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

59. Epilogue Part 1 YILEYNA. Nine Months Later... 1 Seven months had passed, and I lived for Theon’s letters. Inhis absence, I put my head down, focusing on the changes I wanted to see in the kingdom.

I even found time to visit Deliana down in the sea.

She had been happy, now I often went for a swim in siren form with her A lot had changed.

Hunter and Charlene had a beautiful baby boy, who they named Nathanial Gray Carson, after Nathalia and Grayson.

It was the perfect name for him.

He was an adorable little boy, with brown hair and big soft green eyes.

To my absolute delight, Charlene spent a few weeks here when he was a month old, and I loved their company.

Enjoying the chance to shower my nephew with lots and lots of love and gifts.

I didn't want to give him back, but I had to.

Oh, he was adorable! 1 I wrote to Charlene almost as often as Theon, although the messages were so much lighter thanthe longing and pain I tried to hide in the ones to my beloved.

Thea and Raiden were engaged.

They would wed in a year or so, I had a feeling they were waiting for Theon’s return.

Everyone tried to make me feel better.

Though I hid my emotions, they knew I missed him, and in turn, they tried not to talk about him, soas not to upset me.

As for Ryan, much to everyone's surprise, he and Ariella were in a relationship.

It wasn't the standard type of relationship, but they were both happy.

Although she no longer worked at the White Dove, she still had her harem in the sea.

Ryan made it clear he should be the only man in her life, but he didn’t care forthe fish in her life.

It was an insult to mermen but she had simply laughed and agreed.

Lately, I was seeing her more and more on land, to the point they even purchased a place togethernear the coast where she lived with him, with the water not so far from her.

They were getting serious, and despite everyone being quite shocked, I was happy about their union.

Unlike me, who was a tri-form shifter, she was a pure siren, but they were perfectfor one another despite being two entirely different species, who were not mated.

I just secretly prayed Ryan never made her angry with his unconventional remarks at times.1 Everything with the kingdoms around Astalion was going well, and Ihad even received letters from beyond the neighbouring kingdoms.

Invitations to weddings and gifts to congratulate me on my new position as Queen.

The only thing missing was Theon, and although I visited the cabin often, keeping it clean, he was missed.

The cabin on the left had been on sale, and I had purchased it for more land.

I even had a wall built around the entire garden and began planting flowers in my free time.

I had set up a little pond in the now much larger garden.

I hoped one day we could make this cabin larger, where we could come and spend the weekends withour children someday.

I miss you, Theon.

Come home soon? Today was just another day, I was currently in my office working.

I had spent the morning in court handling affairs of the kingdom, before I spent an hour signing documents and legislations for certain building projects thatwere to be started soon.

Ah, I was tired! I sat back in my chair, looking out at the leaves that were swirling around in the air.

Summer had come and gone, now autumn had arrived, yet there was still no sign of Theon’s return.

Nine months had passed since he had left.

His letters still came, accompanied by gifts.

There was always something different from where he had visited, from jewellery to clothes, or an ornament.

Things I treasured and placed in our cabin, but I still wanted him here.

That would be the greatest gift I could ever ask or hope for.

I left my office and returned to my quarters, smiling politely at those who greeted orbowed to me in the halls.

I went to our bedroom and, sitting on my bed, I opened my bedside drawer.
