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

57. The Coronation YILEYNA. The day of the coronation had arrived. I was wearing a sequined strapless silver dress, whichwas fully embroidered, and encrusted with pearls and jewels on the bodice.

It was fitted to just above my knees before it flared out with a long trail behindit.

The embroidery was lighter on the skirt, with a full border at the bottom.

A matching cape stood to the side which I would wear once it was time to take my oath.

My make-up was glowing, and my hair was half pinned up with soft curls tumbling down my back.

I was wearing silver heels, as well as a large silver necklace and earrings.

Matching gloves reached my elbows, and I wore a few rings.

I was currently in the new royal quarters, a place I had chosen for Theon and myself.

It was towards the back of the castle, despite it not usually being the place preferred by royals as it was smaller.

However, the view was stunning.

Looking out over the gardens below and the coast in the distance had tempted me to choose this part of the castle.

Also…

it was somewhere Dad used to come to do paperwork, and because he didn’t want me disturbing the othermen working, he would bring his work here so I could play.

Today was a day that would be one that held many memories, but it was also Theon’s last day before he went onhis journey of redemption.

The day had come too fast, but I knew before he could let himself enjoy life in contentment that he neededto do this.

A knock on the open door made my heart skip a beat, as his scent filled my nose.

I turned, and the two omegas lowered their heads to their other alpha before they left the room, giving us some privacy.

Theon's eyes ran over me as he slowly entered the room, closing the door behind him.

His eyes were blazing as they drank me up slowly, and I felt my cheeks heat up, knowing exactly what he was thinking…

“Theon…

Your thoughts and gaze are turning me on, and I'm needed in the throne room in a few minutes.” I whispered.

Oh if we weren't werewolves with such a sensitive sense of smell, I wouldn’t mind him pinning me right here and takingme hard..., He looked incredible, in a black tunic, dark grey pants and black boots.

His sword was in his sheath, and despite the fact he wore no jewellery, he still looked like the king I knew he was.

He didn't need the title to be known as one.

“You look…

absolutely fuckable right now." He growled, his eyes dipping to my breasts.

I bit my lip, locking my arms around his neck, only for him to grab my waist and yank me against him.

“As do you.” I whispered.

"I know that neither of us will be sleeping tonight." “Oh absolutely.” He murmured, squeezing my ass as our eyes met and we kissed.

I could feel his hands tightening on my waist.

The urge to grab my hair was one he was resisting as he kissed me hard.

Sending off those euphoric sparks that always consumed me.

We broke apart, breathing heavily, and for a moment we simply remained close, our noses brushing, our lipsteasingly caressing each other, letting off volts of electricity.

He reached up, removing the large necklace I was wearing and placing it down on the vanity table behind me.

"I told you, Little Storm, the only thing that I want around this neck of yours is my hand.” Hegrowled huskily, wrapping his hand around my neck, making me gasp.

“Understood, Alpha.” I whispered.

Our eyes met once more, and at that moment, if we didn’t hear footsteps, I knew we would have lost control.

My heart was still thumping when one of my advisors and Raiden approached, announcing that we were to go to the throne room.

The lace matching robe was placed around my shoulders by the Omegas, and then I took a deep breath,ready to do this...

"I, Yileyna De'Lacor, vow to protect the people of Astalion with everything I have.

To uphold the laws and regulations of the kingdom and its people.

To carry out justice and to always rule with a pure heart.” I finished, as I held the staff of truth, and the sword ofjustice in my hands.

"I give you, Alpha Queen Yileyna De'Lacor, the true ruler of the middle kingdom.
