My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance Chapter 82

82. Inner Conflict

THEON

The preparations for the evening event were in full swing. I had left the castle late in the afternoon, having things to do around the city. I now blended in, sticking to the shadows as I made my way to a certain location where I was to meet Dad again. I had stopped at the jeweller’s on the way here, even if it was not real… I planned on giving her a ring that I paid for rather than one the king had chosen… 3 ‘You will be engaged to Yileyna.’ Andres’ words from earlier echoed in my mind.

Yileyna… There would be nothing disappointing in being tied to Yileyna… Waking and falling asleep to her face every night… In an ideal world, that would be perfection, a dream come true… but there was so much more to this than that. A dream of a content and complete life did not exist.

She was a pawn to use in both Andres’ and Dad’s games… all for the ultimate goal, one of victory and power.

A power that should have been ours from the start.

But was it worth risking Yileyna’s life over?

No.

Fuck.

I had made the one mistake I shouldn’t have. Fallen victim to a woman’s seduction. This was why my mate bond was sealed alongside my powers, yet I still fell for her. Hard. Last night I almost messed up, I had almost blown my cover in my partially drunken state, but deep down there had been a part of me that had wanted her to know… 3

Who was I trying to fool? I’ve never had an issue with holding my liquor, ever.

I had wanted to her to know that although I’m no fucking angel, we weren’t the ones entirely in the wrong. But the biggest thing was her parents… not only were they collateral in this entire situation, but I had wanted them out of the picture, having them killed to make sure the king relied on me with William gone.

If she knew…

I sighed in frustration. 1

“What troubles you, son?” A deep voice said from behind me.

My eyes widened slightly, we were only a few metres away from the walls to the city, still in Westerfell. I wasn’t expecting him to be here. We had agreed to meet down by the coast. For Dad to be so close at such a time when security was tight, he was indeed very confident in himself.

“Nothing.” I said, turning quietly. I walked deeper into the shadows until I stopped face-to face with him.

I saw the enchantment in his hand as he whispered something, activating the spell, and a dark smoke wrapped around us. A spell of concealment, no one would see or hear us now.

“Don’t lie to me, son.”

His voice was calm, yet there was a clear warning in it.

“There is nothing troubling me, there’s just been a lot of change within the castle, and I just want to make sure nothing comes in the way.” I lied smoothly.

He raised an eyebrow. “Changes?”
