His Fated Temptation

Assassinate?? Who?? Me??

Just as Kael was leaving the hall, his cell phone rings. It is Lucien.

He picks the call up.

"Lucien," he says. "I'm done here. If it's not urgent then we will talk there."

"Ummm.. Kael, someone wants to meet you. She says she is from the Red Moon pack." Lucien says.

Kael's steps halt mid-way and his bodyguard's too. "What is she doing here? "

"Oh, you know her?"

"Yes! " Kael answers, his voice clipped as he looks around with guarded eyes.

"Well, she's not in the office. She is in a nearby café in a private booth alone. She said your number wasn't going through so she contacted me. "

Kael nods. "Let her remain there and make sure no one.. I mean no one spotted her. You and Roran should be there too. "

"Why..."

Kael cuts the call when Lucien was still speaking.

After about fifteen to twenty minutes, Kael arrives at the meeting place to see Roran and Lucien already there. Before coming here, Kael got rid of the bodyguards that were behind him, telling them not to follow him in there. He didn't want any of them to see the woman he was to meet as his business with her was supposed to be very confidential.

As soon as he opens the door, he sees a beautiful blonde haired woman with blue eyes and freckles on her cheek.

She bows a little and greets. "Hello, Supreme Alpha."

Kael nods his head in acknowledgement. He sits down on an available chair nearest to him and gestures to her and both Lucien and Roran to sit down.

"What brings you to call me, Florence? Is everything okay in your pack?" He asks.

"Yes, Supreme Alpha. All is well. Thanks for asking." She pauses before continuing. "Actually, I came here to tell you that the work is done. "

Roran and Lucien look confused. They didn't get anything from the conversation between the Alpha and this woman.

Kael notices and therefore, he tells them to introduce each other. He crosses his legs and looks around the booth with an unbothered expression.

"Ohh, I'm Florence Blackhill, Daughter of Alpha Aaron Blackhill of Red Moon pack." She extends her hand to both of them and they both shake it gently, introducing themselves too.

"I'm Roran. Kael's.. I mean.. Supreme Alpha's Beta."

"And I'm Lucien. The mistreated gamma." Lucien pouts like a kid.

Florence laughs. "I know both of you..." She starts but Lucien cuts her mid-sentence.

"But you didn't tell me anything, not even your name when you called. You just said that you want to meet the Supreme Alpha and it's very important. That's it.."

"Well, this is important, Supreme Alpha. " She turns to Kael while he stares back at her.

"Talk. "

"I got the Intel that they've sent their assassins to assassinate Gamma Lucien. And they're.. "

Again, Lucien doesn't let her finish her sentence.

"What in the seven hells? Assassins??? Assassinate??! Me? Who are they?? Why??" He yells the last part so loud and almost jumps off his seat, that Roran doubts that if not for the soundproof walls in this booth, the whole nation would've heard what is supposed to be a confidential meeting.

Kael ignores his gamma's exasperated and shocked screams. He inquires. "You're sure?"

Florence bows. "Yes, Supreme Alpha. I did everything you asked."

"Can someone please tell me what's going on? Why am I being assassinated?"

"Sit down, Lucien. Now." Kael orders and when Lucien reluctantly does, Kael looks to Florence without saying anything, he gestures for her to speak.

She clears her throat to get the beta and gamma's full attention. "Supreme Alpha told me about the Shadow Siren and how she needs to be found so we can all make her an ally or their entire organization allies because we all know we are fighting for the same cause... To eliminate the demons that keep arising."

"Go on.." Lucien says, already getting impatient.

Florence nods and continues. "The Supreme Alpha as you know, have met with many other alphas and much other intel who gave him not much information about the Shadow Siren. Initially, I did my research and I noticed that the Shadow Siren used to kill humans only, she just recently started to kill demons and I kind of figured out that in their organization, their assassins are ranked. The higher the level you are in, the more you are granted the liberty to kill supernaturals. It's just like in a workplace where you get promotions.” She explained. "But there is a common thing. They all have one motto and that is; they kill those who assault or abuse someone or anyone especially if the killers feel that whoever they are killing is below them. Like how demons kill humans. So, Supreme Alpha Kael contacted my father and I, and we decided to help.."

Florence was almost nervous to explain the last part because she had just experienced Lucien's reaction. She takes some time before she begins to speak again. "And what..."

"We used you as bait." Kael's impatient voice cuts in. He was already getting tired of seating here, his patience was wearing thin. If Lucien wants to whine like the teenage girl he does like, so be it. Kael knows that communicating with him when he was like this would make him end up with a headache and of course, it always cost him very expensive.

He puts his hand on his head, already ready for an upcoming headache.

"Bait?"

Here it comes.

"Yes, bait. Florence here gave them a contract to kill you as you are picturized as a r****t, a man w***e and a very cruel lycan who thinks money is power and doesn't care about any one's feelings." Kael finishes without minscing words and just drops the bomb right there and then. He relaxes and his expression is back to being unbothered.

Lucien's eyes became wide as saucers and his jaw almost touches the ground. Roran looks shell shocked to say anything.

Although Lucien sleeps around and is a little flirtatious, he never hurts others especially humans that he has been 'pictured' to hurt, in fact r**e.

"Ohhh, this is wild!" Lucien shakes his head, still looking doubtful but whenever he stares back at the Alpha, his straight face tells him that this isn't a dream. "Ahh, man, y'all should've told me." He looks at Roran.

The beta raises his hand. "Just like you, I wasn't informed about this, pup. I'm just hearing it for the first time."

"Finding the Shadow Siren is urgent." Kael speaks. "And since you both failed to find her for almost a week now.. I had to do it my way."

"At least you could've told me. I shouldn't have known like this." Lucien whines. Then suddenly, Kael notices that mischievous glint in his eyes. He knew something was playing in this pup's mind.

Kael sighs. "I know you want something in order for you to corporate. What is it? "

Lucien's smile appears broader. "You know Supreme Alpha, uhh.. Mercedes just released its new model." He looks at the alpha, wiggling his eyebrows on purpose and Roran sighs too, knowing that this pup's wolf would be wiggling its bushy tail too. He and his craziness for cars and its new brand.

Roran tries to remember about Mercedes' new model then he realizes the particular brand the gamma is talking about. He shakes his head. Here goes Kael's millions. AGAIN!

Roran chuckles on seeing the tired look the alpha gave his gamma.

"You know Supreme Alpha that this plan would cost you. " Roran asks with an amusing tone.

"Well, he should use you as bait then maybe, it wouldn't be expensive for him." Lucien says to Roran while winking at the alpha.

"Don't worry, pup, I wouldn't want to steal your role. It suits you perfectly." Roran winks back.

Lucien folds his arms to his chest and turns away from the beta angrily.

Florence looks at them.. amused.

The alpha sighs. Sometimes he actually doubts if he did right choosing these two as his beta and gamma. But one thing is sure, he would never trade them for anything in the world. NOTHING.

Everything is falling into place now. He just has to explain his plan to them.

The Alpha turns to Roran. "You have a role to play in this too." He says, and pauses to think.

Lucien smiles, happy that Roran might get a role worse than his.
