My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance Chapter 68

68. These Emotions

THEON

“Like her parents, she’s a traitor!” “Who would have thought someone so beautiful and sweet was working for the Obsidian Shadow pack? “Is it true, the amulet belonged to the Hale family?” “To the Alpha family of the Obsidian Shadow pack? Who would have thought.” “They should have her beheaded!” “Publicly!”

“I knew she should never have been allowed to become an epsilon rank warrior!”

“It’s because of her, Gamma Raiden Bolton is in critical condition!” “He tried to protect her from Theon of Westerfell and this is what happened…”

“Yes yes, Theon of Westerfell must have realised she was a traitor!” The distorted versions of the truth were already sifting through the crowd, as a path split through the throngs, allowing us to pass. How foolish were they blaming her for something I did? I needed to stick by Andres’ side, he was the only one who had power over Soleil’s command. The only one who held the power to not have Yileyna beheaded.

‘Make sure Yileyna De’Lacor is unharmed and untouched. Place her in the cells, and Patrick, I want you to watch her until the Alpha has further orders.’

I said through the link, knowing Andres hadn’t given any further order. He was one of the men I trusted enough to know he would not disobey me.

‘Yes Beta!

I frowned, Beta… A title I didn’t claim… If the princess and I had gotten engaged… I could have killed the king soon after and taken the throne. It had been so simple, I had been telling myself repeatedly to go through with it and then kill the Aphelion family. They deserved to

die, because of them I had lost so much…

“Andres, Alpha Andres!” Soleil’s voice hissed as she grabbed onto Andres’ arm.

His head jerked towards her as if suddenly brought out of a reverie.

There was something off about him…

“What is it?” He asked curtly, but he lacked his usual power and arrogance.

“The engagement.” She said coldly. “Now isn’t the time.” I replied impassively. Soleil turned, glaring at me for speaking, but before she could reply, Andres turned when we reached the entrance doors to the hall and looked around the room.

“Take rest, there will be no engagement tonight! But fear not, this engagement will happen!”

He called loudly and clearly. Not waiting for a reaction or reply, he turned and left the grand hall swiftly. “Theon, as your future mother-in-law, tell me, what is with you and De’Lacor?! You are to marry Charlene, yet you seemed to be besotted by the traitor.” Soleil hissed, now turning her attention to me, her voice shaking with rage. The day I slit her throat would be a day I was going to enjoy thoroughly…

“Soleil, go to our quarters, I have much to do. This engagement will happen, don’t worry about that. Just give me time to sort this mess out.” Andres said dangerously.

“You are acting strange, Andres.”

“Soleil, go.” His command was absolute. He removed the crown from his head and shoved it into Soleil’s hands. “Grayson!”

“Yes Alpha?” Grayson stepped forward, his eyes serious yet his face was as emotionless and professional as ever.

Andres paused as if trying to think of what he needed to say or do, only making me watch him sharply. His words ‘what have I done?’ stuck with me… his reaction to everything that had happened was intriguing. Had he figured out her truth? But if that was so, then why was he not ordering for Yileyna to be killed?

It was something else… but what?

“Make sure the Boltons are alright… Check up on Raiden and I will talk to Henry when he is ready.” Andres sighed heavily. “Theon, I will have a.word with you now. In my office.”

My brows furrowed, I was missing something, but what was it? 2

I gave a small nod, walking past him and up the stairs, heading towards his office.

Enjoy your time giving commands, Andres, for soon this crown, this title, and this kingdom will be mine.

The door shut behind Andres with a snap and he walked to his chair, dropping onto it as if carrying his own body had been exhausting. He ran his hand down his face, exhaling sharply. “Theon… Theon… Why?” He questioned silently. Our eyes met and I crossed my arms.

He didn’t need to announce what he meant, even if he had handled it calmly or didn’t react, it wasn’t a small matter.

“I have no excuse; I lost my temper and I attacked him.” He looked troubled before he placed his head in his hands. “Theon… You are to be future Alpha, alongside Charlene. You cannot hurt your future Gamma, Raiden is a good man.”
