YILEYNA
The rain continued to beat down upon us, washing away most of the mud that had splashed in my face.
He reached up, brushing my dirty hair back from my face. My eyes fluttered shut under his touch, a touch that I welcomed…
A wave of relief washed over me. Theon was many things; mocking, aloof, cold, and arrogant, but he was not a monster.
“It seems you can’t stay out of trouble for even a moment.” He murmured quietly before his eyes sharply snapped to the two men who stood a mere few feet away.
“You should leave. Don’t interfere where it’s not your business.” Nikolai’s cocky voice came from behind.
The gold flash in Theon’s eyes made my heart skip a beat. Even if the rest of his face remained emotionless, the anger I saw in those eyes… for me. My stomach fluttered before Theon moved me behind him.
“As warriors of the pack, it’s a nice example to set.”
“This has nothing to do with you. Leave. You saw nothing.” Kyson added coldly.
I stared at the back of Theon’s head as I crossed my arms over my breasts, hugging myself.
“I saw enough to take this back to the Alpha.” Theon stepped forward and both men tensed.
I frowned as realisation hit me. They weren’t scared of Theon, but that he may be the future Beta… It just showed that rank made you everything or nothing…
The two exchanged looks, mind-linking before they glared at me coldly. The silent promise that this was not over was clear in their eyes. Both men walked past us, only for Theon to grab Nikolai by the collar and punch him across the jaw.
“What the actual fuck?!” Nikolai hissed, clutching his face as he stumbled back.
“Touch her again, and I’ll kill you,” Theon snarled, his voice dangerous and cold.
Both men walked off, but Theon turned towards me. I suddenly felt very bare, despite having paraded in front of him only yesterday... Today was different. The sheer weight of what could have happened to me suddenly made me feel dirty and used. I turned my back on him, not wanting him to see the vulnerable state I was in.
The fear that rattled me, my entire body, was beyond the point of exhaustion. I gasped when I felt his fingers brush my upper back. I bit my lip when he tugs a lint of wool from me.
The silence between us was loud, but I had nothing to say today. My heart thudded when I felt the warmth of his jacket being placed around my shoulders, his scent invading my senses. I closed my eyes. Despite the intensity of the comfort, it brought me, the sheer reality that I was now a no one… pretty much alone in this world, hit me hard.
My parents were dead… I couldn’t uphold the De’Lacor name, and I had no one…
You have Charlene and Theon… I tried to tell myself, but did I?
“Let’s get out of here.” His voice came, and I nodded, clutching the jacket tightly as he turned away.
To my surprise, he took hold of my wrist, glancing at my bruised hands, a frown creasing his brow as he led me away. I looked at his large hand wrapped around the sleeve of his leather jacket, my heart skipping a beat.
He had saved me…
‘Theon may become Beta…’
I glanced up at him sharply, wondering how true that was. Did he know? However, I was pulled from my musings when his grip on my wrist tightens until it was almost painful.
“What were you bloody thinking?” He snarled, startling me with the anger in his voice. I blink, the rain coming down harder as he yanks me after him.
“Pardon?” I asked, confused by his words. His entire demeanour had just changed in a blink of an eye.
“Have you learned nothing since the attack? You should know better than to wander off on your own. Especially after rumours are going around the kingdom!” He snarls venomously and I take a step back from him, startled and hurt. “How many times will you mess up?!”
Was he blaming me for what happened? Does he also blame me for their deaths? Like I asked for that to happen?
His words hurt despite his normally cold, arrogant attitude. I didn’t expect this from him, of all people. “You’re lucky I stumbled upon you.” He hisses, and I jerked my hand from his impossible grasp. The movement does not go unnoticed by him, making him spin around and glare at me. My back hits a tree as I take another step back, making me hiss in pain, my back already stinging from the assault.
His eyes blazed with fury. “Answer me!” He growled, slamming his hands onto the trunk at either side of my face, his chest pressed against mine. His face was so close that for a second I am simply stunned, losing my ability to speak. He was too close…
“Theon?” I managed to murmur and his eyes snap to mine and I swallow as his piercing amber eyes burn into me.
