“Calm the fuck down, Yileyna.” Theon growled as he pushed against the whirling wind.
My head was going to explode! He knew the king’s attitude, and I knew that he would have gone to talk
to Soleil. Charlene would be there, and he wouldn’t take care to break it to her gently. We both knew
the king was selfish, yet Theon stopped her from coming here… I could have done it in a better way! I
could have told her in a gentler manner! She may or may not be my biological sister, but she was
always going to be my soul sister regardless of blood.
I was scared, terrified that she would be hurt because of me… and Theon. He had to go mess
everything up! “Don’t tell me to calm down.” I hissed, clenching my fists as I stormed over to him, the
wind whipping around us like a hurricane. “If I messed up something of yours, you would lose your shit!
So don’t tell me to calm down! This was so important, Theon!”
“The Alpha can handle her himself. Stop causing a fucking scene.” He growled, glancing around the
room before he grabbed my arm. I could see the Bolton’s watching, looking at the wind that was
beating around me.
Calm yourself…
Zarian’s guidance ran in my mind, and I tried to take a steady breath.
I had to be careful, I was indoors, there were patients here. I allowed Theon to pull me into the hallway,
but the moment we were out, I punched him, he dodged but I managed to snag a hit at his neck
His eyes flashed as he licked his bottom lip, looking pissed.
“I hope she does get hurt. Wouldn’t that be fun?” He whispered tauntingly.
My eyes flashed in anger. “Why do you hate her? She’s never done anything to you!”
The nearest window slammed open, the skies darkening outside.
“I hate how you belittle her! She is a far better person than you ever will be!” I snapped resentfully.
My chest was heaving with emotions that seemed to no longer be in my control.
“Control yourself.” He warned coldly, any amusement from his face going as he glanced at the weather
outside.
He looked back at me, and whatever he saw in my face made him frown. “Last warning, little storm.
Control it or I will fucking knock you out.” He growled. The pain in my stomach was growing, and
although I was trying to focus, I couldn’t, the havoc of emotions from everything was taking over.
Unleash it all…
I just wanted to scream and let it all out… “Ylleyna!” His voice was fading, but when he tried to grab
me, I pushed him off, punching him.
He blocked, knocking my hand aside, flipping me. He skidded on the glassy ice on the floor, and landed
flat on his back with me on top. He didn’t seem to be bothered by rolling us over. so I was beneath him.
That must have hurt.
“Get off of me!” I hissed. This dress may have been made from a delicate fabric, but it was stronger
than I thought it would be
We slid on the ice. He was unable to hold his balance, something I was having no issue with. His rising
irritation would have been amusing if I was not so angry. He growled, as I twisted, slamming him onto
his back, and this time I landed a solid punch on his handsome jaw. A satisfying crack made me smile.
“You know what I love more than hearing you groan in pleasure?” I whispered in his ear, just as he
managed to wrap his hand around my throat, yanking me closer. “It’s the sound of me breaking your
bones.” I added darkly before slamming my free hand into his nose.
I gasped as he flipped us, slamming me into the ice. My vision darkened as he straddled me, his eyes
glowing, his coppery hair falling in front of his forehead. “Shame you won’t be breaking any more bones
then.” He whispered, pinning my wrists to the ground.
Wrong move.
The moment I was unable to fight against his strength, I felt another tug in my stomach, a gut -
wrenching one that made me unable to breathe for several seconds.
He was thrown back by a powerful blast, the shimmering haze creating a barrier around me. The pain
in my stomach was growing, and I heard the sound of thunder through the open window. Blinding
lightning followed. I heard screams of panic and distant shouting, but I wasn’t quite able to place where
we were anymore.
I flinched with pain that seemed to be tearing my stomach apart. “Yileyna?” Theon called, but I was in
too much pain to respond. I saw his shadow approach despite the vicious wind that now encased me.
He pushed against it trying to reach me, the wind cutting into his skin, but he didn’t seem bothered. He
managed to take hold of me by my arm
Fire.
The scene around me was changing,
I was in the open castle courtyards…
A hooded man in a black cape stood there… there was so much fire… bodies were discarded all
around…
What was going on?
The cloaked man turned, his glowing amber eyes met mine… I couldn’t see who it was, but I
felt like I knew him… He said something, but I couldn’t hear… and then he threw a lit match towards
me…
I screamed in agony as I felt my entire body burn, the taste of blood in my mouth, and then everything
went cold… so cold.
But I could see nothing, my powers making me fall to my knees.
A scream filled the air, and I knew it was mine.
“Yileyna!” “Everyone stay back!” “Dear Goddess…” “Yileyna, fuck, listen to me.” Theon… His voice was
soft, calm, and soothing, but I was no longer able to do anything, the agonising pain in my stomach
crushing me. “Leyna…”
I gasped the moment I felt his touch on my arms. The scene with the blazing fire returned, and I
knocked Theon away.
“Don’t touch me!” I screamed blindly. “Yileyna, calm down, listen it’s me, Raiden.” A calmer touch
brushed my back, but I flung him away without meaning to.
I couldn’t see anything but the fierce wind and fog. “Fuck, she’s bleeding… I’ll handle her, Bolton!”
Theon’s possessive growl came.
“What on Kaeladia…”
Was that the king?
I could taste the blood in my mouth. My ear drums felt like they were going to burst. “Stop! This might
be it… The seal may break”. “She’s bleeding!” Theon’s dangerous reply came. “I’m knocking her out.”
“Theon! She can do this! Let her.” The king thundered, only adding to my irritation.
“No. Not like this.” Theon’s voice held finality as the king growled, before his strong arms wrapped
around me and something hit the back of my neck. I gasped as everything began to go dark… “I got
you.” His whispered promise came before I succumbed to the darkness… 3
My eyes flew open. I was in a bed… I couldn’t recognise which room, but the bed was large, with heavy
bedding. It was dark, the curtains were drawn, and I could hear faint talking.
I pushed the cover off, realising I was only in the under-layer bodysuit, my dress gone. What
happened?
It took me a few minutes for everything to come back to me. I closed my eyes, placing my head in my
hands.
I had messed up, I shouldn’t have gotten angry or lost control like this… Zarian had told me I
needed to control my emotions. Did I hurt anyone? I remembered Theon and Raiden were both there.
Goddess! Raiden didn’t get hurt again, did he? “Yileyna, you’re awake.” My heart pounded, 1 gasped
before I realised that Charlene had been sitting by the bed and had awoken with a start herself.
“Goddess, you scared me.” I scolded, placing a hand on my heart. A smile crossed her lips, despite the
sadness in her eyes as she flicked the lamp on
She had been crying.
My stomach sank, and I wondered if she knew. I wrapped my arms around her and she hugged me
tightly. Her heart was pounding, and she held me so fiercely, as if scared she was going to lose me.
“Tell me, my queen, what’s wrong?” I whispered, I could hear talking and I didn’t want to be disturbed.
“I’m fine, I’m just glad you are ok.” She replied, moving back and brushing my hair back
“Where are am I?” I asked, glancing around the room. “You’re in the guest bedroom in our quarters.”
Charlene said quietly.
“Oh…”
I had never been here before. I usually spent time in the living areas or Charlene’s bedroom whenever I
stayed over.
