The Alpha's Temptation

The Hydra Kingdom was rife with activity. The blacksmiths were working extra hours to forge swords, hammers, spears and arrows for the army. Special helmets were made that would stop the force of arrows or other weapons to pierce through them. Large shields with double the thickness were created for the army that was on foot and special armors were made that had way too many pockets to hide daggers and knives and other small forms of weaponry that could be used in case all the weapons were exhausted.

Felis went to his underground workshop where the blacksmiths were in action. He was feeling restless but was satisfied with all the work that was going on over there. He had been preparing for this war from ages but over the last one month, he had propelled the preparations.

He had specially designed armors for himself and his commanders and Alphard. He looked at everything and helped a blacksmith with hammering hot iron. The red sparks of the fire in the pit mirrored his mind and energy.

pAn,Da-n0v e1,c,m At night his army gathered in the fields before River Eridani. He was getting ready for the battle. His servants were helping him put on his armor. His eyes went to a display of weapons that he was going to hide in his armor and he felt that if everything failed, his wolf was going to kill Eltanin.

He was sure that Eltanin was going to unleash his beast in the battle and that was what he was looking forward to. He was going to cast his dark magic over the beast and control it. And that was his target. To reach Eltanin through the mayhem.

"Your Highness," his guards at the doors announced. "Princess Morava wants an audience with you."

He gritted his teeth. She was the last woman he wanted to see. He was focusing on his war strategy and she came like the pest she was. No wonder that Eltanin didn't marry her or for that matter any other prince of Araniea. She fitted well in her role of being a mate to ten Alphas. He was hearing the tales from the guards that the two Alphas who were saving themselves for Princess Lerna were no longer waiting. They had joined the other ten and were now fucking Morava. Bloody greedy wench!

"Send her in!" he grated.

Morava came inside and bowed to him. "King Felis," she said with a sad expression on her face. "I know that I won't be seeing you soon. That is why I was thinking if I can come with you and participate in the war. You would need my knowledge when you enter Pegasii."

"You want me to take you for the battle?" he scoffed. Without turning to even look at her, he scowled and said, "Do I look like a fool to you that I am going to cater to your demands as a princess while I am fighting with the enemy out there?" He imagined her ordering his soldiers around for her comfort rather than helping him out. "You will be an extra baggage to me. So, enjoy with the Alphas till it lasts. Now that Princess Lerna is not here, they will have fun with you till you are able to entice them. Since now they are under no compulsion to produce an heir because Lerna is already married to Prince Rigel, they won't even stick to you."

Morava's eyes widened as horror surged through her. Did it mean that the Alphas were going to toss her away?

"Don't worry much," Felis said, looking at her pale face. "Since they have mated with you, they won't disown you since you are mated to them, but they will have more women in their harem." He turned to look at her. "So in my opinion, instead of focusing on the war, focus on your life ahead. Plan out for that. Leave the war to me and my men. You are nothing but just a toy for my Alphas. Those Alphas are also useless to me now. They are just guests and I might not keep them any longer."

Morava was petrified. Her mind went numb. Was she going to be degraded from her position of being a princess also?

"So get out and leave me alone!" Felis snarled.

Morava's lips trembled. She couldn't imagine the Alphas cheating on her. She turned and fled to her quarters.

Felis smirked and then turned back to his servants. "Continue!" He ordered them.

When he was ready, he marched out of his palace. He mounted his horse and along with the commanders, he rode to the fields where his army was waiting. His chest swelled with pride when he looked at the full force he had. There were thousands of Nyxers at his discretion. He was going to ask them all to attack Aquila in one go. Aquila was a small kingdom and Felis was sure that it would hardly take a few hours to get Aquila at his feet.

Along with his commanders, he was standing on a peak of a hill. He lifted the plate of his helmet. From there he addressed his men. "Tonight we will cross the border of Hydra and go into Aquila. I want all of you to do your best. Aquila is small and I want it conquered before the morning sun rises! Can you do that for me?" he roared.

The whole army shouted, "Yes! May victory be ours! May the moon never set on the kingdom of Hydra!"

A smile spread on his lips. He snapped the plate back in its place and roared. "March!"

With cheers and shouts and roars and howls, the army turned and began its march on the Kingdom of Aquila. His commanders that were with him, increased the pace of their horses and then joined their units.

Felis stayed in the center of his army. He wasn't going to meet Aquila head-on. He was sure that half his men were more than enough to crush Aquila. But what happened next wasn't what he expected. At all.
