Chapter 192
I froze on the spot.
I couldn’t move, neither could I have said anything. I just watched Eros.
He looked–different. There was something sinister, dark, about him.
Eros tightened his hands around Lord Shevek’s neck.
The silence in the room was loud. Not even a squeak was heard from the crowd. Everyone was careful, as if they knew that one wrong move, and Lord Shevek’s neck would be snapped in two.
“Eden is mine.” Eros growled again. Then he raised a hand in the air to strike Lord Shevek, and I screamed.
“Stop!”
He paused but refused to look at me.
His hand shook.
It was like in that moment, he had a fierce battle with himself to decide if he should strike or not.
After what seemed like forever, he dropped his hand and threw Lord Shevek over to the side.
He turned around, breathing fast. He swept his gaze across the crowd and roared.
It was unlike anything I had ever seen Eros do. He turned to me, his
gaze
fixed on where I stood unmoving.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Beauty move away from Adonis and Arthur as she carefully walked up to Eros. He snapped at her, and she jumped back in surprise.
“It’s me!” Beauty gasped.
Eros lowered his head and bared his teeth at her. She raised her hand in surrender and backed away quickly. Adonis hurried to her side and shoved her behind him. He shielded her from Eros’s gaze.
“Back off.” Adonis warned.
That was dangerous.
It was clear Eros would defeat him if he dared, but Adonis’s desire to protect his mate gave him unusual courage.
I stepped in and took a step closer to Eros. He was my mate. There was no way he would not listen to me. The Eros I knew may be hot–tempered and sometimes act beastly, but he would always listen to my voice.
“Eros.” I called. “Leave Beauty alone!”
He looked at me. The red glow in his eyes was terrifying. But I didn’t see it as a threat. I stepped closer, and Eros watched
- me.
There was no reaction on his face. He just gave me a blank look.
“Eden!” Beauty shouted. “Stay back.”
I frowned. “I need to calm him down.”
“This isn’t Eros. Whatever Eros is right now, it’s something we have not seen before. Don’t touch him.” Beauty said quickly.

Chapter 192
I looked at Eros. He knows pec… he came for me, didn’t he?
Eros sneered, one side of his lips lifted in a dangerous smile.
I backed off. That was close.
From the other side of the room, I saw Lord Shevek recover from his fall. He stood up, his movements a little shaky. He took a deep breath and glared at Eros. He was annoyed.
I was more worried about my mate. What happened to Eros that made him change so much? Why was he suddenly like this? “What a show stopper!” A shrill voice rang out from the doorway. I turned to see Susie with a sly smile on her face.
My heart plummeted into my stomach.
Susie?
She slowly walked to the front, her movements calculated as she threw playful winks at several young male vampires. “What are you doing here?” I asked. I grabbed a fistful of my gown and squeezed tightly. It was hard not to lash out at her.
She made a gesture at Eros.
“We came together. He was so fast he left me behind.” Susie rolled her eyes.
Came together?
I scoffed. I was right after all; Eros has something to do with Susie. He has been cheating on me.
I stalked towards Eros; my claws elongated. I growled out.
Eros looked a little taken aback before he came closer with a growl of his own.
“How dare you do this to me?” I screamed and attacked him. I was so hurt. My claws swiped at his face, leaving a seratch. Eros roared. “Are you challenging me?”
Eros grabbed my arm and pulled me in with so much strength that I fell against him. Before I could fight back, I was suddenly pulled away from Eros’s grasp.
There was a short pause. Eros fixed his eyes on Ryker’s hands around me,
