The Alpha's Temptation

Biham had gone not too far from the palace along with Kinshra when he felt on an instinct that the palace was under attack. He froze as a shudder passed through him and goosebumps lined his skin. The tattoo on his chest moved and he could feel the agitation of the spirit of Pegasii.

He looked up and saw that Kinshra was flying with Flora. "Kinshraa!" he called her. She looked down and realized that there was a problem. Immediately, she shot down and came to stand with him in the chariot. "I can feel--" he said, dazed. "I can feel that the spirit of Pegasii is in danger."

Kinshra's brows bunched. "Then we must go back to the palace, Biham," she suggested. "Eltanin and Rigel are taking care of the battle along with the faes."

"Yes," he gulped, unable to understand the agitation of his nerves and the spirit of Pegasii. He opened his mind link with all his soldiers and asked those in the palace about the situation. When they confirmed his doubts, Biham turned his chariot around and headed towards the palace.

"What is it, Biham?" Kinshra asked as she grasped the rail of the chariot.

"Felis has attacked us along with the monks!"

Kinshra was stunned into silence. She never expected that Felis would attack the palace. "The girls are there!" she murmured. "Goddess!" Panic flooded her when she thought about Tania and Lerna. "Please hurry up!" She was going to kill Felis if he laid a hand on her daughter.

They rode back to the palace in silence as Flora flew above them. She was wondering what happened in such a short time, but the moment she saw what was happening in the palace, she came to land on the front stairs instantly.

Kinshra didn't wait for Biham to come and rushed inside. The place was in complete mayhem. Servants were running here and there, screaming. They were injured and some were even lying dead or half dead. Through all of this, she rushed to the room where Tania was.

Felis was running towards the north wing. He wanted to get there as fast as possible. He had to kill Biham and Kinshra. So along with a dozen monks he headed towards their rooms. However, he hadn't gone too far when he came across Lerna.

Felis was urgently heading to the north wing but the moment he saw Lerna, he stopped. His chest vibrated with a dangerous rumble. "You!" he growled. Every monk and Nyxer stopped behind him. His chest was heaving heavily as anger surged in him. "I didn't know that I would see you here, but am I glad?" Slowly, he walked towards her. "After taking over Pegasii, Orion would have been my next conquest. I heard that you are Rigel's mate. If I kill you, won't Rigel follow you to the fade?" he hissed. "Because of your betrayal, my plans were washed down. Because of Rigel's infiltration in Hydra and taking you away from under my nose, I suffered so much humiliation. Time has come that I teach you a lesson!"

Lerna was dressed in armor. She swung the sword in her hand as she glared at him. "Yes brother, time has come that I teach you a lesson. You wanted to throw me in the hands of twelve Alphas. You wanted to turn me into a breeding machine without thinking what would happen to me. You were never interested in my well-being. What kind of a sick brother you are? Your lust for power has overcome your emotions. Relationships are nothing but opportunities of trade or--"

"Shut up!" he yelled. "You were supposed to be loyal to the kingdom. You should have offered yourself for the benefit of the kingdom, but you--" his chest rose and fell. "You chose to defy my orders and run away. You chose to betray me and the kingdom. I am going to kill you and take revenge!" Felis lunged at her with his sword. Seeing the sword in her hand, he scoffed.

Lerna had been practicing hard in her kingdom along with Rigel in sword-fight. She stopped Felis with her sword. Felis was shocked. He never expected Lerna to be able to stop him. However, he was the Alpha and a very powerful and clever king. He pushed her and shouted at the monks. "Seize her!" He never wanted to kill her. Instead he was going to take her back to Hydra and throw her in front of the Alphas. That would be her ultimate punishment.

The monks were all bound by blood oath to Kaitos and because Kaitos was bound to Felis by it, they had to obey his orders.

Together they called their dark magic as they started chanting spells. "Uvhah je! Uvhah je!" dark smoke swirled like mist around their hands and thickened as if it was curdling. When it had thickened a lot, one of them shouted, "Now!"

Felis dodged Lerna's attack and tumbled to the ground as soon as he heard them. Lerna snapped her head up to see the monks.

They all hurled the magic towards Lerna and she dove to the right as smoky tendrils whipped towards her at the speed of an asp. However, before the magic could hit her, a white beam curled around it at the end. The monks jolted as the bean traveled through the smoky tendrils and hit them sharply.

They shrieked as pain lashed through them and their magic retreated.

"Kill her!" Felis's order came again.

The monks didn't know what was happening but they brought forward their dark magic again. This time, the dozen of them stood in a line and hurled it towards Lerna whose hazy body they could see through all the smoke. But their magic was soon arrested by some very powerful magic.

White wings rose from the smoke higher and higher.

They were aghast as their eyes landed on the fae with white wings.

Lusitania.

Her eyes had become deep purple as she chanted the spell. The beam of white magic was coiled around her hands. She was glaring at them as her giant wings flapped in the air.
