I charge in and swing my sword to the left, cutting off two heads in the process. A few of them try to fight back, and those are the ones that die first. The ones that try to run have their heads ripped off by Luocre, who joined me in here only after everyone in the main room was dead.
Nothing compares to the feeling that killing gives me, except for maybe the way that Brielle looks at me. Or the way her lips feel against mine. Or the noises she made when she came on my fingers all those weeks ago.
I kill the last ten elves with my arrows, before approaching the table and ripping off the restraints on the Miou. I feel for a pulse, and he’s alive, but barely. They definitely fed him some numiscu berries. Credit to them for being able to find some. He’ll survive.
Luocre throws the Miou over his shoulder and begins walking out.
Once outside, we go our separate ways. Part of me wants to go check on Brielle, but the adrenaline from those kills leaves me needing more, so instead, I set off to find my next victim.

BRIELLE
Istare after him as he walks away, utterly shocked at the things he just said to me. My face burns up as I think about it.
“I haven’t been able to stop thinking about your taste since the first time I made you come. I stay up all night imagining what it would be like to shove my head between your thighs and let you ride my face while I devour you. Would you like that, brave one?”
I would’ve told him that yes, I would like that, except he didn’t even let me answer him before moving on. But I would’ve done it right there in the woods if he had asked me to.
“What if I tied you up? Are you brave enough for that? What if you were bound by your wrists and ankles, completely at my mercy? Could you handle that? Would you like what I’d do to you once you were unable to run away from me?”
I only wish he had told me what it was he would do to me. Gods, it’s all I care about right now. The inside of my thighs are sticky and absolutelysoaked, but I need to pull it together. Now is not the time to be thinking about what he’d do with me behind closed doors.
Sighing, I walk towards my building.
This is so bad. I’m in such deep shit, and I have no idea how to get out of it, or if I even want to get out of it. But how can I let this happen? It’s not like this is going to last. Sure, Thali’s obsessed with me now, but I know how dark elves are. Easily distracted.
As I reach for the handle to open the front door, something on my hand glints in the setting sunlight.Fuck, it’s the ring. How did he get it on me without me noticing? Am I really that oblivious? I guess I am since I didn’t notice a sickeningly gorgeous dark elf stalking me for weeks.
I try to slide the ring off, but it’s stuck. Of course, it is. Putting things on me that can’t come off seems to be his new favorite hobby. I would be mad, but the ring is absolutely beautiful. It’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever owned, and besides, it’s not like it’s hurting me.
Sure, the collar pinches a little sometimes and I haven’t been able to take a full breath since he put it on me, but I kind of like that. It’s a reminder of him, and somehow that has become a good thing.
Not only that, but the pride radiating off of Thali every time he looked at the collar made me feel so special. And the way he praised me for wearing it?
“You look exquisite in your collar.”
I could barely look him in the eyes when he said it, it made me feel so vulnerable in such a good way. Something I’ve never felt before.
“I had it specially made just for you.”
Yeah, I am so fucked. This is so wrong on so many levels.
The humansshouldkill me for this. They’d have every right to. But what would Thali do to them when he found out? I shiver at the thought. Just another reason that they can’t find out about this, even Riya.EspeciallyRiya.
I open the door and walk inside, making my way down the hall to my room. How can I just go to sleep now, after the excitement of this afternoon? A horrible part of me wishes he would come back after…whatever it is he went off to do and finish what he started. Where would the night have gone if we hadn’t been interrupted?
When I reach my room and open the door, it’s like déjà vu. Riya is standing there, arms crossed again. And this time she looks visibly hurt.Fuck.
“I came to ask you if you wanted to go for a walk with me, and you were gone. We walked home together, so I know you were here. But you never said anything about leaving. I’ve been worried sick. I almost asked Silas to go looking for you.”
“Why are you so worried about me lately? Why would you have any reason to think I’m in danger?”
I’m not mad at her, I know that this all comes from a good place. But it is slightly annoying that she’s always in my business lately.
She pauses, blinking at me.
“Because, Brielle. Have you been paying any attention at all? Gods, what is up with you lately?”
