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

52. My Purpose

The moment from earlier still played on my mind. She had gasped, backing away from the ice that was thickest beneath her feet, and then it was gone. I had tried to get her to call upon it again, but she didn’t manage it. She was unnerved and confused, but as for me? I was simply intrigued.

Was she part mage or fae? The odd thing was, usually, you could tell, but with Yileyna, you could only sense her werewolf side. There was something missing… and I needed to know what it was. 2

She had been angry and hostile towards me for the comment I made about her parents. I needed to do some digging into her parents’ past. She may have gotten offended when I stated the truth, but it was obvious she looked nothing like her parents, that surely meant something. Her hair, eyes, facial features, and even build were entirely different. We all inherited something of our parents, even if it was subtle.

She has been distracted since then, asking me not to mention it to the king. I didn’t plan to. If she was part mage or fae, I wondered if the king would want her on his team. I just knew he’d use her as collateral damage and Yileyna would happily agree, simply to feel that she was needed and was able to do something. But I didn’t plan on letting her be killed so soon.

My only issue was Madelia had also seen how she had coped with the cold… 1 Was allowing her to live safe?

For now, I’ll let her live as I need her, but the moment she becomes a threat to Yileyna, I’ll get rid of her.

Another blast of wind slammed against me, and I wrapped the grey fur coat I was wearing around me tighter.

I had received the signal that he was here, ready to meet me. I had told Yileyna I would be back late as I had work to attend to and not to wait up for me.

Although she was still upset about my comments, I did not plan to apologise for stating what was a fair statement.

On the other hand, I was glad that she didn’t ask me where I was going… but the fact that she was simply falling so perfectly into my life…that was beginning to worry me.

From wanting her as my whore, to somehow being concerned when she was upset… to claiming her openly… to the thoughts that crept into my mind that I should claim her by marking her… something I wouldn’t do.

But I couldn’t deny that I enjoyed her presence. I slept better for the most part, despite the constant desire of wanting to fuck her repeatedly.

I trudged along in the snow, the blizzard pushing against me and the howling wind louder than everything else. My footprints wouldn’t remain with this strong wind and snow, and I was glad for it. It would save me time from having to cover my tracks.

I had left the city through a hidden passage, making my way further and further away from the city and into the forest. I hadn’t seen him in eighteen months… but I knew I would have to tell him about Yileyna. She… “Theon.” I froze, not even having sensed his approach. A cold blade pressed against my neck, and I heard his sigh of distaste. “Don’t tell me you have become as weak as the pack you are now part of.”

Shit, I was so distracted by my thoughts.

“Not at all. I didn’t sense an enemy.” I said emotionlessly, turning and looking into a pair of amber eyes that were so similar to my own, yet so different. 1

The man was almost my height, bulky, muscular, and wore a dark coat with his hood up, partially hiding his face. A speckled beard could be seen and an angled jaw.
