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

Chapter 85



I smiled softly, I couldn‘t believe just this morning I was beginning to feel doubtful about him, to the point that I wondered if he
could be a traitor. I shook my head and placed my hand in his.
“I guess we should.” I replied airily, trying to ignore the sparks that softly tingled through me.
A few guests chuckled, whilst I heard someone say they should drinkin mourning that I was no longer available.
I watched as Theon slid the stunning ring onto my finger, it was made from a platinum white gold with a pale blue emerald cut
diamond at its centre. Surrounded by small clear diamonds that covered the double band of the ring itself. 1!
It was a perfect fit.
My heart was such a storm of emotions that I was no longer able to think straight. I took the ring for Theon from the cushion, my
hand shaking as I held my hand out to him, his eyes burning into me.
“Any moment now?” He whispered mockingly, making me try an attempt at a glare before I managed to slip the dark engraved
ring onto his finger.
The moment it was on, everyone broke into cheers and applause.
Everyone began to come over to greet us. It was all so fast that I was unable to remember who was who. Theon‘s arm slid
around my waist protectively, pulling me to his side. Someone passed us drinks, but it was all a haze after that. People were
introducing themselves, and others were asking questions about when the marriage would take place. Asking the king when I
would take over from him. When there would be an heir.
I replied when I could, trying to remain calm in the face of their obvious insinuation that I, as a female, was not enough and
needed to produce an heir soon.
“Congratulations!” Raiden said, now coming over, a smile on his face despite the glimmer of sadness in his eyes. “I‘m happy for
you.”
“Thank you.” I said softly, pulling away from Theon. I hugged him. “Thank you for everything.”
And I‘m sorry... Sorry I‘m not the woman for you. 1
“Nothing to thank me for.” He said, giving me a tight squeeze.

“Well well well... congratulations.”
My mood darkened as I recognised the voice of none other than Nikolai. I would never forget what he tried to do... ever.
My heart thundered as Theon‘s eyes flashed.
“Thank you.” I said icily.
“You look beautiful... princess now, right?”
“Keep talking and you and your title will be dead soon enough.” Theon said coldly, his eyes shimmering gold.
“I apologise for any insult caused, I‘m only here to offer my congratulations...”
“Leave, Nikolai.” Raiden said frowning, although he wasn‘t sure what was going on, it was obvious he could sense the tension.
I ignored Nikolai‘s gaze that I could feel crawling along my skin, taking hold of Theon‘s arm.
“Come on, everyone‘s about to eat, let‘s go talk.” I whispered, placing my empty glass down.
“Yileyna, Theon, come on, it‘s time to eat.” Charlene said. I glanced at Theon, who was frowning
“Fuck, again.” He muttered.
“We can talk later?” I suggested as he licked his lips and glanced at me.
“Doesn‘t seem like we have any other choice now, does it?” He asked, his hand caressing my waist.
My heart skipped a beat as he yanked me close.
“Theon...”
I knew we had a thousand eyes upon us.
“Yileyna...”
I smiled despite myself, I felt like I was on cloud nine, but a part of me was still scared. Was this really a dream come true?
The moment his fingers curled under my chin, tilting my head up and claiming my lips in a toe –curling, orgasm–inducing kiss; I
lost all sense of reality. My entire body ignited with pleasure. I heard a small moan escape me, but it was so far away as I clung

to him, gripping onto his shirt tightly. His lips moved against mine sinfully, my core clenching as he slipped his tongue into my
mouth.
Goddess...
I felt him throb against me and he pulled away suddenly, as if reality had just hit him, his eyes blazing gold, and I saw him scan
the hall as if looking for someone.
“Everything ok?” I asked confused.
He nodded, looking into my eyes for a fleeting moment before he looked away.
“Yeah, let‘s go.”
I was glad he kept a hold on my waist, because I was sure if he had not been holding me, I would have fallen. My lips still tingled
from his kiss, my heart still raced, and every nerve in my body seemed to buzz, feeling extra sensitive.
We walked to the Alpha King‘s table, and I was brought back to reality. I had not sat at this table for so long but it still left a sour
taste in my mouth. There were two either side of the king, he motioned for Theon and me to take them.
Theon took the seat where the queen usually sat, and I saw Charlene about to sit down in the seat next to her usual place. I
walked over swiftly, flashing her a smile as I sat down on the
other seat, pushing her towards her usual seat beside the king.
She frowned slightly but sat down as the king gave me a disapproving frown. I ignored him, glancing over at Theon, who sat on
his other side, looking as sexy and arrogant as ever.
I had somehow ended up back in his hold... but... I couldn‘t deny I felt excited,
“How are you feeling?” I whispered to Charlene, as the king made his small speech of thanks to the gods for the food before us.
She gave me a nod and a smile. “I‘m ok.” She replied and I gave her hand a gentle squeeze, glad she was coping ok.

