Changing Fate for the Alpha King 50
ElitaOne moment, it feels like…I am about to be wrecked.But then, another moment, a harsh knock sounds on the door. The tense air between us thickens as Dustin keeps his eyes on me, just watching me, holding my breath from close.Annoyance surges through my head, but that knock brings me back to my senses. Suddenly, I can think again, and what I am thinking is not good at all.Were we going to end up having sex if no one knocked on the door? I swallow my saliva, my breath hitching in my throat.Another knock follows, louder and harder than before. It’s like whoever is on the other side of the door needs us to step out immediately.Dustin’s grip on my arms loosen. A frown etches between his brows, his haze losing its heat and turning unfocused.“ I didn’t…notice. ” He mumbles, more to himself than to me.My heartbeat picks its pace again. I exhale a sharp breath, scanning his conflicted expressions. That’s when my gaze lands on his ruffled hair and open collar. He looks so disheveled

ElitaShortly after Dustin leaves, Felicity comes to get me. Her eyes scream confusion at my disheveled state, but she doesn’t say a word. She leads me to Lana’s room—my old room and helps me change into a different dress.I stare at her as she zips up the plain, blue gown that falls to my ankles and is made of silk. She must be thinking that I am Dustin’s side piece or something. I want to tell her that it’s not like this, but…why do I even care? She can think of anything she wants. But…for some reason, my mind is unable to accept that rational thought. More annoyance fills my mind, and I pull away.“ I am tired. I want to rest so you should go. ” Felicity’s eyes lift to my gaze in the mirror for a second. I narrow my eyes, letting her know that I am dead serious.She nods and, without saying a word, rushes out of the room. When the sound of the door closing reaches my ears, my shoulders stiffen.She is acting so hostile. Did she like Lana so much already? I walk towards the win

Elita“ What do you mean, Dustin? Will you at least tell me? ” I whip around and follow in his steps. Did Levian go to the South again? Is Princess Avery’s life in danger? But if that’s the case, why is Dustin so calm? My brows furrow in confusion as he keeps walking, and I jog to keep up with his long strides.“ You do not need to be like this with me. ” I say when he doesn’t talk. “ if you just tell me what’s wrong, I can find a way out of it. I know the enemy more than you ever will, Dustin. ”This has him stopping in his tracks. I pause beside him, my heart missing a beat.“ I know everything that he thinks, everything he can and can not do. I have spent so much time with him, learning everything he knows. ” I whisper, thinking it’s the best way to convince him.But to my surprise, my words bring a smirk on his lips. Dustin glances my way, his eyes shining with something I can’t understand.“ No one in this world knows everything. You are no exception. And if you think you are

ElitaSilence becomes the only refuge as we move in the darkness of the night. I don’t ask him any questions, just glance behind to notice a few horses following.We are not…on that kind of secret mission where we have to leave the warriors behind, I guess.“ I had relocated them to the Pack that was nearest to the Wolveshire Citadel. ” Dustin breaks the uncomfortable silence. His lips brush against the shell of my ear with each word. I shudder and instinctively curl my hands into fists. “ You said it was not about my family… ”“ That’s right. It’s because he doesn’t know what I am hiding yet. ” Dustin leans closer and breathes into my ear.I swallow and stop myself from trembling. He is so close—too close, and it reminds me of what we were about to do just a little time ago.The heat of his mouth is still fresh on my skin. And I can feel my lips tingling with his minty taste. “ What…are you…hiding? ” I murmur in a trance.“ I am hiding a lot. If I tell you about everything I am hid
Changing Fate for the Alpha King The Past
ElitaA long time ago, when the Moon Goddess bestowed the gift of turning into a wolf on some chosen humans…she thought she chose everyone carefully.Five houses received that blessing after worshipping her for centuries. House Skoldofr was the House of the protector Lycan—a Lycan who could control fire. People thought it was the first House that received that blessing from the Moon Goddess.House Murdoch followed with a Lycan who vowed to be kind and calm—A Lycan who could control the Earth’s elements. He could move things that resided deep underground and everything that connected to the soil. House Anasazi was the third house that gained the powers and blessings of turning into a Lycan. The Lycan of that House was the protector of the night. He could control minds, shadows, and the dead. Everything about him was connected to the dark, to the shadows that spoke to him.Then came House Landric. An arrogant Lycan who was given the power to heal others—to do the only thing he didn’t

ElitaI snap out of my thoughts when we enter the Wolveshire Citadel again. The night has darkened, and it seems like a thick fog has started surrounding us.“ I don’t understand… ” I whisper as Dustin grabs my waist.“ What is so hard to understand? ” He shrugs, hoisting me up and putting me on my feet on the ground effortlessly.I stagger, still dazed about what I saw and now know. My neck cranes, my eyes meeting his calm face.“ Why did you keep him in plain sight? Does he know who he is? How—why…I don’t understand anything, Dustin. How did Levian know to take him? ” I blurt, my breaths growing ragged.Panic is beginning to settle in my bones. I don’t want to, but I am beginning to shake. A sense of urgency, or more like a sense of crisis, overtakes my mind. I have to come up with a way to change the direction in which things are heading right now.Dustin jumps and stands before me. Our eyes meet, and my breath catches in my throat. I didn’t notice it before.He has curled back in

