My Alpha's Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance

Chapter 113

23. 23. A Prince

CHARLENE

The moment he was about to come, he pulled me back, releasing his load over my neck and chest. I gasped. My entire body was craving for him. My heart was thumping, I had never expected that I would enjoy that as much as I did...

He pulled me up, and I locked my arms around his neck as we kissed hungrily. Even when he tore my clothes off like a beast starved for more, I didn‘t care. My only desire was to feel his body against mine. The moment my clothes were cast aside, he carried me into the water, pressing me up against the cliff– side as he kissed me like there was no tomorrow.

There was something different about tonight; his touch was rougher, his hunger was more obvious, and his emotions were so intense. I refused to hold back too, wanting him to lose control and mark me. He had excellent self–control, I could feel it. When he did his best not to be rough, I ground against him, whimpering softly.

“Oh, that‘s it Hunter.” I moaned, reaching between us and pumping his manhood with my hand as I kissed and nibbled his neck.

He tugged my head back, kissing my neck hungrily and I knew this was my chance. Locking my legs around his waist, I lowered myself onto his cock, making him swear. “Fuck me, Alpha.” I moaned coquettishly, as I looked at him with unmasked emotions. His eyes darkened as he cupped my bottom and thrust into me completely. I gasped, my back arching as I felt him stretch me out. I gripped his shoulders as he began pounding me hard and fast, my breasts bounced, and I felt my cheeks heat up

at his gaze that was on them. I met his thrusts, sighing softly as I controlled myself from crying out loud, knowing that we weren‘t so far away from the rest.

Oh fuck, this was so good...

I closed my eyes, losing myself in pleasure, each thrust making me want to scream in pure ecstasy. I buried my head in his neck to muffle the sounds that were escaping me.

“Fuck, you feel so good.” He growled.

“Do you like fucking me, Alpha?” I whispered, running my hands through his hair, before I kissed him sensually. The pressure was heightening, the pleasure rising, and I slipped my tongue into his mouth, moaning against him as he began fucking me harder and faster.

“Make me yours fully, Alpha. Mark me.” I murmured in his ear, rolling my hips and burying his cock deep within me. He swore as I arched my neck in submission to him. “Mark me.”

I could hear his heart thumping as he fought against himself, I twisted my hand into his hair, I planned to win this.

I sucked on his neck, moaning against him, waiting for his release to be near. I could feel my own nearing and knew this was my only chance. I ran my tongue up his neck and nibbled on his ear lobe just as my orgasm hit me. I cried out, twisting my hand into his hair and pulling him to my neck as I/moaned loudly, my entire body

convulsing with my orgasm. ‘I love you.‘ I whimpered through the bond, saying the words I wanted to sing out loud for the world to hear.

“Fuck!” I heard him growl.

His teeth grazed my neck, making me sigh. ‘Fuck, that‘s it...‘ I breathed, the aftermath of my orgasm rushing through me. I looked into his eyes, seeing him fighting for control. My eyes softened, and I was unable to hide the hurt from them. “Do you really not want to mark me?”

Those words were enough to make him frown, tugging my head to the side and sinking his teeth into my neck, the sharp pain accompanied by another jarring orgasm that rushed through me as he released his load into me.

“Fuck.” He growled the moment he retracted his canines, before pressing his lips against my neck.

Our hearts were thumping as I felt the strengthening of the bond that we had now completed. I couldn‘t help but smile, hugging him tightly. “I got my way.” I whispered, feeling rather smug. “You‘re a little minx.” He chuckled hoarsely. He moved back slightly and stared at my neck, a deep calculating expression on his face. “I won‘t be able to let you go, I‘ve fallen deeply for you.”

A flicker of pain crossed his face, and I cupped it, kissing his lips softly, my heart clenching. He feared being left, no matter how much he denied it or didn‘t voice it, it was the fear that was birthed from his mother‘s abandonment.

“You won‘t need to let me go because I will stay with you as promised. Forever.” I whispered, taking an oath on Yileyna in my mind.

She was the one person that meant the most to me and I would never take an oath upon her without meaning it.

No matter what true mate showed up before me, I would not abandon Hunter. Come whatever. 1

It was the following morning, and although Raiden kept winking and teasing me about my mark, I was on cloud nine! I felt happy and complete, Gamma Grayson seemed happy about it too. I wondered if he‘d still smile at me like that if he knew I was his daughter? But I didn‘t want to ruin anything for him

and Gamma female Zoe. 1) I was riding on a horse as Hunter walked in front, reins in hand, when we suddenly came to a stop and he raised his hands giving his men a signal. ‘Stay here.‘ He commanded me, a deep frown on his face before he slipped away with some of his men and Raiden.

Silence ensued, until I heard some shouts, a surge of power followed by a violent wind ripped through the air, making the tree branches whip around us, and hundreds of leaves swirl.

My heart thudded with fear, I jumped of my horse ready to go after Hunter, when Ryan pulled me back.

