ANDRES She was mine… My daughter, and I hadn't even realised it. Why had I not seen it? Did William know that she was mine? Is that why he never told me she was adopted? I had not realised nor suspected it, not until tonight, the moment she had turned I thought I was seeing my past… A secret that I had not told anyone, not even when I told Theon had I revealed the full truth. Deliana had not been a one-night stand… The memories of long ago haunted me, and no matter how much I wanted to push them away, I couldn’t. We had met by accident; I had been injured by some rogues and I was by the coast at night. I had heard her singing and it had drawn me, yet instead of ripping my heart out, she had helped me when she realised I was injured. Stemming my bleeding and wrapping my wounds. She had been the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, goddess there was no woman who held even a candle in comparison to her beauty… Despite being a siren, she seemed to be innocent and pure-hearted, c
THEON When I left the cells, my mind was spinning… I had slept with the daughter of my enemy. She was the daughter of a siren… I was still able to deal with that somewhat, but his daughter? I felt sick and angry at myself for even allowing it to happen. I had never made the link between them… Even those eyes that I loved were the same shade as his. Fuck this. I punched the stone wall of the pillar in front of me. Pain jarred up my arm and a crack appeared in the stone. I clenched my fist in anger. Andres’ daughter… A sudden thought came to me, and I frowned, deep in thought. Her powers seemed to be blocked… The heart was sealed… Yileyna was obviously much more powerful than Charlene and held power, was there a possibility that she could be the heart? The mage was blind… My heart thudded as I turned, realising he had looked in the direction of…. Both girls, they had been together. ‘Remember, the heart of Kaeladia belongs to all.’ An Alpha female… Yileyna was definitely mo
YILEYNA The sound of keys and metal screeching made my eyes snap open; it took me a second to realise I was on the floor in the cell. I turned, my heart thumping when my eyes met Theon’s. "The Alpha wishes to see you." He said emotionlessly, looking away from me. I nodded as I got to my feet, pulling my dress up from my breasts. I probably looked a mess, but there was little I could do about it. He didn’t even look my way again, something about the coldness oozing from Theon unnerved me. He led the way from the cell and up the stairs at a swift pace, as I followed. I wanted to know how Raiden was, I don’t think asking Theon would be the smart thing to do. I’d ask the king… I wondered what his verdict was going to be. Why did the king want to see me anyway? I felt a mess and those who passed us in the halls were looking at me, I wonder what state my face was in. "I need to pee." I said suddenly. "Hold it." "What?" I stopped in my tracks, I heard him exhale before he turned and g
YILEYNA His words reignited that illicit desire within me. I used all my willpower to pull free, and turning, I faced him. "He commanded you as my bodyguard, which means your job is to follow me around wherever I go. Right now, I am going to go see Charlene, and then I'm going to visit Raiden. Mess up and interfere in what I do, and I swear I’ll tell the king that I don’t want you as my guard." I replied, warning him. Theon frowned, glaring coldly at me. "Yeah, the only thing is the king said you are not to see Charlene until he has had a word with the Luna." My heart skipped a beat. No. I needed to tell Charlene first, before the king. "Well then, guess what?" I whispered, stepping closer to him, planning to throw him off guard, but he didn’t fall for it, frowning and grabbing hold of my arm and holding me at arm's length. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Shame it didn’t work. "What are you trying to pull?" I shrugged, pulling free and turning away. "Nothing at all, ju
ANDRES I had barely slept all night, remaining in my office, yet I now returned to my quarters to speak to Soleil… A lot weighed upon her answer. Unlocking the door to our quarters, I stepped inside. ‘You might want to make sure Charlene stays home, Yileyna just tried to get her to sneak out.’ Theon’s voice came through the link. I closed my eyes, exhaling deeply. What would I do without him? Theon was a great help, although the colour of his eyes often unnerved me. ‘I will handle it. She is far too disobedient.’ I replied through the link before mind-linking Charlene. ‘Stay in your room until I summon you. This is very important.’ ‘D-dad… is Yileyna ok?’ ‘Perfectly, fear not, I will not have her punished. It was a mistake — the pendant I mean.’ It was strange to think Charlene was not mine. "Andres! You didn’t come home; I was worried you had your block up! What is going on!" Soleil said, coming over. Like always, she was dressed perfectly, upholding the image of the perfect
YILEYNA "Calm the fuck down, Yileyna." Theon growled as he pushed against the whirling wind. My head was going to explode! He knew the king’s attitude, and I knew that he would have gone to talk to Soleil. Charlene would be there, and he wouldn’t take care to break it to her gently. We both knew the king was selfish, yet Theon stopped her from coming here… I could have done it in a better way! I could have told her in a gentler manner! She may or may not be my biological sister, but she was always going to be my soul sister regardless of blood. I was scared, terrified that she would be hurt because of me… and Theon. He had to go mess everything up! "Don’t tell me to calm down." I hissed, clenching my fists as I stormed over to him, the wind whipping around us like a hurricane. "If I messed up something of yours, you would lose your shit! So don’t tell me to calm down! This was so important, Theon!" "The Alpha can handle her himself. Stop causing a fucking scene." He growled, glan
CHARLENE "Can you hear me, Yileyna?" The king asked, taking a seat on the bed, placing his hands on his knees as he turned towards us both. "I asked you; how are you feeling?" "I'm fine." Yileyna replied, sounding hostile. Although she was trying to control her emotions, it was obvious that she was angry with Dad. I looked between them, realising their eye colour was so similar… How was this possible? Who was Yileyna’s mother? "I heard you had Gamma Grayson locked away. What are his crimes?" Yileyna asked. Gamma Grayson… He was my father… I swallowed hard, thinking what would happen from here on out? What would happen to me? "Betraying his king and having an illicit relationship with his Luna. It is an insult to me, the Alpha!" Dad growled, his eyes blazing. Yileyna nodded. "Will you too serve prison time for your own illicit affair, which is an insult to your Luna?" She asked, blinking innocently. Dad’s face almost turned purple at that blatant insult. I almost smiled. There
YILEYNA Sparks erupted through every ounce of my body, so intense that I wasn’t sure where they started and where they ended. His hand that encased my waist, the way his hard chiselled body was crushed against mine, igniting that intense pleasure and desire that only he could. My core throbbed in response to his perfect plush lips moving dominatingly against mine. A soft whimper was on the tip of my tongue, when reality hit. Stop. Using all my anger to give me strength, I pushed him away roughly, and no matter how much I had enjoyed that kiss of his, I placed a disgusted look on my face and made the obvious display of wiping my lips. "How is that revenge?!" I growled, sounding far too breathless for my liking. I saw the tip of Charlene’s hair as she fled the room, shutting the door behind her. This girl… "Oh, why not? Did you happen to enjoy it?" Theon asked coldly, raising an eyebrow. "No!" I denied a little too quickly. He scoffed lightly, his cold intense gaze on me. "Earl
