TRIGGER WARNING – CHAPTER CONTAINS DISTRESSING SCENES – I will mark the most upsetting part with a double line of ***** YILEYNA. I looked in the mirror at the gown that I wore, trying to calm the storm that bubbled beneath the surface. It was the following day, and after being given food and allowed to bathe, two omegas had come to help me get ready. Now, save for the thick black collar around my neck that was cutting into my skin, I looked like a queen, but it was not the queen I wanted to be. I was wearing an off-shoulder amber gown, that was cinched in from the waist with a jewelled corset, and skirts that flowed to the floor with two slits down the sides. My hair was up in a coiled bun, adorned with a gold tiara. My arms and hands were covered with jewellery, and my make-up was dark. Theoden’s queen, that was what I had become, but I didn’t recognise the woman staring back at me. I wish I had some way to contact Deliana, but goddess knows where my necklace was. I had tried to

THEON. The doors to the castle were opened for me, and although I could sense the tension and uncertainty from the guards, it was obvious that despite the fact they may be suspicious or cautious of me, they were unable to refuse me entry. All eyes were on me as I walked through the courtyard, illuminated by a few dim lanterns. "The King’s son is back!" "Alpha Theon is here!" "Alpha, come, I will have a room ready for you immediately." One of the castle servants offered. "I wish to see my father, immediately." I replied coldly. Despite the calmness I was portraying, I was a mess inside. I wanted to see Yileyna, wanted to make sure she was ok. It was plaguing my mind to not know what she was going through. I had travelled for hours straight, and I made the journey that should have taken much longer, I completed it in a day. Just the thought of Yileyna was enough to keep pushing me to carry on. My muscles were screaming in exhaustion, but I didn’t let it show. "The Alpha is ready

THEON. She stood up, still clutching the bundle in her arms, as I entered and swiftly shut the door behind me. Closing the gap between us, I pulled her into my arms. Our hearts hammered as I held her tightly. "Theon." She whispered, my hand weaved into her hair. I tugged her head up, pressing my lips to her forehead as I closed my eyes, inhaling her scent. Fuck, she was here… alive… "Hush, I got you." I murmured. She clung to me with one hand, the other clutching the bundle that she was treasuring, and I forced myself back to see what she was holding. "It’s a baby." She whispered, fresh tears spilling down her cheeks. There was no heartbeat. My heart sank as a thousand thoughts ran through my mind. "The baby died because I lost control of my powers." She whimpered, staring at the dead baby in her arms. How could he? I tried to control my own emotions as I slowly took the body of the baby from her. She let go reluctantly and I placed him down on the bed. Theoden was beyond fu

CHARLENE. It was late when Theoden had entered the cells with a few men, pointing at a few of us and talking through the mind link. I wasn’t sure what they were saying. My heart filled with fear as Raiden, Thea, and I were dragged from the cells, bound and blindfolded. Where were they taking us? Gamma Grayson had been taken not long ago, and I was terrified to think where he may be. The beatings I had seen others go through terrified me, and just the memory of Raiden being tortured again made it hard to breathe. Luckily, Theoden hadn't seen my mark, the high-neck dress I had been wearing had hidden it, and when the guards had seen it afterwards, none cared about it. I was not a threat, but I knew if they even got wind of the fact that I was Hunter’s mate, the consequences would be horrifying. Chosen or fated, they would not let me go. It was Hunter’s name that was plastered across the resistance, and they hadn't hidden the fact they wanted him dead. Now more than ever I needed to b

CHARLENE. That night we talked hours into the night, filling each other in on everything that had happened. Listening to the things Thea had been subjected to at the hands of her father shocked me, and I realised how lucky I was to grow up with a father who sheltered me. Even if I never saw eye-to-eye with my mother, it was still nothing compared to what she had been through. We all had slowly drifted off, but my sleep was plagued with nightmares of burning bodies, Hunter dying… Yileyna dying, and the world being conquered by evil. The following day, no one came, and we simply sat there; starving, thirsty, and tired. I felt too exhausted to talk much, and the day passed painstakingly slow. I was unsure when sleep kept pulling me into its folds, and I had come down with a high temperature. I know they were talking to me but nothing made much sense anymore… I awoke with a jolt and sat up my heart pounding, as I scanned the area trying to figure out why I had awoken, when I saw the

YILEYNA. The day of the gathering had come, and I was lucky that I hadn't seen Theoden again. The memory of what almost happened still placed a sliver of fear within me. What could have happened if Theon didn’t arrive? A guard would come to give me food a few times, and had taken the baby. Although I had asked if he would return the baby to the parents, I wasn’t sure he would, as he had simply slammed the door behind him. Theon had slipped inside yesterday, leaving a dagger and a few charms with me, telling me that today was the day of the attack. Theoden was planning something tonight, I had to stay alert. As for the necklace given to me by Lavine, he had said he had a good idea where it might be, and if he didn’t manage to find it, then he would go to the coast and try to contact someone by other means. I was certain the sirens would be on alert. Waiting. I was now pacing the room, feeling suffocated and useless, when suddenly the door opened and Arabella entered, along with tw

THEON. “Theon… Are you content with what I am doing?” Theoden asked as he patted my shoulder. I had just talked to Yileyna through the link, and I was planning on leaving soon. Most of yesterday had passed looking for the necklace, and to see if I could find anything on the Dark Ones. Theoden was far too busy to do much, and he kept giving me jobs away from the castle, not that I minded since I needed an excuse to leave at times. “Of course.” I replied. I was wearing a high neck top to cover my mark, and it was taking me immense restraint to keep my powers in check. Powers that had strengthened since she marked me, the mark upon my neck which I did not deserve. I was lucky that I trained for years to gain self-control and pull back my aura. “Then trust in me, no matter what happens, remember your father is only doing what the gods would approve of. It is time for all those who have hurt us, to pay. The beginning of the end for the sirens will happen as I promised!” “I can’t wait.
My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance 49. The Start of a Dark Night
YILEYNA. The laughter and the music felt distant. The largest courtyard was transformed beautifully, decorated with lanterns, flowers, and vines. They ran across the tables, the pillars, and the furniture. Two thrones sat upon a dais, where Theoden and I now sat. I still wore my veil, to disguise the collar. The moment for our wedding to take place was coming ever closer… The long tables were full of meat and wine, although I could tell that not everyone was enjoying themselves. What had started off with the Alphas offering their gifts to Theoden, with fear and uncertainty, was now a place of false merriment. A few looked at me guiltily for betraying me for their own wellbeing and safety, but most were far too cowardly to care. Yet I was proud to see that many were not impressed with Theoden. With each passing moment, I could feel the darkness becoming far more potent. I could sense it in the air, feeding on the Alphas' restlessness and the fear that they were trying to hide. The
