Elita

A 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

    Elita“ Maybe, Levian finally felt something was wrong with me, and he didn’t want me to drown anymore. So he let me see the Princes. Just the three of them. ” I sigh, shifting my focus to the sky again.“ What were they like in that time? ” Dustin leans away, and his lips brush the tip of my ear again.A smile tugs at the corner of my lips. The Princes were not anything he would ever expect at all. They were…innocent, but they lacked the warmth children usually carry with them. The eyes of the eldest Prince—Prince Ryder were cold, and I sensed the hostility coming from him the first time I came across them.He was the only one among the children who remembered a little of his family, his parents, and his past. That’s why he didn’t like the vampires, or the humans, or anyone around him.But when he realized that I was a werewolf, he realized that they were not alone in this brutal world. They could rely on me. So, that child…He looked up to me, to protect them, to keep them safe, to

    Elita“ You do know how to ruin my mood. ” I scoff, tracing invisible circles in his palm with my thumb. “ Are you not going to tell me? ” He kisses the spot below my ear, his voice lowering.“ Nothing much. I started teaching the children about Lycans and werewolves secretly. They did not stay clueless about their parents. And it led to…kind of a disaster. That Aleister’s brother escaped and ended up trying to take off with the children. Levian was gone again, but this time, I was not as clueless either. I found out that…I could not bring my brother and sister back because, for that, I needed to sacrifice something big and…I didn’t have anything like that. I was ordinary, and so I did what ordinary people could do to take revenge. ” I shrug, heaving a heavy breath after blurting it all out.“ You helped them? ” Dustin questions.“ I tried to help them. And they…almost got away but…I didn’t know what plans they actually had. Just as they got a little away from the vampire territory,

    ElitaDustin carries me all the way back to the cottage, his hold gentle, as if he’s afraid I might shatter in his arms. My head rests against his shoulder, and though the warmth of his body is comforting, I am still sulking over his earlier antics. When he finally lays me down on the bed, I catch a glimpse of his face and look away instantly. Without a word, he turns around and heads toward the bathroom, leaving me alone in the dark room.I lie there under the blanket, staring at the ceiling first, then at the wall. My fingers idly trace circles on the fabric of the blanket. My thoughts keep drifting to everything we have shared tonight. The oversharing is embarassing me now, but it’s not because Dustin made me feel inadequate but because…I can’t believe I really told him everything.The sound of running water ceases, and a few moments later, the bed dips behind me. My heart flutters for a moment, but when I glance over my shoulder, I realize he is lying on the far edge of the be

    ElitaThe rest of the day is lazy and filled with so much annoyance that it leaves me grumbling with each breath. I wander through the market of the ancient wolf tribe, just checking out the booths filled with leather goods, intricate jewelry, and weapons.Tyson follows behind me, his presence something I can’t really ignore. I glance back at him once, catching the way his lips twitch upward in a smirk. I narrow my eyes, getting tired of him already.“ You are having too much fun with this… ” I accuse, holding up a delicate bracelet made of stones before setting it back down.He tilts his head, pretending to be hurt. “ And what’s ‘this,’ exactly? ”“ Following me around like a lost puppy. ” I scoff, stomping to the next shop, where he follows me like usual. “ Lost? ” Tyson scoffs, feigning offense this time. “ No, my Lady. I know exactly where I am going. I am just doing my friend a favor by keeping an eye on what he called ‘trouble’ early this morning. ”“ He called me trouble? Why

    ElitaI keep an eye on Dustin for the rest of the day while actively avoiding him. If he had come across me, and held me like he did this morning, I would have spilled all the beans definitely.And that’s not what I want right now.The moment Dustin leaves the cottage at night, my mind doesn’t rest. I pace from one end of the room to the other, several thoughts occupying my mind. I know exactly where he has gone. Karlias. He is meeting with Karlias. And as much as I trust Dustin to handle himself, there is something about this entire situation that gnaws at me. And Dustin’s repeated tendency to make sacrifices doesn’t help this situation either. I can’t sit still any longer. Grabbing the shawl that was delivered with the clothes this morning, I throw it over my shoulders and sneak out of the cottage, careful enough to not come across any of the Kings.My destination is clear—the market. If there is anywhere I can find answers, find that warrior…it’s there.The market is not as livel

    Dustin My senses are sharp, tuned into every sound, every movement caught in the net of my awareness. I can feel her—Elita—back at the cottage. Restless, probably plotting something already. The thought amuses me, but it’s gone as quickly as it comes. There is no room for distraction. Not when I am walking straight into the lion’s den. Karlias is waiting for me when I enter his office. He doesn’t bother with pleasantries, and neither do I. We are long past that. “ You took your time… ” He says, his voice controlled. I let the corner of my mouth lift in a smirk, but it doesn’t reach my eyes. “ I didn’t realize I was on a schedule. ” Karlias leans back in his chair, his eyes studying me. “ You have been making quite an impression on my people. Sparring with Kalix…That was bold. ” “ He challenged me. ” I reply with a nonchalant shrug. “ I was not going to let him question my strength. ” Karlias chuckles, but there is no humor in that. “ And now they are whispering your name like

    ElitaWhen the Kings told me that Dustin beat that poor Elf up, I didn’t really take it serious. I told myself secretly that Dustin was more angry about Tyson than jealous about me.But tonight, he has proved me wrong.The way he moved, using the extent of his power, to become a blur and grab Kalix before any of us could see him coming…The way he choked him…And the way he looked so ready to murder him…It cements a strange thought. Dustin Landric was tolerant of men before, but now when he thinks we have gotten too close to be comfortable with each other, he can’t stand it when I am close to another man.It drives him crazy. And crazy is not a good look on him.I don’t know if he noticed, but the temperature in Kalix’s house dropped and it felt like everything was going to freeze to death. But the moment I wrapped myself around Dustin as a last resort, the temperature went down again.And then, he just started dragging me away.Now, we are here, inside the cottage but he is not stop

    Elita“ Did you just— ” My back arches off the bed, as Dustin’s warm breaths hit my moist core. “ did you just hit me there? ”My head rolls back, my eyes threatening to close against the sharp pleasure. But his voice keeps me in the moment, forcing me to focus on every breath, every movement.“ I can kiss it better if you are that offended. ” Dustin murmurs, his voice dropping.“ W—What— ” I gasp loudly as he plants an open mouth kiss on my clit. It’s like everything inside me is tuned to that one, throbbing, drenched spot. His breaths are still warming me.“ Say my name. The moment you stop saying it, I will stop too… ” His lips brush my clit with each raspy word. “ Wha— ”His tongue sticks out, licking a path up. My head goes blank, and the energy in my limbs disappears. It’s like someone snatches my soul and then slams it back into my body. My toes curl, my heels lifting off the bed but his hands wrap around my thighs and push my body down again.“ My name, Elita. ” He nibbles

    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
