Chapter 13747. The Final Sunset

YILEYNA

The day of the gathering had come, and I was lucky that I hadn‘t seen Theoden again. The memory of

what almost happened still placed a sliver of fear within me.

What could have happened if Theon didn‘t arrive?

A guard would come to give me food a few times, and had taken the baby. Although I had asked if he

would return the baby to the parents, I wasn‘t sure he would, as he had simply slammed the door behind

him.

Theon had slipped inside yesterday, leaving a dagger and a few charms with me, telling me that today

was the day of the attack. Theoden was planning something tonight, I had to stay alert. As for the

necklace given to me by Lavine, he had said he had a good idea where it might be, and if he didn‘t

manage to find it, then he would go to the coast and try to contact someone by other means.

I was certain the sirens would be on alert. Waiting. I was now pacing the room, feeling suffocated and useless, when suddenly the door opened and

Arabella entered, along with two omegas who were holding bundles of items and what looked to be an

extravagant gown. “Alpha King Theoden sends a wedding dress for his bride.” She declared, motioning

for the omegas to step forward.

Her words sent a sliver of hatred through me, but I kept my face passive.

I had no interest in seeing it at all.

“You should take a look because you will wear it soon.” She announced emotionlessly.

Soon? “Care to elaborate?” I asked coldly, observing her intently. “Tonight, when the Alpha King takes

the hearts of the Alphas and paints the streets of Westerfell in crimson, becoming the supreme Alpha of

Alphas, he will marry and mark you.” Tonight

Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookBut more than that word, it was the rest of her sentence that struck me hard. Was he planning to kill the

Alphas so he could take over their packs? What else could she mean by ‘takes the hearts of the Alphas.’

How would that even work? One man alone could not rule the entire kingdom. Nobles of ranked houses

and Alphas were needed for each region to maintain peace.

If Theoden was thinking he would kill the Alphas and claim their packs... This was something he couldn‘t

do unless it was a challenged duel, or if he was planning to force their hand and make them hand it over.

Either way, it would be horrifying and a total massacre, for although many respected their sovereign,

Alphas were born to be possessive and dominant of their packs. Besides, from what I learned, not

everyone trusted or liked Theoden. I felt sick at the very thought of his plans, but in all of this, I at least

had a means to talk to Theon. Something that had helped so much, knowing he wasn‘t far, and every

half an hour he would check in on me... even through the night, sometimes when I stirred or could not

sleep,

he would be there for me, making sure I was fine.

In a way I felt he was near, and I was beginning to await the day when he would mark me. There was a

time that I did not think Theon and I could ever be, but why else was fate forcing us together time and

time again? No matter what or where life took us, we were still drawn to one another, and above all, I had

marked him. I made him mine and he will surely make me his. We were meant to be one.

“Get her ready.” Arabella commanded icily as she stood to the side, watching me sharply.

I stared at the beautiful dress that brought me no joy.

A marriage to my lover‘s father? The very thought of the man made my skin crawl.

‘Theon?‘ I wondered if he was within range.

‘Hey, beautiful.‘ 3 My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn‘t deny that hearing his voice in my head was a pleasant

sensation.

Arabella just told me that the wedding is tonight.‘ I said quietly.

Silence.

I wish he was here so I could see his expression. ‘Play along, keep the dagger close, we attack tonight.’

His words made my stomach flutter with nerves, he didn‘t say anything about the marriage... ‘Ok‘I replied

softly.

‘He will not marry you, Little Storm, I won‘t fucking allow it. Ever. Wait for me and we will take back your

kingdom together.‘

I smiled softly. I looked in the mirror as the Omega began working on my hair. 1

‘I will always wait for you.‘ I remember the moments in the cabin from long ago, when I would wait for

him. Will we ever have that again?

‘I look forward to it. I do have some good news, I found the necklace and I plan to go down to the coast

as soon as I can, I will be back in time.‘

‘Theon, I think your assumption was correct, he wants to be the ultimate Alpha.‘ ‘I‘m not surprised. We

will make it on time. I promise you.‘ ‘I have faith in you.‘ Arabella approached, her heels echoing on the

hard floors. “Why are you smiling?” She asked me, crouching down as she stared into my eyes. “I just…

never realised becoming queen would be so easy. The king himself chose me.” “You do not love the

king.” She declared, sounding almost bitter. I looked her in the eyes, keeping my emotions in check as I

observed her intently. “But you do.” I murmured quietly.

