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

Chapter 79

79. Two Packs

My stomach was a mess of nerves as I stood there in the pouring rain, looking at Theon’s back I wanted to hear the story he had heard outside of Astalion, Theon had travelled a few times and had seen far more of the world than I and Charlene ever had. I remember we would always wait for him to return, counting the days. There was just something fun about having a broody sexy man around…

Why did those times suddenly feel so carefree and childish?

“Do you know when the Silver Storm pack took control of the middle kingdom?”

“It’s said Alpha Andres took this land that was in control of The Dark Ones, saving the people from them over twenty years ago.” The Dark Ones were mages who had become necromancers, so lost in their ways that the land had become poisoned by their evil deeds.” The king saved the people from them, and the land began to flourish once more as well. Bringing peace and safety to the kingdom as a whole.” Theon nodded.

“Yes, in under two weeks it will be exactly twenty-one years since that day… The day this land was freed, but beyond these walls of this city, with Astalion itself, the hushed whispers of another version of the truth are that Alpha Andres didn’t do it alone. He conquered this land alongside his closest comrade, his best friend, Theoden Hale. Two Alphas, two Packs, one goal

My heart thudded as I stared at his back.

The Alpha of the Obsidian Shadow Pack…

“A goal that they worked on together. They were said to be such good friends that they were willing to die for one another. Theoden Hale even took a hit for his friend in battle, resulting in him getting severely injured.” Theon looked at the sky, and I waited patiently for him to continue. “It is said that it was Theoden Hale who took out the final and the most powerful of the Dark Ones, and in doing so freed the land. Yet, against what was promised, where both would rule the middle kingdom, Andres Aphelion went back on his word. With Theoden being injured from the battle, he was weak, and at that moment Andres tried to kill him.” 2 I was unable to stop the gasp that left me. Theon turned around, brushing his fingers through his wet locks. The move alone made my stomach flutter, despite the severity of the conversation. “And then what?” I asked quietly, looking into his amber eyes.

He stepped closer, his gaze dipping to my body, before he ran his knuckles down my arm. “He didn’t only try to kill him, also his wife and young son… But Nathalia Hale was not weak, rumoured to be the strongest female wolf around. A true warrior… Someone who never backed down from a fight. They say she caused a distraction, shifting and carrying her pup in her mouth, with her mate on her back. She fled but it wasn’t enough for Andres… not wanting the past to come back, he never rested. Seeking out where the Obsidian Shadow pack lived, to the point where they were forced into hiding… The king’s word is law, and they say he made sure

everyone knew the Obsidian Shadow pack were enemies.” 2 Something inside of me twisted as I stared into those amber eyes that held far more emotions than they should have… Yes, the story was heart-breaking but… it was almost as if Theon could feel that pain… like he was experiencing it himself. Was it not all hearsay? “So, is that why the Obsidian Shadow Pack wishes to take over? They feel they deserve to be in control of this city?” I asked quietly. “Hmm, revenge. Revenge for all that was taken from them. To show Andres that no matter what, he will pay for the crimes he has committed.” His voice was low, sinister even…

My heart raced as I looked up into the amber eyes of the man before me… amber… like the crest of the Hale family…
