Chapter 922. A Broken Promise
YILEYNA
Killed by a siren… I was unable to ignore the pang of pain that washed through me. No matter what he
had done, his mother and sister were not a part of it, and my heart broke for them.
So, this was why Theon held so much hatred towards the sirens. This war between our species had
gone on for far too long, how long would the two species carry on like this? What started this? Was there
a way to end it all?
I didn’t let my emotions show and instead I raised my eyebrow challengingly, trying not to be drowned by
his scent. “Well, I’m sure you will at least be pleased when I lose my head.” I replied icily, turning away
from him.
Deep down I was unable to shake off the fact he had warned me about his father and was telling me to
keep my heritage a secret from him… Was there a part of Theon that knew his father was wrong? Was
there anything in him that I could justify?
“I’m warning you. From tomorrow I will take you to train as Dad wishes, be on your best behaviour
Yileyna, because no one is here to play.” “No promises.” I muttered, wanting him to just leave. I could no
longer feel my abilities in here, almost as if whatever was in the air was sucking it away.
I heard him walk towards the door, when he paused.
“You could have tried to run when I took you to Dad… Why didn’t you?” He asked quietly.
I frowned, confusion hitting me at his question, and I turned to look at him.
I hadn’t even considered it. After all, how could I when there were so many of our people here? This
wasn’t just about me.
“I won’t abandon my people, I’m Alpha now, remember?” I replied coldly.
“You are no use as an Alpha if you don’t take the hard path and make sacrifices. Sometimes you have to
let those beneath you suffer the consequences of an action that would ultimately favour the rest…. Dad
assumed the same, he didn’t think you would risk running away when he has those you care for hidden
away. One wrong move and he will kill them, remember that…”
I frowned, hating how he was talking as if this was just a light conversation. “Oh and one more thing… It’s funny that not once did you ask about Charlene? How did you know she’s
not here?”
My heart skipped a beat, but I simply glared coldly at him.
“Because I made sure they were taken away.” I shot back.
“Yet they didn’t take you.”
“As I said, I’m the Alpha.” I replied, clenching my jaw.
That may have seemed like a distant statement at one point, but now the meaning of it was embedded
into me, weighing down on me with the sheer truth that I was indeed in charge of
The Silver Storm Pack and that it was my duty to protect them. To find a solution for all of this. “You’re
crazy.” He said before he opened the door and stepped out, leaving me alone. I sighed heavily, looking
around the empty place. It was stripped of everything, it had been cleaned up but there was no furnishing
left here… At least I wasn’t bound to one spot. If Theoden thought I would be this meek, obedient doll for
him to use, then he had another thing coming. But for now, I needed to think of a plan properly. This
didn’t just involve me but everyone… Was I enough? Was I doing the right thing? Will I manage to do
something?
Ok, breathe…
I took a deep breath, slumping down against the wall and staring at the ice-covered floors. A plan…
‘Raiden? Charlene? Ryan?’ I called through the link.
Nothing
So this room blocked my mind link.
Fine, I’ll think of a plan and then when I’m out of this room, I’ll contact them. If they were still close
enough to mind link… It was risky for them to be so close as well, but I did need to communicate, we
needed to think it over.
What do I do… What do I do…
Should I try to kill Theoden Hale? Was this endless cycle of killing for revenge and victory the right thing?
No, it wasn’t. I needed to get through to Theon… Something told me that I needed him on my side to
stop this cycle, for him to realise that his father may not be who he portrayed to be. 3 I rested my head against the wall, trying to think over everything that had happened. My heart squeezed
at Theon’s words on the balcony.
‘Please…’
Theon never said please. I wanted to say he cared somewhat, even if everything he had done was
unforgivable.
This wasn’t about me and him, that was long over, even if he was my mate.
I sat forward, crossing my legs as I tapped the icy floor with my nails, wondering why no one had de-iced
the castle, or at least some of the rooms.
I shook my head pushing the unnecessary thought away. Theon was behind everything that happened to
my parents… and I could never forgive him for it. However, I needed to follow my instincts and prove to
him that Theoden was a monster, otherwise this cycle of hatred would never end.
I had to put an end to this game of power over a title and throne, and I would do it the right way, even if it
was going to be extremely difficult. For that, I needed to try to get through to Theon, something that was
going to be almost impossible. As well as extremely painful for me, knowing that he was my mate who
had ruined
everything I never thought I’d ever find my mate, but the moon goddess had other plans…
I stood up, pacing the room as I pondered over everything I had learned, from what Andres said, to
Theoden’s version… Someone was in the wrong, or there was a misunderstanding.
One thing was clear – Theon was vital in this plan, he was the Alpha of the Obsidian Shadow Pack after
his father… I refused to believe that there was no part of Theon that didn’t care… In his own way he had
looked out for me, and I had no choice but to hold on to that, I needed to show him the truth of his
father’s wrongs but the most important question was; how do I do that?
