Elita

How many hours has it been? I don’t know.

It feels like forever since I ran out of that house and was led by a warrior to this small cottage in the woods, away from the settlement.

They prepared a hot bath for me, and a woman even came to deliver a set of pants and a loose-fitted shirt.

Now, I am lying on the soft bed after a week, staring at the ceiling.

The place is quiet, but the muffled sounds of the Kings’ voices from somewhere in the house break this peace occasionally.

They should have been given another residence. I am hating the fact that we are under the same roof right now. They talk too much.

But amidst their chatter, my senses are tuned for one voice—Dustin’s voice—but it never comes.

It’s pissing me off.

What the heck is he doing out there?

A voice inside my head says that he must be enjoying talking about the centuries old days with his companion. But…this voice is making me anxious.

Karlias…did he reincarnate too? Or did he never die? But how is that possib

and my second question would be, what he knows about the future and the other timeline. Because in the beginning he asked Elita about the end of the war and who won. So he didn't know then, but maybe the goddess showed some things to him meanwhile?

my first question would be, why Dustin can remember the past life, before his soul was reincarnated as Dustin and Elita cannot? she only knows, what the goddess showed her. If she could remember her past life as Soline, she wouldn't have acted like she did in the other timeline

    Elita“ Ask me… ” He says, his voice barely above a whisper. “ I won’t hold back. I won’t lie to you. ”I search his eyes. There is this sincerity there that I can’t deny, but I can’t get used to it either.Right now, it feels like if I can ask him anything—anything I want—he will answer it truthfully. He won’t divert my attention, he won’t try to lie, he won’t tell me that I don’t need to know anything. He will just give me the truth.And that feels like genuine power—a little hold over one of the strongest men in this world.There are so many questions I can ask. How do you remember the past life? WHY do you even remember the past life? Why didn’t I remember it? If you remember everything, you must know Levian even better than me…So many things…Yet, when his rough fingers cup my cheeks, and he presses his lips against mine again to steal a quick, gentle peck…I find everything in my head going blank like a clean slate.“ Why… ” I whisper, my throat constricting with several emotion

    Elita “ Don’t…think about it. I will never accept it, even if you want this. ” I blurt, my heart sinking.Dustin’s gaze lowers to my lips again and I find myself growing restless. He won’t really do that. He is smarter than this.He can never do something so foolish.I keep telling myself, but why is he leaning in towards my neck? A cold wave hits my hands, freezing my fingers against his shirt. My heartbeat slows down until I don’t think my heart is beating at all.“ D—Dustin. ” I whisper, my voice dropping.His face disappears from my sight as he presses his lips to the side of my neck. My gaze fixes on the wooden ceiling above.His lips press harder, lingering just below my jaw. He doesn’t respond. His mouth moves against my skin, spreading a slow, deliberate heat that steals my strength. My knees feel weak, and my fingers twitch, desperate to pull him closer or push him away—I don’t know which.The soft nibble of his teeth against my neck jolts me awake, and my breath whooshes

    Elita“ How do you know him? ” Aleister asks, his gaze flickering to me.It’s not just him. Even King Striker and King Tyson are looking at me weird. My brows lift to my hair before I wonder…Did they hear everything I was telling Dustin? I tilt my head, blinking rapidly. Well, that will be bad.I glance at Dustin, who is sitting beside me, nonchalant and all cold. The calmness he radiates somehow tells me that no one heard what we were talking about.Dustin must have used some of his unknown ability to make it so.“ Why are you all staring at me? ” I mumble under my breath.“ You didn’t look good when you came back. Why? ” Tyson asks, leaning in and narrowing his eyes on me. “ If Dustin won’t tell us anything, you should. It’s time we stopped playing games because it’s beginning to piss me off. I am sure it’s the same for Aleister and Striker. ”“ I— ”“ Does it matter how I know that old man? ” Dustin interrupts before I can defend myself. “ Then what matters? ” Striker hisses, ge

