My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance by Moonlight Muse

23. Into The Water

THEON

“I don’t understand why you want to go straight through The Lifeless Abyss, it’s a death wish, ” Flynn said seriously. A frown on his face as he looked at the map in his hands.

I crossed my arms, raising an eyebrow.

“You were chosen because, apparently, you are the most capable captain out there. Don’t tell me the Alpha made a mistake.”

His jaw ticked, his eyes flashing as he stared at the map.

“Yes, I’m capable, not stupid. We can take a side route and then detour heading west towards The Aethirian Ocean.” Flynn advised.

“I’m with the Captain on this one.” Raiden said quietly. “The waters of the Lifeless Abyss are dangerous and we won’t make it through it in one day. Being there at night is a death wish. No man has survived a journey through it.” “So The Siren Killer is scared to brave siren infested waters?” Ryan asked mockingly.

“It’s a reckless move, is what I’m saying.” Flynn growled.

I wasn’t stupid… I know exactly what those waters held… I also knew the risk, and Flynn wasn’t wrong, it was a death wish… But only if you let it be. I had travelled these waters in the past when I wanted to find someone, and maybe deep down I wanted her to make her appearance once more…

I looked out at the dark water as the three discussed it.

To find her… to get revenge for what she did… Her face was one I wouldn’t ever forget…

A burning surge of anger flared inside of me, and my eyes flashed with hatred. “We go through the Lifeless Abyss, end of discussion.” I spoke with finality, turning away, when my eyes fell on Yileyna. She was gripping the edge of the ship, leaning over dangerously. Charlene stood next to her, seemingly saying something, but the two guards didn’t seem to be paying attention to Yileyna.

My heart skipped a beat and a wave of worry rippled through me, it almost looked like she was intrigued by something… 1 “Yileyna!” I growled, her head jerked up with a start and she moved away from the edge, her chest rising and falling heavily as I brushed past Ryan and Flynn. I pushed away the mix of emotions inside of me, focusing on my anger, which replaced everything else. I feel nothing. The only thing within me was hatred, rage and anger. That was all I needed, the only thing that would fuel my goal. “Yileyna, are you ok?” Charlene asked, cupping her friends face.

She had just been standing there without a care, and now she was going to act worried? Useless,

“What were you doing?” I asked Yileyna harshly, yanking her away from Charlene,

She looked up at me. Her face looked pale, her eyes full of confusion, as if she herself had no idea what was going on.

“You should be more responsible. When will you ever grow up?” I asked coldly, “I don’t know, I didn’t mean to. I was just looking at the water,” She mumbled,

I could feel all eyes on us, everyone knew that Charlene was the daughter of the Alpha and Yileyna was her friend. Although both were as useless and stupid as one another. Well almost, at least Yileyna was a good fuck for distraction, but even that in itself pissed me off.

“You both need to be more careful, if I see anything stupid again, I will make sure you are both kept in your cabins.” I finished coldly.

“Honestly, stop acting like something happened. I’m fine. What is your problem?” Yileyna shot back, irritation clear in her voice.

I clenched my jaw. Even Raiden and Ryan didn’t disrespect me, yet here she was, I guess being of Beta blood still made her think she was fucking equal to me. Well Beta or not, she wasn’t

“My problem is, I’m the one who has to answer to the king. But then again, I’m sure he won’t fucking care if we are one member less. If you really want to die, carry on as you are, in fact, I wouldn’t mind pushing you overboard myself.”

tried to pull free, but I only pulled her close. “Let go of me, Theon.” She growled, and I saw her gaze flickering
