My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance Chapter 125

35. A Futile Attempt YILEYNA My eyes flashed and it was almost as if we moved as one. Both Theon and I raised our hands,Theon's glow swirling around his sword as I raised a wall of ice.

The Naga slammed into it, before the ice was cracked by Theon’s sword slamming through and into the Naga’s stomach.

T

My heart thumped.

His move shocking me.

Sure, the barrier was not the same ice that I encased the castle with, but for him to breakit so easily...

He was strong, and it confirmed that he held back during our training too…

I shook my head, looking for a way to get closer.

If I could encase his body in ice…

"Yileyna!" Hunter shouted just as the Naga's tail slammed into me.

I went flying as Theon sliced its tail off and I flipped in the air, landingon my feet.

I touched the sludgy water with my hand, sending ice through it and letting it wrap around the Naga’s tail, he hissed shoving Theon off him.

He was injured but it wasn’t fatal.

"Stop." I commanded, raising my hand and creating a shield of ice.

"We are not here to kill." I wasn't sure it'd work, Hunter and Theon were both holding their swords ready, their eyes flaming and theirauras blazing around them.

"You do not venture into the lands of Naran, where you are not welcome.” The Naga hissed.

It was the first time I had heard one speak.

His voice was deep and raspy, and his cold, sinister glare was trained upon me as he struggled against the ice that encased the tip ofhis tail and spread upwards.

"We would not have if we had any other choice." I replied firmly.

His lips curled maliciously.

"Then you will die here!" "They hold no compassion; they are more monster than human.” Hunter warned coldly.

The Naga smiled and turned his attention to him.

"We like the kill..." His voice was darker and more sinister, and then he suddenly lunged at me.

"Don't!" I said to the men, raising a barrier that the Naga smashed into.

“You will die!” He hissed, slithering around the barrier.

I stepped back as he stretched to his limits, his lower body frozen in the ice as he thrashedaround.

He roared, venom dripping from his fangs as he lunged at me once more, not caring about the damage to his tail.

I was ready for him.

He ripped free from the ice, his body bloodied, but before he even reached me, Hunterand Theon attacked, decapitating his head and piercing his heart.

I closed my eyes as his deep greenish blood splashed across my face.

"Do you men think killing is the only option? I was trying to talk to him!” I said as the Naga’s body dropped into the sludgewith a thick splash.

S

“He isn’t one we could have talked to.

Look at the mark on his neck? He has been deemed a criminal by the empire itself.”Hunter said quietly.

I sighed, wiping my face and staring at the green blood.

I was trying…

I exhaled but said nothing.
