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

41. Helplessness THEON. She protected us and let them take her. She risked herself for us. Leaving me fuckingruined. Two days had passed.

Hunter and I were at Alpha Romeo's pack, we had snuck in last night, only to find that Raiden, Zarian,and Hunter's men had never arrived.

I was fucking sick with worry, for Yileyna, Thea, and somehow for the rest.

Knowing what Theoden was capable of only made things worse.

What had they told him? If any of them were smart enough, they would have madesure not to mention me, because right now, I was the only one who would be able to get into Westerfell, and I was ready to kill him.

We were now having dinner with Alpha Romeo, although all I wanted was to shift and go find Yileyna.

Each passing second felt like an hour, and with each moment, a thousand thoughts crossed my mind.

I hadn't slept nor rested, and no matter how much times Hunter told me I needed to, I couldn’t.

I was going insane waiting.

I forced myself to eat, but I couldn't taste anything.

The memory of her soft lips and the way she tasted lingered in my mind.

I wanted to hold her again, fucking kiss her and tell her that yeah, maybe we could be something.

I was just too fucking late to even tell her that.

Romeo sighed deeply, pouring us some more wine.

"I never thought the day would come..." He murmured gravely.

Hunter, with a little input from me, had filled him in on everything.

He was the strongest of the alphas who was loyal to Andres, and someone who would now become a source of power.

"Why were you so loyal to Andres? He was not a great king.” I asked after a moment, drinking some of the wine.

"He had his faults, but Andres was not a bad man.

He conquered the middle kingdom for the benefit of us all, he was young and I remember him fighting for not only his pack, but others.

That is why we supported him.

When we were too afraid to fight the Dark Ones, Andres was not, he and Theoden…

they were the ones brave enough to venture out, but Andres was a people’s person, whilst Theoden…

something about him just wasn't right..." His words hung in the air ominously.

Yeah…

Even I could see Andres was just a fool in some ways, but Theoden was pure evil.

The lights from the lanterns flickered, as Romeo sighed again.

"My army is yours, but Theoden has the entire territory surrounded.” “I have a plan, don’t worry about that, but it will take a littletime." Hunter replied with a frown, running his fingers through his beard.

I knew he was worried about Charlene.

His only reassurance was he didn't feel any pain, meaning Charlene was safe.

I just hoped I could say the same for my Little Storm.

“I leave at first light, Theoden’s gathering is soon.

Something big is about to go down and I need to get there first.” I said firmly.

"Theoden may be suspicious that you have strayed from his side.

Are you sure venturing in there alone is wise?" Hunter asked quietly.

I frowned.

My mind was made up, I was going to face him…

He had taught me to hide all emotions, but even then, I wasn’t sure I’d beable to fool him, although I would still try.

I held onto the necklace with the small pouch at the end.

The pearl of the Sea Emperor…

Somehow wearing it gave me strength, and I was healing, my wounds no longer bled and the area around them was mending.

"It may not be wise, but even if he doesn't trust me, he won’t try to get rid of me upfront.

I'm stronger than he is." "Theon, it's still a risk." Hunter said firmly.

I looked him square in the eye, placing my empty glass down.

"Our women, sister, and our people are in his clutches.

After what Thea has been through, I'm fucking going crazy not knowing what’s happening.

Charlene may be safe, but what is the guarantee that the others are? I’m leaving at dawn, end of discussion.” “I understandthat, but if anyone mentioned you were there with them." "Then he knows, I don't really care.

I’m going to Westerfell.
