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

Chapter 47

47. A Disappointment
YILEYNA
We broke apart, my arousal scenting the air and the large poky thing that was pressing against my stomach told me I wasn’t the only one who was turned on.
“As much as skipping dinner sounds very appealing, I am starved.” I whispered, running my hand over his package. His eyes blazed and he kissed my neck hungrily, making me whimper.
“I plan to have you for dessert anyway.” He replied. His hand was still holding the side of my neck and face as he moved back slightly, his face inches from mine, our eyes locked. I looked away from his intense amber eyes and led the way to the table. I took a seat, then Theon sat down opposite me, scanning the table.
“I never knew you could cook. Unless of course, it just looks good… I’m mentally prepared to be food poisoned.”
I gave him a pointed look.
“You won’t get food poisoning! Besides, you’re a werewolf. You can eat raw meat and live. But you don’t need to worry because my cooking is very good. I’m good at many things, actually. Apart from shifting, I have excelled in every field, but I guess it doesn’t matter when the most important thing is where I’m lacking.”
I sighed, picking up my fork. “Do you feel any different lately?” He asked as he began eating. Why did everything he do look so hot? The way his lips wrapped around that spoonful of his chilli…
He cocked an eyebrow, and I quickly cleared my head.
“Different? Not really, but Charlene said I’m stronger now.” I replied, taking the cork out of the juice bottle and pouring it into two glasses,
“She has a point.”
I looked at him, almost dropping my fork.
“Did you actually just agree with Charlene?”
He didn’t reply and picked up his glass. “I’ve noticed it during sex.” He stated bluntly, making my heart skip a beat. “Meaning?” I pouted. “Meaning your wolf is probably awakening.” I nodded, my hope soaring inside. I looked at him thoughtfully, wondering if I should ask him if the king had said anything else in the room after I had left. Deciding to go for it, I took a roasted potato and bit into it slowly. “So, what did the king say once Charlene and I left the office?” I asked.

He raised an eyebrow.
“And why would I share that?”
“Oh come on, I won’t tell anyone.”
“Really? At least say something that is partially believable.”
I pouted.
“Well… the king doesn’t treat Charlene or I seriously. This involves the entire kingdom, he can’t just not share it with us.” I said, watching as Theon broke some of the roast chicken off and placed it on his plate.
“Hmm, because what he did was something he wasn’t proud of.”
“Well, obviously he told us that – wait! Are you about to tell me what the king said?” I asked, unable to hide my curiosity.
“Sure, because after you hear it, you won’t have the guts to tell the princess.” He said, smirking coldly. I frowned, my excitement vanishing.
What did he mean…
“The king lied, this siren he cheated with, wasn’t before he met his mate. The Alpha, rather than celebrate and pamper his queen when she’d just found out she was pregnant with the princess, decided to go and sleep with someone else.” Theon didn’t hide the disgust in his voice, and I didn’t blame him.
I felt… I placed my fork down, no longer having any appetite. Any respect I had for the king was diminishing as I tried to look for logic or reason that would save his reputation. “Sirens are seductive creatures. Maybe he was seduced…” “Maybe, but not once did he say he was lured into her charms. He, in fact, didn’t seem to try and even hide that part.” He replied, eating his food unbothered. “That’s appalling… Luna Soleil is his true mate, which meant she would have felt him cheating. “I mumbled, feeling so bad for the Luna.
Theon simply gave a small nod. He was right, there was no way that I was going to tell Charlene that.
Dinner was over and I was still lost in thought. What I had hoped to be a light and pleasant evening had turned rather gloomy. I cleared the table as Theon put some milk to heat in the pan without even asking me, and I smiled
I loved having the coffee that he made.
I placed the dirty dishes in the sink and packed away the leftovers. “Can you pass me the knife?” I asked, pointing to the knives in the pot near the cooker.
He looked down at me, giving me a once over before he stepped back slightly, allowing me to squeeze past. I rolled my eyes at the tiny space he was allowing me. I slid past him, trying not to focus on his body heat behind me and grabbing the knife. Very aware of his body brushing against my ass, sending a ripple of electricity through me, it made me crazy.
“Careful not to get burnt.” He murmured huskily, his hand on my stomach as he pressed me into him, making my heart pound.
His lips met my neck for a moment and my heart fluttered, before I slipped away from his hold and looking up at him.
I love you.
I wanted to say it out loud… every night and every morning… but I couldn’t because I didn’t want him to push me away. “So, was the food edible at least?” I asked, trying to get rid of the sexual tension that had fallen over us.
“Did my four helpings not answer that question?”
“A simple ‘yes I liked it would have sufficed.” I smirked as I began slicing the gooey chocolatey cake. “Do you not know how to answer a question directly?” “I do, I just don’t do compliments unless it involves you being a good girl in bed.”
My eyes widened, and despite the blush that coated my cheeks, his words shut me up completely. I was smiling. He turned the cooker off, pouring the milk into the two mugs and mixing them into a pleasant froth. I picked up a slice of cake with the knife and my finger for support and placed it onto a plate before placing a second slice in another plate. I was about to reach for a paper towel when Theon grabbed my wrist and raised my hand to his lips.
My heart pounded as he ran his tongue up my finger licking off the slightly sticky chocolate ganache from my finger.
