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

My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames of His Vengeance chapter 146 56. About the Future YILEYNA. Three hours had passed, and we had just showered after a very sizzling few rounds of sex.

I had put sroast chicken and vegetables in the oven that would be done soon, and | was slipping ona black silk nightdress that reached mid-thigh I sat in front of the vanity mirror, opening Mom's jewellery box.

The few remaining items that | had managed to salvage were all here, along with the amulet thatbelonged to Theon’s mother.

I had been given it by one of the omegas who were doing a thorough clean of the castle and had found it in his oldroom, but | hadn't managed to find the right tto return it to Theon.

I know it belonged to the Obsidian Shadow pack and was a painful reminder of the wrongs that stained that pack,but it had also been his mothers.

I shut the jewellery box, clutching the necklace in my hand, as | walked out into the main room, The room was glowing with the warm lights of the lanterns, and two windows were open.

With summer approaching, the weather was far warmer than it was a month or so ago.

There he was...

my sexy god, in nothing but a pair of grey pants that hung low upon his hips, placing dishes onthe table.

I licked my lips, tempted to yank them down and ‘I can hear your thoughts, Little Storm.” He reminded mein his deep sexy voice, without even turning.

smiling in amusement | placed the amulet aside, and | walked over to him “Oh? Well, the idea was enticing." I replied, running my hands down his abs as | hugged him from behind.

“Obviously..." He gripped my wrist, turning and yankingagainst him roughly.

“But unless you wantto fuck you right now." "You had something you wanted to talk tabout, right?" | cut in, as he kissed my neck.” Behave.” "| did, and you started this." | smiled teasingly before pulling away.

| walked over to the oven and took the roast tray out, carrying it to thetable.

The delicious fragrance madelick my lips.

Oh, I was hungry! When we were at the palace, we always had big four-or five-course meals, but here in the cabin, I liked to cook myself.

I picked up the amulet, walked back to the table and took my seat.

We helped ourselves to the food before | gently placed the amulet next to Theon's plate.

‘I found this when the castle was being cleaned.” | explained gently.

He looked down at it, frowning slightly, before he placed his fork down and picked it up.

"It's your mother's.

I thought you may want to keep it." | asked, my gaze dipping to my wrists that still held bruises from our sex session, the memory making my core throb.

‘It also bears the crest of the Hale family, but she once toldthat when | found my mate or took achosen mate, she would give this to her daughter-in- law.” He said, frowning as he looked at the amber jewellery.

He placed it on the table and slid it back “It's yours, although the Hale crest no longer holds any significance and it's a n| want to bury.

This was hers and she wanted you to have it." A wave of emotions washed over me,and | looked at him.

“Theon, not everyone in the Hale family was evil...

When the tcomes, and we plan to have children, they will carry the Hale name, won't they?" His eyebrows shotup as he drank sjuice.

"Children?" "Well, not yet, but someday we will have children, correct?" "Not for a very long time." He replied pointedly, reaching over andbrushing my hair back.

"I want to play with you how | deem fit without having to worry about a pup in you." "Like | said, someday." | retorted.

"Yes, and they'll carry my name, Theon Alexander, not Hale." He said quietly, making my eyes snap up to his, and | smiled faintly.

"That's perfect." | replied, kissing his lips softly before sighing as | looked at the amulet.

"It's yours." It was a gift from Theon’s mother...

| took it slowly and nodded, feeling a storm of emotions within me.

"I will treasure it because of her." | promised, wishing that she was here, just like Mom, Dad, Gamma Grayson, and Theon'’s little sister.

Wouldn't life have been so great? He said nothing as we both sat back in our seats and carried on eating.

"What did you want to talk about?" | asked, eating schicken.

He frowned slightly as he ate slowly, as if thinking about how to phrase what he had wanted to say.

"It's regarding something | want to do...

| know you have forgiven me, and it'swho hasn’t been able to forgive myself, but there is something | wantedto do." "Something you want to do as punishment?" | asked sharply.

"Not exactly, but the tomb of the Dark One where Theoden had locked Thea and the otherswas something we didn't even know of.

With the kingdom recovering from everything, and all the changes you have instilled, | want to travel the kingdom and make sure there's no traceof any of the Dark Ones left, or of Dad's wrongdoings.

To make sure something like this never happens again." He explained quietly.

My heart was thudding as | realised what he was saying...

He was leaving "Theon-" "Hearout, Beautiful.

Please." His voice was slightly strained, and | realised this was something that had taken him a lot tospeak of.

It took my all as | watched him, | could tell he had given it a lot of thought.

"On this journey | will travel to all of the villages and cities, to assess how things areand make sure that everything is in order.

A visit from the Queen’s mate might even strengthen people's opinions and trust in US too.

