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

A Single Tear 

YILEYNA

Raiden had told Charlene and me to head below deck soon after that, I didn’t see Theon again. Hours had passed, and when I felt the ship slow and the coldness grow, I knew we had probably reached the pass. 

“I’m just going to go check on how things are.” I told Charlene, standing up. 

“You shouldn’t go out there, it’s dangerous.”

 “I told them to take the pass, I should be up there. There’s a split several miles in, I just want to make sure they know where they are going.” 

“You told the captain that already.” She protested, clearly not wanting me to go up. 

“I know, but just in case. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, my queen.” I gave her my best innocent smile, wanting her approval, and after a moment she sighed. 

“Fine!” She crossed her arms, huffing in annoyance. I winked at her before opening the door, leaving her with the book that she had been reading. 

“I need a book prince to come to life and keep me company.” Charlene pouted as I was about to shut the door. 

“Oh? Who’s the charmer in that one?” I asked curiously.

 “Declan of House Storm. He is perfect, cocky and mocking, yet charming.” Charlene sighed dreamily. 

 “Ah, His Caged Princess.” I smiled before shutting the door and walking down the hall, unable to stop the shiver that ran through me. 

Goddess! It was freezing out here.

I rubbed my arms which were only covered in the thin white cotton of my top. I climbed up onto the deck and looked around. Everyone who was here was silent, so silent that I could hear the water rippling loudly.

 The few lanterns that were alight didn’t help much against the darkness that enveloped us. A few of the men were holding weapons as they looked out at the looming ice mountains that were beginning to close around us. Madelia and Sam were scanning the surroundings sharply, as if ready to use their powers if needs be.

I saw Theon standing next to Flynn at the helm, and I walked towards them. The sound of my heels against the floor and the creaking of wood made a few of them glance at me. The silence was deafening, I could hear my own heartbeat. 

“You should be below deck.” Theon’s cold voice came without even turning towards me.

“I just wanted to make sure we take the correct turn ahead. There’s two, the other one will be too narrow.”

“We know that.” Theon replied, his voice suddenly sounding much colder,
