The Elven King’s Forever by Devon Vesper
Fated Elves, Book 4
Can two enemies work together to save the one person they both love?
After all this time, Dustin’s transformation is nearly complete, and his happy ending is so close he can almost see it. His wedding is fast approaching, and he’s about to start school. He has his future, his lover, and his friends, and he at last believes that he can truly have it all.
Meanwhile, their old nemesis lurks in the shadows, ready to destroy any happiness Casersis might have. They knew Bradley is dangerous, but no one is prepared when he makes his move and kidnaps Dustin.
In order to rescue Dustin, Casersis must work with his old adversary, Erastus. They both love the almost-elf in very different ways, and if they can’t set aside thousands of years of hate, it’s Dustin who will pay the ultimate price.

Every step became harder than the last. Five feet into the wing, I sagged against the wall to catch my breath. Another two feet, and I stumbled and ended up on my knees. I took a deep breath to call for help, but I coughed it back out when it over-dried my already arid mouth and throat.
“Dustin?” The quiet voice made me glance up. My vision blurred with the fast motion, and I sagged back to the ground. A gloved hand searched around my neck, and the man hissed.
“Doug,” I croaked. “Help me.”
“Hold on, kid,” he said, all business. “You’ve been darted. Let’s get you into the admin office, and I’ll call Cass to get you an ambulance.”
With surprisingly gentle care, he helped me to my feet and mostly carried me down the hall in one hand, the other lifting to his mouth. “Cecily, I need a squad in the admin building. Someone notify Casersis Ardal. Dustin Juniper has been darted. Suspects are assumed armed. Get an ambulance here.”
Another voice rose over his comm, “On it. ETA five minutes for the squad.”
“Doug?” Casersis asked.
“Doug… Hawthorn.” I could barely slur my words, but Doug only shifted his grip.
“Yeah, D.J. That’s the real one,” he said. “Rather than wait it out as leave with pay, I resigned and came to work as security for the school.” He glanced down and frowned. “Hold on. We’re almost there, Dustin. We’ll get you sorted.”
“Dustin?” It took all I had to lift my head to get a blurry view of who called my name this time. I couldn’t make out the face, but whoever it was sounded concerned and wore the security vest specifying him as on my detail, rather than Casersis’s. Letting my head fall forward again, I grunted. The man spoke again. “Where are you taking him?”
“The admin office,” Doug said. “Got to get him comfortable while we wait for the ambulance. He’s been darted.” Doug paused and shifted me as gently as a father. “Help me with him, would you, Alex? This can’t be painless for him being half-dragged through the halls.”
Another set of hands grabbed me from the right and got me up. In another move, I found myself cradled against a granite chest. After a bit of shifting, I was relatively comfortable and let my body go lax.
“I’m taking him to Kevin,” Alex said. “Have the ambulance meet us at Casersis’s estate. Do you have the dart?”
Something shifted between them.
“Good. Do a sweep of the school. I want these bastards found.”
“Will do, Alex. Get him sorted.”
Alex turned and started a brisk walk. It was all I could do to stay conscious. After a few strides, Alex glanced down and sighed. “How are you still awake?” Before I could answer, he snorted. “Sloppy.” In the next instant, I felt a prick on my arm. The world spun, and the last thing I heard was Alex’s garbled voice, “That should do the trick.”

About the Author:
If there’s one thing Devon likes most, it’s chaos. She has a chaotic mind, messy house, and throws her characters into every calamitous situation possible. When she isn’t writing, she’s editing or formatting other authors’ works, building websites, creating graphics, reading, playing video games, or watching Fortnite streams on Twitch. She likes to stay busy. So yes. Chaos.
Starting in 2003, Devon turned her writing bug away from poetry and online role play in chat rooms to write her first novel. Yes, it was trash, but the process of learning to edit that piece of garbage spurred her to learn more and more. By 2013, she read an author by the name of Raythe Reign, and somehow, Raythe’s stories finally made all that learning in Devon’s mind click. She wrote her first semi-salable book in two weeks. The next in ten days, and by the beginning of 2014, had seven books written.
Were they all trash? No, but she’s in the process of rewriting them, and has already written one, turning Duty and Sacrifice into three books of a nine-book series, The God Jars Saga. Those three books were followed by more, and the last two books in the series will be published in the first quarter of 2019.
Born on a Navy base in Patuxent River, Maryland, Devon has traveled the world, living in Sigonella, Sicily for three years, and visiting many European countries before moving back to the states around the age of seven. She’s lived in Florida for sixteen years, Oklahoma for a year, and Pennsylvania for the rest. She graduated from surgical technology school near the top of her class in 2004, and uses her medical and worldly knowledge to enrich her books whenever possible. Being the worldly woman she is, and having spent most of her teens as a broody goth, Devon has four tattoos, nine piercings, loves techno, electronica, dubstep, and similar music genres, and has an incurable internet addiction.
She builds her own computers, can’t stand Mac-anything unless it’s to format books in Vellum, and purple and black are her favorite colors, though that can change to burgundy and gray depending on the day. Since she has bipolar disorder, PTSD, social anxiety disorder, general anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and has trouble leaving her house due to all that, Devon works full time as an author and editor, and spends as much time as she can talking to other authors and her readers.