    ElitaInstead of feeling like a territory of allies, this suddenly feels like enemy territory to me. As I walk deeper into the woods and later emerge onto the familiar path that leads to the small town, I find the night alive.The streets are filled with women, children, and men. The lights flicker brightly, and the scene before me makes me stand still and watch them.How long has it been…I wonder as my shoulders slump. The last time I ever went out and roamed freely and alone was before my siblings were killed.I used to sneak out into markets, watching people mingle, and wonder how they could do it so easily. Now, I’m wondering about the same thing again.As my eyes follow a family of three—a mother and father taking their daughter down another path—a small smile lights my lips. They are so carefree and happy.The smile fades the next moment. I sigh. We are dragging these people into war soon. I don’t believe they will be this happy and carefree then.War… will take away their smil

    DustinThe forest is quieter now. I like it like this, with no one around and no responsibilities to shoulder for a while. I rest my back against the rough bark of a tree. My eyes flicker towards Elita as she settles beside me, her arms wrapped around her knees.She is shivering, and the night’s coldness is sinking into her bones despite her attempt to hide it. Before I can say anything, she turns her head to glance at me, her brows furrowed in thought. Then, without a word, she moves closer as if she owns this whole place, and…me. “ What are you doing? ” I ask, my voice low, laced with curiosity.She doesn’t answer. Instead, she gestures for me to move my knees apart. My body stiffens, my brows lifting. Slowly, I comply. Without hesitation, she crawls between them and turns around to press her back against my chest.See. She does act like she owns all of me. That’s why she does not even care to ask for my permission for anything.Her warmth seeps into me, and for a moment, the w

    DustinElita’s breath hitches, her body pressing closer to mine as if trying to shield me from the past. “ What happened next? ”It’s funny how this petite girl is trying to hide a big man like me. She thinks she can…just…protect me. She can’t really do that, but I want her to continue her efforts. “ I don’t know how, but the water healed me. I rose from the sea without a single wound, and the people… they called me a God. But I didn’t care about their words. All I wanted was to save Avi. She was on the rocks, bleeding out, and I couldn’t lose her. ” My voice softens, thick with emotion. “ I swam to her, desperate to reach her, but something happened in those moments. Reality…shifted. I saw flashes of another life. A life where I wasn’t just Dustin. A life…I had lived a long time ago as Sivash Landric. And then, just as quickly as it came, it was gone. The memories disappeared, but the feeling lingered. This sense that I had a purpose. That I had to protect something…the world, my pe

    ElitaThe air between us charges with tension as Dustin traces a path of kisses along my forehead, my cheeks, the corners of my mouth, and the curve of my jaw. Each one feels like a vow—a promise that he won’t let me go. His lips burn against my skin, leaving a trail of warmth that sinks deep into the coldest parts of me. My heart pounds against my ribcage, and before I know it, I am pushing my face into the crook of his neck, hiding from the intensity of his touch.What is he doing to me? This is not normal. I scream inside my head.But he doesn’t stop. His hands move down my arms before slipping under my shirt. The rough tips of his fingers brush against the scars along my sides, and I shiver—not from the cold, but from the raw vulnerability of the moment. Heat pools in my belly as his thumbs run along the underside of my breasts, just so close to touching me but never quite enough. His voice is soft, coaxing as he whispers. “ I told you everything you wanted to know. Now, it’s

    ElitaA self-deprecating smile lights my lips as I open my eyes and look down at Dustin’s hands. His breaths stop fanning my neck as if he is holding them in.“ I remember being numb, cold, and shocked at first. I thought so hard about it and tried to remember anything, but nothing came to me. Then, the panic set in. And I rushed to Akuji… ” I choke on his name, my hands clenching into fists. “ but before I got to him, he had already spread rumors that we had… that I had slept with him. In that time, when I was considered Levian’s woman even when I had no real intimate relationship with Levian…it was like Akuji won a trophy by sleeping with me. The vampires and humans who already looked down on me were delighted with that rumor because they could finally call me a whore…a woman who cheated on their King. And I couldn’t…I couldn’t tell anyone otherwise. Who would have believed me? I couldn’t even remember it clearly myself. ”Dustin lets out a low growl, the sound vibrating against my

