Chapter 162
[Ero’s POV]
I could see the shock on her face as I broke the news of her friend’s death to her.
She stumbled onto the bed, and stared at me in disbelief. I knew this would be hard for her to take in, but seeing her react like this, it hurts more than I expected.
I wished I could shield her from the hurt and the pain, but she had to know, and it was better the information came from me.
“No, no,” she whispered, her voice shaking with fear. “Eros, please tell me you’re joking. Eros. Please… This can’t be real.”
I shook my head, and looked away, I couldn’t look her in the eye, I felt like I failed her. “I’m really sorry, Love,” I said quietly.
She let out a loud, and painful cry, as she started to weep. I reached out to comfort her, but I didn’t know if my touch would help heal her broken heart. I didn’t know what to do and just stood watching her.
After seeing her cry for a while, I couldn’t take it anymore. I pulled her close to me, and held her in my arms. I was relieved when she sank into the embrace.
She pulled away and looked up at me, her eyes were red, and her face was wet from crying. “What happened, Eros? How did she die? Tell me everything,” she asked, her voice cracking.
I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. “You remember three months ago you were summoned to a council meeting at Alpha Theo’s house.”
She nodded. “I remember that you and I, and our friends; Beauty, Arthur and Adonis went together.” she said.
“Yes, and Alpha Theo and Elder Vincenzo gave you two choices. To become Theo’s mistress or face a punishment.”
She nodded again.
“Remember that Luna Lyra, Theo’s wife, was furious? She confessed to Theo neglecting her and always planning of ways to get you back. Then she threatened that none of us would leave that meeting alive,” I muttered, fisting my hands “The doors were locked, but soon enough, Alice and Tom walked into the meeting room.”
Eden nodded “I think that was where everything became foggy. I don’t remember anything that happened after Alice and Tom walked in.”
I held her tightly into my bossom “Okay, let me fill you in. Lyra didn’t stop there with her threats. She started insulting you and said so many terrible things to you… and I lost it” My jaw at the memory.
Pictures flashed, and I was relieving the moment again. Something in me had snapped, and I couldn’t watch Lyra insult my mate anymore.
I sped towards Lyra and grabbed her by the neck, digging my claws into her. She let out a muffled cry.
But when I saw the determination in her eyes, and a chill run down my spine. I knew she was determined to kill Eden if I didn’t comply.
