Chapter 120


    My Alpha''s Betrayal: Burning In The mes Of His Vengeance Chapter 120


    30. Reuniting YILEYNA. The legion approaching burst from the trees, and it was an impressive sight.


    One of unity and strength.


    Werewolves in human and wolf forms, fae knights on horses, all wielding weapons and ready to attack.


    They stopped upon seeing us. but itwas the woman on the ck horse in the centre that made my


    heart skip a beat and the tears of happiness fill my eyes. I was unable to say anything, my emotions


    overwhelming me. I took a shuddering breath as our eyes met. It took her a moment to look me over,


    noticing the change in my appearance, but not once did she not recognise me or hesitate. Her beautiful


    green glistened with tears as she slid off her horse and ran towards me. My Queen. I stepped forward.


    Never had I been apart from her for so long and I had truly missed her. "My Angel." She sobbed the


    moment she flung her arms around my neck tightly. 4 I embraced her tightly, burying my nose in her


    shoulder. She smelt slightly different, but it was still her. still my Charlene. I was so relieved to see she


    looked healthy and well. ''Thank the gods.’ I whispered, stroking her hair. "Well. well. well. A traitor is in


    our midst Should we cut his throat?’ Ryan’s harsh voice made me pull away and look at the others,


    many of whom were pointing their swords at Theon. 1 Raiden. Ryan, Gamma Grayson and many Fae


    all had their eyes on him. hostility and rage clear in them all. Theon stood as arrogantly and


    emotionlessly as ever, as if he could take them all if the need arose. Deep down I knew he could do a


    lot of damage 2 ''No one will be cutting any throats." I dered loudly, looking up at Ryan warningly


    before turning and casting my gaze across the legion of men and a few women. "Lower your weapons."


    Fae? What were they doing here? ’It is a pleasure to see you have stepped into your powers. Queen


    Yileyna of Astalion." My heart thundered as I looked sharply at one of the men who had now stepped


    forward. In armour that was made of the finest designs. He removed his helmet and our eyes met.


    "Zarian?’ I stared at him. In his armour, with his hair braided up. he looked different... "At your service,


    my queen. You look far more beautiful than before, if that is even possible. The only thing missing is a


    crown adorning your head." He said, taking my hand and kissing it I could feel many eyes upon me. but


    I ignored them, simply smiling at the man before me. I still didn’t know what he was doing here...


    dressed like that ''Thank you. however, I am missing something, am I not Zarian?" ''All in good time, we


    have just reunited with one another.’ He smirked and moved back as Raiden stepped forward.


    ''Yileyna..." I turned to him. seeing the emotions in his eyes. I smiled, swallowing hard as I looked at the


    men gathered, before walking over to him and cupped his face in my hands. The fact that this army


    was here... meant he had done his best A true loyal warrior. "I did the right thing to make you my Beta.


    These men gathered here prove your loyalty and effort. Thank you. Beta Raiden." I pulled his head


    down, kissing his forehead gently. He gripped my elbows, looking into my eyes. His heart thundered,


    and his eyes spoke a thousand words as he looked me over. "It was my honour." He said simply.


    Something had changed. Somehow.- we had evolved. I knew I would never be able to return the


    feelings he had for me. "But nothing would have been possible without Alpha Hunter and Luna


    Charlene.’ 1 My heart skipped a beat as I turned sharply towards her. Please tell me she didn’t agree to


    this for help! But when I saw the blush coating her cheeks. I knew she was happy. I closed my eyes in


    relief as Hunter stepped forward. I saw his gaze flicker to Thea, who? was staring at him with wide


    eyes. His gaze returned to me. and he smirked. ''My Luna considers you her sister, which then makes


    us family through marriage... My army and sword are yours tomand. Alpha Queen.'' A wind rippled


    through the trees, and I looked at those before me.


    The sirens, the fae. and werewolves... We will be united... "Let us set up camp, shall we? There is


    much to share.'' Gamma Grayson suggested. I nodded and nced over at Theon. who simply stood


    there his expression unreadable as Thea clung to his cloak. I realised that despite her still being strong


    and brave, the glimmer in her eyes as they darted around was of fear. Fear of what these men may be


    capable of. It only fuelled my anger towards Theoden. a man who was meant to be her father.- It was


    evening, and I. Theon. Hunter, Charlene, Thea, Ryan, Gamma Grayson. Raiden. Zarian. and a few


    higher officials belonging to both Hunter’s Pack and Zarian''s army, had just gone through everything we


    had learned and picked up on the way. The meeting that Theoden was organising was not far off. and


    like Hunter said, something about it felt odd._ Now more than ever the severity of the situation was


    getting to me. Zarian exined their dilemma, and although he had hidden his identity. I did not hold it


    against him. nor did I me him. Their situation was unfair, and there was a lot of work to do to unite


    the kingdoms on this side of the great oceans. I had just told them of the Emperor’s wish, without


    disclosing what the pearl could achieve. ''That is risky, going to Naran is._" ''A death wish." Hunter said,


    sitting forward. "But I understand it’s needed. A small team will be far more efficient, an army would be


    intercepted and attacked.'' Although he had gave Thea a smile here and there, they hadn’t talked.


