Elita

Nothing comes out of the dramatics.

I always knew that.

But never understood it until this moment.

“ I told you…you are not dying. ” Dustin says, his eyes drilling holes in the side of my head.

I eye the bowl of soup in the tray placed on my lap and pretend that it’s the most important thing in the world. What else can be important right now, anyway?

Without saying anything, I grab the spoon in my trembling hand, scoop the soup, and shove it in my mouth.

“ So, Elita Folke, its’ time. Why don’t you start talking? ” He leans back in the chair he is sitting on, right beside my bed, to make me feel how close he is.

I choke on the soup, coughing wildly. The spoon slips from my fingers and drops into the bowl.

My heart is about to explode. It’s better this way. It should explode, and I should die.

“ Are you dying again? ” Dustin blinks, his face still blank.

I stop coughing. Apparently, this choking act doesn’t work on him.

“ What are you— ” I swallow, daring to steal a glance his w

Hi Lovelies, How do you like the story so far? I know it's a slow burn and quite frustrating now but Dustin is not someone who will instantly fall in love or lust :) P.S. The good chapters are coming soon ❤️

I like it but still little confused how it will plan out will she come back as a child or will she come as herself grown up ? Or will she stay in Lana body? Can’t wait till he falls in love with her I think they are a good match. She’s silly like Nora and cold like him.

    ElitaNot again. I scream inside my head as the ‘thing’ swims closer to me.Instinctively, my limbs start moving in the water and I swim towards the surface. The wounds in my side and thigh open again and blood starts flowing in the water.But I can’t stop to care. I need to get out before that ‘thing’—whatever it is—gets to me.The moment my head emerges from the lake, I gasp for air. The energy in my limbs drops, leaving my legs and arms heavy.That’s when I notice it—A light graze of something sharp on my ankle. I shriek, shaking my legs wildly to move away, but those sharp claws dig into my flesh and pull me down.“ Dustin.” I yell, my eyes lifting to the window.But he is not there now.The water around me turns colder at the sudden thought in my head.He left me in here.Whatever is holding my leg, pulls and I am forced under water again.I shake my head, the heel of my left foot colliding with a face. A low shriek sounds in the water, surprising me.The hold on my

    Elita I lean back, panting. His blood stains my lips as I meet his gaze. His eyes are still cold, but there’s something else there now. A fire. A flicker of something primal, like the predator inside him, recognizes the one inside me. We are both alike in ways we can’t really understand. His chest rises and falls quickly, his breaths shallow, but I know it’s not just from the kiss. The night darkens, and the water behind me ripples again. My small plan of revenge had the desired results. Something between us shifts, a spark igniting. It’s the mate bond, the pull I kept trying to ignore, but now it’s impossible. The air around us crackles, turning electric. I feel it in my bones, in my veins. My skin buzzes with the intensity of it, and it makes my heart race inside my chest. I shouldn’t want this. This is wrong. He just tried to drown me to death and felt nothing much about it. He played dirty, and I want to play dirtier than him. I want to leave him hanging while

    ElitaThe future.The words jolt me awake. The haze in my mind clears, and I look up into his cunning eyes.“ Why did you assume I am from the future? ” I ask, my heart beginning to beat fast.Dustin looms over my head, his eyes zeroed in on me. Something about the way he stares—like he knows things even I don’t know sends a shudder down my back.“ Dustin, I never told you that… ” My voice drops, and my heart sinks in the pit of my stomach,“ It’s not important. ” He blinks and steps away, putting some distance between us.“ Why do you always decide what’s important or not?! ” I snap. “ Maybe it’s not important for you, but it is for me, and you can’t tell me it’s not. ”Blood is rushing towards my head. I was so dazed after that kiss that my mind stopped working. But now, I am beginning to see things clearly.He knows things. And he is not telling me.“ It’s not every day that someone believes a person can travel back in time. ” I rise to my feet, ignoring the jabbing pain in my thig

    ElitaI am in the Kingdom of the South!I want to roll around and whine. What am I doing behind these walls? But…To think about it on a deeper level, this is so exciting. This is something I didn’t get to do even in my original timeline.Levian used to say that when he became a Lycan, he was gifted with the powers of the light. And the only one who could truly rival his power was a Lycan from the Kingdom of the South-the one who was gifted with the dark powers. I shudder at that thought. The Lycans from the South have the power to bring darkness with them, but that’s not all. The scarier fact is that they can control the minds—minds of the living and the dead. I have heard of the Southern King’s use of those powers before. He raised an Army of the dead against the Vampires and Humans. The vampires were on the verge of losing, and that was the closest they touched the loss in the war. Uncountable vampires were killed and perished. Humans were slaughtered and mutilated. The undead A

