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

41.The Mage 

YILEYNA 

Trying to remain indifferent, I grabbed the jug, pouring myself some juice just as Theon lifted the crab, but rather than eating it, he used his knife to push it off his fork, letting it fall rather unceremoniously back onto the platter.

Tossing his knife back down onto the table, his irritation was clear in his actions.

"Don’t push my fucking boundaries."

Theon’s icy voice came, and the anger that radiated off of him made the entire table fall silent, but despite the tension that settled around the group, I couldn’t help but feel happy.I was about to put the jug down, when Theon reached over and took the glass I had just filled up.

"That was mine." I said, poking my eyes out.

"Now it’s mine." He replied with an ‘I don’t give a fuck’ look, gulping down half of the juice in the glass and placing it down again.

"Everything is yours."

I muttered, but despite my mock annoyance, my heart was soaring.

"Yeah, it is."

Our eyes met and my heart pounded, like always his gaze would consume me.I turned back to my food just as he took the fish I had placed on his plate and bit into it.I couldn’t stop the smile from crossing my face and turned towards Charlene who was watching with eyes wide open with excitement, and I knew she wanted to squeal with happiness.I did my best not to look at Barbara, although I did want to see her expression.

Oh well, we can’t have everything we want.

Feeling far more content, I decided to enjoy the delicious meal before me… It was a while later and we had all eaten a lot, Oliver wasn’t as jolly as he was by the end of our meal and the poor man looked as if he had run a hundred miles.

Well, that is what happens when you have twenty or so customers and the majority are all werewolves.

We can eat for Astalion itself! The mood that had settled over us during lunch was now gone, the severity of the reason behind this journey now weighing down upon us.

Theon was quiet and Madelia was frowning deeply.

"This mage, will he do a spell of some sort?" Charlene asked the two who were walking slightly ahead.

"No, he is in no health to perform any magic.He is a seer.He may not have the sight to see anything of this world but he sees what we cannot.Now Princess… please do not ask such questions out in the open."

"Yeah I-"

"As future Alpha, shouldn’t you know that without having to be told?"

Theon asked, his voice cold and that familiar hatred seeping into it once more.

How had I never noticed that hatred towards Charlene before? 

"Ok, calm down." I said, frowning at his back, glancing at Charlene.

I hooked my arm around hers and rested my head on her shoulder.

"She gets it."
