The Alpha's Temptation-Chapter 424 Do Not Stop

Eltanin was sitting in his official chamber talking with Fafnir and other zonal Generals. "What is the report about the attack on Aquila?" he asked.

"The Nyxers were chased away from the boundary, Your Highness," said Fafnir. "Though there is no activity on the side of Hydra, I feel that it is the quiet before a storm."

Eltanin's brows creased as he thought deeply about it. Felis was not the type to sit quiet. He was always into one or the other shenanigans. Always hatching a plot to disturb the peace of other kingdoms. And so this quiet on his side was eerie. "What do you think he must be up to?" he asked his General. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

Fafnir shrugged. "I don't know, Your Highness."

Eltanin took a ragged breath in. "Over the past months, all his attacks and strategies are falling apart. He is desperate now and, in his desperation, he will do something dangerous. I am not sure what would be his next step, but it might be either very foolish or very daring." He got up from his chair and walked to the window of the meeting chamber with his hands clasped at the back. "Where are all the faes that King Biham has pledged us?"

"They are all in their positions, Your Highness," said Fafnir.

"Good," he murmured. "Increase the vigilance on the Draka border. If you want to send more soldiers, send. Make sure that you send a message to the Pegasii king that he should also increase his vigilance."

"I will, Your Highness."

Just as he was about to turn, his gaze turned to the sky where he saw… Tania flying. "Calaman's horns!" He gritted his teeth because he was so angry that he wanted to shout. "Meeting is dismissed!" he announced and then strode out of the room in a hurry.

Eltanin ran through the corridors to reach his wife who was blissfully flying in the air. He was panting by the time he reached the garden over which she was flying. And with her was Flora. "Come down!" he growled.

Tania giggled when she heard him and then swooped down with her wings spread at her back. She touched his head and instantly shot back to the sky, laughing. There was so much joy on her face that Eltanin couldn't help grinning. But the moment he saw her up in the sky, his anger returned. "Tania, come down at this moment!" She was pregnant and didn't she think even once about it?

Tania glided over him in a circle along with Flora and then she landed in front of him. Flora landed at a distance. She bowed to the king and went away from there. She didn't want to come in between the husband and wife.

"I asked you not to fly! You are pregnant. Doesn't that get in your mind!" he growled at her.

Tania rolled her eyes. "Elty, don't be so dramatic. I am fine and so are the pups. I really needed those wings to fly. I need that exercise. It's important for me. Please understand." She started walking back to her room and threw her braid at the back which came and settled right in between her wings.

"Tania, you can't be this careless!" He rushed after her and her braid caressed his cheek.

"I am not careless. I know how much I can push myself. Stop being so overprotective! Besides, Flora was with me. It's not like I was alone."

"I am afraid, Tania. I would—" he couldn't complete his words.

She turned to face him. "Stop speaking that nonsense. "Don't think of me to the same old weak Tania who was unable to take care of herself. Now I am the queen of Draka." Her lips curled up. "Have some faith in your queen."

Eltanin wanted to really scold her but he ended up grinning at her. He was such a lovesick fool. Hopeless romantic. "Okay, but my queen has to promise me that she will take care of herself and won't go beyond normal limits. And that she wouldn't fly anywhere other than the palace premise."

Tania sighed. "Okay…"

Loving this tiny victory against his queen, he intertwined his fingers with her and together they walked inside. It was easier to take care of a kingdom, but women, wives… They were a mystery and threw challenges at every step.

Felis was in the middle of the forest. Everything was going well. There was not a single injury. Though the armor was protecting them all, he was extra cautious. He was leading his men efficiently. He stopped after five hours and so did his men. None of them broke the single line and kept absolutely quiet. He opened his mind link with them. 'If any one of you is hungry, don't hunt.' f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

'Yes, Alpha.'

He scanned his surroundings. He could feel as if someone was watching him. The trees would occasionally throw a branch towards him as if to sense his presence, but the branches would hit the armor and wince back. After fifteen minutes, he started running all over again and his Nyxers came after him.

They ran through the night following the same pattern. Felis was satisfied that they were going to cross the Ivory Forest without any casualty when a loud blood curdling sound came from behind. He knew what it was. A Nyxer was getting attacked by a tree. Immediately, he opened his mind link. 'Do not stop. Move forward. No one stops. Do you listen?'

Every Nyxer shuddered hearing the shriek, but they couldn't even turn back to see what was happening to him. They continued on their journey. The forest grew so dark that it was impossible to look ahead even with their enhanced vision. It was the scent of their Alpha that they followed closely.

By the time, Felis reached the end of the Ivory Forest, near the Cetus, he had lost two of his Nyxers, but it was a sacrifice he was ready to give. He had calculated ten steps ahead for the

As soon as his men surrounded him, he said, 'Shift.'
