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

6. A New Perspective

THEON

My mate?

I could hear my heart beating violently in my ears. Her words and the pain that ripped me apart internally shocked me to the core.

She was mine…

But with the mate bond sealed, 1 had never realised. Now the jerking away and the struggle I often saw her in made sense. It wasn’t her hatred, although I knew that was there, it was the bond.

The night when she released her powers she must have realised. I remember the look of pure shock in her eyes before she had been knocked out.

What kind of game are you playing Selene?

I saw Arabella approach her, knowing she was about to do something to her limp body, I forced myself to sit up. Although I was in enough agony to pass out, there was something about these cuts that were burning me up, the pain spreading through me and up my neck They made my head squeeze in agony. 1

“Don’t do anything! Bring her to me.” I growled, unable to move with the intense pain.

Arabella paused. With her long black hair, dark eyes, and ashy skin, she gave me the same unnerving feeling that I always felt around her. 1 The men obeyed me, bringing her body to me. I pulled her into my arms, feeling her heart thudding faster than it should be, her hair was its usual blonde once more. She had transformed, even if not fully, but her teeth… her hair… her claws…. I’m sure they had seen it, but I knew even if no one else saw it properly, Arabella would have and she would make the link knowing she was a siren.

The warmth of her body made me want to hold her tightly, but I was unable to, not with so many watching, my own body was becoming heavier.

Her rejection still rang in my mind, the pain that had been on her face and in her voice pulled viciously at my heart. I did this, I broke her in ways worse than I could have ever imagined.

“Alpha Theon, you are injured.” Arabella murmured. “Remove the seal upon me. Now.” I growled, ignoring her statement.

“Alpha Theoden has not given me the-”

My eyes blazed as I looked up at her, my gaze full of hatred. “I’m the one who agreed for him to have those seals placed on me, and if I say I fucking want them gone, I mean gone!” I growled murderously.
