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

A Precious Surprise CHARLENE.

It was late when Theoden had entered the cells with a few men, pointing at a few of us and talking through the mind link. I wasn‘t sure what they were saying. My heart filled with fear as Raiden, Thea, and I were dragged from the cells, bound and blindfolded.

Where were they taking us? Gamma Grayson had been taken not long ago, and I was terrified to think where he may be. The beatings I had seen others go through terrified me, and just the memory of Raiden being tortured again made it hard to breathe. Luckily, Theoden hadn‘t seen my mark, the high–neck dress I had been wearing had hidden it, and when the guards had seen it afterwards, none cared about it. I was not a threat, but I knew if they even got wind of the fact that I was Hunter‘s mate, the consequences would be horrifying. Chosen or fated, they would not let me go. It was Hunter‘s name that was plastered across the resistance, and they hadn‘t hidden the fact they wanted him dead.

Now more than ever I needed to be safe, because I knew I was with child. I had missed my periods, but the slight nausea I had been feeling was the first sign. Although I had not thought much of it, it all fell into place when I had felt the faint butterfly sensation in my stomach. 5

I only wished that this had happened when I was with Hunter. We were going to become parents, yet here I was terrified, not knowing if my baby would survive or not. The wolfsbane and silver we were being injected with were of a high level, and although I prayed that our baby was ok, I was scared for its safety. 2

“Where are you taking us?” Thea hissed. She was the only one brave enough to argue with her father, and when I heard the sound of a resounding smack, I knew he had hit her.

What a monster he was.

“Thea.” Raiden warned, I could hear the anger in his voice.

I had seen them become closer over the last few days, and I hoped when things were better, he would accept her...

We were now led out into the open, but I couldn’t make out where we were being taken, the path was confusing and I held no sense of direction, far too weak to focus on anything. In my delirious state, I wondered why was he moving us personally? I could sense Arabella‘s darkness too, as it surrounded us and made me feel even more nauseous. We continued to walk for goddess knows how long, until I felt we were going downwards. Perhaps it was a slope... I wasn‘t so sure.

Tremained silent, not wanting to anger them. “Get in.” Someone hissed before I was shoved forward, feeling the temperature drop.

I didn‘t let a sound escape me, and I shuffled forward, until I knocked into someone.

Ryan. He nudged me behind him, and although I couldn‘t see him, I felt safer. I wanted to hide away to protect my baby.

“Let them rot in here, no one will find them.” Theoden growled. When the door slammed shut, I breathed a sigh of relief, now paying attention to who was here.
