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

When I left the cells, my mind was spinning…

I had slept with the daughter of my enemy. She was the daughter of a siren… I was still able to deal with that somewhat, but his daughter? I felt sick and angry at myself for even allowing it to happen. I had never made the link between them… 1

Even those eyes that I loved were the same shade as his.

Fuck this.

I punched the stone wall of the pillar in front of me. Pain jarred up my arm and a crack appeared in the stone. I clenched my fist in anger.

Andres’ daughter…

A sudden thought came to me, and I frowned, deep in thought.

Her powers seemed to be blocked…

The heart was sealed…

Yileyna was obviously much more powerful than Charlene and held power, was there a possibility that she could be the heart?

The mage was blind…

My heart thudded as I turned, realising he had looked in the direction of….

Both girls, they had been together. ‘Remember, the heart of Kaeladia belongs to all.? An Alpha female… Yileyna was definitely more of an Alpha than her sister. Fuck, Yileyna was the heart… I was sure of it. The one thing my father was after… what we needed. 2

I exhaled, running my fingers through my hair, remaining silent when I heard the sound of footsteps. His scent reached me and I knew it was the king. He didn’t even seem to notice me as he walked out, looking like a man defeated. He deserved it…

He sat there on the steps, deep in thought and almost forlorn. I liked seeing him like this, and this was only the beginning. “So, she’s your daughter.”

He turned to look at me, and I was satisfied to see the glimmer of fear in his eyes.

“Theon.”

I schooled my face into one of slight concern. “I’m sure it must be hard to get your head around, but fear not, we will find a solution.” I said

quietly. He visibly relaxed at my words and sighed. A sudden thought cropped into my head, and I stepped over to him. As long as he didn’t think Yileyna was the heart… This might work. I sat down on the stone steps a foot away from him and placed my hand on his shoulder. One day I will take his life with this very hand… “Alpha, don’t worry too much, we will come up with a solution. Perhaps we should move her to another city for now? Somewhere away from the accusation’s upon her.”

He shook his head.

“No, we can’t. Theon she… she might be the heart. Did you not feel her aura?” He looked at me seriously. Fuck. He had figured it out… I frowned smoothly, pretending to think before feigning subtle surprise. “You might be right. Then what is your plan?” I wouldn’t get to take her away without a fight or reason. “There is only one option… I announce the truth: That she is my daughter, but we keep her… other side, a secret.” He said, frowning coldly. I raised an eyebrow. “You will let everyone know?” “Yes, if she proves to be the heart, then I will.” He said quietly.

“And if she isn’t?”

Maybe if we could make sure it wasn’t revealed

“She must be, she said a fae by the name Zarian said her powers were blocked.” “But if she is not, then?” I asked quietly. “Then… I’ll make sure she’s taken care of… Of course meaning, I’ll send her far away.” He replied, changing his sentence midway as he watched me warily. I frowned slightly. Would he really try to kill his own daughter? His eyes met mine, but apart from anger, I felt nothing.

She was his daughter. Why should I care about her fate?

me. “Zarian… the fae, he may know more. Find him and bring him to me immediately.” I nodded curtly. “I know who he is. I’ll bring him to you immediately.” I stood up. The fact that Andres had realised she may be the fucking heart still irked me. However, I needed to listen to him… I needed to keep this façade up… If Yileyna’s powers were awakening, it meant victory was ever closer. My stomach twisted as
