Thank you for reading and leaving gems! ♡♡♡
YILEYNA I opened my eyes and smiled, seeing Theon lying there; his eyes closed, his one arm under his head, the other one loosely draped over his chiselled stomach. Sexy, hot, and absolutely divine from every angle. I had a god in my bed, and I was not complaining, or more like he had me in his bed considering this was his cabin. I looked around the room and smiled, we were finally home. We had arrived late last night and had all retreated to bed. The journey back had taken eleven days. In that time, there had been three attacks on the ship, but to everyone’s shock, we had made it back without anyone dying or seriously injured. Everyone joked that having the Alpha king’s daughter on board must have surely brought us luck. It was obvious that life at sea was extremely dangerous, and in the last decade the number of ships lost at sea only grew, but it was clear that luck had been on our side for this journey. I lifted my head, rolling onto my side so I could look at his handsome fac
THEON Charlene gasped, and a tense silence fell over the room. Yileyna’s question hung in the air. It was impressive how she had asked that so bravely, a question that had been on my own mind. Maybe she was losing that innocence. I liked it. "Nothing. I have done nothing." He said quietly, but despite his words, he frowned deeply as he swiftly walked to the window, staring out into the distance. That was not the reaction of someone who had done nothing. Andres was the type to have Yileyna thrown into the cells as a punishment for accusing him, unless of course, it hit home. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Charlene look up at Yileyna, poking her eyes out at her. A silent warning not to instigate the king. But the blonde bombshell simply shrugged and glanced over at me. Our eyes met, and her heart began racing. She looked incredibly sexy in that little dress, and the way that corset wrapped her tiny waist… I frowned, looking away, I hated how she distracted me. The king's wor
YILEYNA "I don’t think Dad told us everything." Charlene sighed as we walked down the hall. I nodded in agreement, our voices echoing in the halls. The windows were frosted, a sign that winter was truly here. "I agree." I replied, sighing. "That comment about finding you a man to handle the Alpha title…" "Yeah, it annoyed me too. Hey, wait, surely he’ll tell Theon the full story right?" "I'm guessing so, he loves him far more than me." I replied, rolling my eyes. The Alpha seemed to dislike me more and more as of late. "But Theon loves you! So, you can seduce the answers out of him and then share with me?" She nudged me, blinking hopefully. I stopped and planted my hands on my hips. "Seriously, my queen? Do you think Theon would spill?" "I'm sure he spills enough, what is a few small secrets?" She winked suggestively at me, and it took me a second to realise what she meant. My eyes widened as I blushed. "Charl!" She burst into laughter, and I shoved her lightly. "Ouch, y
YILEYNA We broke apart, my arousal scenting the air and the large poky thing that was pressing against my stomach told me I wasn’t the only one who was turned on. "As much as skipping dinner sounds very appealing, I am starved." I whispered, running my hand over his package. His eyes blazed and he kissed my neck hungrily, making me whimper. "I plan to have you for dessert anyway." He replied. His hand was still holding the side of my neck and face as he moved back slightly, his face inches from mine, our eyes locked. I looked away from his intense amber eyes and led the way to the table. I took a seat, then Theon sat down opposite me, scanning the table. "I never knew you could cook. Unless of course, it just looks good… I’m mentally prepared to be food poisoned." I gave him a pointed look. "You won’t get food poisoning! Besides, you’re a werewolf. You can eat raw meat and live. But you don’t need to worry because my cooking is very good. I'm good at many things, actually. Apar
THEON Last night still replayed in my mind, and although another day had come and gone, I couldn’t bring myself to return to the cabin. It had felt too… intimate. Against my better instincts, I had been unable to hurt her by walking out. That in itself should be warning enough for me. She was having an effect on me, far more than she should. I should have walked out last night, but seeing the hurt in her eyes… Fuck I wish I could say it was how ravishing she looked that made me stay, but it wasn’t. I didn’t want to see tears in her eyes, unless, of course, they were caused by when we were getting physical… Just the thought of her naked body made my dick twitch. Was I falling for her? Was I even capable of that? I had spent years trying to squash all my feelings, so why was she able to break the impenetrable shield I had placed around myself? "Here you go, handsome." The blonde who had just placed a fresh tankard in front of me said in a flirty tone. I cast her a cold glare, not
YILEYNA Theon had arrived sometime late at night, he seemed rather quiet, and that’s saying something for Theon. He had told me Charlene’s training was beginning today and it would be under Madelia and himself. I had just asked if I could attend too. "You won’t be able to handle seeing her go through it." "What do you mean?" I asked concerned, as I removed the pendant from the vinegar and began scrubbing it. Wow, it was looking so much better, and the stone was beginning to look a little less dull brown. I carried on scrubbing it firmly. "Let’s just say the techniques are usually used for torture." He said, drinking his coffee from where he was sitting at the table, looking as godly as ever. I frowned deeply, a flare of anger going through me. "Does the king know?" I asked sharply. "Yeah, he’s the one who recommended several of the methods. We had a meeting with the princess yesterday afternoon too. She knows it's going to be brutal, but we need her powers to awaken." "But the
YILEYNAI regretted agreeing to training. I could barely walk straight, holding the fur coat tightly around me so it didn’t blow all over the place. It was beginning to snow, and I was sure a blizzard was headed our way. I had to drag my legs to move against the vicious winds.Theon was wearing a knee-length grey fur coat. It made me look him over whilst trying not to lick my lips in approval. He looked very regal and sexy, the coat only adding to the princely look he was displaying. His coppery hair blew in front of his forehead, yet he seemed unbothered by the cold. His breath was coming out in visible puffs.I think my wolf was really awakening because I didn’t feel as cold as I once would have. Another roaring bout of wind whipped against me, and I almost flew back from the sheer force. Theon’s arm wrapped around my shoulders, and he looked down at me with those eyes that seemed to burn into my soul. Even in the cold, he made me feel all warm inside.Once again, the words were on
YILEYNA The temperature dropped several notches, I felt it biting into my bones. "Ah…" I heard Charlene groan from somewhere nearby, but I couldn’t locate her. "The temperature will continue to drop, until your body will not be able to continue to function… Good luck." "When will you stop?" Charlene asked tensely. "Stop? There is no stopping, unless you find Madelia and are able to stop her yourself." Theon’s cold voice came. I nodded in concentration. Of course, they wouldn’t stop until we were near dead or passed out because they were trying to get Charlene to break the seal on her abilities. Things became colder and colder until I felt it become painful. They were lowering the temperature faster than I could focus. What do I do? A cry from Charlene made my heart thump. I couldn’t see her, but I needed to find her! She sounded like she was in agony. I closed my eyes, trying to sense where she was, listening to her heartbeat despite the cold. It was becoming far more bearabl
