The Alpha's Temptation

Chapter 247 Traveling Back

Chapter 247 Traveling Back

Morava shrugged as she sipped more tea. The tea helped her calm down her nerves, but she would occasionally shudder as the thought of how she was taken again and again by the Alphas. "How would I know?" she said. "I was in the dungeons."

Alphard scratched his brows as he tried to process the information. "Can you elaborate a little more?" Lusitania was Morava's sister? The news was simply too much to comprehend. Then where was she all these years?

Morava looked far in the distance outside her window. There was a heavy blizzard going on. It hadn't stopped ever since she had come. "Lusitania was a slave in the Cetus Monastery and her master was the High Priest, Menkar." Without glancing at Alphard, she continued to narrate the story right from the beginning. However, she stopped somewhere in the middle and snapped her gaze at him. He was listening very attentively to her. "I will continue with the rest of the story in King Felis's presence."

Alphard grew tense. "You can trust me as much as you can trust the king. I will tell him everything that you told me."

Morava shook her head. "No, I want to talk to the king."

A soft knock on the door made them stop. A guard announced. "Two Alphas are coming this way, m'lord."

Morava's expression turned panicky. Her hands started shaking. "No," she rasped and turned to look at Alphard as if appealing to him silently to save her. But Alphard just shrugged.

"I can't help you with them," he said. "They are different and only listen to the king. And now that you are mated, you have to listen to them." He rose on his feet and walked to the door. Morava had given him enough information about Lusitania in one hour that he sat with her. Even if she chose to tell Felis the rest of it, he was sure that it wouldn't be of much consequence. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two Alphas coming. They growled when they saw Alphard.

"What were you doing alone with her?" asked the older one, peeling his lips back and showing his fangs.

Alphard snickered. "I was asking her about Pegasii." Then he passed a sarcastic remark. "Unlike some favored men, I have my job to do!" Saying that he bumped into one of the Alpha and walked away. He wanted the Alphas to come after him so that he would also vent his frustration out with the fight, but he saw how hard they were. They just went inside the bedchamber with a growl. Morava was in for a grueling day. He scoffed at them and strode to his room.

With all the information in his hand, Alphard was feeling... excited. He paced his room, making one strategy after another. But one thing was sure--he had to increase his vigilance at the borders. His guards were unable to find Lerna and that had increased the pressure on him. However, now he was curious to see who Lusitania was.

If Morava was correct, then Lusitania was a half fae. "Calaman's horns!" he muttered. What if he got hold of this girl and kidnap her and bring her to Hydra? While Princess Morava would satiate the Alphas, he would claim Lusitania. The thought made a shudder pass through him. What would their children look like? The thought was enough to send shivers down his body. He walked to the door and gave an order to his men, "Get the leaders of all army units for a meeting with me in an hour!" The first thing that he was going to do was to catch Lusitania and snatch her away from King Eltanin. How did that bastard get hold of everything good in his life faster than anyone else? He gritted his teeth. If only Felis was able to leash his beast, Lusitania would have been free for him.

Lord Krail was standing in the bailey of the castle. His son, Reyes, had come an hour back and he was looking at his extended family with curiosity. He was especially intrigued by his niece, Lusitania. In just an hour, he found her to be an adorable child.

"I can't believe Kinshra," Reyes said to his sister. "That your girl would be even more beautiful than you! Surely, werewolf genes have done wonders with her features."

Kinshra swatted his arm. "She looks like me!"

"Nope!" Reyes said, shaking his head firmly.

When Kinshra introduced him to Lusitania and Eltanin, the first question Reyes asked was, "Have you shifted yet?" He knew that the werewolves shifted roundabout this age.

Tania's face flushed as she shook her head with embarrassment. "I haven't..." she said.

Reyes had scratched his neck. "It would be interesting to see you shifting."

"Reyes!" Lord Krail had called him rather irritated. He had rushed away from there after winking at Eltanin. He didn't talk to Biham at all. And Biham too was feeling awkward in the presence of his brother-in-law.

Right now they were all standing in front of a portal that Lord Krail had created. "I will be returning in a week or maybe two weeks. Make sure you don't leave Kral."

"Yes Father," Reyes bowed to him.

Lord Krail looked to his right where Biham was. Biham nodded and nudged his horse to the portal, glancing at Kinshra who was sitting on a mare and was right behind him. As soon as he stepped inside the portal, Kinshra followed him. Eltanin and Tania who were both on Wind were the next.

Lord Krail stepped in after them with Jiada. He had insisted Jiada be on the same horse as his even though she wanted to go on her own mare.

As soon as they stepped out, the portal collapsed and they found themselves near a creek in Sgiáth Bio. "All of us are going to stay together," said Lord Krail. He had sent a message to King Ian about their travel and the king had given them the permission to travel without coming to the capital. Ileus and Anastasia had returned to Draoidh. "Sgiáth Bio is dangerous!"