“So tell me, Princess Yileyna, how much do you know about the kingdom? After all, you were not raised to be an Alpha.” One of
the King‘s closest allies, Alpha Romeo, asked. He was a man a few years younger than the king, and someone who had a

powerful pack.
“I know enough to know that there are many things that need changing.” I replied before the king interrupted. “Now Theon here
knows far more...” He said, making Alpha Romeo turn his attention to Theon.
“Goddess, the king should just marry Theon himself.” I muttered, earning a giggle from Charlene and a glare from Theon.
I simply smirked at him.
Both Alpha‘s looked at me confused, as if they weren‘t sure if they had misheard. Neither asked. After all, it would be an insult to
their mighty hearing if they couldn‘t hear properly.
I blinked innocently then returned to their conversation, and I too paid attention to it.
Dinner passed in a blur, but I was glad to realise that I knew rather a lot, and when I did give my input, even the King was
surprised at times. I didn‘t shy away from speaking my mind or asking about something that I did not understand, and by the end
of the meal, Alpha Romeo said to the king that he felt I would make a good Alpha.
“You impress me.” The king said to me, with a nod of approval as an elder Alpha couple walked away.
“I am not trying to impress anyone.” I replied, just as I heard heavy footsteps. I turned, instantly sensing the tension from both the
king and Theon. I looked at the man who was approaching, flanked by two men. Power oozed off him. He was handsome,
rugged, muscular and not much shorter than Theon. His brown hair, which was long on top, was sleeked back and tied, his
taupe–coloured eyes were sharp; and he had a short beard, with a scar across the bridge of his nose. He didn‘t look much older
than Theon, dressed a lot simpler than most here, yet he dripped with authority and dominance.
“Alpha Andres, it‘s been a while.” He smiled ever so slightly, but somehow it looked more challenging.
“Alpha Hunter Slade Carson... It‘s an honour. Yileyna meet Alpha Hunter of the Iron Claw Pack, Alpha Hunter my daughter,
Yileyna, and her fiancé Theon.” 1
Iron Claw... I now realised why they were so tense.
The Iron Claw Pack were a neutral pack, that didn‘t get involved with the political aspect of the kingdom, yet they were powerful
and guarded the entire far border that separated us from Naraan– a Naga Empire.

“It‘s an honour, Alpha Yileyna, Alpha Theon...” He took my hand in his large calloused one, placing a rough kiss on the back of it
before turning his attention to Theon. A small smirk crossed his lips before he stepped forward. “Congratulations.” He said, giving
Theon a manly hug. One which he returned emotionlessly. 2
“Thank you.” Theon replied curtly.
Hunter smirked slightly before his dangerous gaze turned to Charlene, who stood behind me. I didn‘t miss the way he gave her a
once–over, with that familiar look of lust and hunger that he hid well.
Men...
“And this is your other daughter, correct?” He asked the king. “Yes. My daughter Charlene.” The king said, pushing Charlene
forward. “It‘s a pleasure to meet you Alpha Hunter.” Charlene said gracefully.
“The pleasure‘s all mine.” He responded in a deep voice that seemed to resonate from within his chest. 3
He held his hand out to her, and Charlene took it. He gave it a kiss, one that lasted longer than mine, his eyes locked with hers. I
almost smiled, promising myself I would tease her later.
She blushed as he let go of her hand and gave the king a nod.
“How is the eastern border?” The king said, looking between Charlene and Hunter. I could almost see the cogs turning in his
head as he looked at Charlene for a moment, before turning his attention back to Hunter.
“The usual, Naga‘s being bastards, so we pick them off like the snakes they are.” He said with a cold smirk.
That was harsh...
“When they attack of course?” Charlene asked as Hunter tilted his head, raising an eyebrow at her.
“Whenever they are too close to the border.” He corrected her, as the king nodded in approval.
“As it should be.” He said, frowning at her.
Charlene and I exchanged looks but said nothing. Something about Hunter Slade gave me an unnerving feeling, but I wasn‘t
about to argue with him. It was obvious things weren‘t as calm as they appeared here. “Excuse us.” Theon said coldly, placing a
hand on my lower back.

The two men nodded as Charlene also bowed her head, giving me a wink and mouthing good luck‘ before she too excused
herself and went over to where Ryan and Raiden were standing. I didn‘t miss Hunter‘s gaze following her. I glanced at her as
both Ryan and Raiden complimented her, I wonder how she felt knowing that Ryan was her brother...
