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

36. Nagas YILEYNA Our entry was no longer a secret. We fought the Nagas. They were relentless, : powerful andviolent. The worst part was that we had to be careful not to be poisoned by those fangs.

The two brothers had their auras wrapped around themselves, I think it was the first time they had fought side by side, anddespite the severity of the situation, they were competing against each other and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"I think that's eight." Hunter smirked, yanking his sword from yet another dead Naga..

"Nine...Oh wait, make it ten." Theon's husky deep voice came as he decapitated another Naga.

I would have said something if I wasn't busy making sure the Nagas didn’t get too close.

The Emperor's grandson was obviously trying to kill us, yet he was still smart enough to keep his own distance and sendhis men after us.

Ice may be my go-to power, but today I was channelling my connection to the earth.

Making the roots of the trees weave through the air like tentacles, wrapping around the bodies ofthe Nagas and pinning them to the ground.

I was trying not to kill anyone, but I had killed two when they got too close andI was unable to do anything but protect myself.

I gasped when the tail of a Naga wrapped around my ankle, dragging me down.

“Yileyna!” Theon shouted.

He turned instantly, his hair flicking across his forehead.

"I'm fine! Be careful!" I shouted back as he narrowly missed an attack.

My sword slipped from my hands when the Naga violently slammed me against a nearby tree, the taste of dirt and blood filling my mouth as I triedto focus.

I raised my hand, ready to kill, when a menacing growl filled the air and I saw Theon’s huge wolf bite into the Naga.

"NO!" I shouted as the Naga fell to the ground.

Theon's body slid under me as he caught me, dropping to the ground and taking the brunt of the fall.

I wasn't bothered about the Naga, but my heart was thudding in fear for Theon.

The blood of a Naga was not something a werewolf should ever digest.

"Theon!" He shifted, and I felt my heart squeeze painfully as he spat the blood out.

He was in a terrible state.

Even if he still looked godlike, his wounds had once again been torn open when he had shifted.

I created a barrier, grabbing his duffle bag and the water bottle, holding it to him withshaking fingers.

"Gargle and spit it out!" I shouted, my attention flickering to Hunter.

"I'm fine." Theon murmured after taking a gulp and spitting the water out.” Let’s kill these bastards.” I was angry, he shouldn’t have saved me, but now wasn’tthe time to argue.

Our eyes met, eyes filled with so much emotion…

I saw the tiniest hint of a smile on his face, that made my heart soar.

I took a deep breath, summoning every ounce of power I could.

The heart of Kaeladia belongs to all…

I belonged to this world…

and the world was a part of me…
