The Alpha's Temptation

Felis pulled Kaitos inside the moment the servant left and closed the door. He made him sit on the chair and ordered his men to keep a watch on him.

Kaitos waited with patience for his monks to arrive. His monks knew some dark magic but none were as powerful as Felis. However, their collective magic could be of help and a strong force against Felis. He hoped that they all worked in sync with each other and used their magic to defeat Felis and kill his Nyxers.

After an excruciating wait of twenty minutes he heard heavy footsteps of the monks who gathered outside his bedchamber. Once again, he tried to contact them via his mind link but the barrier still existed. He couldn't get past through it. He clenched his jaws as he looked at Felis with hatred.

Felis became cautious the moment the monks gathered over there. He said, "Ask three of your head monks to come inside. I want to talk to them."

Kaitos sneered. "If you are thinking that they haven't as yet understood as to what is happening inside, then you are a fool."

Felis strode towards and slapped him hard on his face. Kaitos fell on the ground with the chair. A Nyxer came and made him sit back on the chair. Felis growled, "I am not asking you to comment. Call your head monks. Now!" He grabbed him by his arm and pulled him up. He dragged him to the main door and opened it slightly. Even as Kaitos resisted, Felis grabbed the back of his head and pushed it outside the small gap of the floor. "Now call them!"

When Kaitos resisted, Felis took his dagger out and pierced it in his shoulder blade. "I am going to twist it slowly until you shriek and they come in for your rescue. And then my Nyxers are going to kill them one by one. So don't waste my time and yours and call them inside."

Kaitos knew that he was dealing with a lunatic. He looked at his monks and nodded at those who were standing in the front. They looked at him with suspicion. They stared at him for a few seconds, hoping to connect with him through the mind link, but a thick and dark barrier was stopping them. Not being able to speak with their High Priest, the three head monks walked slowly to the door.

"How can we help you?" said one of them. "Is everything fine, m'lord?"

Kaitos gave them a tight nod. He stepped aside to allow them to enter but before he did that, he signaled them with his eyes to use their magic. Immediately the monks called upon their dark magic. As soon as their magic curled down into their fingers, they clasped their fingers at the back and stepped inside one by one. Their eyes fell on the Nyxers. Horrified, they gasped but instantly hurled their magic towards the Nyxers. The dark smoke that rippled towards them was met with a stronger magic that killed their dark magic almost immediately. It was as if it was a child's play. The next moment the Nyxers came on their neck with their daggers.

"Don't move, else I won't hesitate to command my men to kill you!" Felis snarled as he came to stand in front of them.

The monks looked at Kaitos who looked pale with fear in their eyes. Blood was flowing out from his shoulder with Felis's dagger still inside his flesh. Felis pulled out his dagger and Kaitos slumped in his chair, his white nightdress soaked in blood.

"Now listen to me," Felis said as he circled the monks. "You will be commanding all your men to work for me. If you hesitate, I will not just stop at killing you, I will create a rampage in this monastery and within a few minutes, along with my Nyxers, I will massacre every one of you. Not a single person, man, woman or child will be left. Do not try to show your magic to me because I am much faster and stronger than you all are!"

"But you can't force us to work with you!" said one of the monks. "You don't know what you are dealing with! We are a power than can annihilate—" Before he could complete his sentence, Felis sliced his neck with his dagger. The monk fell to the floor, making gurgling sounds as he looked at Kaitos for help.

"Don't you dare to threaten me!" Felis snarled and stabbed him once more, killing him on the spot. Others stared at him with pure horror. Felis snapped his head to them, his eyes giving a wild look. "Make them yield to me. Is that clear?"

The monks were terrified. They looked at Kaitos who shook his head, but Felis was so enraged at his resistance that he picked up a flower vase from the side table and crashed it on his head. Kaitos lost consciousness. Felis now knew that he had complete control over the Cetus Monastery. He had instilled fear in the monks. And these were people who had never fought, nor were they prepared of such contingencies.

In the next half an hour, Felis was standing in front of five more monks, narrating his plan. "I will take you all to the border of the Pegasii Kingdom. You have to collectively use your magic against the faes over there and kill them one by one!"

"But why will the faes come to us? Surely, they wouldn't want to be killed!" one of the pointed out.

"They will," Felis replied coldly, glancing at Kaitos who had stirred a little. "I will send a message to them with his seal."

The monks realized the horror of his plan. They shuddered when Felis gestured to his men to pull up Kaitos.

One of the Nyxers splashed water over him and Kaitos fluttered open his eyes, with a headache pounding. He saw Felis furiously writing a message on a scroll on his desk. When he was finished, he came to Kaitos. Holding the paper in front of him, he said, "Sign."

When Kaitos read the message, he shuddered. "This is—"

"Sign!"

The message was to ask King Biham to extend help to Cetus by sending his faes. If the faes entered Cetus, they would be practically walking to their doom.
