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

13. The Alpha’s Announcement YILEYNA

“Maybe I was wrong…” Raiden murmured, confusing me. I pulled him to the side as the next song began and more people began to join in with the dancing “Hi, Theon.” I said as I collected my bunny from the ground, dusting it off. His eyes snapped to me, and I saw the tick in his jaw as he clenched his teeth. “Yileyna.”

My stomach fluttered, as it always did when he called my name. He looked handsome, in full black, his sleeves pushed up and his pants hugging his thighs. A white belt with a silver chain on it was around his hips, only emphasising his incredible body.

“It’s a pleasure to see you, Theon.” Raiden offered, smiling respectfully.

No one needed to announce it for me to know that everyone already saw him as their soon to be Beta.

“Wish I could say the same.” Theon’s cold reply came. I looked between the two men, the humour that had danced in Raiden’s eyes moments earlier was gone, replaced by curiosity and a hint of something else.

“Well, enjoy the evening. Yileyna, it was an honour to dance with you tonight.” He gave me a charming smile and took my hand. He raised it to his lips, kissing it softly. “Enjoy the rest of your evening…” I replied, trying not to let Theon’s glare affect me.

Charlene’s words came back to me, If there was any truth in what she said, then… My heart skipped a beat and I was unable to stop myself from reaching up and pecking Raiden on the cheek.

“Thank you as well, for being such a pleasure to dance with.”

My heart was going crazy, and I dared not look at Theon. My eyes were fixed on Raiden’s blue ones. A smile crossed his face and he nodded. “Anytime, beautiful.”

He gave Theon a final nod before walking off, and I dared to gather my courage to look at the amber-eyed man next to me.

“Hey.”

Wait… didn’t we already greet one another? I fiddled with the strands of hair that framed my face, almost dropping my rabbit. The silence was deafening.

“Didn’t I warn you to stay away from men like him?”

I looked at him, surprised.

“I don’t need to stay away from anyone if I don’t want to, besides, he’s nice.” I stated, trying not to pay attention to the way I was feeling.

Was it just me or was he acting like a jealous, possessive male? Maybe I was delusional and it was just my wishful thinking that was confusing me.

He grabbed me by the wrist, making me gasp at the power in his grip, as he turned and dragged me along with him away from the glittering lanterns and music.

“Theon! You’re hurting me!”

He didn’t reply, pulling me around a corner roughly and down a dimly lit alleyway. “Theon! Stop it! What is your problem?!” I snapped. He turned, his eyes shimmering with irritation as he grabbed my arms and slammed me against the stone wall behind me, making me gasp at the brutal force that he had used. One of his hands was still wrapped around my wrist, pinning it to the wall next to my head. He didn’t reply, simply glaring at me as if he wanted to burn holes through my head. His heart was beating a little faster than usual, and my gaze dipped to his lips.

“My problem is that your stupidity knows no bounds.”

“Or is it that maybe you want me.” I whispered softly. “I’m not stupid, Theon… Otherwise, care to explain why seeing me talking to Raiden really pissed you off? I’m not Charlene. You’re not my bodyguard. What I do is none of your concern, you need not get pissed off.” Call me crazy, but I couldn’t just let him get away without explaining himself. “Was that your aim? To piss me off?” His husky voice was making me breathless, I tried to focus on anything but how close he was now standing. How could someone irritate you yet at the same time make you want them so badly?
