My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance Chapter 115

25. A Coaward’s Words YILEYNA

His apology had shaken me, but it wasn‘t the words he spoke that had gotten to me, it was the emotion in it, the pain in his eyes and the obvious regret. It gave me some clarity. Even when Ailema had comforted me, I realised Theon was also suffering, far more than he showed. I had wanted to go to him, but my own emotions had overwhelmed me, the pain I felt... how could I still care for him despite what he had done? Even if he regretted it and was misguided, it confused me. There was pain and love within me, paired with the intense desire to pounce upon him.

I needed to control myself. This hunger for his physical touch was beginning to scare me, and although I wondered if another man‘s touch would help, I couldn‘t do it.

He consumed my heart and mind.

The following day, the mention of that apology was not brought up again, but I felt a bit lighter. I just wish I had Mom or Dad‘s view on things, what would they advise me? Deep down I knew the answer to that, my parents had raised me well but I just wish they were here.

We had arrived at Eastcourt, and despite it being a big city, it was not as welcoming or busy as Westerfell. We split from the crew and Theon, and I made our way towards Lochfox.

We had cloaks on and had our hoods up. Thanks to Flynn‘s distraction, we were able to sneak away with the help of heavy fog.

We had travelled by foot, and we were away from the city, I glanced over at Theon frowning. I had suggested shifting twice, but he had refused. “I don‘t think a bright white wolf with a fluffy tail is going to blend in.” He remarked after the third time I suggested it.

“Oh really? Or are you just afraid that I‘ll be faster?” I challenged. “The fog will hide us.”

“We travel by foot.”

I frowned and came to a stop.

“We are wasting time, Theon.”

“Then shall we take horses?” He shot back, his irritation rising.

I was about to argue when I frowned, turning and looking up at him sharply. “Is it because you are unable to shift?” I asked, stopping in my tracks. His heart skipped a beat, it was slight and his face remained almost the same, but I had caught it.

“I just don‘t want to–“.

I cut him off, placing a finger to his lips as my gaze dipped to his chest.

“Theon... how are you not healing?” I asked, frowning as I grabbed his shirt, ready to push it up, only for him to stop me.

His grip on my wrist was tight yet not painful.

“I‘m fine, it‘s just a small injury. We carry on, on foot.” He growled.

“I want to see it. How did it happen?”

Our eyes met and I could see he was mulling it over. “As I said, let it go, we are wasting time.” “No. We are wasting time because you are behaving stubbornly. Stop being so childish, Theon!” I snapped, my frustration growing.

His eyes flashed gold as he glared at me. “Fine. It happened when you rejected me.”

My eyes flew open in shock as I stared at him in sheer surprise. I felt as if someone had just slapped me across the face.

The memory of that moment returned to me, finding out the truth about my parents and then losing it. I had dug my nails into him and ripped through his chest, with the aim to kill... So all this time, he hadn‘t healed?

“No.”
