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

Chapter 35

Down A Cobbled Street YILEYNA 

The journey through the pass had been uneventful and everyone was beyond surprised at that. The tension had grown as the hours had passed, but I was just relieved that there had not been any attacks. We had reached Bellmead just before sunset the following day and would spend the night at a local inn.

The crew were dealing with mending the minor damage to the ship’s exterior, and those from the Silver Storm pack would spend the night in the inn, whilst half the crew would stay on the ship to make sure no one sneaks aboard.

Theon had made it clear to everyone that no one was to discuss our journey, where we were headed or where we were from. To keep it vague and simply state that we were from Astalion if anyone asked.

The town itself was small, and on every corner, there were people leering at us. Curiosity and suspicion had been clear in their eyes from the moment we stepped off that ship.

Theon had taken the lead, with Charlene and I right behind him, and the others had flanked us. I wish I wasn’t squashed in the middle, curious to observe the little island.

We had ordered some dinner downstairs before we retreated to our rooms to rest and have a proper hot bath.

It was now night, the sounds of violins and a woman singing seeped through the cracks in the window. There was a tavern just across the cobbled street where the music was coming from.

I had napped at first, allowing Madelia and Charlene, with whom I was sharing a room with, to bathe first.

“Can we go to the Tavern?” I asked, tilting my head as I peered through the window, towel drying my hair. “The princess needs to stay here.” Madelia replied, smiling slightly. “You go.” Charlene added with a knowing smile.

I pouted hesitantly.

“I’m sure Commander Theon wouldn’t approve.” Madelia added, after a moment’s pause.

I knew the four guards were on duty too, I’m sure if I went for a bit no one would notice.
