A Vampire's Slave

XXXV

Time had past and still the ring had yet to be found. Eron gave strict orders that nobody was to leave until the ring was returned.

The looks upon everyone's faces as they became restless and wanted nothing but to leave.

"Eron, I think this is a bit much, perhaps we-"

"No. The ring could not have just vanished! The shaking was only for so long. It could not have gone far. I know it is here somewhere" Eron spoke. His eyes looking elsewhere as he spoke to me.

I myself started to get restless and only wanted to get some sleep. As I open my mouth to speak. There was loud commotion near the entrance of the door.

"The King's orders! Nobody is to leave until the ring is returned!" Shouted a guard.

"What is going on here?" Eron says as he walks towards the entrance, where the commotion was happening.

"He is trying to leave" the guard spoke as he pushed the person towards Eron.

This person stood quite tall with a patch over his right eye. He wore a long cloak which hid his body.

"I need to return to my children." The person spoke.

"You should have thought of that before attending to the party." Eron says to the man
Eron stared him down, giving him a rather suspicious glare as he clenched his fist. 

"Search him"

At Eron's command, the guards searched him, pulling back his cloak to reveal the ring pinned against his cloak.

"Your majesty, he is a thief!" One of the guards yell, holding out the ring everyone was looking for.
The person face expression changed, I could sense fear seeping out of him as everyone in the ballroom turned to him.

"I-I don't know how it got there!" He scrambled to say.

"How dare you!" Eron slams his fist into the person's stomach.
I watched cautiously, slightly stunned but also understanding. He is a thief, stealing from high authority is not what you are to. I know that from Sir Mochief, although I was never so bold to steal; just touching his things sent beatings to me.

I watched as Eron repeatedly hit him until I could take it no longer, seeing blood spewing from his lips caused something to rouse up inside me.

"Eron"

He continued and no one moved, watching as their alpha brutally attack him. The person finally fell to the floor, unable to take the constant hits.

"Eron, stop it!"

The only sounds that could be heard was the constant groans coming from the person and Eron's fist connecting to his body.

"Eron! Please stop!"

"You wish to steal?! Let us go outside, allow our wolves to handle this! I will show you to never place your hands upon things that do not belong to you!" Eron growled.

The person spit blood upon the floor, to my surprise, he stood up.

"I accept" he spoke and a sudden roar went upon the crowd.
