The Alpha's Temptation

Chapter 271 A Sketch

Eltanin was feeling so invigorated after he had taken Tania that he wouldn't stop. He took her again and again, till he was drenching in sweat. Every time he took her, he would have this urge to sink her fangs in her and drink from her. He was doing his best to shove his wolf down. He had to school him and make him understand that she was a delicate girl.

Exhausted, he slumped beside her and looked at her. She was also tired. She turned to his side and curled up in him with her hand on his chest and her legs on his thighs, lightly brushing his member. She rested her head over his thick bicep.

The night had turned a shade darker and even more mesmerizing. Stars reflected their dazzle over the water surface making the whole place surreal. Eltanin hadn't experienced this kind of tranquility from a long time. It was so calming even in his state of exhaustion that he inhaled deeply. The air smelled of brine and sea plants and mist and their sex. Perfect. He stroked her back beneath her wings as she curled her wing around him to cover them both. "Do you want to go back?" he asked.

"Hmm... after a little while." She wanted to rest. She closed her eyes and said, "There is a thing I wanted to point out, Elty."

He traced his hand to hers and lifted it against the moonlight. Hers was so petite against his big one. "Tell me..."

"I could feel your beast when you were in me."

Eltanin stilled. His shoulders became tight with tension.

"It was as if he wanted to be with me and was sort of calming me when you were thrusting inside me. The effect was dreamlike... so serene. And I wanted to flow in it. I wanted you to drink from me."

Eltanin's throat bobbed. He knew it. "I am trying to control him. Tania," he finally said. She should know about his wolf. "But he is probably so drunk on his new power or maybe he doesn't understand what is going on. That's why he is reacting like this."

She chuckled. "You don't have to be so guilty about it, love. I understand that you are not just any werewolf and that your wolf is not just any common wolf. He is an ancient beast, which means that not only you are a demigod, your wolf too is someone close to the Moon Goddess."

Eltanin knew all this but listening from Tania made him feel restless. He quickly turned to face her and cupped her cheeks. "You don't have to worry about him at all, Tania!" he said. "I am going to control him and never let him take over me. Just give me some time." His gaze darted between her eyes. There was so much tension in them that her chest squeezed.

"Please, Elty. I am not at all bothered by your wolf. Maybe, it is his demand."

He shook his head. "No. No. No. I will groom him to be gentle and not take over when I am taking you. He can be very dangerous and I doubt he understand what human sex is all about."

She resigned. He was so protective of her that he was wary of his wolf's intentions. That was something that the two had to deal with and come to an amicable solution. "Okay, relax now. Do what you want to with him, but I will be fine with whatever decision you take."

He breathed a sigh of relief and then turned on his back, sprawling over the sand. She rose to her feet and tied her skirt. Extending her hand to him, she said, "Come let's go back."

"You go. I will follow you."

She turned to walk back towards the castle. She had gone only a few meters away when all at once she felt warm furs brushing her legs. "Eltyyy!" she squealed seeing a giant black wolf padding by her side. His wolf wanted to come out and thank his mate in his way. He licked her hands and wagged his tail, yipping and letting out low howls. He poked his snout in between her legs once, and she had to swat him away, laughing and giggling. "You are such a sweetheart!" she remarked and got more licks. The wolf bit her skirt with his teeth and tore it off. He licked on her buttocks now. "Such a shameless wolf I have!" She chided him with humor.

They reached their bedchamber and Eltanin shifted back. His wolf was happy to come out and be with his mate even if that was for a little while. But Eltanin knew that his wolf wanted more of their mate.

"King Izo and Queen Taiyi are waiting for your audience," the maid informed them.

"King Izo?" Eltanin was surprised.

They hurried to get ready and went to meet King Izo.

Izo was so happy to see them. He quickly hugged Eltanin and then went to Tania. "Lusitania!" he said, looking at her. "How are you feeling?"

She bowed to the king and politely said, "I am feeling fine, Your Highness."

Izo nodded, as a smile again appeared on his lips. "Come child. We must talk a bit. I didn't have the chance to talk to you last time."

Eltanin was stunned at his grandfather's behavior. He looked at his mother and mouthed, 'What is going one?'

She shrugged.

Izo went on to talk to Tania, completely ignoring Eltanin. He talked about everything about her past and also what happened in Vilinski. It was almost dinner time when they finished talking. The servants served them meals in the meanwhile.

"Lusitania, it has been ages since I have seen Menkar. Can you draw his sketch for me?"

"Sure," she replied with a surprised voice.

Izo directed a servant to bring her paper and charcoal. She set upon drawing it and finished the sketch in less than half an hour.

Izo looked at the sketch. He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. "Hmmm... Well, thank you, Lusitania."

As soon as Eltanin and Tania left, Izo said--
