1. 20. Between two Alphas 

YILEYNA 

“Nothing.” His words made my stomach somersault. He had offered to help me, and I was sure he would ask for something in return, but he didn‘t. Once again, in his own way he was showing that there was some good in him, only making me more determined to remove the veil from his eyes, to show him that his father may not be what he thinks. 1 

“Nothing?” I asked, looking into his amber eyes. They were as gorgeous as ever, but they didn‘t seem to be as vibrant as usual. I guess he must be exhausted. 

“One would assume your hearing would be impeccable... What‘s wrong? Do you need me to get closer and whisper it in your ear again? Or perhaps you secretly wanted me to ask for something else?” 

My core clenched at his tone. That urge to advance on him tempted me. I was certain that he wouldn‘t refuse, but where my body craved him, my heart still bled with the pain of his betrayal. 

“I heard... but it‘s...” I shook my head, clearing my mind the best I could. “What is your plan? Why are you out here? Did your father simply send you to bring me back?” 

I tugged out of his hold and stepped back, waiting for him to answer as the ship lurched a little. 

“Yeah, he wants you back, but I‘m not the only one looking for you. He has sent out others.” 

“That‘s surprising. Doesn‘t he think you alone are capable of the job?” I asked, crossing my arms. 

He tilted his head, looking away. 

“I don‘t think he trusts me entirely.” He turned away from me, but I wasn‘t done with this conversation. 

“Why? Because you have some morals?” I asked. 

He didn‘t reply for a moment, before he looked at me over his shoulder. 

“I have a question. How are you doing it? How are you able to stand and talk to me after everything?” 

How

I shook my head, shrugging as our eyes met. 

“I don‘t know… it hurts, it hurts so much. I can forgive everything but my parents‘ death... it wasn‘t your dad who did that, it was you. You used me as the bait to let them rush to their deaths.” I whispered, refusing to allow the pain in my chest to overwhelm me. I took a deep breath and looked him square in the eye. “But like I said, this isn‘t about me, but the people of the kingdom. We need the fighting to stop. Enough is enough.” 

He nodded, looking away

“Makes sense... Then for the greater good, I guess we do this together.” 

“Mm.” I nodded. 

Surely there was a reason that Selene chose us to be mates. Perhaps this was what it was, to unite the kingdoms, to bring peace between the packs, as well as with the Sirens. As for this visit to the Naga empire... Maybe me going beyond the borders of Astalion into Naran is all part of a bigger plan... Perhaps they too are misunderstood... 2 

I know they are dangerous and deadly, but didn‘t we think the same of the Sirens? Sure, they kill, but we 

too kill and are seen as monsters to someone else. 1. 

“It‘s time we didn‘t let what we are taught be our only verdict. We need to look beyond that and find our own answers.” I said quietly. 

“It‘s not going to be easy...” He replied.
