SWNOVELS Chapter 25
25. Anger In The Darkness
YILEYNA
The following morning dawned darker and colder than the previous day. I dressed warmly, wearing brown leather pants, a white
corset, and a leather fur-lined jacket on top. My hair was pulled back into a ponytail, not wanting the wind to blow it into my face
all through the day.
I had just pulled on some socks when there was a knock on the door, and I stood up and unlocking it, pulled it open.
Charlene stood there all bundled up in a long fur coat, her hair elegantly braided. I had to admit she was talented despite having
omegas to help her back home. “Morning, my darling. Damn, look at those boobs.” She said, winking suggestively at me, making
me giggle. “Good morning from these cushions to their favourite lady.” I said as she hugged me, laughing lightly.
I pulled away after a moment and plopped onto the bed to put my other sock on.
“How are you feeling?” She asked me seriously.
“I’m ok, why?” “What do you mean, why? Do you remember what happened last night?”
I glanced at my heeled boots and sighed, pulling them on. “Yes, and I plan to get revenge, what he did was not ok.” I looked up
at her. “Yeah, exactly. Just stay away from him Yileyna, don’t mess with him. I swear if he wasn’t my guard, I feel like he’d have
killed me by now... You know, sometimes when he looks at me...” She sighed, staring at her boots. “I feel like he hates me.” I
raised an eyebrow. “Theon? He hates everyone Charl, remember? Have you seen him towards me?” I asked, pulling the laces
that were along the front of my boots tight and tying it. “I don’t think the way he looks at you is the same as the way he looks at
me.”
My cheeks heated up and I kept my gaze down, tying my other boot up. I looked up at her sharply after a moment of pondering
on her words. Why did she feel he hated her? “What do you mean?” I asked seriously.
“I just feel like he gets angry at times, when we are training... He keeps calling me useless and weak, sometimes it’s like he’s
fighting with his own emotions not to just rip me apart... Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t think he likes being my guard. On this
mission, he isn’t my bodyguard, and he doesn’t even care what happens to me.”
I tilted my head, standing up and cupping her face.
“l’ll try paying a little more attention, and from tomorrow I’ll attend your training, even if
it’s just to watch, ok? I won’t leave you alone.”
If he was venting his anger on her, then I was not going to let her suffer alone.
“Thanks, but I don’t want him to say anything to you.” “I don’t care, I’ll handle him. Now... Do you have any ideas of how I can
punish him? I think maybe I should get like a spatula or something from the kitchen and spank his ass.” I snickered as we left my
room.
Charlene stopped in her tracks, staring at me as if I had grown an extra head
“Yileyna! This is serious.”
“I know, I know, don’t worry, I don’t forgive so easily... Actually, I might have an idea...” Step one, ignore him. I won’t be the one
to talk to him, but when he tries to talk to me, I will flip. But to keep his attention on me and rile him up, I should add a sexy
touch... “One second, I’ll be right back!”
I rushed back to my room and rummaged through my things until I took three delicate necklaces out and put them on. There,
that’s better. 1
I looked down at the little crystal on the longest chain, nestled nicely between my breasts.
I may have agreed to be your fuck partner Theon, but I didn’t give you permission to treat me like that.

I had ignored him; from the moment I saw him over breakfast, I decided I wasn’t going to give him any importance. Flirting lightly
with Raiden, who I saw was finding it amusing and enjoying it. With each passing hour, I was pissing Theon off. He was getting
snappy, his anger was clear from the way he was talking to anyone who approached him.
I chatted to the crew members, when he sent Raiden to do some jobs, I didn’t even spare him a glance, getting to know the crew
better, doing my best to ignore him entirely. Cleo was funny, she was straight up and crass, I enjoyed talking to her. She was
thirty-two and I learned her mate had been killed by a rogue, that’s when she decided to travel the seas. They had never marked
each other, promising one another that they’d carry on and live their lives if one of them was to die.
It had hit me hard... thinking about Mom and Dad. I never realised there were people who would even consider that. To refrain
from completing the bond so the other doesn’t die if harm befalls one...
“Don’t look so down, girl.” She smiled, smoking her cigar.
I smiled back and nodded, but I couldn’t deny that her words had affected me. I glanced out at the sea, about to turn away when
I saw Barbara standing talking to Theon. He stood there, legs slightly apart, arms crossed, one hand resting under his chin, and
to my surprise, his eyes were on her. A flare of jealousy washed through me and I did a once over. She was wearing a cropped
top and fitted pants, from her body language, I could tell she was totally flirting.
I turned away, I was not going to bother with them, but... I planned to get my revenge, what exactly that was going to be or how I
was going to accomplish it, I wasn’t sure.
Now, where was kalden?
