The Alpha's Temptation-Chapter 388 What Could A Poor Man Do?

Fafnir put her down and made her stand against the pillar and then covered her around her with his arms. The moment he did that, she froze in her spot. Tucking a strand away from her face behind her ear, he whispered, "This is the only way to protect you, otherwise I might have to kill those guards. Brace yourself."

Tabit had a second to brace herself when he tipped her chin up and his lips came crashing down on hers. Before she knew, his tongue slipped into her mouth and a moan escaped which she realized was from her. He had covered her from all sides with his arms and wedged a thigh between hers and then... the world faded. Surrounded by his brine smell, she tasted his hotness and... garlic. Yuck.

The only way to save her at the moment was by surrounding her in his smell and acting like two lovers in the chaos.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Alina growled as she passed them, smelling mint and garlic. "There is a war going on! Get out of here!"

Fafnir pulled away from Tabit with difficulty. He tilted his head and peeked out from the pillar. Immediately, he bowed his head and watched the queen gliding past them with her guards. A guard sneered at him and indicated with his chin to get out of here.

As soon as they had rounded the corner, Fafnir picked up his mate, hauler her over his shoulder and then sprinted across the corridors. He took to the gardens rather than going through the main halls to avoid meeting people.

Tabit was shocked as she was carried out of her palace in the most primitive, Neanderthal manner. "Puaaaut meeee dddaaaown!" she squealed.

Fafnir instantly stopped and set her on the ground. She began to feel dizzy and was shaky when she was on the ground. He held her tightly against his chest for her to stabilize. She craned and blinked at him. "I-- I can run..." she said. "And where is father? What is happening? L--leave me."

Fafnir clenched his jaws but he left her and the moment he left her, he hated it. He wanted to gather her back in his arms, pick her up and take her to safety. And there was very little time left. "I don't know where King Mintaka is. I told you that a war was declared by King Eltanin. And if I leave you, my King will kill me for not getting you back safely. And I, being a General, need to be there with my people as soon as possible."

"But how did this situation arrive?" she asked, bewildered, seeing everyone running around, soldiers shouting orders, carriages and horses being pulled and servants squealing or running inside the palace. Just a few meters away was the portcullis where a heavy movement of horses was seen.

"I will tell you all the details, Princess Tabit, but first let me take you to safety. But know this-- your father sent a tray that had a tattered flag of Draka in it only two hours back. And that enraged King Eltanin!"

Tabit's hand flew to her mouth as she looked at him, disbelieving. "B-- but how is this possible?" Memories of what her mother did flashed across her mind. Alina had made her unconscious and abducted her. Did her mother do all this?

? "There she is!" Alina's shrill voice boomed in. "Catch her. She's a traitor!" 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Tabit couldn't believe that her mother was calling her a traitor. Her heart sank as knots twisted in her stomach. She closed her eyes and when she opened at them, she found Fafnir growling at the soldiers to dare them to come near him. They were running towards them to catch her. She grabbed his hand and said, "Come with me!" She tugged him away and they made their way through the horses and out of the portcullis. As soon as they were out, Fafnir grabbed the reins of a horse, mounted it and picked her up to make her sit in front of him. Together, they rode as fast as possible.

Alina shouted at her guards to catch her. She knew that Rigel loved Tabit and that she would be a good bait for him to stop fighting and give in. So she was going to Tabit's bedchamber to retrieve her and hide her. However, as soon as she reached there, she saw that the bed was empty. Her mind went numb when her guards said that the guards who were guarding her door were found dead in the corner.

She realized that she had just crossed the man who was fleeing with her. Was Tabit aware that she was being captured? She screamed at her guards to go after the man who they just saw in the corridor. They rushed after him, but they found them near the portcullis. Unfortunately, it was too late. Alina couldn't catch them. She let out a frustrated scream when Tabit disappeared with that man in front of her eyes.

Fafnir reached the Draka army camp in less than an hour. Tabit suggested to him a different route to get out of the kingdom because the main one was filled with a sea of soldiers.

Fafnir had curled his arm tightly around her waist and held reins of the horse with one hand. She was the most precious thing fate had given him and he was going to ensure her safety. His mind would go back to the kiss he had given her and that made his cock grow hard. His face flushed red when she gasped at his hardness. He was so embarrassed but what could a poor man do?

He tried to think of the impending war, strategies on how to defeat the Orion army and even how he was going to kill them, but the moment she shifted on the saddle, her back pressed against his shaft and he groaned as it pulsated with need. "Princess Tabit--"