ElitaSometimes…You just don’t understand what you are feeling, thinking, or supposed to be doing.At a moment like that…It all feels like a joke.That’s right.“ I didn’t think you were someone who liked to pull such pranks. ” I mumble, looking down at the open diary.A cold breeze coming from the open window sways the pages, making them flip and display several other drawings of the same girl.A girl who has my face.It’s surreal.How do you recognize yourself from a faded drawing? But…these are no ordinary drawings. It feels like someone has drawn the sharp lines of my face with perfection, carefully outlining everything to match my features. My eyes—a dark, sparkling blue color is the only color that has not faded and turned yellow or brown. The contrast of that bright color against the old, dead papers…does something to my heart. Without realizing it, I touch my chest. A light pain starts deep inside somewhere.“ This is…not funny, Dustin. ” I whisper under my breath, trying

Elita“ Do you want to know something…Dustin? ” I look down at my hand, silently acknowledging that something has changed inside me. I am not the same girl who came to this world with a single goal and an unwavering determination.I have fallen weak and allowed emotions to take hold of my dead heart again.“ Levian watched me die and didn’t do anything. He wouldn’t do that to me if I had anything to do with his mate, right? ” I whisper.“ It couldn’t have been the first time for him. He must have sensed your desire for death and let you have it. Again. ” Dustin clears the remaining doubt with a single answer.My hold tightens over the knob, and the cold metal bites into my skin. I grit my jaw, stopping myself from trembling.The distant memory comes haunting me again. After I ruined Levian’s plan to revive his son…He came to see me. For the last time.For the first time since I met him and believed in his lie that we were mates, he grabbed my arms and shook me, yelled at me, kept rep

ElitaThe veil of darkness falls around me again. She is gone. She turned to dust right before my eyes, and even that dust disappeared.I…I don’t know what to think.So, I stare at the spot she was in. What just happened?Did her soul just…perish? Is this what people call finally leaving the world and moving to the afterlife? When I first entered this place in my dream, I thought this was it—the place I would end up in after dying. But it turns out I am wrong.There is more—something unpredictable, probably scarier awaiting me.For the first time since I have entered this strange state in which I am neither dead nor alive…I feel fear of the unknown, of what awaits me at the end of this journey.And I realize…I…I…really don’t…I…I can’t bring myself to even think of those words. If I think, someday, I might say them too.I don’t want that. Because this is my retribution. And I don’t deserve to voice out my fear for it.“ You are both stubborn. ” A familiar voice echoes through the e

Elita“ Soline. ” I mumble to myself.And my chest aches again. It’s like someone is gripping my heart, threatening to rip it apart if I dare say that name.What kind of joke is this now?I move towards the bed in the room and pause. I have been having a hard time convincing myself to sit.How long has it been?I stare at the clean black sheets. My muscles stiffen. And like before, I walk back to the window and stare out.This room feels too familiar, and it’s grating on my nerves. I can escape from seeing Levian’s face, but can I escape from the memories that haunt me? Everything about this place, about him, about this room… reminds me of things that seem to have happened ages ago.It’s like I am trying to see my life from a distance, with a detached view…but I am unable to do it. Levian used to say memories are a curse. I didn’t agree back then. No matter what, I wanted to remember my life, my siblings, the destruction I was a part of.But now…I agree with him.If people just forg

ElitaThe silence after my words feels like the sharp edge of a knife. It slices through the space between us, heavy and suffocating. I take my hand off his wrist and pull it back to my lap.Levian doesn’t move. Not a single muscle twitches as if my declaration left him frozen. But I know better. Levian never freezes. He calculates, measures, and waits until his opponent makes the wrong move. It’s always been like that with him. His eyes stay locked on me, and I can feel the weight of his gaze pressing against my skin, searching for a crack, a tell, anything to understand why I hate him so much.But he won’t find an answer. And until he doesn’t find an answer, he will remain distracted.That’s what I wanted, and he is playing right into my hands. “ Monster? ” He repeats, his voice deceptively soft, the kind of soft that feels like the calm before a storm.“ Yes. ” I reply, my tone steady even as my hands tremble in my lap. “ You destroy everything you touch, Levian. You are aimi