“You’re lucky I didn’t just keep walking.” He whispers harshly, making my stomach sink at his words, blinking back tears that thankfully were covered by the rain. His words anger me too. How dare he say that? Nothing I did warranted what they tried to do. I just wanted to go to train.
“Then why fucking didn’t you?” I hiss, the terrifying growl that left him made me want to take the words back and when he pressed his entire body against mine, pain slivers up my back as he pressed closer. I could feel every ridge of his body and my stomach knots.
“I bet you would have liked that, huh? So you can play the victim. Is that what you wanted and were simply playing hard to get?” He growled. “Is that what it was? Tell me Little Storm, do you like it rough?” His hand grabbed my throat and I struggled against him, trying to free myself.
“Theon! Stop!” I rasped out.
Theon leaned closer, his nose trailing across my cheek to my ear. “I can smell them all over you...” He growled dangerously, the sound sending a cold shiver up my spine and goosebumps spread across my arms.
“Theon, please. Why are you acting like this?” I whispered, my heart pounding as I stared up into those burning gold eyes. His hand tantalisingly ran down my throat to my breast and he squeezed harshly, making me whimper, and sending a jolt of pleasure straight to my core.
“You risked your life because of your stupidity. You let them put their filthy hands all over you. You’re weak,” He snarled. “No one is to touch you…the only hands allowed to touch you are mine.”
Thank you for reading, please do vote by leaving me a pretty sparkly gem! and maybe a review if you like the starting so far ^.^
I freeze, my heart thundering at his words. Was he jealous because they touched me, that they tried to rape me? For a moment, I’m unable to put two words together, unable to focus on what he had just said. “Get off me. I can’t believe you’re jealous.” I muttered, shoving him as hard as I could. He didn’t budge, just tilted his head to look at my hands on his chest, making me yank them back quickly. I clutch his jacket tighter, knowing it is the only thing that offered me cover from his burning gaze. “Jealous of you?” He sneers and tears prick my eyes. “Don’t be stupid. If I wanted you, you and I both know I wouldn’t have to force you. You would drop to your knees fucking willingly.” He taunted coldly. I swallowed, my cheeks burning with embarrassment and hurt at his words, and I glanced away only for him to grab my face and force it back towards him. “I’m angry because you put yourself at unnecessary risk. Just like the damn night you and Charlene snuck out and your parents were ki
YILEYNA I quickly turned away, my cheeks burning as I gulped the rest of the coffee down. I felt him move away, so I quickly placed my mug down and stood up, trying not to groan at the ache in my muscles. I slid my arms out of the shirt, holding it firmly as I twisted it around, sliding my arms back in and buttoned it up. I turned back towards him, his arms now spread over the top of the couch as he glared into the fire, his brows creased in concentration. “Thanks for saving me.” I remarked gratefully, tugging at the sleeves of the shirt and stared down at the ground. I surely must look a sight in these oversize pants and shirt. Now, what do I do? I sat down on the small couch and pulled my knees up against my chest, feeling exhausted. “You may not have been at their level, but you shouldn’t push yourself to that extent where you cannot even defend yourself, especially somewhere secluded.” “Hmm, I didn’t think that would happen, I just thought to train… I'm lacking in far more t
YILEYNA His words stung. Was he saying that although Mom and Dad said I was theirs, there had been rumours… Meaning there was something there… I looked into the Alpha’s hard emotionless eyes, feeling very alone. Sure, he was our Alpha, his job was to take care of his pack, his city… and as King, his responsibilities were far more than that but if even for a second I thought I’d get any compassion from him, I was wrong. “I understand, Alpha, and that brings me to my second question; is it true that another will take my place as future Beta?” He leaned back on one hand, eating his sliced apple as he looked up at the sky. “I need a Beta now, soon. I can’t wait for a wolf less pup to shift to take that position. I'm afraid, yes, I will be choosing another.” His eyes fell on me once more and I did my best to remain emotionless despite the pain in my chest. I bowed my head trying to force a polite smile. “I understand Alpha, will I be given at least some time to prove-” “To prove wha
