The mana cost of the creatures being cast is still the stated cost on the card, even though you did not pay the cost.

Aluren checks the actual printed cost on the creature card, and is not affected by things which allow you to cast the spell for less.

You can't choose to cast a creature as though it had flash via Aluren and still pay the mana cost. You either cast the creature normally, or via Aluren without paying the mana cost.
