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

58. His Departure THEON. We hadn't slept that night... Even after sex, we couldn’t sleep, not with the fact that I would be gone
in the morning...
My heart felt heavy as I now picked up my coat, and my small bag was ready.
She stood there dressed in one of my shirts with a corset around her waist, paired with simple grey pants.
Her heart was thundering as she watched me.
It fucking hurt...
She had bidden Charlene, Hunter, and Zoe goodbye just an hour ago, and now it was time for me to leave.
I knew she didn't want me to go, 1 had seen the tears she shed when she thought I was asleep in the early hours of themorning.
The front she put on to be strong...
and I fucking wished I could be here, but until I felt like I had done enough to be worthy of her, I would neverbe at ease.
Yet, once again because of me, she was hurting "Hey....
if you want, cry." I said quietly, pulling her into my arms and tightening my hold.
Fuck, I was going to miss her.
A soft heart-breaking whimper escaped her as she bunched my shirt into her fists.
“L...
I don't want to make it harder for you, but do you have to go?” Shewhispered looking up at me with those beautiful iridescent
eyes of hers.
Fuck, if only you knew how much I didn't want to...
1 "I'm not a good person Yileyna, not the type of Alpha you need by your side right now.
I've committed so many crimes and I need to do this, but know, that this is fucking hard for me.

Fuck, I wish I could get rid of these thoughts and just stay here.Because you know, the onlyplace I want to be, is with you, or in
you." I whispered, looking down at her as I cupped the side of her face with one hand.
"But I also want to be the man you fucking deserve.” 1 “You saying that already shows you are that man.” She whispered.
Fuck beautiful, don’t make this harder...
I kissed her lips deeply, knowing that this was going to hurt...
so fucking much.
To be deprived of her...
to be away from her...
waking up alone...
sleeping without her...
"When I return, I'm never leaving you again." I vowed before I claimed her lips in another passionate deep kiss.
She kissed me back like there was no tomorrow, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Pain that was fucking unbearable.
The intense sparks of the bond danced between us, swirling around us like a storm.
She was my world.
When she needed air, I slowly pulled away, not wanting to ever let go...
I threaded my fingers into her hair, our noses brushing against each other’s.
"I will always write and look forward to hearing what you have been up to around here,”I said quietly.
She nodded, hugging me tightly, "I will miss you Theon...
so much...
I love you," Her emotions were intense, and I could hear it in her voice.

“I’ll fucking miss you too, Little Storm.
You will definitely be the only thing on my mind day in and day out...
It will be my incentive to return as soon as my work is done.” I pressed my lips against her forehead, inhaling her scent Fuck
Ihated the fact that we will be apart...
She said nothing, clinging to me, and I held her as if she would fucking breakif I squeezed too hard.
Our hearts were racing, and even when I slowly led the way to the door of the cabin, it was hard,like I was having to drag my
feet.
She held onto me tightly as she walked me to the edge of the city, her heart beating fast as soft rain fell fromthe skies.
It wasn't so cold anymore, and I knew this rain was her doing Each step wasdifficult to take knowing I would be saying goodbye
very soon.
I was fucking right...
To be away from her was the worst fucking punishment.
I was also punishing her with my punishment 1 "May the gods be with you.” She whispered when we stopped at the open gates
to the city, “Andwith you." I replied quietly.
I looked her over slowly, wanting to burn this image of her into my mind, My beautiful little storm...
From her gorgeous blond hair that fell to her hips, her voluptuous breasts, narrow waist and curvy hips.
Those dainty hands and those plump lips...
"Wait for me, beautiful." She nodded, unable to speak for a few moments, as she gripped my wrists and I cupped her face
kissing her once more.
Many were gathered, and although they kept their distance, their eyes were on us but I didn’t care...
"The Alpha's leaving' The whispers had begun spreading, and I knew before noon everyone would know.
"I will, I will always be waiting." She whimpered, her voice breaking as I ran my thumb over her lips.

"Be strong." She was fucking strong, I didn't need to tell her that.
I kissed her one final time before I slowly forced myself away from her.
She tried to smile, her lips quivering as Raiden walked over with the reins of a stallion in his hands.
We exchanged looks and I said nothing out loud.
"Take care of her.' 'I will.' He replied, and I knew he would.
He may be Thea's mate but there was a level of love that he held for his queen.
Thea was watching me too, she looked upset but was trying to keep strong and I gaveher a tight hug "Take care of yourself." She
nodded.
“You too, Theon.
Don't take too long, we are all waiting for you to return.” “I will try not to.” I said, ruffling her hair.
“You will be missed.” Raiden said, quietly.
But I couldn't reply, as I stared at the woman I loved.
She was staring back at me, trying to be strong...
She really was so fucking brave.
1 “I love you, Little Storm...
Take care of yourself." She nodded and I cupped her face one final time, kissing her so deeply that I hoped she never forgot it,
before I pulled awayand mounted my horse.
I couldn't look back, her pain through the bond crushing me as I urged the horse into a gallop.
'I love you more than life itself.' I murmured through the bond.
‘Same, you have taken my sunrise and my sunset...
Return to me soon, My Love.

2 'I will, I will Little Storm.' I kept the link open, our emotions mixing into one but neither of us could speak any longer asI nudged
my horse to go faster.
The sound of his hooves hitting the dirt and the wind rushing through my ears was all I could hear.
2 I never expected so much from life but she had given me a taste ofwhat I may have.
I opened my heart to her, a heart I never knew I had.
One that she forced me to reveal to her...
I learned to feel and love, all of that was because of her.
Although I hurt her countless times, she still loved me through it all.
I was so focused on revenge that I was blinded to everything, and I committed crimes that I would never be able to forgive myself
for.
Above all, her parents’ death.
Yet she found it within her to forgive me.
Theoden was dead, and the truth was unveiled.
Now all that was left, was for me to do what I could for this kingdomand for my queen, and then...
then I would return to her, marry her, and spend the rest of my fucking life with her.
Wait for me, Little Storm, because I will be back.
