Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

“We have discussed and found a solution.” An high elder spoke up once everyone was settled in their various seats.

“I’m all ears” King Jacob responded as he urged the elder to proceed.

“Have you heard of the legendary Golden artifact of Venice?” The elder asked glancing at the faces of everyone in that room.

Murmurs immediately erupted in the room as everyone expressed their surprise that such a matter was being brought up.

The golden artifact was a legend that had been passed down for generations.

According to the legend, the recluse werewolf kingdom of Venice, five hundred years ago, discovered an ancient artifact that shook the whole world.

It was said that the artifact had been discovered accidentally by the almost dying Alpha king of Venice who had gone on a quest back then. People said that the artifact rejuvenated him and gave him the strength to complete his quest and go back to his kingdom unharmed.

They said after the artifact was brought into Venice, the land prospered by heaps and bounds. It became a nation that could not be trampled easily by any other.

Where there is such power, there will be greed as the heart of an emotional creature is very fickle.

People from Venice as well as other kingdoms coveted the artifact vehemently so the Alpha king had no choice but to make a hasty decision back then.

It was said that he hid the artifact somewhere no one could ever find it. Since he did not want his generation to be totally deprived of the power of the artifact, he drew a map. One that only the true worthy Alpha king of Venice could understand.

For years, the map was said to be gibberish by the alpha king that followed so they all claimed that it was probably a lie.

Hence the tale became a legend passed down from generation to generation with no truth no substance.

“Yes! But what does our crisis have to do with a myth that has been told as a folklore to us when young?” The king questioned frustratingly as he thought this elder was spouting nonsense.

The elder obviously understood the king’s train of thought so he rushed to explain.

“A lot of people have not given up on that legend since then due to the existence of an actual map. They hope for it to truly be more than a legend. I happen to be one of those people.” He revealed softly looking down embarrassingly.

“Wow! So this is what an elder I appointed by myself does in his spare time. How brilliant!” The king said sarcastically.

The elders’ earlobe turned red in embarrassment at the sarcastic tone of the king as well as at the disdainful looks he got from his peers.

Still he did not deter and pushed on.

“If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have found out what I did. My spy happened to stumble on a conversation between the current alpha king and his wife.” The elder said self righteously.

The ears of everyone in the room perked up at that. Even the king stared at him curiously.

“What did they say?” King Jacob asked impatiently when he saw that the elder paused for dramatic effect.

Who the hell was he putting in suspense? Out with it already, you old fool!

“They said that one of their sons was able to decipher the map as well as the location of where the artifact was hidden. He had said that it was somewhere in their kingdom but since he did not want to alert his enemies, he wouldn’t go to retrieve it. He said the map was currently in the hands of that son but he was cautious enough not to mention the name of the son.” The elder finally confessed.

King Jacob was both shocked and elated by this discovery.

Finally, there seemed to be a way out of the tunnel.

There was a problem though.

How was he to get the prince to decipher the map for him and tell him the location?

The elder seemed to have seen through his thoughts so he soon piped in.

“Your highness, I have thought it through and I’ve decided that we have to send someone there undercover. To be more precise, we have to send a woman there” he announced.

“A woman? What will a woman be able to do there?” King Jacob asked skeptically.

“A woman who is very beautiful could use her honey trap to make him fall for her then give her the location of the artifact. That is the only way currently.” He answered.

“The person who would go has to be very beautiful. Also the person should be decided by you my king” the high elder added.

King Jacob nodded as he found the elder’s words to be reasonable.

Another problem had come up.

Who was he going to send that matched his standard and would not betray him?

…

The meeting had been postponed because they couldn’t decide who to send.

The king was currently on his way to his inner chambers to rest and deliberate on the matter.

As soon as he entered his room, he went straight to the bed and laid down while staring at the celling in deep thought.

He did not even notice when the door was pushed open and someone had entered.

It was when he felt a soft hand wrapping around his forearm that he snapped out of his thoughts and looked down.

He saw that his wife had come into the room earlier and she was currently looking at him with a pout for ignoring her.

He rolled his eyes inwardly at her childish behavior but he still coaxed her either way.

“My king. What is making you so absentminded today? You know you can share anything with me” Bella piped up after she had been coaxed.

King Jacob hesitated for a bit before he told her all that had been happening for the past few days.

Bella was shocked and panicked but she still tried to stay rational.

As she was contemplating, a wicked thought suddenly crossed her mind.

“Why don’t we send Alyssa?” She suddenly asked Jacob.

Jacob stared at her in shock once he processed what she said.
