17. A Planned Journey
THEON
I caught her before she collapsed, looking into her beautiful face, as flawless as ever even when in pain. The urge to brush back her blonde locks was strong, but I simply lifted her into my arins as Nikolai stepped forward.
“As Beta, you should handle the evidence, i’ll take her.” He said with that face of his, you want to punch him every time you see it.
“As an Epsilon ranked guard, you should learn when to keep your mouth shut before I have to do it for you.” I looked him square in the eye. ‘After what you attempted… you should be worried about your position, because when I become Beta, you are a goner.’
His eyes flashed as I spoke the latter through the link.
‘My family is far too powerful for me to be stripped of my rank for something you have no proof of. Besides, she is the daughter of traitors. Her only value is to be treated like the whore she is.’
My eyes flashed. That blistering anger that always swam beneath the surface was threatening to rise and kill the man before me.
She isn’t a whore, call her that once more and I assure you I will cut your dick off, inch by fucking inch. So don’t try me.’ I hissed.
‘Or does the Beta want her for himself?’
I paused but didn’t turn back to him, knowing that I would only end up killing him. I left the apartment, that foreign feeling consuming me once more. The timing for them to find evidence wasn’t what I was expecting but I didn’t really care, I had far more on my mind right now…
I looked at her inner thighs, her tiny gown barely covering anything, seeing the blood smeared between them.
She shouldn’t still be bleeding… I know I had been rough… but she should heal, she’s a werewolf even if she hasn’t shifted.
I hated how I was still drawn to her. One night hadn’t been enough. I didn’t even sleep last night because all I could think about was her… The way she felt wrapped around me, the feel of her boobs against my chest, the sinful pleasure that actually felt fulfilling but still left me craving for more and maybe… just maybe, her presence… As long as she kept her mouth shut.
I entered the hospital wing of the castle and spotted Ulric looking through some files.
“I need a female doctor to look her over.” I commanded emotionlessly.
“Right away, Master Theon. Take her through to room three.” He replied before hurrying off to find a female healer. There were werewolves working here, and some who were basically the communication link between the healers and pack members. I walked past him, until I reached the room. I pulled back the bedsheet and placed her down, about to move back when I realised her hair was caught in the chain hooks of one of my necklaces. I stared down at her as I slowly
utangled it from my necklace, letting the straws of hair fall by her side
Her plump kissable lips were slightly parted, slightly moist Harchont wall rising and falling steadily, her clevage on show After seeing the last night all I wanted was to them again Til forced my gaze bank to those tempting lips, and I bent down about ta ketas her, when!
heard footsteps and moved back swiftly.
“Beta Theon.” The woman bowed her head, before walking around to the other side of the bed.
Beta… a title that was far below me I couldn’t wait for the day I didn’t have to keep this pathetic façade up.

“She’s bleeding.” I said, motioning with my eyes towards her legs.
Her eyes widened with understanding before she gave me a brisk nod.
“Ah! Did something happen? Was she in a fight? How did she become unconscious?” She asked, about to move the sheet when she hesitated. “Umm will you turn away, sir?”
Like I haven’t seen her naked. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and crossing my arms, turned my back on them.
“Not entirely, she had sex for the first time last night… yet this morning she seemed to be bleeding again. That’s not normal, is it? Plus she may be a little stressed.”
I didn’t need to be looking at the woman to know she was blushing profusely.
“Ah! I see it… it can happen, and she hasn’t shifted, her healing is slower… Um, maybe there was some internal bruising… Especially if the, umm, intercourse was rough…”
Obviously, it was rough. I didn’t know the girl who enjoyed peeping on people having sex was a virgin.
“I will heal her, but I will need to ask her some questions when she wakes up. Why is she unconscious?”
I turned back, only to see her with her hands on Yileyna’s stomach, a pale green glow around her hands.
“You can ask her. Inform me when she awakes and leaves.” I replied coldly and walked out.
Why were women so stupid? 2
Now to go tolerate and try to teach another stupid one. I made my way through the halls and stopped outside the princess’ room. Last night I saw her try to argue with her father when I was announced as Beta. Her love for her friend was pretty strong. It’s a shame they didn’t really have as much time together as they thought… 2
She stepped out of her room, her usual smile missing.
“Good morning, Theon.” She said quietly.
The so-called treasure. There was nothing special about her, from the day she shifted until now I didn’t sense any strong aura from her. She was as ordinary as any she-wolf.
I led the way to the training ground, debating on whether I should talk to the Andres.
‘Alpha Andres, as you know, certain incriminating evidence may have been found at the previous Beta’s house… What do you intend to do with Yileyna?’ I asked through the link.
She is innocent, regardless of what her parents have done. I don’t know yet, I will have a think … I trusted Will… I need to see if there’s anything that can put him under suspicion first. I will not believe this until I have the proof before me. Zeridaan is on his way.’
“Of course, he was your closest confidant. However, I would advise that you make it clear that no one is to bother her.’ I replied, keeping my voice indifferent.
He was silent for a moment. ‘Come to my office after Charlene’s training.’ I knew what he wanted to talk about, why I was so concerned about Yileyna. I wish I knew the answer to that too. She was just a pawn in this game. I guess it was only fair that I showed her some compassion…
I stopped when we reached the training court and I turned to Charlene. “As future Alpha of this pack, you really are lacking. Warm-up and then get in position.” She nodded and I turned my back on her, frowning. I glanced at the clear sky. The sun was beginning to rise, and I knew many will still be asleep after last night’s festival.
Another peaceful day in the City of Westerwell…
The tides were changing and the people didn’t even realise…
Everything will unfold as it should… As planned.

I stood opposite the Andres in his office as he sat back in his seat staring at me with a thoughtful expression on his face.
“You wanted to see me, Alpha.”
“I did. Theon, you have potential for a lot more. I must have done something right for the goddess to have you come to my pack, with no one coming to find you for the last two years. It means you were meant to be here.”
If only you knew.
“If it’s alright, may I ask what the relationship between you and Yileyna is?”
Not that it’s your business.
“Why does the Alpha ask?”
He grinned, running his hand through his straggly hair.
“Like I said, you have potential… Last night I had hoped that you and Charlene would be mated, it was a low probability, but I did wish you two were true mates. However, obviously, that isn’t the case. You could, however, perhaps consider a future by taking Charlene as a chosen mate. This kingdom needs her to have a strong man by her side. You have potential, I can see it. Don’t waste it.” 2
I won’t be wasting anything. “I appreciate the king considering me so highly, but I’m not really thinking of settling down yet. There’s a lot I need and want to do, and with the threat rising from the sea as well as the
Obsidian Shadow Pack, I need to stay focused without any distractions
He nodded in understanding
