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

40. In His Grasp YILEYNA. "Well, well, well... We meet again.” I tried to control myanger as I stared at the man before me.

I was chained to the wall, the taste of blood in my mouth almost making me sick.

T Once again, I was in the cells of the castle of Westerfell.

"Inevitably we were going to." I spat, looking at none other than the monster Theoden himself.

I had been dragged back here several days ago, and every day they tried to break meor demand to know who was with me out there.

Arabella was no werewolf, and she had not smelt Theon from me, but even when Ihad been beaten, I refused to speak.

They could whip me and beat me, but nothing could break me, or so I thought.

That was until they stooped lower and threatened to kill children from the Silver Storm.

I knew they would follow through on their threat, so I said it was Hunter and one of his men, because I hada feeling Arabella had seen Hunter, since he had been stabbed.

It was safer to give them a partial truth than a complete lie.

They had bought it and I was relieved.

I couldn't let them know that Theon was out there, and that he knew the truth.

"Ah well, what a shame that fool was unable to protect you.

I'm sure this wasn't the way you thought it would be.” Theoden sneered as he stepped closer.

I smirked bitterly, "Well, I outsmarted your son, I will outsmart you too.” I spat.

He looked at me sharply, I kept a look of pure hatred and contempt on my face, praying he bought it.

"Theon found you?" "Almost, but he wasn't fast enough now, was he?” Theoden slapped me across the face hard, and I clenched my jaw.

I hadn't been given anything to eat or drink since I came here, and I was greatly weakened.

"What's wrong Theoden, angry that you and your son have nothing on me?” “I have the kingdom and your people before me.

You are the one with nothing.

So I have a proposal for you: Marry me and be my Luna, or the consequences will be great.” a His wordsmade my stomach twist sickeningly and my heart plummet.

No.

Goddess, no.

"Never." I hissed, my eyes flashing despite the silver and poison running through my veins.

“Oh? I will give you one day.

One day for you to change your mind, or the streets of Westerfell will run with the blood of the children of the Silver Storm Pack.” “No king treats hissubjects like this! Those children are yours to protect! You are already king, Theoden, aren't you enough without me? Why do you need me by your side?" His fist met my face, and I felt something crack, excruciating pain rushing through me.

I wish I had been able to contact the sirens...

We were right on the coast…

I had seen what Theoden had done to his own pack, not to mention his wifeand daughters.

No one was safe from his barbaric ways.

"Do not speak back to me! If you hadn't been the heart, I would have killed you the first time you started to seduce my son.” He hissed,grabbing my face.

I gritted my teeth, refusing to give him any satisfaction that he was hurting me, andglared coldly at the man before me.
