31. His Intentions

THEON.

It was amusing how uneasy they were around me, but I didn't plan to explain why I killed all those who had

hurt her. The guards who had beaten her from the Obsidian Shadow Pack were still on my list, and when the

time was right, I planned to kill them too.

She wanted an explanation, but I didn't bother giving her it.

Night had fallen, and we were all set for camp. I knew Hunter wanted to speak to me, but I wasn't so sure I

was ready...

Not to mention, I was rather surprised he had chosen Charlene as his mate and Luna. Well, whatever works

for him.

I had just bathed in the river and was now re-bandaging my chest, when I heard him approach. I grabbed my

top, yanking it on just as he stepped out from the trees.

"When will you officially introduce us?" He asked.

I knew who he meant, and I raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care? It's not like you have ever known her." I

replied.

"She's still my sister, Theon, and from what I deduced, she knows who I am." "Yeah, I may have mentioned it

because I wanted her to stay at your pack. I need her safe.""I understand, and that can be arranged." He replied, crossing his arms. "So, does your woman know who I

am?"

"I don't appreciate the dig, we both know I betrayed her."

He nodded, smirking arrogantly. "My mistake, I only determined that assumption due to the fact you two

seem to still have an obvious connection." I refused to reply, wanting the conversation over with.

"Last time you said you had learned things, questionable things about Theoden. Is there more than

what was mentioned out there?" I asked.

"I'm afraid there is, even more than what I knew at the engagement, where you actually seemed

happy."

I clenched my jaw, my eyes flashing as I turned to look at him directly. "Don't push me, Hunter. Don't

you think I've caused enough damage already? I'm here because I will see this through, and I will be

the one to kill him." His smile faded and he frowned, stepping forward.

"Theon... You were fed lies and raised by a tyrant. You are only twenty-four, you have your life before

you. What are you planning?" His eyes were sharp as he looked at me intently, and it was a struggle to

hold his gaze. Our auras clashing. To my surprise, he placed his hand on my head and shook his head.

"Foolish boy." I knocked his hand away and glared at him.

"You aren't that much older than me." I growled. "Stop treating me like a kid." "I'm still older, whether

that be by two years or ten. Theon, everyone deserves forgiveness, and for the Queen to trust you is

the first sign that you deserve it. You are on the path to redemption, it won't be easy, but you will get

there." "No. I'm not on that path to redemption, for my crimes are beyond the point of redemption... but

I am walking my path... the one I need to." I replied quietly, turning and looking at the flowing river. "And

what path is that?" He asked quietly. "Retribution. All who have lied, committed sin and who have hurt

her. I will be the one to deal out their punishment.""You do not need to take that burden upon yourself, Theon. Leave judgement to the gods." "I am only

doing the gods a favour." I replied. "Besides.... I want to see them all burn..."

"You love her." 2

His words made my heart race, and it took me a second to steady it, but he had already heard it. My

unspoken answer.

"There's nothing wrong with loving Theon... Win her over, earn her forgiveness, bow down to her if

need be and tell her you are ready to be the man she needs." 4 "I don't need advice from you on love.

I've broken her far too many times to make promises that I may not be able to keep. I don't have time to

waste and I'm sure neither do you, you have a mate to return to, do you not? Tell me what you know."

"I'm afraid she has abandoned me for the night to spend time with her sister." "Shame you can't even

keep a woman, and they are not sisters." He looked at me sharply, all humour gone. "Blood alone does

not make one family, Theon. Their bond is one of the strongest I have ever seen. In my eyes they are

sisters, you think whatever you want, although I'm assuming you are simply jealous of my Luna for

having a special place in Yileyna's heart." I frowned, was it just me or was he refusing to tell me what

he knew? "What do you know, Hunter?" I growled murderously. He looked at me and frowned before

exhaling sharply.

"It's about our mother." He said quietly, his voice tense. The sound of footsteps made him stop, and we

both turned as Thea stepped out from the trees. Looking between us, she hesitated.

"Am I intruding?" 1

"Not at all." Hunter reassured her, giving her a smile.

She nodded, looking between us, and I knew she wouldn't leave until she had officially spoken to

Hunter. Why did I need to introduce her? They both knew who the other was... 1 "I think Thea wants to

have a word with you." I said frowning, I felt on edge.What did Hunter know?

'That would be an honour. It's nice to meet you, Thea." He said holding his hand out to her, she looked

at me before she approached him warily.

