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

Chapter 20

20. In Three Days
YILEYNA
I stared at the small cabin that belonged to Theon, seeing the glow around the edge of the window, meaning someone was here… My heart skipped a beat, Theon would stay at the castle, right?
Did he know I’ll be going on the trip too?
I looked around. There was a scatter of cabins, each with its own garden area, trees and low fences surrounding each square of land. It was a nice area… I hadn’t paid attention last time.
Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. I didn’t hear anyone coming to the door, so I knocked again, frowning. Surely he was in there. I knocked again, louder, before the door was yanked open and Theon stood there, giving me a withering glare.
“If no one answers, it means it’s unlocked.” He stated icily, turning and walking off.
“How was I meant to know that?” I retorted, stepping inside and shutting the door behind me.
The smell of something delicious filled my nose and my eyes scanned the kitchen counters. I was starving, only now realising I had only had milk in the morning. As if on cue, my stomach rumbled loudly, making my cheeks flame up.
His eyebrow shot up and I pouted.
“I haven’t eaten all day…” I explained sheepishly. “Shame, I only bought food for myself. I said I’d give you a roof over your head, not hot meals. “He said, sounding as irritating as he did sexy. He grabbed the brown paper bag from the counter and dropped onto one of the two chairs at the table.
“I never said I wanted your food.” I replied icily. “So where are my things?”
He tilted his head and that tension that always seemed to settle between us filled the entire cabin, making my heart race. I stood there, a flash of that night returning to me, remembering how he had looked me over as he sat back…
“Bedroom.” He replied after a moment. I managed a nod before I hurried through to the bedroom, shutting the door behind me. Instantly, I was hit with Theon’s masculine scent and it made my core knot. Theon’s bedroom… Did that mean he was letting me sleep here? In his bedroom…
Focus, Yileyna!
I shook my head, thinking I would go get myself some food and maybe some groceries. He was right, he had given me a place to stay but I needed to pull my weight.
The urge to take a long bath tempted me, I wanted to just relax, but then I was also starving… I looked at the boxes of my belongings and rummaged around until I found my purse.

I left the bedroom to see Theon pouring himself some wine, his long legs sprawled out in front of hirn. I wanted to climb on top of those muscular thighs and kiss him.
“There’s leftovers.” He remarked, motioning to the paper bag, bringing me from my thoughts.
I raised an eyebrow, feeling my cheeks heat up, I’m glad I didn’t go too red. Even when I blushed, my cheeks only went a little pink. Thank the goddess!
“No thanks, I can get my own food.”
I wasn’t going to accept his food after he had been a jerk. I was about to walk to the door, thinking night had fallen, meaning it’d be colder too…
Oh, the pie smelled good…
“Go ahead.” His mocking reply came.
I turned and frowned.
Wouldn’t he stop me?
When it was clear he wouldn’t, I glared at him.
“Then again, we shouldn’t waste food.” I replied in a clipped tone.
He raised his eyebrow, picking up his wine glass and swirling the liquid in it, but he didn’t say anything as he drank some. My gaze dipped to his throat as he swallowed.
I forced my gaze away and instead went to the kitchen area. I took out a plate and fork before I returned to the table and sat down opposite him. I tensed when my knee touched his leg. I quickly pulled away, my heart thudding as I put some pie into my plate and quickly took a bite, not looking at him.
I moaned in satisfaction.
Goddess, this was delicious!
I felt his intense gaze on me as I scooped another fork full, and my eyes snapped towards him, my fork near my mouth. His glass was to his lips, but he wasn’t drinking, and his eyes were
pure gold, but what made my core clench was the raw carnal hunger in them.
My heart thumped as I quickly shoved the pie into my mouth and looked down at my plate. He stood up suddenly, making me jump, but he didn’t even look at me as he walked over to the sofa in a few long strides, grabbing his jacket.
“He wants me to go with you and Charlene on this trip.” I said suddenly.
I wouldn’t say the Purien Isles out loud, knowing this was strictly confidential and you never know, sometimes the walls had ears.
He paused, turning back to me sharply.
“The Alpha?” “No, the guardsman. Yes the Alpha, but it was Charlene who wanted me to go…” I said, my hunger suddenly dissipating.
“Perfect.” My heart skipped a beat as I looked at his back. “Two idiots to mind. Can it get any better?” He added, coldly glancing at me.
I cocked a brow. His tone was scornful.
“One idiot you seemed to have a lot of dirty thoughts about.” I teased, with a small smirk
Two can play this game.
His eyes flashed, I knew I was playing with fire but I didn’t really care.
“Tell me, Theon, am I wrong?” He tossed his jacket back onto the sofa and advanced towards me, I couldn’t deny that sparks of excitement and pleasure tingled through me. I stood up and stepped away, crossing my arms.
“You tell me… Do you like pissing me off?” He grabbed my neck, stepping closer as he pushed me against the wall. “Because to me, it seems you like me getting physical. And I assure you, next time I’ll be punishing you.”
