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

Chapter 36

The Darkness In The World YILEYNA 

What do I do? I mean, I needed to help her, but how? Doing a quick scan of the situation, I frowned, seven men… Two were mages, some werewolves, but most were fae. The fae are the one species who were immune to the siren’s song. One thing was clear, they were all dangerous … Each one of those men would kill me without a second thought but I can’t just let them do this. 

“Make sure she feels the pain.” An eighth man hissed, making me shudder, there was something odd about him and I felt as if my entire body recoiled from his voice. 

“Of course.” Another added. 

How many of them were there? There was no way I’d win in a match against them all… I could count thirteen now. 

This wasn’t Astalion where wolves stuck together… This was a place entirely different, with a mix of species working together, but I wouldn’t let it fool me, it was only for their own goals. I 

almost gasped when I realised the raspy voice belonged to a Naga… My stomach churned. 

If they discovered me, I’d be dead within minutes… 

Think quick, Yileyna… 

Maybe if I somehow caused a distraction I could 

Suddenly a hand clamped over my mouth and a strong arm wrapped around my waist, lifting me off the ground as I was pulled away. I struggled, my heart was thundering in my ears, panic flaring inside of me. Did they see me?! “Calm down.” My captive whispered, his warm breath on my ear, making my stomach flip. I relaxed, relief flooding me. I slumped against his chest, my heart pounding hard. Oh, thank the goddess. “What the hell are you doing here?” He asked ever so quietly. I turned my head, looking up at him, trying not to focus on how good his body felt against mine. 

Focus Yileyna! Why did he make my body go crazy like this? I tried to pull free from his hold, but he didn’t let go, only removing his hand from my mouth. His other hand still gripping my waist tightly. “I heart a girl cry for help, you saw them, they’re torturing her.” I whispered quietly, knowing even though he had moved us away we might still be overheard. His amber eyes narrowed calculatingly and he loosened his hold on me. Although I was unable to pull away, I was able to turn in his arms and look up at him, my chest crushed against his. “You do know that she’s a siren?” He murmured; his voice so quiet I could just about hear him.

“A young one, she doesn’t deserve this.” I countered. 

“She will grow to become a killer.” 

“I know, but they are torturing her.” 

“Don’t tell me you were about to go in there to protect one of the very monsters that have tried to kill our kind countless times?” He asked coldly. 

“I… No, its…” 

Yes, I was going to because I didn’t think, all I saw was a young girl being tortured. 

“She’s not even in water, her body wouldn’t become foam if they had just killed her first… So why are they doing this?” 

“Because monsters deserve to be punished.” He replied coldly, his eyes seemed to darken with hatred.