    ElitaOnce again in life, I am forced to realize that waiting is the hardest thing to do.Waiting for someone is like dragging your body over a bed of nails. It is slow. It is painful. It does not kill, but it leaves me writhing. Time stretches, moving too slow, making every breath feel heavy, every heartbeat feel too slow.The worst part of it?Not knowing if they are even coming back, or if I am waiting for nothing, or if I should do something instead of just…sitting around and waiting. I pace around in the throne room, occasionally watching the vacant throne, then turning to the window that overlooks the sea. The water has been too calm, for too long. It’s unnatural. It’s been…four days now. Four days since Dustin Landric forced me into returning to the North! And he is not back!I keep thinking…If I could get ahold of him right now...I would curse at him. I would strangle him. I would kiss him. And tell him if he ever did this again, I would hate him forever. It might be a l

    LevianSometimes, I do wonder. What’s the point of everything they do to fight back? The pride they hold onto, the dignity they so cherish, the trust they have in their Goddess…It’s childish. So naive, as if holding onto those ideals will protect them from the harsh truths of the world. They fight and fight, convinced that their strength and their loyalty to some higher cause will save them, but all I see is a cycle of failure repeating itself. They believe in their righteousness, their purity, their connections to forces they cannot fully understand. But it is all an illusion.The Gods or the world does not care about pride. It does not care about dignity. It does not recognize the strength they claim to possess. No, the world and the Gods respect only power—the kind that bends others to your will, the kind that ensures survival by any means. They are too wrapped up in their fantasies to see the reality. Survival is not about pride. It is about doing what they must, without in

    DustinI stare back as Aleister glares at me. “ the distance was— ”“ Bigger than you expected? ” I shrug and turn to walk towards my horse.“ You already knew, didn’t you? ” He masks his anger behind a cold smirk.“ What? That you wouldn’t be able to teleport all of us? ” I look towards Striker, then Tyson. They are glaring at me just like Aleister. “ You knew. ” Aleister lets out a breath, his voice tinged with disbelief.“ This teleportation? It’s not the power of the South. It’s just some added perk from your submissive witch blood. Of course, I knew you could only teleport one or perhaps two of us before it stopped working for some time. ” I tell him honestly, not wanting to drag this out longer than needed. “ But I was hoping…you could send two back. Tyson would have been a good option. He knows Levian better than us. ”“ You knew he could only send one or two of us back, and you still chose her? ” Striker lifts his brows.“ You would have done the same if it was Lenora. She is

    ElitaI am back here again. The fire is consuming me, licking at my skin, searing through my lungs. And water seeps from the statue’s cold stone eyes, inching toward me as if trying to free me from the flames.Why do I always end up here? What does this even mean?Before I can make sense of anything, I jolt awake. My heart pounds against my ribcages as my wide eyes land on the plain, dirty ceiling. My breathing is uneven, and my body is still caught somewhere between the dream and reality.“ Did I scare you? ” Dustin’s soft voice sounds from beside me. I stiffen, and turn my head in his direction. He is standing beside the bed, his warm hand placed over my shoulder. His dark eyes hold something unreadable, but his face remains impassive.I blink, once, twice. Trying to gather my thoughts.“ I would have let you rest longer, but it’s urgent… ” Dustin says, straightening to his height. “ Get up and get ready. We need to leave. Now. ”Dread tightens a knot in my stomach. “ What happene

