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

56. About the Future YILEYNA. Three hours had passed, and we had just showered after a very sizzling few rounds of sex.

I had put some roast chicken and vegetables in the oven that would be done soon, and I was slipping ona black silk nightdress that reached mid-thigh.

I sat in front of the vanity mirror, opening Mom's jewellery box.

The few remaining items that I had managed to salvage were all here, along with the amulet thatbelonged to Theon's mother.

I had been given it by one of the omegas who were doing a thorough clean of the castle and had found it in his oldroom, but I hadn't managed to find the right time to return it to Theon.

I know it belonged to the Obsidian Shadow pack and was a painful reminder of the wrongs that stained that pack,but it had also been his mother's.

I shut the jewellery box, clutching the necklace in my hand, as I walked out into the main room.

The room was glowing with the warm lights of the lanterns, and two windows were open.

With summer approaching, the weather was far warmer than it was a month or so ago.

There he was…

my sexy god, in nothing but a pair of grey pants that hung low upon his hips, placing dishes onthe table.

I licked my lips, tempted to yank them down and “I can hear your thoughts, Little Storm.” He reminded mein his deep sexy voice, without even turning.

Smiling in amusement I placed the amulet aside, and I walked over to him.

"Oh? Well, the idea was enticing." I replied, running my hands down his abs as I hugged him from behind.

"Obviously..." He gripped my wrist, turning and yanking me against him roughly.

"But unless you want me to fuck you right now." “You had something you wanted to talk tome about, right?" I cut in, as he kissed my neck." Behave." "I did, and you started this." I smiled teasingly before pulling away.

I walked over to the oven and took the roast tray out, carrying it to thetable.

The delicious fragrance made me lick my lips.

Oh, I was hungry! When we were at the palace, we always had big four-or five-course meals, but here in the cabin, I liked to cook myself.

I picked up the amulet, walked back to the table and took my seat.

We helped ourselves to the food before I gently placed the amulet next to Theon’s plate.

"I found this when the castle was being cleaned." I explained gently.

He looked down at it, frowning slightly, before he placed his fork down and picked it up.

“It’s your mother’s.

I thought you may want to keep it." I asked, my gaze dipping to my wrists that stillheld bruises from our sex session, the memory making my core throb.

"It also bears the crest of the Hale family, but she once told me that when I found my mate or took achosen mate, she would give this to her daughter-in-law." He said, frowning as he looked at the amber jewellery.

He placed it on the table and slid it back.

"It's yours, although the Hale crest no longer holds any significance and it’s a name I want to bury.

This was hers and she wanted you to have it." A wave of emotions washed over me,and I looked at him.

“Theon, not everyone in the Hale family was evil…

When the time comes, and we plan to have children, they will carry the Hale name, won’t they?” His eyebrows shotup as he drank some juice.

"Children?" "Well, not yet, but someday we will have children, correct?” “Not for a very long time.” He replied pointedly, reaching over andbrushing my hair back.
