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

55. A Decision at Court YILEYNA. Three Weeks Later... Three weeks had passed since that night. I took the throne and becamethe Alpha Queen of Astalion by default.

The last few weeks had been a blur of work.

Not only were there things to do within Astalion, but there was so much to work out with the other kingdoms and how wewould go from here.

The foremost was the funeral of our fallen heroes, the victims of Theoden’s actions.

The Kingdom was in mourning for three days, and until those days were up and everyone was buried with fullhonours, there was no merriment.

The fallen sirens, nagas and fae were also engraved on the memorial stone in the courtyard of the temple of Selene, for they died for this kingdom andfought bravely alongside us for our people.

After the funerals, the next job was making peace between the sirens and nagas.

Something that went well enough.

Despite the fact the two species will never mix, they came to an agreement, and the Naran empire broke down their dams, letting thewater their land so desperately needed enter.

The sirens would not attack, and they would stay away from one another.

As for the sirens, Queseidon refused to allow Deliana to walk the land, saying the curse he had made inanger was not one he could lift entirely, he had been able to grant her legs only for the battle.

I had seen the pain in her eyes when she realised she couldn’t visit me often, but I promised I’d visit her down bythe coast, and in the ocean too when I could.

Ariella was often walking through the city, and had taken a somewhat of a job at the White Dove.

She chose whom to sleep with, and the lucky man paid the owner of the White Dove, since Ariella didn’t want any money, justa taste of men.

They were even making a pool room, where she would entertain her company in siren form.

Well, the White Dove sure became a spot where people from other cities came to visit and hope for a taste of the forbiddensin that it now offered.

I had a feeling if Queseidon found out then she'd be stripped of her legs too, but I was a curious thing, and she was too, just far wilderthan I ever was of course.

I was glad she got to enjoy her life however she deemed fit, and the sirens were welcomein Astalion whenever they wished.

Of course, aside from Westerfell, we all knew it would take time for people to accept them completely.

We needed to work on that slowly rather than overwhelm them, but I was positive about the future.

The story of the battle of Westerfell had travelled across the borders, a miraculous moment whenevery kind of being united to defeat a Dark One.

A story those who were a part of told with extra joy.

Of course, the story began to take many forms, but the truth remained in there, for now.

As for the Fae Kingdom issue, food rations were sent, and an open trade passing was set up,so they would never need to worry about this issue ever again.

Astalion was bountiful in its crops and produce, it accumulated more than we could consume.

Although I'd miss him, Zarian had to return and take up his duty as prince, one that he had been away from for several years.

Last of all, the crew of The Siren Killer renamed their ship as The Queen’s Voyage.

Although they had been devastated about the loss of Ailema, as was I, she would always be remembered.

She was a lovely woman, the kind that everyone needed in their lives.

My official coronation was in a week's time, and everything was hectic, with everyone expecting Theon and me to marry.

But it was still something that Theon was uncertain of.

We were now sitting around the conference table, a council I had formed…

consisting of Theon, myself, four alphas, Raiden, two nagas, two sirens, three fae and one mage.

A council I had put together, wanting other species to live among us, and a means for them to be the link to their kingdoms.

"Regarding the marriage, my queen, perhaps we can hold it in the Temple of Selene inthe morning hours before the coronation?" Raiden suggested.

I glanced at Theon, who sat next to me.

The very first day he had refused to sit in the throne like chair that matched mine, he now sat in a chair that matched therest.

1 "We will not marry." He said coldly, looking around the table.

A ripple went through those at the table but I kept my face emotionless.

Theon had been by my side every morning and every night…
