Breaking down walls (Ereri / Riren) fanfic 💖

Chapter "21"

Everything was happening so fast. One minute Eren was being chased by Grisha's men, the next those men were dead and Levi had literally come flying in.

Grisha had his hands on Eren, gripping his shoulder tightly. Eren could see that Levi was definitely pissed off, both from the fact that Grisha was touching him and because Levi wanted his mate back.

He did care. Everything that Levi had said wasn't a lie. Eren felt a little bit relieved inside, but he knew he had more important things to think about, like what Grisha was planning to do.

Everyone was surrounding them. Whatever Grisha had in mind, he wouldn't get very far.

"You know, Rivaille, when I managed to obtain Eren a few weeks back, I predicted at some point that someone would come after him. You could say that I have been prepared for this for a long time now. I never wanted to do this, but I can't hand him over to you. I have my own reasons for doing this, reasons that you could never understand," Grisha said, before pulling out a knife and pressing it to Eren's throat.

What? Okay, now he had gone completely insane! The blade felt wet, like it had just been dipped in a liquid.

Levi's eyes widened, but instead of fear, they were full of anger.

"Grisha, I have had enough of your crap games. You need to make the right decision here. If you make the wrong one, I will break every single bone in your body, with you still alive when I'm done," Levi threatened. Grisha smiled.

"I'm mad, Rivaille, and mad people tend to not listen to people. Your threats done scare me. You see, this blade is coated with an expensive poison. One cut, and the poison will flow into Eren's blood stream. He will be dead soon after," Grisha replied, putting more pressure on to Eren's neck. Eren clenched his teeth.

"What the fuck are you doing? Didn't you want to sell me? Why are you killing your main product?" Eren asked. It wasn't because he felt like being the product, he was just confused. Grisha shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows? I'm mad after all. This boy had ruined my life from the moment he came into this world. He took everything from me: my home, my mate, my pride, everything. I may never have it back, but now that I properly think about it, I would rather have you dead, Eren, than allow you to live," Grisha said to everyone around him. Eren strained against Grisha's hold.

"So this is revenge for something I had no power over. This is you blaming a baby for coming into the world. You could have kept your home. You could have kept your mate. You could have kept your pride. But no, you were too much of a bastard to allow yourself to admit that I was actually special.

"I don't care that I'm an Omega. I'm proud to be one. My mother, my mate, my friends, they are all proud to know me. I don't care if I die here, but if I die, I know that you will not live to see another sunrise. Look around you, Grisha, all these people would gladly kill you for killing me," Eren said.

Eren looked around him and everyone nodded, including Levi, who was smiling a bit. Eren guessed that Levi was proud that Eren had finally said he was proud to be an Omega.

Grisha sighed.

"Why do I care, Eren? My life is gone. But, you know what? This could be my only opportunity to see a King crack. His whole world would probably crumble and fall seeing you dead," Grisha whispered into Eren's ear.

Eren struggled again, his neck was too close to getting cut. His breathing increased rapidly and he just kept his eyes on Levi.

Levi then smiled and held up a piece of paper.

"You've lost, Grisha. You see this? This is a letter from the King of Rose explaining how the Omegas, that you stole, have been taken in. They found your little group of men walking through the forest, not knowing that there were over a hundred men waiting for them up ahead. Those men have either been arrested or are now dead. The Omegas you stole are going to be returned back to their families," Levi said.
