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

Chapter 79



79. Two Packs
My stomach was a mess of nerves as I stood there in the pouring rain, looking at Theon’s back I wanted to hear the story he had
heard outside of Astalion, Theon had travelled a few times and had seen far more of the world than I and Charlene ever had. I
remember we would always wait for him to return, counting the days. There was just something fun about having a broody sexy
man around...
Why did those times suddenly feel so carefree and childish?
“Do you know when the Silver Storm pack took control of the middle kingdom?”
“It’s said Alpha Andres took this land that was in control of The Dark Ones, saving the people from them over twenty years ago.”
The Dark Ones were mages who had become necromancers, so lost in their ways that the land had become poisoned by their
evil deeds.” The king saved the people from them, and the land began to flourish once more as well. Bringing peace and safety
to the kingdom as a whole.” Theon nodded.
“Yes, in under two weeks it will be exactly twenty-one years since that day... The day this land was freed, but beyond these walls
of this city, with Astalion itself, the hushed whispers of another version of the truth are that Alpha Andres didn’t do it alone. He
conquered this land alongside his closest comrade, his best friend, Theoden Hale. Two Alphas, two Packs, one goal
My heart thudded as I stared at his back.
The Alpha of the Obsidian Shadow Pack...
“A goal that they worked on together. They were said to be such good friends that they were willing to die for one another.
Theoden Hale even took a hit for his friend in battle, resulting in him getting severely injured.” Theon looked at the sky, and I
waited patiently for him to continue. “It is said that it was Theoden Hale who took out the final and the most powerful of the Dark
Ones, and in doing so freed the land. Yet, against what was promised, where both would rule the middle kingdom, Andres
Aphelion went back on his word. With Theoden being injured from the battle, he was weak, and at that moment Andres tried to
kill him.” 2 I was unable to stop the gasp that left me. Theon turned around, brushing his fingers through his wet locks. The move
alone made my stomach flutter, despite the severity of the conversation. “And then what?” I asked quietly, looking into his amber
eyes.
He stepped closer, his gaze dipping to my body, before he ran his knuckles down my arm. “He didn’t only try to kill him, also his
wife and young son... But Nathalia Hale was not weak, rumoured to be the strongest female wolf around. A true warrior...

Someone who never backed down from a fight. They say she caused a distraction, shifting and carrying her pup in her mouth,
with her mate on her back. She fled but it wasn’t enough for Andres... not wanting the past to come back, he never rested.
Seeking out where the Obsidian Shadow pack lived, to the point where they were forced into hiding... The king’s word is law,
and they say he made sure
everyone knew the Obsidian Shadow pack were enemies.” 2 Something inside of me twisted as I stared into those amber eyes
that held far more emotions than they should have... Yes, the story was heart-breaking but... it was almost as if Theon could feel
that pain... like he was experiencing it himself. Was it not all hearsay? “So, is that why the Obsidian Shadow Pack wishes to take
over? They feel they deserve to be in control of this city?” I asked quietly. “Hmm, revenge. Revenge for all that was taken from
them. To show Andres that no matter what, he will pay for the crimes he has committed.” His voice was low, sinister even...
My heart raced as I looked up into the amber eyes of the man before me... amber... like the crest of the Hale family...
Fear enveloped me as I held his gaze, I was suddenly seeing him in a new light.
A man who was worthy of being Alpha... A man who had a wolf like an Alpha... A man who talked of vengeance and revenge
often enough... A man who only came to this city two years ago... 2
“And does the Hale family want to take revenge on the family and pack of the Alpha king too? “I asked softly, trying to rein in my
emotions.
The hatred towards Charlene... The look of hatred when the king had asked him to leave... Was I overthinking it?
What if Theon had never lost his memory? What if he came to Westerfell to get close to the king?
“What’s wrong, Yileyna? Shocked that your king may not be the man you thought?” His gaze flicked from my lips to my eyes, and
I simply nodded.
No, I’m scared that I’m right. What if Theon was somehow more than he was portraying?
“My father said there are always three sides to a story, in this case; Alpha Andres’s, Alpha Theoden’s, and the truth... What
Alpha Theoden is doing is wrong...” I trailed off, my breath hitching as I placed a hand on my chest. “He was the reason behind
my parents dying. In his revenge, he is also killing the innocent...”
If I was true... then... then...
Theon must have known of the attack...

