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

33. In the Comfort of Another HUNTER. All evening the unease within me was growing, the full moon was glaring at me, mocking me and taunting me.

No, I didn’t want a chosen mate…

but deep down a part of me selfishly thought of the possibility of a dream coming true…

A dream where I was mated to none other than Charlene…

I was avoiding facing her under the full moon, but it didn’t matter, she was mine.

She always would be, but the fear of the slight chance of someone stealing her from me would remain.

I had sent Raiden to deliver them some drinks, but it was high time I went to find her and bring her to bed.

I was about to mind-link her when I saw her flaming hair as she walked towardsour tent.

My heart thundered as an intense scent filled my nose, and my wolf howled.

The urge to rush to Charlene's side consumed me, and then she suddenly froze, sniffing the air before all colourleft her face and she turned, about to rush away when I ran over and grabbed hold of her arm.

4 Blinding sparks coursed through me as I tried to focus.

"Not so fast, Princess..." I whispered huskily, spinning her around towards me.

One truth was crystal clear.

Even in the eyes of Selene, she was fated for me.

5 "Hunter..." She breathed, letting out a breath, and I realised what she had been trying to do, run from her mate.

She gripped my arms, resting her head against my chest.

“Thank you, Goddess.” She whispered.

I let go of her arm and cupping her face, forced her to look up at me.

"You're mine and no one can steal you from me." I said quietly.

The bond was complete, and the rush of it strengthening jarred me.

I never thought our love and connection could get stronger.

She shook her head.

"No one could steal me from you, even before this bond.

I would never have left you, and I never will, bond or not.

I love you, Hunter.” My Luna…

'I love you far more than I can ever express through words, Princess.’ I replied through thebond as my lips captured hers in a deep kiss.

This was a kiss I would always remember, deep, intense, yet full of love.

There was a time I didn't want my fated mate because I didn’t want it to be the reason to love someone…

but I was blessed to have fallen in love with my fated mate before she was even shownto be mine...

My true mate, my Luna, my love, my intoxication…

We broke apart, and for a while, I simply held her, until she moved back and smiled softly.

"I don't want to ruin this moment but..." "What's wrong?" “Thea’s mate is here, and he…

hesitated.’ She whispered, making anger rush through me.

The urge to protect my sister from anything made my eyes blaze.

“Name?” I growled menacingly.

2 “Hunter, calm down…

He just needs time." "So, you know him well? Is he one of your previous packmembers?" She cupped my face, tilting her head.

"Calm down, my love." She whispered, tugging me closer and kissing my lips.” Shall we go watch over Thea? I’m worried.” “She sharesa tent with the Queen, does she not?" "She isn't there." She replied, but she was worried, I could see that in her eyes.

I frowned but nodded, and we walked towards the tent.

Thea was awake so I sat outside the tent, pulling Charlene down in front of me.

"Let me tell you a story about the first time I fought a Naga….” I suggested clearly, knowing Thea would not be able to ignoreus even if she wanted.
