The Alpha's Temptation-Chapter 433 Reject Me And Go Back

Kinshra called all the faes to the palace as Biham gathered his top warriors. General Balfour informed him that the two faes had killed another fae in the village on the south. "They are getting out of hand!"

Biham rubbed his mouth with his hands as panic stabbed his heart. What the hell was happening? For the next few hours both Kinshra and Biham waited for the faes to gather. As soon as they gathered in the main hall, Kinshra said, "Ryne and Throm have gone rogue but they are doing it under the spell of dark magic." She decided to come straight to the point rather than creating stories around it and hide it.

A nervous murmur broke in the hall. Faes started to talk amongst themselves.

"I have called you all to make a decision. Do you want to go back to Vilinski because it can become very dangerous? Or do you want to stay back and help me with sending the rogues to Vilinski? If you choose to leave, I will not have any problems. If you wish to be with me, let me know because then I will discuss the strategy with you to get rid of these two."

The faes looked at each other. They knew that they had to make a quick decision. Only three decided to leave while the rest decided to stay and help her. They liked that she was forthright in telling them the main problem.

"All those who want to leave, please do so now," she said to them. "And the rest, kindly come to the meeting chamber." In the meeting chamber, she discussed her plan with them. "We have to chase them to Sgiáth Bio in order to limit their magic," she explained. Then she went on to chart out the whole plan in front of them.

According to her plan, the two faes were confined in a building on the outskirts of the capital by other faes. They built portal after portal around the building so that as soon as the rogues came out, they met with one of them and got sucked in.

General Balfour came with yet another news to Biham. "The last village on the south was burned and looted and all the men, women and children were killed!"

"What the fuck!" Biham roared. "What have you been doing all this while? Who the fuck did it?"

Balfour pursed his lips. He was expecting Biham's reaction. "We don't know who did it, but it seems like we have rogues in the kingdom and a large number of them."

"Go and find out about them!" Biham ordered him. "And kill them on sight!"

Balfour rushed to the last village for investigations, however when he reached there with his team, he found that two more villages were burned and looted in the same manner. There was something very wrong going on. One of the villagers informed him that he saw a pile of bodies on the gates of a village and another one informed that someone was using heavy dark magic. The wild beasts in the forest were being killed in an unusual manner. And when he reached the most recent village that was ravaged, he saw traces of Nyxers! He caught the faint whiff of their peculiar smell that was covered in layers of other herb scents. He realized they must have had potions of herbs to mask their original scent.

After having fought with them many times, Balfour had come to recognize their scent, however faint it was. But what confused him was the fact that the scent of Nyxers was mixed with that of monks from Cetus. He shook his head. Maybe he was overthinking.

He didn't waste time and simply rushed back to the capital where he informed Biham about their presence.

His brain stuttered for a moment as his ears took in the information. He hadn't expected this at all. Nyxers in his kingdom? And that too the whole army? Every part of his body went on a pause as his thoughts tried to catch up. After a moment of shock, he stepped closer to Balfour and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Inform Eltanin and Orion about it. Don't forget to inform Aquila and Eridanus kings too. We need men and we need them in numbers!"

Balfour nodded and left him in a hurry.

Kinshra came back with all the faes to the palace. As they all waited for her next order, Biham took her to the meeting chamber along with his trusted courtiers and a few faes.

"Kinshra, this has become extremely dangerous. We have Nyxers in the kingdom of Pegasii. I want all of you to go back to Vilinski and close all the portals," he said with a panicky expression as he grabbed her hand. He hated that he was letting her go but he had to protect her and this was the only way. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Kinshra looked at him wide eyed, shock etching her face. "I won't leave you Biham," she said, her voice thick with emotions.

"I am not asking you Kinshra. I am ordering you to. I don't want any one of you to face the Nyxers. They are horrible and it seems that Felis has started with his war by waging it on Pegasii. While I don't know why he would do that, it is still dangerous! You need to leave tonight."

Kinshra looked at the faes and then back to Biham, her heart beating wildly. Thinking of leaving Biham again was painful. She blinked away the tears that formed in her eyes and pursed her lips. Her fingers went to her hair as she raked them.

"Kinshra, did you hear me?" Biham said as he cupped her cheeks and steadied her. "I don't want you to be harmed. So reject me and go back. You should leave me now and then only you will have a better shot at life. Felis is—" Biham choked. "He is merciless." A shudder passed through him when he thought what Felis could do to her.
