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

55.A Cold Morning YILEYNA 

I awoke to find the bed empty, feeling a pang of pain inside of me. I know he had a lot to do, but I did wish I could at least wake up to him next to me, even if it was just occasionally. 

My entire body felt sore and achy, yet the lightness that I felt in my chest was immeasurable. 

A smile played on my lips and my cheeks burned as I thought of last night. It had been different, and even if I was blindfolded, it only heightened my other senses. I felt as if we had somehow become closer. It was almost as if we had opened ourselves to one another in an entirely new way. 

I was sure Theon felt something much more for me than he admitted. He couldn’t put it into words, but I was positive he was falling for me. I smiled happily, hugging the blanket to my chest. He had cleaned me too. No one did that unless they truly cared. I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling utterly happy and content. My Theon… just like I was his… My heart leapt when I heard the sound of movement in the other room, and I jolted upright, wincing at how sore my behind and core felt. 

He was home! 

I kicked the blanket off and quickly got out of bed, almost falling over my legs that felt like jelly. I opened the drawer to grab a shirt or something to put on, when I realised it was half empty. I frowned. Most of Theon’s clothes were missing… Feeling confused, I pulled on a t-shirt before I closed the wardrobe and pulled the curtains open. The window was entirely frosted, and from what I could see outside, the snow was still falling strongly and it was extremely windy. I stripped the bedding, the stains from last night a reminder of everything that we had done here. I don’t think I’ll be able to come into this room without remembering it. My heart skipped a beat as I held the bundled bedding in my arms and made my way to the bedroom door 

I opened it, to see Theon standing over a trunk, wearing black pants and a black shirt, which hung open, and his hair brushed back. He turned his gorgeous amber eyes towards where i stood, his eyes trailing over me, and I could feel my cheeks burning up under his gaze. It was almost as if he was undressing me entirely, and the shirt I was wearing suddenly felt too small… 

My heart skipped a thousand beats when our eyes locked. “Morning.” I said, my stomach all fluttery. 

“Morning.” He replied, his deep sexy voice making me feel giddy. Goddess, what was going on? I was feeling even more nervous than usual… He turned back to the trunk and tossed in some clothes. I frowned, remembering the wardrobe that was partially empty. 

“Are you going somewhere?” I asked, walking over to him. 

There was over a foot difference in height between us, and although I wanted to pull him down and kiss him, he had turned back to the trunk.

as I felt him tense, but it wasn’t even a split second later when his hands wrapped around my waist and he stood up straight, lifting me off the ground completely and crushing me against him. I smiled, kissing his jaw softly. He nudged my face away, kissing my neck sensually instead. I resisted a moan and his hold on me tightened before he inhaled deeply, burying his nose in the crook of my neck For a few moments, he didn’t move. I wrapped my legs around his waist, enjoying his embrace and the steady beat of his heart. He exhaled slowly and
