Lady Rita

Can you guys believe that I'm struggling not to write king Adrian anymore but just..Adrian. It's ridiculous somehow. I've to recheck in order to know I didn't put the title.

Anyways enjoy...

Liliana Roslyn's POV.

After series of awkward silences between the human girl and I, we finally get to the place she's talking about.

When we get there, I notice that there's no guard present around and the human girl opens the door for me to enter. When I enter, she closes it behind me and I walk inside with an eerie feeling.

The room's dark because the curtains are covering the windows and it's silent. After getting to the bed area, I stop and look around. Suddenly, a sound makes me almost jump out of my skin.

Pow!

Then, it's followed by a familiar laugh. Wracking my brain, I come into conclusion.

"What the hell, Rita?!" I yell as I rush to her frame and tackle her to the ground when I try to hug her. The curtains goes up as she press a small hand-button and the ray of sunlight beams heavily into the room. Now, I can see her clearly.

"Oh my god, it's you." I yell again, still sitting on top of her on the tilted ground. "It's you. You're alive!"

"Hell yeah! It's me baby girl." She replies, straining on her words. "If you would be kind...please...get off me!"

I snicker at her straining words and stand up, pulling her hands so she can stand too.

As soon as she stands, I give her my best bear hug. "Please never go away." I murmur into her hair.

"Can't breath and if I die you wouldn't be able to tell me never to leave again." She says and I giggle.

"We have a lot to gist about."

"Yep. We do but make sure you don't kill me when I tell you my part." Rita says.

"I won't." I say.

"Maybe. We'll see." She says and we sit on the bed to talk........

Rita said that after I was taken by commander Lucas, the instructors takes them(the students) to the audition room where they meet the lieutenants of the commanders, those lieutenants chooses some of them and in that moment was she chosen by commander Oliver's lieutenant.

She said that she was literally pissing on herself when she reached his castle, her whole body was ready for death because he's known as the ruthless king. What could one expect from a ruthless king? D. E. A. T. H.

But something happened and that something is what we're discussing now.

Starting from..."I'm Oliver's beloved. His mate." Rita says.

"What?!" I yell for the thousand time today. "You're joking!"

"No, I'm not." She replies and fix her brown eyes directly on mine.

"Yes, you are." I say back. "How can you tell me that you're a mate of that ruthless commander? How do you even know? Didn't he tell you that and you believed it?"

"Yeah, you're right. He did told me but I felt it. I felt the attractiveness and caring." She says. What the hell is coming off her mouth? Has she being brainwashed?

"He's making you fantasize." Then I add. "Every human always feel the attractiveness. They're beautiful creatures and we all know that. They're bad, Rita."

Wait...should I really be the one counselling her? I don't think I'm fit for that. I'm attracted to their king and I'm also fantasizing about their king's body, and with the way we're acting to each other, it seems couple-like.

"They're not bad. It's the darkness that's bad. It's the one driving them crazy." Rita fights my words. That's true though. Didn't I say the same about Adrian? Even told him, I'm going to help him fight it.

She continue. "I always think that they're bad, monstrous people but then, I found out that they were just being driven by this so called darkness. We, humans too are being driven by it too. We're all filled with darkness. Do you have any idea what humans too have done to him and benders he loved?" She ask. "Do you?" She ask again, this time firmly.

"Did you drink his blood?" I ask, suddenly. Trying to know if it's the real Rita I once know.

"Yes. Multiple times and that's not the reason why I love or care for him. I did love him because he's a good man on the inside even though he doesn't want to show it. He's ready to change and his men are also ready to change their ways from killing us all.

"I was first afraid of him but then I found out that he's truly good. I had to force that good part of his out of him and it puts me into a lot of danger. He's a good man behind that ruthless glamour of his. Only if he can find love again and thankfully, he's find one. Why did you think most of his men are affected by the dark powers and he's not?" She looks me directly in the eye. Did she just praise, compliment and also call him monstrous name, I'm just going to push that aside.

