link, and I could hear some of the pack members through it. They were mostly of women, or thos
YILEYNA Killed by a siren… I was unable to ignore the pang of pain that washed through me. No matter what he had done, his mother and sister were not a part of it, and my heart broke for them. So, this was why Theon held so much hatred towards the sirens. This war between our species had gone on for far too long, how long would the two species carry on like this? What started this? Was there a way to end it all? I didn’t let my emotions show and instead I raised my eyebrow challengingly, trying not to be drowned by his scent. "Well, I'm sure you will at least be pleased when I lose my head." I replied icily, turning away from him. Deep down I was unable to shake off the fact he had warned me about his father and was telling me to keep my heritage a secret from him… Was there a part of Theon that knew his father was wrong? Was there anything in him that I could justify? "I'm warning you. From tomorrow I will take you to train as Dad wishes, be on your best behaviour Yileyna, becau
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
