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

21.21. An Ancient Monster YILEYNA “What is it?” Theon askedsharply. “Theon that's a-” When the spear-tipped tentacle burst from the sea, | raised my hand, pushing the water that splashed high above the ship, back.

“A Leviathan,” | finished my sentence as the beast rose into the air from the sea, his speared tentacles longer than the ship itself. His tongue whipped in the air as the crew stared at the creature before us.1 “A harbinger of death...” Leto muttered.

“Well, we are not lingering!” Flynn shouted as he barked orders.

Theon and | stood there looking at the beast, that was said to remain deep within the waters of the ocean.

“I'm going to fucking kill it.” Theon growled, about to draw his sword. “Those who kill a Leviathan are doomed to death, we can‘t kill it.” | reminded him quietly, placing my hand on his wrist, stopping him.

The curse on the Leviathan was known to all. Long ago, Oshera cursed that those who tried to kill the Leviathan, would end up dying soon after. A creation she had made to protect the seven seas.

“Who cares? Death is inevitable in the long run. I'll do it.” He muttered, makingfrown. 1 | stared at the creature, who was trying to get closer. | used the wind to push the ship away from him, using the full force of my powers to put distance between us, but it simply loomed above the ship, ten times the size of it. His eyes darted around the ship, as if searching for something. The moment his putrid yellow eyes landed on me, he let out a ground-shattering shriek that madeflinch, before he brought one of his spear-ended tentacles down towards the ship. “Move!” Theon shouted, his arm wrapped around my waist just as | created a shield of ice that rose from the water. His tentacle crashed into it, shattering the barrier upon impact. Slabs of ice flew in the air just as both Theon and | were knocked to the ground, the ship tilted, sending us rolling violently. His arms wrapped around me, and we hit the side harshly as another tentacle ccrashing down. This tI raised my hand, trying to force it back. Maybe | couldn‘t kill it... but I could encase it in ice.

The smell of blood reachednow, and | looked at Theon worriedly as he got to his feet, pullingup. “I need to get closer.” | shouted “What's the plan?”.

“I'm going to freeze it in ice.” He frowned but didn’t questionas | broke into a run, only for the ship to swing violently, throwingoff balance.

“Make sure you don’t kill it.” He warned, blocking a piece of ice as | deflected it with the tips of my fingers.

“Worried?” | couldn‘t help but ask.

“Maybe.” His quiet voice came, making my stomach do a flip. “Don’t worry, | won‘t kill it. I just | need to somehow touch it, any part of it...” “Well he's fucking trying to ruin the ship, getting close is easier said than done!” Theon called over the raging wind, as | summoned lightning, the only problem was it was wrapping itself around the ship and | didn‘t want to cause a fire. “I have an idea, are you able to push him off the ship?” “I could try.” | yelled back as the winds becstronger. Focusing on my target, my eyes blazed as | summoned the power of the wind and water to me, forcing the Leviathan to loosen his hold on the ship. “Keep going and I'll get you closer!” His voice was emotionless yet sharp, his eyes were fixed on the dark greyish blue monster that was trying to pull us under. The crew were trying to do their best, but we were in the hold of this monster that was so much bigger than any of us.

The ship tilted violently, and | realised | needed to shift. In my siren form, | was stronger in the sea.

“Theon I'm going to shift!” “Do not get in the water!” He shouted, but | pulled away.

| saw the concern and fear in his eyes as | pulled away, running to the edge of the ship. I closed my eyes, willing myself to shift. | felt an odd sensation in my legs before | transformed, jumping into the stormy sea. 1) My eyes blazing with power as | spread my hands on the surface of the water, causing it to wrap around the Leviathan.

Another terrifying roar was heard, and | saw Theon at the edge of the boat. His glowing amber aura was around him, and | heard the Leviathan hiss in pain.

This was my chance. His hold on the ship loosened thanks to Theon's attack, and | closed my eyes as | grabbed onto his tail, letting a thick layer of ice begin to spread from my finger, coating his entire body slowly and steadily.

It was a few moments later when it realised what was happening.

It writhed and flailed its tentacles, but a strong swirl of water wrapped aroundas | slowly let the ice encase its entire body. Our eyes met and a final roar left its mouth, before his tongue whipped out, catchingby surprise. The barbed tip sliced through my stomach, throwinginto the water. 1 | gasped at the searing pain that tore through my stomach, as the huge body of the Leviathan slowly began to sink, the ice encasing its entire body. | kept going as he struggled to crack the prison of ice.

It was my will and strength against his.

Its yellow eyes burned into mine as | clutched my stomach, breathing hard. Just as the ice-covered him fully, a strong arm wrapped around my chest, pullingup. We broke the surface, and | looked into the eyes of none other than Theon. “That was fucking reckless.” He growled, his hand going to my stomach as he touched the wound.

“I'm ok.” | said breathlessly. But despite that, | wrapped my arms loosely around his neck, allowing him to support me. | felt exhausted.

| was ok, the wound would heal. | let the water assist us, rising up so we were level to the deck. We tumbled backwards onto the wet floor of the deck just when the ship that had been tilted on its side was thrown into the water, knocking us both down the starboard side, rolling as we went.

| gasped when we cto a stop and Theon's head hit my chest. The moment his lips accidentally touched my skin, | was unable to hold back the small whimper that escaped me, my nipples hardening at his touched. He tensed, lifting himself off me, his knees on either side of me, his heart thumping as he stared at my bloody stomach. “You're injured.” He said, placing a hand on my lower stomach as he tried to stem the bleeding, looking around as if for help.

My core clenched as our eyes met. “I'm ok...” | breathed. “That was fucking crazy.” He growled hoarsely, grabbingby the back of my hair.

| gasped, pleasure rushing through me, the relief and the sheer reality of what we had just narrowly missed madefeel giddy. “I am crazy.” | whispered back, unable to stop myself from running my hand up his shoulder and wrapping it around the back of his neck.

Just one taste.

| flipped us over, moaning when my core pressed against the hard shaft in his pants.

His eyes flashed gold as his gaze dipped down, and | knew my scales had moved aside, feeling his soaking pants against my vagina. His heart thundered as he stared at my pussy, his chest heaving, and he rolled us over so he was on top. Blazing gold orbs filled with hunger and lust dipped to my lips, before reality seemed to settle in and he suddenly stood up and turned his back to me. What was | doing? My heart was thumping, trying to make sense of the emotions | was feeling, when Theon pulled his shirt off, tossing it atbefore he walked away without even looking back My heart pounded as | held onto the soaking shirt.

| frowned seeing the bandages wrapped around his chest.

Was Theon hurt? But | didn’t have the tto ask as he vanished, leavingalone and naked clutching his shirt completely confused with that moment that had transpired between us.

He still madelose my self-control. We still wanted one another even if we couldn‘t