"Because he's find his true love. His sinister side is learning how to love and not hate. Those Harlow's can't weaken him with spells." She pause. "I heard king Adrian also hasn't been affected by the Harlow's dark powers since you've become his emit." She states more of already knowing than asking and I can tell she's teasing me.

"Yeah. I guess he wasn't." I say.

"I won't say these words now but I'll later." She says and I can't even say anything to tackle her words.

On the contrary, I kind of understand her. That's it...I'm trying to make her hate commander Oliver but here I am, trying to make Adrian become a good man.

Maybe this is the answer to ending the humans suffering. Maybe this is the way to make the next generations live in peace and not born into slavery. Maybe this is the way...through mating.

Maybe God is trying to end our sufferings by mating us to the benders, especially their royals.

"Are you his second chance mate?" I ask and she smiles.

"How did you know all this terms?" Questions, Rita.

"Lucas gave me a book." Oh, my...did I just say Lucas without utilizing his title. Rita is an inter player, not intra player.

She wiggles her brows. "Someone is getting friendly with the most feared, callous and cold-hearted commander Lucas whose continent is full of pang and anguish."

I swat her shoulder, an act she did to me on the day we got separated.

"Stop." I say and she laughs.

"I'm not his second chance mate, I'm his first. I mean, he's never mated before." She replies. "Is that enough for you to know that I'm still in my right senses?"

"Yep, it is." I say and we snicker for a short moment when Rita says out of the blue.

She's dirty both subconsciously and consciously. "We're still waiting for the..um..what's it cal..."

"The prophesied moon?" I say and Rita looks, astonished.

"Cool." She says before continuing. "Yep. That thing you just said. We're waiting for it for adjoining but nevertheless, we've had sex."

Wwwwwhhhhhaaaastttt?!!

"Stop joking." I try to convince myself that I didn't just heard that.

"I'm not. We've had sex multiples of times and he's a good fucker. Oh, my...he rocks me hard as if I'm his favourite jazz."

"I've heard enough." I put up my hands to stop her from going further. "You're unpredictable. A typical firecracker you are."

"Hell yeah. I am. It's good to see your face glowing and you're skin's flawless." She says and ask. "He's healed you, right?" She's referring to Adrian. I haven't told Rita much about Adrian.

Reluctantly, I answer. "Yeah."

"Blood too?"

"Nah, I don't think so." Did Adrian give him his blood? I don't think so.

Rita nods before she suddenly checks the time and whisperingly yell. "It's time to eat. You're my guest, please follow me to my dining room. Oliver would have been expecting us." I did, following her to the dining room in amazement. Did she just say only Oliver? This is surprising. I've missed a lot. Can't believe I would see this kind of Rita. I mean, we both detest benders. Perhaps that's why God has adjoin us with benders.

One thing that calms me down is that Rita is not living her life with regrets or being chained up in some room, and neither is she being taken as a slave. As long as she's happy both on the inside and outside, it's all I need to be okay. And now, she's happy on the inside and outside. I won't take that from her because of the fact that benders are barbaric.

Even myself, I'm not of much difference to those dorkazoids at school. Apparently, both Rita and I are both dorkazoids now.

Finally, getting to the grand dining room, I now have a concrete impression that Rita is being treated nicely.

The way she's acting and doing stuffs makes me wonder, how she quickly get used to becoming friends with both the benders and humans.

The dining table is grand and fancy, as it's sculptured glassily. Series of foods are well-arranged on the dining table as fresh scent of fruits and baked foods with fragrances of soups and delicately cooked foods.

Ah, good to be here!

Rita usher me to sit on the chairs as we're now crowded. The room's filled with Adrian, commander; Lorenzo, Felix, Chris, and the ruthless man, the man of the hour, commander Oliver.

We start to pick seats and I see commander Oliver pulls Rita's seat backwards for her to sit, acting gentleman-like and at the same time, her eyes glint with amusement before she smiles at me. When she sits, commander Oliver uses his hand to bring her face heavenwards since he's at her back and he kisses her small nose.

