My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance

Chapter 74

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 cthrough 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!”

Like always, she was dressed perfectly, upholding the image of the perfect queen and luna.

She had known I had been unfaithful, but never asked who or where… Yet knowing that she may have been unfaithful to me… it opened an entire new perspective. If it is deemed to be true, what should I do? Rejecting her would destroy us both… And punishment would only affectsince she was my true mate… 2 “A lot is going on.” I said as she kissed me. The familiar sparks rushed through us both.

“What is it?” She asked, her green eyes filled with concern at my expression. “Is it Theon? Can he not get over Yileyna? Maybe you need to have her taken care of! She is a traitor who we do not need anywhere around us!”

She turned away in frustration, and I rubbed my jaw. “Yileyna isn’t going anywhere.” “Meaning?” She asked, looking over her shoulder at me. “Are you planning on leaving her in prison? With Theon here, I wouldn’t advise-”

I simply nodded, waving my hand.

“I’m going to ask you something Soleil, and I want the truth.” I cut in quietly. As my mate, she may be able to defy my command, but I prayed that in good faith she toldthe truth that I was becoming more and more certain of. “Of course, anything Andres, you are worrying me.” “Is Charlene really mine?” I asked clearly, my alpha command rolled through my words that

shook with power. I had put my all into it, now I could only hope for her to yield to the command and tell me the truth.

Her face paled, her heart thundering and in that moment, I realised I did not need to use my alpha command upon her. Her reaction alone had already giventhe only answer I needed.

I felt… cold and empty. I don’t even know if there was anything forto even feel angry about. We had both cheated on one another and had children with another. I have no idea what the moon goddess was thinking when she paired us… It was obvious we were not a good match. She never gave me happiness, and I, her.

“Andres… she-”

“I have gotten my answer. Were you planning on hiding it forever?!” 1 thundered, my anger suddenly returning with vengeance.

“You raised her as your own Andres, forgive me! ….. We were so desperately trying for a pup b but it wasn’t happening! You should be grateful to me! It wasn’tthat was the issue! I am able to carry pups, there was something wrong with you-” 1

“So I’m to blame?! Cheating was not the answer!” I roared.

She flinched, backing away. I looked around, ripping the huge artwork from the wall. It hit the floor, the wooden frsplintering.

“Andres, she-she’ll hear!” She whispered.

“Who is the father?” I asked coldly, tearing the tapestries from the wall.

My anger was raging within me, and all rationing was gone. My eyes blazed as I broke the cabthat stood to the left.

“Answer me, Soleil!” She was trying to defy it, her face paling as she clamped her hand over her mouth, refusing to speak. I strode over to her, pulling her hand from her mouth roughly.” Who is her father, Soleil!”

She broke into sobs. “It’s it…. it… ah..”

She was fighting it.

“Who is he?!” I roared, and before my eyes, she finally succumbed to the Alpha command, falling to her knees. “G-Grayson is Charlene’s father!” She screamed, anguished. 3

My mind stilled.

Grayson.

My chest heaved, my heart thumping faster than it should.

My own Gamma… 3

Was it karma that all those I considered my comrades were betrayingone by one? Was this the price I was paying for my sins?

I ran my hand through my beard, glaring at the woman before me.

“How long was it going on for?” I asked. “You were always busy.., always out…It was not long,” she robbed, Ah… back then when his mate and son were gone to visit her homelands… + The timing made sense… “Does he know Charlene is his?” I asked murderously, She shook her head, sobbing.

“No! I told no one!”

“And how and when did you notice she was not mine?” I spat resentfully.

“I swear”

“THE TRUTH SOLEIL!” I roared.

“I was desperate! I needed to bear you a child, so you didn’t entertain other women! I did it for you! To keep you!” She screamed in desperation. “And so, you decided to beca whore and sleep with another man!” I growled, upturning the sofa that she was clinging to.

She yelped, backing away with fear in her eyes as it smashed against the far wall. My canines were out now, my anger barely controllable. “I will only ask once more! When did you realise, she was not mine?!”

“She-she lacked an Alpha aura… When I becpregnant the first two times, I felt the power within my womb of an Alpha pup… but… I feared… But she may be yours! We can’t be sure that

she isn’t!” She begged, crawling over to me.

I shook my head.

We both knew she wasn’t.

“No. Charlene isn’t my daughter. I was told a certain fact, which I hid in fear that one of our pups that died before they saw this world was the heart. But the prophecy said it would be my first-born female child. Charlene is not mine because my daughter is younger than her, and she already holds far more power than your daughter!” I hissed. “Y-your daughter?” Soleil was confused and fearful.

“Yes, my real daughter. I have found her, Soleil.”

I heard a soft whimper from behindand I froze.

She was not meant to hear that…

I turned to see the child I had considered my own standing there, her eyes full of pain and shock as she stared atand Soleil in complete horror. This was not the way I planned to break the news to her…

“Charlene.” I said, withdrawing my canines and claws. 3 “Charlene!” Soleil scrambled to her feet, but the girl simply shook her head as she backed away, her heart beating violently before she ran into her bedroom, shutting the door with a resounding bang.

I clenched my jaw, about to unleash hell upon the woman before me, but first, there was one other who deserved to be punished.

‘Henry, I know you are busy with your son, but I need you to have Gamma Grayson Sanchez apprehended immediately for treason.’

Alpha.., that… we have a serious situation at the hospital to handle first.’

“What is it?’ I growled.

What was more important was that he wasn’t even stunned that I was asking for my Gamma to be thrown into prison?

‘It’s Yileyna De’Lacor.’ My eyes snapped to the window, realising it was a lot darker.

Selene…

The sky was dark, and all I could see was the menacing storm that was brewing. Over my own anger and shouting, I hadn’t even noticed it.

Something had triggered Yileyna into losing control.