    Neither had he and Theon, but I knew that was a conversation simply waiting to happen. "I don''t mind


    going alone, if I have to, any guidance would be wee." I replied. "You aren''t going alone." Theon


    added firmly. "If you are nning on going. I would argue against that. I don''t trust you.'' Ryan sneered


    coldly. His anger was justifiable. ''I wille with you." Raiden said, his eyes shing. "I’ll decide...


    Alpha Hunter, what can you tell me about the difficulties of entering Naran?" Hunter sighed, his arm


    wrapping around Charlene s shoulders. "It’s not going to be easy, the forestry is very dense, at some


    points it''s physically hard for most to even pass through the trees. Humid, suffocating, and full of deadly


    creatures. Getting in means they’ll know from the starting point. Nagas are dangerous things, but they


    do fear Sirens, you will have that one up on them as you know the way they have theirnds


    protected...’ "Makes it hard for Sirens to even venture to their territory..." ’Yes. their poison won’t kill


    sirens as it would werewolves or Fae, Mages are also at an advantage with their magic." Hunter


    continued. I almost smile as he looked down at Charlene, giving her a special smile. My queen was in


    love, and it made me happy. She deserved the best and it was clear Hunter treated her well. I returned


    my attention to the topic at hand when Theon spoke. He had been silent for the most part, indifferent to


    the hatred andments he received. ''So then only I will go. Yileyna. and a selected few others.’ "I will


    be going. I am not leaving her with you.'' Raiden added icily. ’Theon has done nothing but take care of


    her.'' Thea added defensively, although she had remained silent for the most part. 3 Their eyes met and


    she red at him. 2 "You know nothing of your brother’s crimes." Raiden said, his voice softer despite


    the firmness of his words. ’I know, because I know exactly how Theoden treated him. he hasn''t only


    made Theon hurt others, but himself. You know nothing about my brother, so at least trust the Alpha


    Queen''s verdict, if she trusts Theon-" ''Stop it. Thea.'' Theon said quietly. ”We all know that the Queen''s


    judgement may be a little... clouded." Ryan added.


    making my own eyes sh, until Gamma Grayson growled. 1 "Cut it out. Ryan! Look. Yileyna hase this


    far, and Theon being by her side is proof enough! We abide by the Alpha’smand." I exhaled, resisting the


    urge to pinch the bridge of my nose. Goddess, this was stressful! "I don’t want to be an Alpha whose


    Hunter can give me any advice, maps, directions, anything, I will be truly grateful. The rest will continue as you


    had nned. Gathering our allies is a must for the battle we will have to fight.'' I looked at Hunter, who nodded.


    "I will go with you. no one knows Naran better than I do." He looked at Charlene and I felt guilty seeing the


    worry on her face, but I needed his help too. Any help I could get_. f Charlene looked at me and smiled. I


    realised now I didn''t have the mind link with her any longer. Oh how short those moments were, we once used


    to joke how we''d talk day and night when we attained our mind links. Life truly was different from how we


    pictured it. ’Who else?" Gamma Grayson asked. ’The less the better." Hunter replied, frowning. ’Theon..’ Thea


    murmured, and I knew she wanted to go. "You will be safe here little one, don’t worry." Hunter said to her.


    giving her a small smile. "You can keep Charlenepany.’ II Thea looked at her. then at Theon and me, and I


    gave her aforting smile. "I trust her with my life." I told her. before looking over at Raiden. ''My Beta will


    make sure you are safe too.'' ’I don''t really want to stay here...” She trailed off frustrated, and Theon pulled her


    close. ’You will be safe. I can''t take you to Naran wherem uncertain of what will happen." He said quietly.

    She nodded in defeat, frowning slightly. "Theon_. For someone who saw Westerfell from the other side, what


    is the state of our people?’ Gamma Grayson asked him.. Theon frowned and I realised it was a question I had


    never asked him myself. Yes, I knew the warriors were all locked up. yet I saw many of our wolves carrying on


    as normal. ''The warriors who stayed true to the Silver Storm pack were in the cells, some who were vocal...


    were beaten or killed." "So then we have no men who will be inside those walls to side with us..." "No. There


    are warriors who were released, those who submitted and vowed their allegiance to Theoden. most were from


    the higher noble families." Theon said coldly, his eyes shing "The likes of Gale Howden and Niki Levin?"


    Ryan asked with a disgusted look. "Yeah, exactly like those..." His eyes shed, and I felt a re of anger


    radiating off him. "I''m certain we can bribe them to return to our side." Raiden added frowning. "I know many of


    the nobles who were ranked Zeta or Epsilon guards and warriors.’ "Maybe, but some were just scum and are


    no longer alive.'' ’What do you mean?" I asked. If they had swom allegiance to Theoden. then why? Everyone


    looked at Theon, waiting for an exnation, but he simply raised a brow, his eyes meeting mine. My heart


    pounded under the intensity of his gaze, but it was his words that surprised me. ’I wanted a few dead, so I


    killed them.*.
