Love me to death

Refuse

The guests took their seats with ease, almost as if they had experience with the castle and knew it like the back of their hands. There were plates with food already set up on the table - most likely something Eren had done earlier - and glasses of red liquid.

Eren sat at the head of the table, his entire presence radiating leadership, and the raven girl and the blond boy took their seats to his left and right. The other guests filled in the other seats, the woman already picking up her knife with eagerness.

Levi felt like he could barely breathe.

He was sitting on the floor beside Eren, looking no more than a pet to all the monsters around him, and he couldn't be still. It was too difficult for him, and he squirmed in his spot, showing obvious discomfort, until Eren jerked the leash as a warning.

He stopped.

His gray eyes couldn't focus. They kept darting everywhere but Eren - refusing to show any weakness - but always being drawn back to the tall blond man sitting across from the spectacled woman.

"Mikasa, stop staring," Eren said.

Levi looked in the direction of Eren's voice, only to meet the dark eyes of Mikasa. He had seen that look before. It was an expression he had been faced with many times before. It was a mix of disgust and unimpress.

Levi couldn't stop himself from baring his teeth at her. Luckily enough, Eren wasn't paying any mind to him to notice the action. If he had, Levi would have had no doubt that he would have been punished.

"I hope the travel wasn't too long," Eren continued, addressing his guests. There were murmurs of disagreement, and he gave a satisfied smile. "Good."

There was a cheerful giggle from further down the table. Levi looked down it to see the brunette woman with an intrigued look on her face. "Aren't we going to address the real reason we're here?"

Eren smiled, almost proudly, and Levi couldn't help but gulp. "Of course. Stand up, pet."

Levi let out a shuddered breath, clenching his teeth together. There was a part of him screaming in protest and his body followed them well at first. He hadn't moved an inch and his gaze was level with Eren, challenging him for a second.

But the wolf in him, as angry as it was, was also submissive in that moment. He didn't want to experience the punishment that Eren had given to him before, much less to have to deal with anything worse. So he sucked up his pride and stood on his feet, lowering his gaze from the vampires staring at him.

His hands were tightened into small fists and his arms shook, but he didn't speak a word. He even payed close attention to not accidentally growl this time.

Eren who had been silently watching him with a stern look the entire time, hummed in approval. He raised his hand and rested it on Levi's back, pushing him to the side a little.

"Give them a nice twirl, will you?"

Levi gritted his teeth. Eren was trying to show him off, as if he were nothing more than property, and it made him want to snarl at the vampire. He didn't. Instead, Levi moved around in a slow circle, letting Eren point out any part of him that he liked.

Something was off.

It was the same feeling from earlier, the clouded memory, that had Levi stop spinning and suck in a deep breath. He turned around and meet the steady blue eyes of the vampire. The man he knew, but also didn't. The one he felt the most unease with, even compared to Eren, who had treated him like nothing more than a pet.

Also Levi notice the blonde's scent was sort of... Off. He didn't smell truly of a vampire, there was something more, but the ravenette couldn't exactly lay his finger on it. Levi was dragged out of his thoughts as a squeal emitted from the speculated women across the table. "Ugh, I'm so jealous. I need a pet of my own. I don't know where to even find a werewolf. Especially one as cute as him.

Levi narrowed his eyes at the women before Eren lifted his hand up causing Levi to flinch only for Eren to pet his head.

"Yes well, I'm sure of you did have a pet they'd certainly just be used as nothing more then a subject in your lab." Eren commented he gently scratched behind the wolf's ears causing his tail to subconsciously wag at the praise. The raven haired girl rolled her eyes in annoyance as she shifted her gaze toward Levi.

"Honestly it seems more like a pest then a pet. Something more to take care of. Why do you even bother, I don't see why you don't just consume him now." The raven haired girls words were obvious to be of annoyance but she spoke them in a low and monotone calm voice. Nonetheless Levi was furious and he bared his teeth her as a small growl accidentally slipped from his throat. Not even Eren stopped this as he furrowed his eyebrows at the girl but remained in his calm aura.

"Well I'd expect nonetheless from you Mikasa, you'd barley have the patience or responsibility to care for a single rose." The brunette was calm and collected but he fumed with authority and power. At saying that Mikasa sealed her lips and directed her eyes back to her plate.

Eren smiled to himself at Mikasa's quick obedience and directed his attention back toward Levi. Gently laying a hand on the small of the wolves back

"Levi, why don't you go around and personally introduce yourself to each of my guests." Immediately the wolves eyes landed on Erwin's and he tucked his tail between his legs and moved closer into Eren's grasp.

"Don't be shy.." He chuckled pulling him against his body and tilting his head down to whisper in his ear. "I promise not to let them bite... Only I can do that." Eren's eerie tone set shivers down his spine as he swallowed thickly and made his way over to Armin First who seemed the less threatening of the bunch, the blond even seemed timid toward Levi.

He gave him even a sort of look of.... empathy? Levi was sure what to say till the crazy brunette haired women decided to bud herself in and pull Levi toward her side by his wrist. The Raven let out a high-pitched cry at the unexpected action and lowered his ears against his head as she stood next to him and observed his body.

"I've never encountered a werewolf so close! This is so exciting! Eren if you wouldn't mind could I-"

"Absolutely not." Eren was quick to cut her off causing the woman to pout and sit back down before crossing her arms. Eren sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and gestured toward Erwin. "Levi, continue introducing yourself." He commanded. Levi obeyed and turned around to face the mysterious crystal eyed monster. The man smirked as he reached his hand on to pat the top of the raven's head. The rooms seemed to fall silent as wolves heartbeat was the only sound he could hear.

His instincts screamed danger as that hand reached out toward him. Then suddenly Levi snapped, Lowering his ears he backed up against Hanji and growled loudly baring his teeth and biting his hand. A few gasped sounded, though Erwin remained calm and only wiped his hand clean with a napkin, Hanji squealed in excitement, Mikasa clicked her tongue in disgust and stood up. "Ugh you disgusting filthy animal!" She shouted as she held her hand out toward him and Levi was suddenly forced down as a loud ringing sounded in his ears. Levi's eyes widened as he let out high pitched cries of pain and writhed against the floor.

Fuming with anger Eren growled as he slammed his fists into to table and held his hand out toward Mikasa knocking her down. "Enough!" His voice boomed as the raven haired girl grunted as she sat up and lowered her graze.

"It is not your place to punish my mate!" Everyone grew silent as Eren made his way over to Levi and picked him up bridal style in his arms. The guests only stared in silence before glancing up at Levi then back to mikasa. The girls stood up with a pained look in her eyes as she clenched her fists. "Mate...?" She whispered her scarlet eyes held a pained gaze.

Eren glared at Mikasa before turning away and carrying Levi with him. "I'll deal with him... You may choose to stay or leave." Was all Eren said before quickly exiting the room
