The Alpha's Temptation

Chapter 152 A Beautiful Melody



Chapter 152 A Beautiful Melody

Izo left the dining hall saying, "Meet me in the councilors rooms, Taiyi, in an hour."

As soon as he left, Nerina also strode out of the hall. The tension in the room lifted like fog in sunlight. Taiyi smiled at Lusitania and Eltanin. She waved at them to sit and have their food as the activity returned to normal. The servants started hurrying up with food and other items.

"You didn't tell me that you had already married her?" Taiyi chided her son affectionately. "I was planning on having you get married here."

Eltanin lips curved up into a mischievous smile. "Well, I won't stop you from having us get married here now, would I?"

In the cave when he had mated with Tania, he had said that he wanted to marry her and had wanted to make her his in every possible way. There is when he had presented her this ring.

Taiyi frowned. "Are you sure you want to marry her all over again?"

"Of course!" Eltanin replied. "I would get married to Lusitania any number of times if that is what strengthens our bond."

Tania blushed heavily and clasped her hands in her lap as Taiyi tipped her head back and laughed.

"Why do I feel that you both are up to something?" Taiyo said with a grin. She loved the way her son was doting on Lusitania.

"There's nothing, mother," he said with a shrug. "So, when does the ceremony of our wedding begin?"

Taiyi served prawns for herself. "Tomorrow morning when the first star glitters in the sky, we will go to the temple of Fury."

Eltanin saw Fafnir from his peripheral vision. He was now walking towards them. He bowed to the queen and then sat opposite to Eltanin. "You've been quite adventurous!" he quipped. "King Izo won't take it lightly."

"When has he taken things lightly, Fafnir?" Eltanin said as Tania watched in wonder.

"Wh— where's your tail?" she asked, her eyes wide as she stared at Fafnir with astonishment.

"I can shift into a merman, Princess Tania," Fafnir replied and then I can shift back into my human form."

Tania bit her lip for asking such a stupid question, but what could she do? She loved the tail. "Can I touch your tail next time you shift?" she asked.

Eltanin growled at her while others laughed.

"I won't say no to that," Fafnir said while laughing.

Taiyi finished her lunch quickly and then rushed to the councilors room. She stopped in her tracks and turned. "Tania, the ceremony will be simple, but you will be dressed in a bride's attire that is characteristic of Stourin."

When she exited the room, Fafnir congratulated them. "The king is going to flip when he hears that you have wedded again!"

"Let him," Eltanin said cockily.

"What about Nerina?" he asked.

"She must have gone back by now." Eltanin held Tania's hand and kissed her knuckles. He loved the way she pushed back to Izo. But internally he wondered if what she said was true or not. Could she actually raze down Stourin?

"Your attention is needed in one of the scuffles between two districts," said Fafnir. "I didn't want to disturb you, but the queen has far overlooked the scuffle as she was waiting for you to put an end to it."

Eltanin rolled his eyes. "These two factions are always fighting."

Fafnir chuckled. "As long as the Urzen and Lejedo don't come to terms with Fury being their main God, they will keep fighting. Urzen doesn't want to worship Fury anymore as they feel that Fury had betrayed their people a millennium back."

"Haven't they forgiven Fury for that? A millennium is a long time!" Eltanin asked as irritation laced his voice.

Fafnir shook his head. "Maybe they need a new God! I wish Princess Anastasia of Vilinski was here. She is practically a deity. Urzen could follow her."

"Why are Urzen so disgruntled about a God?" Tania asked as she buttered her bread. And who was Princess Anastasia? Was she a fae?

"They are a very ancient race," Fafnir explained. "Obviously they think that they are superior and need more favors from gods. They treat all others like scum."

"You are Urzen!" Eltanin pointed at Fafnir with his spoon. "So, don't speak as if you don't think like that."

Fafnir raised his hands up in the air. "I am from Araniea. I am the General of the Draka Kingdom. And I am half Urzen, so I don't share the same views because I don't care about them."

Tania was surprised to see how free Fafnir was when he talked to Eltanin in this world. It was like an entirely different facet. He was so uptight back in Draka.

"Why don't you come with us, Princess Tania?" Fafnir asked. "It would be a good change for you."

Tania rubbed her neck. "I want to sleep. I feel tired…"

"Yes, of course. You must be tired after the journey."

Their conversation steered towards other things and then Tania yawned. Eltanin watched her yawning like a wee kitten. He lifted her off the chair, as her cheeks became red. "What are you doing?" she whispered shyly, as she buried her face in his chest.

"Carrying you to our bedchamber," Eltanin replied shamelessly.

She heard servants giggling and she buried her face more into his chest. He carried her all the way to their bedchamber, in his arms. Tania noticed the tunnel through which he walked with her. They were all surrounded by aquatic life.

Their bedchamber was yet another beautiful room. Their bed was like a clam in the center of a room that seemed to be a bubble. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. On the ceiling, hung small orbs of light that imparted soft glow to the room. There were illuminating plants that swayed on the outside. Schools of fish would play hide and seek in them. As soon as Eltanin placed Tania on their bed and crawled over her, the clam closed around them gently. A small orb of light was trapped inside that threw dim light inside.

"This is beautiful," she remarked.

He laid on top of her, pressing her into the mattress. "You are beautiful…" he lowered his lips to hers and kissed her slowly, taking his time. When he pulled away, he said, "You were amazing back there." He kissed her eyes. "Now sleep. I want you to rest and before you wake up, I will be back."

She squirmed beneath him, her sex grinding his semi soft erection. "Okay…" she said and realized that his erection had grown hard rapidly. She swatted his arm. "You have work to do."

"Yes, a lot of it," he said as he cupped her sex. "I need to drive myself inside of you and that is a lot of work."

She blushed heavily. "Go away!"

"You better be naked when I return!" He tapped the clam twice and the shell opened.

She shook her head. Eltanin grabbed the sheets and pulled them up on her. "Sleep, love," he said, and then he was gone. The clam came back down, cocooning her in its warm embrace.

Tania wondered if she was dreaming when she heard a beautiful melody from a distance. She opened her eyes to the song. Every note rose to a passionate level and then dropped to a low octave.
