My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance Chapter 124

34. Into Naran YILEYNA.

Four days had passed since we had ventured into the Nara Empire, the tightness of the trees and the humidity was suffocating, and worse there was no water, nothing to drink, what we carried was almost finished but we still continued. Theon was injured but still, he was far more bothered about me. Goddess, it hurt.

I didn’t understand what we were, but I decided there was no point in labelling us. We had somehow become one another’s confidants… I felt like I was seeing the real Theon and it was only making me admire him. Sometimes it was hard to tell what time of day it was, and although I was tempted to summon my powers, Hunter warned me not to. I looked at the huge snakeskin that dangled from a tree, and shuddered as Hunter pushed it aside as we walked through. “Is that a Naga skin?” I asked, disgusted. Sure we had seen other snake skins, but this was the largest I had seen. “Most likely…” Hunter murmured. “We are getting closer to the other side.” I could tell, the trees weren’t as thick, and the dark, dreary feeling was growing. “Drink.” Theon held out his water bottle, and I frowned as Hunter smirked. “Ah, sweet.” He taunted. 1 “Theon.” I growled.

I had snapped at Theon twice already for trying to save his water and give it to me, which he denied, saying he simply wasn’t thirsty. “I don’t want your water.”

He cocked a brow. “Why not? Only my lips have been on this. You’ve tasted everyth-”

I slapped my hand over his mouth, but Hunter was already smirking, as if this was amusing. “I said; I don’t want it.” I growled. “Seriously, do you two need to fuck it out of your system? Because if that’s the case, I could give you two some space and go keep watch?” . “Eww, no! Have you seen where we are?” I asked shuddering.

“Ah yeah, not the ideal location… but you didn’t oppose the idea of fucking.” . I didn’t miss the small smirk that crossed Theon’s face as I gave both men a cold glare.

“No one is fucking, and no one is going anywhere.” I retorted. “Well my girl’s not here anyway.” Hunter said making me smile. “Missing your beautiful Luna?” “Of course, but I’m happy she’s not here.” He replied, serious once more. “I know you want to protect Yileyna, Theon, but from the three of us, she’s the safest here. Naga fear sirens and Yileyna’s blood won’t be affected by their poison as fast. Keep your energy up and drink, she’s smaller than us and needs less.”

“I don’t need anyone’s advice.” Theon replied icily, it was obvious he didn’t want to talk about it.

We continued in silence until we stopped, reaching a dangerously steep cliff edge.

“Down there?” I asked.

Hunter nodded, and my heart skipped a beat when Theon took hold of my hand. Our eyes met before Hunter led the way. We had our cloaks on that blended in with our surroundings a little, so I put my hood up too, following Theon down the narrow edge. The view was dizzying.

Down below, it was far too dark to even see what was there. The sky looked murky and dark and there was just no wind.

Strange… “Be careful of your footing.” Hunter said quietly as we began making our way down…
