YILEYNA Killed by a siren… I was unable to ignore the pang of pain that washed through me. No matter what he had done, his mother and sister were not a part of it, and my heart broke for them. So, this was why Theon held so much hatred towards the sirens. This war between our species had gone on for far too long, how long would the two species carry on like this? What started this? Was there a way to end it all? I didn’t let my emotions show and instead I raised my eyebrow challengingly, trying not to be drowned by his scent. "Well, I'm sure you will at least be pleased when I lose my head." I replied icily, turning away from him. Deep down I was unable to shake off the fact he had warned me about his father and was telling me to keep my heritage a secret from him… Was there a part of Theon that knew his father was wrong? Was there anything in him that I could justify? "I'm warning you. From tomorrow I will take you to train as Dad wishes, be on your best behaviour Yileyna, becau

YILEYNA I raised an eyebrow. "I wish I could. If you forgot, I don’t have a wolf, nor is it possible when I'm bound in silver." I raised my shackled wrists, giving him a dirty look. "But silver hasn’t brought you to your knees as it should now, has it?" He remarked. I couldn’t let him know the truth and I simply shrugged. "Think whatever you want." He didn’t respond as he watched me calculatingly, clenching his jaw. I knew Theon, and sadly he knew me... He had been around us for so long, and he often knew what I would be up to… For the first time, I wished he didn’t know me as well as he did. To my surprise, he didn’t bother me any further, glancing to the left fleetingly before we continued on. "Don’t you think it’s foolish to have me only bound by a little silver and a few suppression spells?" I asked instead, hoping to divert the conversation from any suspicion he may have. "No, because the moment you try to escape, I will give the signal and they will kill the Gamma female

THEON My mate? I could hear my heart beating violently in my ears. Her words and the pain that ripped me apart internally shocked me to the core. She was mine… But with the mate bond sealed, I had never realised. Now the jerking away and the struggle I often saw her in made sense. It wasn’t her hatred, although I knew that was there, it was the bond. The night when she released her powers she must have realised. I remember the look of pure shock in her eyes before she had been knocked out. What kind of game are you playing Selene? I saw Arabella approach her, knowing she was about to do something to her limp body, I forced myself to sit up. Although I was in enough agony to pass out, there was something about these cuts that were burning me up, the pain spreading through me and up my neck. They made my head squeeze in agony. "Don’t do anything! Bring her to me." I growled, unable to move with the intense pain. Arabella paused. With her long black hair, dark eyes, and ashy skin

YILEYNA My heart thundered as I felt the final severing of the bond, and the pain that came with it, unable to stop the tears from falling. This was it… Thank the gods for the rain… The whimper of my wolf and the ache in my chest only grew as Theon stepped away from me. "You should go, I managed to direct them the other way to give you some time, but it won’t be long before they realise-" "I don’t need your help. I was doing fine… without..." I managed to say, still thrown by his acceptance. For the first time, it was as if he did something to make me happy… and not for his own selfish gains… Suddenly, a huge wave reached the sky. Theon pulled me on instinct away from the sea, but to my horror, there within the wave were not one, but three sirens. Three terrifyingly beautiful sirens, and their eyes were on me. "That’s…" I heard Theon murmur. "Tempest…" With cold realisation, I looked at the blonde in the middle. With her deep red eyes and black and red tail, I recognised her.

CHARLENE I was terrified for Yileyna, with every passing day I wondered if she was ok. She was alone, and although I knew Theon loved her after his deceit, I didn’t know what to think. I was trying to tell myself he wouldn’t let anything happen to her, but I was terrified too. She was brave, but she was all alone. It was hard for Gamma Grayson too, knowing that his mate was left behind, but there was no other choice. I hadn't told him about who I was because I didn’t want it to become an extra burden for him. I was ok with him not knowing. Knowing that Mom and Dad were killed felt painful. Even if they weren’t fully good people, I still loved them. Dad’s death had hit me harder, I just wish I could have told him goodbye and that I loved him, even if he wasn’t my biological father, he was the one who raised me and had always treated me better than Mom. We had travelled to two packs, however Obsidian Shadow Pack guards stood at the entrances, and we were not able to even meet those