I know it will takemonths...

but...

| need to do this for myself.” | looked at him, my eyes stinging with tears.

"You will leaveagain?" | whispered, knowing how selfish | sounded.

He stood up, shaking his head, then went down on one knee beside my chair.

"No.

| will never fucking leave you...

| just need to complete this journey so | can be at peace..." He whispered as he cupped my face, brushing away tears that | didn’teven know had fallen." I'll be back, it’s just a trip, and the end destination is you." "Then...

| can’t stop you." | whispered, flinging my arms around his neck and hugging him tightly My heart was pounding at just the thought ofhim leaving.

He moved closer, huggingtightly as he rockedgently.

No matter what my heart wanted...

Theon needed this, for himself.

"Thank you.” Chis quiet reply.

| closed my eyes, shielding the pain in my heart at the thought that he was going away.

But for him, I'd hide this pain...

HUNTER It was evening, | was with Charlene, Zoe and Ryan enjoying dinner at a grill house.

Both had accepted Charlene with all their hearts, much to my happiness.

Zoe, despite the loss of her husband, was doing better, doting over Charlene, and | knew it was a pleasant distraction for her.

Ryan had a job to do here, but there was something | wanted to ask Zoe today, if sheagreed, of course.

"Ah, this meat is delicious." Charlene gushed as she turned the strips of sizzling beef overon the grill in front of Us.

"Oi, you are eating too much." Ryan complained, swiping the next cooked piece.

Charlene pouted as Zoe swatted Ryan's hand.

"She's expecting, be nice to your sister." "Favouritism." Ryan complained.

| smirked while watching them.

My Luna had gained a little weight with her pregnancy, and | loved it.

She looked breathtaking, and | was glad she was keeping my pup fed.

| will always remember the tshe toldshe was pregnant.

| was so stunned but happy.

| would have a family by my side forever, one | would wake up to and sleep with every day.

"At this rate, you two will eat everything." | remarked, taking the cooked pieces off and sharing them out oneveryone's plates, as Charlene added more to the grill, licking her lips.

That tongue sure could do magical things...

Fuck don’t think of that.

“She's pregnant, she has an excuse, Ryan doesn't." Zoe said, smiling up at her son.

"Hmm, | work hard for the queen." He stated Or with a certain someone...

“That you do.” | agreed with a nod.

“As you know, Charlene and | must head hafter the Queen's coronation next week." Zoe's smile faltered as shenodded with understanding Charlene looked a little wistful, | knew leaving her sister and family would be something she'd feel.

“Yeah, once you go, more meat for me.” Ryan added, giving Charlene a pointed look.

They exchanged mock frowns, and I smirked.

“I was thinking you should cwith US, Zoe.

Ryan will be busy with work here, and until Charlene has the baby, perhaps you can keep her company?" | suggested as Charlene tookmy hand under the table, giving it a squeeze as she looked atin surprise.

our eyes met and | leaned over, kissing her forehead softly before turing to Zoe, who looked rather shocked.

"I Go to the Iron Claw Pack?" She looked at Ryan, who gazed down at her with a far softer expression "Why are youlooking at me? If you want to go, go.

I think it's a good idea.

You women seem to bond super great anyway." ‘I don’t want you to be alone here either.” She explained gently, looking at him with concern.

He frowned slightly and sighed, looking at his plate, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“As Hunter said, | am busy with work, and | won't be alone mom, | have Raiden and the others here.

You're the one who is halone for a lot of the day.

I think itll do you good and keep your mind off things.” He was a little unfiltered at times, but theboy had a good head on his shoulders.

Zoe nodded slowly before smiling.

“I think | will, | want to be there when my grandchild comes into this world." Shesaid, looking over at Charlene with happiness and sadness in her eyes.

For Grayson.

He would truly be proud of her.

1 Charlene reached over the table, taking her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze as they both exchanged a tender smile.

1 would love that too.” She whispered, as Ryan swiped the entire grill of meat sneakily.

This was going to be good for both women, Zoe had lost her mate and needed something to fill that void, and Charlenehad a father she had just found stripped from her.

"OH You took it all!" Charlene exclaimed, despite the smile of amusement on her face.

"He's a glutton!" Zoe added.

BU “You two always tag team against me.” Ryan grumbled.

I didn’t say anything, placing a fresh round on the grill as Zoe chuckled.

“You know, Grayson was a glutton too..." "Really?" Charlene asked with interest clear in her beautifuleyes.

Zoe nodded before she began telling her tale.

Charlene leaned forward with avid anticipation, still holding my hand.

Even Ryan was paying attention, although he was pretending not to.

“Yes, in fact, he ate so much he was banned from all-you-can-eat nights down at the tavern...

They were all going to be ok, because although we never get over someone's loss, we learn to carry on without them.

Death is but a part of life, one that we will always experience at spoint...