She was still edgy around men... I was a fool to think she'd be fine... This was all his fault, and he

would pay... She slowly accepted his offered hand, and he gave her a small smile, raising her hand to

his lips and kissing it before enclosing her hand in both of his. "I still remember the day our mother told

me you were born, I was happy to have a little sister too." He said quietly. "Tell me, do you still have

your addiction to seedless grapes?" I looked at him sharply and realised I had forgotten... Thea loved

grapes, to the point she would eat any that were at home... I had forgotten but he hadn’t...

She looked surprised too before she let out a chuckle.

"So, she told you that?" "Yes, as well as how you threatened to kill Theon for stealing the last grapes

with a-”

"Spoon!" Thea let out a weak laugh as Hunter hugged her, giving her a squeeze. "Yes, exactly so. You

were always the most entertaining to hear about." A silence fell and I knew we were all thinking about

Thalia.

"I hope from here on we can spend more time together." Thea said, looking at me.

"I won't stop you." I remarked. "Will you not join our hug?"

I raised an eyebrow.

"I don't do group hugs.""Oh please, at least as compensation for the fact I had to hear you have sex?" 2 "Sex? Dare I ask with who?"

Hunter asked, smirking. 1

I glared at them both, maybe introducing them was a bad fucking idea. 1 "Yileyna." Thea said in a singsong

voice.

Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebook"Oh and here he was acting all noble, that they just couldn't be." Hunter mocked. "Are you two done?" I

growled.

"Pretty much." Hunter smirked as Thea chuckled, not minding his arm around her shoulder.

At least if I was no longer around, I knew she'd have a brother to watch and take care of her. ?

"Yes, so what were you going to say about Mom?" Thea asked. Hunter looked conflicted, but I gave a small

nod. "She isn't a child, say what you need to." "It's about the ship you all boarded to escape Andres's apparent

attack." Hunter began, the struggle on his face was clear. "What of it?"

I still remembered that day. The rain was pouring down as Mom begged Dad not to send us away.

"The ship was not in any shape to sail, your father knew that.",

His words rang in my mind as Thea's heart thumped. I said nothing, trying to calm myself and listen to what

Hunter had to say.

I won't forgive him for all he's done. Some of his most trusted men were on that ship.

The sacrifice he needed to control Arabella came to my mind, but would he really sacrifice his loved ones, and

above all, his mate and children?

"The crystal... He gave us a crystal that would teleport us to safety if we met any danger, but it was risky." I

said, frowning. Hunter nodded. "He knew the ship wouldn't make it far, yet he sent you, if that siren didn't killMom and Thalia then that crystal would have." "But he warned us it was risky and should only be used as a

last resort." I replied, frowning "Of course, because when you came back via the crystal, and if anyone who

was with you died on the way, he would have you thinking exactly what you are right now. Tell me, Theon... if

the ship was damaged, it meant you had no other option but to use that crystal. Only those who were strong

enough would have survived it, correct?" Hunter said, now turning away and staring up at the sky. "A way for

him to weed out the weak ones from his family and keep the stronger ones."

"I... I don't think he could have done that to Mom." Thea said quietly, her face ashen. "He didn't mark her

though, correct? Why not? If he truly loved her, then why didn't he mark her? From her notes, she often

sounded like something was troubling her...

I don't think your father treated her as well as it may have appeared." Hunter frowned before he turned back to

me, his eyesfilled with burning anger. "I found one of the very men your father hired to damage the ship. Your

father staged it all, but I couldn't find any reason he would do this. I only had assumptions but now..." "Now?" I

pushed. I had my own assumptions and I felt sick, anger and fury bubbling inside of me. Our eyes met and I

knew for a fact Hunter was equally angry. The clear pain and rage in his eyes proved that. "There was no

attack from Andres, he set it all up to push you onto that ship. I never understood why he would do that, but he

was really only expecting you to make it back, knowing you were an Alpha... Tell me Theon, weren't his most

trusted men on that ship?" I could hear the blood rushing through my veins, and feel the rage bleeding into my

aura that now glowed around me. Six... Aside from his men and Mom, Thalia and Thea, there had also been

three of Dad's closest friends and allies... I remember Mom arguing that he shouldn't send them all with us, but

he had been adamant that they should be with us... He planned to sacrifice them all. Fuck. The burden of his

lies and sins was growing, was death enough for someone like him? • No. It wasn't. 3
