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

39. Upon Dying Lands YILEYNA. Another powerful green wave of energy erupted from the earth, and the sound of something crackingfilled the air.

“Stop!” I heard a distant roar of rage.

The sound of cracking became almost deafening, and I knew we had succeeded.

"We did it." I murmured in relief as I felt a surge of energy from below.

Then the Naga Emperor rose from within the ground, his power swirled around him as debris flewin all directions.

Theon tensed, his hand going to his sword, but I placed my hand on top ofhis as I stood up slowly.

"I did not expect this from you, since I had given you what you were seeking.” Emperor Kshuryaron saidin his deep, sinister voice, as his attention flickered to someone far behind us.

“Your majesty…” Someone murmured.

The emperor said something in snake tongue and I turned to see the Naga bow down to him.

“Queen Yileyna of Astalion…

your hand." Theon frowned as I held out my hand to the Emperor.

He raised it to his mouth, but where I was expecting him to kiss it, he sank his fangs into my finger, making Theon growl as he jumpedforward, but I grabbed hold of him.

Save the sharp sting it didn't hurt, and something told me it wasn’t poisoned.

I looked at my small finger, that now bore the two pinpricks of blood, watching as black symbols spread from the blood,and then I was healed.

The Emperor took hold of my wrist, raising my hand.

1 "She bears the mark of the Emperor, an insignia of one from Naran…

From this day forth, she will pass freely within our empire.” His voice was loud, powerful, and commanding.

I wasn't the only one who looked shocked, as I saw Hunter coming into view.

He was shirtless, only in a pair of pants.

His bloody sword was in his hand, as he assessed the situation quickly.

1 "I do ask for forgiveness, but I may have killed one of your sons in self-defence.” He said quietly.

The Emperor simply smiled coldly.

“Death awaited them anyway.

You may leave Naran, and from this day forth, we will stay on our side of the borders.” Hunter looked surprised, as bothhe and Theon watched me intensely.

"And the Naga may hunt for food on the border, we will work towards a better future.” Iadded.

"By freeing me, you have already done your part, Queen of the Middle Kingdom.

Naran will always be behind you." I bowed my head to Kshuryaron, who to my surprise bowed hisback.

“Thank you, your majesty.

We will head out, however, I will be in touch.

Break the dams upon your rivers, and I will make sure the sirens do not attack.

You have my word, just give me a little time." “Very well, I do not understand your kindness, but a Naga never forgetsa foe or friend." "Yeah trust me, I know." Hunter muttered.

I smiled and thanked Emperor Kshuryaron, before I turned towards the two Alphas who were watching me with almost matching unreadableexpressions.

I paused and looked back at the king.

"There is one more thing I need to do before I go.” “What is it, you have the pearl?” The Emperor’s reply came, but I didn’tlook at him, instead, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes...