    ElitaI want to believe that I am above everything sometimes. All that crush stuff and giddy excitement-I am above that. But I am still a girl.I can’t help the bubble of excitement that explodes in my belly and makes me buzz with energy.Dark powers have always been a source of thrill for me. I imagine a Lycan bringing darkness and evil mind control powers with him, and I find myself wanting to roll on the floor, giggling and kicking my feet in the air like an idiot.That’s what I am feeling right now. My eyes go round, admiration and excitement displayed in them. Even my fists move to my chest to contain those giddy emotions, but I can’t help it.I take in his dark clothes—a loose-fitting jeans and a T-shirt that hugs his body and his sharp feaures. The most prominent feature about him is his eyes. All Lycans have different shades of black eyes, but his eyes are a glowing grey because he is not an everyday Lycan. He is a Hybrid—he has a witch’s blood in his veins and has inherited

    Elita“ I saw the wound she had. ” Avery hisses. “ You couldn’t have carried her all the way here from the North with a wound that recent. She got hurt around the walls somewhere, didn’t she? ”My gaze keeps switching between the three powerful people, trying to understand the dynamics. I understand that Avery and Aleister are angry for some reason but…Why doesn’t Dustin say anything? Why is he not telling them anything? Just why?“ You will remain silent again? ” Avery catches onto what I have been thinking and sneers. My heart sinks. Everything inside me wants me to reach out to Dustin and shake his arm, to ask him to say something.He left his Kingdom and came here to make sure the vampires didn’t get to penetrate the wall of the South. All this time, he’s been doing everything to protect his sister…She wouldn’t be angry at him like she is right now if she knew. “ You don’t need to be worried like this, Avi. There is nothing you need to know. ” Dustin replies in a composed ma

    ElitaWhen I thought he would deal with me later, this is not what I had in my mind at all.I refrain from glancing over my shoulder and try to shrink in myself as his front presses into my back with every breath, every move forward.My throat feels drier than the desert, and my heart is lodged into my throat, claiming that spot as if it is always supposed to be here.“ Why do I have to ride on the same horse? ” I mutter under my breath, my back shuddering as his arms stretch around me.I feel cornered. Not in a bad sense. But sitting so close to his parted thighs and caged in his arms feels like a tight space. I can’t breathe or think or move away. Because, of course, there is no freaking space between us.Distance is important.It’s the key. It is what—“ I have to keep an eye on the trouble. ” He drawls, sending a heated shudder down my back once more.“ Who? ” I roll my eyes. “ Me? ”My ears perk up, waiting for a sassy reply. But he doesn’t say anything.Note to myself. When he

    ElitaBy the time we reach the Wolveshire Citadel, it’s already dawn. The sun rises in the distance, and the clouds surround it, hindering the sunlight. I feel dead. My legs and back hurt like a cart ran over me and broke my bones. I want nothing more than to rush to the closest room and drop dead for a whole day.But, thoughts are still racing through my mind. I have limited time and a lot of things to do.“ What happens to your father now? I assume you didn’t punish him because of some hidden agenda you have in mind, even when I offered him to you on a silver platter. ” I ask before yawning tiredly.“ The enemies you know are better than those you don’t. I know Redley. If I get rid of him and the Former King, I won’t know the next man Levian chooses to be his spy and ally. ” Dustin explains, to my surprise.I take my hand off his wrist and fold my arms across my chest. “ but if you let them be, they will eventually cause a bigger problem. If you know them, Levian knows you, Dustin.

    ElitaIt felt like I was on the wrong side of the war again. I was forced to watch as the vampires and humans entered the portal.Their cheers. Their excitement. The cries for victory. It haunted me. But I couldn’t do a thing.I couldn’t burn this whole damn place down and every single person in it to protect the people who mattered to me. I couldn’t even yell curses at them and tell them that they were going to lose this battle, and then their lives. I could just sit there and seethe in silence. It made me feel bitter. I wanted to leave this place and return to Dustin’s side, but Levian was looming over my head, making escape impossible.“ Let me go. ” I whisper as I see another batch of vampires entering the portal.They are…too huge in numbers. The werewolves and Lycans are outnumbered even with the help they received from the ancient wolf tribes. “ Let me go, Levian. If you are going to war, you should set me free and let me watch, shouldn’t you? ” I whisper when he doesn’t ans

    DustinElita is gone. She was right in front of my eyes. And what did I do? Nothing.I couldn’t do anything.My reactions were too slow. It took too much energy to summon the force in me. And when I was dealing with my weakness, he took her. The weight of it crushes me. It’s like an invisible hand is squeezing my heart, threatening to make it stop beating any moment now. The moment I close my eyes, I see it again, the way her body vanished, the flicker of shadows swallowing her whole. My hands clench as I grip the reins of my horse.I have to get her back. It’s not a thought. It’s a vow. It’s a force that drives my every action.I must get her back right away. The gates of Wolveshire Citadel are right in front of me, but just as I am about to leave, someone calls out my name.“ Dustin. ”Avi.She and the others are just stepping out of the inner gate. I pause in my way, trying to scan them for any signs of what they want but my mind…doesn’t cooperate. The edges of my eyes have gon

