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

48. Love & Thoughts

THEON

Last night still replayed in my mind, and although another day had come and gone, I couldn’t bring myself to return to the cabin. It had felt too… intimate. Against my better instincts, I had been unable to hurt her by walking out. That in itself should be warning enough for me. She was having an effect on me, far more than she should. I should have walked out last night, but seeing the hurt in her eyes… Fuck I wish I could say it was how ravishing she looked that made me stay, but it wasn’t.

I didn’t want to see tears in her eyes, unless, of course, they were caused by when we were getting physical… Just the thought of her naked body made my dick twitch. Was I falling for her?

Was I even capable of that? I had spent years trying to squash all my feelings, so why was she able to break the impenetrable shield I had placed around myself?

“Here you go, handsome.” The blonde who had just placed a fresh tankard in front of me said in a flirty tone.

I cast her a cold glare, not bothering to even spare her a word.

That was another issue. I was someone who had no shame in admitting that I didn’t mind admiring a sexy body when I saw one, but that was until Yileyna came into the picture…

I wasn’t the only one who thought so. She was the most talked-about woman, especially among the epsilon ranked warriors. When they were drunk or unmated, I have heard enough about her. There was no such thing as getting enough when it came to Yileyna.

I closed my eyes, trying to control my anger that was beginning to rise.

I had loved once…but it had been different than what I have with Yileyna. I always put it down to simply desiring her, but last night my actions proved that wasn’t the case.

I picked up the tankard, gulping it down in one go and slamming the empty tankard onto the table.
