The Alpha's Temptation

"The faes are here, m'lord," said the monk who Felis had sent to know about. "But they are camped outside Cetus and refuse to come inside our borders."

"Why?" Felis growled. If he had to go out of Kaitos's quarters, it meant that it could be dangerous. He wasn't sure that other monks would attack him. Though he was sure he was more powerful than them, he didn't want to spend his dark magic on them because it ultimately affected his body. He was going to spend it on his target.

The monk shrugged. "I don't know," he replied. "But they wanted to meet the High Priest. They are in a hurry and want to go back as soon as possible."

Felis gritted his teeth. He looked at Gamon and said, "Gather three monks for me. Along with Kaitos, you and I are going to go to the borders and attack the faes."

"But I have a doubt, Alpha," Brix intervened. "If we kill the faes, King Biham would become suspicious. He might end up sending his army. We have to think of a different way to combat the faes so that we can get to all other faes as well."

"I know," Felis replied through his clenched teeth. "Now you stay here and take charge of the situation while I go with Gamon and take care of the faes."

"Yes Alpha!" Bris said, taking in a deep breath.

Felis pulled Kaitos up to his feet and shoved him towards the door. "Don't think of any tricks, Kaitos," he growled. "My men won't hesitate in killing your people and they would do so in the blink of an eye."

The monk who had brought the message was caught hold of by Gamon. He pushed the monk out of the door. "Get three of your best monks who know dark magic!"

The monk gulped. He walked out of the door and pointed at three monks. When Kaitos came out with Felis holding a dagger on his neck, all the monks who were standing out, gasped and a murmur broke.

"I am Felis, king of Hydra Kingdom! If any of you try to act smart with me, I will take a minute to annihilate all of you. Is that clear?" Felis snarled.

The monks were petrified. They had never in their imagination thought that King Felis would come to Cetus and take over it.

Three monks were picked from the group. Along with the monks, Felis, Gamon and Kaitos started their journey towards the border of Cetus. It wasn't a long walk to the border.

"I am going to use my dark magic to control them," said Felis. "And you all will be helping me."

"Faes aren't easy to control with just dark magic!" Kaitos snapped. "You are going towards your doom!"

"Quiet!" Felis shouted. "What do you know about it? The last High Priest of Cetus Monastery was able to control a fae with his dark magic. You don't know anything!" He was referring to Kinshra whom Menkar was able to control using his dark magic. "Just do what I ask you to."

As soon as they reached the periphery of Cetus, they could see two white tents erected in the midst of a clearing. The two faes were sitting outside, talking to each other while having food.

Along with Kaitos, Felis rushed to hide in a thicket on the left of the clearing while Gamon took the other four monks to a wide bush on the right. They hid behind it and waited for Felis's signal.

Felis was crouching behind a thick tree. He said, "I am casting a spell on them. Hold my hand and call your magic to collaborate with mine."

Kaitos clenched his fists. "It's better if you kill me!"

Felis narrowed his eyes. "You know that I won't stop at killing you! Now do as I say!" He was losing patience.

He opened his mind link with Gamon and asked him to order the monks to cast the spell he recited in his mind. 'Tell them to be ready with their magic.' When he got the confirmation from Gamon that all were ready, he chanted, "Tolirovat ikh!"

Along with Kaitos's magic, his magic intermingled. It hurled down his arms and he shot it at the fae on the left. At the same time, the monks too chanted the same spell and shot their magic on the fae on the right.

As soon as the black streams of magic hit the faes, they both stilled in their places. Their eyes widened and their expressions became blank.

Felis scoffed. The faes were under his control now. He walked to them fearlessly and called Gamon and others over there.

"What do you propose to do now?" asked Gamon as Kaitos watched the faes with surprise.

"What have you done to them?" he asked, looking at the two stunned faes.

Felis spat blood on the ground and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Dark magic had repercussions. "Now these two are in my control," he smirked. He leaned over to them and whispered, "You both are going to go back to the Pegasii Kingdom and kill every fae that is present over there, including Lady Kinshra."

The faes nodded in tandem. The next moment they flared their wings wide and shot high in the air. Felis watched them go with the satisfaction of first victory in his chest.

Kaitos was horrified. "This is all wrong!" he rasped. "You are committing a heinous crime."

Felis let out a laugh that didn't reach his eyes. "This is just the beginning."

He pushed Kaitos back to the monastery. He knew that the two faes will do his work without fail and he didn't even have to go to Pegasii. When he reached back the monastery, he ordered Brix, "Go back and ask the Nyxers to be on a standby along the Pegasii borders. We will be attacking them the day after tomorrow." Because that was the minimum time needed for the faes to kill. Even if a few faes were killed, his work was done. It was to create mayhem in Pegasii of which he would take full advantage.
