Regret

Elisabeth's point of view

" In this world, most people have two faces. One is a poker face, they used it often - while the other hidden one is the real face. To be disappointed with close people is something you'll get used to with time. Especially that you are immortal now, I believe you'll have all the time you need to learn how to survive in this awful world. You'll also be able to learn how to avoid being in a such as pain – You'll have to learn to only trust yourself. And for the ones you're talking about, I guess they're just too unlucky because they can't see how beautiful inside and outside you are."

I can't believe how lucky I am to have someone like Logan, but what is he doing here … As I was about to ask him, a familiar scent passed through me followed by a growl that got me out of guard - Liam was here …

My hybrid was rejoicing inside of my head to see her mate, while me – I can't say the same. In front of me was standing the man that broke my heart.

He wasn't looking bad, yet I can't say that he was looking good. He seemed like someone who spent the last months of his life with no sleep.

The 'Liam' I used to know was like some trendy superstar, always at his bay when it comes to his fashions and styles. The one in front of me right now has nothing to do with the old Liam I know.

His hair was messy, and he seemed to like wearing the same clothes for at least a week. His mood also seemed to not be well. And I guess it will get to the worst after meeting me.

As he was about to move toward me, Logan jumps in between us while trying to protect me.

"Leave! " Ordered Liam using his alpha tone, and like any other Lycan, Logan found himself obeying unconsciously. When Logan left, I was left alone with Liam.

I stand still not moving or showing any sort of feeling or affection, not until he moved toward me and took me into his embrace.

For the first time in a while, I don't know how I'm feeling….

I'm feeling happy, yet I'm mad... Feeling weak while I know strong, feeling love while being surrounded by hatred. I was lost in a sweat dream … but I know that I have to wake myself up before it's too late.

"Get me off you creepy creep!" I south while pulling him away from me, just like I should've done the first time he came to me.

"Elisab…" He tried to call my name, but I stopped him "Don't you dare … I'm not here to have anything to do with you. I'm not the one who would create any sort of discussion with the enemy."

"The enemy? Is that what I am to you?" He asked, and I confirmed it to him. "Exactly! You're nothing to me but an enemy."

It seems that neither he nor his Lycan was enjoying the whole talk with me since his Lycan now was trying to take control. I guess that my words hit on his nerves, the exact thing I'm looking for.

"So … you're saying that I am an enemy while spreading romance to the bastard - Elijah!" My eyes were opened as I was looking at the unlivable creature in front of me. Was he really serious? Does he think that I am one of his own belongings? Well, if he does then it's his problem, not mine.

I'm not the one who keeps on waiting for her man till he came back, once he was gone, he lost every chance he had with me.

"What? You're out of words now!" He smirked while talking to me. Well, I know exactly what I should have told him.

"Not at all … It's just that I'm not the type of girls that kiss and tell. Simply... I don't kiss and tell."

At the same time as I was speaking, the wall by my side was removed by one punch from Liam. He was now angry, and I kinda found it funny.

While watching him I decided to go further and hit on his nerves more than before. "What? Or were thinking that I was keeping myself with you while you were your time with Selena."

I expected him to get angrier than before, surprisingly he didn't. He took a step forward then he said.

"I'm regretting not choosing from the begging, I'm regretting wasting time away from you, I am also regretting all the pain I caused you …"

I couldn't let him finish what he was saying, there's no way that I would let him miss with a brain no more. "Stop … I don't want to hear a word from you. If I'm regretting anything it would be meeting you … "

He stepped another step toward me, and I took one step away.

"Elisabeth … My love. Just listen to me only once in your life. We still have time to fix everything, Selena and I are no longer together, and we can't be anymore after what happened at the coronation ceremony … Also, I'm losing my throne, I can't lose you too."

Each of his words were waking a wave of well-berried anger inside me, memories from what happened and how he was enjoying my death flipped into me. No, it's not going to happen again.

"You only want me to be with you because you lost Selena, and you're losing your throne? Am I right …?" I asked, but I didn't wait for him to answer, because I'm not ready to hear one of his lies nor give him the chance to fool me." Then tell … Let's say that I agreed to give you the chance you're looking for … What will happen to me if it all came back … The throne, Selena, the power..?"

" Nothing bad will happen to you, I promise … You'll be able to leave a happy life with me …" He was explaining, and again I found myself cutting his talk while not being able to listen to even one word from his bullshit.

"I'll be living a happy life with you! Like your mistresses or your personal maid? Ha …! Tell me …" I shouted at him. "As my mate, my queen, and my love." He told me.

I rolled my eyes and then told him what it had to be said from the beginning. "I'm not your plan 'B', I never was, and I will never be."

As I was planning to leave, I was shoved by Liam" You can't leave me!" he said, and right away he was pushed away by Elijah.

"Get your bloody hands away from her. As you've heard she doesn't want you by her side" Elijah shouts at Liam. Liam was not for sure like what had just happened. For a while, he was in his human form, the next while he was a mighty Lycan ready to tear anyone or anything in his way.

Not just Liam who was the only one to look terrifying, Elijah too on the other hand. His eyes were red like bloody moon while his fangs and caning were extremely taking away his friendly appearance, and changing it with a horrible one.

In no time, they were both on each other, each one of them was damaging the other as much as possible. Their blood was flying on everywhere.

While for me, I was standing there watching, not because I was enjoying what's happening. But because I was lost, I couldn't tell if I want or won't help both of them.

They both used me, plagued me, and lied to me. Liam was the one who hurtled me the most but still, he was my mate. While Elijah was always by my side, but only when he was trying to play me as a tool of revenge.

While watching them, the same pain that I used to feel the whole last three months - the one I was told that I fell whenever my mate cheated on me with another. I was feeling it now though my mate was in front of me, not cheating by fighting for me.

As I couldn't hold the pain anymore, I let out a scream. The scream was all I needed to force the two mighty guys in front of me to pull away from each other.

I bent on my knees not being able to stand anymore, confused I was because of what was happening in front of me.

Somehow I was no longer surrounded by Elijah or Liam. Instead, I was in the middle of a circle made by a bunch of young ladies who were chanting in a language that I had never heard in my entire life. They were all wearing white dresses covered with blood except for one of them. She was wearing a black dress. She was the only one who wasn't chanting … As she held a dagger in her hands, all of them got quiet and started watching her while moving in my way.

Too weak, I was to stand for myself that I gave up without even trying to fight …..
