Eris, the Alpha of silence.

Chapter 37

TW:mention of self harm.

Eris stared blankly at Ezra.

She knew who Alcatraz was to him yet she hid it. Alcatraz begged her not to tell Ezra because he was ashamed of his actions and she agreed, she kept his secret for centuries but what she did now, was a mistake.

She shouldn't have allowed Ezra to touch him, even in his unconscious state.

Ezra's eyes filled with hatred as they snapped to hers.

"As my beloved- , no, as my friend, why- how could you hide this from me? You knew, you knew very fucking well, Eris, what he meant to me. How I searched for him, how I suffered after losing him. You fucking knew." He said in disbelief.

Hades could do nothing but stand back and watch the tragedy unfold, his own connection to Ezra thrummed with disgust.

Ezra stood up and walked over to Eris, towering over her as he yelled.

"How could you do this to me? I trusted you, I fucking love you, yet you destroyed me. You always have. From the moment you stared at me with those beautiful eyes and realized we were soulmates, you rejected me, you acted as if we were nothing and I accepted it, I waited and I would've waited for you, I wouldn't have ever taken another, I would've walked this planet alone for the rest of eternity."

He shook his head and took a step back from her, he watched as her dull eyes stared right back at his, she stood unbothered, not an ounce of guilt.

His eyes welled up again, yet this time for a whole different reason.

"You... you have nothing to say? No remorse? YOU MARKED HADES THE FIRST TIME YOU MET HIM!" His voice went up a notch while she stared at him.

"I- , everything-, this is too much, way too much, even for me." Tears started rolling down his face, he took a few staggering steps backwards and headed towards the exit of the prison.

Stopping in his tracks, he turned once again, and with one last fleeting glance at Eris, he wept.

"Goodbye."

Eris did nothing as she merely stood back and watched him leave, she didn't even try to go after him, she didn't lift a finger and Hades was disappointed.

"You should've said something. You should've tried to explain, to him, to me, you owe us one too many answers, you should've went after him yet you stood here. Why?" He asked as he trailed a finger down her throat, touching her scar gently, her actions deeply disturbed him.

Her empty eyes didn't move, they were still on the exit of the prison.

With a heavy sigh, Hades disappeared as well, leaving Eris with an unconscious Alcatraz.

If she won't go after him, I will. He though.

Eris went to Alcatraz and bent down to his level, lifting him up, she disappeared from the prison and appeared in her office, moving to the sofa she gently put him down and arranged a pillow under his head before walking over to her desk and sitting down.

She stared at the black granite, thinking about everything.

Her hands moved to her scar and she extended her claws, trailing them along the edges of the damned scar, her anger rose.

She should've done something, should've said something.

Should've, would've, could've...
