The Alpha's Temptation

Chapter 471 Morava's Punishment



For a moment Eltanin was shocked. Morava was in so much pain, yet all she thought about was killing Lusitania. Shock got replaced with anger and his fangs lengthened.

"This is what she keeps saying all the time..." Henk said, lowering his head. He took a deep breath in. "But trust me Draka King, we are hardly bothered about what she says. We could have killed her long back, but the Alphas decided to keep her alive. They want to torture her. She is responsible for the downfall of the Alphas. Not that we liked her. But she schemed in a way that all of us ended up fighting with each other and only... five..." his throat choked with emotions. "Only five remained..."

Eltanin clenched his teeth hard. He padded to Morava. With his claws and fangs elongated, he had this strong urge to rip off her head. "Morava," he growled.

"Be careful," Fafnir said and went to stand behind Eltanin. Though Morava couldn't do anything, he was going to kill her even if she tried to spit on his king.

She groaned in pain. "Lusitania..."

"Morava!" Eltanin said in a louder voice.

This time she fluttered open her eyes with difficulty. When her gaze landed on him, she opened her eyes wider. "Are you King Eltanin?" she asked, licking her dry and cracked lips. "Or am I dreaming?"

"I am Eltanin," he said, confirming her doubts.

She became quiet for a long time as she assessed him. "King of Draka..." she said in a low, shaky voice. "You have finally come to meet me. I knew... I knew that Lusitania had betrayed you... Take me away from here... Please." She pleaded with him. "If-- if you marry me, I-- I will make you happy..." She started panting after speaking so much. Her throat and her stomach hurt. She tried to pull against her shackles but she couldn't. "Free me!" she growled. "Free me!"

Eltanin was disgusted. The woman was deranged. She was beyond repair and beyond logic. His claws and fangs retracted. He pitied her now. "You can't be helped, Morava," he said and stepped back.

"Don't-- don't go!" she cried. "Please take me from here. I am ready to be your servant but-- but take me from here. I also have to k-- kill Lusitania. She-- she is responsible for my downfall. When I escaped from the dungeons, I had gone to Pegasii but-- but I was abducted by the Alphas." She shook her head. "I don't know why..."

"You were abducted by the Alphas, but they married you, didn't they?" Eltanin said, narrowing his eyes. "And what did you do to them?"

"I married them? No! Felis forced me to mate with them. And when he died, they-- they started rejecting me."

"Yes, we started rejecting you Morava, but do you why?" Henk snapped. "Because you didn't want to have our heirs. Because you wanted to run away using us. Because you started the war between Alphas by misguiding us!"

She flinched. "You are a bastard!" she shouted as high as she could and yet it came out as a squeak. She turned her gaze to Eltanin. "Please help me get out of here, King Eltanin. I want to meet my father and I want to meet that bitch, Lusitania because of whom my whole life changed. Had she not come into my life, I would have become the queen of Draka. Then I wouldn't have faced these miseries."

Eltanin closed his eyes. He took a step back, ready to leave. Before leaving he said, "Morava, I don't know whether you have met your right punishment or not, but let me inform you, your father, King Biham has gone to the Fade and so has his mate, Lady Kinshra. And I would have never made you my queen."

Morava appeared surprised. "How?"

His brows furrowed. "I thought you knew. Felis killed Biham."

A smile came to her lips. "Really? Felis killed my father? Goddess. That is music to my ears. Did he kill Lusitania also?"

Eltanin wasn't surprised to see her reaction. The woman was full of poison. He looked at Fafnir and nodded. Then he said to Henk, "We have no intention of taking her back. She is of no use to us. You can keep her here for as long as you want. However, if I come to know that you have freed her, I will seal the Hydra Kingdom once and for all. She is the most dangerous woman of Araniea and she doesn't deserve freedom!"

"What? No!" Morava shouted. "You can't do that to me! I-- I am the princess of Pegasii! I demand my kingdom!"

"You will never get it," said Eltanin in a firm voice. "And I think I will change my mind now." He glanced at the faes who had come with him. They nodded.

Fafnir stepped back and said to everyone in the prison. "Please get out of the prison now!"

When the guards and Henk saw magic crackling at the fingertips of the faes, they rushed out.

"What are you doing?" Morava asked, her eyes wide in horror.

Eltanin gave her one last look and walked out of the prison. He closed the prison and signaled the faes.

"Noooo!" Morava shouted, guessing what was going on. "No, you can't!"

The faes hurled the magic towards the prison. White lights swirled in the air and wrapped around it, sealing the place forever. People could see Morava, but she couldn't see anyone. This was Eltanin's punishment to Morava dedicated to his wife and her parents.

Morava screamed from inside. "Noooo! Free me. You can't do this. You can't seal me. I have to kill. I have to take revenge. Lusitania is responsible. She-- started it all!"

They all started to leave the place, most of them too scared to even look back. All at once they heard a thud. The faes had released her from the shackles. She was last seen crawling towards the iron bars. Electricity sizzled, burning her skin. She shrieked in pain. "Save meeee!" Her voice drowned in wails.