“llave any of you guys seen aiden?” I asked
I didn’t bother turning back as Charlene raised an eyebrow curiously
“Nope”
“He went to get something from the hold” Pyan added,
“Oh perfect, I’ll go check Thanks, Ryan.” I smiled before 1 sauntered oil, slipping my hands into my pant pockets, making sure to
make use of my curvy hips and ass
What better way to get attention! I fell him watching me and almost smirked, he was predictable I knew theon would follow
I headed below deck, walking down the hall and towards the hold. Going down the ladder, looked around the dark room. The
entire place was full of boxes, sucks and crates i pulled the 111le lantern on, letting it cast its bleak light
“Raiden?” I asked, thinking it was so dark in here, “Where was he?” Thad planned to make Theon jealous. But how do I do that if
he isn’t around I’ll go look elsewhere
I was about to turn when a voice came from behind me
“You forget that I can mind link, unlike you, he isn’t here” A cold voice I recognised came, and then we were plunged into
darkness,
My heart thundered as I spun around, hearing him descend the steps,
“You told him to leave?” I asked icily,
Crossing my arms, 1 turned my back on him. A llare of anger rushed through me, “Yeah Shame you can’t call anyone, It’s just
you and me, little storm.”
I spun around looking at him, or what I could see My wolf hadn’t awoken, so I couldn’t see as well in the dark as a shifted
werewolf. This wasn’t the plan, I wasn’t meant to be stuck alone with him.
“What do you want?” I asked coldly, “After what you did last night, I’mn impressed you can show your face in front of me.”
1 stepped away, hitting my foot on one of the crates, “What were you expecting? An apology?” His cold voice came, My irritation
was growing, and I glared at him, or where I thought his eyes were I hated the fact I couldn’t see
“From you? No, you don’t know what an apology even is.” I hissed, “But if you think you can throw me into dangerous waters and
I’m going to just be ok with it? Then you are in for an
wakening,”
“Dangerous waters? This place is fucking dead. There was nothing dangerous out there If you Tiad swumn you would have been
fine out of there,” His icy reply came,
“Are you actually justifying what you did?” I asked,
Goddess wasn’t there a light down here, or was the one at the top of the step ladder the only one?
“I don’t have anything to justify. You disrespected me in front of the entire crew, and I punished you.” I felt him come closer and I
stepped back, hitting another box and almost
falling
“You can’t punish me for speaking up. You are not Beta yet, Theon, remember that.” I reminded him coldly.
My eyes flew open when his hand wrapped around my throat, his minty breath fanning my
face. I could feel that he was standing extremely close, his chest almost grazing mine.
“I am still in charge of this mission, Yileyna. I told you, regardless of our agreement, don’t expect special treatment from me.” He
replied coldly.
I scoffed.
“I wasn’t expecting special treatment, but throwing me overboard? Really, Theon? I saved-” I stopped, realising what I had been
about to say and tried to yank his hand from my throat.” Just let go of me.”
“No.”
“Theon! Let me go.” I hissed, trying to pull away.
“No. Calm the fuck down.”
“Don’t tell me to calm down when you fucking put me in danger!” I snapped, trying to hit him blindly. He grabbed my hands,
holding them tightly against his chest, his other hand still around my throat.
“Can you stop being so fucking dramatic? I pulled you out too.” He growled, making my stomach flutter. Not now, Yileyna, focus.
No matter how he made me feel, I was still angry.
UC
His eyes were glowing gold now, and I could see he was trying to control himself. “That doesn’t excuse you.” I shot back
venomously. He had to realise I was fucking pissed. I could feel his anger radiating off him, when suddenly he let go of me. One
arm snaked around my waist, the other grabbing me by the back of my neck.
“Fine. I was pissed and I took it out on you. You went and flirted with Bolton all fucking morning, we’re even?”
“We are not even!”
“Then what do you want me to do?” He replied huskily, making my eyes fly open in surprise.
My heart thudded.
“How about you start with an apology, because-” I froze when his lips met mine. Tingles of pleasure coursed through me, my
heart thumping. His lips moved against mine slowly, grazing against them painstakingly slowly and my mind
went blank. A strange, intense wave of sparks rushed through me, this kiss was different... It wasn’t fast or heated... It... My
body involuntarily arched against him, his hand running down my waist under my jacket. My breath hitched, but just as my
eyelids were about to flutter shut, they flew open, my anger returning with vengeance. No, I will not give in.
And with my anger fuelling me, I brutally bit into his plush bottom lip. He growled, ripping away from me, his eyes blazing with
anger. “Do not fucking think that will get you off the damn hook!” I hissed, clenching my fist and punching him straight in the jaw.
In the darkness, I saw his eyes widen in shock. I froze with surprise too, not expecting him to not block that. The taste of his
blood lingered in my mouth, I could feel it dripping down my lip but I refused to wipe it, waiting for him to react.
We stared at each other for a moment, neither of us moving, when suddenly the door opened and the light was turned on...
