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

59. Her Pathetic Attempt

THEON

I had just showered after having trained with the men, I hadn’t even been able to face the princess so had told Madelia to handle training her today. My anger at just the thought of being tied to her made me physically sick. I hated her with such vengeance that I wished I could just kill her, I’m sure I could take over without the fucking heart of Kaeladia.

I wrapped a towel around my waist just as there was a knock on the door. My heart raced for a second, and deep down I prayed somehow that it was Yileyna. Just to look into those beautiful grey eyes of hers.

I wanted to see her again… but at the same time, I knew I couldn’t. I had to push her away. I opened the door, and my mood instantly darkened when I saw the woman before me.

“Theon, may I have a word?” Charlene asked, her eyes fixed on my face.

The look of determination in her eyes was something that you didn’t see often from her.

No, you fucking can’t. “Make it quick” I said, turning away from her. She stepped inside, partially closing the door. My eyes flashed as I turned, glaring coldly at her. “Why did you agree to Dad?” Her voice was serious, her eyes full of anger. I raised an eyebrow, smirking coldly. So this was what she was here for.

“Why are you so angry? If memory serves, you were always pretty infatuated with me.” I remarked coldly. 2

Her eyes flashed, and she glared at me. “The moment you and Yileyna started a relationship, those feelings were gone. Why did you agree? Why are you hurting her? She is such a good person, Theon. You are lucky to have her.” She whispered, keeping her voice low. I crossed my arms, not bothering to reply, but her words weren’t that wrong… I was lucky, because she did provide me with a mental break from the storm within my mind. A beautiful distraction.

“Please, Theon, don’t hurt her. What did Dad promise you? Because I promise you, when I’m Alpha, I will give-”

“When you’re Alpha? Really? You’re so useless, princess, that even your own father has no faith in you. I’m doing this for this kingdom, so when the time comes and that throne needs an Alpha King, it will have one who is worthy of it. If you weren’t so incompetent, this would never have happened. So congratulations princess, thanks to your uselessness, I decided to drop her.”

“No. No, I’m not marrying you. I don’t care, I will never let you mark me. Yileyna doesn’t know yet, but I’m going to tell her.” “Won’t that just hurt her?” I asked coldly. “Her knowing won’t stop it happening, now

you and Dad hurt her at the festival when Dad announced you as Beta.” She spat. So she had some fire in her.

tell me what will Yiléyna think, when she finds out it’s her own friend who will have her man?” I taunted mockingly. Her

She will believe me, and I won’t do this. I won’t. I may not be strong, but I won’t… I won’t…” She was shaking her head, her voice cold and determined. “I came to you because I thought we could come up with a plan… I thought… I thought Dad was threatening you, so you agreed, and I… We could have planned something. You deserve to be with who you want, Yileyna

become collateral damage… My heart squeezed at the thought, and I looked at the angry princess. “Well, it’s a shame that your visit was futile, I’m not backing down. This engagement will happen as planned.” I said coldly. My stomach churned at the thought, and I turned away from her. “Theon please, if you have even an ounce of feelings for Yileyna, and I know you do, then-”
