YILEYNA

 

The rain continued to beat down upon us, washing away most of the mud that had splashed in my face.

 

He reached up, brushing my dirty hair back from my face, my eyes fluttered shut under his touch, a touch that I welcomed…

 

A wave of relief washed over me. Theon was many things; mocking, aloof, cold and arrogant, but he was not a monster.

 

“It seems you can’t stay out of trouble for even a moment.” He murmured quietly before his eyes sharply snapped to the two men who stood a mere few feet away.

 

“You should leave, don’t interfere where it’s not your business.” Nikolai’s cocky voice came from behind.

 

The gold flash in Theon’s eyes made my heart skip a beat, even if the rest of his face remained emotionless, the anger I saw in those eyes… for me. My stomach fluttered, before Theon moved me behind him.

 

“As warriors of the pack, it’s a nice example to set.”

 

“This has nothing to do with you. Leave. You saw nothing.” Kyson added coldly.

 

I stared at the back of Theon’s head as I crossed my arms over my breasts, hugging myself.

 

“I saw enough to take this back to the Alpha.” Theon stepped forward and both men tensed.

 

I frowned as realisation hit me. They weren’t scared of Theon, but the fact that he may be the future Beta… How rank made you everything or nothing…

 

The two exchanged looks, mind linking before they glared at me coldly. The silent promise that this was not over was clear in their eyes. Both men walked past us, only for Theon to grab Nikolai by the collar and punch him across the jaw.

 

“What the actual fuck?!” Nikolai hissed, clutching his face as he stumbled back.

 

“Touch her again, and I will kill you.” Theon replied, his voice dangerous and cold.

 

Both men walked off but Theon turned towards me. I suddenly felt very bare, despite having paraded in front of him only yesterday… Today was different, I suddenly felt dirty and used, the sheer weight of what could have happened crashing down on me. I turned my back on him, not wanting him to see the vulnerable state I was in.

 

The fear that rattled me, my entire body was beyond the point of exhaustion. I gasped when I felt his fingers brush my upper back. I bit my lip when he tugs a lint of wool from me.

 

The silence between us was loud, but I had nothing to say today. My heart thudded when I felt the warmth of his jacket being placed around my shoulders, his scent invading my senses, I closed my eyes. Despite the intensity of the comfort it brought me, the sheer reality that I was now a no one… pretty much alone in this world, hit me hard.

 

My parents were dead… I couldn’t uphold the De’Lacor name and I had no one…

 

You have Charlene and Theon… I tried to tell myself, but did I?

 

“Let’s get out of here.” His voice came and I nodded, clutching the jacket around me tightly as he turned away.

 

To my surprise, he took hold of my wrist, glancing at my bruised hands, a frown creasing his brow as he led me away. I looked at his large hand wrapped around the sleeve of his leather jacket, my heart skipping a beat.

 

He had saved me…

 

‘Theon may become Beta…’

 

I glanced up at him sharply, wondering how true that was. Did he know?

I stepped out of the shower and grabbed one of his towels. I dried myself quickly and then walked over to my muddy clothes, dumping them into the tub I had just gotten out of and quickly felt inside of Theon’s jacket pockets. Taking out a few explosive enchantments and two small daggers, I placed them aside and dumped his jacket into the bath too.
