Eris, the Alpha of silence.

Chapter 19

Exiting the cells, Eris felts chills run down her back, she knew who was there.

Annoyed with being disturbed twice in the same day by those creatures, Eris turned as fast as lightning towards him and held him up again a tree with her bare hand.

Ezra put his hands up in surrender.

"I didn't know you liked being so rough, love." His deep, smooth voice spoke.

Eris's eyes were blazing, her normally dark pupils turning a crimson red and her mouth curled up to reveal long, sharp fangs.

Her thoughts were running wild and King Ezra couldn't pick up on anything else than the word "kill" which to say the least, was unnerving.

He raised his hands up in surrender, as much as he could and looked straight at her, his crimson red eyes changing to a jet black color.

"I'm quite sorry to disturb you but I felt your beast come out earlier and decided to pay a visit to an old friend, I did not know you would be so annoyed mi cielo."

Although Eris heard him, she still didn't care for his words, she tried snapping his neck, which as usual, didn't happen, Ezra quickly pulled his hands from her hold and reached around her, holding her tightly.

"I thought we already discussed this love, you can't snap my neck. I for once am not the King of Vampires in vain. While it is a good cat and mouse game between us, I dislike having my neck snapped, even if it is by your beautiful hands. Once was enough for me." He spoke lowly in her ear, dragging his nose up her throat, inhaling her addictive scent.

All that was heard, was a low hum in Eris's throat, her thoughts finally calming and her body relaxing in his embrace. She leaned her head to the side, allowing him to kiss her neck slowly. She did enjoy, after all, the attention.

Ezra continued trailing little kisses up and down her throat, his body humming in pleasure at holding her so close, at one point he stopped, turned her around and looked into her eyes, his hands moving up to touch her face.

"The way you make me feel whenever you are around me is confusing, your presence while divine is also a burst of emotions for me, the way your soft body feels in my arms makes me want to take you away from this world and hold you forever while your actions show me how independent you are and how you do not need me in any way shape or form. You are such an enigma my beautiful Eris, a woman with a dark past but still such a bright future, if you want it to be.
You can do anything and nothing all at once. I want to treat you like the queen you deserve to be yet you don't allow me to and I do wonder why. What stops you from having me wholly."

Eris's face did not indicate anything but her heart started beating a little harder than usual, and she hated that. His words made her feel alive in a way she never felt, she couldn't comprehend why, it was all new to her and unknown and she hated unknown.

She stepped back from his arms and he allowed that, he took a step back as well.

"I will wait for you forever my soul but I do beg of you that you do not make wait that long." Were his last words before disappearing, leaving Eris once again all alone, as she's used to.

The walk back to her house was filled with unwanted thoughts and unanswered questions. On the inside she felt somewhat weird while on the outside she looked as cold as ever so when she entered her office in the middle of a fight, and everything stopped, she knew why.

Calysta couldn't wait for her Alpha to finally make an appearance. Everyone wanted answers she didn't have. She tried explaining as much as she could but it was obvious that she didn't know everything which meant that a fight was unavoidable.

So when Beta Aziz started arguing with Beta Axis she wanted to pull her hair out.

"The Alpha King and his Beta want to know why you're still holding him." Beta Axis was the one to break the silence.

The only thing Eris did, was to nod, and that was enough for him to explain.

"As you all know, he was the mastermind behind the whole operation and the facility, while Eris did finish off almost everyone there, she unknowingly saved another person besides herself and him, his second hand, which from what I understood, you've already met. The problem was that she didn't know, in the beginning, she thought that he was the only survivor up until one day in which orange eyes started talking about his "friend" whom luckily wasn't in the facility the day the "disaster" happened, of course, he was crazy and Eris thought he only wanted to play with her mind which proved to be wrong, she found his second hand man a few weeks later, lurking around the prison he was kept in back then. She caught him and put him in a cell besides his cell and decided to keep them both alive until she found what she was looking for."

"Everything you just said still didn't explain the reason why she kept them alive or how." Said Romanov.

"Eris is the only one who knows what exactly is she looking for but she did tell me it is an object which could make or brake the whole supernatural word, my King." Axis bowed his head respectfully, he knew that the answer he gave want enough but it was everything he knew.

"And what is this object, Alpha Eris? Please do tell, how could there be an object which could make or break the supernatural world about which us, the Kings of it do not know?" Eris turned her head as quickly as possible when she heard him.

He was lying.

He knew there was an object that could destroy everything existing , he just didn't know what it was.

She didn't reply, she didn't even make a move to get a piece of paper, she just stood there.

"She can't talk about it. She is forbidden from doing that. It was a sacred promise she made centuries ago to not speak on the matter." Spoke a voice from behind her.

Everyone turned to look at the new intruder besides Eris. She knew who it was.

Each and every one of them fell down on one knee, the King included. Not by will but by the power rolling off of Zeus in waves.

"Zeus, our God." They all chanted.

That was the thing about the supernatural world and the gods, they never mix.

No supernatural has ever seen Zeus before their death, some not even then.

"You may rise."

Eris's eyes we're almost stuck at the back of her head by how annoyed she was, all those interruptions were starting to anger her.

She transformed her index finger into a claw and slashed at Zeus's chest.

While everyone gasped in fear, Zeus's laugh echoed around the house.

This was a usual occurrence.

Whenever he got on her nerves, she would slash his chest once, while he has a lot of scars because of that, he doesn't mind them really, he always finds it funny, the way she expresses herself.