I looked into those amber eyes that were watching me intently, and for the first time in my life, they truly terrified me...
“Maybe so, but war always has casualties.” “It sounds like you know a lot, to a point it feels like you believe the version told by
The Obsidian Shadow pack.” I said, trying to act normal. His eyes seemed to darken as he ran his knuckles down my cheek,
making me shiver. “Of course not, I was just telling you the other version. A version that no one really believes anyway.” He said,
turning away. Everything seemed to ease up, I let out a breath of relief and a giddy laugh at my ridiculous thoughts.
Goddess. Where was my mind going?
“Why do you look so scared, Little Storm?” Theon asked with a small smirk.
“Nothing. I’m crazy.” I couldn’t resist smiling up at him, and the ridiculous thoughts that had crossed my mind.
“I already knew that.” He whispered huskily, making me gasp when he squeezed my waist, tugging me slightly closer. “So... Will
you let me take you away from here?” “Is my safety of that much importance to you?”
He looked into my eyes, his face only inches from mine.
“Do you want it to be?” He asked, making my eyelids flutter shut for a moment as I tried to control my emotions.
“Don’t play mind games.” I rebutted with a roll of my eyes. The rain was trickling down his hair, dripping from his nose and lips,
the urge to kiss him was powerful.
Move away, Yileyna.
I made the mistake to shift slightly in his hold, my stomach brushing against his package, which I realised was semi-hard. Making
my own core clench. My stomach fluttered as I heard him suck in a breath. I blushed as our eyes met, the sexual tension
between us feeling too much.
“So what’s it going to be, Little Storm? Will you let me take you away from here?”
“I can’t.” I said softly.
He frowned, exhaling in frustration.
“It’s nice to see you so worried though, but you don’t need to be. I mean, I’m more surprised that you haven’t told your idea to the
king, you and him usually love ganging up on me, and anyone else.” I said, knowing I needed to pull away.

My core was already aching at the proximity, and I feared that he’d soon smell my arousal. “He wouldn’t listen.” He said quietly,
before letting go of me, his eyes raking over my soaking body. “Let’s get you back.”
I nodded. “Oh and one more thing, make sure what we talked about stays between us.”
I nodded. I understood that, after all, if it was treason to talk of it then I wouldn’t risk getting him in trouble... however why would
it be treason unless the king had something to hide..? 1. did need to talk to him...
I needed to know his full version.
I would come up with a plan to get the truth out of him. Maybe, just maybe, I would break my promise to Theon.
Dad always said; listen to all sides of the story before jumping to conclusions... I had never heard of the Obsidian Shadow Pack
having a hand in securing this land.
We made our way back in silence, his hand wrapped around my wrist. He took me back to my room via the window, his hand on
my lower back as I slipped into the bedroom. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said emotionlessly once again. “Hmm, don’t think I’ll
agree to this engagement just because you were charming for an hour or so.” I stated haughtily, reaching for the window when
his hand clamped over mine, refusing to allow me to pull it shut. “We both know charming doesn’t do it for you anyway. Correct
me if I’m wrong, Little Storm, but we both know it’s anything but charming that gets you soaking wet?” I gasped when his hand
wrapped around my throat, tugging me towards him. “Well, it’s definitely not you anymore.” I shot back breathlessly as he leaned
in, his hand tightening around my throat. “I can smell you, Little Storm. Keep playing hard to get and I will take the challenge. I’ll
bend you over and fuck you like the dirty little whore you are.” My pussy clenched at his words, and if he had been lying about
smelling my arousal before, he definitely would now. “Shame I don’t want you to.” I managed to reply, shoving him lightly, enough
to make him let go but not enough to push him off the ledge. His eyes flashed and I simply smirked, blowing him a mock kiss
before I shut and locked the window quickly, letting out a sigh of relief. I felt giddy, Theon was already weaving his way back in
and I refused to let him. I can’t fall for it. Not again. 2 I looked around the guest room, I needed clothes, I better go sneak to
Charlene’s room and find something to wear. I made my way to the bedroom door silently, seeing that Charlene was still fast
asleep. I opened the door, exiting silently, and closed it behind me as I made my way down the hall to Charlene’s room, leaving a
trail of water in my wake. I slowly opened it, and peered inside, before turning the light on and stepping in. I went over to her
wardrobe, opening it and taking out something that might fit, when I heard footsteps from behind me. 1 “Oh, so you finally
decided to return after whoring around.” 2 I paused, turning to face my accuser...
