My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames 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 black 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 lookover, noticing the change in my appearance, but not once did she not recogniseor 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 madepull 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 declared 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 lookedover. "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 tellshe 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 to command. 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 glanced 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 explained their dilemma, and although he had hidden his identity. I did not hold it against him. nor did I blhim. 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 welcome." I replied. "You aren't going alone." Theon added firmly. "If you are planning on going. I would argue against that. I don't trust you.' Ryan sneered coldly. His anger was justifiable. 'I will cwith you." Raiden said, his eyes flashing. "I’ll decide... Alpha Hunter, what can you tellabout 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 their lands 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 madehappy. 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 and comments 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 glared 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 flash, until Gamma Grayson growled. 1 "Cut it out. Ryan! Look. Yileyna has cthis

far, and Theon being by her side is proof enough! We abide by the Alpha’s command." 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

command is absolute, that is why we have a council, for advice.. Theon will accompany me. however if Alpha

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

had planned. 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 atand 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 Charlene company.’ II Thea looked at her. then at Theon and me, and I

gave her a comforting 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 where lam 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, swho 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 flashing "The likes of Gale Howden and Nikolai Levin?"

Ryan asked with a disgusted look. "Yeah, exactly like those..." His eyes flashed, and I felt a flare 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 swere 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 explanation, 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.*.
