YILEYNAMy head was screaming with agony when I woke up. I looked around, realising I was in the cabin, on the floor in the kitchen area. A few bottles of wine lay scattered on the floor, and my entire body was aching.What happened last night? I remembered crying but then I had gone to the spot Theon had told me to wait for him. I just… I had needed to see what he’d say, if anything.I waited until twelve, for two hours I waited in the cold, promising myself that if he didn’t come today, I would truly never forgive him, and he didn’t.He hadn't come.I was a fool to think he would.But wasn’t that exactly what I was? I was always foolish when it came to Theon.I pressed a hand to my forehead, feeling broken.I was an idiot… I really was…I got to my feet, running my fingers through my hair. What time was it anyway?The pain of last night was still there, but the throbbing in my head was overpowering it and I welcomed it.It was then that my heart began pounding when I realised the en

YILEYNA I had managed to secure myself a small room and bathroom at the new inn, which was called The White Mist. The inn owner had simply given me a once over before telling me he expected me to pay the rent on every full moon. He warned me that if I was even a day late, he would boot me, and so I had paid for six months in advance, which appeased him greatly. The room was nice and clean, with simple furnishing and an adjoining bathroom. It was warm too. I had gotten all my things brought over for me. I had placed the keys to the cabin with a small note into an envelope and I had left it on the table at the cabin. That moment had felt like a resolution. When I had left my childhood home, I had promised to be strong, yet I had fallen so deeply into things with Theon that I once again let my heart be broken. Losing sight of what I wanted. It still hurt, every night he lingered on my mind; his gaze, his touch, the comfort and emotions he awakened within me, but I refused to let it o

YILEYNA The day of the ball had finally arrived, and my nerves were running wild. The plan wasn’t the best… But it was all we really had, and we were going to risk it. Raiden had needed some persuasion; he didn’t think me putting myself at risk was worth anything; however in the end, I had managed to convince him. Then there was Charlene, who had been an entirely different story, saying she didn’t want to pretend to blame me and how her father wouldn’t be happy with me either. She didn’t want me hurt, but I had managed to get her on-board. The chances of Theon actually playing up weren’t even solid anyway, plus I was sure the king would be angry at him although Charlene didn’t agree with this. We were just going to try and see what happens. I was a little worried for Raiden though, not wanting him to get in trouble and although Zarian had offered to accompany me, Raiden had said he was the safer option as he was the son of one of the gammas. I had ended up telling Raiden about m

THEON From the moment I had laid eyes on her, I was unable to focus on anything but the temptation and beauty of the goddess-like woman before me. Her dress clung to her every curve, made to fit her to perfection. Nothing was left to the imagination, from the perfect ass that I wanted to grab and pull against me, to her breasts that were spilling out of her dress. Everything was on display in the sexiest, most enticing way. I hadn't been the only one with my eyes on her, every unmated man, and many who were mated, were watching her with a look of pure lust in their eyes. The urge to rip them all apart was appealing, and seeing none other than Bolton holding her… It had taken every ounce of willpower to control myself. Even holding back the hatred I felt for Andres didn’t compare to the amount of control I was fighting against to not murder anyone who set their gaze upon her. She was mine and mine alone. When she had turned towards me, it felt as if time had stopped. She had looked

YILEYNA Theon moved away smoothly, yet I didn’t miss how swiftly he had backed away from me. I almost smiled bitterly. That was all I was to him, something to play with when night falls and darkness blankets the city… something to hide and use when he pleased. A plaything to enjoy and toss aside when he was done so the world never knew. That is why I was done with him. All he did was come and go as he pleased, but I couldn’t deal with it anymore. How many chances did one person deserve? My gaze snapped to the ice on the ground, it glittered under the moonlight that seeped through one of the tiny gaps in the walls. It was obvious it was spreading from beneath my feet… Goddess… How was I going to explain this? I turned my attention to the king, who now stepped into the cells, his hands clasped behind his back. Without his crown, he had lost his regal look, but he now looked even more menacing and dangerous. His glowing eyes were on me as if he was trying to look into my soul. I h
