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

Chapter 88

I awoke with a gasp, my entire body felt heavy. My eyes flew open, my heart thundering with confusion as I looked around the room.

Where was I? What happened? I felt delirious and confused, jolting upright in bed. Where am I?

I looked around, trying to focus, and it took me a moment to realise I was in the guest room at the Alpha’s quarters… How did I get here?

It looked to be mid-afternoon outside, but from the howling wind, I could tell the weather was rough. The cold was obvious in the room too, the huge log fire was lit ablaze. I placed a hand to my head just as everything came rushing back. Theon… The Obsidian Shadow Pack… The truth… My heart pounded, and I pushed the blanket off, stumbling out of the bed. I needed to tell someone!

Suddenly the door opened, and my heart leapt seeing Charlene standing there, with a few towels and a bucket in her arms.

“Yileyna! Goddess! Yileyna’s awake!” She shouted in relief as she ran to me, dropping the bucket of water and catching me before I fell to the ground as the warm water splashed over our legs. I couldn’t even feel my legs… I heard footsteps before Theon appeared at the door. My heart thumped in fear as I stared at him. He pushed me.. His look of surprise changed to a deep frown as he came over quickly, taking me from Charlene.

I opened my mouth to talk but no sound came out, it felt like I had swallowed handfuls of sand. Only a weak croak left my mouth. “Bring her water!” Theon growled, carrying me to the bed as my chest heaved, staring up at him.

“Yes!” Charlene nodded, her eyes full of tears of happiness as she rushed from the room.

“So, you’re awake…” Theon said quietly, running his fingers through my hair.

Looking into his eyes for a moment, I almost thought I saw concern and worry, but it was just my imagination. I…. I needed to tell someone… Do I pretend I forgot that night?

“What happened to me?” I asked, feinting a look of confusion,

He smirked slightly, tilting his head.

“You don’t remember?”

“No… I don’t remember anything.” I said rubbing my head,

Calm down, Yileyna..

His eyes glinted as he leaned closer, tilting my chin up before he pressed his lips to mine. A ripple of pleasure rushed through me despite the fear that was consuming me.

“Lies…” He whispered, making me gasp as I jerked away. “You remember it all…”

“Dad! Yileyna has awoken!” I heard Charlene say.

I needed to tell the King…

“Let’s keep that night between us, we wouldn’t want anyone to lose their pretty head of ginger hair now, would we?” Theon asked softly, brushing his thumb over my lips.

“You wouldn’t.” I croaked out hoarsely.
