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

A Burning Regret

THEON

The weather was pleasant, and the sea was calm. It was the following day after the attack, and night had fallen. Everyone was sitting on the deck enjoying the music Leto was playing. Tankards of hot mead sat on the tables in front of us, with platters of snacks as we enjoyed the calm. Two sirens had approached hours after that attack, but after a word with Yileyna, they had swum away. I still don‘t know how to feel about them. For them to not attack us was... strange. Her words and concern when she had turned back to us were still fresh in my mind.

‘We should be safe from here, the sirens and my guards will keep an eye beneath the surface but... even they don‘t know why the Leviathan was after us. It is not meant to be anywhere near here.‘

The Leviathan... Something about it niggled at my mind. When she had encased it in ice, the darkness I had felt from it... it felt oddly familiar to the darkness I feel around Arabella... but how was that even possible? A witch, even a dark one, couldn‘t control a monster created by a god, especially to make it come after us... 4

The Leviathan was meant to stay in the depths of the ocean. Why would it attack Yileyna, someone who was tied to the sea? Everyone now knew what Yileyna was, and to my surprise they accepted her, seeing her for who she was and not her being a siren. But it wasn‘t so surprising, the crew of The Siren Killer were quite diverse, and they didn‘t see others by their race but for who they are.

Although it had been pretty surprising to them that they had accepted it. It was impressive how she was able to win everyone over.

As for me... I was unable to forget about what happened between us, the way she had moaned... the way she had obviously wanted me... Fuck, just the thought made me hard.

Even now she was dancing with Cleo, whilst Leto strummed his guitar as he sang his sea shanties.

I listened to the words, my eyes on Yileyna, she was far more beautiful than I could put into words. The changes in her appearance only made her sexier and it was fucking hard being around her. Her eyes remained in that multitude of iridescent colours, and even just looking into them made me lose myself.

Right now, she was wearing a white dress that just about covered her ass, her corset accentuating her curves. Her sensual laugh reached my ears as Cleo spun her around, giving me the perfect view of her. Damn her breasts were fucking fine...

Remembering the feel of her body against mine, I forced myself to look away, feeling pleasure rush south. I picked up my tankard, downing it. I looked back at her, only for our eyes to meet. Her heart skipped a beat, but I refused to look away, or I just wasn‘t able to...

There was no way that we could be together, not after everything I had done, but why did the urge to pull her close, apologise, and fuck her senseless, consume my mind?

Regardless... I still needed to apologise properly for actions that I truly regretted. I stood up, shooting pain rushing through my chest as I did, but I didn‘t let it. show on my face, I had become accustomed to it. I walked to the edge of the boat, just as the sound of footsteps approached. I frowned, knowing who it was before they even spoke. “Can I get you anything, Commander?” Barbara asked. 2 “No.” I replied curtly, not sparing her a glance. I knew exactly what she wanted, and if I wasn‘t so fucking hung over Yileyna, I would have taken her offer. But the only woman I wanted was her, and I knew none other would cut it for me.

The moment Barbara put her hand on my arm, my eyes snapped to her, flashing dangerously. “Do not touch me.” I almost growled, trying my fucking best to keep my voice down. “Are you sure? You seem tense.” She squeezed my shoulder, and I clenched my jaw, knowing my muscles were all knotted up. “One hundred fucking percent sure.” I shot back, moving away from her and walking away towards the back of the ship, away from them all. I could feel Yileyna‘s eyes on me, but I didn‘t turn back.

I once said we were heaven and hell... but now we were further apart. We were still the opposites of one another, but only now that distance between us was far bigger.

The sound of light footsteps on the wood and her intoxicating scent filled my nose, I clenched my jaw.
