Eris, the Alpha of silence.

Chapter 26

Hades and Ezra were enraged to say the least, their soulmate wasn't where she should've been when they woke up, in their arms.

After a throughout consideration, they decided she had some business to attend, they'd rather think that than go on a rampage.

One could only imagine their shock when they saw a star shine brighter than any other, even in the underworld so they decided to go and find out exactly what happened only to be mesmerized by Eris's actions.

Hades was extremely unhappy by how close she was and how far he looked for her, when Ezra brought him to her pack grounds he was unsettled because of his stupidity, he never once thought about looking into her pack, he thought the Alpha was a male and at the time, the only thing he knew about her, was the power rolling off of her in waves which obviously could only belong to someone of a higher stature.

Eris moved slowly out of the water, watching them with interest.

She wondered how they felt after the night they spent together but she couldn't voice her thoughts, after all she shouldn't indulge herself too much in their relationship.

Her eyes blazed, turning a crimson color, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up and everyone could feel a shiver run down their spine at her gaze.

They didn't understand the change in her attitude at first but when they saw her attention move from them to someone behind, they turned rigid.

Eris smirked, her fangs glinting in the moonlight. Her posture relaxed while her movements turned cautious.

Hades and Ezra tried moving but it seemed to be in vain, they were frozen.

Shocked, they looked at Eris, trying to make sense of the situation only to see her right hand in the air, almost commanding their bodies in ways she should never be able to.

Astraeus was gone.

Only Eris, her soulmates and their messenger, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, remained.

"Eris." The messenger spoke.

"You shouldn't have tampered with them. You knew the consequences back then and yet you decided to go ahead with your plan."

She moved closer, consciously walking on eggshells.

"They sent me to..warn you, or rather to give you an ultimatum. After all, they were always the more lenient ones in this game of theirs."

Hades and Ezra started shaking with rage, the fact that they were constricted was truly unbearable. They wanted to stop that woman from hurting their loved one in any way possible yet they were powerless, they couldn't even mutter a word.

Eris moved as well, she walked towards Xyna, knowing damn well there was nothing she could do to her.

She listened closely to whatever Xyna was trying to explain but she couldn't be bothered.

After all it wasn't anything she didn't know already, her only interest was the supposed ultimatum.

Reaching Xyna, Eris moved her hands slowly, tangling them in her hair, the action seemingly innocent.

"Hand yourself over, Ciar. And this could be all over and done with just like that, with a snap of his fingers." She hummed while sardonically enjoying the way Eris moved her hands in her hair.

"Or face the final consequences of your reckless actions for nothing will end up in your favor in this upcoming war."

A sense of foreboding washed over Hades and Ezra, while physically unable to do anything, they could hear everything spoken and they knew the messenger, was never wrong, they hated the feeling of helplessness that washed over them whenever it came to Eris, but this took it to the next level even for them.