    ElitaIt will always remain this way. I will never register sex. I try to claw at his shoulder to ground my mind to this moment, to continue to look into his beautiful eyes, but everything is already blank before my gaze.Just when I think I am going to slip away from him, my body is flipped again. My heart misses a beat in my chest as everything clears in my view.I am above him, straddling his hips, with his length still inside me, filling me deeper now. My hands drop to his stomach, and my back arches when I register the burn in my core. He is stretching me so good.“ You are not…forgetting about this again. ” His deep, restrained voice echoes in my ears as he commands. Confused, I look down at our joined bodies, and then up at his clenched jaw, dark eyes, and hands that are clasped together, raised above his head. It takes me a moment to register what’s happening. But when I do, everything inside me turns warm and melts into a puddle.Dustin Landric, the man who can’t bear to l

    Elita“ I got a little taste of you, Ms. Folke… ” Dustin says, his voice low, husky. “ I need more now. ”My breath catches in my throat, the tension between us thick and suffocating.“ Still need more? ” I ask, my voice barely a whisper. “ Even after I acted like an ungrateful bitch and hurt you every time I opened my mouth? ”His hands slide down my sides with a precision that sends shivers down my spine. There is no hesitation in his touch, only certainty as if every move is part of a calculated plan. He grips my thighs firmly, lifting me with ease and wrapping my legs around his torso. His body feels like steel against mine—so hard, yet so warm. “ Those words meant nothing to me. I knew you were trying to push me away… ” He says, his tone devoid of softness. His eyes trail to my parted lips before snapping back to meet my gaze. “ You can try to push me away, but it won’t work. Because I always get what I want. And what I want right now is to have this… ”He leans down, so close

    Elita“You destroyed me, Dustin! Don't you understand?! ”Dustin’s jaw tightens. He watches as I storm to the door and step outside. The cold mountain air bites into my skin, but I do not care. I need space. I need air that does not smell like him. Just as I take a few steps forth and pick up my head, I see similar small huts surrounding me.Several warriors turn towards me and watch me standing there like a dummy. I take in a deep breath and start walking towards the right.Did Alpha King Striker have to trick me like this? What was he even hoping to achieve?I scoff, stomping forward to find a silent, lonely corner. I stop only when I reach the ditch again.It’s so visible even in the night. Why did I miss earlier then? I narrow my eyes on it, glaring at if I can blame it for everything going wrong. I don’t know how long I do it, but I know that my legs start feeling heavy.I crouch down and wrap my arms around my knees. I always knew what to do, but now, I feel like a fool.May

    ElitaThe quiet of the night almost stings my ears as I see myself back in that place—the first time I saw the Lycan King up close, a decade ago.His hand wraps around my wrist just as I try to turn and retreat. My heart races, a drumbeat of panic. I have already lured him into the trap. Death looms close, waiting to claim him in the form of a vampire king—the same monster who made me into this.It feels surreal. The memory had turned foggy after so many years among vampires and humans. I could no longer remember the sharpness of his features, the exact look in his eyes. But now, it is painfully clear.He is not glaring at me. There is no hatred in his gaze, not even blame.Maybe he already knew it was a trap. Dustin always knows everything.And still, he came.I pull, trying to wrench free, but it is no use. Levian stalks closer from behind. Yet Dustin does not shift his focus. His eyes never leave mine.“You will regret it.” His thumb brushes my pulse point, lingering just long enoug

    ElitaI lie awake, staring at the ceiling above my head, my mind too full to let sleep take me. Tonight, it feels so cold in here. I feel this itch under my skin to go find that Lycan King and snuggle into his arms but I hold still. He is warm when his limbs are entangled with mine, but I am still angry at him.That’s not all. There is an ache between my legs, a constant, needy ache that demands his touch. It’s driving me crazy. Suddenly, someone knocks at the door. My heart misses a beat.Dustin. It has to be him. He knocked on my door hours ago and I just pretended to be asleep.The thought of him sends a rush through me—anger, longing, something that twists low in my belly—but I force myself to stay put. I won’t answer. I won’t let him in.“ Elita. ” The voice from the other side of the door calls out, and it’s not him. It’s Striker. “ Come out. ”I sigh and move my legs over the side of the bed, bare feet touching the cold floor. When I open the door, he stands there in the dim
