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

“Can you hear me, Yileyna?” The king asked, taking a seat on the bed, placing his hands on his knees as he turned towards us both. “I asked you; how are you feeling?” “I’m fine.” Yileyna replied, sounding hostile.

Although she was trying to control her emotions, it was obvious that she was angry with Dad. I looked between them, realising their eye colour was so similar… How was this possible?

Who was Yileyna’s mother?

“I heard you had Gamma Grayson locked away. What are his crimes?” Yileyna asked. Gamma Grayson… He was my father… I swallowed hard, thinking what would happen from here on out? What would happen to me?

“Betraying his king and having an illicit relationship with his Luna. It is an insult to me, the Alpha!” Dad growled, his eyes blazing. Yileyna nodded. “Will you too serve prison time for your own illicit affair, which is an insult to your Luna?” She asked, blinking innocently. 1

Dad’s face almost turned purple at that blatant insult.

I almost smiled. There was a time I had to hold Yileyna back, knowing Dad would get angry, but now I could tell he was trying to keep his temper in check. He had to tolerate her now.

Go Yileyna. “I am Alpha! I don’t need to prove anything to anyone!” He thundered. Yileyna shook her head.

“No, as Alpha, you are the one who should set an example… Gamma Grayson is a good person, and with the current times, you need all the support you can get. Gamma Grayson and Zoe were not fated mates… but you and the Luna were. Yet you both betrayed one another. If Gamma Grayson is in prison for cheating, then all three of you need to be there together.” She said, crossing her arms. 3 An alpha female. How had I not seen it before?

Confident, proud, and just.

Dad glared at her, yet said nothing for a moment, before exhaling deeply. He then shook his head, before grinning and slapping her on the back so hard she almost fell off the bed. I winced, Dad often forgot his own strength. “Answered like a true Alpha!” He chortled. I had never seen this side of him.

I knew at that moment why Dad was acting the way he was. He was going to make Yileyna his successor,

Her powers… She was the heart.

I was happy for her, I truly was. I think I am a little disappointed that we aren’t blood-related, but it’s ok, we are still sisters. We always have been, and we always will be. 7 I don’t know what Dad wanted to do with me… Would he cast me aside? Would he order me to leave, as he did Yileyna when her parents were branded traitors? Dad had always treated me well, although I never did as good as he wanted. It had always been Mom who looked down at me, to think she’s the one who was my biological parent…

Yes, Dad didn’t seem to have much faith in me but I wondered what would happen from here.

It was frustrating to know Mom had treated me harshly when I was doing fine. For a werewolf, I’m sure I was doing well. How could she be like that? I blinked when I realised Yileyna had taken my hand and pulled me up from my seat. She scooted aside, pulling me to sit between her and Dad.