YILEYNA The following morning dawned clear yet cold. The sun was shining, deceptive of the temperature outside. Great, the weather was getting worse as winter approached. I had just bathed and was towelling my hair dry as I stood in front of the full-length mirror in my room. I paused, tilting my head as I observed my body. An hourglass body, with larger breasts than average. With the light of the sun shining through the window, the water that clung to my body almost look like little crystals clinging to me. Creamy smooth skin that Charlene always said looked breathtakingly flawless. Curvy hips that irked me as they indeed reminded me of the Omegas. And thighs far thicker than the lean ones I was used to seeing on most werewolf women. I sighed, turning away from my reflection and tossing my towel aside. Today was the day Charlene was going to begin her training, perhaps I could also pick up on some of the stuff that Theon would teach her. I grabbed some black leather pants, sque
YILEYNA "She wins, right?" Charlene’s tired yet happy voice came, snapping us both out of our trance. "We’re taking a break." Theon’s cold reply came, turning away swiftly as he walked off down towards the water. My heart was thumping as the moment played out. "O M Geeeeee!" Charlene hissed, grabbing my arm, her eyes wide as she stared at me. I blinked, trying to focus on what was happening. "What?" I whispered. "You two had a moment." She hissed, her eyes alight with excitement. My cheeks burned and I rolled my eyes. "We didn’t, I bit his ear." I pouted. "Umm Leyna… Do you think you could have gotten that close without him noticing? He was far too distracted by you and that growl… it sounded more possessive and one of approval than an angry one. Ok, she had officially lost her mind. I rolled my eyes again, shaking my head. "Stop rolling your eyes before they vanish into the back of your head!" She hissed. Yeah, then I’ll be wolf less and eye less… I shook my head trying
YILEYNA The moment we returned to the palace Theon had told one of the other royal guards to escort Charlene to the healers for a check over. “Don’t I need to go…” A withering glare made me go quiet. I needed a healer too… “She needs to be checked ov-” “Take care of yourself first, princess.” Theon’s icy reply came, cutting Charlene off. I exchanged looks with Charlene but neither of us spoke knowing that if he told the king what happened… we were entirely screwed. All the way back Charlene had kept on saying it was her fault and she was ready to take the responsibility, but Theon had ignored her. I knew she was trying to drill it into him that I had nothing to do with it. But I did… I should have been more responsible. “I can walk.” I declared as we headed towards my quarters. He came to a sudden stop, not even looking at me and dropped me, making me gasp as I landed hard on my ass on the floor. Pain jolted up my side making my eyes sting with tears. Goddess… “Walk then.”
YILEYNA I gasped, my cheeks flushing. “I am not!” But before I could push him away, his thumb flicked one of my hardened nipples sending a sharp sizzle of pleasure to my core. “Your mouth can lie, but your body cannot.” He smirked slightly, now looking into my eyes. “Tell me, Yileyna… Do you taunt me on purpose just so I pay attention to you?” “Don’t get so full of yourself. If I wanted you, I’d say so.” I lied, turning my back on him. Was I that obvious? My heart and stomach were a mess of nerves. I heard a small breathy chuckle leave his lips, his arm snaking around me, placing his hand firmly on my lower stomach as he pulled me back against him, making a small whimpering gasp escape me. I could feel his entire body against me, feel the bulge in his pants press against my lower back only adding to the ache in my core… The way his chest felt, rising and falling behind me… “Then tread carefully… because in the end, don’t forget I am a beast, worse than any other.” I closed my
YILEYNA The Night of The Moon Goddess’ Festival arrived and, like every year, the skies were clear, the full moon gracing us with its presence, and the sheer ambience of the night was warm and welcoming. The merry music drifted in through the open windows, making you want to get up and join. I was getting ready with Charlene. She had been adamant that I spend the afternoon getting ready with her, although this was usually a time one spent with their families, and every year before this one, she and her mother got ready together just as I did with mine. "Those curlers look ready to be removed." Charlene said to the human woman who was helping us. "Yes, princess." Belinda replied, bowing her head before she came over to me and began to remove the curlers from my hair. I stared in the mirror at my face. My make-up was done, having been told my skin was perfect without a base. She said she’d do subtle touch-ups… but I looked entirely different… I looked older, more mature… My cheeks w
