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

Chapter 45

45. A Monster

THEON

Charlene gasped, and a tense silence fell over the room. Yileyna’s question hung in the air. It was impressive how she had asked that so bravely, a question that had been on my own mind. Maybe she was losing that innocence.

I liked it.

“Nothing. I have done nothing.” He said quietly, but despite his words, he frowned deeply as he swiftly walked to the window, staring out into the distance

That was not the reaction of someone who had done nothing. Andres was the type to have Yileyna thrown into the cells as a punishment for accusing him, unless of course, it hit home.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Charlene look up at Yileyna, poking her eyes out at her. A silent warning not to instigate the king. But the blonde bombshell simply shrugged and glanced over at me. Our eyes met, and her heart began racing. She looked incredibly sexy in that little dress, and the way that corset wrapped her tiny waist… I frowned, looking away, I hated how she distracted me.

The king’s words before I left, regarding Charlene and myself, crossed my mind, and the fact that I had returned to Astalion in some sort of relationship with Yileyna… I’m sure he wouldn’t take it well, but his daughter was someone I’d never choose even if she was the last woman left on Kaeladia.

Yileyna played with a strand of her blonde locks, catching my attention once more. Recently… there was something about her that made my mind go blank, and it irritated me. I looked away and towards Andres, watching him calculatingly. 

“Maybe it was something you didn’t think you did wrong… Or perhaps something you don’t want to talk about? But if there is something or anything that you can think of, isn’t it better that we know so we can prepare rightfully for it?” I asked, emotionlessly. The king sighed, turning back towards us. 

“I have many enemies, Theon, many… Do you know that any pack that conquers the middle land becomes the ultimate king. I have far too many enemies…” How many crimes did you commit for power? I resisted a scoff and nodded.

 “Understood, however by sharing it we can work on a solution to this problem, or at least be able to narrow down who may have cast a seal on the princess.” He nodded, his brow furrowed. 

“You women may leave.” He ordered.

I almost smirked, he was trusting me… He was so concerned about a threat from the outside that he didn’t even think the greatest threat had already infiltrated these walls.

All I needed was to light the match and watch as the entire city burned. With every passing day … that time was coming closer. 

“Father…” Charlene murmured, “As future Alpha, shouldn’t I be here?”

Some Alpha she would be. There was nothing about her that was fit for that position. Sealed power or not. 

“I am alive, Charlene. Leave.” Andres commanded.

Madelia bowed her head and listened to Andres instantly, however the other two hesitated. 

“But with the threats growing, if you want Charlene to learn to be a capable leader, you should allow her to observe such matters.” Yileyna added.

I frowned slightly. Was it just me or was she speaking up far more than she used to as well?
