Chapter 101: Stronger Than Him

I am considering ways to taunt Darius while breaking out of his hold. My mind isn't focused on one topic; it's all over, and Winter isn't helping with her obsessing about Hades.

"Is your wolf Hades?" It has to be.

"Focus Elara. Okay, focus on your wolf, feel Winter's strength, pull it through you, to part of your body to get free."

Closing my eyes, I try to focus, and I can feel it. It's so different. I move suddenly without even realising. He groans as I throw him down and straddle him.

"How the hell?" He stares at me in shock. "Elara, that's not possible."

I smile at him. "What isn't? You told me to break free."

"Yes, break free, not throw me to the ground." He's staring at me like Kellan does before he calls me an alien.

"I'm not an alien!"

He chuckles. "No, but you're something. You're stronger than me. Anyone else wouldn't have been able to do that. Break free, yes, but throw me down?"

"You said I would be stronger because my wolf isn't controlled yet." They all said it.

"We meant Winter's strength would flow through you, which would make you strong, not this strong. I assumed Kellan just hadn't positioned himself well enough when he said you knocked him down."

He's staring at me like I'm an alien, or maybe not? I don't know, and Winter keeps saying 'mine' like Darius is a fucking snack. He's not, or maybe he is? God, I don't even know what is going on in my own mind right now.

He grabs me and kisses me, and my mind silences. My only focus is him and the feeling of him and his wolf. I fight to pull his clothes off as his body moves, and he rolls above until he's above me. His mouth moves and kisses down my neck. My hands pull my top off as his head lowers.

His mouth reaches my breast, my body pushes up to him as he bites against my nipple, his hips move, and I feel his cock rubbing against my core. My hands move down his body to fight to remove his trousers.

He pulls back suddenly. "Sorry, I don't know what happened." His eyes seem to refocus before dropping to my breasts. My hand snakes around his neck and pulls him to me, and I hear him groan against my mouth.

My hands move back to his trousers. This time, he doesn't stop me. The word mine growled from within him as I fight to get us both naked, and he refuses to let our mouths fall apart.

I'm already crying out in pleasure, and he's barely touched me. The knock has him freeze, both of us panting and out of breath. I bite against my lip and hear the knocking again.

"Alpha Prime Darius. We've had another sighting of the woman." His body freezes, and he stands, getting ready. I begin to put my clothes back on. He groans when he realises I ripped my top.

"In my defence, Winter said it was in the way." He groans and throws his top at me. As I pull it on, he walks to the door and opens it.

"What?" His word is loud. "Where was this person seen?" I walk over now.

"She was in the kitchen and ran when a maid realised it wasn't her."

So, we still have someone here pretending to be me?

"She also appears to have assaulted one of the maids in front of the camera." My eyes widened.

"Yori, escort Elara to Sage's room and stay there. Make sure it is actually Sage." Darius walks out, and I follow. Yori stays close to me as he guides me upstairs.

Stopping outside Sage's room, he knocks. I watch the door open.

"Sage." He looks at her.

"Yes, Beta Yori?" She glances from him to me. "Did something happen? Wait, cucumber." I laugh, and she joins in.

"I don't even want to know. I guess that means you know it's her." He steps back, and I walk in.

"Apparently, I have another person mimicking me. They attacked a maid in front of the cameras."

Her eyes widened. "Well, right now, I want to talk about you and Kellan and also you and Darius." She pulls me in, and I sit.

"It's only so long before the others realise they are both your mates. I mean, if they can keep enough distance from you around them, maybe not. Still, what is happening?"

"I don't know." I don't, Kellan had already said he was picking me. Darius? I've no idea.

"Okay, what happened last night? You and Kellan were meant to go for a sprint, not a marathon." She gets comfy and waits.

"We ran, or rather I ran, and he followed. I thought it was quick, but apparently it wasn't. I heard Zeus in my head telling me to stop. I didn't get a chance to; Winter forced me to. Then I tried to sense him and find him. I did, and I hurt him in the process."

"You hurt Kellan?" She sits shocked.

"Apparently so. I jumped on him and knocked him back quite far. Then, well, I shifted back to check he was okay, and one thing led to another, which is crazy as we were in snow, but it didn't feel cold."

"Wait, you slept with Kellan in the snow?" I nod at her words, and she laughs. "Could you not have waited to get to a bed?"

"He refuses in the bed. Apparently, he doesn't in the snow." We both laugh at that.

"And Darius?" She waits, and I consider it.

"I don't know, he's changed, and I do feel like he's accepted me. I hurt him as well."

"You hurt Darius? The King? The strongest werewolf?"

"I don't know how, and even he was shocked. He had me in a hold and told me to break free. I focused and, well, threw him to the floor and climbed on him."

"Then you two had sex in the gym."

"Almost, someone knocked. Still, I hurt him, and he said I shouldn't be able to take him down, but I did, and it was easy."

She sits laughing. "Did you pay attention yesterday at your event?" My head shakes. "There were many wolves there trying to take him down. None could. Even Kellan couldn't."

"I didn't see." After the first bit, I focused on Sage and tried to avoid seeing Darius and Kellan as much as possible.

"Yeah, Kellan and Darius got involved. So, the fact you managed to take him down is weird. He's meant to be the strongest Elara." So what does that mean? If he's meant to be the strongest, but I overpowered him?

"I'm an alien." It's official; we both laugh, but it's the best thing I can use as an excuse for why things are how they are.
