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

We were heading back down the rocky path, when Theon grabbed my wrist, making me gasp as he turned my hand, palm upwards. “What is it?” I asked, trying to ignore the tingles I felt at his touch and how close he was standing.

He frowned as he uncurled my fingers, before looking up at me after a moment.

 “I thought the silver jug would have burned you.” 

 “I don’t think it was fully silver, it only stung a little.” I replied, my heart skipping a beat, and I couldn’t resist smirking as I looked up into those smoldering amber eyes. 

“Were you worried about me?” I added teasingly as I leaned into him, placing my free hand on his chest.

My heart pounded as our gaze locked.

His eyes narrowed and he wrapped a hand around my neck, making me gasp. I could see Madelia and Charlene watching us, and when Theon bent down, his lips brushing my ear, I tried not to sigh in pleasure.

“No, I just don’t want a burned hand wrapped around my cock later.” He replied arrogantly, before letting go of me.

Oh whatever, that was a total lie. We both knew it would have healed by nightfall…

“So what now, Beta?” Madelia asked as we all continued trudging down the path. Beta… That title used for another still stung a little. I wanted to prove my worth… but with Theon as the new beta to be… I felt… confused.

“Did he say anything more after we left the room?” Theon asked, ignoring her question.

“Nothing regarding the prophecy or Charlene, we just said goodbye.” Madelia replied, trying to remain emotionless and professional despite the sadness in her eyes.

“He saw the gift in her, but said it’s sealed. The question is, who would have done that?”