Lately, I realised despite her emotionless exterior, she was displaying slivers of emotions, especially

around me. “He is my master, nothing more. Do not disrespect him.” She hissed, her eyes flashing asher dark energy filled the room.

“You are bound to him, correct? By fulfilling the conditions, you are entirely at his will.” I replied, picking

up the jewelled earrings from the velvet case that the omega had placed down.

“Even without it, I would serve him.” She stood up, turning away as she pulled her aura in. “Hmm. Of

course, I wonder if he just didn‘t trust you?” I mused. “Why else did he make sure you were entirely

under his control?”

She turned, her eyes filled with rage, making the omegas flinch and move away. “It gave him power too!

He trusts me, it was not because he didn‘t want me to go against him! “She hissed, grabbing hold of my

arm. I clenched my jaw, feeling her touch burn me. I pulled free and stood up. “Watch yourself! I am

positive the king would not be happy if he saw his bride with burns. Especially with the entire kingdom

here to witness this wedding.” I growled.

“You will heal.” She said, dangerously clenching her hands. I raised an eyebrow. “With the silver in my

system, I doubt I will heal so fast. Now leave me be, I need to prepare for my wedding.” I smiled

mockingly, knowing she was somewhat jealous.

In truth, I pitied her. She had been taken as a child and she was born with evil within her. Theon had

done some research, and although he didn‘t find much, in some old archives Andres had left some diary

entries about killing the Dark Ones. A dagger through the forehead was the only way for they had no real

hearts. He also said they thrived on darkness and discord. So, the closer she was around someone like

Theoden, the better and stronger she‘d feel in comparison to if she was in the same room as me.

‘She will be weaker around you than me, because you don‘t have darkness in you.’ Theon‘s words

played in my mind, and I realised why my smile had angered her; I was happy and that weakened her.

I tried not to think of the worries or the fight ahead, and focused on the good in my life: Theon, Charlene,

her happiness, everyone I loved. My people. The future I wanted for us all. Even when the veil was arranged in such a manner to hide my collar, I didn‘t let it dull my positivity.

“You are ready, my queen.” The Omega whispered, lifting the veil from my face.

I looked at her. She was one of my pack members.

I smiled at her, seeing the fear in her eyes.

Fear not, all hope is not lost. I turned to the mirror and gazed at my reflection. This colour wasn‘t for me...

The only warm colour that looked good on me was Theon. 1

Oh, how I yearned for the moment I could take his hand and be free. The day I could tangle my fingers

into his dark coppery locks and feel his lips on mine...

“Remain ready. When the time comes to call you, I will come to get you myself.” Arabella said before

motioning for the omegas to leave before her.

Once they left, and the key scraped in the lock, I waited for a few moments before I went to my hiding

spot. I took out the charms Theon had given me and slipped them down the side of my dress, then,

sliding my skirts up, I slipped on some pants. I will rip the skirts off when the time came... Strapping my

dagger to my thigh, although it wouldn‘t be the fastest place to access, I had no other choice. ‘Theon?‘

No reply.

Which meant he was out of range, perhaps down by the coast. So now I must wait. I hoped everything

went well.

A few hours had passed, and I was still in my room, simply waiting and feeling restless.

‘Yileyna?‘ I tilted my head as Raiden‘s voice came into my head. Theon had found them, and a few of them were currently in hiding within the city.

“Raiden.

‘We will be here, keeping an eye, don‘t worry about anything. We are going to win this... As for your

request; it has been passed on.‘ 2

My heart skipped a beat and I smiled softly.

‘Thank you. I appreciate it.‘ ‘I want to tell you one more thing...‘

‘Of course.

‘You were right. Thea is incredible, and once this is over, I will be asking her to marry me.’

My heart leapt with joy as I fought my emotions of happiness.

He had felt he needed to tell me, and I hoped this was the beginning of his true happiness. ‘I‘m so happy

for the both of you. She will make the perfect mate and beta female.‘ ‘That she will; she is brave, strong,

and beautiful.‘ ‘She is. Congratulations to you both.‘ ‘Thank you.’

We ended the link, and I turned to the barred window.

Let‘s see what you have planned, for I will be looking forward to seeing the look of defeat upon your face

when we overthrow you.

Every action has consequences, Theoden, and the time has come for you to pay for every crime that you

have ever committed. I gazed at the setting sun, the colours bathing the room in hues of blood red and

deep

simmering oranges. The sun must always set, and today not only will it set on a day gone by, but upon the reign of a tyrant

king. For tomorrow before sunrise, I will be Queen. 1
