The Alpha's Temptation-Chapter 252 Catch Twenty-Two Situation

After the agreement was signed, Princess Morava couldn't help feeling excited. If she had sold her soul to be mated to the ten Alphas, she was going to make the world pay for it. Because of Lusitania's entry in her life, everything had gone spiraling down. She wanted to take revenge, but she was all alone in it. Now she had the force of Nyxers behind her. She thanked her imprisoned mother for her association with the Nyxers. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

For the first time in many days, she got out of bed and took a long bath that two maids helped her with as an Alpha watched her with interest. Morava was getting irritated and frustrated by their sudden appearances. Her body was sore and she wanted to rest. She had to fix their schedules with her or she was sure she would die one day from having too much of sex. All her life all she had ever imagined was being Eltanin's wife. That wolf was the strongest in Araniea. And she got these Hydranians? "I will kill her..." she muttered.

Felis gave orders to General Alphard to put more vigilance on the Draka border. Alphard had already planned on it. He had sent two more units that were kept hidden at all times. They were all dispersed on the borders. He wanted at least one of them to get into Draka, but that was difficult. He had to break a citizen of Draka to get the information. And it would be better if he got hold of someone from the palace. He was waiting impatiently for Lusitania to come back to Pegasii. He was going to abduct her from there.

"Where do you plan to go once you reach Araniea?" asked Biham to Lord Krail.

Flora had served him with rabbit stew. He was sitting close to his granddaughter and admiring her beautiful looks. He was looking for every minute similarity that they shared. Jiada had been laughing at him when he said that Lusitania looked like him. Lord Krail realized that he loved his grandchild more than his children. How was it possible? They had just met only a few days back. With a sigh, he smiled. When he glanced at everyone else, they were staring at him. "What?" he shrugged. Disregarding everyone, he focused back on Lusitania. "Lusitania, did you ever play with dolls?"

She giggled. "No, grandfather. Not the real ones, anyway. I used to make those small ones out of rags or old clothes and play."

"I will buy you a huge collection of dolls!" Lord Krail grunted. "In fact, I will make sure that you have a room full of them."

Eltanin's mouth fell to the floor. He coughed on the side. "She is a grown woman," he muttered.

"I heard that, King Eltanin," Lord Krail grated. "If she is your wife, it doesn't mean that she can't play with dolls!"

Eltanin raised his eyebrow. Lord Krail was certainly bubbling with more childish ideas than ever. He wanted to spoil Tania for all the time she wasn't with him.

Jiada laughed at her husband, as Bihan stifled a laugh. Kinshra chuckled at him. She didn't know this side of her father.

Kinshra mentioned to them about the spy that Tania had talked about.

"Can we get him?" asked Lord Krail.

"I can try to get him," Biham replied.

"But he is very clever, Father," Tania warned. "He stays in the shadows. No one knows him even in Cetus."

Biham placed his empty bowl on the side and wiped his mouth. "Once we arrive in Araniea, you will go to Draka with Eltanin, while I will go to Pegasii with Kinshra, Lady Jiada and Lord Krail. I will leak the information that you are with me. I am sure Menkar is dying to meet you by now. He will take the bait. I am sure he is going to send his spy first."

His lips curled up. "And then I am going to take that bastard down!" said Lord Krail.

"Why don't we rather say that I am in Draka?" Tania said. "That would be a likable thing to believe. Like I said, he is very clever and slippery."

"He won't slip this time," Kinshra said in a definitive tone.

They started their journey. It was by evening that they reached the passion flower valley. The sun was dropping behind the mountains lazily. The sky was a palate of an artist who had splashed red, orange, violet and gray all over as if still deciding what to create.

As soon as Eltanin saw the beginning of the valley, he said, "I want to shift..."

"Shift, Elty," she encouraged him. "I am there with you."

"Are you sure?" he said, sensing the flowers' effect on him. "Will you be fine?" 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

"I will be fine as long as you are there with me."

Eltanin kissed his wife on the crown of her head. Even though she was feeling so strung up, she was with him. Passing the valley of passion flowers was going to be a test for him.

Tania wanted to be claimed and he would end up claiming her. She just didn't want to go with anyone else, though Biham had suggested to her if she wanted to ride with him. For Tania, it was a catch twenty-two situation.

Eltanin dismounted his horse and shifted into his wolf. Tania caressed his fur before sitting on him. As soon as Eltanin took off, Wind galloped beside him.

This time Lord Krail and Kinshra stayed by their side as Jiada rode with Biham. They were both ready for the emergency situation. However, they couldn't keep their pace with Eltanin and Wind. Both of them were just too fast for them to follow.

When Eltanin reached the middle of the passion valley, he could hear Tania purring. She was getting heated up.

'Claim us...' her magic hissed. She forced it down for a long time, but her body was getting so heated up that she removed her cloak and tossed it off. She dug her nails in Eltanin's back. His wolf growled.