“He is going to be seriously pissed if you go.” He warned.

I frowned at him. “I am not just going to stay here! That wind wasn‘t normal!”

“Of course it wasn‘t, but you will just be a distraction... women...”

I was about to argue when I heard footsteps, and to my relief, Hunter appeared from between the trees unharmed. I let out a breath of relief, placing a hand to my chest, about to relax when I saw the silver glow of his aura swirling around him and then right next to him was... Zarian? 2

It took me a moment to recognise the fae man. His hair was braided and put in a high ponytail. He was wearing black with dark silver armour, my eyes widened when I saw several knives to his back.

“What is going on...” I murmured, confused at the look in Hunter‘s eyes as he watched Zarian, almost as if not trusting the man who walked with a small smile on his face.

“Alpha Hunter seems to not trust me.” Zarian stated calmly, but I didn‘t miss the sharp glint in his eyes.

“Do you wish to fill the princess in on the truth, or shall I?” Hunter growled, glaring at him.

I wanted to move closer to him, but the moment I thought it, two of Hunter‘s men stepped in front of me, almost as if shielding me from Zarian.

This was crazy, I knew Zarian.

“I know Zarian! We used to be regulars at the tea house he worked at!” I exclaimed, trying to move past them. 1.

“He had his motives.” Hunter‘s dangerous voice came, making me pause.

“Alpha Yileyna trusts him, she wanted us to seek him out.” Raiden explained as he stepped out of the trees last, walking around to the front.

“Then she is far more naive than I thought. Speak or I will carve your tongue out.” Hunter threatened.

Zarian frowned, glaring back at him.

“I have done nothing wrong.”

“Then tell them who you are. I recognised you at the engagement that day, so before you lie, think wisely. I already know your truth even if no one else does.” “Who would have thought the isolated Alpha was so efficient...” Zarian scoffed, making my eyes widen in surprise. “Fine. My name is Anzaria Zenadayn, crown prince of the kingdom of Aerean.” 2

I stared at him in shock.

Crown prince?

“What... what were you doing in Westerfell?” I asked quietly, staring at him as I stepped forward, this time Hunter‘s men allowed me to do so. He seemed to be conflicted by my question before he looked away.

“Oi! You were asked a question.” Ryan growled.

“I was there to attain the heart.”

His words were like a slap in the face. Was that all everyone wanted?

“You... agreed to help Yileyna because you knew what she was?” I asked feeling upset.

Oh, how I missed her.

He frowned slightly and nodded.

“I realised she was the heart, but I helped her out of genuine goodwill.”

“To get close to her you mean.” Raiden added icily.

I glanced at him. Never had I seen him so angry.

“I did nothing wrong, I never hurt her, nor did I try to kill her.” His eyes flashed, and I ran my hand through my hair.

How could we trust anyone when everyone had ulterior motives?

“But you tried to get close to her.” I repeated, feeling hurt.

He shook his head, sighing. “See it as you will, everyone wants the heart, there is no shame in it. The Fae Kingdoms are suffering because of the restrictions at the borders between Astalion and Aerean, as well as the other kingdoms. Astalion holds the most crops in abundance, yet the rulers are entitled and hold most of those crops, crops that we need as well.” “We are on good terms with Aerean, trade is always open, how can you...” I trailed off when I noticed Gamma Grayson look down guiltily, and the look on Hunter‘s face. “What am I missing?” I asked, hating how Dad never told me anything...

No one answered, and when I looked at Gamma Grayson he simply refused to meet my gaze.

“Hunter?”

Despite the seriousness of the situation, a sexy smirk crossed his lips.

‘I love how you just called me that openly. Call me again.‘

I stared at him.

“This is not the time!

He simply looked at me, and I found myself pouting as I frowned at him. “Hunter.”

‘Perfect.’ 3

He became serious once more.

“You may not know, but the trade is bare minimum. The amount of produce that is allowed to cross the border is a bare minimum that would not even make a dent in how much we are able to offer and how much Aerean need. Trust me, I may be of Astalion, but the injustice done to our neighbours is far greater than you may think. But it does not mean I trust you.”

“I‘m glad you are not blinded from the truth at the very least.” Zarian said, looking at Hunter, who simply shrugged.

“I didn‘t plan to get involved, but since it‘s the true ruler of this kingdom who needs our assistance, what kind of brother-in-law would i be if I refused.” He said, giving me a wink before a frown appeared on his handsome face. “Join us and let‘s extend the hand of help to our Queen, the very heart of this world.”

Zarian seemed to hesitate.

“I do not trust your kind.” He said quietly.

Hunter motioned for the men to lower their weapons as he massaged his jaw.

“Don‘t trust us, trust her, the heart of Kaeladia. You must know what the prophecy says, or do you not?”

“Of course, I know of it.” Zarian countered.

“Then you must know that the heart belongs to all.” 1
