Eris, the Alpha of silence.

Chapter 15

Eris gently rubbed the sore spot on her neck, Calysta didn't need to cut so deep, it was quite the annoyance really, she glanced in her direction only to see her with her head down. She knew it wasn't her fault, after all, she was sure Axis first came with the proposal and poor Calysta only followed his steps.

"Please, King Romanov, let's go back to Alpha Eris's office so we could explain everything" said Calysta while moving towards the entrance of the pack house.

King Romanov, still bewildered by what happened barely registered what Calysta said, his feet moving on their own accord towards the office.

Eris seeing an opportunity, took the dagger that her Beta wanted to slice her throat with, which conveniently was a few steps behind her, and turned towards him, stabbing him in the heart with it before slicing his throat.

She knew he would heal and after all, he deserved it so she decided to leave him there, someone would see him and take him to the pack doctor. With a short sigh and a roll of her eyes so far she thought she saw stars, she turned on her heel and walked towards her office.

"- and that's exactly what Beta Axis was talking about ." She heard Calysta's voice which no doubt meant she already explained everything which made Eris glad to have her as her Gamma, she couldn't think of anyone better for the title.

Entering the office she resumed looking for the folder and the key, she knew she put them somewhere in her office yet she couldn't remember the exact location for the life of her.

While rummaging through her desk she heard King Romanov call out her name but before she could turn to answer, she saw a key glinting in the sun. With a quick shake of her head she took it and opened the drawer underneath it, finding exactly what she was looking for.

Gamma Calysta glanced in her Alpha's direction, noticing her discovery, her face turning from playful to stone hard in a matter of seconds.

"Alpha, are you sure?" She questioned once again, needing her leader's reassurance.

Eris only nodded her head in slow motion, as if she was trying to make Calysta understand that her decision was final.

Calysta nodded as well before explaining "My King, we are ready to show you but we have one slight problem, you can't come down there with anyone else besides Beta Aziz, my Alpha and I promise on our pack lands that no harm will come to you but I repeat, your warriors can't join us."

King Romanov understood the situation and trusted Alpha Eris enough to believe what her Gamma was saying was true. He turned to his warriors and ordered "Stand down, without any further order, I want you to stay here and wait, if I do mind link you to come, then you are free to move, otherwise stay put."

With those last words, the four of them left the office, King Romanov and Beta Aziz staying behind the two women, allowing them to lead the way.

Eris had to mentally prepare herself for what was to come, she knew whenever she went down there, her primal instincts were to haunt and torture, she couldn't help it, her bloodlust came to life whenever she was close to that part of her territory but that wasn't what was troubling her, no, she knew it would be Calysta's first time ever to join her inside and she didn't know what would be her Gamma's reaction. She was aware of the prison but she has never been in it, Eris wouldn't allow it but this was different, after today the whole place wouldn't be a secret anymore, to the four of them at least.

Calysta was just as curious as she was scared, she knew the exact location of the place but she's never been able to enter it and believe her, she tried countless of times.
