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

27. This Fire

THEON.

Yileyna being there had been enough to control me from unleashing hell worse than I did. The moment she told me she sensed some life force, I left. I needed to find Thea, if she died… once again I’d have failed. I was meant to protect her but I didn‘t. I only ever make matters worse. :

I wouldn‘t forgive Dad, and when we came face to face, I was going to kill him. Iyara... Thea… Yileyna... every single person that he had hurt. He would pay for those fucking crimes.

I recognised some of the women he had sold, girls of our pack… We were meant to protect them, and instead he sold them for power.

I had been around Andres for two years and he had come to trust me, but although he was a fool, he was nowhere near as twisted as Dad is. A man who I no longer wanted to refer to as my father.

I reached the rocky terrain, and it took me a while to locate the narrow entrance. The moment I managed to squeeze in, my heart thudded as a familiar scent hit me.

“Thea!” I shouted, my voice ringing off the cavern.

“Theon?” A hoarse whisper came. 2

I looked around the dark cavern as I went further in, only to see two women bound in silver as they lay on the floor, beaten and bruised. One woman I didn‘t recognise... but the other…

Even bloody and older than how I last remembered her, was none other than my sister.

“Thea...” I rushed to her side, summoning all my strength and tearing the chains from her, feeling blood seep down my chest from my own wound but I didn’t care, the physical pain was nothing compared to the pain inside of me.

“Thea, thank the goddess.” I whispered, pulling her into my arms. 1

She was skinny, beaten, and bloody, but she was alive.

“Theon!” She gasped, clinging to me tightly as she kissed my shoulder and cheek. “Theon you‘re here... you came for me.”

I looked into her bloodshot amber eyes and saw the tears she refused to shed, her black hair a matted mess. I knew without her having to say anything she had been through hell.

“I should have come sooner.” I whispered before pulling her close once again.

She clung to me, her entire body shaking from emotions. Emotions far too strong to put into

words.

All that mattered was that she was alive. Fuck, she was alive.

With the relief came the cold reminder that she could have been killed.

“Come on, let‘s get you out of here.” I said, looking at the other woman who lay unmoving.

“It‘s the previous Luna. She has a heart of gold,” she explained quietly.

I frowned as I broke her free and stood up. Thea got to her feet, and I lifted the woman, who was in a far worse state than Thea, placing my free arm around my sister‘s waist to support her.

Theoden was fucking dead. 5

Three hours had passed, and the fire had been doused. Everyone had been tended to and was now resting. Thea had fainted halfway out of the cavern, and I had carried her back to Yileyna. When I had told her it was indeed Thea, the happiness on her face made something inside of me stir. I wanted to yank her close and tell her how fucking thankful I was for her.

She had grown. She truly was no longer the girl she once was, but a strong woman, who was facing the fucking world.

We were now in one of the houses that the Luna had offered us. She was still weak, yet she had

submitted her allegiance to Yileyna.

I was sitting on the bed where Thea was sleeping, stroking her matted hair, wondering what she had been through, when the bathroom door opened and a thick wave of steam escaped.

But it was the woman who stepped out that made my breath hitch.

Yileyna stood there, towelling her hair, dressed in red panties which I could see through the oversized white cotton shirt, which outlined her breasts, her stiff nipples clear against the cotton of her shirt, making me throb...
