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

12. Distrust

THEON

“How could you lose her?!” Dad roared at Arabella, who had her head bowed, almost as if wanting to flinch, but she remained in her position, her head down. “Both of you!”

His orange eyes turned on me, but I remained indifferent. I had been dragged back from the coast, but even now the panic that was consuming me was outweighing the fact that I had rejected her.

I felt empty, but it was ok. I had been emotionless, simply a shell for vengeance until she had made a place inside of me. Maybe I was just not meant for anything more than this. 1

I just hope she was safe. 1

I wish I had dived into the water, but I was fucking useless, unable to even swim because a siren‘s injury was far more dangerous and powerful than an ordinary injury, and my Little Storm had fucking dug deep. I deserved it though; I had hurt her far more than these mere injuries. She could do this ten times over and it would never be enough... 2

The bruises that covered her body, the lashes on her back... Anger blistered within me, and only when Dad shouted did I snap out of my dark thoughts.

“GET OUT!” Dad thundered at Arabella, she bowed her head before she left the room. “Fucking useless!”

He slammed his fist into the ice that was now melting away, creating large cracks through it.

I remembered the question between him and Arabella, the way she had addressed him as Master and the way he had called me a fool… Things like that were not something that I was just going to forget.

“Calm down, I‘ll bring her back.” I replied coldly, knowing I needed to keep up the facade, as if I didn‘t know what he had called me.

He looked at me keenly.

“How did she escape? Where did she go?” He asked.

Was he hinting at the ocean?

“Into the water, but I‘ll find her… I saw what she partially became before she attacked me.” I said, forcing as much disgust into my voice as possible.

He tensed before nodding.

“Ah yes, of course, I wanted to discuss this with you.”

Oh really? I heard you say to keep it from me.

“I know how much you hate sirens, as do I, after all it‘s because of them that we lost your sister and Nathalia.” He growled.

I nodded, “Then let‘s find her and kill her as we promised. All sirens must die.” I said, crossing my arms despite the agony in my chest at that simple move.

I heard the faint change in his heartbeat before he calmed it almost instantly.

“You learned she was your mate… Are you willing to kill her?” He asked me sharply.

“Of course, she‘s nothing to me.” I scoffed resentfully.

She was fucking everything to me, but I didn‘t have the right to be possessive of her anymore. ,

Dad frowned, watching me for a moment, but I remained indifferent and came over, sighing in relief.

“I’m olad… For a moment I thought you would bend because she was your mate.” He patted my shoulder, and I resisted the urge to speak my mind.

He was right, I had changed in two years. All my adolescent years I had trained to hide my emotions, so when the time came, I would be able to deal with Andres. It was something I had mastered skilfully. Now. I would use the same on him,
