The Alpha's Temptation

Chapter 257 Where To Go?

Eltanin wiped her tears and nodded, unable to speak anything after that. He cupped Tania's cheeks and stared at her for a long moment, filling his eyes with her beautiful features, with the span of her beautiful wings, her flushed face and the sense of joy and freedom that was written all over her face.

He bent down and kissed her eyes, her nose and then her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he lifted her by wrapping one arm across her waist. She opened up to him like a flower and moaned when he wrapped his tongue around hers.

A titter from the side broke their kiss. Tania gasped and pursed her lips as she buried her face in his chest. He curled his arms around her immediately. She retracted her wings back and realized that they weren't hurting her back anymore. It all felt too natural.

,m "Well that was lovely!" Kinshra said as she folded her wings behind her back. There was a grin on her face. She walked near them along with Anastasia. "You've done it, Lusitania!" she said as her chest filled with pride.

Tania pulled away from Eltanin. She hugged her mother and then Anastasia. "I couldn't have done it without you," she said, her cheeks becoming pinker than ever. "You have endured my tantrums so much!"

Though Kinshra knew this wasn't the end of her tantrums, at least she was feeling lighter. She didn't know how long it would take for the magic to weigh back upon Tania on the inside. The best part of the flight was that she didn't spill any of her magic. She controlled it pretty well. Kinshra extended her hand to her and said, "Come, we have to start with our final journey to Draka!"

Tania held her hand and then grabbed Anastasia's hand too. The three walked hand-in-hand to their make-shift tent with Eltanin following them.

"Will you be able to come with us?" asked Tania to Anastasia as they traversed through the grass and snow covered land.

Anastasia pursed her lips. She was in two minds. "I don't know," she replied, gazing far in the distance. She had stayed away from her children for a very long time. "I feel like going and meeting my kids!"

Tania wasn't a mother, but she could understand the yearning that Anastasia had for her children. She curled her arm around her mother and said, "I understand..." She was glad that her mother was coming with her. He leaned over her mother and kissed her temple. "I love you!" she said and smiled.

Anastasia was a little amazed at her daughter's sudden outburst of love, but she loved it nonetheless. "I love you, too!" She kissed her back.

When they reached the tent, they found Biham and Lord Krail in a heated argument over where to go first. Draka or Pegasii? Ileus was munching on a piece of dried meat that Flora had given him looking totally bored.

"It would be better to go to Pegasii!" Biham said. "I haven't been to Pegasii in a long time. My General is still looking after all the important jobs of the kingdom." He peeked at Kinshra who had just entered the tent. She was the main reason why he wanted to go to Pegasii. He wanted to give her back the same old room and then share some quality time with her. He desired to spend some alone-time with her.

"But I have to go to Draka," Eltanin remarked. "Father has been looking after the kingdom for a long time." He wanted to be with his wife. Alone.

Biham narrowed his eyes at Eltanin. "Why don't we do one thing?"

"What?" Eltanin asked dryly, sitting beside Ileus who offered him another piece of dried fish.

"You can go to Draka along with Lusitania and I will go to Pegasii with Kinsh--" he checked himself. "I mean with Lord and Lady Krail and Kinshra."

Anastasia couldn't help herself but let out a loud laugh. It was funny to see how the two kings wanted to be with their respective mates. "Poor Lord and Lady Krail," she tsked. "Why don't you two come with us to Draoidh?"

Lord Krail's face became red. Not with anger, but with awkwardness. He felt like a third wheel in between two kings of Araniea.

"You cannot forget the reason why they are traveling to Pegasii," Ileus said in aid of Lord Krail. Lord Krail had apprised him of his purpose of traveling with Lusitania. "Amidst all this drama, there is Menkar and Felis to be dealt with."

That sentence calmed Lord Krail and dispelled his awkwardness. Tania came up to her grandfather from behind. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Our dear Lord Krail will come to Draka with me."

Lord Krail was... overjoyed. He never in his dreams thought that his grandchild would be so affectionate. And to think of it that he didn't allow her to get in Vilinski when she was born, made him feel guilty as hell. His eyes burned with tears that he blinked away. He rubbed his chest as a warm feeling suffused it. "So it's decided. I will be going to Draka along with Jiada."

"May I also speak, m'lady," Flora said meekly.

"Before you speak anything, Flora," Tania said very loudly. "You are also coming to Draka with me!"

Flora was stunned. She snapped her mouth shut as she looked at Tania with wide eyes and love. "As you like it, m'lady," she replied patiently but she was bubbling with joy on the inside. She wanted to be with the young lady of the House of Kral.

"So, what was your question?" Kinshra asked, raising her eyebrow.

Flora opened her mouth and then closed it like a fish out of water. "What would you like, Lady Kinshra?" she asked glibly.

Kinshra sighed with a smile. She knew that Flora was excited about Tania. "Give me the rabbit stew." In her own way, she allowed Flora to go with Tania.

"I have also decided something!" Anastasia announced.
