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

30. Reuniting YILEYNA. The legion approaching burst from the trees, and it was an impressive sight. One of ünity and strength.

and although he had hidden his identity, I did not hold it against him, nor did I blame him. Their situation was unfair, and there was a lot of work to do to unite the kingdoms on this side of the great oceans. I had just told them of the Emperor's wish, without disclosing what the pearl could achieve. "That is risky, going to Naran is..." "A death wish." Hunter said, sitting forward. "But I understand it's needed. A small team will be far more efficient, an army would be intercepted and attacked." Although he had gave Thea a smile here and there, they hadn't talked. Neither had he and Theon, but I knew that was a conversation simply waiting to happen. "I don't mind going alone, if I have to, any guidance would be welcome." I replied. "You aren't going alone." Theon added firmly. "If you are planning on going, I would argue against that. I don't trust you." Ryan sneered coldly. His anger was justifiable. "I will come with you." Raiden said, his eyes flashing. "I'll decide... Alpha Hunter, what can you tell me about the difficulties of entering Naran?" Hunter sighed, his arm wrapping around Charlene's shoulders. "It's not going to be easy, the forestry is very dense, at some points it's physically hard for most to even pass through the trees. Humid, suffocating, and full of deadly creatures. Getting in means they'll know from the starting point, Nagas are dangerous things, but they do fear Sirens, you will have that one up on them as you know the way they have their lands protected..." "Makes it hard for Sirens to even venture to their territory..." "Yes, their poison won't kill sirens as it would werewolves or Fae, Mages are also at an advantage with their magic." Hunter continued. I almost smile as he looked down at Charlene, giving her a special smile. My queen was in love, and it made me happy. She deserved the best and it was clear Hunter treated her well. I returned my attention to the topic at hand when Theon spoke. He had been silent for the most part, indifferent to the hatred and comments he received. "So then only I will go, Yileyna, and a selected few others." "I will be going, I am not leaving her with you." Raiden added icily. "Theon has done nothing but take care of her." Thea added defensively, although she had remained silent for the most part. 3 Their eyes met and she glared at him. 2 "You know nothing of your brother's crimes." Raiden said, his voice softer despite the firmness of his words. "I know, because I know exactly how Theoden treated him, he hasn't only made Theon hurt others, but himself. You know nothing about my brother, so at least trust the Alpha Queen's verdict, if she trusts Theon-" "Stop it, Thea." Theon said quietly. "We all know that the Queen's judgement may be a little... clouded." Ryan added, making my own eyes flash, until Gamma Grayson growled. 1 "Cut it out, Ryan! Look, Yileyna has come this far, and Theon being by her side is proof enough! We abide by the Alpha's command." I exhaled, resisting the urge to pinch the bridge of my nose. Goddess, this was stressful! "I don't want to be an Alpha whose command is absolute, that is why we have a council, for advice... Theon will accompany me, however if Alpha Hunter can give me any advice, maps, directions, anything, I will be truly grateful. The rest will continue as you had planned. Gathering our allies is a must for the battle we will have to fight." I looked at Hunter, who nodded. "I will go with you, no one knows Naran better than I do." He looked at Charlene and I felt guilty seeing the worry on her face, but I needed his help too. Any help I could get... f Charlene looked at me and smiled. I realised now I didn't have the mind link with her any longer. Oh how short those moments were, we once used to joke how we'd talk day and night when we attained our mind links. Life truly was different from how we pictured it. "Who else?" Gamma Grayson asked. "The less the better." Hunter replied, frowning. "Theon..." Thea murmured, and I knew she wanted to go. "You will be safe here little one, don't worry." Hunter said to her, giving her a small smile. "You can keep Charlene company." II Thea looked at her, then at Theon and me, and I gave her a comforting smile. "I trust her with my life." I told her, before looking over at Raiden. "My Beta will make sure you are safe too." "I don't really want to stay here..." She trailed off frustrated, and Theon pulled her close. "You will be safe, I can't take you to Naran where lam uncertain of what will happen." He said quietly. She nodded in defeat, frowning slightly. "Theon... For someone who saw Westerfell from the other side, what is the state of our people?" Gamma Grayson asked him. , Theon frowned and I realised it was a question I had never asked him myself. Yes, I knew the warriors were all locked up, yet I saw many of our wolves carrying on as normal. "The warriors who stayed true to the Silver Storm pack were in the cells, some who were vocal... were beaten or killed." "So then we have no men who will be inside those