Rita's always been blessed with small and fine features. Her body's more of different than before as I now start to access her. She's still having her cinnamon hair with her delicate, silkily soft dark almond cool undertone skin. Those black skin shines extremely adorable. Oh my... She's wearing a long plain green dress that's coupling commander Oliver's green round-neck top and grey tattered-at-the-knees jeans. Then she puts on a flip-flop sandal with a silver bracelet.

She's hot and he's hot. Maybe they're meant for each other. I pray, fate shouldn't make her regret anything.

After the kissing, which the others didn't seem affected at, I take my seat beside Adrian while Rita sits next to commander Oliver and the others sits besides one another.

When we're all set, we dive into the food and I'm wondering why and how I became someone who's eating with the royals, and sitting beside Adrian.

Don't go back to the past, Ana. Let's face the future and enjoy every present events. My subconscious says and I nod internally.

Adrian's free hand grip my thighs and I gasp, making the spoonful Pho soup with rice noodles I'm taking, shakes in my hand. I glare at him, he knows the amount of effect he has on me and he's doing this?

"What are you doing?" I say in my head, knowing he should be reading my head.

"Touching my emit." He answers, grinning on the outside.

"Well, this emit doesn't want you to touch her."

"Well, that emit can't decide for me." Now, he's glaring at me and I don't want others to know, so I try to stop the conversation once and for all.

"Well, she can and she will!" I push his hand away. I think I actually acted on the outside because the soup bowl vibrates under my touch and sprinkle onto the table.

Adrian hurriedly cleans off the mess for me with the handkerchief in his chest pocket and I can see Rita from the corner of my eyes, looking at our interaction from her sit. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid.

While king Adrian was cleaning the table, his hands chucks my shoulder and I glare at him harsher. Why is he doing this?

"Hey, you don't need to do that. The slaves will." Commander Oliver says and he turns his head to a side before hand-gesturing for someone to clean up the place fully and pour me another bowl.

Once the cleaning is done while Adrian is grinning, a masculine hand passes me another set of bowl before going to the opposite side of the table to pass the ketchup to commander Lorenzo....did I just see a masculine hand?!!!

As the slave takes the ketchup and gives it to commander Lorenzo, I almost gasp externally. It's a male. Like for real. A male human!!

A fucking male human!!! Oh, my...freaking...what the heck?!

First of all, I've never seen a human male before, you know the academy is filled with only females and the only thing I'll say that I've seen in male humans are their pictures and videos of dicks which is used during the dator's training. I think some calls those pics and videos, pornography or something. King Adrian's place too only house one gender which is females. So, you can say...I'm amazed to see them face to face. Like for real!!

All I'm trying to explain is that it amazes me that I'm looking at a real male human; having a light blonde hair that's well combed to the back and is shining under the chandelier. He has a tanned, sandy skin that compliments his grey eyes and bring out his muscled chest and...is that an eight packs. Oh, my...he can be mistaken as a bender or a god. He's like a god. Perhaps, he is one.

His skin is flawless and well taken care of, like he's never been beaten and he's too handsome. All his features are attractive to one's sight. He's well kept and clean. Being that he's shirtless makes the long black pant-trouser he's wearing goes low, his waist and sharpened v-line is well exposed and everything about him just amazes me.

I think, I'm even drooling on him. Maybe a crush. Can't blame me since this is the first male, I'll ever see.

Since I couldn't snatched my eyes from him and finding out that his eyes are fixated on me with his lips twitching upwards, I smile back or rather giggle affectionately.

Before I know, I'm lost into staring at him again but a loud, eerie and vibrating sound snatches me abruptly off the guy's body.

Looking to my side, I'm met by an intense hazel glow that makes me drop my gaze. It hurts.

The loud, eerie and vibrating sound threatens and next I hear it say is..."you're dead!" Before, its owner turns into gas form and catches the guy by his throat as soon as he reforms.

This is bad! Another human death because of me! Ain't possible! Adrian's pissed. Badly pissed!
