The Alpha's Temptation

Fafnir's face split into a wide grin. In the morning he had asked Eltanin to officiate his wedding and send a message to King Rigel to ask for the hand of princess Tabit. Fafnir couldn't think of anyone else other than Eltanin because ever since he was a young child, he had always considered Eltanin as his big brother. His father had left him and it was Alpha Alrakis who had raised him. Eltanin was practically his family.

And Eltanin understood Fafnir's emotions. How could he deny it? He had sent a message to Rigel the same day. However, he received a message by the evening that Rigel was coming to visit him on an urgent basis.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 Tabit was thrilled. Even though she had lowered her head feeling shy, her heart was racing. She was going to get married to her mate by the next full moon.

After a few more important talks, they both bowed to the king and walked out of the meeting chamber. As they were going back to their bedroom, she wondered where she would be sleeping now: in his room or hers. "I wanted to meet Tania!" she blurted. "It is very important!"

Fafnir frowned. He was hoping to spend time alone with his betrothed but she wanted to meet Tania? He pursed his lips, not liking it at all. He had been away from her for the whole day. "Can you meet her later? I want to discuss a few things with you."

Tabit wanted to ask so many questions to Tania, and she didn't trust herself. She was sure that if she spent another day with him, she would end up beneath him and not because Fafnir would want it, but because she was dying to be there. "I want to meet her only for a few minutes?"

Fafnir was deflated, but he said, "Okay, I will wait for you in your bedroom."

Tabit's lips curled up. She pressed a kiss on his cheek and rushed to meet Tania. As soon as she entered her room, she squealed and said, "Fafnir proposed to me!"

Tania was reading a document at the table and she snapped her head towards Tabit, her face full of surprise. "Already?"

"Yes!" Tabit exclaimed and showed her the ring.

"Calaman's horns! That is a huge diamond!" Tania got up from the chair and came to see the ring. "I haven't seen a diamond that big on a ring."

Tabit giggled. "Yes, I asked him to give me a diamond ring."

Tania placed her hands on Tabit's shoulders and with a smile said, "I am so happy for you, Tabit." She hugged her and squeezed her. "Let me know how I can help you in anything you want?"

When she pulled, Tabit said, "Tania, you have to help me with everything! My wedding gown, the wedding venue and, and so many other things." Her excitement was over the top.

Tania laughed. "Of course, I will!"

The two girls talked for a long time and when Tabit reached her bedchamber, she found an angry General who was pacing the room. It took only a few minutes for Tabit to coax him and soon both of them were kissing hungrily on the bed. Fafnir couldn't help but trap her beneath his body, his muscles bulging. When they both pulled away from each other, he buried his face in her neck. "I can't stay without you," he murmured against her skin as he grazed her pulsepoint.

She whimpered in response. Delicious shivers ran down her body. "Nor can I," she said. "But I wanted to tell you something, General Fafnir."

He picked his head up and gazed in her eyes. "What is it?"

Tabit sucked in a sharp breath of air. She could feel his engorged cock against her thighs and she knew that he wanted to take her right now. She cupped his cheeks. "I want to gift you my virginity on our wedding day."

Fafnir's lips parted as surprise and respect for his mate flickered in his eyes and manifested on his face. A few moments later he leaned down and kissed her cheeks. "Then I will do as you say. I won't demand anything till we get married. But when we are married--"

She cut him off, "Then you can take me any number of times!"

A growl emanated from his chest and Fafnir crashed his lips on hers.

Rigel came to Draka two days later along with Lerna. Eltanin was waiting for him. Rigel didn't have the time to freshen up. They headed to the meeting chamber where other courtiers were present while Lerna went to meet Tabit and Tania.

Lerna held Tabit's hands and squeezed them. "We both will get married on the full moon!"

Tabit bobbed her head like a bobblehead monkey. "Yes!"

The three girls squealed and laughed and talked and talked till it was evening while the men were busy in the meetings.

In the night after dinner, when the three couples were settling for wine in Eltanin's chamber, Rigel hugged his sister. "Are you happy?" he asked her. He was filled in the details by Eltanin.

"I am, brother," she replied.

"Eltanin and I have decided that both of us will get married on the same day."

A blush rose on her cheeks. "Thank you, Rigel!"

Rigel kissed the crown of her head. "There is nothing to thank me, Tabit. I am so happy to see you getting settled. Only if Meissa had your wisdom..."

"She chose her path, Rigel," Tabit said. "No one forced her and I am sure she knew the consequences, but she never gave importance to them because she thought her plan would never fail."

"I know..." Rigel went to sit near Lerna. "Mother is also fragile these days..."
