Elias At Salome Novels & Stories

He shouted for the butler, his voice raw, commanding, but his hands stayed firm on me, grounding me against the storm of my body. Elias stood where he was, his expression unreadable, though his eyes—his eyes burned with something I couldn’t name. Not pity. Not shock. Something else entirely. The study spun, thunder crashing, rain pounding, my pulse collapsing into chaos. And somewhere in the haze of pain and fear, I caught the faintest curve of Elias’s lips. A smile. And in that moment, through the ache twisting my body, one truth pierced clearer than the storm: Elias hadn’t come back for Luca.

His face was calm, practiced; his eyes—flat, obsidian knives Soren once fell into—found him and did not look away. “It’s been a long time, darling,” Elias said, voice smooth and dangerous, velvet stretched over steel. “I thought you’d be wiser by now. But here you are, still clinging to scraps. To him.” His gaze slid toward Travian, cool disdain knitting his brow. “Pathetic.” Soren’s throat tightened. A tremor lived in his hands. He tried to speak and only a strained whisper came out. “What… what are you doing here?”

“Elijah Darius, and as I said, he has great evidence to back his claim... if he didn't, I wouldn't be poking a bear with a stick... So stay in Syldavia, and make our job easier, okay?” The name, “Elijah,” hit Elmer like a hammer right in his chest, it felt like being struck by a truck at full speed, knocking every breath in his lungs along with the last drops of air as reality settled in and he went quiet immediately, his eyes freezing open. Seeing the look of doom on Elmer's face, Mr. Bamford shook his head before walking off with his men, and just like that, the five young girls and Elmer's buddies stood from the couch, hurrying off like he had become a taboo and they should have no busine

The sound of tire on the driveway. Salome sat up straight and breathed, “That is a surprise! I was not expecting Lucas today.” She got up and went to the window. She peeked through the curtains. “It is Lucas!” She said excitedly. Then her voice changed. “He came with Andre. And….it looks like someone else is in the car with them.” Lydia groaned. “Please do not let it be Elara.” Salome looked back at me with a strange look in her eyes. Worried. “Let us go see,” she said softly.

she whispered, “is your first lesson in temptation.” The Study Becomes Sinful The late afternoon sun streamed through the tall windows, casting golden lines across the study room. Elias sat stiffly at the desk, hands folded over his open Bible, pretending to read. But he wasn’t reading. Not really. Every movement Selene made pulled his attention like a magnet. She moved behind him, fingers grazing the edge of the pages as she leaned close to point out a correction. Her scent subtle, intoxicating filled the space between them. His back stiffened, and his pulse raced.

Selena took a careful step back. Murmurs of worry rippled through the audience. Compared to when he had sparred with Frederick, Elias' power now seemed even greater. There was no doubt that he was angry. Could a delicate woman like Selena truly withstand sparring with him? It looked like she would shatter after one strike! Sebastian and Sally watched anxiously from the foot of the platform. That single strike of the spear just now made it clear to everyone that Elias was no longer amused. "Lady Campbell, I will grant you three moves. Draw your weapon and begin," the Dawnmerian prince said coolly.

What was he playing at? “I didn’t know you had such a ha–young uncle, Eli! Can you introduce me to him?” The redhead beside Elias requested. I had noticed the way she had been looking at me the moment I turned around and it disgusted the fuck out of me. Is this the type of woman that Elias left Sophia for? Is he crazy? Soph was gorgeous, elegant, hot, sexy, you name it. Elias must have been blind to choose this redhead who looked like she was for the streets.

Selene's power surged, ready to strike him. "I swear, I’ll kill you. But before that, I’ll inflict so much pain on you that you’ll regret ever coming into my room and seeing me naked!" She screamed furiously. But Elias wasn’t scared. "I only came to check the mark. I already saw what I came for. Stop overreacting," Elias said. Immediately, a furious Selene hurled an invisible force at him to strangle him, but he dodged. However, she wasn’t stopping. "I’ll kill you!" Before Selene could summon her power again, Elias said the last thing she ever expected before vanishing from the room.

“Of course you are sweetheart but no, you were my wife for a reason. For my gain. Now it's time for you to meet your mother.” “No, no, Elias you can't do this, please. Don't do this. I've never done anything wrong to you, have I?” “Well, you did. You wronged me by coming into this life, dammit,” he yelled, his smirk disappearing and his face turned serious. But that was only for a minute because, in the next, he smiled again. “Enough of these emotional, emotional, stupid talks. Your last prayer is done right…. Goodbye. Wife.”