I ran my hand through my hair, glancing around the room as if it would give me the answers.
Something told me if I wanted, I’d be able to break out of here as well. Didn’t Théoden say to Theon to
keep me full of wolfsbane and silver? Theon wasn’t careless, I just wished I knew what exactly was going
through his mind…
Do I pretend to be on his side? Or was it too late to do so? Or more importantly, would I be able topretend to when my heart had been crushed by him?
Goddess, what do I do?
THEON
Nothing went the way I had wanted it to… Nothing.
As I walked through the iced halls, ice that no mage or fae had been able to get rid of, I sighed inwardly.
Seeing her bound so roughly in the cells had angered me, but how do I tell her without making it obvious
that she needed to leave from here?
Things weren’t as I thought… Dad was hell-bent on his revenge, and it was justified, but seeing the way
Yileyna – who is innocent in all of this – was treated, didn’t sit right with me.
It fucking hurt and I wished I had managed to get her away, but there had been no way for me to do that.
Seeing Hunter in Westerfell had thrown me, although I had been raised in secrecy since our Pack was
already considered a rogue or criminal pack, there were still a few who knew who I was. Not even the
enchantment on me would blind those who knew who I truly was. 1
Hunter and I weren’t exactly on good terms… but he hadn’t said anything.
After I had knocked Yileyna unconscious and the party had come to an end due to the staged attack, I
had met up with him. His words still niggled at the back of my mind, and I know Dad wouldn’t approve,
but I needed to see him again. “Theon.”
Fuck, I didn’t hear him again. “Dad.” I said turning, indifferently.
“You seem far more distracted than you once used to be… tell me, has being under Andres’s command
lessened your sense of vigilance? Moments of distraction can cause you to lose your
head or heart.” He said, his hard eyes on me. “I was thinking about the ice.” I lied, not wanting him to
push me further.
He seemed to have bought it.
“Powerful magic.” He said knocking against the ice wall, even with his strength it didn’t crack or chip.
“Imagine shields or armour of such calibre…”
“Yeah.” I responded. “What is your plan from here? We have Westerfell, the city and the kingdom have
been notified that we have taken over. Now what?” “You seem in a rush. You know it’s not that easy, we need the other Packs to accept me as the King, and
for that, we need the heart.”
“Do we really need her? We are strong enough without her.”
“The marriage still needs to take place, you need to mark her, train her, and then we will reveal the
prophecy to the world. When people know that we have the prophesied one by our side, they will bow to
us.”
I wouldn’t mark her. Ever.
I nodded.
“I see, so you want me to train and mark her so we can use her…. efficiently?”
“Yes, exactly.”
“She’s the heart, I don’t think she’s made to be controlled.”
Our eyes met but I didn’t look away, I hated how he was observing me as if he was looking into my soul.
He looked away after a moment and nodded, once again examining the iced-over walls.
“You are right, we need her to obey. Arabella has already said her powers are far too strong to contain…
If she wanted to, she could break out of those quarters, but she seems naïve, otherwise I don’t think
she’d still be here.”
Maybe, but in this case, she’s too fucking concerned for others.
“Hmm, most likely.”
“But we can’t have her chained… it may just trigger her… We need to do this wisely, as long as you keep
her heavily dosed on silver and wolfsbane, she will be weakened to an extent. You seem to care for her
anyway. Perhaps you can use that to seduce her to our side?” He suggested so nonchalantly, as if we
were discussing the weather.
But I didn’t miss the subtle remark about caring for her. “I did as you said, however, the attack that took
place took away the chance for me to mark her … and then of course, everything went down.” I
reminded him emotionlessly. “Ah yes, that… attack…” He turned to me, running his fingers through his
beard. “It was a rather interesting one, wouldn’t you agree? I wonder what the assailant’s attempt was…
knocking the Alpha princess out instead of killing her.” I nodded, not giving away anything. I wasn’tstupid, I knew Dad wasn’t the type to buy just any story. I frowned, placing a slightly thoughtful
expression on my face.
“Hunter was there.” I said, making Dad freeze.
His heart skipped a beat and he turned to me sharply.
Perfect.
“Hunter…” His eyes blazed and he punched the wall, yet despite the cracking sound of his knuckles, the
ice didn’t move or break. 1
“I’m not certain if it was him, but it could have been, he knows of the prophecy after all.” “That bastard…”
Dad thundered with rage. “He has done nothing but thwart my plans!” “He’s never liked Andres either, I
think he’s neutral.” I reminded him. “No, but it does not mean he isn’t a bastard! No matter what I
attempt, he doesn’t fucking die.
Attempt? My head snapped towards him, my eyes flashing with surprise. “Have you tried to get rid of
him?” I asked sharply. “Of course, he knows far too much.” He spat. It took my all to contain the emotions
that wreaked havoc inside of me. Gold eyes met orange and I was unable to stop the burning anger that
accompanied the
statement that left my lips. “You promised Mom you would never touch him.”