    ElitaI forgot to take the witch’s potion for some time.I was being careless. And the first sign of that should have been a crack in my appearance.But it’s not. I look down at my hands and notice the black veins that have spread everywhere, leaving no spot untouched. It feels…strange. Perhaps I became delusional. I thought the healing ability I borrowed from Dustin could fight off the curse on me. But that was just…wishful thinking.The truth is…He is not saving me. He is dying with me. I shake my head and down the potion in the vial. It’s not the time to dwell on it yet. Just a little more time—that’s all I need. Just some time. I clench the empty bottle in my fist and start walking towards the throne room. The witches have started teleporting the ancient wolf tribe to the North with the help of King Aleister and Prince Declan. Levian must have realized this by now. And he will not delay the war anymore.Just as I turn the corner, goosebumps rise on my arms. I pause beside

    ElitaI wake up with a yawn and rub the side of my face against the hard surface I am resting it over.The familiar masculine scent fills my senses, making me smile to myself.“ It’s so comfortable. ” I mumble.“ Of course, it is comfortable for you. You only find comfort after you force me out of it. ” A sarcastic voice says.My eyes snap open and land on the empty lounge. The dim lights are turned on, and the Kings and Queens are not here anymore.“ Ha? Did I fall asleep here? ” I wonder, leaning away from the surface.When I turn to look where I was lying, I see a sturdy shoulder and then a narrowed pair of eyes.Automatically, my lips curl into a wide smile. “ Dustin. ”“ Elita. ” His eyes nearly turn into slits.My nose scrunches as I glance at the position he is sitting in. I remember I saw him in the same spot before I fell asleep.It was daytime when I blacked out, and now it’s night. How many hours has it been?Did he stay in the same position for so long? My body fills with

    DustinI grit my jaw. I did say that. But that was when I had full control over my abilities. Now, I am not that same Dustin.I can’t protect them the way I could before. And I don’t want any of them to die on my watch. “ Times have changed and— ” I start, but Elita cuts me off.“ If you don’t understand that he wants to protect you by risking his life, his Kingdom, and everything he holds dear, then you all need to revisit your understanding of him. ” She approaches me and takes a seat beside me. “ he wants you to go back home because you can die here, and Dustin can not bear to let that happen. He is not being stubborn or stupid. He just wants…you to live and stay out of danger. ”A hand curls around my heart and squeezes it tightly. I look at the side of her face, watching as she narrows her eyes on Striker and admiring the way she looks—so fierce, so strong.“ Dustin, I know you want to protect us. But we want to do that for you too. Just like how you don’t want any of us to get

    Dustin‘ He was waiting. ’ A voice whispers inside my head, becoming clearer than the other screeches that make me wince.‘ For what? ’ I tilt my head, staring the endless sea.‘ For your return. ’ Another voice shrieks. Something has made the voices restless. I take a sip of the wine and let the taste linger on my tongue.The screeches intensify, a buzz that is impossible to ignore. The pressure on my head increases, as I grit my jaw, trying to drown out the sounds.Just when I know it’s impossible, two tiny arms wrap around my waist and a soft forehead presses on my back. A switch flips, and everything goes silent.I look down at the arms around me. My lips twitch, a warmth I am not used to spreading inside my chest.She doesn’t know what she really does to me, for me. “ I am dead… ” She mumbles in a dramatic voice.“ I know that. ” My lips curl in a smile before I can realize it.“ I have been taking care of everything for you! Do you know how hectic it is?! I couldn’t even slee

    ElitaDustin steps inside, his presence filling the room. He leans against the wall like he owns the place, his smirk lazy, daring me to react.He does own the place. It’s his favorite throne room—with a round table where he can manipulate his friends and other important guests—an alternative to the traditional one. But he has no right to smirk at me and look this good after he tricked me into leaving him behind.My blood burns in my veins. My breath comes too fast, and my hands curl into fists by my sides.“ What’s wrong? ” Dustin muses, his gaze raking over me as if he already knows that I am going to lash out. “ You tricked me into leaving… ” I snap, my voice loud with fury. “ You asked him to grab me and send me here. You forced me. I don’t like being forced.”Dustin’s smirk widens, dark amusement flickering in his gaze. He folds his arms over his chest, completely unfazed. “ I know. You can…make me pay for it. I will allow that. ”A violent shudder rolls down my back. I move tow

    ElitaI was not wrong.After Tyson, Striker appeared the next day. Their return made it easier for me to get people to listen, but it didn’t ease my worry.I was relieved that Lenora and Amelia had their mates back. But where was mine? Why did he have to send me before everyone else?I would have been fine if he had sent Tyson, then Striker, then Aleister…I wouldn’t have complained even if he had chosen to go before me.But he thought…Oh! I should let Elita suffer instead of letting her spend her days in peace.I huff as I stare out the window. Six days have passed now. The warriors are stationed in their positions. They have Vitora flower, training to fight vampires, and even the will to keep guard all the time.I have already worked with some Alphas to develop a few things they will need in the war.The Kings have gathered their men, readying the Army needed for support.Princess Avery has somehow handled her parents and made sure they don’t come out of their rooms.

    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