ElitaWho are you? Such a vague question.I couldn’t say I was Elita because he must have sensed foul play already.I couldn’t say Lana either…because that’s not who I am.And then…I didn’t know what his mate’s name was, so I couldn’t use that as an emotional trap to get out of this stupid situation.That's why, I kept my mouth shut and didn’t say a word to answer it.But Levian was lenient. That’s why now I am inside the small cottage, sitting on a chair while he stands close to the window in the distance, looking out at the woods.“ The little kid has learned how to use emotional traps to get what he wants. ” His deep voice echoes in the silence of the place.I flinch, gripping my dress harder. When he stays silent, I can pretend I am not even here and feel alienated…almost numb.But hearing his voice brings me back to the same spot. I am here, on this cold night, alone…With the man who hurt me more than anyone will ever do again.And the man I came to save has fled with someone el

TysonI have known Dustin since I was a naive little child, living in a colorful, bright world of my own. This makes me privileged—because I can tell when something is not right with him.But it’s not often. Dustin is like a block of ice that never cracks. He holds everything inside, pretends to be a jerk, and does everything in silence—plans in silence, suffers in silence, gets back on his feet in silence.I have never doubted that he will not stay down for a long time. Except for one time before and this time.A long time ago, he told me that if he dies, we all must not die with him. He said he would have to do something, sacrifice something that he holds dear to his heart. That time, he went ahead and offered his precious little sister to an enemy King. Everyone saw his action. How could a brother just trade his sister like this? He was criticized for a long time by Striker, Nora, and Amelia, and that also drove a permanent wedge between him and his sister. But I have never felt

ElitaLevian lets out a quiet laugh, the sound dripping with mockery. “ Your courage is almost amusing. I thought you were the clever one among the Kings, Dustin. But maybe you are pretending to be more cunning than you are. Sending someone important like him on missions when you know how dangerous it is. Purely reckless…foolish. ”I grip the bark harder, my nails biting into it. My breath feels too loud, too fast, like it’s betraying me. This is not good. My stomach clenches into knots. Dustin’s calm voice cuts through the rising tension. “ what can I say? I was distracted by a little bird. ”Levian tilts his head, his piercing gaze sharpening as it flicks to Dustin’s warriors. “ You must still be enchanted to think you can come here with a few of your warriors and get him back. ” The weight of his words feels suffocating, but Dustin doesn’t flinch. Instead, he glances at his men, a silent command passing between them. “ I know what I am doing. ” Dustin looks ahead.“ Do you?

ElitaThe fog wraps around me, curling like cold fingers against my skin. Every step I take feels muffled, swallowed by the eerie silence of the woods. It’s unsettling. No rustle of leaves, no crack of a branch. Just me, the fog, and this unbearable quiet. Something feels…wrong. I pause, my breath hitching. I should have encountered some vampires by now, or at least some sign of them. But the forest is empty—too empty. My senses tingle, my pulse hammering against my ribs. But then I glance up at the moon, shining bright and full.Right. Full moons are for their parties. The so-called “festival” where vampires and humans come together for deals, bargains, and blood. It seems Dustin knew this, too. But how does he always know the inside information?My feet move faster now, guided by an urgency I can’t explain. The trees thin out, and that’s when I see it. The cottage. It’s exactly how I remember it—small, tucked into the clearing like it’s hiding from the world. But I know

Elita“ Someone will know we are trespassing before we reach our destination. ” I blurt, panic bubbling in my throat.I can feel my body beginning to vibrate, my pupils dilating, and my mind racing with thoughts again.This is a bad idea. A very bad idea.So, to make this idea a not-so-bad idea, I want to believe he has a plan.I glance at his face from over my shoulder and unconsciously lean back into his chest.“ What is our plan? Why won’t you tell me? ” I hum, feeling his chest rumble against my back.I silently memorize every sensation he makes me feel when we are pressed together.“ Drink this, and when we reach there, hide. ” Dustin pushes his hand forth and offers me a small bottle filled with a colorless potion.I sigh. “ Dustin— ”“ And don’t ask any questions. ” He interrupts.I want to lash out and continue asking questions even when he said I shouldn’t. But…Given that we will be fighting with an enemy later, fighting with him right now doesn’t feel like a good idea to me

Elita“ You should have told me sooner, Ms. Folke. It’s far better than pretending to want you and playing house with you. ” Dustin says, without hesitation, without even a hint of any insincerity in his eyes.“ Oh. ” My lips form an O. “ So you were pretending? ”I feel like laughing. It’s nothing new, anyway. Many people have pretended to be something else just to use me. By now…I am used to it.Because how can anyone want someone like me? A girl is supposed to be sweet, innocent, and naive. I am anything but that. I am filled with darkness inside out, and perhaps people can spot that darkness when they look at me. That’s when they decide—she is not worth it.Or maybe it’s not about how I am unladylike. It must be the desperation to be wanted by someone. It must be leaking from every pore of my body and surrounding me like a visible layer. She is desperate. Let’s use her. That must be what always goes through everyone’s mind.He starts again, just on the verge of saying more hurt
