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

Chapter 3

YILEYNA

 

Surprisingly, Theon said nothing to Charlene when she returned, not even casting her a glance as we made our way back towards the castle. We split up, with Theon escorting Charlene to her room whilst I headed to my own quarters, the Beta quarters. A place that was so empty since Mom and Dad were gone.

 

I quickly showered before pulling on a navy fitted top, black pants and boots, before I pulled my wet hair back into a ponytail.

 

I exited my room and almost knocked into Theon, who was leaning against the wall.

 

“Goddess!” I gasped, jumping back, my heart thumping. “You scared me.”

 

“For someone so audacious, I didn’t know anything could scare you.” He replied emotionlessly.

 

“What’s life if you don’t live it at full throttle?” I replied, making sure the door was locked before we both fell in step.

 

“Let me guess, not living, simply existing?” He raised his eyebrow.

 

“Are you mocking me?”

 

“I’m glad you figured it out.” He whispered huskily, leaning down.

 

My heart skipped a beat as our eyes met, making me feel giddy. His sexy masculine scent invaded my senses, the thrum of his steady heartbeat making my own pound louder.

 

“Jerk.” I managed to retort, pushing him away.

 

Theon had only been in this pack for two years, we didn’t know where he had come from, or who he was. The only thing he remembered when he regained consciousness was his name: Theon.

 

It had actually been Charlene and me who had found him, a few weeks after her shift. We had been out, sneaking away as usual, when we saw a Naga; a half-human, half-serpent like being. Unlike the ones who lived on land, the sea Naga were as dangerous as the sirens, and this one had been no different.

 

Seeing the bloody body in the Naga’s hold, Charlene had frozen in horror, and although my instincts told me to run, I couldn’t leave someone to die and so I had swum out. With nothing but my sword, I had managed to injure the Naga just enough to free Theon from his hold. Despite him having elemental powers, I had managed to pull Theon to safety and we had then called for help.

 

But Theon didn’t know that, Charlene had asked if she could say she saved him when she saw how handsome the young man was. As much as I would have loved to taunt him, this was even better. Now I often reminded him that he had been saved by a princess.

 

We weren’t sure about Theon’s age but he looked to be in his early twenties.

 

It had taken time for everyone to trust him, but slowly he became one of us and was initiated into the pack. He never regained his memory, but he was hard-working, strong and an excellent warrior, so he had risen through the ranks. He was now an Epsilon rank warrior, which meant there were only four ranks above him and that included the Alpha rank.

 

Being the princess’ bodyguard was an honourable job, it meant that the Alpha trusted him and knew he was capable of protecting her.

 

We walked down the hall, I turned towards the Alpha King’s office only for Theon to take a left.

 

“The office is this way.”

 

“I know, but did I say he was in his office?” He replied as if this was obvious.

 

“Right…”
