The Alpha's Temptation Chapter 345 His Mother

The woman took her hood back down and when her face revealed, Felis forgot to breathe.

"I am Taiyi from Draka," said the woman. Her face was glowing with a beautiful aura and she looked at Felis with her lovely dark eyes. Her long hair cascaded like a fountain. Her long, slender fingers were holding her hood down. "And I have co to deliver nkar."

Felis's heart stopped. It was for the first ti that he saw his mother. She had concealed her full identity and it ant that she was ready in case of danger.

He had heard the tales of how his father forced her and then he was born. His heart wrenched with an unknown emotion. He was not ready for this kind of eting. He wanted to et her and know about the magic that she had and that Eltanin had, but why was it that he didn't have it. And if he did, why wasn't it unlocked?

But this— he wasn't just ready for it. He had waited for this mont for centuries. He had even thought out as to what conversation he was going to have with her. But when he saw his mother for the first ti, every word vanished. He wanted to reveal himself to her, but he didn't know how to shirk the tattoos from his body. Suddenly, he felt extrely possessive about her. His throat dried as he tried his best to contain himself. He knew that everyone must be staring at him for his next step, but he was dead quiet.

Felis stared at his mother for a long ti, studying her, committing her to his mory. His mind had beco numb as too many thoughts swirled around. Did she know that he was her child?

Finally, when he was able to gather his wits, he dismounted his horse. How could Eltanin be so careless so as to leave their mother out in the open and face the Nyxers with nothing but fifty soldiers? He wanted to blast Eltanin for being so reckless.

He walked to her, taking each step carefully. When he was about three hands away from her, he said, "We—welco."

All the soldiers were extrely shocked and glanced at their king. King Felis had never ever used such polite words with anyone. He had always been too harsh and if they were people from Draka, they ended up dying in his hands.

Taiyi was just as surprised as others by the words of the soldier from the Hydra Kingdom. She narrowed her eyes. "I am not here for your welco, soldier!" she snapped. "I believe that you wanted nkar, and I have co to hand him over to you." She waved her hand at the rman in the cage. "Though I wonder what would be his utility. He is a shriveled-up man, who can only survive if he is in water." She turned her face to the right and her eyes landed on the winding Eridani River, the black water of which sparkled under the stars that had just begun to pop out in the sky one by one. "If you like you can leave him in those waters."

"Nooo…" a feeble and scared voice ca from the cage. Nerio knew that if he was left in those waters, he would end up dying instantly. Nothing survived in the Eridani River. "She is— she conning…" he said. "She is… she is…"

"Take the prisoner away to the camp!" Felis shouted, fearing that he would reveal the identity of his mother. "NOW!" If he revealed the identity of Taiyi, then he knew that there would be too many who would know what she looked like. That would be a disaster because then they would try to capture her and use it against him.

​ There was a hurried movent amongst the soldiers.

"What are you doing, Felis?" Nerio's hoarse, gravelly voice ca. "She is—"

"Quiet!" Felis shouted at Nerio. "If you utter a word, I will throw you in Eridani now!"

The soldiers hurriedly took him away. Felis brought his attention back to his mother. "I can't believe that the Draka King has sent a woman for his work," he said.

"I am no ordinary woman," Taiyi replied, her chin up. "The Draka King has also sent you a ssage," she said, extending her hand out.

Felis's gaze went on her hand and he saw a scroll in it. He took it from her with his hands shaking. He didn't open it. He addressed her, "Would you like to spend the evening in my camp?"

"I am not a fool, soldier," Taiyi said. "You will butcher my people and , but you should know that I am able to take a thousand n if need be. So please don't try those tricks on . Tell you king that nkar is useless now. If I were your king, I would throw nkar in Eridani as soon as possible instead of trying to revive him." Taiyi wanted to throw nkar in Eridani because that would be her closure. Ileus had already disintegrated his mind into pieces. The rman had caught up with his real age. He was going to die soon. But he was going to die in the worst manner. He would rot. Even if thrown in water, he won't be able to revive. Eltanin didn't want to send her, but she insisted that she go alone.

All these n were highly trained soldiers of Draka. As if that wasn't enough, Alrakis was ready with five hundred n in the Ivory Forest who were hidden at various places.

"I promise that I will not touch your n," Felis rasped. "I will not touch you or your n, but please stay for the night and you can head back tomorrow morning. It is not… safe."

Taiyi raised her eyebrow. She chuckled. "Since when have the Nyxers started being so good to won? Or is it so kind of a trap?"

Felis's throat bobbed. He really wanted to spend ti with his mother. "In that case, how about I co to this side of the border under your protection?"
